and david miliband actually. and david miliband spent a lot of time in the united states.ce, i just feel like these choices quite hearken back to 20 years ago. yes, could we get some fresh labour thinking and blood in the mix? you know, people who maybe have more of a less of a globalist worldview, the, you know, the republicans right now are actually very much labour focused in the sense they had the president of the teamsters union speak at the republican national convention, maybe less progressive people and more people who are, focused more traditional labour representative would work better with these republicans , maybe with these republicans, maybe nigel farage of this parish. >> well, there you go. could be a conduit. >> do you think just very, very quickly, i think running out of time. >> i think he would be very useful. yes. all right. >> to good know, sarah elliott. thank you very much indeed for joining me this morning. this story will run and run and we'll keep you updated with it on gb news because i think everyone is slightly on biden. watch right now. so st

david miliband, douglas alexander, i mean, i wouldn't speculate out today. they'd probably where we probably will find out today and lammy has spent time meeting not just leaders in the u.s. but leaders in europe as well, famously at the d-day celebrations. so it's kind of difficult to see what will happen olivia sullivan. thank you so much. thank you so that's politics on this side that you've antic, on the other u.s. >> president, joe biden's still trying to control the fallout from his disastrous debate against donald trump. turns out key, maybe it may be as simple as getting more sleep because mr. biden, observe the fourth of july holiday with vice president kamala harris at the white house on thursday, briefly address speculation. they might exit the race after someone in the crowd appeared to offer him support. i've learned you got me, man i'm not going anywhere all right. cnn's priscilla alvarez has more white house officials and president biden himself or stumbling on damage control. and a week after that poor debate performance we've got to be hones

we need to see more economic realism from david miliband . realism from david miliband. >> there are ut he david. >> i don't know. but he did that deliberately so people would play deliberately so people would play it and people want it to be bad and they use social media in that way. so we're the muppets in this because we've played it. >> so you're saying ed miliband is the family of politics? >> i think this is what's going to happen. they know how to manipulate the media. they know it looks ridiculous, which is why he comes out on that sort of bafis why he comes out on that sort of basis and he's out there and just stop oil. have one, haven't they? you'll work on this sort of basis. so all that stuff and all the stuff that we've complained about, they've now won. >> but i think, i think some of the idealism that's present in, in our politicians and ngos that drive the agenda is a bit misplaced because, you know , misplaced because, you know, we've seen the electric cars are now falling out of favour with people, particularly as they're now no longer, you no longer get, you know, br

the labour did in 2010, where you ended up with the miliband brother fight, where, you know, david milibandetter politician. but ed miliband, that was awful. >> imagine knifing your brother and then you're like, oh, this is the guy i want to lead the country. the brother knife. >> i genuinely believe david miliband, by the way, was a much better politician and would have been a strong leader in the labour party to go into exile, taken by a obviously knifed in the back by his own brother that they. i'm sure i'm sure that hasn't caused a problem at christmas or anything like that. but what it does do is it creates this division straight away, because there will be a lot of divisiveness attached to the tory race, because there is a split in the tories, there are people who think we should rush towards that. they should rush towards that. they should rush towards the centre ground , not towards the centre ground, not we should rush towards the centre ground. and others think that maybe they need to lean towards the right because, of what's going to be happening with labour. >> okay. >> okay. >>

there's all this talk of david miliband being appointed us ambassador, after the election.rump victory there. i mean, that's not going to work for us, is it? >> i personally very much doubt if david would want to take that particular job. if david would want to take that particularjob. he might . and particularjob. he might. and he's very, very talented guy and he's very, very talented guy and he's served a very high level of foreign affairs. i would assume that the david lammy and the foreign office will want to send a top notch technical diplomat, because handling trump requires top notch technical diplomacy. so but there might be a role or i don't know, all this is endless thumb sucking. what keir starmer has done, it seems to me, is he created his team over the last 4 or 5 years. he stuck with them. the only, i think, exciting new appointment for me is james timpson, the guy who runs the yes, fascinating appointment. he has worked in his family and his father have worked on rehabilitating prisoners. now all their lives . prisoners. now all their lives. so having him in

