these are the kind of policies that ed miliband's labour and of policies that ed miliband's labourandjeremys labour and jeremy corbyn's labour would be quite keen on having. she is trying to steal the centre ground and bringing in some fairly socialist policies. it'll be interesting to how that plays with the good people of burgess hill and if they believe this is a centre ground conservative party warm weather she is quite a hard right wing conservative party. facebook must pay to police the internet. social media firms may have two paper the cost of policing digital crimes. i could end up being quite expensive. it will be almost impossible to do, as well. the telegraph says that a similar arrangement is in place for football clubs, when there is certain policing on match days, those foot ball policing on match days, those football clubs contribute to that. that is because it is a known fact that match will cause this amount of trouble and you need that blue line around it to make sure things stay under control. you can't do that online because you can't predict who will do what to whom, y

there's a suggestion they are considering taxes on highly expensive homes, the mansion tax, ed miliband'sl possibly be in the conservative ma nifesto. possibly be in the conservative manifesto. a lot of these things are almost labour policies. i'm not quite sure that labour would feel quite sure that labour would feel quite that way but you talk to ed miliband and the team around him at the moment and they feel vindicated all the stuff the last election was fought on being a risk to the nation's wealth is now being adopted in part by carizza made's team. the bit to me buried in this is the triple lock pensions, which has been a tory policy for so long, theresa may has basically signalled that would be in the tory manifesto this time round but labour is going to fight that as a key pledge. labour fight that as a,key41ledge.,,labour , ,, will be the party q more fill 125 fine iii; 5:2125 is;::§ ,, , ,, , . ,, , a topsy—turvy rate. it's a topsy—turvy world. there's one fascinating bit in here that people might find interesting, internal tory figures have theresa may polling ahead of her party

polly billington was special advisor to ed miliband, because they make better graphics, but there wasnot popular with theresa may, looked at what just about managing looked like, firstly there was not enough of them and secondly they looked too poor to switch to voting tory anyway. out is a slightly broader... a broader term, includes more people and does go further up the income scale. big question, is it useful to focus on this group because we are talking about one third of families. i think it is worth asking who has politics been about since the times of mrs thatcher? i would argue predominantly for the most part it has only been about the top 10% and the bottom 10%. and arguably all policy and politics has really been in the interests of the top 10% and the concern for the bottom 10% is done so to justify that settlement. so i think the concern with something else is more spoken to before, things like brexit, trump, going beyond button or become explainable. what is clear is that we have significant groups in this country who feel they are being ignored so it is not wrong to try

if you go back to the 2015 election for example, we know ed miliband touched a chord with things like his policies on maps, but when it came to the crunch he was a long way behind david cameron on leader image questions. how much of an advantage is it being the incumbent reminisced? it is an advantage and it gives you much more opportunity to demonstrate attributes by being premised. but it is not the only thing. there are examples of david cameron beating gordon brown, tony blair beating john major. but they had advantages on some key questions around capability and judgment. briefly, how important will brexit bns? it will be one of the most important issues. the public say it is the most important but not the only one. the economy and education will also play a part. let's take a look at the weather now. good evening. we had some beautiful sunshine across the north east. the east coast of scotland have the highest temperature. it was cloudy in staffordshire but relatively bright. we had some showers from the lumpy clouds moving southwards and this line of cloud across all that scotl

ed miliband and david cameron both young political cos who rose through the ranks quickly inside theirthey had that in common, if you like. theresa may and jbg wrbg are chalk and cheese. we had the long time rebel, now the leader and the reverent‘s daughter who worked her way up over the years. different in style, totally different in political characters, too. also, the context is completely different. going into the last general election, all the way through the two main parties, labour and tory, were chasing each other day by day for the position to be ahead in the polls. it looked like there was almost nothing in it. too close to call. well, in the end, of course, there was a narrow tory majority. we go into this general election in a completely different set of circumstances. polls only give us a flavour, but a very, very strong flavour that the tories enter this race at least with the prospect ofa this race at least with the prospect of a very significant victory, but who knows, 50 days we will have the a nswe i’s who knows, 50 days we will have the answers then. who knows. we wi

