i'm glad he i mentioned gordon browne because the last mentioned gordon browne because the test labourgovernment lifted millions of children out of poverty, something — millions of children out of poverty, something we are proud of. and this government will approach the question with the same vigour. last ni . ht, question with the same vigour. last niaht, sir question with the same vigour. last night. sir keir _ question with the same vigour. last night, sir keir starmer voted to come down hard on mps who try to force the government to scrap what is known as the two—child limit on benefits. the seven, who include former shadow cabinet membersjohn former shadow cabinet members john mcdonnell and former shadow cabinet membersjohn mcdonnell and rebecca long—bailey, have been temporarily suspended by the party, so they will have to sit and vote as independents. i�*m and vote as independents. i“n disappointed that the party has taken this decision. the party should be able to tolerate difference in opinion. and there is much difference in opinion, because a lot of the parliamentary labour

so because rishi sunak has decided, unlike gordon brown, to come and be leaderfor at unlike gordon brownat least unlike gordon brown, to come and be leaderfor at least a unlike gordon brown, to come and be leader for at least a while, it means he has to sit there in the place that sir keir starmer used to occupy and do the role of leader of the opposition, but with 175 fewer of his mps behind him. so a very stark reminder, and that's what one tory mp said to me, itjust becomes very obvious even if you didn't know there's been a massive shift in parliamentary power. then of course, though it's more liberal democrats, far fewer though it's more liberal democrats, farfewer snp, and new faces like nigel farage, reform mps, a couple extra green mps. so definitely feels like a real change. and of course those new ones looking really happy — a bit lost as they try to find their way around, but looking very happy, lots of hugging and smiles. we will see how all that last. hind we will see how all that last. and niel we will see how all that last. and nigel farage _ we will see how all that last.

said we have got to sit on the _ gordon brown said we have got to sit on the tory— gordon brownild benefit cap, that the best way out of poverty through employment and parents should plan responsibly? i parents should plan responsibly? i think there is from the traditional point of view, yes. but i do think that the right is changing and nigel farage, his position on that shows how it is changing. particularly with concern about immigration and building up the domestic population so as not to just replace the british with migrant workers. that is becoming an important part of the conversation on the right. ijust do not think that the labour left if they do say we want to conversation about this, they cannotjust they do say we want to conversation about this, they cannot just speak to the labour party but they have to look at politics in the mound and thatis look at politics in the mound and that is what the public are made clear. they want politics to be more conversational and more cooperative. i think there is cross—party support, _ i think there is cross—party support. the _

this was something tried with mixed success by gordon brown in 2018.nes, a senior military figure, lord west. in time, i think gordon brown perhaps set the agenda but keir starmer is picking that up and saying where people's expertise is not parliament isn't a barrier for appointing them. i think he went largely for unity. the shadow culture secretary was defeated, and rayner is there now. but elsewhere, keir has built up relationships with civil service and business and so on. rachel reeves, as you were mentioning has moved into number 11 downing street as chancellor. johnny reynolds is continuing as business secretary when he was shadow business secretary before so that continuity very important to keir stormer because he wants to be seen delivering on some of his limited promises very quickly. ben: ian, good to talk to you. important developments tonight. thank you, ian watson. one man who has firsthand experience of what it's like on day one in do you think street is jonathan power. he was on tony blair's staff for his 10 years on downing street. j

he could have chosen from, he's bringing back the right hand men and women of tony blaire and gordon brown, it's going to be very, very rocky ride, and unless the british people can get their act together and try and stop this roller coaster, we may well... on our way to starmden. his first call, as you rightly implied, was to joe biden. i don't know if joe biden knows who he is, or knows that the telephone call even took place, but in that telephone call, we have the actuality, kier starmer pledged himself to potential war with america's enemies and america's service, exactly the same way as tony blair did with george w. bush in... the uh run up to the afghan, then the war against iraq. the second call that he made, warren, i don't know if you are aware of this. the second call kier starmer made was to benjamin netanyahu, and starmer's spokesman in writing said afterwards that the british prime minister thanked prime minister netanyahu. and looked forward to a deepening of relations between our two friendly countries, you couldn't make up warrant, unfortunately you had no need to, it real

