jeremy corbyn, who is leaving. jeremy corbyn, who is leaving. jeremy corbyn, who is leaving. is still in place, as is shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell. the corbyn‘s close aides are still in place, all the people who presided over the worst labour defeat in decades are still in their roles, so why is that? the alternative is for everyone to walk away and leave a vacuum. people have said they will be leaving. it's important to have some element of continuity. that's acceptable to most people. we have had a heavy defeat. jeremy has accepted responsibility, and we must find a way of moving forward. this is the way of moving forward. this is the way to do it. people are now emerging, expressing their interest in leadership roles. i want to hear what they have to say. some suspect it's actually about making sure corbynism continues, even ifjeremy corbynism continues, even ifjeremy corbyn himself has to go. when we have a new leader, i will have one vote, i will be one amongst half a million people, and they will select who the leader of the party will be. this is an opportunity for

corbyn candidate. keir starmer has put his head above the parapet today. but his message is fairly new ones, he is not criticising jeremy corbyn or the ma nifesto criticising jeremy corbyn mps who think the plight of the party is much greater than he suggests. but the difficulty is to get any chance in this race, you have to win the backing of the membership, who are overwhelmingly still proud jeremy corbyn. so you have to strike a very careful message and you cannot go out there like tony blair has done and simply wiped the floor with jeremy corbyn and corbynism. 0k, norman, thank you very much. a court in tokyo has ordered a prominent tvjournalist to pay just under £23,000 in damages to a woman who accused him of rape in 2017. shiori ito, a film—maker and activist broke her silence in 2017 and was seeking compensation from noriyuki yamaguchi. mariko 0i has more details. well, the amount he was ordered to pay in damages is not a lot, but this is a landmark case, because it's highly unusual for people injapan to speak up that they've been raped. in fact, the authorities estimate that only 4% of them came forward in 2017. and that's way shiori became the face ofjapan's m

jeremy corbyn. as we've been hearing, the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell also apologised for the loss — but did partially blame the media's portrayal of the jeremy corbyn. portrayal of ——jeremyit is on me, let's take it on the chin, i own this disaster, so i apologise to all those wonderful labour mps who have lost their seats who have worked so hard, i apologise to all our campaigners, but most of all i apologise to those people who desperately need a labour government. and, yes, if anyone is to blame, it is me — full stop. we have to recognise... i think it was brexit that did it. we were in this horns of a dilemma, we couldn't move either way, or if we did and we tried to compromise, it didn't work. that is the first thing. the second — we have to recognise that, look, the media did a number onjeremy for four years solid every day. let me just finish this. every attack, every smear was going on. and they transposed someone who i know as a man of honesty and principle into someone demonised in a way no other politician on this scale has been done before, and i deeply regret that. john mcdonnell talking to andrew marr. well, as we've mentioned, downing street has confirmed

jeremy corbyn going straight ahead and jeremy corbyn was a few steps ahead of borisjohnson, refused to look him in the eye. borisjohnson to try to engage me in conversation. the picture does tell the story of how furious and isolated jeremy we saw two months ago but this time, we are all taking it seriously. this is. this is their plan and a large emphasis, the biggest emphasis is on brexit, get it done. but apart from that, there's some meat on the bones. it done. but apart from that, there's some meat on the bonesm is quite an interesting contrast between the rather dumpy messages during the campaign from the opposition parties. we have to stop brexit it will, the scottish national party, labour saying that it was all falling apart and boris talking

jeremy corbyn's fireside banter involved reading out mean tweets. can someone tell me who jeremy corbyn is? the next prime minister. in an age of information overload, our attention is the most precious resource. voters today are more often scanning, strolling and skimming scanning, scrolling and skimming through digital headlines than furrowing deep into stories. online, the distinction between news and noise can be hard to fathom, and never more so than in an election. amol rajan, bbc news. the main parties have put different issues at the top of their manifestos, from brexit to the nhs. but where do they stand on the key questions upper most in voters' minds? we've asked our team of correspondents, to take a look. brexit, it's why the election is happening on the issue that will dominate afterwards. the conservatives want a majority to get boris johnson's conservatives want a majority to get borisjohnson's deal conservatives want a majority to get boris johnson's deal through parliament unchanged to end our membership of the eu at the end of january. then there will be a transition period where eu law still applies and negotiations with brussels over trade, security and other matters. some of the brexit party except the prime minister wasn't deal and some don't but they wa nt to wasn't deal and some don't but they want to win seats of their own to keep an eye on him as he delivers it. labour would negotiate a close economic relationship with the eu, they would put that and the option of remaining to a public vote after six months. jeremyms and snp wants a referendum too and they would campaign to stay in, although a lib dem government would cancel brexit altogether. all sorts of promises have been made by the parties on the nhs. tens of thousands more doctors, nurses and other health staff, more investment in mental health and front line services. so, what does it all add up services. so, what does it all add ? services. so, what does it all add up to? well, many health leaders say the pledges don't go far enough to address a fundamental problem. that is the relentlessly rising demand for patient care and the fact that nhs resources and staffing simply haven't kept up. closing that gap will take time and money. cutting waiting lists and modernising services even more. training new staff and getting them into clinical posts could take several years, so that's a lot for the next government to face up to. never mind the challenges of a potentially difficult winter in the months ahead. living longer is great when you can

