the leader of the labour party, keir starmer.lls but may's local elections will be a proper ballot box test of the party's support, strategy and leader. at the heart of these elections is a really simple question. do you think, do you believe that britain deserves better? audience: yes. the setting for today's labour launch signalled ambition, confidence. swindon currently has a tory—run council and two conservative mps. labour hopes its campaign focus on the cost of living will be a tempting sell to voters. trying to find money to cope with everything is near on impossible. gas and electricity prices, rental properties. we need to get back to a situation where we swindonians _ are proud of our town. after kicking off his campaign, it was down to some door knocking. what does a good result look like for you? they're very important elections for us as we measure our progress from 2019 into the next general election. obviously we want to win as many seats as possible. we're here in swindon, which is very important to us. do you thi

keir do you think that keir starmer do you think that he's. well, i think that he's. is fit.drive down crime . these are good drive down crime. these are good proposals nana in terms of halving crime toward women and girls that he's talked about having domestic abuse specialists in place . and he's specialists in place. and he's also talked about more when comes to violence towards women and girls. he's also talked about having dedicated schools specifically for rape related offences. but i agree with your point, if you're going to have produced this very robust proposals when it comes to combating crime against women and girls he has to provide what you would call because it would be a commonsense definition of what we woman is and you can see those into view clips that he gets himself a bit of a muddle. so i think in order to provide a convincing spirit you could say when it comes to selling those policies he needs to get the bread and butter right when it comes to defining what a woman is. what would you to that piece of it because you know you watch clip. i don't understa

mm well she probably thinks , she, she can but keir thinks, she, she can but keir starmer , sir keironting have to push that. brian ponting and what do you think . i think and what do you think. i think it's very convenient to be attempting to see this as some kind of panacea and it's not, it's smokescreen essentially . it's smokescreen essentially. there are other reports such as the interim report today that's come out by the privileges . come out by the privileges. that's pretty . never mind sue that's pretty. never mind sue gray what she is investigated . gray what she is investigated. and we don't need to just look at sue gray and what has come outwith. we just need to go back the detail. jack doyle has nothing to do with the civil service or nothing to do with sue gray. and he as the communications director in number 10 said that what saw didn't didn't bear up to the to the rules as they were in place at that time. so i think i think to see this as kind of policy is the usual subterfuge by boris johnson and forjacob the usual subterfuge by boris johnson and for jacob to the usu

what might she share with keir starmer?very clear how they will manage any conflicts of interest that come up. one other point, i really don't buy the suggestion that sue gray's previous work on partygate is somehow compromised. civil servants are allowed to have personal views but they put them to one side when they do thejob. but they put them to one side when they do the job. i don't think the criticism of the partygate report was that it diverted blame from borisjohnson and he recognised the report at the time and welcomed it. so i do not think the criticism stands up at all.— so i do not think the criticism stands up at all. regardless of that, if this — stands up at all. regardless of that, if this does _ stands up at all. regardless of that, if this does create - stands up at all. regardless of that, if this does create an - that, if this does create an impression of potentially undermining the independence of those findings, isn't that the point? it is about the perception among the public, even if you leave aside t

keir can't take seriously.has got a lot of points against government well done for him. what your solution, keir? until we hear your take you your solution, we can't take you seriously. adam, i think seriously. i mean, adam, i think these are probably too these numbers are probably too high, but i to high. however this is a points based system, which means in theory the people who are arriving legally into the country should be feeling vacancies and service industries that we desperately need, especially, by the way if you look at the nhs , look again, look at the nhs, look again, i've i will echo what shaun says controlled immigration has shaped this country throughout decades and centuries. it's a good thing , but i used to own good thing, but i used to own nightclubs . there was a capacity nightclubs. there was a capacity limit for, a reason and that was , you know, quality of service if , someone can't get a , you know, quality of service if, someone can't get a drink or someone cut up dance. that nightclub

gray to accept the role offered to her by keir starmer . there's to her by keir starmer.'s that comment this afternoon that's out isn't it, that he was saying that johnson, who was the prime minister at the time was a nationally distrusted figure. now is that statement one an opinion? what he was opinion? well, what he was saying in context was that he saying in context it was that he felt that lockdown and messaging should be the face of lockdown , should be the face of lockdown, essentially shouldn't be the prime minister. it should be someone trusted rather than a universally distrusted figure like the prime minister. now that just however, however you whatever light you want to throw on it that does not seem to be an acceptable phrase for so servant of the crown to . so servant of the crown to. so it'll be very, very interesting to see if simon case this scandal and let's forget it's not the only scandal that simon case has been involved in he was cabinet secretary who oversaw appointment of richard sharpe who managed to broker that deal , if you can phrase it like th

