it is about get brexit done, absolutely, very different emphasis to joe brexit done, absolutely, veryferent emphasis tojoe swinson for the liberal democrats, ——jo swinson. he is trying to show people that if we do get that done we're not to overspend "like labour might", and we may not see that period of austerity. looking at the main parties, we have all their ma nifestoes main parties, we have all their manifestoes now, from the point of view of education, what excites you most? education is your area of speciality, you work with state schools across the country, you know the pressure they are under, you know the lack of resources, you know what they need. i was really excited, prior to the manifestoes, the talk about extra additional funding, the problem is that the devil is in the detail. when you look at the detail, this particular ma nifesto look at the detail, this particular manifesto that came out yesterday from the conservative party, if you spread 200 and messy feeling —— £250 million for childcare over the early yea rs, million for childcare over the early years, that ends

joe swinson, politics of it, it's not going to happen. becausejoe swinson, her first priority isn't to stop brexit, her first priority is to stopjeremy corbynetting into number ten, much like the tories. there is a dissent on their with labour not doing deals. i've noticed that iain duncan smith's seats, the greens have stepped aside to help labour. that is up to the green stuff, but labour actually hasn't reciprocated oi’ labour actually hasn't reciprocated or offered anything back. it's interesting the way the you say that to me could argue from the tories point of view, they haven't really given echo through anything expected — — except given echo through anything expected —— except explain their deal more thoroughly. so nigel farage has taken the thoroughly. so nigel farage has ta ken the latter thoroughly. so nigel farage has taken the latter he has been given and compromising we are with the greens, clearly. i think and compromising we are with the greens, clearly. ithink what happened there is, yes, boris johnson emphasised, really highlighted what they call the chapter to no—deal in 2020. that seems to be what's got nigel farage to

brexit and cut carbon emmissions. and at the impeachment inquiry in washington, a us diplomat says he followed donald trump's orders to pressure ukraine into investigating joeocrat leader, jo swinson, has launched her pa rty‘s manifesto. there's a promise to stop brexit, and to build what they call a new future for the uk inside the european union. the party claims that staying in the eu will give a £50 billion boost to spend on public services. and on climate change, they're setting a target of generating 80% of our electricity from renewable sources by 2030. 0ur political editor, laura kuenssberg, has more details. the voice of remain, jo swinson! how she wants to make a big entrance onto the national stage. why she believes the lib dems matter. we are the only party that can win a significant number of seats from the conservatives and deprive them a majority. applause but while the nightclubs different enough to the other parties, can stopping brexit at all costs really appeal? the manifesto calls brexit a national humiliation. is that a way to describe what was a democratic decision? i do believe it has become a national embarrassment for our country. w

one of the truths of modern politics is normalcy will not be resumed until brexit is dealt with. joen guys, about the one o'clock news. come on guys, you've got to get out here or you're going to miss it. if we remain there will be a 15 billion pound... there are no figures on the side of the battle bus this morning. i think the numbers game we know all treat with a huge bucket of sea salt, frankly. we have all been burnt by stick to acute —— statistical chicory. yesterday we had jeremy corbyn talking about a £500 million bill for the nhs from a future trade deal. you know, that was based on how we import our drugs from the us and we pay us drug prices. i see the green party this morning are suggesting £900 billion on getting rid of fossilfuels morning are suggesting £900 billion on getting rid of fossil fuels over the next ten years. it is kind of pledge inflation gone ballistic. i think voters almost now have dialled out from that, they are not impressed on however grandiose the number is you put on it because the numbers have become almost, i don't know, so meaningless. we throw b

brexit deal directly to u.k. voters as they choose between the tory leader and his labor party opponent, jeremy corbin. will it pay off? wall street journal editorial board member joeom london with the latest. joe, why did labor finally agree to let this go ahead with the election. they're trailing in the polls by i think mostly double digits. >> labor has gone ahead because they ran out of excuses not to do this. i mean, i think the pressure for this election, because people can't take the dead lock anymore. the dead lock rises because in 2016, 52% of the voters chose in a referendum on european union member ship that they wanted to leave and the problems since then has been britain has not had a parliament where the majority of members representing those voters actually agreed with the voters. so i think that boris johnson is certainly hoping that finally he can use this election in december to break that logjam and if he is running ex mess exy on the hope that he can stir up a mandate for the deal that he has negotiated with the eu to affect brexit, that is finally going to end the misery. paul: so this is above all else going to be a referendum on his brexit de