jeremy corbyn. what final message will we hear from corbyn. what final message will we hearfrom jeremy corbyn. what final message will we hear from jeremyers ahead of tomorrow?” think we will hear much of the same sort of themes we've been hearing over the last few weeks, but i think those parties are starting to concentrate particularly on their core messages and the closing days of the campaign. not only that, they are trying to crisscross the country visiting as many constituencies as possible as well and that is what jeremy corbyn has been doing. he started off this week frantic campaigning with a big rally in bristol, he then went up the west coast of the country and they got up glasgow come overnighting there and has crossed down the east side of the country and today. he will end up the country and today. he will end up here very shortly, travelling 400 miles ina up here very shortly, travelling 400 miles in a day, visiting constituencies in doing some speeches and of course this rally here later as well. i think in terms of those core messages, while conservatives are trying to concentrate on brexit, labour has been concentratin

have somebody who looks very different from jeremy corbyn and from borisjohnson, different from jeremy corbyn and from boris johnson, then different from jeremythey can perhaps get people into the party to dilate the left—wing membership. so do what they left it exactly to them. whether they can be successful, who knows? it is perhaps less exciting for the saudis to bring it back to the centre. the other point is in terms of the message itself, how they calibrated, i feel assault on message itself, how they calibrated, ifeel assault onjeremy message itself, how they calibrated, i feel assault onjeremy corbyn's policies, perhaps having too many policies, perhaps having too many policies all at once, sounding like the conveyor belt of the generation game, so the conveyor belt of the generation game, so many the conveyor belt of the generation game, so many gifts at once the can even remember them. passengers are being advised to check train times before travelling from tomorrow, as major timetable changes are introduced. rail companies say journey times will be cut, services made more frequent, and new routes added — following investment in inf

jeremy corbyn was simply "ba nter". for the conservatives, borisjohnson has warned a hung parliament would mean more uncertainty over brexit. here's our political correspondent, chris mason. the last slog towards election day is under way. jeremy corbyn outside manchester. all the parties want to talk up what they see as their key messages. and we will hear from jeremy but first, stuff happens in election. a private chat between a shadow cabinet member and a friend who is a conservative activist is leaked and the labour man is candid about his pa rty‘s the labour man is candid about his party's prospects. i think it is dire for labour. like my of my colleagues, i back the line. it is off for them. it is... it isa line. it is off for them. it is... it is a combination of corbyn and brexit. mr ashworth insists it has been selectively leaked. you said more than once the situation for labour is dire. he is also saying, ohjeremy corbyn is going to win, it isjoshing ohjeremy corbyn is going to win, it is joshing around and ohjeremy corbyn is going to win, it isjoshing around and he has leaked it. i can't believe it. jeremy corbyn‘s not dwelling on that, but instead saying this. we have now got until thursday night to win this election. thursday night to save the nhs. nurse night to end child poverty in britain, to end homelessness in britain and to build

jeremy corbyn was simply banter. tonight, jeremy corbyn says he still has his full support. for the conservatives, borisjohnson has warned a hung parliament would mean more uncertainty about brexit. chanting: 0h, jeremy corbyn! those nails might be nibbled down to the quick by friday. this election matters so much in so many ways. the crowd in the cold in lancashire tried to keep warm with a song. but it's hope, not confidence, here. i'm just hoping it's a miracle and that people are wrong and that labour people get out and vote. the tories are just not taking care of business. they are not taking care of the people of this country. a miracle will happen, yeah, and boris johnson will get his just desserts. eventually, the leader emerged. cheering chanting: 0h, jeremy corbyn! don't get tired, get invigorated by the rain. get invigorated by the cold. get brisk in your walking, but also knock on all those doors and on friday you'll have an early christmas present. thank you very much! except even in his home crowd, questions chase him. mr corbyn, can i ask you aboutjon ashworth‘s comments? do you agree withjon ashworth‘s comments that you can't win, mr corbyn? one of his allies, jon ashworth, the shadow

jeremy corbyn in swansea. and you have the local labour party leader, welsh labour. good afternoon. good afternoon, even. jeremy corbyn came here this morning and went to one of the target seats in the vale of glamorgan where he met the welsh first minister and has given a speech in swansea to around 1000 people and this is his first visit to wales during this election campaign andi visit to wales during this election campaign and i will turn to the first minister of wales, mark dra keford. first minister of wales, mark drakeford. your speech first minister of wales, mark dra keford. your speech reduced first minister of wales, mark drakeford. your speech reduced some members to tears. pundits and opinion polls suggest that labour is struggling in wales somewhat. could you have done withjeremy corbyn coming to visit a bit sooner rather than a few days before the election? it is fantastic to have jeremy weekend but it does not ta ke in the final weekend but it does not take a general election to bring jeremy corbyn to wales. he was here in the summerand jeremy corbyn to wales. he was here in the summer and in the autumn and in swansea when i was with him back in septemberand he in swansea when i was with him back in september and he is in swansea when i was with him back in septemberand he is here in swansea when i was with him back in september and he is here again today, helping us to take our message in all parts of wales and as the polling day gets nearer, mines are concentrated on the real choice that faces us. more of the tories with austerity and cuts and threats to the nhs or real hope for the future. why do you think the opinion polls in wales and across the uk as well as pundits say that labour is struggling across so many of your held seats and struggling to make gains in target areas? that was an opinion poll published for wales that showed labour making strong advances.