i think would somebody like david miliband go down?l, on the other side i'm not sure he's somebody that's, you know, not really said anything political in the sense of putting down trump in recent years or anything like that, i think emily thornberry not being there is also probably a positive, but i think it depends on the people who were around the politicians in the room that will make these conversations work, or being well on both sides. >> well, it matters and it matters, folks, because right at the heart of this, as of course, our membership of nato and without the americans, nato, frankly , is nothing. and i've frankly, is nothing. and i've always seen us as being a very important bridge between america and the rest of europe. now, today, john healey , defence today, john healey, defence secretary, has announced a big labour review . so where we go labour review. so where we go with this, whether nato's our priority or whether perhaps we're going to join a european defence union, all of these things matter hugely. and i felt th

e"ic what about david miliband, not david cameron who lectures us. surprise at all. john healy _ healy defence secretary. no surprise at all. john healy had _ healy defence secretary. no surprise at all. john healy had a _ healy defence secretary. no surprise at all. john healy had a close - at all. john healy had a close relationship with david lammy, they recently— relationship with david lammy, they recently went to ukraine together. they recently had a picture at crack of airport _ they recently had a picture at crack of airport having taken the train from _ of airport having taken the train from kyiv. — of airport having taken the train from kyiv, and the joke was that i don't _ from kyiv, and the joke was that i don't think— from kyiv, and the joke was that i don't think you guys will be taking whiz air— don't think you guys will be taking whiz air much longer! yvette cooper does not _ whiz air much longer! yvette cooper does not have the warmest relationship with keir starmer but he rates _ relationship with keir starmer but he rates her. it w

>> also the same way that ed miliband beat out his very popular brother david miliband. guess why? cause the unions were in. >> that's another thing as well. it's worth noting keeping an eye on ed miliband wants all the money in the world to do what he wants to do. we've got a clip of him later on in the show. by the way. nugget himself on the ukulele. they certainly want all the money we've got him and he wants all the money. okay. and then and then we've got as well. you know, a couple of other people knocking about there in the labour party. we've got a vote on the two child benefits cap that is being brought essentially against the labour party by itself. and that's going to happen in the next couple of weeks. it is. it's exciting stuff. >> can i just say what we had? >> can i just say what we had? >> can i just say that this could actually be their strategy behind closed doors? the whole good cop bad cop thing. the unions need some to feel like they've got someone on the inside advocating for them. and angela, no one's buying it. no one's buying it. angela rayner was an excelle

who have experience and there is experience in the cabinet when you look at yvette cooper, ed miliband and davidn, he wants to bring in some people who have been around the block, as it were. find people who have been around the block, as it were.— people who have been around the block, as it were. and another thing we have learnt _ block, as it were. and another thing we have learnt tonight, _ block, as it were. and another thing we have learnt tonight, this - we have learnt tonight, this government is taking further measures to bring an end to the rwanda asylum programme. yes. measures to bring an end to the rwanda asylum programme. yes, i think we know— rwanda asylum programme. yes, i think we know is _ rwanda asylum programme. yes, i think we know is that _ rwanda asylum programme. yes, i think we know is that there - rwanda asylum programme. yes, i think we know is that there are - rwanda asylum programme. yes, i think we know is that there are a i think we know is that there are a couple of people who are still in detention pending removal to rwanda under the old government's regime and we

david miliband and peter mandelson.e's been a lot of talk about donald trump being a nonconformist. you might want to go a different route. and there assert another name has been mentioned, nigel farage. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i think that, you know, if you look at the key figures in the, in the labour establishment, socialists really, they're not going to get on with donald trump and on so many positions this labour government is completely at odds, actually with where trump, would be. and if you look for at example, the labour party's net zero agenda, if you look at the statements they've made with regard to israel and gaza , regard to israel and gaza, labour will likely, support the recognition of palestinian state. david lammy has supported the icc prosecution of benjamin netanyahu. and so there are big differences, ahead . and i can differences, ahead. and i can see a lot of tension between washington and london ahead . if washington and london ahead. if you have a labour government and, and a new republican, preside

some experience and there is experience in the cabinet when you look at yvette cooper and ed miliband and davidin who have been around the block, as it were. the other thing _ around the block, as it were. the other thing we — around the block, as it were. the other thing we have learned tonight is that this new government is taking further measures to bring an end to the rwanda asylum programme. i think what we know is that there are a couple of people who are still in detention, pending removal to rwanda under the old government's regime. we understand from home office sources the those two people 0ffice sources the those two people are going to be bailed in the coming days. there were a group of people just over 100 that were built before the election, but there were still two people in detention that will be bailed. so he is unpacking that process, the rwanda process that we note labour promise to do, regular lysing the position of people who were going to be part of that programme and putting through the standard asylum and removal process that existed before the rwanda idea came along. se