thanks to ed miliband. supposedly that put america off doing their own strikes in response to this.e unusual people are supporting trump and what he has done because he has reinforced a red line which they say 0bama and cameron and miller band and everyone, it should have done. it has taken bizarrely and america first, isolationist, pro—russian american president — perceived to be pro—russian— to actually go out and do it. the daily mirror takes it one step further, suggesting trump is 110w step further, suggesting trump is now one step from war. warning that the world is in fear. arguably bevan, there are many proxy wars going on already, notjust in syria but in iran. there are. -- but in iraq. very dramatic language. trump himself has been very categorical in his comments on what this represented as an atrocity. the idea that we are one step behind war, it seems that a russian war strip in the black sea has been diverted to the black sea has been diverted to the method. —— warship. there is a bit of... some headlines are getting ahead of the fax. this is no extra regulation —— esc

he probably just needs to not fall over in order to exceed them, so he might do 0k, but in 2015 ed milibandn fact trip over himself getting off the stage, so maybe jeremy corbyn wouldn't achieve that level accomplishment. but tim farron would probably want to just get out? ps champing at the bit and wants to be heard, he has a distinctive position, basically a single issue election about brexit, the labour party is trying to turn it into an nhs election simply because they don't really have an opinion on brexit, they are totally divided. for once this is a single issue election on an issue where the liberal democrats have a distinctive and coherent point of view to put forward , and coherent point of view to put forward, and they are the only ones that you can turn to if you want to halt or soften exit. so being able to put that forward in a debate would benefit tim farron. it is a pleasure to see you, thank you. well, the snap election may see the political landscape change but will younger voters have a big say on the outcome? some weren't eligible to vote in either the 2015 general elect

they probably copy and paste large chunks of ed miliband's ma nifesto. paste large chunks of ed miliband'satically reselect that, in terms of manifestos, i think the publication may be a little way off, maybe a week or two weeks away. in terms of campaign buses, my impression is that the reason of may, although she did the interview this morning, she has done other interviews, one with the sun, she wa nts to interviews, one with the sun, she wants to play this as a tightly controlled election. she likes to have control of our events, i don't think this will be a free wheeling come along and ask me any questions, campaign. ithink come along and ask me any questions, campaign. i think it is more likely to be tightly restricted because she is in pole position and does not feel she has to do that. this place will pack up on may the 3rd, so we have one more prime minister's questions before parliament is dissolved. last question, but in terms of prime minister's questions, looking at the labour benches, the biggest cheer was not forjeremy corbyn but for yvette cooper. the obvious message for ma

paste a lot of ed miliband's old manifesto because there plea isn't time.specifics and more about, if i can put it this way, mood and tone. he's always been an outsider i suppose in westminster terms, he's never really lead anything, never aspired to be a leader, a he finds himself in this position, and working now to try to play the role of a conventional leader, it would seem odd and false. soi leader, it would seem odd and false. so i think his people think that it's easierfor him just so i think his people think that it's easier for him just to be authenticjeremy corbyn. the risk, of course, is that they've judged it wrongly, that actually, the world has not changed, and that politics is still won in the centre ground, you have to reassure your opponents and appeal to middle england, middle britain. and if team corbyn have called this wrong, then date could be infora called this wrong, then date could be in for a very, very difficult election indeed. the contrast, though, will be with the theresa may side, who seem to be going for the exact opposite. mr

