stayed labour.ves are hanging on to what they've got. cleethorpes for example but they would expect to hang onto those kinds of seats. what are they doing a disturbing them forward? nothing outside scotland at all. 4am, let's look now, what do we have on the labour side? badly spent came in, the late joe labour side? badly spent came in, the latejoe cox, that was her constituency. and in london, people we re constituency. and in london, people were posting quite high percentages in places like boxall and dagenham... ——jo in places like boxall and dagenham. .. —— jo cox. in places like boxall and dagenham... ——jo cox. labourdoing very well indeed. scotland was co nsta ntly very well indeed. scotland was constantly offsetting the bad news for the conservatives, here you see aberdeenshire west, sterling berwickshire going to the conservatives in scotland, quite against any predictions that had been made. 5am, we are nearly there! moving forward, you can see the conservatives get the result of hastings

labour coming off best. 10,000 conservative majority. but there is also more liberal democrat orange on the map. they gained oxford west and abingdon so something for them to ta ke abingdon so something for them to take heart from. what happened in terms of percentages? the conservatives came first, 44%. but not far ahead ofjeremy corbyn‘s rejuvenated labour party. he piled on the votes since the last against. lots of young voters turning up to support labour at a very good 41% for them in second place. the lib dems bumping on 8% but focussing the vote better. the greens on 2% and ukip on 2%. that is significant. a crash for ukip. look at that, down 1196. crash for ukip. look at that, down 11%. that is why their leader resigned. people thinking before the election, all their votes go to the conservatives to help theresa may but that's not what has happened. labour have benefitted from ukip's collapse. so come with me to the house of commons. let's crunch the numbers. here are the government benches and the c

labour.sters vince cable and jo swinson have both taken back the seats they lost in 2015. the party's leader, tim farron held onto his seat of westmorland and lonsdale. the scottish national party has endured a series of shock defeats, including the loss of its former first minister alex salmond and deputy leader, angus robertson. they both lost their seats amid a scottish conservative surge. the party's best performance in scotland since 1983. first minister, nicola sturgeon, said that the losses were a blow to her and the snp indicating she had some reflecting to do on key issues including independence. in northern ireland both the sdlp and the ulster unionist party lost their seats. it was a successful night for the largest parties. the democratic unionist party won 10 seats and sinn fein won seven seats but will continue to abstain from sitting in parliament. the result could see the dup play a key role in any potential coalition negotiations with the conservative party. in wales, the lab

also labour in wales ran as welsh labour. the main face in wales ran as welsh labour. uk terms about the social care policy. there are some devolved issues here, but to what extent did the manifesto controversy for theresa may feed into anxiety in the welsh conservatives? they started the election campaign with real prospects of making advances. but we have seen theresa may stumble over social care, looking hesitant on the campaign trail, and herstanding has taken a real slide. she started the election as the most popular politician in wales but by the end of the campaign all the polling showed she was a long way behind evenjeremy showed she was a long way behind even jeremy corbyn showed she was a long way behind evenjeremy corbyn in popularity sta kes. evenjeremy corbyn in popularity stakes. plaid cymru added one seat to get up to four. what will they make of that? they will be pleased with adding a seat, but what of their overall performance?” with adding a seat, but what of their overall performance? i think they somehow got away with it. they only just held one th

labour benefited as well.vatives have 318 mps. they are the largest party but short of the overall majority. you need 326 mps to be able to out vote all the other mps put together. so the tories have a problem here. let's see the opposition benches. labour improved by about 30 seats here, 262. the snp, by contrast, losing more than one third, 35 mps. the liberal democrats have a dozen, the dup, the democratic unionist party in northern ireland have ten. sinn fein with seven, and in wales, plaid cymru have four and the greens keep one, caroline lucas. and the independent is in northern ireland. no ukip mps. for the first time, there are more than 200 female mps in the house of commons. let's go back to the challenge facing the conservatives. they are going to have to have a working relationship with democratic unionist party. they are short by eight, so we bring the democratic unionists in and we put their ten mps on to the government benches. and lo and behold, a majority of six. six is very slender. it's goin

