in fairness to george osborne that is the point he was trying to make.? we have tried to meet demand but we have created demand and become this magnet which has pulled more people into the south rather than investing all over? london's population has grown rapidly in the last 20 years and is continuing to grow. london is the most productive region of the eu. it is a crucial part. when you say it has grown, it has maybe grown as a result of having all of this extra infrastructure, all of this connectivity. so there is an absolute imperative in britain that we put more money when you say it has grown, it has maybe grown as a result of having all of this extra infrastructure, all of this connectivity. so there is an absolute imperative in britain that we put more money into transport the north. but we need to get out of this mindset. we are the fifth richest country in the world. we don't have to do one scheme at a time in a queue, we have to invest on a scale other parts of the country have done. especially post—brexit. thank you very much. firms involved

services have tried, as george osborne did with david cameron's government, which is very demand, likeo buy scheme —— sparing. they are noticing the people that would ordinarily vote for them, 2022 or earlier, they are stuck in the kerry is rental situations and will not vote unless it is fixed. —— precarious. situations and will not vote unless it is fixed. -- precarious. the defence secretary was £20 million or he will bring theresa may down. do you believe this? —— wants. he will bring theresa may down. do you believe this? -- wants. do i believe he would risk bringing down the government at this point when the government at this point when the alternative isjeremy corbyn? absolutely not. the language from kevin williamson is incredibly strong. "i made her and can break her too." he says he has 20 tory mps with him to vote down a budget with no more money to defence. that is strong language and i think it is a leadership bid. jeremy hunt has gained popularity in respect by saying he had this extra £20 billion for the nhs. showing you can win domestic victories in cabinet, that is go

george osborne was one of the victims. really? when was that? a while ago.he la st a while ago. it's gone up in the last few years. one new lot do we need? been a number of stores in which police officers are driving cars, following people on mopeds, and they give up early on because the moped and the falling off are hitting themselves, or in one or two cases can actually dying. i think a lot on dangerous driving do not protect the police even if they skilled drivers. this is what i suspect the daily express has been campaigning for, a relaxation. a presumption that the police officers are doing the right thing. what some moped drivers have been doing is taking off their helmets, throwing them down to show the police that they are not protected if they knock them down. thank you for saying that. it's an issue of law and order and questions over policing. violent crime, as you said to them has been rising. by one estimate, moped incidents have gone up over 1000%. i'm not sure i believe that... police levels have been falling. it was response buffer that? ther

well, it is difficult, but we tend to see, we saw it when george osborne was chancellor, rolling outwe re carpet to china, despite what they were doing with steel flooding our owi'i were doing with steel flooding our own markets. so let's see of donald trump's approach has a different effect. staying with trump and kim, inside the times, there is this talk about what donald trump has now said, and he said this was sarcasm, i think he's said it halfway through this, but he is talking about showing people the love? well, it's true. i think for english—speaking natives it is perhaps hard to understand president trump's sarcasm and normal speech, so goodness knows what it is like if you are a foreign nation, trying to translate that. "show me the love". some of the language, you know, he isjust a box office president. but press co nfe re nce office president. but press conference this week was just out there. he was almost talking about his meeting and his summit with kim jong—un like it was, some of the actually likened it to a date. he was talking about how they had great chemistry. an

when george osborne was chancellor, they rolled out a plan they were going to do and pulled out at theminute. the government does not want to be in the business of owning part of a bank. the theory, the argument chancellor makes now is this is dampening economic stimulus. shares inant to buy rbs, they won't lend, this is a huge dampener. we will see if this share sale proves the theory correct but it does mark a watershed moment for the bank. matt: i want to point out this great chart here. it shows the royal bank of scotland breakeven price for the u.k. government. the theory ally is buy low, seell high. but not usually at a massive loss. will there be political backlash to this? ed: you have already seen the shadow chancelloiticize this ahead of the -- the head of the liberal democratic party has resized the sale but this is a capitulation. sayinvernment is aren't getting to break even any time in the near future and the gains by selling a stake -- even at a loss, outweigh holding and holding and holding. this may be far-fetched, but is there a brexit angle on this? is there a view i

what we are calling for, and george osborne mentioned this yesterday, this isn't just an issue for the does come, the problem with this issueis does come, the problem with this issue is that network rail were not managed properly. the north needs to managed properly. the north needs to manage its transport, having the keys to the car going forward. we have had too many people not making the right decisions for us in the north. it is time for us to make our own decisions and do the job ourselves. just one last question. heathrow will have a massive impact on people living below it, around it, and all the rest of it. what are your thoughts on that? well, of course it has already been announced that there will be compensation. that is the only way to approach it. there has to be a sensitive approach to people living nearby, whether it is the issue of noise, emissions, compulsory demolition of homes, this is all understandably very sensitive for those affected. we have to look at aviation and global access. it is simply essential to the uk as a 21st century economy. if we are really seriou
