jeremy corbyn wants to build what he calls afairer corbyn wants to build what he calls a fairer countryrations, the rich and the better off. labour would target those he calls dodgy landlords, greedy bosses and polluters. it's a long list. he is promising stronger rights for tenants and for workers, the big arguments about whether higher taxes punish success. labour says it's about fairness, more from those who can afford it, and anyway, most people won't have to pay any more. in this election, so much could come down to the question, who do voters trust? borisjohnson's personal ratings in the polls are low compared to past leaders, but just now, jeremy corbyn's are far worse, worse than any labour leader in decades. now, that can change. whether it does could have a big influence on the outcome of what will be the most unpredictable general election we've seen. in the last few minutes, president donald trump has waded into the election campaign with an attack onjeremy corbyn. corbyn would be so bad for your country. he'd be so bad. he'd take you in such a bad way. he'd take you to such

a huge welcome for mr corbyn.ngths which team corbyn mac really hope they will benefit them at this election, that it is a party now have around half a million embers stop and the hope of team corbyn hope to fight a grassroots campaign. they're hoping that organisation of grassroots will really benefit them. well, there we see mr corbyn just waving to his supporters, getting a huge welcome here. and we wait now for him to be introduced by the local mp as people just settle down. good morning and may i welcome you all to battersea. yeah! it is great to see so many of you here today. i am the mp for battersea. since 2017 when labour won this seat back off the conservatives! it is a very important and appropriate day to remember ourselves that battersea has a proud and radical history. in 1930 in this very building london elected its first black mayor, john archer. he won... he won by a single vote and gave a very notable speech about battersea and its proud history. and in 1923 the first asian mp was elected for bat

his first target was the opposition leader, jeremy corbyn. corbyn would be so bad for your country.ke you in such a bad way. mr corbyn tweeted this in response. "donald trump is trying to interfere in britain's election to get his friend boris johnson elected. "it was trump who said injune, the nhs is on the table, and he knows if labour wins, us corporations will not get their hands on it. "our nhs is not for sale." in the interview, the president also seemed to advocate a johnson—farage marriage. i have great relationships with many of the leaders, including boris. he's a fantastic man and i think he's the exact right guy for the times, i know that you and him will end up doing something that could be terrific if you and he get together as, you know, an unstoppable force. three and a half years ago, brexiteers were incensed when barack obama came to london at david cameron's request to argue why britain should vote to remain in the european union. our focus is in negotiating with a big block of the european union to get a trade agreement done. and the uk is going to be in the back

meeting between jeremy corbyn and borisjohnson, that further meeting between jeremy corbyn and boriswelled agreement which had been agreed on that deal would have been passed. agreement which had been agreed on that dealwould have been passed. -- the withdrawal agreement. let me sketch out another scenario. actually it would have dragged on and drag done possibly into january. all the time the authority of boris johnson would diminish as he made further and further away from october the 31st. at that point, if you tabled a confirmatory referendum, and the choice was between that and no deal, you could have won it. that would have been a highly risky venture. we could very easily have seen the clock running down the ofjanuary and i think we are now at a point where the european union is not likely to be enthusiastic about extending yet again and we might have up crashing out after the 31st ofjanuary. an election in december, whatever their date by now pretty much inevitable. i think that is the case. if not on the 9th of december, certainly on the 9th of december, certainly on the 12t

corbyn to go for this.er has given away his promise of brexit do ordie on given away his promise of brexit do or die on october the 31st? and thereafter, we simply cannot read what is going to happen? yes, and i think what is interesting is, even yesterday, cabinet ministers were on the airwaves saying we will leave in october the 31st, with or without a deal, even though everyone else was going, that is blatantly not going to happen now, because of course, because of the benn act, named after hilary benn, that forced boris johnson to write that letter to the eu asking for a delay to brexit. it was not something he wanted to do, but by law, he had to do it, and there was lots of chat about whether there was lots of chat about whether there was lots of chat about whether there was some way he could wriggle out of that law, lots of speculation about how he might do that. it didn't happen. in the end, he wrote the letter. the eu are now going to come back to say whether they agree to that or not. we don't know

