thank you, ed vaizey. your watching afternoon live from bbc news. come on, i want everyone out. everyone off this road now, come on. i think this is the worst year we've had since the riots in 2001. last year was bad. itjust seems to have gone up a notch this year. last night, bonfire night in the harehills area of leeds exploded into disorder. fireworks and bricks were thrown by groups of young people in pitch battles with police. i quickly realised, as did all of the street team, that it was just too dangerous to be around, we had to get out of here. i was actually attacked with bricks and clubs were pulled and i've seen axes pulled within feet of me last night, just here. just here, i was stood right here. so i ran for my life and that corner, as fireworks were hitting me, i got hit on the back of the leg. police say they were called to banstead park after a bonfire was lit there. over the next few hours, things escalated — missiles were thrown, bins were set on fire and passing cars were attacked. burning bins and fire and smashing people's cars

ed vaizey, what do you think the focus group might suggest are your party's weaknesses?e a clear position on brexit, but the risk for the conservative party is that it moves too far from the ce ntre is that it moves too far from the centre ground. sol is that it moves too far from the centre ground. so i will be interested to know what your focus group thinks. although i think we will win the election, i think political parties win from the ce ntre political parties win from the centre ground. and i worry that maybe people think we have attacked too far to the right. and when you have a former conservative justice minister on the radio this morning saying not to vote for boris johnson, that worries you? it wasn't helpful, but we have had a former labour minister saying not to vote for labour as well. things are very much up in the air. it will probably still come down to a straight labour—tory fight. people expect everything to be in flux and thrown up everything to be in flux and thrown up in the air, but i think politics might be slightly more normal in terms of the re

go to our green room and talk to labour's lucy powell and ed va izey to labour's lucy powell and ed vaizeyp you going. your immediate gut reaction to what you have heard? i wasn't surprised that the nhs came across as the biggest issue and that brexit was also in the mix. there is a connection between the two. from a lib dem perspective, wrecks it is something that damages us and means there is less tax available to pay for public services and that impacts on the nhs. quite a few didn't know whojo on the nhs. quite a few didn't know who jo swinson on the nhs. quite a few didn't know whojo swinson was. that must be worrying. she is the newest leader out of the three, and she has work to do during the campaign. part of the general election campaign will help to boost her profile. these are some live pictures of her in a boxing ring. remind me never to do that photo up. we need people to know what the lib dems stand for. it is not just about stopping know what the lib dems stand for. it is notjust about stopping brexit, but other things like ensuring that mental health services matched physic
