here is our political correspondent jessica parker on how likely it is the prime minister would givee, went to brussels and got some changes to the deal regarding the arrangements for the irish border, has brought back the irish border, has brought back the deal, and i think his campaign will centre on this idea that he is putting forward that he has an oven baked ready deal to get to parliament should he win a majority. but nigel farage of the brexit party today saying that he thinks it is just theresa may's i will deal slightly recycled. nigel farage thinks the deal is no good. he likened it to a car with a shiny bonnet and a bit of a rubbish engine, and he is suggesting that the conservative party should ditch the conservative party should ditch the deal, go for a free trade agreement in the middle of next year, and if they did that, then maybe the brexit party in the conservative party could work together in some kind of electoral packed to maximise their success at the ballot boxes at the election on 12 december. but borisjohnson, who did an interview this afternoon, pushing bac

our political correspondent jessica parker spoke to me a little earlier.at he would rather be dead in a ditch than ask for a delay. he blames the delay on parliament. parliament would say he needs to take ownership of what happened. he has been speaking in an interview about whether he has been sorry to miss that deadline. will you apologise to those members who voted for you because they thought you would take them out of the eu on the 31st of october? it is a matter of deep regret. what we need to do now is get on and do it. that was boris johnson speaking on sky. labour have been talking about their offerfor this general election. what have they been promising? we will hear lots of offers from the parties in the coming weeks, but they have been announcing a major home improvement programme, including a £60 billion scheme for energy saving upgrades for low income households, things like loft insulation and double glazing. they say it would create jobs, cut carbon emissions and energy use. they have been talking about the nhs. labour feel like they are on

jessica parker, bbc news. our assistant political editor norman smith is in north london.s are under attack here but the labour party really coming under pressure today? jeremy corbyn is on his feet at the moment. he's spoken of how he views anti—semitism as vile, evil, and he's pledged, if prime minister, to ensure adequate protection for synagogues and mosques, labour party officials have spoken of how they've introduced fast—track disciplinary processes , introduced fast—track disciplinary processes, how the allegations of anti—semitism only relate to a tiny minority of labour party members but you know what? robert lee won't make a blind bit of difference and the reason is, this whole anti—semitism crisis has been going on for months, for years, under the leadership of jeremy corbyn and again and again and again, whatever he says has failed to satisfy his critics in the jewish community and he has failed to allay their concerns and damaging as this is, because of the language used by the chief rabbi and the ferocity of his criticism, it probably won't shift any votes i

jessica parker reports.e times, the chief rabbi writes that, "a new poison, sanctioned from the top, has taken root in the labour party." he adds, "i ask every person to vote with their conscience. be in no doubt, the very soul of our nation is at stake." labour today described its race and faith manifesto as ambitious, tra nsformative. it wants to hold an independent review of far right extremism, establish better protections for places of worship. more broadly, tackle pay discrimination based on race and teach children about colonialism and the role of the british empire. but as jeremy corbyn arrived at the event a short while ago, it was clear today's launch had become overshadowed. there is no place whatsoever for anti—semitism in any shape or form or in any place whatsoever in modern britain. and under a labour government, it will not be tolerated in any form whatsoever. i want to make that clear. and asked directly about the chief rabbi's comments... i invite the chief rabbi, i invite the archbishop of