jeremy corbyn says he is cool withjohn end. jeremy corbyn says he is cool with john ashworth end. jeremy withjohn ashworth as well? yes, john is a good friend of mine, i spoke to him last night. did you to him? can you tell us? were you laughing or worried about it?|j said, chin up. these things happen to everyone. especially me! on the four day week, let's not be —— and let's be clear, we never said a four—day week. resentful 32 hours a week over time. this next ten years, as we grow the economy, become more productive, let's start reducing the working week, 32 hours on average by the end of a decade. we will only do that as we grow the economy. that way, we all share in the wealth that we create either by way of our incomes, rising wages, or have we have done for the last century and a half by reducing the working week and have longer holidays. it is about quality of life. and have longer holidays. it is about quality of lifelj and have longer holidays. it is about quality of life. i want to ask you about something you said during this campaign. you said labour's policies can save fami

corbyn is a bit of a blockage. i have been talking to labour candidates and jeremy corbyn has a very dedicated fan base“ labour candidates and jeremy corbyncated fan base if you like. he is a big problem on the doorstep and one candidate said to me this morning that people raised jeremy corbyn as being a —5 times more than the brexit policy and it has been one of the things, both candidates have really big detractors, one of the characteristics is that they have big critics inside of their own party, as well as externally. the labour party knows that they do have in the polls bear the site is much as we should pay attention to them. they do have a problem around the public perception of the leader. they have their own problems, and it isa they have their own problems, and it is a big part of the picture. joe, of the liberal democrats, but today she had. protesters dressed up as bees and then she got stoned by andrew neil. the central picture that you would, address brexit without a second referendum, that falls away since that lived in majority government. we have set out very clearly that we want to stop brexit in every scenario, we will

a serious blow against his own argument againstjeremy corbyn. blow against his own argument against jeremy corbyn. but is there against jeremy corbynnt of the scots ? a problem with the consent of the scots? not in parliamentary terms, no, because he has a huge majority. his majority is in england. it's in westminster. it is in the westminster. it is in the westminster parliament. whatever he decides he can do. there would be a political price to pay but if he decides that he wanted to be absolutely ruthless, given the snp have now swept the board and there are so have now swept the board and there are so few tories, i think one tory mp left in scotland. he can afford tojust do what mp left in scotland. he can afford to just do what he wants. that would be politically unwise in the long term but for the next year i think he has to keep to that promise that you will not be stuck with another referendum, meaning britain. is there something he can do to charm there something he can do to charm the scots at this point? no. scotla nd the scots at this point? no. scotland is moving away from england and wales or to put it a different way

than what is on offer from boris johnson and jeremy can be better than what is on offer from borisjohnson and jeremy corbyn andi from borisjohnson and jeremy corbynsqueeze going on but i'm not going to be deterred from standing up for the things i believe in and being true to myself in this campaign. 9:47am. nikki from croydon, good morning, what would you like to ask? so, i have a disabled freedom pass because i have schizophrenia and other mental health issues but i can't use it before 9:30am because people are going to work or whatever the reason is. what are you going to do to ove rco m e is. what are you going to do to overcome this because i can't use it to go to appointments or work or college, anything. nikki, thank you for raising this particular issue about the timing of the disabled freedom pass. i'm going to be straightforward with you and say it isn't something i know the detail of right now but i'm happy to go and look at it further. it seems like it would be something that makes sense to change. in terms of the general, wider issues, you're talking as somebody who is expressing mental health challenges. and i think it is shocking t

jeremy corbyn and the labour party hoped that it would. jeremy corbyn is campaigning in wales this morning. the labour party has said publishing the trade document was in the interest of the public and argued that the government should release a parliamentary report into russian involvement in the brexit referendum at the last election. the prime minister has answers to give what she refuses to do about russian donations, given to the tory party, oi’ donations, given to the tory party, or the report that he is sitting on about russian interference in british politics. of course there should be no interference in our british political system by donald trump or the russians. russia didn't crop up in the questions last night. the debate in which borisjohnson and jeremyn repeated their ma nifesto and jeremy corbyn repeated their manifesto election mantras. mr johnson focusing on brexit under labour leader focusing on public inequality and services. there were no shocks or surprises. with the final tv debate on this campaign is in its final phases. a final chance for the parties to pick holes in their opponents arguments and drive home their own messages. whilst tim johnson feels it has the advantage, this unpredictable election is far from over. ben wright, bbc news, in stockport. ajury in the united states has cleared the billionaire elon musk of defaming a british man involved in the rescue of a group of thai boys from a flooded cave last year. vernon unsworth took legal action after mr musk called him a "pedo guy" on twitter. from los angeles, dave lee reports. elon musk entered court on friday for the fourth and now final day of this trial. what has surely been the most intense, not to mention expensive, examination ever of a single tweet. how ma