the move is similar to a proposal made by labor party leader ed miliband before the 2016 election. es in u.k. energy suppliers are down sharply this morning. meanwhile, miliband's successor, jeremy corbyn, has set out his vision if he becomes prime minister. corbyn: i want to see a very different country. withangry, if not fed up, a country in which a million people cannot on a living wage, do not know their wage from one week to another. who aree people apparently secure in middle income jobs, whose children cannot get homes, can i get housing, and cannot get on the career ladder because they are so saddled with student debt. nejra: global list on a four hours a day powered by more than 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i am nejra cehic. this is bloomberg. mark: treasury secretary steve mnuchin has called the imf outlook for the u.s. economy a little conservative. he repeated the trump administration goal of getting to 3% growth. he spoke in a conversation with christine lagarde during the spring meetings in washington. steve: i think the u.s. economy is wel

the tories criticised it when ed miliband came up with it, and other people piled in and said it is economicermarket, or in a restaurant, no starter ca n supermarket, or in a restaurant, no starter can cost more than £5 question mark i worked in a country where this kind of stuff went on, called the soviet union, where prices were controlled. i am exaggerating, but it seems odd. we have a privatised energy system, so just make sure there is proper competition. how does it look from your perspective on as a business journalist? i agree. it is hard to understand how you can make this a feasible, working policy. the idea would be theoretically you would promote competition and make it easy for customers to switch so naturally companies would only be able to offer lower prices. unfortunately, this does not seem to have been the case in britain. it is pretty easy to switch. it is basically because we are too lazy. is that true?|j we are too lazy. is that true?” don't know, but it is annoying. you go to don't know, but it is annoying. you gotoa don't know, but it is annoying. you go to a different

didn't ed miliband, is that?nergy suppliers to put customers on the cheapest tariff, and that the time, the conservatives criticised the idea. so now this idea that theresa may might potentially put this cap oi’ may might potentially put this cap or the standard tariff, it suggests she is going down that road. the seen that before, political parties taking on the ideas of other political parties. what it speaks to issue pocket, and parties coming up with ideas that will appeal to the voters. we'll hear from the ukip metered later about his integration agenda. this is ukip kind of going backwards. if you remember the 2010 election, they had the burqa band back then. they got rid of it for 2015, they had a different focus, about the referendum and leaving europe. those things are happening. there has been this question about whether or not ukip have lost their way. people have said a lot of ukip voters are thinking of switching to the conservatives. so i think that is what this is about. so not only eight burqa ban

share such views, we also heard from the shadow brexit secretary keir starmer and the former leader ed milibandability of the labour party to be a credible vehicle to tackle prejudice and hate. in all of its forms. kelly gets done is unrepentant, we know he is considering appealing against the decision. i should say some in the jewish community have backed ken livingstone and say it is a matter of freedom of speech was not so far we have not heard anything from jeremy corbyn, apart from that official line from the labour party. i think there are fingers pointing this morning towards jeremy i think there are fingers pointing this morning towardsjeremy corbyn that they want a strong response from him. he has always said the labour party has no place for anti—semitism but a strong response i think is required from him and a suggestion we be that more needs to be done in the party to root out anti—semitism. theresa may says ministers will take into account the encouragement given by past governments for drivers to buy diesel cars. her comments come as more details emerge about plans to tackle the e

and the last time they were really hit by the coalition of chaos was when labor was led by ed miliband that works, it might not works against the liberal democrats. voter,o you see, as a that tories are 20 percentage points ahead, how does that affect your voting psyche and how might that impact the election? >> another thing we have never had. we have often had parties led by people who people didn't think much of. but i've never heard of this -- in public -- i do not think he should be prime minister. can vote for me and i will be a good labor mp standing up for you and i will never make jeremy corbyn prime minister. and that is a massive unknown. will that work? the instinct is that most voters are not paying much attention. another possibility is that they will spend the next six weeks seeing jeremy corbyn, hearing this timee entering where we have to be careful of what they say. many stranger things than that have happened in the last three years and elections. so, that is what happened with him. mark: we will talk about that in the next six weeks. great to see you. rob hutton, gr

