i think we've already seen several members of the labor party in several different occasions of trade and then turning to within the party of parliament. the leaders kind of workings of that in threes in may is struggling with for thought the proposals that members of elected members of the labor party their m.p.'s in parliament actually met with the cheap but of the conservative party to see if there's some way that they get back to resume a keeper and paul are so when jeremy corben as effect column was in his own party who are determined to. bring him to and i think he's going to struggle but i think with the support of the rank and file members of the labor party and indeed the voters of great britain who as you alluded to have voted in greater numbers for the labor party than half since one thousand nine hundred five i think you're we corben on totally going to be the next leader of the british parliament after the next election and that very briefly but this stuff also argues that political advertising should be banned from social media that's something you would agree with. soci

political analyst from hughes says the revelation signal part of an ongoing battle within the labor party. but there's an ongoing kind of fight with and deliberate party it's actually a fight for the heart on the soul of the labor party the labor party was built on a socialist democratic platform and was moved to the center on a piece to the right soon by cleveland or the very man he led the united kingdom into the illegal wars in iraq and when you consider what's happened there and in libya and several other countries throughout the middle east. there's no socialism in a blur right wing of the liberal party so i'm i don't think for one second that it's been a move which they have to or some high esteem misadventure misadventure i think it's been a planned operation from the start the sabotage germy corben and if you remember that the labor party membership in may two thousand and fifteen was around two hundred thirty thousand and today it stands at five hundred fifty two thousand on the little leadership of germany corben the people of britain who joined the labor party a membership rank

now it's been revealed the british labor party member is responsible for facebook birds and last year's general election made leader jeremy corbyn and his closest allies see different ads from the general public auntie's party boyko picks up the story. this is all been revealed in a new book about the effect of the media on politics and the allegation is that in the run up to the general election back in twenty seventeen just over a year ago senior labor party staff members hostile to jeremy corbyn used targeted facebook ads in order to trick the labor leader into thinking that his campaigns were being rolled out nationwide online in actual fact the campaigns that jeremy corbyn wanted to push nationally but which senior officials didn't like they were being targeted just as jeremy corbyn and his closest aides take a listen to how the labor party leader jeremy corbyn was heard winked by his own party when they were told to pay for nationwide they're regarded as madcap such as one on the water registration they made sure that few sausage messages except a tiny slice of left wing activists

campaign decisions but jeremy corbin is no stranger to hostility from within his own party he's loved by plenty of labor voters but not so much by the parliamentary party here in the u.k. this contains all the centrist that are unhappy with his left wing policies and perhaps he may be unfazed by all of this he survived several coups against him labor party or had a few raised eyebrows in response to these revelations it's bizarre that anyone would undermine plans to voter registration during a general election despite fighting with one point behind our backs by some on corporates of senior staff we achieved a lot just increase in labor's vote since nine hundred forty five. well the statement we got from the labor party also said that the so-called uncooperative stars were proven wrong anyway because the videos that emphasized jeremy corbin as left wing politics that were put up all in corbett his own video and website channels and on the channels of his campaign group momentum far outperformed anything that was put up by the parliamentary labor party on its own website and video channel so according to

that in the run up to the general election back in twenty seventeen just over a year ago senior labor party staff members hostile to jeremy corbyn used targeted facebook ads in order to trick the labor leader into thinking that his campaigns were being rolled out nationwide online in actual fact the campaigns that jeremy corbyn wanted to push nationally but which senior officials didn't like they were being targeted just as jeremy corbyn and his closest aides take a listen to how the labor party leader jeremy corbyn was heard winked by his own party when they were told to be from nationwide they're regarded as month gap such as one on the water registration they made sure that few sources messages except a tiny slice of left wing activists if it was there for them they thought it must be there for everyone it wasn't that's how targeted it's going to work well a very twenty first century sort of sabotage and clearly quite dysfunctional relationships there between a party leader and the officials meant to be executing his campaign decisions but jeremy corbin is no stranger to hostility from w