ed miliband, david lammy, as you mentioned.when it was a shadow cabinet. thank you very much, christopher. we'll come back to you very shortly indeed, i'm sure. but with us in the studio is alastair stewart and jonathan lewis. alastair, it's a big day, of course, for sir keir starmer, a big day for the country finding out who is going to be making our laws. >> yes. >> yes. >> not so much making our laws as running our departments. i think that's the point. we've that we've now moved on to now and it does matter because these are really important jobs in terms of administering those laws and those policies. and so if you want to do something radical, like in the energy world with a great british energy and so on, or you're trying to address immigration, the home office certainly knows, as john reid famously said, a government department not fit for purpose and a number of tory home secretaries have found that as well. so these men and women yvette cooper, i think, is confirmed still as getting the home office is a very competent

meanwhile, david lammy is foreign secretary and ed miliband becomes energy secretary — a similar roleone he held at the end of the last labour government in 2010. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley is in downing street and joins us now. good morning to you, nick. injust a few hours�* time that group, the cabinet, will be brought together for the first time. the? cabinet, will be brought together for the first time.— for the first time. they will indeed, charlie. _ for the first time. they will indeed, charlie. later - for the first time. they will indeed, charlie. later this| for the first time. they will - indeed, charlie. later this morning. indeed, charlie. laterthis morning. it's indeed, charlie. laterthis morning. it�*s pretty remarkable how quickly things change in british politics, isn�*t it? things change in british politics, isn't it? it things change in british politics, isn�*t it? it was just yesterday rishi sunak was coming back you design off for the last time and already as dumb as you get to work hitting the phones to those international leaders, drawing up the le

think one of the there's only two bad appointments that have really upset me and one is ed miliband and one is davidand you couldn't get a worse trump. >> you actually vice president has said worse about trump than david lammy. okay, donald, you actually say he's got a good outlook on on foreign policy. there is a huge issue in the world. we have a division between the dictatorship class and the liberal democracies. and trump is clearly again and again says he's on the dictatorship side against liberal democracy. now, what he said is, george is better than war. war >> the dichotomy that you created highly amusing people like keir starmer, he's will be very dictatorial. he would have locked us down even more strongly in terms of covid. that's dictatorial. i mean, he he removed your draw seven. that isn't realistic. >> he removed the whip from seven seven of his mps just for simply disagreeing or not going with what he wanted. >> prime minister, i'm not a labour supporter and that's quite tough. any prime minister who has his mps voting against the king's speech has to have some discipline, as i'm sur

david lammy. it's a very inexperienced cabinet. ed miliband that's got any ministerial experience , got any ministerial experience, any senior. sorry, yvette coopen any senior. sorry, yvette cooper, but yeah, you're right. so yvette and ed were in the last labour government, but you're going back a very long time. the rest of them have never had ministerial responsibilities before. so. >> but say that about any of the tory cabinet we've had over the past 14 years. >> yeah, but it's these jobs you can't prepare for. you know, to be prime minister. no one is experienced for that job when they first get it. and it's just totally different. >> yeah. and it just makes it i mean, it's a very difficult time to be taking on. >> can we spin ahead before we run out of time again? kevin, you've been looking at the telegraph front page about nigel farage, and he's somebody we haven't mentioned for a while yet. he's promised to change politics forever. how is he going to do it with only five mps? yeah, that's the problem, isn't it? >> and he, unsurprisingl

under ed miliband, there have been suggestions that he'd been sidelined in the campaign, along with david fact, all those people who we thought had been sidelined hadnt thought had been sidelined hadn't been and they are still they are given the jobs they were working so hard on when they were in the shadow cabinet and chris hope that appointment that's going to raise a few eyebrows, because we've heard a lot about the cost of net zero, the cost of individual taxpayers to individual households. >> there are lots of questions about this £28 billion figure. and then it was darren jones who was caught on audio. we covered that last week. he said no. in actual fact, it's going to be hundreds of billions of pounds required to hit labour's net zero targets. are we seeing a true glimpse now of the direction of travel? as you said, ed miliband was pretty quiet on the campaign trail. now we're seeing the real deal. >> well, we'll wait and see. >> well, we'll wait and see. >> i mean, all this was it wasn't a manifesto on darren jones. of course he was. he was in his defence. he was saying that was
