jon, how different is labour from corbyn to starmer? jonathan: he is meant to be more of a centrist and appeal to some conservatives in the way that corbyn did not. it is unclear if an election will happen anytime soon and whether we get the resignation from the prime minister and ultimately the leadership contest and then further down the road a call for an election. there is a lot to play for here. in the meantime, you will see more resignations in pressure throughout today for the prime minister to resign. tom: who goes to him, as they did with howard dean and others with president nixon? who goes to him and says, enough? jonathan: that is the difficult part of this, lizzy, who is that person? lizzy: oh, i don't think it will be joe biden. but i just want to say about the difference between starmer and corbyn, starmer seem similar to boris johnson in saying that they want to have tax cuts and make brexit work, he needs to create a gap between himself and boris johnson. jonathan: you can continue watching on bloomberg.com. we need to

the beginning, brexit over all, forgetting that one of the reasons i he won so big had to do with corbynctable, - so it was a massive victory, i but there was just one issue. he was untested and the forbearance |that they showed him was beginning| to wane more and more... does that worry you, janet, that he may damage his party, even if he is no longer its leader? he was never properly a team player. he was never really the sort of person who normally gets elected as party leader. i would not take dominic cummings' words absolutely to heart. i know. dominic cummings now loaths him and is out to get him and is delighted at his fall, so i would not take that too seriously. you have to remember, too, that boris was a fantastically popular and successful mayor in the city of london, in a city which is normally solidly labour. that was a perfectjob for him because the mayor of london does not have that much power and cannot pass much legislation, so that was fine, and that kind of popularity, that slightly buffonish quality that was endearing in a mayor was not so great in a prime minister. e

didn't really seem to pay much of a political price because labour was so disorganised underjeremy corbynwith the opposition that does seem to have a pulse, although it doesn't have that kind of inevitability that somehow tony blair had 15 years ago of a young man who knew what he was doing and had the sole system going with them, it doesn't feel like it's quite caught on the air. it doesn't feel like it's quite caught on there. but they'd better play for the centre because the labour party is 13 points ahead in the polls now. even though the ones who brought them, the conservatives are so used to doing that now they may not know how to appeal to the centre very easily, there can have to do it if they're going to win. yes. just across the channel we see a president beleaguered because he lost his parliamentary majority. whoever becomes prime minister of britain has the security of a big parliamentary majority, that might be deceptive in terms of their power and the ability to get things done. it's difficult to compare the two countries because we have a presidential system, you have a par

do you mean, david, that corbynism, in terms of foreign policy — the belief that the west generally isf not the direct cause of it — you've buried that, have you? that's over? yes. both our two main political parties are, in fact, broad coalitions and that is generally the ingredient to running the country — certainly, it is for the labour party. i — perhaps because of my own background, i'm nervous of hiving off to the extremes of any political tradition. keir starmer is, you said at the beginning, is a friend. real friend or political friend? he's a good friend. you know, in the sense that he is a lawyer of my generation — he is a bit older than me but my generation. we are actually now in the same set of chambers, as door tenants, or what they call door tenants — we are not practising barristers, of course. but you carry on, don't you, even... yeah, yeah — you sort of have an association with that set of chambers. you even went to the recent game together, didn't you? we did go to the recent game together! incredibly rash — a gunner and a spurs fan. it was a terrible evening because

need to support our progressive candidates who our county judges in places like harris county and corbyny who are running for court of appeals, who can't win. i think we need to talk with the district attorney races, the county attorney races, when we talk about mayors, we could also talk about commissioners. we have a commissioner candidate here in the room from -- texas who tory and when you lead, for, instance were ready to endorse and support for the first-time candidate, a 30 year old, who will hopefully be our next democratic commissioner in fort pen.

that's what jeremy corbyn said in the last election. there are no other countries raising taxes.cribed our current policy as contractionary, and contractionary essentially means policies that lead to a recession. so, understood, so you would make a gamble on growth. what i am saying, keep taxes low, do the supply side reforms, get growth going. that is the way to increase tax revenues. so, what i want to do is increase tax revenues by growing the economy. not choke off growth by raising taxes. will borrowing that sort of money... no other country is... no other country is following that strategy. following this strategy. will borrowing billions of pounds, you say over £13 billion, increase or decrease inflation? my tax cuts will decrease inflation. really?! because what they do... can you point to a single chancellor, a single governor of the bank of england, a single leading economist who thinks that cutting taxes with borrowed money does anything other than increase inflation? patrick minford, who has written an article about it this weekend. there's one. he is distinguished in

it's much more pro—brexit and any position that jeremy corbyn never took as the labour leader.er of the labour party and the european parliament when we were still there. he's criticised it as well and says he disagrees at this position. so i think, basically, it's about having a position on brexit, we are not afraid to talk about it. partlyjust making a statement saying that, but also i think the other part of it is it is trying to talk to us that labour is in government, a party of government, i think this is something that all the shadow teams under kier starmer�*s leadership has been really wanting to do. it applies definitely to spending commitments.— applies definitely to spending commitments. ~ ., �* , . ., commitments. wouldn't his critics arc ue commitments. wouldn't his critics ara ue that commitments. wouldn't his critics argue that a _ commitments. wouldn't his critics argue that a real— commitments. wouldn't his critics argue that a real political- argue that a real political leadership would actually stick to your principles. he doesn't believe in didn't believe t