ivoted labour. i've looked today faulted labour. how did you vote? i voted labour. voting history and did not agree with a lot of the things that our old mp had voted for. you voted against gay marriage and stuff like that but i really did not agree with andl that but i really did not agree with and i think rosa duffy seems to be more of a positive local mp. she seems to be very supportive of students and we see that is good for us as students and we see that is good for us as students. on that point about stu d e nts us as students. on that point about students was the tuition fees. was that a big point for you? jeremy corbyn were saying he would get rid of tuition fees. yes, i think pretty much all students... no student must have huge debt over them for the re st of have huge debt over them for the rest of their life, until they can pay it off but for a lot of people, it is an extremely long time. and it was free tuition until very recently. relatively recently in the 19905 recently. relatively recently in the 1990s when it was £3000 and it has gone up and up and

he's remaining as leader of the labour party but that is not the same as putting the labour

how are you feeling about labour this time? not very happy. have you voted labour before? 77 this year. i'm going to vote conservative because ijust don't think corbyn will do right, with the exit. i don't think he's strong enough. holly lynch was struggling to persuade leave voters to stick with labour, but theresa may's manifesto contained an unexpected present — a tory policy that was scaring voters, a new way of paying for care for the elderly. we'd always known that adult social care is a long—term problem, in fact, theresa may would say often, politicians have been ducking this problem for years. we can never fix the long—term problems in hospitals and people at home without addressing it. but it's not something you whack into a manifesto and try to brief overnight. the plan was to make those people who needed to be cared for at home pay more, if they own their own house. there was no cap on what they might be charged. it was quickly dubbed "the dementia tax". things like this dementia tax, you know, scare me quite a bit. we didn't buy a house to pass it on to the go

and labour? expect. jeremy corbyn spoke of labour forming a minority government but thatis forming a minority government but that is not realistic? it does not seem that way at the moment, theresa may did the formalities, going to the palace to meet the queen and said she would form a government. it does not feel like we are in that territory but it is a total contrast at the start of this campaign, jeremy corbyn‘s internal critics in the labour party were pretty sure that this would be a complete disaster. late in the day yesterday people were saying to me, we are being battered outside of london. it is going to be awful. yet, he finds himself with dozens of seats. labour lost as badly last night as they did in 2010 and i think when jeremy corbyn gets back to his day job, we will see whether his strength as a campaigner translates into a more effective opposition. but you have to say that his performance was excellent compared to expectations, and he is absolutely safe. law, we will come back to

now labour.os on social media which had tens of millions of views and shares. a lot of young people as well don't really read all the newspapers that were kind of doing their smear campaign against jeremy corbyn, so i think people underestimated how effective sharing stories and photographs was. university fees and for people going back, it is over a fresh and you see someone who will stick to his word. what do you think about his image and the campaign varane?” what do you think about his image and the campaign varane? i think he did well, he did turn up to the debates and tirade didn't —— he ran. i think people were quite interested in his antiestablishment rhetoric and people sat on the backbenches and people sat on the backbenches and fighting for the small people, the little man, for 30 years. insiders at labour hq said this result was absolutely a victory for jeremy corbyn. they say the interviews voters, especially the young, by offering clear, popular policies —— infused. the question 110

labour benefited as well. of commons, because that is where all of the action happens now. so with one seat still to count, the conservatives have 318 mps. crucially, they don't pass this line, 326 is the number of mps required to have a so—called overall majority. where this party can outvote all of the other mps put together. they cannot do that. let's see the opposition benches... labour improved by about 30 seats here, 261. the snp, by contrast, losing more than one third of theirs. the liberal democrats have a dozen, the dup, the democratic unionist party in northern ireland have ten. sinn fein with seven, and in wales, plaid cymru have four and the greens keep one, caroline lucas, and there is just one independent as well. but there are no ukip mps, that independent is from northern ireland. for the first time, there are more than 200 female mps in the house of commons. it means the conservatives have a problem. 318, how do they gather? the obvious political soul mates are the dup. currently, they would