this tweet gives us a sense of where the jeremy corbyn mindset is, she understands jeremy corbyn jeremyo stay in place until a leadership contest stay in place until a leadership co ntest ca n stay in place until a leadership contest can be held, which may not meana contest can be held, which may not mean a new labour leader until april. in your opinion is this what labour needs? no, ithink april. in your opinion is this what labour needs? no, i think we need to go intoa labour needs? no, i think we need to go into a leadership election night. it is not just go into a leadership election night. it is notjust the go into a leadership election night. it is not just the fact we have go into a leadership election night. it is notjust the fact we have lost four elections in a row. what is heartbreaking is that in this election we have gone further back than we were in 1983 under michael foot. we have tried it. for those of us who have been out on the doors and talking to people, brexit was an issue butjeremy corbyn was a bigger issue butjeremy corbyn was a bigger issue in many cases around t

at as a consequence, he is able to score real points against jeremy corbyn, which is not to say the jeremy corbynid that they came to this debate with a better explanation of the figures. that they were both willing to, it was we were both well prepared, which is what a lot of commentators. they came across as being the most accomplished of the encounters that we have seen during

jeremy corbyn, which is not to say the jeremy corbyn did not also come across as being rational and grown—up in his approach as well. some people said that they came to this debate with a better explanation of the figures. that they were both willing to, it was we were both well prepared, which is what a lot of commentators. they came across as being the most accomplished of the encounters that we have seen during the selection campaign. you are not impressed at all. they seem to have both won different aspects of the debate, interesting that the poll offered 52-48 in interesting that the poll offered 52—48 in favour of borisjohnson. but i think, generally speaking, this was not changing anything. if you are pro—boris johnson this was not changing anything. if you are pro—borisjohnson before, you're probably pro borisjohnson afterwards. and if you are with jeremye same thing. if you think that when we started having these us style leadership debates, they were able to really shift. there was something that you set down to watch because you did not quite know both going to happen and things may change. you may be persuaded by somebody and i watching these things, we just hate that guy and wanting to look bad and we like that diving wanting to do well and you do not get anything out of watching it the house at home tonight, i would watching it the house at home tonight, iwould not watching it the house at home tonight, i would not have watched it because despite the fact that this is myjob and i read about it and talk about it, i know what is going to happen in so many other people do as well, you just spare because there is no optimism and hope in something that actually looks like it might change massively one way or the other. there is a pull out tonight showing the borisjohnson is on 42% injeremy corbyn in on a3. suggesting on a2% injeremy c

either a liberal democrat maybe a green or jeremy corbyn even if you don't like jeremy cooper and the labor party just hold your nose because the saying is jeremy corbyn who is very he has even more negative ratings personal ratings of course johnson jeremy corbyn is for christmas but brags it is forever so there are many people who are hoping that labor can catch up and then the last days well on that note bigot let's take a closer look now at the labor party's election campaign and we'll continue our conversation after that. it's time for real change that's the message the labor party wants to get across to voters jeremy corbyn is pledging to nationalize utilities phone call money into public services and in years of austerity under the conservatives we've had 9 years in which 150 people have become millionaires in britain we've had 9 years during which 4000000 children are living in poverty don't you think it's time to get rid of the government that brought that about. the poll ratings show labor training. conservatives corbin has struggled to put down allegations that he's allowed anti semitism to thrive in the party earlier this year 8 lawmakers

jeremy corbyn was simply "ba nter". for the conservatives, borisjohnson has warned a hung parliament would mean more uncertainty about brexit. here's our political correspondent, chris mason. the last slog towards election day is under way. jeremy corbyn in blackrod outside manchester. all the parties want to talk up what they see as their key messages. and we'll hear from jeremybyn in a moment. but, first, stuff happens in elections. a private chat between a shadow cabinet minister and a friend, who's a conservative activist is leaked, and the labour front—bencher is candid about his party's prospects. i mean, going round these national places, it's dire for labour. it is dire. and my strategy is to try to help as many of my colleagues back over the line. erm, i've been banging on about the nhs in their areas for them. but it's awful for them. and it is... it's a combination of corbyn and brexit. mr ashworth insists it has been selectively leaked. look, right... is this great? no. i look stupid, i know i do. you don't believe a word of what you said. i'm trying to wind him up, right? and the reason this has come out today is because the tories know that the crisis in the nhs is ruining their campaign. a pointjeremy corbyn wanted to focus on. we've now got until thursday night to win this election, thursday night to save the nhs, thursday night to end child po

jeremy corbyn is out of the picture? the fabric of the labor picture -- we could see wild swings in the markets. jeremy: the threat of a jeremy corbynwas a bigger worry in many ways. then any form of brexit. that was the big story last night, the complete distraction of jeremy corbyn's vision and that socialist vision for britain. which direction will the labour party go? corbyn that mr. jeremy was trying to line up successors to take the mantle when he steps aside. the rupture now is so big they may have to change tacts. labor issueiggest we need a big overhaul. it is really suggesting that markets were not happy with labor not having any idea what would happen with brexit. i think that is what markets wanted to see. pooja, thank you for joining us. pooja kumra will stay with us. stretch, thankful that you had stayed with us. david merritt, up all night running point on our coverage here of all things britain and brexit. later today as royal bank of scotland group surges, rbs up almost 10%. we will speak to the chairman of that bank, howard delay. that is not the only big bank gaining. workplace gaining 8%. barclays gaining a perce