yvette cooper — who was a cabinet minister under gordon brown the last time labour were in power, 1aand david lammy will become the uk's new foreign secretary. labour's success has come largely at the expense of the conservatives. their share of the vote was down by almost 20% on the last election. rishi sunak did retain his seat in yorkshire — but says he will step down as leader — and had this to say as he left downing street.( to the country, i would like to say, first and foremost, i am sorry. i have given thisjob my all. but you have sent a clear signal that the government of the united kingdom must change, and yours is the only judgment that matters. i have heard your anger, your disappointment, and i take responsibility for this loss. to all the conservative candidates, the campaigners, who have worked tirelessly but without success, i am sorry that we could not deliver what your efforts deserved. sir keir starmer will shortly become our prime minister. to put the conservative performance into perspective. their total of 121 mp5 is their lowest since the end of the first world

i mean, lots of gordon brown refused to do it. he just resigned, went off.man took over as a caretaker leader. so that was the option that rishi sunak had. and i spoke to a couple of his friends and they said, look, we've said to him we would prefer him to stay at least for a while, and they felt that he would do that and that is what he's done. but, you know, coming in there, sitting in that chamber on the opposite side, you know, it must be a very strange feeling to have those roles reversed. and the question now is, how long is he going to stay? will he stay and do that? prime minister's questions i think there will be just one before the parliamentary recess, because that would be, again, a pretty strange thing to do when you've already been prime minister. you know, others have done it like michael howard, but they hadn't been prime minister and switched over to leader of the opposition. so just hearing that, you know, read out by the speaker saying leader of the opposition, rishi sunak, it's strange. and he sort of again repeated some of his messages a

this time, i think gordon brown perhaps set the agenda. keir starmer...largely to continuity. that's because the shadow secretary was defeated in bristol. but keir starmer is very keen to build up relationships that they will continue with those relationships and hit the ground running. hence racial reeves is there and no longer shadow chancellor, but has moved into number 11 —— rachel reeves. that very important for keir starmer, because he wants to be seen to be delivering on some of his limited promises very quickly. iain. delivering on some of his limited promises very quickly. iain, good to talk to yom — promises very quickly. iain, good to talk to you. important _ promises very quickly. iain, good to | talk to you. important developments tonight. one man with first—hand experience of what day one in downing st feels like isjonathan powell, who was tony blair's chief of staff. good to have you with us. talk to me about that transition. it's quite a change. you go from opposition and you can have all the ideas in the world. when you get inside number

do you remember with gordon brown, when we were both working in westminster?meeting with 0bama. and yet they ended up having a brush by in a kitchen for like two minutes. yeah. it wasn't what was planned. and then in the worst of all worlds, talking to a man who's got severe problems, political problems and also a contested health problem. and you know, when i grew up, there was a show called spitting image, which ran a sub sketch about president reagan called the president's brain is missing. and it had him, uh, giving reading things off the autocue, which were rubbish cupcakes, crumbly candy bars. and, you know, we spoke to tina brown. tina brown, the uber editor. class act, transatlantic journalism queen. right. put that on an aston. and she said the democrats have known aboutjoe biden's problems for months. it's the most chilling question in american public life. what did you know and when did you know it? the american public knew as well, because the polls have showed that a big chunk of the public thought he was too old and not fit enough to be president

in scotland, on the front page of the daily record, gordon brown instructed voters to vote labour toverty. yet last night labour mps from scotland were instructed to retain the two child cap, which forces children into poverty. so, prime minister, what changed? >> hear, hear. >> hear, hear. >> i'm glad he mentioned gordon brown because the last labour government lifted millions of children out of poverty , children out of poverty, something we're very, very proud of . and this government will of. and this government will approach the question with the same vigour with our new task force already we've taken steps, breakfast clubs , abolishing no breakfast clubs, abolishing no fault evictions, decent homes standards. >> order order order! props are not allowed to be used. never mind put it down. we don't need any more prime minister. >> mr speaker, already we've set up a task force to put that figure in place . free breakfast figure in place. free breakfast clubs in every primary school. abolishing no fault eviction, decent homes , standard awaabs decent homes, standard awaabs law and