but i think the labor party is generally. generally less divided on this than the conservancy it's now and it's going to be absolutely fascinating next two days because the latest opinion polls show that labor's in the eat only by one or two points so that might have a factor but i don't see i think you know to raise a man now has made a big mistake again she's got a big crisis on our hands for the next few hours going to be. resigned boris johnson is a very very ambitious politician he wants to be punished that means any secret about that and i think he believes now it's time and even if he thinks suddenly that he'd get enough support within the party to put a challenge to theresa may and become the handle all those tory m.p.'s who are not happy with teresa mayes compromise on glad to see him off. with the e.u. and. however there was a time for a full blown crisis within the u.k. government now is a spectacularly bad time we've got anyone doing particularly well in the world cup but the governor refusing to go down to russia

surely with this mess they should be riding high in the opinion polls and would the opposition labor party be any better at delivering brigs it than the governing conservatives will certainly we've seen that labor party have not been able to fully capitalize in the polls in terms of taking over the conservatives. they have a problem also with threats at their bricks that position is quite ambiguous for them i think at the moment as the opposition that works well they're able to allow the conservative party to tear itself apart and they only really have to face up to coming up with a plan for bracks it if the government falls over said they want to do that and if that happens i think the labor party are also going to find themselves in trouble when it comes to coming up with a coherent position on. guns and less is briggs it inevitable can anything no prevent it a second referendum perhaps. in the events the last few days have made no situation much like we have now three months ago the food the final summits not taber this is all meant to be wrapped up and signed off now the moment the gov

just over a year ago now senior labor party star members that are hall style to jeremy corbin that's the leader of the labor party they used targeted facebook ads in order to trick the labor leader into thinking that the campaigns that he wanted rolled out nationally in terms of facebook advertising were being rolled out nationally in actual fact they were just being targeted at the labor leader and his close group of aides and journalists that he knows so it was the campaigns that the senior party officials hostile to jeremy call been the ones that they didn't approve of that they did that to jeremy corbyn would be under the mistaken impression that these campaigns are being rolled out nationally so bit of a twenty first century sabotage and take a listen to the way that jeremy corbyn the labor party leader was. by is only parsi . although they were told to be from ation one of their regarded as month gap such as one on the water registration they made sure that few sources must just accept a tiny slice of left wing activists if it was there for them they thought it must be there fo

i can tell you that i've been speaking to the deputy leader of the labor party, the right-hand plan, so to speak, of jeremy corbin i'm going to bring you the tape in a very short while's time he didn't outside say that he wouldn't work on getting through brexit legislation he didn't say he was there to challenge, he wants to rule out cross party support for what mrs. may is doing. i think that's part of mrs. may's calculation. she hopes to bring in support while she perhaps jettison's support from the hard brexiteers even if they're not prepared to back her overtly, do they want a general election do they want to potentially let in a government led by jeremy corbin that is perhaps the greater of two fears and avoiding another challenge. >> absolutely, steve still a lot to contend with there. it's going to be exciting the next couple of months and thank you, jeff, for joining me on the set. i'm sure it won't be the last time we discuss brexit. >> no, i have a sinking feeling. >> but make sure you stick around with my interview with sir michael fallon that's in 15 minutes' time >>> let

fall into line behind the prime minister simply because it is running scared of the opposition labor party. i think that it's a very important point that many of them are sort of clinging to their words they say but the point is that even if treason may were to be deposed then the new prime minister would still be in the same weak position that any prime minister would be in at the moment because the u.k. has almost no cards to play against the european union and so when the e.u. says we're not going to accept this check is deal you'll either have the full thing about and customs union or none of it except northern ireland then no prime minister no matter how strong or charismatic is going to be able to change that position because the e.u. at the moment has no incentive to to give britain what it wants because the e.u. is its credibility and each interest stake and the e.u. has all the power at the moment because it knows that the u.k. cannot settle for no deal partly because it gives a part of it would never accept that and partly because its equipment and national self-immolation is sim