jeremy corbyn's career is going in a different direction. let's get the market reaction. -- a couplewill get of comments coming through. jeremy corbyn standing down. he will not lead the party into the next general election. the labour party faces humiliation in the general election. jeremyn admitting that it'd been very disappointing. support crumbled in many of the labour party's heartland. let's look at to the pound, jumping up the most against the dollar in about 2.5 years. the euro falling against the pound. we have this phase i trade deal looking like it is in the back. the onshore currency jumping the most in year against the dollar and a lot of money going into the korean won, always seen as a bellwether for these trade talks. bonds, it is certainly risk on across asia today. the nikkei is up by 2.5%, holding at october highs. hong kong's market having its best day in about a month. china's market getting a boost on the back of the surge of the yuan. you can see the risk on move reflected in the bond market. have a look at the yield on australia's two-year note. anna: a lot of risk on this evening. bring us up-to-date. >> here are my top three takeaways. we learned from the exit polls a few hours ago, all of those former labour seats are turning blue tonight as t

and jeremy corbyn was not labour campaigners out on the campaign, there are a lot of habitual labour voters who said they don't want to see jeremy corbyn in numberten they don't want to see jeremyon has his issues of trust, too. today, that thorny issue of the irish border after brexit flared up again. it was boris johnson border after brexit flared up again. it was borisjohnson insisting goods would flow back and forwards between the island of ireland and the mainland of great britain without stops and checks and set a government report that said the opposite was wrong. ministers in his own government contradict that and by the way, tomorrow's financial times carries a report on another government, a report that disputes boris johnson's government, a report that disputes borisjohnson's claim that britain could be ready to leave the eu clea nly could be ready to leave the eu cleanly at the end of december 2020. it is not just cleanly at the end of december 2020. it is notjust about cleanly at the end of december 2020. it is not just about who cleanly at the end of december 2020. it is notjust about who the voters decide to trust but arguing about who they choose to trust least

actually is probably wasn't as clear—cut, it wasn't just jeremy corbyn, everyone was talking aboutjeremy jeremy corbyn, everyone was talking about jeremyved in is, it is all very well replacing jeremy corbyn, but there are still a lot of people there, not necessarily people that others want to vote for. thank you very much. you‘re watching bbc election 2019. welcome to viewers on bbc world news, as we digest the conservatives‘ big win in the uk general election. first, let‘s cross the newsroom and joinjane hill, who has a summary of the day‘s big developments. you are watching election 2019. here is a summary of the latest news. he the conservatives have won their biggest general election majority since margaret thatcher in 1987, after claiming scores of seats from labour in its traditional heartlands in the north of england. the party now has a commons majority of 80. the prime minister, borisjohnson, addressed the nation from downing street this afternoon, saying the conservatives‘ resounding victory gives him the people‘s mandate to pursue britain‘s withdrawalfrom the european union. he urged "everyone to find closure and to let the