i did not look for a seat at the last election and i did not ask for ed miliband or corbyn for a seatyn and apparently you have been damaging on the doorstep so you are damaging jeremy corbyn. i am not damaging, when i was suspended, i could not walk down the street for hundreds saying... the first person said, i am a jewish woman, do they not read the history? the problem is if you look at the chairman of the board of britishjews giving evidence to the house of commons, he said for ken livingstone to say hitler was a zionist was deeply offensive. there was a series of lies and smears where i said hitler was a zionist, i would notjust apologise, it would be a sign of dementia. he loathed and feared jews but he did a deal with the zionists. if they had not moved to palestine, they would have died in the gas chambers with us. would this appear to be the end of the matter or not? we are meant to be launching labour's campaign for local elections today and instead of talking about the big issues, we are talking about ken's bizarre fascination with the 1930s and it is damaging the labour p

in 2015 you needed to contrast cameron with ed miliband.gth. you do not take too many questions and have too many interviews and ride the poll lead all the way through to the election. what a wonderful democracy! a very cynical view that theresa may is taking. i do not need to let the public see me debate my rivals. every other country in the world pretty much as tv debates. the truth is, she is not that good in those sorts of situations, from what we have seen of theresa may. where she is very goodisin of theresa may. where she is very good is in front of a podium making big speeches. take the autocue away and she does not always do that well. i am not saying thatjeremy corbyn will be great. how do we know u nless we corbyn will be great. how do we know unless we shove him in front of a camera? nothing in our constitution says we will have these debates. we said at the beginning we did not expect her to do this because shou wood said she would not. that is pa rt of wood said she would not. that is part of her personality. she does somethin

chakrabarti says i'm horrified by ken livingstone's lack of contrition, the former labour leader ed milibandt recall in the last 11 months a jewish person coming up to me and saying, "what you said offended me." ."s what caused offence, if anyone has been offended i apologise on behalf of those labour mps that lied in their tweets and their posts on their website. they caused a lot of offence, but they did it deliberately to undermine jeremy and some conspiracy they were owists are saying the reason that the right—wing labour party machine put off the hearing for 11 months so it coincided with the launch of labour's campaign for local government was to damage the party again. it is odd to think it has taken 11 months for the hearing to ta ke taken 11 months for the hearing to take place. you were saying you have had support from people in thejewish community but this afternoon we have heard from a rabbi who said she hopesjews will leave the labour party unless ken livingstone is kicked out.|j wish you could get her on to a debate with me because i would like to ask her, did the zionists sign

this is similar to a proposal made by ed miliband before the 2015 election.ives are already more than 20% ahead of labour in polls. u.k. consumer confidence weakens in the first quarter. to a study from deloitte. london house prices posted their largest annual drop in almost eight years in april as buyers shun the capital central areas. global news 24 hours a day powered by more than 2600 journalists and analysts. find more stories on the bloomberg. we are closing at the market session for monday in japan. pretty risk on across most asian markets. nikkei up by 1.4%. check out the csi 300, down by 1%.st -- over leverage trading weighing on chinese equities. stocks down the most since december and holding at three-month lows. we have a look at particular stocks we are watching. one of the companies on the csi 300, a company awarded conservation, almost 9%. that is similar to other losses on the index.elsewhere in japan, a run-up coming through from a subsidiary of panasonic. they are altering the terms of the full takeover of the company, at the most since 2011

ed miliband, the former labour leader, hasn't been here since his defeat in 2015. to "get over it". and we will also have a playwright talking about his west end play. thanks very much. sounds like a good show. a lot to fit in! we're here on the bbc news channel until 9am this morning, and coming up in the next hour: hold tight if you've not planned your summer holiday yet. the travel show team will be here with a look back on some of their globetrotting highlights of the year. angel is one of more than 200 horses killed in road traffic accidents since 2010. it is one year since we reported on a campaign to get drivers to slow down around writers, but astonishingly the number of incidents have gone up. we will speak to angel's on later. and johanna konta's win, more details on that later. this is where we leave viewers on bbc one. we will continue on the bbc news channel. good morning. time for a look at the newspapers. what's caught your eye this morning? nice to see you and good morning. let's drop straight inside. there's a lot to get through and you've been pic