it was something brought in by gordon brown. government of all talents.rs. his brother, of course, edward timpson was a conservative minister for children and families and regarded as rather a successful minister in that role. some of these notes don't last very long, but i hope that james timpson doesn't last long in the post. it is a huge problem and one of the problems on his desk where there are so many others. what will he do about universities where several are in danger of going bankrupt, something we have never known in this country? and of course, local councils, some of them have already gone bankrupt in recent years and others are likely to follow. but the very fact he held a press conference is good news, too. more of them, please. there were lots in the gordon brown and tony blair years but a lot fewer of them in recent years in downing street. before i let you go, michael, we have just heard that nigel farage has been talking and hinted that he would not work with the conservatives, no matter who the party chooses as its next leader.

also in the era, though, when gordon brown was so desperate to hang out with barack 0bama, they ended, the dvd thing, i mean, it was later people wondered whether they actually bought the dvds in the white house gift shop and a kind of last minute. just give him these. give him these. um, but, yeah. no, there have been some some awful. i have to say, the british gifts are generally better than the american ones. but then that that reflects the reality of the special relationship, which is only special really from one side. some supplicants. i wonder, by the way, i wonder if keir starmer sweats, because what chris was saying right at the beginning, i mean, it really took me back to living there. and i had a soft top car and i loved the heat and it was you do. washington at this time of year is really, really sweaty, and particularly when you're going from a cooler britain at the moment, it will really have struck them. and you can say, well, yeah, they'll be in air conditioned rooms and all the rest of it all the time, but you can't ever be completely in an air conditioned room. and as

yvette cooper — who was a cabinet minister under gordon brown the last time labour were in power, 1action campaign were the headline—grabbing stunts from the liberal democrat leader sir ed davey — including falling off a paddle board and bungeejumping. well, it seems that the tactics worked. the lib dems now have 71 seats — 63 more than before — although their share of the vote only went up by 0.6 percent. as you can see from these pictures, sir ed was happy to celebrate the outcome. trust is a very precious commodity, it is hard one and sometimes you've lost it, you lose it. and you're left to work for a hard to win it back and i thank people for trusting us again. we will not let you down. we will honour your trust. the liberal democrats _ we will honour your trust. the liberal democrats the third—largest party here in westminster and reform uk let's look at the reform uk party now. their campaign was of course spearheaded by nigel farage — who's become well—used to being heckled, and that continued at his party's post—election news conference this afternoon. he, as usual, carried

you know, gordon brown gave , you you know, gordon brown gave, you know, monetary independence to the and they started to invest. and actually we saw lots of things happen. you know, child poverty came down. you know, i don't feel very inspired. and a lot of young people actually look at starmont think, you know, we voted maybe for labour to get rid of the tories, but actually, what are they going to do about, you know, the fact that lots of renters are having landlords put up their prices, what are they going to do about mortgages? you know, a lot of people can't get a dentist appointment for goodness sake. the transport, you know, a lot of people thought that they were going to nationalise, the energy. they're not going to nationalise the energy. they've got a new gb, whatever it's called, actually funded by private investment. yeah. and it's very, very vague. the energy companies are now. yeah. and i actually think that a lot of people want, you know, in the first year, as you said, obe, they want a lot of change. you know, there's no point saying in an election we're going to chan

and this is the finish, according to with the plans developed by the former labor prime minister gordon brown, and we say that these plans are almost 15 years old, it was planned to replace this house of lords with an elected assembly of the so-called assembly of nations and regions, i remind you that the bicameral system of the british parliament from the house of commons, the house of lords, of course, the house of commons is elected in the round of general elections, the house of lords does not... meets, these are the so-called hereditary peers, and it is this inheritance, this perhaps i would say political archaism against the background of a fairly, i would say, developed democracy in great britain, and wanted to replace labor, but even in the leading circles of labor they say that the whole proposal was barely, again using english humor, barely placed in the oven it says... or is it about baking some specific cake that could be eaten, that is, it is not about any radical reforms that will happen literally even during the tenure of this labor government, that is, here here, let's say so

