he was not remotely impressed with gordon brown's comments. absolutely disgusting smear.e man who was part of the labour party who, through lord levy, were...shall we say, making a lot of big donors members of the house of lords. how dare...how dare he? most of our money has been raised by people giving £25 to become registered supporters and over 100,000, nearly 110,000, of them now have done that. and frankly, this smacks of, i think, jealousy because the other parties simply can't do this. that was nigel farage on the campaign trail, while he was out there, he was the latest politician to get hit by a milkshake. you do see that there's anything time from time on the campaign too. nigel farage was in newcastle when he had a milkshake thrown on him. he had just given a short speech, head of the european elections, of course, polling day on thursday. he had in this milkshake thrown on him. a spokesperson from northumberland police said a 32—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of common assault and remained in police custody. we have had a comment from downing stre

now, as you say, this is after gordon brown, the former labour prime minister, made a speech earlier the centre is on the fact that the brexit party has a paypal account from which it can receive some smaller donations and when i say smaller, i mean donations under £,500 because those types of donations don't actually have to be declared to the electoral commission. now, the brexit party is not the only party to have some sort of paypal accounts but gordon brown, the former labour prime minister, speaking earlier in glasgow said he was concerned by some of the brexit pa rty‘s was concerned by some of the brexit party's fundraising. democracy is undermined if we have undeclared, unreported, untraceable payments being made to the brexit party. if we have the potential for underhand and underthe we have the potential for underhand and under the counter payments being made. so i think one of the concerns that gordon brown is pointing to is some suggestion that perhaps this system of donating smaller amounts of money could open up the brexit party to receiving donations from foreign donor

the history books willjudge gordon brown far more kindly. theresa may doesn't think that.ng. the question is exactly when there will be a new prime minister because let's be honest, she steps aside and she doesn't necessarily stop being the prime minister, does she? the daily mail says, you will have a new prime minister by the summer, she says. they also point to a poll that borisjohnson is 25 points ahead of his nearest rival. it's interesting how the daily mail have been on a journey with theresa may. the iron lady at an earlier stage in the brexit negotiations, she is the woman who can do the job now, you've got to get out. they've changed their tune a lot. the timetable will be interesting. sometimes when political leaders say they are going to go, they end up carrying on and now the kind of holding place but the leadership contest carries on, david cameron did that for a bit, michael howard famously did that when david cameron came in. the question is, will she wa nts to came in. the question is, will she wants to go quickly and maybe david leading ten steps in as a

and many ways i would have to agree with gordon brown i don't like when when when the conflict in our under the struggle in ireland is. is someone came to the ward al-qaeda but i agree with one thing that they learned an awful lot about the torture act haven't. the activities of what on the north of ireland and they were able to continue to was a continuation of that of what happened then on afghanistan and iraq what are the irish government hiding it was just last week that we had the 45th anniversary of the double in one of the bombs where a 300 were injured and 33 dead initially reports were saying the ira very little reporting to this day anything about the dublin monaghan brooms why where is the overhead because using to release secret files on those bombs well the american t r k which is a professor case that was carried out in 2004 still not been released this was challenged by justice for the forgotten which is an advocacy group for the double i'm on board here in your film which feature in the film and they lost that court appeal against the government what do you think their

interesting that a lot of the talk right now is that she's just trying to hold on, to try to beat gordon brown'sg to get one marked off in the shortest prime minister stakes, that is what her premiership is trying to... to think it would come down to something like that. some people think about that in theirfinal days, it that. some people think about that in their final days, it becomes a very personal thing and people think about how they're going to be recorded in the annals of history. about how they're going to be recorded in the annals of historylj don't recorded in the annals of history.” don't think they'll be that type of comparison. what did you think lisa ( page? it's a comparison to margaret thatcher since becoming tory leader whether or not that's fair isa tory leader whether or not that's fair is a matter that is definitely up fair is a matter that is definitely up for debate, i just fair is a matter that is definitely up for debate, ijust want to know in this picture was taken, she refused me cabinet ministers tonight and there's some suggestions that she cited her audience with t