ed miliband, the former labour leader, has also made his comments clear.d hate in all its forms. there are some in thejewish community who have backed ken livingstone, saying it is an issue of freedom of expression. for ken livingstone‘s part, he remains unrepentant and is considering challenging the outcome of the ruling. the story seems to be developing our buy our with more people speaking. any further comment in the last couple of hours? it is an issue that has gone on since this time last year. part of the issue is the fact that ken livingstone has refused to apologise. we‘ve just had that ken livingstone has refused to apologise. we‘vejust had in that ken livingstone has refused to apologise. we‘ve just had in the past have an hour from the shadow attorney general who said that it is theissue attorney general who said that it is the issue of ken livingstone being unrepentant and refusing to apologise. saying, she is horrified and there could be grounds for further investigation by the party. the official line from labour is that they have acknowledge

in the sunday times, we will not focus on the slightly disturbing series of pictures of ed miliband, climate change. conversational tone around addressing climate changelj conversational tone around addressing climate change. i picked that out, you have got a brexit lull at the moment because parliament is not sitting and we have had so much of it over the last few weeks, but that really caught my eye because that really caught my eye because thatis that really caught my eye because that is around a policy around climate change and i think what we will see over coming months is an increasing move towards a domestic policy discussion around brexit, what does it mean internally and for me, i will be really keen that children will be coming out of that really quite well. there is a sense that while all of this goes on, the rest of the country does not get put on hold for two or three years. we need to focus internally and ensure that communities get the support they need. the headline i suppose says it all, this is in the mail on sunday talking about swapping lamb for roast goat this ea

it is for her to lose and that will translate into votes, as it did for nick clegg in 2010 and ed milibandvid cameron did not. theresa may is probably in the same position. what i think they should do is take part, perhaps not only one on one faces or with the public, but a professional journalist grilling them each. i think that would suit are a lot more thanjeremy think that would suit are a lot more than jeremy corbyn. think that would suit are a lot more thanjeremy corbyn. without bias, whenjeremy thanjeremy corbyn. without bias, when jeremy corbyn thanjeremy corbyn. without bias, whenjeremy corbyn has tried to talk about policy and so on with a professional politicaljournalist, he is often found the policy unravels to be kind. theresa may is perhaps stronger. i would go for that format is out with them but we will have to wait and see. brexit at the heart of this campaign so far. she has been looking at migration, looking at the issue of brexit. jeremy corbyn doesn‘t mention it at all and is going on traditional labour policies. the first thing is that it labour policies. the first th

know the last ones were a bit deluded when there was plaid cymru, the snp and a load of women and ed milibandy were more one—on—one because somebody‘s regional parties do not apply to every voter. vince cable, were about to have local elections, traditionally a good time for the liberal democrats. are you hoping there will be a momentum to ta ke hoping there will be a momentum to take advantage of? i think there already is, with one quite a lot of local by—elections in the past six months to a year. general elections are always different. you asked about local elections and we have the potential to do very well bear. i have been to some of these areas and we are winning on the ground. i have been to some of these areas and we are winning on the groundlj spoke to nick clegg earlier, he is going to try for his old seat. do you sense a gathering of the clan? some of my old colleagues from the coalition government and indeed before, we care. this is a big election, with big issues and were not going to run away. and james, there is more to this than brexit, clearly. what is the message on the doo

