well, i think is obviously a more credible alternative than jeremy corbyn, who was anathema to most ofting because the criticism made of jeremy as she was interesting because the criticism made ofjeremy corbyn with the planting of magic money trees and now we are in a situation because of covid and the big spending on infrastructure plans announced before this pandemic hits, this idea that now the tories are planting money trees to rivaljeremy corbyn as allotments are where does labour go with the argument on spending? the tory perspective, 0k, a lack of fiscal discipline might alienate old school blue rinse brigade tories who are much keener on fixing the roof and saving money, but where are they going to go? they're not going to switch to the lib dems or labour, so they are safe, so this idea about fighting over the centre ground, the squeezed middle who do want there to be more public spending, because that's i think what we have been used to over the last couple of decades, the idea of failure reversing some of the criticisms over austerity is something the tories want to cling ont

kind of implying that jeremy corbyn was not serious.bour party members? that's a build attack. this slogan, a new leadership, made that clear from the beginning of this online conference replacing the usual conference because of covid. this really is about marking a new era for the labour party. making sure that people know that actually, his values are quite traditional, you might say socially conservative, he was talking about opportunity, family, security, so all those wea knesses family, security, so all those weaknesses of the jeremy corbyn air he was seeking to address it. obviously, that will be quite controversial with party members. his pitch here was certainly to the country rather than the membership. it sounded very different to the kind of things he was talking about during his leadership campaign. then he was talking about defending freedom of movement, he was talking about not straying far from jeremy corbyn in terms of policy and here, really he was talking about those values that he wants to get across and he was talkin

this is sir keir starmer and he really, really wants you to know that jeremy corbyn is no longer leaderlabour party. a conference speech in an almost empty room, after four election defeats, presents many challenges. but sir keir‘s message was blunt. never again will labour go into an election not being trusted on national security, with yourjob, with your community and with your money. that's what being under new leadership means. he didn't mention jeremy corbyn‘s name once but he talked about the importance of patriotism and security, seen as weak points for his predecessor. let's be brutally honest with ourselves. when you lose an election in a democracy, you deserve to. he didn't hold back on criticism of the prime minister, either, comparing his own legal background with mrjohnson‘s time as a journalist. it was all about character, he said. this is the big difference between the prime minister and me. whilst borisjohnson was writing flippant columns about bendy bananas, i was defending victims and prosecuting terrorists. once upon a time, keir starmer led parliamentary calls for a

some of the trade unions that they don't want to have too much of a differentiation between the jeremy corbyn policies. in a strange way, as i say, there can be this sort of shift, if you like, in approach. but the interesting thing for the labour party now, as i say, there will not be any votes on the internal changes to policy making. i don't want to get too far into the inner machinations of the labour party, we do have time for it, it is terribly complicated. but the important thing is they will not be any massive changes in policy, part of policy this weekend as of this conference, because there can't be. they cannot be any big votes from the floor of the conference. so i don't think we will see any shifts away. i'm going to pause you there, early. i apologise. away. i'm going to pause you there, early. iapologise. let's away. i'm going to pause you there, early. i apologise. let's hearfrom shadow chancellor anneliese dodds. early. i apologise. let's hearfrom shadow chancellor anneliese doddslj wa nt to shadow chancellor anneliese doddslj want to thank everyone watching for bearing with

which is, when you were running to become leader, you were very careful not to criticise anything jeremy corbynperch as leader, actually you are rejecting that legacy. the labour party's historic mission was to represent working people in parliament and to form governments to change lives. and we betray that if we don't take more seriously winning elections and actually changing lives. so were there elements, then, of the last five years that were betraying that? the failure to win elections, of course, betrays that. when you lose four elections in a row, you've lost the chance to change lives for the better, and we have gifted the tories a decade or more of power. taking charge after disaster would be hard any time but, during a pandemic, sir keir‘s promise has been all about competence, not concrete plans. i want this country to be the best place to grow up in and the best place to grow old in. of course, everyone would want that, but what would you do? we need the values that underpin it, and in due course the policies but, four years from an election, what's most important is to set out wha