and hope for labour.e will be treated and hope that the pensioners will keep the triple lock and security they need and hope to invest in our economy all over the uk. he is‘ in the aiming for government, but wants the lib dems to be the party of opposition and in the west midlands, first thing today, urged voters not to give theresa may a blank cheque. to make to make sure people have the opportunity to resist the taxes and to give a final day on the brexit deal is a stroke offer that the liberal democrat will reap rewards for. in scotland the snp are warning a vote for labour will let theresa may into government through the back door it is time to end the attack on low—paid people, the disabled and vulnerable in our community. we need toned tory austerity, cancel attacks on the welfare state and invest in public services. after the vote to leave the eu, ukip are fighting to stay relevant and pushing for a hard brexit. i mean a brexit where we reduce immigration, where we don't pay a divorce feel and wher

yes, the suggestion is that labour, labourcampaigner, yes, the suggestion is that labour, labour campaignerthey are fro suggesting the labour party but they are using bots to generate constant likes on twitter, on facebook and so on, labour have been good at this digital stuff, so, i on, labour have been good at this digital stuff, so, lam on, labour have been good at this digital stuff, so, i am curious to know whether they are actually even if it was being done by the party, whether they are breaking any rules or not. i don't see why not either. did you get up to this kind of thing, i bet you did. what you find when it is done automatically. you are among friends, only us three, did you have bots putting out m essa 9 es did you have bots putting out messages knocking mr miliband in 2015. no, we didn't. i believe you. fake news hasn't dominated the election in the way it did with the us elections. seven days to go. i read this and 0k, they have fake bots on twitter but it is an echo chamber i won't move the dial, facebook is much more important as a platform. i think the average time someo

no matter what that's a labour mp with labour values, matter what that's a labour mp with labourvalueser what that's a labour mp with labour values, independent thinking for this constituency and that is what is required for this constituency, somebody independent, that's what they will get with me. edgbaston was home to one of birmingham's famous sons, a businessman and politician, and now his great, great granddaughter is determined to be one too. the polls have been buried in terms of what they think the chances are. the response i'm getting on the doorstep is positive, i'm meeting labour voters who cannot stomach the idea ofjeremy corbyn being prime minister of this country and they say they are prepared to switch. edgbaston is the kind of seat people pay close attention to, particularly this time around when a popular mp is retiring. so what would it take for the conservatives to turn this seat blue? in 2015 gisela stuart got 18,500 votes compared to the conservatives' 15,500, she 18,500 votes compared to the conservatives'15,500, she doubled her majority but it still narrowed, ju

here we have a labour manifesto and the labour top team that does not play by the traditional rule booksy people with and sound like ordinary people with a desire to improve our country for the better. what are you saying to those in your own party who said at the beginning of the campaign that the beginning of the campaign that the leader was a liability. the thing about a six—week campaign is that we are out there knocking on doors and trying to convince people that there is a better way of doing things, politics is not have to be as it has been in recent years, that isa as it has been in recent years, that is a unifying factor across the parliamentary labour party and the candidates out knocking on doors as we speak. we now that a labour government is better than any alternative conservative government thatis alternative conservative government that is on offer. we want to put that is on offer. we want to put that case, to change our country for the better on education, on health, on the economy, making sure our elderly people had dignity in old age, and that is the vision we are putt