because she has to step down but she was determined to stay in office as prime minister longer than gordon brownwant to be the shortest serving prime minister of this century. she will stay, even if she steps down for a while, but because it will probably ta ke while, but because it will probably take four or six weeks to have a leadership election. bottom line is we are talking about another prime minister who has been broken on the issue of europe. and the issue still remains. deadline still looms in october. it is still october 31. so yesterday the french president saying he was worried about what he calls the infection of traditional brexit affecting the eu. he does not wa nt brexit affecting the eu. he does not want this to continue and continue. he wants a resolution, as do other european leaders, but remember them moments that was be spent on the leadership election is precious time not spent sorting out this issue. and use a 4— six weeks for a new leader to be voted in. the front runners? obviously boris? boris johnson is undoubtedly. you said in the constituency associations. they have

gordon brown made a speech about it earlier today. seems to be that they are taking lots of small contributions, which is absolutely fine, and i'm sure the vast majority of those are coming from people in this country, but because many of them have been made through paypal where you can make payments anonymously, there is no tracing where this money is coming from. and it is against the law to take foreign contributions for a political campaign. so the electoral commission, whose job it is to supervise this, going to visit the brexit party office tomorrow. theyis the brexit party office tomorrow. they is a routine visit. but the brexit party is the only party they are making a visit to during the european campaign. there was living there is a serious issue to address. other parties have had to take this very seriously. at other times there have been, it's about where the money comes from our people know that if it comes from abroad it needs to be returned. i don't see why the brexit party should be any different. do you think this wil

by their party and then who did not have a general straightaway, they did not fare very well, gordon brownts of the party but they don't think he will be able to unite the country. he is a very divisive character, a very marmite character. i think he should be putting himself out to the public as soon as possible, because unless you change the arithmetic of parliament, whoever takes over as prime minister is not going to be able to conjure up is not going to be able to conjure up some magic new deal. the eu have been very, very clear that they are not opening up the withdrawal bill and, as cindy says, there is some stuff that is very difficult like the border in northern ireland. there is not a solution to that. it isa there is not a solution to that. it is a very sensitive political issue, as we have seen. we will have to leave it there. thank you both very much indeed. you stood side by side and were very civilised. that was very super. thank you both very much indeed. ayes ha thank you both very much indeed. ayesha hazarika and cindy yu. let's look at the weather but before that, we hav

nt little bit of her trying to say, i want to make sure i am here just a little bit longer than gordon brownhing they do? they sent for a super head. a new head teacher, somebody who will take exactly the same classes of peoples, but change that school around. usually within three years to see schools go from being failing to doing quite well. with a bit of time and energy and the right leadership taking place it can make a big difference. running a country is no different. put the right team in place and that starts with the right leader, you will get different outcomes. finding that leader is the next big deal. i am sure that will occu py next big deal. i am sure that will occupy the party next big deal. i am sure that will in next big deal. i am sure that will occupy the party going into the summer. boris johnson has been open saying he will apply for that vacancy. saying he will apply for that vacancy. if he were to get it, the first thing he would have to do is go to the eu assay he needs another delay to brexit. i think it is really important for the party now to have a leader that act

"john adams was a realist. he did not believe all men were created equal. didn't believe in american exceptionalism." harold: he believed in english exceptionalism. that was one of the problems. i think he believed in a certain class system out of england, but i think he bought into the founding principles. with respect to gordon wood, it might be an oversimplification. amity: i am also a fan of john quincy adams. i wonder how he does here. brian: a quote from the author of a book on mckinley. "he was maybe one of the finest human beings who ever made it to the white house." harold: i'm very persuaded by a recent interview you did with richard norton smith, who was featured in the book, in which he made a very good case that mckinley deserves higher recognition. he was very popular, maybe the war he led was a little bit contrived, but he was humane. he was lovely toward his wife, who was ill, which counts for something. that sounds ri