jeremy corbyn definitely would. jeremy corbyn has called his pa rty‘s performance in the election "disappointing" and laid out his plans for what happens next... well, the national executive will have to meet, of course, in the very near future and it's up to them. they will make that decision, not me. but what i hope is that there will be a period when we can have a good discussion within the party and i think that's healthy and to be very welcome. and i hope those that were inspired by our manifesto will actuallyjoin the party and take part in that discussion. it's up to them to set a programme for when an election will take place. it'll be in the early part of next year sometime. because quite often, leaders stand down straightaway after a general election defeat like this. this is a catastrophic defeat. many people would expect you to stand down straightaway? i was elected to lead the party and i think the responsible thing to do is not to walk away from the whole thing. i won't do that. i will stay here until there has been someone elected to succeed me and i will step down at that point. let's now talk to the new conservative mp for wrexham, sarah atherton. she is the first ever conservative mp for the area. congratulations on your win this week. what does borisjohnson now have to do to make sure that you are not voted out in five years time? borisjohnson has a part to play. he has to deliver on brexit but i am also with a part to play. like your report before in leigh, the same situation is coming up in wrexham and asa situation is coming up in wrexham and as a conservative mp, i have to prove to them that i can deliver. notjust prove to them that i can deliver. not just about brexit prove to them that i can deliver. notjust about brexit but prove to them that i can deliver. not just about brexit but the closure and healing process and addressing some of the issues we have here in wrexham. specifically what needs to happen? we've had a lot of talk about one nation conservatism and spending that specifically, what is needed? here there are two concerns, the town centre but also the nhs, more importantly. it's run by a welsh labour government and we've had a labour government and we've had a labour assembly member before. services have deteriorated and gone down, people can see that when they look out their windows. that's why i think they want change when they come to the conservative party. my role would be to try and influence and scrutinise the nhs as a social worker and a nurse. i have the skills to do that. in terms of the doorstep when you were campaigning, what were people saying to you? were you surprised at the fact labour did not take the seat? i wasn't, actually. from the thursday we were getting a positive response from the wards where we would not ordinarily have had that support and what they we re have had that support and what they were clearly saying is that they wa nt were clearly saying is that they want brexit delivered, 59% of wrexham voted to leave, it was not delivered. and secondly they wanted the democratic will of the people upheld. when you say they wanted brexit done, what are they expecting will improve in their daily lives as a result? they want to be able to move on. all of the focus, including here in wales, is on brexit. the talk is brexit 21w. they feel other issues have been neglected. brexit was an argument put forward by the conservative party. in practical terms, what will brexit deliver for your constituents that improves their daily lives? £1.9 billion has been offered from the uk government to the welsh labour government to improve our health service. until brexit is delivered, these sorts of pledges of money cannot come into wales, orfurther employment opportunities or business opportunities, and secure further growth. we cannot do that until this year.. growth. we cannot do that until this year. . . why growth. we cannot do that until this year. .. why not, why can the money not be pledged anyway? the focus is on getting brexit done. but that was a conservative i’ow. on getting brexit done. but that was a conservative row. what i don't understand is your constituents have said they think their lives will improve from this as a result of brexit happening. as i said, further focus supports concentration, money will then be released through the democratic parliamentary process and that will then be spent on services that will then be spent on services that they want to see improved. the nhs and the town centre. and you think that the deal, ultimately, is done next year? that people will come together? unify, if you like. the leave— remain split will go away? when you start seeing improvements locally, and there is less talk about brexit and mps deliver, then yes. i think we will heal. there is an interest to move on. and are there any concerns about boris johnson's on. and are there any concerns about borisjohnson‘s leadership on. and are there any concerns about boris johnson's leadership or was on. and are there any concerns about borisjohnson‘s leadership or was he a bus on the doorstep, as far as you we re a bus on the doorstep, as far as you were concerned? by and large he is a plus. i've no concerns about his leadership. he has been very clear on brexit and i'm pleased he's mentioned one nation conservatism. we can move on to social responsibility, active global leadership, and i'm pleased that he has made the shift in tone and focus. and in terms of that brexit deal next year, there are concerns as to whether you can deliver a complex trade agreement in the timeframe boris johnson has complex trade agreement in the timeframe borisjohnson has set. given the january deadline will happen, do you think if that longer term proper deal is not done, people will be worried, or not? the idea is to get the transition period finished by next year. i think people will see improvements locally, there may be some flexibility but i would like to see what we have pledged on it. many thanks indeed. you will be taking your place this week, when are you coming to westminster? sunday for a monday etienne stott! -- eight o'clock in the morning start. let's now talk to the new labour mp for putney, fleur anderson. putney was labour's only seat gain from the conservatives at this general election. congratulations, why did you manage to succeed when everyone else clearly failed ? to succeed when everyone else clearly failed? thank you very much. many other labour mps one that i am very disappointed to be the only gain. i expected to be walking into parliament next week with a lot of new labour mps beside me. this is quite sad for me. but i'm delighted to have won here in putney and we've been focusing our campaign on those things that are really important for people in putney. brexit is important. we are internationally minded. that was our main issue but also issues about the nhs and our schools cuts came up strongly. i will be going in fighting on those issues. the remain argument seems to be completely over now with this massive tory victory. shouldn't jeremyy? why is he going to hang on? every time we have these tory leaders immediately leaving us in the lurch, that is not a good way to carry on. an orderly reflection, taking ourtime and carry on. an orderly reflection, taking our time and making sure we do this in a controlled and responsible way, rather than just walking off the next day, is absolutely the right thing to do. and i appreciate that you are fresh into the role as a new mp but who would you want to be leading the party next? i haven't thought about that at all! really, i've been focusing so much on our campaign in putneyin focusing so much on our campaign in putney in talking to so many people in persuading so many different types of people across the constituency to vote for labour, whether they were voting wholeheartedly for the first time, many people said they were, and saying labour have their answer all saying labour have their answer all saying this is tactical, we will lend you our vote, that's what i've been focusi

jeremy corbyn‘s hopes came crashing down. in a jeremy corbyn's hopes came crashing down. in a fateful moment, ju5t jeremy corbyn'sn. in a fateful moment, just as he took to the stage in islington, sedgefield, the seat of tony blair, held by labour for all time, sedgefield, the seat of tony blair, held by labourfor all time, broke for borisjohnson too. the foundations of labour‘s victories pa55 crumbling before our eyes, the party falling more heavily where people voted lee. the lib dems had a crushing night too. just a few weeks ago,jo crushing night too. just a few weeks ago, jo swinson claimed she could be prime minister. in the middle of the night, though, she even lost her own place in parliament. she closed the day neither an mp nor a party leader. all of us who share an alternative vi5ion leader. all of us who share an alternative vision for society have alternative vision for society have a responsibility to learn from this result and find new answers. they lost at the hands of the tories and the snp too, who cleaned up. look at the snp too, who cleaned up. look at the first minister, unable to hide her gl