jeremy corbyn the campaigner is back.nergy of the home crowd, it is whether his party can translate this into a convincing campaign in every corner of the country. i have already been out campaigning, it is really positive on the doorstep. if we are going to have a chance, it has got to be now. 100% full commitment. one thing 10096 full commitment. one thing that's more important is that we have a huge ability of people. in case you're wondering what boris johnson wants to talk about, he spent the halloween he had hoped for in class in suffolk. men are trumpeting the government's plans for new hospitals in cambridge. squirt some in there? what might having to explain why he is asking us having to explain why he is asking us to go to the polls at all. this parliament is just not going to get brexit through. all we can do now is go to our people, go to the country and say, "come on, let's get this thing done. we have an oven ready deal, put it in the microwave." the lib dems tried to take their stop brexit message around pa

notjeremy corbyn but also any other mp.isible splits in the shadow cabinet. jeremy corbyn has tried to contain more unified position where there was an agreement that labour would back a referendum on any brexit deal. that papered over the cracks for a while but the state you are seeing developers some shadow cabinet members being clear they would vote for remain, others such as an ally ofjeremy corbyn saying that he would campaign for a labour brexit, and corbyn trying to be the man in the middle, holding it together, she has consistently avoided being pinned down to which side he would campaign for. that is partly a product that labour is in an awkward position where most of its voters backed remain most labour hailed constituencies voted leave. it is simultaneously try to represent doncaster and islington, very different views. jeremy corbyn's leadership, rumblings behind—the—scenes, who is actually in charge, suggestions john mcdonnell is no leader in all but name. jeremy corbyn refused yesterday to say if he would stay

here's its leaderjeremy corbyn.radical and exciting plan for real change ever put before the british electorate. so, jeremy corbyn is promising radical change. here's an example of what he means by that. we are going after the tax dodgers, we are going after the dodgy landlords, we are going after the bad bosses, we are going after the big polluters, because we know whose side we, the labour party, are on. applause jeremy corbyn also spoke out against giving american firms greater access to the national health service via a uk—us trade deal after brexit. something mr corbyn thinks will happen. and he attacked boris johnson directly. his toxic brexit trade deal with trump could hand over £500 million per week of nhs money to big drug corporations in america and around the world. we will stop them, labour won't let donald trump get his hands on our national health service. donald trump got involved in uk politics today. he spoke at length earlier with the brexit party leader nigel farage on mr farage‘s lbc radio show.

his first target was the opposition leader, jeremy corbyn. corbyn would be so bad for your country.take you in such a bad way. mr corbyn tweeted this in response: in the interview, the president also seemed to advocate a johnson—farage marriage. i have great relationships with many of the leaders, including boris. he's a fantastic man and i think he's the exact right guy for the times, i know that you and him will end up doing something that could be terrific if you and he get together as, you know, an unstoppable force. 3.5 years ago, brexiteers were incensed when barack obama came to london at david cameron's request to argue why britain should vote to remain in the european union. ourfocus is in negotiating with a big block of the european union to get a trade agreement done. and the uk is going to be in the back of the queue. but that sparked a backlash and may well have been counter—productive. for all the proclaimed closeness between the president and prime minister, the real test of us—uk relations will come with the negotiation of a post—brexit trade deal and here, the presi

the next prime minister, jeremy corbyn!ur leader got a warm welcome in the cold weather, speaking on the stump to supporters is what he likes to do best. he set out clear dividing lines for his opponents. this election is a once in a generation chance to transform our country, to take on the vested interests that are holding people back, and ensure that no community in any part of this country is ever left behind again. even if the rivers freeze over, we are going out to bring real change for the many, not the few. he said labour would take on what he called a rigged and corrupt system that worked only for a privileged elite. we are going after the tax dodgers, we are going after the dodgy landlords, we are going after the bad bosses, we are going after the big polluters, because we know whose side we, the labour party, are on. applause. this wasn't exactly a pitch for the centre ground byjeremy corbyn. his tone was uncompromising. it was designed in part to appeal to young voters and previous non—voters who need to be conv

