good to say we can welcome onto the program this hour ken livingstone a former mayor of london you're very welcome to the program that british media have seemingly fallen and already who is guilty in this instance why do you think rush has been thrust into the spotlight so quickly here. well so much of the media now in britain and america is ramping up opposition not just to russia to iran and so on it's almost like a sort of mini cold war again i'm not me i thought that those statements by the ambassador were a very good analysis of only what he's the most chaotic and unreliable president of my lifetime but we got to remember i mean most of the people seeing these documents are in the senior civil service all their ministers and there's an awful lot of people at the top of our ministration now horrified at the prospect of boris johnson being the next prime minister even and i totally contemptuous now of treason maze government through his reverie like this was released by a civil servant to a politician to undermine and damage this government and to sort of porridge johnson because w

(applause) we have in this country and it is absolutely vital, we have a very important laws against hate speech, xenophobia, against discrimination and racial prejudice of all kinds and racial prejudice of all kinds and it is right that we should enshrine those protections and law. we can be very proud of what we have achieved, but we also have a history of robust debate in free speech and sometimes we need to be prepared to see things that we thin

meantime the cabinet office is in charge as leading the full inquiry into who was behind all this or ken livingstone a former mayor of london told me earlier about while dragging russia into the story anstice sense there's almost certainly no truth to the suggestion. begin now in britain and america is ramping up opposition not just to russia to iran and so on it's almost like a sort of mini cold war again i do think it's an indication of just how dysfunctional the british government is now at the top and the schisms the splits and so on so that although yes it's nice to have a good you know this by still when it's the line the russians will be ready and that whatever i am much more likely if someone with the heart of our government who is horrified at the direction we're going and they want to try and stop it we leave him alone doing what america once we get involved in their wars we got got signed up behind iraq and so on about the only prime minister lying mind i refused to do that was back in the 1960 s. when the labor government and our wilson refused to send troops to our side by side with ame

set to an economic policy together together with their shadow shadow chancellor who had sat by ken livingstone to be thank. you so. that i have my check of the forge the budget slap you for your budget he would raise my. hair to say this is because he would raise taxes on pensions he was i'm sorry i'm telling you all toyota otoh odette based on a very your mother a very excitable denizen the bouse come yourself it will be therapeutic for you to do said this far too much noise on both sides of the house and i fear the noise on the front bench is proving contagious line a certain back benches who are becoming a very excitable and they must restrain themselves and their the prime minister would of course be both passionate and restrained the prime minister how we're going to put that i can muster my feelings here and this is because it is the right on the budget went up on the money but that is only heard things on pensions of corporations he would put up taxes he would put up taxes on income to $50.00 people how. far is the food serves a budget of 19 eighty-four mr speaker how would put off gett

to do it but we wa nt said, we'd like you to do it but we want you to take out the part about ken livingstoney. then you have the labour party actually saying that they knew better than thejewish community and jewish groups around the world with regards to the ihra definition of anti—semitism. we tried engaging with the labour party but, you know, untiljeremy corbyn and the leadership actually take it seriously and want to solve the problem rather than coming up with quick political fixes, then problem rather than coming up with quick politicalfixes, then it's very difficult to do so. as you know, the leadership, parts of the leadership say they are trying to tackle it, and they've done so in a variety of ways. you have the equalities and human rights commission investigating. if you can simply, what must happen to root out the problem? i think the labour party and jeremy corbyn must understand why it's arisen. we need an independent process to actually tackle the examples, you know, the people in the party who are awaiting disciplinary action, without interference from the top, which often i

when i defeated ken livingston devious emnation of the labour left than jeremy corbin, i was able to beat him when our party was 17 points behind in london. i have what it takes to unite our party, unite our country and get brexit done, beat corbin. [applause] mr. hunt: i won a few elections. i would be the first prime minister to have won a marginal seat. but i think that leadership is also about your values. and that is about being prepared to do the tough and difficult things, sometimes the things that aren't popular. sometimes things you have to say to your friends like i said to president trump today because the comments about theresa may were unacceptable and i don't think he should have made them. [applause] mr. hunt: as i did with the chinese last week over hong kong and health secretary for over six years, i had difficult decisions and tough times. by the end of my time we had three million more patriots in good or outstanding hospitals. i think leadership is about people who get things done and those are the qualities i offer.

gentleman, who is set on an economic policy, together with the shadow chancellor who was sacked by ken livingstonebeing too left-wing. [shouting] mr. johnson quite rightly, he : was sacked for fabricating a budget. he forged a budget. sacked for forging a budget. he would raise taxes on inheritance; he would raise taxes on pensions, mr. speaker -- i am answering. i am telling you -- [shouting] mr. speaker: order. order! mr lavery, you are another over-excitable denizen of the house. calm yourself; it would be therapeutic for you to do so. there is far too much noise on both sides of the house, and i fear that the noise on the front bench is proving contagious. i note that certain back benchers who are becoming over-excitable. they must restrain themselves. i know that the prime minister will, of course, be both passionate and restrained. the prime minister. [laughter] mr. johnson: it is only with an effort that i can master my feelings here, mr speaker. the right honorable gentleman would not only put up taxes on inheritance, pensions and corporations; he would put up taxes on income to 50p in the

rate in london under his mayorship, he delivered 100,000 homes more ten livingston, he defeated ken livingstonehat and get a better deal with europe, or is itjust that he will take us out, come what may? i don‘t think he is irresponsible, he will be very responsible, but the eu has also seen we now have a new leader, a new prime minister, they will have to open negotiations again and come to a deal, they do not want no deal as much as we do not. boris has said there will be a deal, he is working behind—the—scenes, he is using his contacts in europe. you wa nt using his contacts in europe. you want a deal and you hope you can deliver? no deal should be an option, all option should be on the table. are you confident of a deal? i think table. are you confident of a deal? ithinka table. are you confident of a deal? i think a deal is more likely when i'io i think a deal is more likely when no deal is on the table and the eu see 110 no deal is on the table and the eu see no deal is a threat. if we prepare for that, which i think borisjohnson will, the eu is more likely to see a thread and open negoti

hall in london and what we saw is a city more at east ease with itself than previously under ken livingstoneur correspondent in brussels. adam, this was the result, brussels was expecting too, how have they prepared apart from michel barnier‘s tweet, how have they prepared for a borisjohnson tweet, how have they prepared for a boris johnson premiership? my of the preparation they have done have been under the radar and haven't involved talking to diplomats from the states. they have been planning for various different prime ministers, what they have concluded i am not sure, you speak to officials and diplomats and they have a lot of questions. chief‘ among them is with borisjohnson are they going to get? something who is pragmatic and prepared to make minor tweaks to the brexit deal theresa may got and rely on his showmanship and the bos he will get from being a new leader to get it through, or will bit the radical who holds no fear of a no—deal brexit and what the banns eliminated. they want to know who will work with him, the advisers on the civil service side and political side. who will
