it's an extraordinary link between dominic cummings and jeremy corbyn. yeah, it's a remarkable story. politically after his long - career in the law as jeremy a second referendum. and that was why he i was so popular among what was he thwarting on the other side? - what did the corbynites want to do? _ and in the process, beat the tories in an election| and split them forever. mind bending. to work for boris johnson as his principal adviser, reality. when that fails... ..kaboom. he had that as a very boomer. in the way that you did. another scoop, of course, is that there was the lockdown if he had to go because he said he'd go, didn't he? yeah. leadership bids, and that is indeed what happened. obviously, it was contingency planning, but on one side you had wes streeting, now the health secretary, and was thinking about it. but he knew at the same time that rachel reeves, the shadow chancellor, would probably be thinking you know. and he says, have you thought about what you're going to do? and she said, i don't think it's going to happen. to which wes

leader of the labour party, at a point at which people said no—one sort of further right ofjeremy corbyn his supporters could ever become leader of the labour party again. what his now chief of staff and then campaign director morgan mcsweeney found was actually labour members, labour party members, whether they'd come into the labour party on the wave of corbynite enthusiasm, orwhetherthey'd been knocking doors since harold wilson were united by a few things, and top of that list is a commitment to the welfare state. right. that is why this issue is potentially so tricky and so controversial for rachel reeves — and the bill for the welfare state is increasing. of bumps post—covid. it, here's how you go and get a sick note. exactly. a bit of nuance here. but just to sort of explain it to people at the moment, if you are out of work, there's basically two if you get offered them. a portion of your benefits. get more money and you are not required to seek work or do certain things. is that that is what rachel reeves, i'm told repeatedly tells colleagues in meetings is a perverse incentive,

they voted corbyn, but if he hadnt to. but if he hadn't been standing, they were going to vote reform. so there's also a thing where people want authenticity, and it doesn't always map to what you think might make sense ideologically. >> that's a that's a good point. but the actual leaders of the party say someone who is a like you say, a labour councillor, what does that guy believe? that he could go to? reform? >> woman. cathy. >> woman. cathy. >> woman. cathy. >> woman. what's a woman? >> woman. what's a woman? >> well. >> well. >> let's move on. we've got the independent, lewis and ed miliband is backing down on at least one of his ridiculous communist green policies. >> oh, my god, this guy is ridiculous. now, even ed miliband, who is david miliband's younger brother, doesn't matter. doesn't matter really backs heathrow. so much for his green dream. this is in the independent. how much is the independent tomorrow? >> just tell us the story. we've got a minute. >> the independent is free because it's online. i don't kn

anna jeremy corbyn i really apologize for mispronouncing her name. she goes. the belt and road initiative is basically indentured servitude for other countries to the ccp, right? well, there you go. that's what they think. i think that's. >> the they they're sorry. >> i totally agree with them. >> yeah, i know, i know, there is a belief. >> i'm a hardliner. >> that ultimately these. >> countries have built up. >> a lot of debt to. china and that they prefer. >> to do things. >> not like aid to help. people in. >> terms of their. health and things. >> of that nature. >> but much more about building things. >> yes. >> building a giant airport. >> or building, which. >> ultimately could. >> be of help. >> but but. >> this is a very this is a call that is basically something that a henry kissinger. >> all right. so we've already we've transitioned to palantir. have you taken us. >> there already? no, i didn't mean to because. >> we have a very. >> detailed i did not mean to do that. okay? i didn't mean to do it. i was trying to talk about china, and i was using a

let's hear from corbyn from new jersey, republican line. caller: how are you doing today?e a quick question about tariffs. i think the tariffs are a good bargaining chip to coerce other nations and organizations globally to be more cooperative in america's needs but i want t. i know the tariffs aren't going to be very good but do you think this administration will also go after something like the federal income tax to help with putting more money in america's pockets? guest: this is a top priority for the republican trifecta, not just the white house but also republicans in congress, is the tax cuts that president trump got passed under his first term are expiring at the end of the year so the idea is they want to extend those and president trump also ran on potentially adding more. he ran on no tax on tips, no tax on social security, he talked about potentially lowering the corporate tax rate further. and so it's unclear to what extent they'll be able to do that. one big question is, we already have quite a large amount of federal debt and taxes are revenue. so there's tw

tonight's robert jenrick is called our attorney general jeremy corbyn in a wig.nd we'll come on to that story and look at the reasons why a little bit later on in the programme. but for now. hello, gents. you're very, very welcome. thank you. our as are each and every single one of you. you know the drill. get in touch with me all the usual ways. email me gb views @gbnews. com you can go to twitter. you can x me there. or of course you can go to the website gbnews.com/yoursay and talk to me and each other. and speaking of talking to me, i've had a great many of you sending me quite a distressing video, shall we say, which took place in a hotel today. i want you to know that i absolutely acknowledge that video, and i've beenin acknowledge that video, and i've been in contact with the police today to try and get to the bottom of what on earth has been going on. so as soon as i've managed to confirm something. worry not. we shall be discussing that story. but look also imminently about to take place. donald trump. he is about to take to the stage essentially, and is

and this is really the sequel to their first book on jeremy corbyn. this is about how keir starmer's leadership started in 2020 and up until 2024, even senior people like morgan mcsweeney, now number 10 chief of staff, thought he was a bit of an air boss. there's one line about him supposedly driving the train, but actually it's a dlr driverless train. and actually just people were despairing all along the way. and there were various points they thought he was going to lose. up until 2021, they thought he might not stay as leader. and that, i think, is the big takeaway really, actually, is that there was always that sense of the project was being made up on the spot, andifs was being made up on the spot, and it's an interesting story about how he came to be prime minister and win such a huge majority. given all the odds against him. >> he probably didn't think he was going to become prime minister. maybe he thought he was kind of going to be the holding pattern labour leader to sort of see what happens to the conservatives and then maybe hand the bato