this is jeremy corbyn's is notjust a brexit election. this isjeremy corbyn's big pitch.xt election, which, as you know, is on december the 12th. we will be bringing you full coverage of that speech live with annita. thanks, victoria. you're watching bbc newsroom live — it's11am. this is the scene in south london, where the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, is due to launch his party's campaign. we will bring you that speech as soon as we will bring you that speech as soon as it begins but first the headlines. party leaders lay out their pitches with six weeks to go until the december general election. on the day the uk was meant to leave the european union, we'll be bringing you the very latest from the campaign trail. police in cambodia say the body of british backpacker amelia bambridge has been found more than a week after she went missing. twitter bans all political adverts, saying they pose a risk to democracy — but facebook says it

corbyn ended better than expected against theresa may.think i was different the last time around? dallas is first showing. nobody knew what corbyn the campaigner would do. it depends. corbyn and his fans are banking on his repeating that performance. he is a great campaigner. to be not a good parliamentary person and outside of the elections, but he would want to ta ke the elections, but he would want to take the campaign away from brexit onto the health service, and some labour's plans are quite popular. although the tories are trying to neutralise that with the big spending promises and ending austerity. exactly. there is no doubt that boris johnson austerity. exactly. there is no doubt that borisjohnson is a much better campaigner than theresa may. you can't really look to 2017 for that kind of precedent and ijust think that it is so uncertain at the moment, nobody quite knows how stories will develop and what twists and turns we are going to see over the next day or two. but this is all a giant gamble. the prime minister is taking a m

going back to jeremy corbyn as leader, lots of labour mps andi corbyn as leader, lots of labour mps and that he is not an electoral asset. they said a lot of people are very uncertain about him as prime minister partly because of the last couple of years, the allegations of anti—semitism, that have obviously been directed at the party for a very long time now, are you worried that is going to be an issue when people consider him as an issue when people consider him as a future prime minister?” an issue when people consider him as a future prime minister? i say jeremy corbyn is the only politician in this house that can go to different parts of this country and command crowds of ten to 15,000, tell me what of the politician can do that, the answer is there isn't andi do that, the answer is there isn't and i have every confidence in jeremy corbyn. he is a man who was laid out the agenda for the labour party and who laid out the 2017 ma nifesto party and who laid out the 2017 manifesto and he is the man who will lead the liberal party to victory in 2019. thank you very much. such is the vi

i think the key is that you are not voting forjeremy corbyn, you are voting forjeremy corbyn, you areke change happen. what about you, ben? you are going out in places like morley where there is a conservative majority or pudsey where there is a 300 vote majority for conservatives. it is narrow. is he the reason some people are coming over to your side? there are those who are friends of jeremy corbyn. there are leaders who get it in the neck from the media. the way ed miliband was treated was dreadful and some people have short memories. ourjob dreadful and some people have short memories. our job now dreadful and some people have short memories. ourjob now is do what we did in 2017 and turn those figures around. ithink did in 2017 and turn those figures around. i think once the immediate legally start to behave themselves in the run—up to an election, it makes the job easier. how tough is it going to be, having to move the path of brexit? i don't think it will be too much of a task. the media focuses on brexit quite a lot but i think when his focus on voters out there, most people c

less than complimentary about jeremy corbyn. programme. less than complimentary aboutjeremy corbyn. of a slight is that to your leader? i'm rather pleased he's got the message because a labour government will not be throwing themselves into the arms of donald trump for a free trade agreement that would see him have open access to our national health service. we already know the plans they have for our pharmaceutical concerns. they want to be able to sell as drugs at massively inflated prices, hence the secret negotiations going on between the uk government officials and the pharmaceutical industry in the united states. we are not doing that, we are not going to see the bill right from £80 billion a year to £45 bill right from £80 billion a year to £16 billion. people need those drugs for asthma and diabetes and we are not going to let donald trump or his friends see the united kingdom asa his friends see the united kingdom as a feeding ground to get rich on, and norare we as a feeding ground to get rich on, and nor are we going to lie them to pollute our country with chlorine checki