. >> on that subject, gordon brown says, give our children hope by voting labour. without meals due to a lack of food. well, you would do that due to lack of money. i would have thought that means. >> but any child, any child that's suffering, any child that is without education, any child that's without basic shelter, water, food in this country today is an absolute, an abhorrence really should not be happening. >> well, you see, claire, i didn't believe it was happening. and then i'm involved in a charity that does in belfast work? no no no no no no that's another one. that's a food shelter. yeah, yeah. but i've been around these food shelters and you think, well, who can't afford to give their kid a bowl of cornflakes in the morning or whatever it is? the answer seems to be plenty. plenty. it's not just belfast. it's barnsley, it's bradford. yeah. it's everywhere. it's bolton, and it is absolutely incredible. people who just don't seem to be able to provide this. >> i think it goes back to education though, and i think it goes back to the housing crisis. and if

gordon brown did not do that.well. i do not think we have seen their dog before. we have seen a cat before. jeremy hunt happy to be an mp. he probably wondered whether that would be the case this morning because he was fighting a very tight seat. an experienced politician come in cabinet for a long time under different prime ministers and he will surely have a big influence over stabilising the party, its future direction as they decide what to do. he is now a grandee. we don't know if you would try to go for leadership again. what do you think? it's interesting. he has tried it a lot. you never know. the fact he fought so hard to stay in mp, that was a surprise to some people. lots of others decided not to stand, pretty much knowing there is seat might be lost. they decided not to fight the general election. he made a brave decision to do that and has managed to pull it off. they the chancellor's car leaving downing street for the last time. jeremy hunt and his family, children and the dog. the gates closed behin

blair was such a political star, in front of which even no boris johnson can be compared, but gordon brown, tony blair's successor, already there was such a party bureaucrat, well we see, i'm a bit of a snob, by the way we... we see that it didn't save the conservatives, yes, actually, from a whole series of wrong decisions, we have a short break, and after that... we'll be back another important topic, let's talk about the united states of america, about elections, about re- about the consequences of the debate and about the ratings, don't switch, see you soon. tingling, numbness or crawling of ants in the limbs arise spontaneously and worry you. a special complex of active substances of dolgit antineuro helps to normalize the functioning of the nervous system. contributes to the return to usual activities, without tingling and numbness in the limbs. capsules doolgit antineuro - help to your nervous system. there are discounts representing the only discounts on пенистыел 15% in pharmacies, plantain, you and savings. the book of women at war, a joint project of the espresso tv channel and

something gordon brown talked about a lot and some mp's argue it fuels child poverty.overnment has been protecting fiscal rules and saying they will commit to unfunded spending is the argument. they are saying it's not rebellion when you have a strong majority. tom: gordon ramm has been vocal on that. does this lock in an interest rate cut? >> it would look that way. inflation will jot from 2% to 1.9%. you've got traitorous on august rate cut but we heard from the chief economist saying he will be looking through the data points at the long-term trend so it suggests august cut is not a done deal. tom: indeed. with a preview of the kings speech. coming up we will speak to the ceo of the power space software startup. they've raised a lot of cash from significant backers so stay tuned. this is bloomberg. ♪ tom: welcome back. europe's most valuable tech company asml smashed estimates and i'm joined by david watkins. we saw the results flagging that 2025 is a big year so talk us through these numbers. david: a big beat in the second quarter strength of demand from customers

that last time that there was a labor leader inside that building behind me as prime minister gordon brown was that man at a time the victory that they are on costs for the moment might well be the biggest victory as a fee, if, if anything we're starting to hear that perhaps the exit polls has on is, is on the valuing the labor victory. they might well get more than the full 110 seats. that the exit ball is predicted. the conservatives might get fewer than the 131 of the exit ball has predicted. so we'll have to wait and see as these official count starts coming to composite. is that doing at the moment? on the side from the predicted, the stunning victory for the uh, some significant results for smaller parties as well as a tour, which is awesome. yeah, i mean, the tory does all through the course the 2nd biggest story of the night. so off the neighbors project to the land slide, it is clear that there is a wide spreads shift away from the policy. the policy is collapsing, as we're watching it. and to go from being the policy a power to see or a projection of the violence of a $131.00 sea

