detailing tax dodging by the rich the people will no doubt decide but joining me now is the british labor party's shadow emergencies minister chris williams and before we get to revolution the paradise paper has your reaction to these new revelations which is a seriously injured people from the manchurian or attack did not get medical help for an hour that's the may twenty second attack in manchester the grand concert hall that's incredibly troubling and certainly merits further investigation as to why that happened i mean i can speculate i mean one of the reasons i think potentially could be the fact that the services are massively underfunded and i've seen substantial reductions in government investments and that's pled to a reduction in staffing and consequently right across the piece the emergency services are struggling to actually cope with the pressures that being put on them through the government would deny the cuts had a big influence over the door all at once and they can deny that fell out when we do deny though is there isn't any any money and you guys have all the money is part of t

in british attitudes to israel and palestine in the last twenty thirty years the labor party for instance was a solid supporter of israel but the israeli government's own behavior and the way that it's occupation the fifty year occupation the illegal settlements and that's not me saying it's illegal that's a un security council these are mostly major shift in british attitudes about this and there and the media this week there's been a lot of recognition of britain's role in this that follows on shortly from the unobvious to a park to sion in india which was another mess yeah all right and if i think that's why britain does have a key role alright britain has a key role class on the t.v. in ramallah then what should britain do to try to right the wrongs that both trickett. first of all i want to point very astonishing contradiction that we observe no visa v the british attitude which is the fact that. britain is pride celebrating i mean the government this before declaration which contradicts strongly and obviously with the current political position of britain because no britain is suppo

the revelation came after one of its reporters accidentally forwarded his editor's note to the labor party when asking for comment on a story so let's get more details now from and see children joins us from the u.k. last year slightly embarrassing tell us then. a few more details about exactly what was said. well andrew you know a bit of a journalistic folk to say the least and just one example of really many of these days of how the press can twist and turn stories to try to get a certain angle this particular latest example includes the daily express journalist who apparently was instructed by either an editor or a producer to spin a story about national debt in the u.k. in an anti-labor or anti jeremy corbin manner specifically this was published by buzz feed who had received a copy of an e-mail that they ended up publishing this e-mail read quote needs a reaction from the taxpayers alliance but let's definitely also put the boot into corbin who wants to plunge us into into even deeper debt so as the readers are very clear that labor is not the solution and quote and even more curiousl

want to reflect on why it was before the dissolution of parliament earlier this year, it was the labor party that stopped and refused to support anti-tax avoidance and evasion measures brought forth by this government. his party stopped it. >> mr. speaker, my question was why conservative mps opposed what labor was proposing yesterday. so mr. speaker -- [ shouting ] >> last month's european parliament committee of inquiry set up in the wake of the panama papers claimed that the u.k. is obstructing the fight against tax dodging and money laundering. and just last week the e.u.'s competition commissioner announced an inquiry into u.k. taxation rules that may have institutionalized tax avoidance by multinational corporations. isn't the prime minister concerned that vital revenue is being lost to fund schools and hospitals? will she change the rules in the budget? >> can i say to the right honorable gentleman, we have taken an extra 160 billion pounds in additional compliance revenue since 2010. and he says -- he comments on measures that were being proposed this week. as i said in my previous a

the british labor party left the actual voters decide who is going to be their candidate the democratic leadership committee. says we let the donors decide and the donors are the people we appoint to the board of the national committee so essentially we what we lent the politicians decided to. britain would have let the tony blair wright decide who was going to be the next prime minister and now they're letting the hillary and obama decide which means wall street the military industrial complex so when they're going on effect findings tour what they really want to find out is how much you're going to donate to our cause where's the money and how much you're going to give us that's the only fact that they're really interested in because the other factors to why the the working class the middle class. the women the black vote and the hispanics are turning against them is no secret at all. it is the result basically of obama knowing obama's policies the giveaway to the banks the give away to the real estate interests the refusal to apply any of the anti monopoly legislation that we have in