will be do know is that jeremy corbyn and borisjohnson both wa nt to jeremy corbyn and borisjohnson bothus versus them campaign read them versus us. literacy from the prime minister. was perfectly obvious to me that this parliament is just was perfectly obvious to me that this parliament isjust not going to vote brexit through. too many people who are basically the opposed to brexit. one thing we can do now is go to our people, the country and say let's get this thing you have the oven ready deal, put it in the microwave and as soon as we get back oi'i microwave and as soon as we get back on the 12th of december, get it done and then let's get on with our domestic agenda. out on the campaign trailfor domestic agenda. out on the campaign trail for you saw that clip there. for the shop in the hospital gave us these very practical gloves. a bit small, but they might fit him a bit better. when they are having the votes, had proper anxiety because look like it was nailed on so i ordered three new jumpers, look like it was nailed on so i ordered three newjumpers, bargain jumpers to the campaig

he told jeremy corbyn to man up.re complicated than that because they want to remove the threat of a no—deal brexit, due to happen at the end of next week in six days' time. potentially later on whenever the eu decides to offer the uk and extension in response to that request that boris johnson was forced to make by mps. everyone having their say on that vote, expected in parliament on monday under the fixed—term parliaments act, which requires a two thirds majority for boris johnson to act, which requires a two thirds majority for borisjohnson to get the election that he wants, which is why it is so difficult to obtain without a majority of opposition parties in favour, one party we have been hearing from about whether they are willing to back it or not is the dup. until recently he would expect them to vote largely in line, if not a lwa ys them to vote largely in line, if not always in line with the conservative party, being their supply partners in government, propping up the minority conservative government. but

butjeremy corbyn will love the fact is being attacked by donald trump.a post brexit us uk trade deal and the potential that has four damaging the nhs. it's really interesting that trump wades in and says borisjohnson and farage needs to do a deal, exactly what his friend nigel farage have been arguing for the tory have resisted. it might mean the brexit party stands aside in constituencies where they are vying for votes with the conservatives. they're they are vying for votes with the conservatives. they‘ re understand that might have been —— happen and the brexit party is divided. some would and wouldn't like to do a deal with the conservatives but we know the problem for boris is even though he is well ahead in the polls, well ahead of labour, quite a substantial number of the exit boats go to the brexit party, you might not get his majority and he is looking for his majority and he is looking for his majority and he is looking for his majority and in a way, some deal between the conservative party and the brexit party makes a lot of sense. my guess is

willjeremy corbyn take part in those?r society, we wa nt to society, transform our society, we want to give people hope back again to get the message across so let's have those debates. it's interesting now that you are fully entering election mode when you have had three opportunities to go for a general election and haven't done it up general election and haven't done it up until this point. we had to make sure no deal was off the agenda. that's the first thing. we were growing up and said to the government if you want to get your withdrawal bill through bring it forward because we can then debate it properly, amend it and put it back to the people. they were not willing to do that. they did all sorts of ridiculous manoeuvres, not giving of time for parliament, threats to individual mps, sacking 21 of their own members because they said they want a democratic debate, ridiculous. now we got to the point where we said, ok, our bottom line is get no deal of the agenda from the european union, we've got that, bring on the e

and the telegraph is in this nightmare, johnson tells jeremy corbyn.is, correct me if i'm wrong, until no deal is off the table, then they won't agree to an election and when would no deal be off the table? no deal is never quite off the table in the sense, because it would have the proposed extension until the end ofjanuary but that is actually quite soon when you take into account the christmas break and so on, but the view, implicit in jeremy corbyn's view and a longer extension, of a few weeks to try and get the deal through quickly, then he would be bouncing back and election. the problem would be regardless of a jeremy corbyn says, labour mps are not going to vote for that under any circumstances. so he could up they could definitely support this believer mps will just could definitely support this believer mps willjust rebel rebel andi believer mps willjust rebel rebel and i do what he says? quite possibly. whether boris johnson could get that magic number, the fixed time, you need somebody in peace to back him and that is the numberto keep in p

