there is a lot more detail on what he had to say on our website, speaking to the economics editor, kamal ahmedme of his ideas? there is quite a few in there and a lot of detail online for our viewers. first and foremost, i am a big fan of his grace. he ticks all the boxes for me, because he knows it. he comes from a comfortable background but a difficult background. he is a successful businessman, he has turned to the church, he has done an incredible job turned to the church, he has done an incrediblejob at a turned to the church, he has done an incredible job at a time when numbers in the church are diminishing. you sometimes feel that the church in england is detaching itself and i think by way of this speech he is trying to get back, to get people back to community values and common values which are good for all of us, and so it is very good to hear. it is actually, regardless of your political persuasion, very difficult to argue with any of these things. ever since basically the turn—of—the—century, of the century, even the start of tony blair's premiership, we have seen the rich get rich

our economics editor kamal ahmed is here. is the radical doable? that is the question.deas can sound bold and doable in a conference centre but the brute reality is about how the economy functions and there will be challenges forjeremy corbyn if he ever does make it to number 10. the first will be that britain is a global economy, we rely on investment from around the world to support our public services and to support our public services and to support investment in infrastructure, railways and so on. if investors believe the risks in britain for higher costs for exam or higher, they will move that money elsewhere, it is a very mobile market. so capital flight, elsewhere, it is a very mobile market. so capitalflight, money moving away from britain. the second issueis moving away from britain. the second issue is employment, a 400,000 jobs he has pledged for wind farms and solar panels. we are already at record deployment levels, there are already tens of thousands of vacancies in engineering and construction, how do you create those jobs construction, how do you create
