jeremy corbett is certainly miles behind borisjohnson in terms of national popularity or unpopularityyn. so that is what you do not want to december election. jeremy corbyn. so that is what you do not want to december electionlj think we want to do what is right for the country, to get brexit over and then have a general election. in the likelihood of winning and losing, it is likely borisjohnson thinks that dashing forward, the remainder will split between the liberal democrats and labour and he will win with a majority of the votes in a minority of the seats. that would be a tragedy for democracy itself and also a travesty for the economy, which would be broken by brexit. we need to sort this brexit problem out there putting his reckless deal to the people, so it has got votes right across the country, not broken up and divided by constituencies with splits between various different groups, get that sorted, and have a general election and all the other issues we want to get on with. we can only get on with those issues if we get over brexit, and in my view, the best way to do that i

the d u p the democratic unionist party and now we're hearing from the leader of the opposition jeremy corbett 3rd in fact he thinks boris johnson is really a means to have these rejected he thinks that boris johnson wants a no deal brought to them that he's designed these proposals specifically to be unacceptable to brussels will brussels has been hardening its reaction to these requirements we've heard from. the irish teashop that he does not want any kind of border infrastructure all customs checks a toll something he says they haven't had since the 1990 s. he's foreign minister has said that these proposals could not be the basis for a solution but just a step in the right direction and in brussels the the brics it steering committee of the european parliament says that these proposals are nothing near to the kind of compromise needed boris johnson will be holding talks with his counterparts across the you in the coming days but they have already been outlining that they think he he's not serious partly because there have been memos released to the press here in britain to conservative m.p

but it's all in the can find out about them he's been tweeting if it is indeed this guy against jeremy corbett yes massively hands are leading politician well i don't know that but if he has been lost all right and quite clear there's a potential conflict of interest between his position working for the british army and what might be happening on twitter and that's not why situation with the army should not be allowed to occur you don't think this means that there needs to be some going to review well i do think you need to be reviewed i do think that needs to be examined and i think it's unwise when somebody could be seen to have a potential conflict of interest loan back thank you well as india celebrates the 150th anniversary of the birth of mahatma gandhi a global icon for civil rights the people of the disputed jammu and kashmir region continue to have their rights denied him it's an ongoing indian military enforced shut down joining me now is former u.n. undersecretary general and indian national congress lok sabha m.p. thanks for coming on the show before we get into any of that do you

s under jeremy corbett people like stephen kinnock said it's more important to remember rape allegations that agrees the older tweets about rape in respect of your is gone or appears to believe there are actual rape charges against you is that it's labor m.p.'s that seem to be opposing corbett well that this is despicable and frankly that they are completely misrepresenting the situation and i don't want to say lying about the situation but there are never been any charges of rape the gates to jail in a song and this this whole process is going for the moment has nothing whatsoever to do with anything that did or didn't happen in suite i always say you know never let the truth get in the way of a good smear and and it's quite clear that in the song has been demonized he has been smeared in the attempt to denigrate them and to try and justify this outrageous is appalling treatment to which he's being subjected to right now a cult stress enough how he how they are lazy it is the labor party's breaks it shatter breaks it secretary was running the c.p.s. when apparently doj emails were going

election candidate for the far right national rally party now britain's opposition labor leader jeremy corbett has told his m.p.'s he will support an early election it comes as prime minister boris johnson attempts to push for a december vote again on tuesday his 1st attempt for december 12th failed on monday because he didn't have 2 thirds support from m.p.'s let's get the latest now from lawrence leigh in london so this is quite a turnaround isn't it lawrence. well yes though i mean you know that in a way the labor party and boxed itself into a corner to be honest because the other opposition parties the scottish nationalists and the liberal democrats had said that they supported an election and would support changing the law to allow boris johnson and themselves to have that election with a simple majority in parliament instead of 2 thirds which you mentioned in your introduction and so once they'd done that then it made the labor party look particularly ridiculous because of all the other rebel opposition parties saying we're happy to have an election and low budget saying well we're not i

jeremy corbett and the labour party are actually any really difficult position here because you could has been saying about jeremy corbyn a promise he will vote for a general election if no deal is taken off the table for october 31, he is now going back on that and the comments coming out today, it looks like he is saying unless no deal is taken off the table altogether, which would mean immediately implementing the free trade deal or a booking article 50, then he is not going to vote for a general election on monday. he is nuance in his position and changing it on a daily basis at the moment and i think it will cut through to voters at some stage but i think the short answer is unlikely on monday. very quickly. yeah, i don't think you will get a two thirds majority, i think if there was a 19 build the snp will support it because they have a lot to gain from this election but i don't see the chance of getting a two thirds majority is high on monday. thank you very much indeed, brexit continues. the questions of a brexit continues. the questions of a brexit continues but thank you for

labor party leader jeremy corbyn i lied in the wake of the fire including the labor party leader jeremy corbett highlighted government deregulation and us their policies as a major contributing factor leading to the government deregulation. under stereotype policies as a major contributing factor leading to the tragedy many experts in the field of housing also pointed to the fact highly flammable material the tragedy many experts in the field of housing also pointed to the fact highly flammable material have been used as insulation to game believes the inquiry should take a closer look at those it'll have been used as insulation game believes the inquiry should take a closer look at those in authority use in action he says contributions to the tragedy. are north already in action he says contribution to the tragedy. till they leveled the same scrutiny at how hill they leveled the same scrutiny at how intensely flammable material was fixed to the outside of the building who made those dissidence the flammable material was fixed to the outside of the building who made those decisions who made tho

he says, jeremy corbett would be so bad for your country.'s got the message because a labour government will not be throwing themselves into the arms of donald trump for a free trade agreement that would see him have open access to our national health service. we already know the plans they have for our pharmaceutical concerns. they want to be able to sell as drugs at massively inflated prices, hence the secret negotiations going on between the uk government officials and the pharmaceutical industry in the united states. we are not doing that, we are not going to see the bill right from £80 billion a year to £45 bill right from £80 billion a year to £16 billion. people need those drugs for asthma and diabetes and we are not going to let donald trump or his friends see the united kingdom asa his friends see the united kingdom as a feeding ground to get rich on, and norare we as a feeding ground to get rich on, and nor are we going to lie them to pollute our country with chlorine checking and hormone injected beef. it is not going to happen. i

s and the labor leader jeremy corbett is very angry and he's adamant that labor cannot back the government's deal let's have a listen. he has renegotiated the withdrawal agreement and maybe even worse. he's renegotiated the political declaration and made that even worse we're having a debate today on a tax through which there is no economic impact assessment and no accompanying legal advice this government has sought to avoid scrutiny throughout the process and yesterday evening made empty promises on workers' rights and the environment. and the reality is that this might not actually come to a vote today strange as it might seem if the left when amendment passes number 10 downing street the forest johnson's center of operation says let it be known they will pull the votes before it actually gets to a division if the let win meant passes and then we'll come back on monday and vote for it then it's going to be a very very tense day here at westminster all right up there in westminster live for us paul thank you very much let's cross over now if we can enjoy a neve barker he's in belfast need