we also had the former adviser to gordon brown when he was by minister, christopher mcneil elected inotland office minister, but also a return to the front bench for some people who had been missing for some time. courtesy in some cases of the electorate, for example where emma rails had been in wolverhampton was defeated in 2019, came back in hempstead, sorry, hyde wickham, taking overfor cover hempstead, sorry, hyde wickham, taking over for cover ministers steve baker, she was made the working pensions and treasury minister. the initial position of labour leadership was not calling for an immediate cease—fire in gaza, she resigned, she said she was reflecting the views of her constituents, that is pretty much correct looking at the narrow election victory she scored in her birmingham seat. she now becomes a home office minister and she is dealing with issues such as tackling violence against women and girls which was one of keir starmer's priorities and his mission he said out a year and a half before the manifesto and the election. we've not the manifesto and the election. we've go

tony blair and gordon brown outraged many of their own natural supporters by cutting lone—parent benefitand you were at the centre of it. does it feel familiar? it does. but it also, you know, i know what harriet achieved. my god, she was a powerful champion for change. and if i look at our time in government, we had the first ever national childcare strategy. we had the new dealfor lone parents to help them get into work, family—friendly working for the first time, maternity and paternity pay and leave. so i know how tough it was at the beginning. but i also know at the end of our time in office, the big changes we put in place, which really was a powerful feminist agenda... is that the lesson in a way that you want labour mps to learn? that, look, there were bad times, then they'll be tough times now, but... that is absolutely right, because, you know, iam probably more passionate about tackling child poverty than anything. i ran a charity, the maternity alliance, before i became an mp, when we were putting in place surestart and children's centres. and, you know, i know that giving ch

they will be a slight danger, you know, a bit of the gordon brown, you have to know when to let go anddo things. but you saw him chairing cabinet, he looked natural, he was director of public prosecutions, he is accustomed to sitting at the head of a table and telling people what to do. you like running meetings. he is specific about wanting everyone to be prompt, well briefed. that side of the job will come quite naturally to him. he is less natural about the sort of personal aspect of politics. hagar personal aspect of politics. how im ortant personal aspect of politics. how important do — personal aspect of politics. how important do you _ personal aspect of politics. how important do you think that is? how much are the team concerned about that if at all? obviously, the job is about making decisions and guiding policy on coming up with ideas. but it's also about persuading the public and take in the country with you. yes. persuading the public and take in the country with you.— persuading the public and take in the country with you. yes, i hope, --eole i the country with you. yes,

gordon brown wants you to do this.htaway if you made that choice. laura, it costs more than £3 billion a year. and we were really clear during the election that we were not going to make spending commitments without being able to say where the money was going to come from. and if i said to you, now, we're going to make those changes this year or next year or the year after, you would rightly say, where's the money going to come from for that? if we're not able to say where the money is going to come from, we can't promise to do it. and that's true when it comes to the two—child limit and anything else. but if you ask are we going to lift kids out of poverty? absolutely we are. and look at some of the things that we've committed to do and that we will do. free breakfast clubs at all primary schools so that all children get a good breakfast in the morning and to help their mums and dads be able to take more hours at work or to to get a job. at work or to get a job. the creation of 3,000 additional nurseries with 100,000

think it is a return to the old days when dinosaurs like me were bankers, a time described by gordon browny. the reason is you have to understand the mentality of bankers and that is the bonus means everything, notjust is the bonus means everything, not just the is the bonus means everything, notjust the next ferrari you can buy, it is a market assessment of your value, and you will do absolutely everything to increase that because if someone gets twice you have got, that is the market deciding he is twice the man you will ever be, and that mentality was pervasive in the 2000 and that is what helped lead up to the financial crisis because it does encourage reckless gambling. the reason is because the rias and asymmetrical risk, if you get a massive bonus you get to keep most of it, some may be clawed backin most of it, some may be clawed back in the profits, and therefore if you do not — if your gamble comes back, you get a huge amount of money. if it goes wrong, it could go — no money is removed from your wallet and that is asymmetrical risk, the core of this problem. do you not think tha