(tx sot) that was jeremy corbyn speaking that wasjeremy corbyn speaking on itv.irely clear about his position, saying if no—deal is taken off the table he would go along with the idea of a december election, but isn't it the reality that a lot of labour mps isn't it the reality that a lot of labourmps simply isn't it the reality that a lot of labour mps simply don't want an election at the moment and wouldn't vote one even ifjeremy corbyn tells them that they should? that is the case. there are many labour mps who are not happy about the prospect of an election in the coming weeks. they look at the opinion polls and think frankly their party doesn't stand a chance of winning at the moment. jeremy corbyn would of course disagree with that and there are many labourmps course disagree with that and there are many labour mps who would be up for the fight but that is part of the dynamic here you have in parliament, with opposition parties being in the curious position of being in the curious position of being very reluctant to push for a general election, which in nor

the next prime minister, jeremy corbyn! got a warm welcome in the cold weather, speaking on the stump to supporters is what he likes to do best. he set out clear dividing lines for his opponents. this election is a once in a generation chance to transform our country, to take on the vested interests that are holding people back, and ensure that no community in any part of this country is ever left behind again. even if the rivers freeze over, we are going out to bring real change for the many, not the few. he said labour would ta ke not the few. he said labour would take on what he called a rigged and corrupt system that worked only for a privileged —— privileged elite. corrupt system that worked only for a privileged -- privileged elite. we are going after the tax dodgers, we are going after the tax dodgers, we are going after the tax dodgers, we are going after the dodgy landlords, we are going after the bad bosses, we are going after the bad bosses, we are going after the big polluters, because we know whose side we, the

borisjohnson boris johnson and jeremy corbyn borisjohnson and jeremy corbyn have clashed over the nhse city of liverpool — world —famous for its music and football — was named european capital of culture in 2008. it's outward looking, and home to more than 37,000 businesses and several universities. a majority of its residents voted remain in the eu referendum, and in the last election its five seats were all won by labour. as the uk looks ahead to polling day, alison freeman has been finding out how the city might vote this time around. three years of brexit uncertainty has hung over liz's business, an international events company in the heart of liverpool. she voted remain and thinks an election is the last thing we need. i don't think this is going to be a general election as we know them, in the past. i think it literally is going to be an election to see who you vote for, in terms of, do we go out of europe or do we stay in europe? so you don't think we should have a general election? what do you think should happen next? whatever the deal is, and however the deal is, let's just

those that are around jeremy corbyn say it is like last time.nd the conservatives in terms of seats. they haven't won a general election since 2005, but they think, if they can start talking about issues other than brexit, it can get onto their turf where they can feel stronger. they have radical policies which appeal to people. boris johnson have radical policies which appeal to people. borisjohnson sees it as brexit being the thing that can getting back into downing street. thank you for that analysis. it's a lwa ys thank you for that analysis. it's always the way, you go to the door, he doesn't arrive, but borisjohnson has just returned to downing street, knowing that the country will go to an election on the 12th of december. hello there. it's interesting that although the rain has stopped across the country, and although the sun is out, we have had some flood warnings. further south, we have seen most of the rain today in the south—west corner of england, where it has been pretty rainy, too, affecting other areas of england and south wales.