sir keir starmer puts it is what he sees as the latest utter failure of the government to tackle thise minister on how many people have been deported over existing laws the government has brought in and when it plans to have the system in place of turning people back and sending them away, because it is not something sir keir starmer has made a political priority of his own, there is a dangerfor him that priority of his own, there is a danger for him that he priority of his own, there is a dangerfor him that he is priority of his own, there is a danger for him that he is seen on the defensive about this issue which many people feel strongly about. his tactic is to push the government on exactly how the plan will work and point to what labour sees as previous failures of this conservative administration and others to do anything about it. the lanauuae others to do anything about it. the language is — others to do anything about it. the language is incredibly heated, as it often is. we have seen rose involving one of the bbc presenters we have mentioned, gary lineker, and we have mentio

[shouting] he needs, he needs to get out of westminster, get out of -- [shouting] and, mr. speaker, i don't -- [shouting] >> it's a big day in the house and is very important day. we do want to make progress. holding this up as a advantageous to any of us. >> he needs to get out of westminster -- [shouting] get out of kensington at adult mean to malibu. to the streets of britain. go there and tell people it's all fine if you are reaction he gets. the answer did want to give all the windows it, is 4% of cases come 4% burglary charges are charged. 96% of burglary cases that even going before the courts. burglars twice as likely it away with it now as they were a decade ago. they should be ashamed of that record.

keir that and there's the plaid. keir starmer mentioned it pmqs this week. i thought was the week.ought was the plan, well, the headline the plan, well, the headline of the plan, well, the headline of the plan more with plan is what more close with france money. france get value for money. well, did tweeting i have to say finally is that in ireland anyway? rishi thanks. i didn't let you give the plan. well the plan that keir starmer talked about at pmqs this week is all about at pmqs this week is all about offices process about more offices to process the paper it's made a the paper backlogs. it's made a big difference. closer liaison with all our french counterparts and actually just engaging more with the system. now i have to be fair again to right? be fair again to rishi, right? he's actually made more progress on this than anyone has for ages, only by giving away northern ireland to the european union are really. that's that's. wow do you think that. yeah, i do i think this deal i'm the end of the only people saying it but i'm happy to say i think this withdrawal agreement lip

keir had the cut through that.le around starmer and the people around him hoping for. james him would be hoping for. james hale very much indeed hale thank you very much indeed for we to take for joining us. we have to take this conversation into the studio with david wilde studio here now with david wilde and so back and rebecca jane. so going back to point, do you think it's to that point, do you think it's been a good week or a bad week for keir starmer? i think it's been a fairly even week. i mean, it's of those days it's one of those days situations where governments it's one of those days situaelections re governments it's one of those days situaelections and )vernments it's one of those days situaelections and it'snments it's one of those days situaelections and it's anents lose elections and it's a quieter low bar for opposition leaders to get over . quieter low bar for opposition leaders to get over. in the end , i think the focus on boris johnson obviously hasn't helped the tories and i would say that the

now sir keir starmer wants to hire sue gray as his chief of staff.perience in whitehall will help them prepare for government. sue gray is somebody who has enormous respect from people across the political spectrum, as somebody who for decades has shown the highest integrity and standards in public life. the labour party has been looking for a chief of staff for the last two or three months, well after the report that sue gray wrote into borisjohnson�*s partying at downing street. but borisjohnson and other conservatives are outraged, saying sue gray's report can't now be seen as the findings of an impartial official and calling it a stitch—up. i think it can only be concluded that, given her new role, her new political role, it was to bring down the brexit—supporting prime minister borisjohnson. and i don't think her report is actually worthy of the paper it is now written on. sue gray has resigned from the civil service but will not take up her role with labour until a westminster watchdog gives it the all clear. sir keir starmer is hoping that hir

so can we well certainly we trust keir.acter of the campaign that he formed to become party leader back in the spring of 2020. but the fact that you've referred to their arguments about cercare having backed jeremy corbyn, become prime minister, etc. is one of the reasons why this motion has been brought forward largely symbolic, because i think it is because . the truth think it is because. the truth is that for so long as sir keir denied jeremy corbyn whip as a labour mp , jeremy corbyn was not labour mp, jeremy corbyn was not going to be able to stand as a labour candidate anyway. but i think the truth is that probably the part. what's he doing saying he's responding to the conservative party, saying, well, whatever happened the past you cannot be clear that i have drawn a clear demarcation line between myself and jeremy corbyn and is therefore trying to limit the force of that conservative accusation, which is brought up virtually prime minister's questions bickerstaff alright, thank you very much . john thank you very