jeremy corbyn. i was a lwa ys first base. —— jeremy corbyn. i was always conscious of the fact that if you have a referendum and don't immediate implement that you will have that democratic problem. we never found a way to address that and the reason for that is, i was pa rt and the reason for that is, i was part of people's boat campaign, i was trying to get a second referendum. i think that is a perfectly legitimate thing to do. the parties, they are in a very different position and i think the labour party's different position and i think the labour pa rty‘s decision different position and i think the labour party's decision from day one, instead of being swot along with the will of the people, will of the people, will of the people, no criticism can be raised against bragg had said, ok, this is happened, we have to respect the result, the government has to go on negotiate the best terms of agreement and we are entitled to judge that on its merits when they bring it back instead of which, leg got dragged... you're wanting to say in the end whatever the government doesin in the end whatever the government does in terms of brexit has to be thrown back to the people but there was one moment in this brexit process. . . was one moment in this brexit process... the argument, if the labour party, at that time, had set that out as a long—term strategy. let me quote you and i don't want to get too stuck on brexit but let me quote you the son of lord kenrick who led the labour party in a time of crisis, his son stephen sits in the house of commons, he said, the decision to back a second referendum rather than ultimately going with theresa may's deal, perhaps venus it a little bit to ensure the customs union was very much a part of the deal, make it as labourfriendly as possible, work with theresa may to get over the line. the decision not to go with that but go for a second referendum was the worst political decision in the history of the labour party. this is exactly what i mean. people who want in this aftermath to say that whatever it was they were advising, if only we listened to them and i don't accept that. if the labour party had been the party viewed by the public as having delivered theresa may's deal, the idea that would have been electorally sensible politics for labour is at a fantasy so i'm afraid, stephen is a very old friend of mine, we are very old family friends but i think this is a self—serving nonsense. friends but i think this is a self-serving nonsense. well, let's talk then aboutjeremy corbyn and his style of politics. you have made no secret of your frankly contempt of much of what he has done over the last couple of years and yetjeremy corbyn, in 2017, led a labour party which is many of his left—wing friends point out, got 40% of the vote, and saw labour actually surprise you, surprise all of the pundits with its relative success. the same jeremyhe samejeremy corbyn that pundits with its relative success. the same jeremy corbyn that you pundits with its relative success. the samejeremy corbyn that you are saying, i knew he'd lost, he couldn't possibly win. i've been fairly consistent. i don't have contempt, by the way. i think that he was elected leader, he made the decision to take the labour party in a direction that i have always felt will never win. i've never budged from that opinion. that doesn't mean that in 2017i from that opinion. that doesn't mean that in 20171 couldn't say yes, before to much campaign than i expected him to but that became one of the seeds of the disaster that we now have because 2017, no two elections are the same, 2017, he was up elections are the same, 2017, he was up against theresa may, not boris johnson, theresa may, possibly the worst campaign with ever seen in a election battlefield. borisjohnson, whatever you say, i've got a lot to say about him, he is a campaigner. the second thing is back

jeremy corbyn? i would not want to comment on jeremy is. jeremy corbyn? remy corbyn either. because i don't think either political leader is setting out to make political points, we got into political discourse on this. does anybody here thinkjeremy corbyn and borisjohnson aren't anybody here thinkjeremy corbyn and boris johnson aren't setting out to score political points? introduce yourself. i'm colin, i retired dentist and trustee of north berwick day centre. i do think, listened to borisjohnson being interviewed by andrew moore and i thought his performance was disgraceful, i haven't heard jeremy corbyn ‘s comments but i suspect he will be doing exactly the same and these lovely people, saskia and jack, combating exactly the thing they are trying to portray, they were trying to help prisoners get back into society and they were working with this chap when he savagely turned on them, it's an appalling act and i think it shouldn't be brought into the political sphere. will it change 01’ the political sphere. will it change or influence, perhaps i should

jeremy corbyn to announce he will not go for reelection. while that was mostly about brexit over the week and bernie sanders tried to distance himself from jeremy corbyn dismissing comparisons between them, look. >> jeremyons, we are not quite dealing with bricks that here and the other issues that impact the u.k. >> but in 2017 sanders praises the labor leaders and saying a similarity between them. >> he has taken on the establishment and gone to the grassroots and tried to transform that party here. >> he is viewed as a significant candidate such as sanders or elizabeth warren but joe biden the ladder in the democratic race is pointing to u.k. election as a warning for the 2020 raced telling supporters san francisco fund-raiser, look what happens when the labour party move so far to the left. it comes up with ideas not able to be contained within a rational basis quickly. part of the fallout from the u.k. election is the issue of electability. once again becoming front and center in the democratic primaries which we will likely hear more about during this next debate on thursday, though your next guest will have something to say about it as well, shannon. >> shannon: i'm sure he will, garrett, thank y

jeremy corbyn was as extreme as it was? >> well, i think it's been very clear for a long time that the british public wasn't buying jeremy corbyn's offer and wasn't buying jeremye just wasn't credible. british people want to believe in a brighter future but they're not stupid. when they're offered proposals like a four-day week with wages for five days, they know that that is not a credible offer to them. so i think what we saw last night was a great victory for the conservative party, of which, by the way, i remain a member. and it gives boris johnson the political and moral authority to shape the future for the uk. it allows him to break out of the straitjacket that his predecessopre predecessor was in being beholden to the hard core of activists on either side of the party. he's now got a mandate to allow him to map out his own path if that's what he chooses to do. >> so katty kay is with us and has a question. >> mr. hammond, do you think in this argument about whether there are lessons for the democrats here in 2020, does the labor party's loss relate to elizabeth warren and bernie sanders? >> it feels like to me that in a mature democracy, the electorate