borisjohnson leads over jeremy corbyn, twice as much, in terms of support.r, terms of support. doesn't look great forthe conservatives, either, it's going to be quite close, there won't bea going to be quite close, there won't be a massive majority. the longer labour stops boris johnson having be a massive majority. the longer labour stops borisjohnson having a general election, the more he looks like he will miss the deadline, the more he looks like the prime minister who failed on the one thing he promised which was to get britain out of the eu. there are a lot of benefits for labour in waiting are not many for it right now. waiting is loss —— are waiting as long as possible. yes. lets have a look at the cartoon, no room here for a polling station at christmas, you'll have to use the stable! it would be the 1st of december election getting on for a century. yes, i think the last was in 1918. it would be unusual. we are much more used to elections in the spring. it'll be interesting how it goes down with the electorate. because at that time of year peoples

jeremy corbyn will be so badly your country.laces that your country has tremendous potential, it's a great country. the president's criticism came just hours after labour launched its election campaign — with a promise to take on, what they call, the establishment elite. we are going after the tax dodgers, we are going after the dodgy landlords, we are going after the bank —— the bad bosses, we are going after the big polluters because we know whose side we, the labour party, are

that's the key line, a vested interest ofjeremy corbyn targeting people.ch saying these multimillionaires control in these multimillionaires control in the country and as the saying goes for the many not a few. and that line will be hammered out again and again whether it's about the banks or newspapers as the hope that both parties in a sense, both big parties are competing to put portray themselves as being on the side of themselves as being on the side of the people against the establishment, and a lot will hinge oi'i establishment, and a lot will hinge on which guests that hinges on. establishment, and a lot will hinge on which guests that hinges onlj was talking to a few pollsters and one that used to be in number ten, and actually the theory behind how this election was going to be framed very much around boris and many of the tories being elitist. and the idea that labour were far more in tune with the people, wherever the people or any more i don't know if we can quite define those as one group. but that was very much the sense that from the a lot

a big picture ofjeremy corbyn. jeremy corbyn's line, the tories don't represent the people, we do., and it's striking, the tories other party of vested interests, multimillionaire media magnates, and the conservatives will counter, we other party of the people, and will try to deliver brexit. it's a very populist election that both parties are zeroing in on the people against the establishment and that will be a recurring theme throughout this. what this does the faith in our system and faith in our parliament, i don't know but... in the argument that any of the parties represent the people, given the people voted, i'm not some big brexit here but the reality is, the public voted for something known as managed to deliver it. i'm not sure anyone really represents the views of the majority, certainly on that issue and you could argue that the complete absolute failure to deliver on anything actually over the last couple of years would suggest that no—one quite represents anyone properly. this line, this election isa properly. this line, this election is a once in a generation chance

, saying that she could no longer argue for the party with mr corbyn as leader.e is fit to be prime minister, and attacking as she sees it the rise in anti—semitism in the party while mr corbyn has been leader. she does leave open the idea that she could rejoin the party if mr corbyn departs the leadership, but no response from the labour party tonight. i'm sure, excuse me, they will contest some of the accusations she makes. but i really skating resignation tonight. thank you very much indeed —— a really scathing resignation. and we have had a statement from a labour party spokesperson, saying jeremy corbyn thanks louise ellman for her service to labour over many years. they say they are fully committed to the support, defence and celebration of the jewish community and support, defence and celebration of thejewish community and continue to ta ke thejewish community and continue to take robust action to root out anti—semitism in the party and wider society. that statementjust reaching us, attributed to a labour party spokesperson. and we will find out how this s

the prime minister tells jeremy corbyn

corbyn says he wants the armed forces disbanded. we want in a scaling style points-based system for immigration. he does not even believe in immigration control. it jeremy corbyn work allowed would ripe street, he up the alliance between britain and the united states. he would break up the united kingdom. we cannot allow it to happen. it is worse than that because it has become absolutely clear that he is determined to frustrate brexit. do we want one delight? do we want to spend another billion pounds a month on eu membership? that could be going on the nhs. brexit done. it's believed in ourselves and what we can do. age andurated the steam in manchester, the atomic age, the age of the genome. world sick came -- succumbed in economic fashion, this party under a female prime minister pioneered marketing ideas that spread across the planet. every one of those ideas was controversial. every one of them was difficult but we always had the courage as a country to be original and do things differently. now we are about to take another gi

