anything to put that right now and they could have is actually properly opposing brights it which jeremy coleman has refused to do if latest which having a proper ok he went and he breaks a position that might save his chances but jeremy corbyn in self is pro brett such as far as we know and he's very stubborn and doesn't want to change the party's position that's true and there's no evidence that that will change anytime soon john worth and barbara bass for the both of you thank you for 2 days of excellent analysis we appreciate it thank you it carries on for more of revenue for. a while one then was getting a new prime minister in washington the sitting u.s. president was tweeting about congressional hearings and the testimony of former special counsel robert moore. did not include not yours. that is correct and what about total exoneration you actually totally exonerate the press. now in fact europe which explicitly states that it does not exonerate. it does. robert mueller reluctantly appearing before 2 congressional committees today to answer questions about his investigation into russian m

but connecting that back to what bob has just been saying and i agree with that analysis of jeremy coleman's problems labor's turn in the 3rd in the opinion polls at the moment the conservatives are neck and neck with the liberals and labor is really struggling now the challenge is for the labor party has come they do anything to put that right now one option they could have is actually probably opposing brakes which jeremy coleman has refused to do if latest which having a proper kick he went and he breaks a position that might save his chances but jeremy corbyn himself is proper exit as far as we know and he's very stubborn and doesn't want to change the party's position that's true and there's no evidence that that will change anytime soon john worth and barbara bass of the both of you thank you for 2 days of excellent analysis we appreciate it thank you it carries on to more of a. well well london was getting a new prime minister in washington the sitting u.s. president was tweeting about congressional hearings and the testimony of former special counsel robert will. work that not includ

parliament and of the leader of the opposition party who is at the moment labor boss jeremy kolbe and jeremy coleman for example why is she hadn't done anything about the rising poverty during her time in office to recent may was treating this basically as business as usual and she was also suggesting to jeremy call been that she that he that he should resign and do it the way that she did that he should resign as leader from his so quite a few back and nice back and forth between to reason may and jeremy corbyn and of course questions about certain policies about breaks it also but all in all i think she has come to the conclusion that her time in office has ended and that she has to now give over the policy. and give over the premiership to boris johnson who's a very divisive figure here and the u.k. this is what a many people think he on the one hand is celebrated for his optimism for his energy for bringing now fresh wind into office and into number 10 downing street and maybe also to palm and much needed because we know that that breaks a deadline is coming up at the end of october so that on t

him on a number of occasions he rounded on her and they ended up in the normal squabble with jeremy coleman cole. for a general election which is quite possible in the in the coming months and she then said well look what do you do the same as i've done and quits this party leader moving on from there we're expecting the man himself boris to arrive in westminster the west is to hear the house of commons that will be for another sequence of meetings with potential new ministers i'm told reliably by a source that the reason he's coming here are not doing the traditional as many people will remember those ministers walking up and down downing street some are getting fired some get hired that is something that isn't going to happen and it didn't happen off in the cameron administration nor the may administration because they don't want to see the humiliation of people having being marched up downing street to get fired then walk out again so the sackings adult in a more sensitive way a pound if you can being in such a thing but right now there is concern over 2 aspects to resig firings one part

as he said himself and then have a general election at some point further down the line and be jeremy coleman because that's what the policy won't see the problem here is that there's any number of people around here who would say he's got that the wrong way round and in fact what will happen because the so little appetite for a no deal brecht sits in his own party let alone elsewhere in the country that people will have to happen as a general election before he gets a chance to do it representative of those of us and if the election happens before them and there's no guarantee that rex it will ever happen until i let alone boris johnson carrying on and but that the thing that makes everybody so angry about boris johnson people don't like him is that he seems to be ignored. the obstacles in front of him things like you know the european union and the irish border and all the sort of thing and says oh never mind all that let's just get on and do it and if that's really ignorance of the facts on the obstacles in this way to make so many people think it's actually going to be a 1000000 times mor

things and he talked about deliver great city you're not the country and defeat jeremy cool but in jeremy coleman of course is the leader of the labor party do you think the snap election could be around the corner. well it might you never know what is happening here what is going to happen in the u.k. i don't think that boris johnson himself would call a snap election he has just gotten the keys to downing street and he has been waiting for that for a long time so i don't know why he would call a snap election but of course there are other ways to call a general election and then it would be a showdown between boris johnson and jeremy hunt on the other hand we have to save both euro skeptics of course boris johnson has led the for campaign during that referendum but also jeremy colvin is not very much on the european side he's been a euro skeptic all along so it's going to be a very interesting race between these 2 complete polar opposite men if it came to a general election and i think other parties like the liberal democrats for example who are very much pro european and who want to remain in
