the conservative government has delivered on ukraine, the pandemic, brexit, even referring to jeremy corbyn, who he managed to beat to office. they sounded tired, frankly. tom: i have got two ways to go, let me first ask this. i have been watching like everyone in america a very british scandal, 50, 60 years ago of another scandal, and the outrage here, we heard the gentleman from labour talking about this, is this about sex and scandals or much more/ -- much more? lizzy: it is about the character of orest johnson. the word that was used -- the character orest johnson. the word that was used was integrity. they could not defend the constantly changing line about what boris johnson knew about chris pincher in public anymore, but it is related to sex scandals. but that adds on to the partygate issuing cost of living crisis. it has been the straw that has broken the camels back. tom: we have seen this before. i've witnessed it, the fire is so radically different than what we see in america. jon, how different is labour from corbyn to starmer? jonathan: he is meant to be more of a centrist and

he didn't really seem to pay much of a political price because labour was so disorganised under jeremy corbynosition that does seem to have a pulse, although it doesn't have that kind of inevitability that somehow tony blair had 15 years ago of a young man who knew what he was doing and had the whole system going with them, it doesn't feel like it's quite caught on there. but they'd better play for the centre because the labour party is 13 points ahead in the polls now. even though the ones who brought them, the conservatives are so used to doing that now they may not know how to appeal to the centre very easily, they will have to do it if they're --oin to win. yes. just across the channel we see a president beleaguered because he lost his parliamentary majority. whoever becomes prime minister of britain has the security of the parliamentary majority, that might be deceptive in terms of their power and the ability to get things done. it's difficult to compare the two countries because we have a presidential system, you have a parliamentary one. to think that 160,000 or so people are choosing

that's what jeremy corbyn said in the last election. there are no other countries raising taxes.cribed our current policy as contractionary, and contractionary essentially means policies that lead to a recession. so, understood, so you would make a gamble on growth. what i am saying, keep taxes low, do the supply side reforms, get growth going. that is the way to increase tax revenues. so, what i want to do is increase tax revenues by growing the economy. not choke off growth by raising taxes. will borrowing that sort of money... no other country is... no other country is following that strategy. following this strategy. will borrowing billions of pounds, you say over £13 billion, increase or decrease inflation? my tax cuts will decrease inflation. really?! because what they do... can you point to a single chancellor, a single governor of the bank of england, a single leading economist who thinks that cutting taxes with borrowed money does anything other than increase inflation? patrick minford, who has written an article about it this weekend. there's one. he is distinguished in

it's much more pro—brexit and any position that jeremy corbyn never took as the labour leader.er of the labour party and the european parliament when we were still there. he's criticised it as well and says he disagrees at this position. so i think, basically, it's about having a position on brexit, we are not afraid to talk about it. partlyjust making a statement saying that, but also i think the other part of it is it is trying to talk to us that labour is in government, a party of government, i think this is something that all the shadow teams under kier starmer�*s leadership has been really wanting to do. it applies definitely to spending commitments.— applies definitely to spending commitments. ~ ., �* , . ., commitments. wouldn't his critics arc ue commitments. wouldn't his critics ara ue that commitments. wouldn't his critics argue that a _ commitments. wouldn't his critics argue that a real— commitments. wouldn't his critics argue that a real political- argue that a real political leadership would actually stick to your principles. he doesn't believe in didn't believe t

labour party, the two real reasons that we kept hearing again and again in surveys was brexit and jeremy corbynover the past decade. our business reporter, noor nanji told us more about the pressures facing uk pubs. the pub has been the mainstay of british life for hundreds of years, but there are growing concerns that in england and wales at least, this much loved institution is coming under concern. these risks have been raised by a consultancy firm, and what they said was that, although pubs manage to battle through coronavirus with all the challenges that brought, such as lock downs and social distancing, and all of those other pressures, they are now facing a whole new set of challenges and those are things like rising costs and energy bills. as a result, according to this consultancy group, 400 pubs in england and wales closed last year, and in the last half of this year —— first half, another had disappeared. that takes the total number to below 40,000, the lowest number to below 40,000, the lowest number on record. it�*s the west midlands, london and the east of england that, according

picket line was visited earlier by mick lynch from the rmt and also the former labour leader, jeremy corbynthe union representing train drivers. two more strike dates by the rmt have been called for next month, so it looks like the disruption for passengers is going to continue. tomos morgan is at cardiff central station. what is the situation where you are? well, just speaking to one of the workers here from transport for wales that are not in dispute with any of the unions at the moment. they are saying the fateful day saw this morning on some of the busiest commuter lines coming down from the south wales valleys into the welsh capital is about 10% of what we usually see on a weekday and in cardiff central, they will be seeing around ten to 20% of the routes that usually run across wales, there's about 12% running. nothing going up to north wales from cardiff today. just one per hour on one of the busiest lines all the way over to london as well. it was interesting earlier, few people travelling in wales today. they knew of the strikes but they didn't realise it would cause such an impact

remember he got us out of a terrible constitutional i out of a terrible constitutional crisis, big jeremy corbyness we can remember boris save this country from a massive crisis and thank goodness he has agreed to go. we did it all go so horribly wrong over the past weeks and months? it’s it all go so horribly wrong over the past weeks and months?— past weeks and months? it's very clear that this _ past weeks and months? it's very clear that this has _ past weeks and months? it's very clear that this has been _ past weeks and months? it's very clear that this has been about i past weeks and months? it's veryj clear that this has been about the handling ultimately of the chris pincher affair. that's the moment crystallised in the minds of ministers they could not support the government. this has not been about like me that free marketeers not liking what he has been doing, we accepted what he was, what has happened is ministers have seen, they referred to a lack of honesty and integrity and we cannot have that and better he goes now and dragging on to the privileges committee. what has the mood b