jeremy corbyn. do not want to december election. jeremy corbyn. so that is what you do not want to december electionlj think we want to do what is right for the country, to get brexit over and then have a general election. in the likelihood of winning and losing, it is likely borisjohnson thinks that dashing forward, the remainder will split between the liberal democrats and labour and he will win with a majority of the votes in a minority of the seats. that would be a tragedy for democracy itself and also a travesty for the economy, which would be broken by brexit. we need to sort this brexit problem out there putting his reckless deal to the people, so it has got votes right across the country, not broken up and divided by constituencies with splits between various different groups, get that sorted, and have a general election and all the other issues we want to get on with. we can only get on with those issues if we get over brexit, and in my view, the best way to do that is to stop it. mrjohnson

town i live in, and it looked awfully likejeremy corbyn! this sort of stuff, but of course the labour party is in a terrible turmoil about whether to vote for an election because they will be seen as holding everything back. if you are in opposition, surely you want an election? day after day, they say they are holding back the country. staying with elections, as far as the electoral roll goes, we could be missing quite a few age groups thatjeremy corbyn would like to see on there. this is about getting 16—year—olds added onto the electoral roll, and the cabinet office, who i think is in charge of all of this, have told ministers that it would take six months to make sure that that was possible. now, we know that 16—year—olds were allowed to vote in the scottish rail referendum or those year ago in the dim and distant past, there is a huge argument had they been able to vote in the referendum on europe, it might‘ve been a outcome. i was a lwa ys might‘ve been a outcome. i was always quite opposed to the idea, but i have actually come round

jeremy corbyn launches the labour campaignfor jeremy corbyn launches the labour campaign for the generalhe day that the uk was supposed to be leaving the european union. that is all from the bbc news at one, goodbye from me, and now time for the news team is where you are. good afternoon. we have got your latest sports news for you. england's world cup final is edging ever closer, and we now know the side that will start against south africa in yokohama on saturday. they've kept the faith with the same starting 15 that were so dominant in that brilliant semi—final win over new zealand. it means that george ford stays as fly—half, and captain owen farrell at centre. england have been out and about in toyko overnight, and head coach eddiejones says their sole focus now is themselves. there has been a higher expectation within the team. we started out the first day of wanting to be the best tea m first day of wanting to be the best team in the world, so that is where we wa nted team in the world, so that is where we wanted to go. the outside stuff, asi we wanted to go. the outside stuff, as

time for corbyn — man up, let's have an election on december the 12th.t even suggested the government would just ask again and again for an election if mps said no, virtually go on strike from doing anything else. really? isn't that an irresponsible way to go about things? i think you are totally confused here. we are going to be governing in the interests of the country. so maybe no government strike after all. hello again, welcome back... but what will labour do? the party's split, and jeremy corbyn's in no hurry to give the pm the quick election he wants. for now, he's saying no election until there is no chance at all of leaving with no deal. i hope the eu grants an extension. my position is we've got to get no—deal taken off the table first, because it would be catastrophic forjobs and businesses. for brexit, as one door opens, another is closed. have a good day. no comment. it was a very good discussion. brussels' chief negotiator was meeting eu ambassadors and keeping the uk guessing. while mps wait to see what kind of extension's offered, the eu

if you go for corbyn, you could be extending it even further. i won't say it is not possible.ed that shirt by saying that brexit means praxis. i think the moment for reaching out consensus has gone you think it is too late? they could have offered it at several points, but the fact was that mps in the commons have not managed to get enough agreement among them. it seemed to be bubbling up again a month ago, but theyjust haven't managed to get the numbers. in quebec, we used to call it the neverendum. i know you don't do astrology, but a december election? i think we could have it. i don't think so. we used to say in this country, when we we re we used to say in this country, when we were trying to encourage people not to buy dogs as pets for children, a dog is for life notjust for christmas. i think brexit could be something similar.

