we had harriet harman, the labour mp who had a similarfire ina the labour mp who had a similarfire inncy backin in a tower block in her constituency back in 2009 and there was an inquest into that fire and harriet harman claiming today that those lessons from that tower block fire haven't been learnt in terms of sort of fire safety and in terms of inspections, the regimes, refurbishments, the materials used, whether they were then inspected to be compliant with fire regulations. harriet harman says lessance where not learnt from that time because we have seen something like this happen again. soi have seen something like this happen again. so i think plenty of questions from labour mps. certainly jeremy corbyn saying there are still many things to answer. thank you very much indeed. we're going to be getting an update on the latest from the emergency services from the metropolitan police and the london fire brigade and the london ambulance service right here, in about 20 minutes time, we're being told. so the microphones are set—up and we will be hearing from representatives then of t

we spoke and i know you spoke earlier to harriet harman, the labourmp, she is earlier to harriet harmanr but not on such a large scale happened in her own constituency a few years ago. back then a lot of talk about lessons being learned, changes to be made. is angry and upset but that does not seem is angry and upset but that does not seem to have brought about any changes. politicians are obviously worry about saying what might be to blame here. but there is talk already from some labour mps about whether there is a cost element to this. whether councils could not afford to put in sprinklers. some cutbacks, labour say, to the fire service mean the kind of inspections they used to carry out have not been done. that should have been done. in the last few minutes we have heard from jeremy corbyn, the labour leader who has been answering questions about the tragedy. totally shocked by it. it's the worst nightmare any man can think of. a fire ina nightmare any man can think of. a fire in a tower block. sympathy, support and solidarity to all those that are stuck in the tower or have managed

those lessons have to be learned and harriet harman the mp for campbell and peckham, who represented the point but if you cut local authority expenditure then the price is paid somewhere. do you think actions that should have been taken somewhere have not been? i'm not making that statement yet. today is the day to support emergency services and the residents and thank all those that have given other help. food, water, clothing, shelter, support. all those that have come forward to help people in a time of need and stress. and thank you to all those in the community that have come together in the most amazing way to support people. tomorrow is the time to ask all those questions. today, let's concentrate on dealing with the consequences of this fire and trying to bring comfort and safety and safe life where ever it possibly can be saved. if we asked those questions tomorrow, can you give us an idea we might be looking into? the preventative measures that were available not available in the tower. the facilities, available to get in and out of it in an emergency situation. and the num

and similarly, harriet harman, who was the mp who was very involved in the wa ke the mp who was verywas a money issue. there were simply not the resources to carry out the necessary building work and upgrades and sprinklers. local authority budgets have been cut back and they are not able to invest in a way that the previously cooed. that's jeremy corbyn you previously cooed. that'sjeremy corbyn you can see there, visiting the scene. we might be able to hear a little from him, perhaps. it's great the way people have come together to give that support. the local mosque was on to me last night, saying what can we do to help. yes, we've been inundated with help. seek people coming from southall to get help. people have been coming to express their sympathy as well. the tension and stress of people knowing their loved ones are up there. today and tomorrow, when the news starts coming through. the churches are going to be here long after the rest of the people have gone. - campaigners. ishmael gone. housing campaigners. ishmael is one of community leaders. the country needs you and the co

doesjeremy saying it was great, harriet harman. cooper to say come on in, and build a proper labour cabinet. it would be a very generous thing for him to do. he is personally a very generous and for him to do. he is personally a very generous and non—mean for him to do. he is personally a very generous and non—mean spirited individual. there are lots on the left who would hate the idea of bringing in wretched blairites in but it would be a clever thing to do. it is hard with the vanguard left party types, the hangover group from the old days do alienate the centre and the right. but the vanguard labour types do belief in that, an elite group to carry it forward. there is a manifesto to stick to. jeremy corbyn has not had it all his own way in terms of the manifesto on trident renewal and there are things that the moderate labour mps there are things that the moderate labourmps can there are things that the moderate labour mps can hold on to. i think he could afford an act of generosity to bring in some of those people. parties base

jeremy corbyn, john mcdonnell, harriet harman, have all said, out the single market, out of the customse bunch of them from chuka umunna and all the rest saying, no, no, no, we still want to remain in. what you'll get is some pretty fierce debates. but i do believe we will make progress. and it will bind us all into uk law. and meanwhile the negotiations in brussels will continue and hopefully we will get the point where we a good arrangement trade deal and we can leave as good friends, trading and cooperating. not the queen's speech you would have wanted to have delivered if you'd known before the election, and of course, nothing that appeared in the tory manifesto, pretty much. it was filleted, the manifesto, wasn't it? so, do you have a mandate, do you think, on those issues? you say filleted. actually, there is a slight difference. example, social care. we are bringing forward a consultation process, like the green paper, to actually ask parties to decide together. that is in the long grass, isn't it? it's not, really, no. because i think this is a priority for us. the problem has b

gordon brown, harriet harman, ed miliband — that went really well.rowing up in the west of scotland you had religion, the labour party and you had rangers and celtic. both rangers and the labour party. i think i'm the kind of person on a date i'll have strong initial reactions to somebody. do you think sparks are going to fly? it depends who it is. hello, i'm tommy sheppard. i'm the snp candidate for edinburgh east. i used to run the stand comedy club. it's been a long time since i've been on a date. i'm a wee bit apprehensive. i'm really curious as to who it's going to be, you know. who would you not want to be going on a date with? laughter. well, um... i'll take all comers. is there anyone i wouldn't go on a date with? do you know, i'm that desperate, probably not. i will recognise the person, will i? ah! hiya. hello, tommy! how are you? do you know what, i thought it was going to be alex salmond. i thought it was going to be a tory! wow, well, this will be fun. this will be fun. we're going to agree with each other too much, i think. are you stil

harriet harman expressed very powerfully the sense of solidarity that we all feel.ve been so devastated. by what happened on that fatal night. it is incumbent upon us all as mps for parliament to work effectively to hold government, whatever ministers are responsible, to account on this, because this is not about monday, tuesday, wednesday next week. this is a long—term journey of rebuilding lives for people whose lives have been devastated and a responsibility not just of local mps, but of us all to hold ourselves to account but as events continue to unfold, we know how this place works, but solidarity does not diminish and that is something i will take into the meetings i am chairing to bring government together. for the moment, iam the government together. for the moment, i am the ministerfor government together. for the moment, i am the minister for police and we are in emergency response mode at the moment. the prime ministers order was appropriate for me to chair the meeting. the meeting we had yesterday, we pushed ourselves ha rd to had yesterday, we pushed o

harriet harman said we have to leave. they are all over the place.ices up and stops us dealing with the us and china. we have a trade deficit with the eu, a trade surplus with the rest of the world. we need to help develop countries, being more sustainable with trade. the customs union punishing developing countries who wa nt punishing developing countries who want to trade into the eu customs. how much trade do you believe there is? we are buying more than we sell from the eu and have a deficit of £71 billion. contrast that with the re st of £71 billion. contrast that with the rest of the world where we are selling more than we buy. the potential market for britain for our manufacturers, financial services, it's with the rest of the world... joanna, the answer to your question is this — the eu is our biggest customer so all the new economies, merging economies we want to get on to, we want to sell more into them, but they do not compare to the amount of trade we do with the people in the single market. they are our biggest customer. any businessman
