between 1956—1970 which actually lost 13 by—elections, that's still the record. of course howard wilsonare trying to claim tonight governments often lose by—elections, yes, but not often as the conservatives lose by—elections normally, and not the president's hand site for governments have been losing by—elections on the scale this government has been doing. {eek government has been doing. 0k john, a government has been doing. 0k john, a bit of breaking news we've got, the willingboro turnout has gotten in and he's 13 point one... 38.1%.- turnout has gotten in and he's 13 point one... 38.1%. what you make of that? _ 13 point one... 38.1%. what you make of that? this _ 13 point one... 38.1%. what you make of that? this was - 13 point one... 38.1%. what you make of that? this was a - make of that? this was a constituency that used to have a quite high turnout, there was a quite high turnout, there was a by—election there that the turnout was 60% or so, it's going to be part again of a broader story that yes, a night perhaps of successful labour on the back of low turnouts. i think we can

no other administration has lost so many races like this in a single term since howard wilson in the this is very bruising. why has it happened? you could look at the headlines yesterday about a recession. but also, conservative analysts have been tearing through how much impact the u.k. had in terms of slitting the right wing vote. in any case, it's going to raise questions about whether richie sunak and make it all the way to the general election or whether he will see another leadership race in the party. tom: it is a relative up within the political space on the right when it comes to the politics here in the u.k. will they be able to revive momentum with the budget in march? can they cut taxes and get people of the u.k. back on board with optimism? lizzie: that's what they would like to do. we had this report from the telegraph newspaper saying jeremy hunt does not think he can afford to cut income tax of the spring budget on march the six. we also had reports that he's planning to cut public spending. this is off the back of labor, paring back their pledge to spend 20 billion p

howard university. this is my week of panels. i'm enjoying it. we know who mr. wilson is and who his relative's. we are happy about that. i want to bring in mr. lawrence to talk about this. you were in the classroom for 30 years. you've been in education for 45 years. i'm staying on this longer than i should because i think this issue of school and teacher diversity is very important. having a diversified school. would you like to weigh in? >> i absolutely would. first of all, you can't be what you can't see. so if you are not represented, in the classroom as a teacher or in the school as an administrator, how does a young person see themselves becoming successful, becoming a leader? so what i've seen is, school has to be a welcoming place. if it's not, dr. bell fans from baltimore said, by the third grade, students have decided whether the school thing is for me or not. it makes a lot of sense to me that we need to frontload our resources. we need universal pre-k. we need all-day kindergarten. we need resources at that level. at the end of the day, we need to educate -- we need education and no

wilson, they joined president biden, williamson, we should say, on the ballot. but the president is expected to win overwhelmingly when the votes are tallied later on this evening. joining me right now, howard former democratic national committee chairman and former governor of vermont, and actually pratt oats, nbc tank contributor, political commentator, and former republican. so, welcome to you both. look, south carolina is a significant development today but is against this backdrop of everything else that's going on the middle east right now. so, howard, what's your assessment of the presidents response? >> the presidents response to the middle east or the primary? >> well, let's talk about the middle east first because that's the breaking news. >> yeah, i think he's doing a terrific job. this is why the president needs to get reelected. can you imagine how trump would deal with something like this? he wouldn't have a clue what he would do he, would do something dumb. biden understands the nuances of this. he understands how careful he has to be and he understands that he does have to respond. so, there is no comparison between biden's capability to be president and trump's, you know, t