his biggest asset isjeremy his biggest asset is jeremy corbyn.ular leader of the opposition since polling began. corbyn supporters will say that he was behind and look how well he did against theresa may. of course, he didn't win, but he did better than expected. i think that has changed and there is much less empathy and much less support forjeremy corbyn's party and for him. none of us would be foolish enough to sit around and predict the future, but it certainly doesn't speak well of labour's chances. if they thought they had a chance, they would be jumping for a vote. can i say one counterintuitive thing? everybody seems to be saying, corbyn's proposition on brexit is a, incomprehensible and calamitous vote—loser. stepping back, it seems highly sensible to offer a softer brexit rather than to remain. some people might disagree, but why is it incomprehensible? he hasn't said which deal or what his own deal might be. look, we don't need to tease out all of the many things. you fluttered it by simplifying it. might ambiguity be helpful in a camp

so what does jeremy corbyn be absolutely fundamental. so what doesjeremy corbyn do this week? you think that now is a good time to press the button on that or is that not a good idea given that we are sitting on a withdrawal agreement and i‘m waiting for committee stages. there are two things arejeremy corbyn, welcoming the opportunity to get back onto his pitch which is talk about austerity, public policies and he would do that because he is doing a pitch to the general public but within the labour party there is a debate saying would it be better to try and delay it further? but for the spring if it is all possible saying that brexit has not been sorted out and let‘s wait for the prime minister to share and hope that by then it looks a bit healthier is leave or stay to get potentially a bit fed up with the prime minister that is not taking. i suppose when attraction is you keep them in office but not in power and that point, he should be a soft target for you. here is your prime minister is not doing anything, we should have another party in power. they‘ll put a lot of press

both the dup and jeremy corbyn are saying their parties won't vote for it.eu? earlier, our europe editor, katya adler, spoke to huw edwards. i'm just wondering today, catty, what your take is on the fact they've agreed this deal might relieved about that, and yet how nervous are they about what's going on in westminster into days and do they have a plan in case that doesn't go to plan? i thought the body language was really interesting, you, because if you have a look at borisjohnson with the eu leaders, there was a lot of backslapping and bono me and it belies the fact underneath those eu leaders are very sceptical when the prime minister said i've got the numbers in parliament to pass this deal. we got a whiff of that from michel barnier, the eu chief negotiator, he said the prime minister said he has the numbers and we must leave him but they don't really. up their sleeve, we must leave him but they don't really. up theirsleeve, of we must leave him but they don't really. up their sleeve, of course, is the possibility of another brexit extension and eu le

the sun having a go at jeremy corbyn, calling him a chicken, ducks, all the game...not voting this christmas. 12th night, forthright, jeremy corbyn, we have been talking for muncie wanted an election and yet when presented for an opportunity he does not take it. —— talking for months that jeremy corbyn. they have had this creative ambiguity, they are for remain and get his position seems quite absurd. corbin is not for remain. he would negotiate another deal and then come back and basically tell the voters not to vote for a labour deal. labour's position is really pretty indefensible. on the one hand the leadership wants brexit and then go to the country or wants to pretend that they do not want brexit but really they do. lots of labour mps quite worried. the leave seat up in the north particularly. worried about languishing in the polls, jeremy corbyn unpopular as party leader and a lot fearing they will lose their seats. i am not sure the jeremy corbyn magic of 2017 is that there. he does not look well. i think they were hoping they would before they would have to

jeremy corbyn. mr. corbyn: this deal enshrines the principle we keep pace with the european union on environmental standards and protections, putting at risk our current rules from air pollution standards to chemical safety. we all know the public concern about these issues. all at the same time that we are facing a climate emergency. and as for workers' rights, we simply cannot give the government a blank check. mr. speaker, you do not need to take my word for all of this. listen, for example, do the tuc general secretary who says this -- she does represent an organization that has 6 million members affiliated to it. this deal, mr. speaker, would be a disaster for working people. it would hammer the economy, cost of jobs and sell workers' rights down the river. listen to the representative of the british manufacturers.