joe swinson had a tough time justifying the idea of revoking article 50 and stopping brexit immediatelyrom that. she turned up in glasgow today and was harassed up in glasgow by people who really cannot forgive him for some of the austerity measures. and think she voted for when she was a leader at the time but you did —— that was not the reader what she did vote for them. boris johnson that was not the reader what she did vote for them. borisjohnson would not apologise for the things he has written that he defended himself. he said it was a country of free speech but it was a difficult night forjoe swinson. she was asked about liberal democrat bar chart. they certainly put out some questionable bar charts in theircampaign put out some questionable bar charts in their campaign literature, the

also had joe's wins in a nicola sturgeon and one has the seven main parties and do you think they will help voters like you? well i think it is very complicated because i think as far as brexitd it is going to complicate the matter. the more split the vote becomes. the conservatives won't get a majority to... but what keith is saying, this focus on the personality, even the cult of the leader? definitely. we used to vote more about, for policies rather than the personality of the leader. but now, it has shifted, it is the other way and we vote for the personality of the leader. and you would like the bbc perhaps to pull away from that approach? 0h, the bbc perhaps to pull away from that approach? oh, yes, definitely. look at the policies more carefully and in detail. thank you, holly holman, keith feeley, thank you both. thank you. finally, the news is full of noise, particularly at the moment, but sometimes the most powerful moments are broadcast can be full of silence. on friday, brea kfast be full of silence. on friday, breakfast welcome back harry billings, the 94—year—old war vetera n billings, the 94—year—old war veteran who had spoken on the programme earlier this yea

joe twyman and journalist at broadcaster, caroline frost. many of tomorrow‘s front pages are already in. the times leads on jeremy corbyn‘s announcement in tonight‘s bbc leaders‘ debate — the he will stay neutral in a second brexitsels, but then refuse to campaign to leave. after the conviction of the killer of british backpacker grace millane, —— meanwhile the guardian says boris johnson was attacked by members of the audience. the daily express said the audience. the daily express said the government could have a £1.6 billion boost for research. for bringing a cure dementia closer. and tomorrow‘s i newspaper renames the duke of york the "duke of nothing", as he stands down from his role at his business charity. what did you think of the british audience grilling our mps? what did you think? i thought they were pretty impressive and thatjust shows that when it comes to really putting our leaders on the sport and potential aspirational leaders, that the british government really do know what‘s going on. i think eve ryo ne know what‘s going on. i think everyone says you‘re suffering from massive brexit fatigue but if it means that we are informed, angry in some places where we feel they role has been pulled over

brexit by what dealer politicians say. bridgend voted to leave the eu in 2016. what has followed has frustrated people on both sides. joee is a floating vote and wants politics to move on. nothing has been done really about our economy and looking at the nhs, looking at the homeless, all the other issues we have got in this country. everything seems to have gone on stand still. for more than three decades, this constituency like most of wales has been solid labour territory. but the opinion polls suggest that may be about to change. traditional voting allegiances it seems may be washed away by the time out of the last three years. the high water mark of the tory party in wales was 1983 when they last took this constituency. so could it happen ain? constituency. so could it happen again? the key to winning ac plug ridge and will be how many of those labour voters can actually make that switch, hold their noses in some cases because i forget the conservative brand can be pretty toxic and part of south wales and switch to the conservatives. toxic and part of south wales and switch to the conservativesm toxic and part of so

brexit and independence. he had to expand on that are the scotland correspondence and go tidy. joe, to you first.t and independence, the two big issues involving scotland and if you thought the pictures, gated across the uk, it is very, catered here. we have four main parties offering very different things. the snp, very much linking those two big constitutional issues together and putting their bid for a second independence referendum right at the heart of theircampaign, independence referendum right at the heart of their campaign, strongly linking it to brexit. the tories not soaking to talk about in a region that largely voted for remain, instead focusing on their opposition to independence. the liberal democrats, pro—remain, anti—independence and labour, not offering an independence referendum right away, but not wrung it out forever and of course offering that second referendum on europe as well. voters are thinking very differently on those issues so things are too they want to vote for on that basis. the other thing i would add in scotland is that it is tight battles across the seats. lots