could do that withjohn mcdonnell support for the ira, he could do that with john mcdonnell and jeremy corbyno has a career prosecuting terrorists. boris johnson was furious at the end of all of this, he had been admonished by the speaker and now wants to launch more personal attacks on keir starmer. it is a ridiculous strategy and tory mps are beginning to ask whether borisjohnson is beginning to lose it, whether he is up to the job, whether he is still suffering from the after—effects of covid. but the idea of going for keir starmer personally is sure to backfire. the idea of going for keir starmer personally is sure to backfirelj will personally is sure to backfire.” will stay with you nigel, because the front page of your paper and new material we will learn perhaps about princess diana. this is the deal harry and meghan have done with netflix. it is worth $100 million but one of the by—products of this is the suggestion they may well make a documentary about princess diana andl a documentary about princess diana and i can't think of anyone better to actually do that than one of her sofis

well there were feelings that jeremy corbyn was more attuned to russia and other countries. russia and other countries. so i think that a lot of those people who left and voted tory in the last election, they will send their children to the army and there have been are mere commissioners for years and felt he was not patriotic. sol years and felt he was not patriotic. so i think that and also an upgrade in education all over the country is his message. i think he is saying this is a different labour, please look at us again. same story but front page of the guardian, jessica, your paper. at the bottom, same story saying starmer to urge red wall vote rs story saying starmer to urge red wall voters to return to labour. do you think that will fall on deaf ea rs you think that will fall on deaf ears and do you think he has a chance? i think everyone in the party thinks they need time to rebuild that confidence and this is only the first step. i mean, frankly, keir starmer probably does not even have good recognition of name in those seats let alone get people to vote for them. b

in the states for example or jeremy corbyn wasn't britney that's a far more of a treasure in my bookthan a guy who really i mean which i endorse the sort of people in the u.k. who might be laughing at the idea of jimmy corbin being charismatic but little corner there because the mormon energize corben energized people in the u.k. and i don't know as i said not for the party energized its core support you know momentum right now i mean before i got elected let's just play a little bit of nirvana here and this was in august 1990 come out of prison so that happening of the times when he hasn't been present in russian politics this is what he said about a year ago having this to just move now we see that lies and fraud are not enough for them already it's not enough for them to ban the candidates from the election they deliberately want to arrest dozens to beat up hundreds to smash repairers nations of anti-corruption fund and it shows that there is no support to them they feel this and they're afraid so. exults are going to go by this tweet amicable international says on twitter to us w

atlantic,across the jeremy corbyn seems to be an item of history, i guess.ime minister johnson risk losing power from the conservatives within the chaos on brexit? does he risk giving it all back to the center and to labor? norman: we are a long way from an election, four years away. i think it is very difficult to see through the mists of covid, how things are going to emerge. with myself, uncomfortable the level of government spending, but i don't believe that we should be cutting back now or raising taxes now. i think we've got to have a couple of years, a year, two years, before we address the budget deficit, but i think we should address it. and i hope that prime minister a johnson will agree with that. chancellor will be pressing him to do that. it would not be right to do that now because we have to address the economy and get a grip. francine: would you extend furlough program? norman: i'm sorry, i didn't hear. francine: would you extend the furlough programs to make sure that we have a robust recovery? extend no, i would not the furlough program bec

some of the labour party thought that jeremy corbyn johnson. mies, he was very much criticised for that. it is striking that the person introducing him in an otherwise empty room in doncaster was the jewish former labour otherwise empty room in doncaster was thejewish former labour mp who lost her seat at the last election, a cpap backed brexit. keir starmer did not really dwell too much on brexit, most people will know him as one of the leading voices in parliament calling for a second brexit referendum but really this was him trying to introduce himself to people, it is pretty hard at the moment with the political landscape dominated by coronavirus to get his voice heard, but he wanted to talk in broad terms about his values. at this point he will not be coming up with very detailed policy. this is what he had to say. we need to think about the question to 2024 and 20305, not the questions of the past. if anything, 20305, not the questions of the past. ifanything, covid has quickened the pace. the challenges we now face mean even the questions