the reason i ask because the then leader of labour, ed miliband, when he said he was going to do somethingunder the conservatives that we will be able to deliver a reasonable power bill and we will ensure that power bill and we will ensure that power remains. you worbed for margaret thatcher and you worked for theresa may. what are the differences? i didn't work for margaret thatcher. i knew margaret thatcher. sorry, i should have said that. yeah. yeah, i knew her. it many ways theresa may reminds quite a bit. i have known theresa for 20 odd years and there is more than a passing resemblance but theresa is her own person and just because she isa her own person and just because she is a female prime minister perhaps it isn't that healthy to continually compare her to margaret thatcher who was by any definition a one off. right, thank you very much. thank you for talking to us eric pickles. and he is standing down. let's get the latest weather update with carol. this morning, we have seen some rain and snow. you can see that we have snow falling in aberdeenshire. we have snow showers across

if you look at the last general election, under ed miliband, that was a terrible result for labour.t. a big task forjeremy corbyn. thank you very much. just hearing from paul nuttall from ukip on twitter. every vote will be reminded to the prime minister that the british people wa nt minister that the british people want a minister that the british people wa nt a clea n minister that the british people want a clean brexit with restored borders. we are also hearing from kezia dugdale. this country faces a significant and historic choice as we approach the uk leaving the eu will stop at the last election in 2015, we said it will be a clear choice between a destructive tory party and a better future with labour. at this election the choice will be clear. the tory party intent on hard and damaging brexit or a labour party that will oppose a second independence referendum and fight for a better future for everyone. let's go to our scotland correspondent. is there any word yet from nicola sturgeon? nicola sturgeon watched the prime minister's statement at her official residence in edinbur

it is in contrast to the last election where ed miliband's position was perfectly clear the contraste last year le saux and watched the ruse of may and jeremy corbyn across the dispatch box, you would see that she is not scared of debate with him, and! she is not scared of debate with him, and i am a biased spectator, but almost any unbiased spectator would agree that she is better at the baiting than he is, just technically. but that is not the issue, how do you get your message across west, and on that basis she and others were planned their election campaigns. thorsten, you will be well aware of these figures andi will be well aware of these figures and i am sure the labour party is, aboutjeremy and i am sure the labour party is, about jeremy corbyn's personal polling, which at the moment is pretty desperate in relation to theresa may, who would make a better prime minister. how does he get around that issue, does he just ignore the polls? that seems to be the principle that they argue. you have lots of politicians and pollsters who tell you what jeremy corbyn —— pollsters who tel

what then of those voters who backed ed miliband and then voted remain?d of last year, labour was doing better with them, holding onto 64% of those voters. remember, though, that twice as many of labour's 2015 supporters backed remain as leave. so while labour lost a larger share of its leave voters, overall it has lost more labour remainers. so it is worth paying attention to them. especially the 10% of labour remainers who last year had deserted labour for the liberal democrats. the issue here isn't so much that the lib dems will take seats off labour. this shift would only flip cambridge. but that movement would be very significant in other races. on its own it would be enough to move 13 labour seats to the tories. jeremy corbyn faces a uniquely difficult challenge, holding his party together but remember even in the brexit friendly north, losing remainers will hurt all. chris cook with some of the political angle. with me now is paul blomfield, shadow minister for brexit. i'm saying i think that what we got today is clarity that you would like us to b

the economic chaos of ed miliband. muddleheaded mugwump. he'll do anything to get into power.ber this? for the past 17 years i have been working on and dreaming of a bridge that will cross london in complete silence. a bridge with a garden on it. has the garden bridge finally fallen down? the project with serious financial issues exposed by this programme has now lost public funding. what‘s the final bill? "i‘m a nationalist and a globalist", president trump declared yesterday — reminding us of one thing above all else. trump is whatever he decides to be, based — some say — on the very last thought he‘s had. a chameleon who picks up the colour beneath him, endlessly adaptable, in thought and tongue. as he approaches his 100th day in office, he candidly admits the job was bigger, harder than he thought. he describes tonight the potentialfor a "major, major conflict with north korea“'. and, it seems now, no—one is even surprised. tonight we look back at the beginning of the trump presidency — militarism, the diplomacy, the executive orders and of course the tweets — and ask if h