jeremy corbyn?” see them as part of the same overall movement as jeremy corbyn? i think they see themselves clearly as progressives, no doubt, but there is a major distinction between them and jeremyne that was incredibly socialist compared to what elizabath warren and bernie sanders are articulating about how the us government should engage. certainly there are policies that are in particular with medicare for all, that our government run, but it is a far cry from whatjeremy corbyn was advocating. in the big one as well was anti—semitism in the labour party, with bernie sanders and eliza bath warren, labour party, with bernie sanders and elizabath warren, very clear and indifferent views in condemning and hate semitism. when you are working for the 0bama administration, did you ever look to the uk to see if there were any trends that might break on your side of the atlantic? the one big moment that i remember quite clearly and i am sure you do as well, the vote in the british parliament over striking syria in 2013 after the chemical weapons attack, and that did play into our politics had quite a bit. there are obviously ripples that go back and forth between both societies and ce

jeremy corbyn would be either rigged or fixed party. replacing jeremy corbyn would be either rigged orfixed by party. replacing jeremyhip, and some of us on staff will be sacked from some of the parliamentary labour party. the vetera n parliamentary labour party. the veteran labour party told us after the meeting that there was a mixture of anger, fury, despair and denial. soi of anger, fury, despair and denial. so i suppose it is unsurprising when labour ended up getting the smallest number of seats in parliament since 1935 and jeremy corbyn's point of view, he said that he apologised for the defeat and apologised for his responsibility in the defeat and to those mps who have lost their seats but he did claim a range of factors, including the media and including brexit and certainly felt that the postmortem to labours defeat had to go much more wide, much more deep than that. in effect, labour had ignored, industrialised over a0 yea rs ignored, industrialised over a0 years and not given the jobs that people needed. so i think rather than people calling forjeremy corbyn to go right now, a lot of them are focusing on

jeremy corbyn. an incredibly unpopular leader. the brexit vote is still in my mind the key one, but jeremy corbyn makes it impossible for those who don't want the tories or johnson to find an alternative. francine: how do you trade the pound? distill that into market mechanisms. george: the time to be positive and bullish on the pound was knocked over when this new deal was in the making. we are increasingly becoming concerned the market is too optimistic on the pound and the outlook, for two reasons. one is the boris johnson election victory is increasingly in the price and that is why sterling has been rallying. the second thing is as soon as this withdrawal agreement is done and passes through parliament, reality will bite. the withdrawal agreement is an extension of the hard brexit deadline for 12 months, and the new negotiations will start in march. by june, there needs to be a decision to extend the extension again and there needs to be an agreement on money and it will be impossible to do a full trade agreement with the e.u. in that space of time. if they do something, it will be very slimmed down, similar to a wto brexit. it is hard to be optimistic that we have this huge, clear pathway ahead after the election. carsten: i think this transition period will be extended and negotiating a trade agreement is not done in five months, six months, can take to touch up to five years. -- take up to five years. the brexit discussion will keep the e.u. busy. tom: jobs day with carsten brzeski and george saravelos. el, looking forward to reading your work. it is jobs day. it is about the data, but far more tangential, wage growth and dissipation rate worth watching as well -- the participation rate worth watching as well. ♪ ♪ you are watching bloomberg "surveillance." t-mobile is preparing for a crucial battle over its sprint deal. monday, the fight begins in federal court in manhattan. the judge will weigh arguments from a group of states that say he should block the $26.5 billion acquisition but they say will raise prices on consumers by eliminating competition. t-mobile says by combining with sprint, they can reduce costs and lower prices. the backlash against telethon could be -- palatine could be a good thing. experts say the increased attention could end up boosting sales. just on their youtube channel, more than 3.6 million people have watched the ad. tom: thank you so much. it is jobs day in america. good to talk to a foreign exchange trader. , this jobs day is a little bit different. team, to goonomics to chairman powell with the glass half-full in the labor market or not?

george: as we think about next year, it really is going to be a u.s. centric year. the reason is the only player in town is now the fed. if we get weaker european data, what can the ecb do? not much. the discussion on the guard is shifting toward side effects, the reversal rate, negative rates being too negative for europe. year,l be a u.s. centric as we have the u.s. election as well, and the dollar will be more asymmetric. it will react tomorrow to negative data because it will put fed cuts back on the tate -- table. francine: when can the fed -- given what we know and i know it could changes -- when can the fed signal a hike next? that looks like it could be years. george: it is unlikely for next year. we have a strategic review focusing on inflation. inflation is weak so any likely outcome is likely giving a lower for longer message on rates. the market is pricing the risk of cuts next year. that is the right thing to do. think's are very -- things are very un-symmetric. on the others of the pond, the views will be towards unconventional policy. period will reinvent a of introspection. toward the end of the year, we don't have small view -- strong views because of all the geopolitical events. one needs to be cautious into these political events. into next year overall, the dollar will be on the weaker side. tom: george saravelos with deutsche bank, an important call and something we will revisit after the first of the year. it is jobs day. much more on the american labor economy. we are thrilled to bring you james sweeney, our economist. he has been absolutely brilliant. do not fear deflation. should we fear a slowing american labor economy?