that reference to security was designed to address what was seen as a weak spot under jeremy corbyn but win the last election — labour lost it. we have granted the tories a decade of power. the tories have had as many election winners in five years as we've had 75. it's a betrayal of what we believe in to let this go on. it's time to get serious about winning. he distanced himself from the last labour leader and then from the conservatives, but his blunt attack on borisjohnson wasn't so much about policy as character. whilst borisjohnson was writing flippant columns about bendy bananas, i was defending victims and prosecuting terrorists. while he was being sacked by a newspaperfor making up quotes, i was fighting forjustice and the rule of law. but he said it would not be enough for voters to lose trust in the conservatives. we're not going to win back those we've lost with a single speech or a clever policy offer. trust takes time. to those who have turned away from labour, i say this — we hear you. instead of specific policies, he had priorities to close the attainment gap in educatio

you lead to serious charges at the jeremy corbyn project, did you not?n recognising the scale of the loss. it does mean making it clear that never again will the labour party go into an election not being trusted on national security, not being trusted on the economy, not being trusted on the economy, not being trusted on communities. that is very important to us going forward and i was making the point yesterday that i did not come into politics to be in opposition. i came in politics to be cut —— to pay —— change muscles up and i speak for the whole labour movement. but for people to trust you they have to trust what you do. you told us that you believe in moral socialism which did not some very concrete. now you are promising in 2024 people will hear the sound of the future arriving. what on earth does that mean impressed tax? and brass tacks i want this country to be the best place to grow up the best place to grow old and the best place to grow then. i think that is very clear, and at times we have got a lot of what the public are concerned about an

sir keir starmer will call on voters who abandoned labour under jeremy corbyn to return to the partyp. in his first party conference speech as labour leader, which is being held online this year due to the pandemic. sir keir will also focus on his personal values of patriotism and family. people are being advised to get a flu jab to help protect against the "double danger" of flu and coronavirus. research shows people can catch both diseases at the same time, with serious and sometimes deadly consequences. this year anyone over 50 in england is eligible for a jab — more than ever before. our health correspondent, naomi grimley has more. prevention is always the best form of health care. that is why dry then centres like this one in southampton will help the biggest flu vaccination programme england has ever seen. vaccination programme england has ever seen. it comes as new research suggests there is a particular danger if people contract covid—i9 and three together. flu and covid-19 are doubly dangerous. they increase the risk of you having hospitalisation, being admitted to acu, and

thank goodness that jeremy corbyn is not running the country. that is what i am saying. few days? we make a formal announcement once a week on this and so i do not wish to prejudge that by announcing it on your show even though i would love to. but it is looking quite likely if you look at the data. what i would say is that it is very much data driven and you are right to raise that. it is very much driven by data and it is a decision that we ta ke by data and it is a decision that we take and if we have to introduce quarantine we do that with a heavy heart. the people should not travel u nless heart. the people should not travel unless they are prepared, if the situation changes in the country they are going to, if they are not prepared to quarantine and we will make a formal announcement very shortly. thank you forjoining us on brea kfast. 7:45am is the time. we are talking about lionel messi, will he, won‘t he? the biggest question is what the biscuit negotiation will be. i am not letting go of biscuits today. i am obsessed. you never let go of the biscuits. i don't s

through, he got the biggest majority in 100 and 50 years because the people were so afraid of jeremy corbyn socialism because they had experienced it. that's the kind of socialism, that the best comparison for america and what we would experience with that type of turn. , aftere thing if i could the election, the two people talking about wanting us to come together. 9/11 there was a lot of stuff. america has always been this way. i've spent a lot of time reading history. i just finished with john beauchamp's book on thomas jefferson. the second inaugural address thomas jefferson, he lamented and lambasted the press for the same kind of reasons donald trump does today. host: thank you for the call. in 1979.thatcher won many saw that as a precursor to the election of ronald reagan. is there a parallel today with great britain in the u.s.? i think you could make that argument. and a lot of times it's happened in ways, our cultures are very similar. every action has an equal and opposite reaction. and so president obama was a reaction to president bush and president trump was a reaction to bara
