this one involving kenneth clarke and harriet harman, there's jeremy involving kenneth clarke and harriettime you look at these different suggestions, those people have still got to amass a majority in the houses of parliament in order to make this happen. it's one of the most politically divided times in modern history. and asking mps to undermine the party in many ways, to back what their constituent doesn't wa nt back what their constituent doesn't want them to do —— constituency. back what their constituent doesn't want them to do -- constituency. and you asking conservatives to back a potential prime minister, jeremy corbyn, which theoretically they would not do. also, it'sjust absolutely bananas. and that's taking into a fact that the tories just had a leadership election. if you wanted to become the next tory leader, you had the opportunity. borisjohnson won by leader, you had the opportunity. boris johnson won by a landslide. leader, you had the opportunity. borisjohnson won by a landslide. i think the sunset of anti— democracy really shines through. again, as i said in the last h

the well known kenneth clark actually stood up for an argument and said there is no conclusive proof. is transmitted through blood products he really needs to answer for putting out that type of misinformation and this was the reply we received from kenneth clocks office krista clarke has chosen to decline through what's been and from the u.k. department of health the infected blood inquiry is a cabinet of its leaders and therefore they will be the ones best placed to answer your questions beyond that initial acknowledgement the cabinet office has not responded to our request. and all we could find on the official u.k. national health service website was a report mentioning that victims are entitled to apply for compensation. 2019 and for the 1st time the u.k. government agreed to hear what the victims had to say a public inquiry was opened in london and jason evans group factory's is taking part in it is finally happening it's been. a long road and this is a this train journey is one that i say him countless times over the last 34 years. even before jason was born his father was awar

have been talking about, the telegraph but inevitably politics and this is a reference to what kenneth clarkaid about events between now and the 31st of october. the father of the 31st of october. the father of the house, can clark is back from holiday and learned that he is being floated as a caretaker p.m. holiday and learned that he is being floated as a caretaker pm. to stop a new deal brexit, something he seems to be endorsing and says he is open minded two and it could possibly be a bipartisan ticket in which there is a labour mp who has been mentioned and it would be harriet harman. at the mother of the house. but i think what is that king clark has the amazing cb and many other positions in government and any other time when you actually would need an emergency prime minister would be probably the person that many people in different parties would turn to but the problem here is if there is that this emergency is being concocted by those who want to yet again postponed a democratic mandate to leave the european union, granted not completely and he said he would go back to the eu and

tory mp kenneth clark said he would step in as leader of a new government to stop no—deal brexit ifjeremyn couldn't unite mps. he becomes feminist if he wins a general election, which i don't he ever will. —— becomes prime minister. hope for 5,000 british steel workers, after a tentative deal to rescue the company from insolvency. a group of women diagnosed with a rare form of cancer linked to breast implants, take legal action. and at 11:30pm we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, new european columnist and playwright bonnie greer and the associate director of iea, kate andrews. stay with us for that. hello. a murder inquiry has begun after a police officer died while investigating a burglary. pc andrew harper, who was 28, is thought to have been dragged along by a vehicle late last night, near the village of ufton nervet in berkshire. he was married just four weeks ago. ten people have been arrested, including a 13—year—old boy and tonight police are carrying out inquiries at a nearby caravan site. 0ur correspondent, daniel sandford reports. on a rural stretc

claim was that the new medicines were safe the most emphatic statement to that effect was from kenneth clark health secretary under margaret thatcher's government. i think someone that really has a lot to answer for as a minister is. 2019 and for the 1st time the u.k. government agreed to hear what the victims had to say a public inquiry was opened in london and jason evans group factor 8 is taking part in it is finally happening it's been. a long road and this is a train journey is one that i say him countless times over the last 34 years. even before jason was born his father was aware of the deadly disease. in spite of the risk of causing on the contamination his baby was blown. off and think about how would i have with my dad when he. next year i'll be the same age my dad was when he died. i think about if i used to die did not share that age that would have been really a very short life. that weighs heavily on my mind. in 98 you know i see there became. yes. from our show we certainly. were near pretty soon after unsure to see. where we were for our east really in no uncertain terms not

would you be happy with kenneth clarke as a ca reta ker be happy with kenneth clarke as a caretaker primeposition has got to be the option for a caretaker government. there are 2117 labourmps, for a caretaker government. there are 2117 labour mps, 1a lib dems, you cannot have detail wagging the dog in that way. it is clear that the basis for any cross—party majority for stopping no deal and mapping a way forward must rest with, based on and led by the labour leader and the labour party. thank you very much for your time this morning. here's thomas with a look at this morning's weather. today the weather is looking much better. not a completely dry day, blustery showers in the forecast. certainly expect some showers across scotla nd certainly expect some showers across scotland and northern ireland. i think in england and wales it is looking a lot dry and brighter. so, here at the weather should be absolutely fine. they weather front is out of the way, no pressure is driving our weather, notjust today, but tomorrow and into next week, as well. it'll be a time before this whole weather syst

jo swinson, the lib dems leader and others, are suggesting a figure such as kenneth clarke or harriethouse, could potentially unite mps from all parties to form a temporary government with the sole aim of avoiding a no—deal brexit. ken clarke says, if it came to it, he would be willing to do that, but he and others are saying at this point it should not be mps' priority, they should be looking for other ways, and one option is to unite around legislation going through the house of commons when mps return from their summer break, to somehow amend it and force the government's hand and compel them to ask the eu for an extension to the brexit process, something the prime minister would never want to do, and it seems jeremy corbyn, although that wouldn't be his preferred option, is willing to work along those lines with other parties, but there is no detail on exactly how that plan would work i do know one clear path that parties are united around, so tonight, as the brexit deadline comes ever closer, with the government adamant the uk will leave the eu at the end of october, with or with

the mother and father of the house, labour‘s harriet harman and the conservative's kenneth clarke couldhouse. they are highly respected, the most senior and most experienced male and female politicians in the house of commons. that would actually work. this isn't really about jeremy that would actually work. this isn't really aboutjeremy coping, it is about who could actually command a majority in the house of commons. who is that person? we know it isn't him but who could do so? isn't about party politics? it isn't. if we were, we would be making demands thatjo swinson were, we would be making demands that jo swinson our were, we would be making demands thatjo swinson our leader be considered to leader government, and emergency governance, or if notjo swinson or other senior liberal democrat figures like vince cable. we aren't doing that, we accept that our leader may not be able to command a majority in the house to be the prime minister of an emergency government. we have actually put forward two alternatives, one from each of the main parties who aren't members of our party to be th