micro-targeting in trying to control and build to send within the official government opposition the labor party and jeremy corbyn has been targeted in this too so you know this goes across all sorts of countries. one of america's two major parties the democrats may be entering a new era of left leaning progressive politicians are increasingly unseating political establish better mop and takes a closer look at the trend. diane feinstein has long been a top boss among the democratic party but recently the california democratic party decided not to throw its weight behind her but instead to give its endorsement to a progressive named kevin dooley are now kevin de leon saw this is a political blowout this is what he said about his shocking victory we presented californians with the first real alternative to the worn out washington playbook and of course a century this fits a pattern here in new york city a twenty eight year old socialist defeated a long time representative crowley now nancy pelosi a leader of the democratic party says that progressive is gaining the upper hand is no big deal this i

prime minister who will then negotiate a better deal with the microscope well given that the labor party are just as divided as the conservatives on this anyway do you think labor really could do a better job where we can if you look back it was only about two or three percent of labor m.p.'s voted to leave because they knew leaving the is going to damage our economy it will cost us jobs they'll be less investment coming to britain so we've got to get that across to people and i think we can everything that's come out in the last two years has been bad news most businesses criticising the government nothing's cause better in our economy we're limping along with his the full rate of growth wages have holding behind inflationary we've had the worst ten years in our economic history you got to go back to the time of napoleon for a period as bad as this scenario to me that's not vote winner. so where do we go with the break that process from hair i mean according jeremy corbyn it's just been two years of time wasted with the cabinet infighting what's the next step from here. well german righ

on happy with his left wing politics and to illustrate the space in the party a poll a couple of years ago showed that the labor parliamentary party ranked conservative leader to reason may higher than jeremy corbyn their own leader but corbin survived several coups against him so he's perhaps unfazed by this sort of behavior nevertheless the revelation did raise eyebrows in the corbin camp today take a listen to the reaction from the corbin teens. it's bizarre that anyone would undermine plans to advertise votes to reduce duration during a general election despite fighting with point behind our backs by some on corporates of senior staff we achieved a lot just increase in labor's vote since nine hundred forty five. well corbin's team also said that despite the so-called uncooperative staff they were proven wrong anyway because the videos that stressed corbin's left wing policies on his own page and on the page of the campaign group momentum they outperformed the videos on the official labor website and video channels vastly less so according to the corbin teen they have the last laugh anyway. art is political

but they back an a amend to recall bill to let freedom of movement continue and labor party used to say that they respected referendum results. but now -- they are toying once again with a second referendum labor leader wonts rule it out and deputy leader won't and brexit leader won't rule it out and nothing could be better calculated to undermine our negotiating position and unless in our chances or field and holding ut out that vote in which ever side -- whichever side mr. speaker, any of the campaign on in that referendum the country made a decision and we should now get on with a hand that's what the government is doing. thorn bury. >> argued that by leaving e.u. british people voted against the cuss tolls union. but that seems to be completely the opposite to what he used to say and i had taken bag to 2011 when he said that yes no referendum qowld not give us the information that he said and i quote -- that sharp division between status quo and quitting eu does not reflect the brexit views held in that country, for example, he said, if people voted to leave the eu would that mean h

the reason this sticks is because it happens internally labor activists and senior members of the labor party have accused labor of being anti semitic so so in that sense even if samus milne was on the right side of that debate as well the director of communications for jeremy get obviously a very senior voice leading in the opinion polls were a landslide maybe but that doesn't take away from the fact that labor have to be really careful in this area because from a completely pragmatic point. view what others might be able to say by way of constructive criticism of israel is seen as destructive self-criticism because labor's anti semitic ok but i mean when you criticize british policy i think you're insulting our sovereign majesty that i don't think she's too involved in this particular story i'm just talking about insulting countries there's going to there's a good story yesterday's white paper talking about security concerns and the need to keep countries we're importing being deliberately well wait to see who it is the guardian reports u.k. agrees to take in some white helmets evacuated fr