i think the odds are that the labour government... i think the odds of a the labour government... here. i can only respond to one point at a time. i think what labour are doing is a very clever and canny political ploy to expose the fact that theresa may humiliatingly lost this election and now has a coalition of chaos. jeremy corbyn lost this election. what i think will happen... i want to bring in thomas to talk about the other issue, which is the brexit negotiations. does this result in any way change the landscape models those in positions? well, i wonder what the will of the people really is? theresa may keeps quoting the will of the people and someone to write a novel about 50 shades of brexit. 50 is enough. and so in a sense, we have to wait and see. we cannot legislate about what is going to happen. we cannot speculate. we have to wait for the negotiations. will they be pleased are disappointed with or disappointed with the outcome, do you think? i think they will be pretty neutral, on balance. this is too serious a matter to be sort of hoisted on what you prefer or what y

definitely for me he was the reason i voted labour, definitely for me he was the reason ivoted labourg for in a leader. previously leaders like ed miliband and even other possible candidates such as 0wen smith, they were not what i was looking for, they were new labour, jeremy corbyn ‘s traditional socialist values are exactly what i wanted and what a lot of other young people wanted. hollie, a big nod from you. you are a youth worker. you were nodding.” voted labour because i very much think it should be speak for the many and not the few. jeremy corbyn is very honest, i have done a lot of research into him and soon he is a very honest politician. he has been campaigning since he was young. he comes across as authentic and i agree with his manifesto in the way he puts across what he wants to win and he really cares for the majority of the public. the four of you don't know each other from before, luke, you were nodding along, you voted conservative, but you understand that many younger people, as we understand it, we don't have the full figures but you understand that people would wa

labour would tax more and spend more on schools and hospitals.hey would still be cuts to keep trying to balance the books. they have very different takes on the kind of country this is, and what they want it to be, and a very different leader trying to persuade you to let them take us there. it is not a contest of who can cover more miles. mrs and mr may in the tory plane, the former remainer who wants to ta ke plane, the former remainer who wants to take us out of the eu seemed unassailable — not now. to take us out of the eu seemed unassailable - not now. we have set out how we would deliver on the challenges, how we will make sure we are addressing those challenges. but you didn't have to call this election, and you are asking people to trust you for five years after a campaign where the sense is that you have said as little as possible. what i have said to the british people is to be open with them about the challenges this country faces, but also about the opportunities that we have in this country, and i think that is absolutely the right t

on the labour side?you describe things on the labour side7m may camp, how would you describe things on the labour side? it looks confident here as well, we are in watford which was labour under tony blairand watford which was labour under tony blair and now has the conservative mp. labourare blair and now has the conservative mp. labour are trying to save their on the attack, not simply trying to defend a vulnerable seats. but whether that confidence is misplaced oi’ whether that confidence is misplaced or not is another matter. there are not many wavering voters here as the crowds gather. what we have seen through the day at these rallies is thatjeremy corbyn through the day at these rallies is that jeremy corbyn can through the day at these rallies is thatjeremy corbyn can certainly drum up support on the stump as many people are committed to his leadership and have turned out to see him time and again. it is whether those uncommitted voters join in. at the moment they're trying to put forward a differ

labour. i've always voted labour. i decided about a week ago.ecided? because they are all as bad as one another and they make promises and it doesn't come off. will you vote? i haven't decided. he hasn't decided if he's going to make a decision! i decide on the day, i'lljust go and put an x on whoever. we want to do what is best for the disabled and we are not yet sure which party will do that, aren't we, thomas. you've decided to be undecided, fair enough. because of the weak leadership of the labour party of decided to vote for theresa may for the first time ever, it's a break with family tradition that you have to do what's best for this country and jeremy corbyn isn't best. he knows what he's doing, theresa may just once best. he knows what he's doing, theresa mayjust once and for herself, i don't think she considering anyone else. but iraq shejust considering anyone else. but iraq she just wants it for herself. there's been too much on the news for me to take it in, that's why, i think. otherwise i would decide if i could understand it a bi

to "divide" labour mps. feels is right. so i felt that given that we had come out of the general election with such an unexpected result, there was a real euphoria. to try and divide labour mpsa euphoria. to try and divide labour mps a week and a half in was a bit disappointing. but we are still buzzing. we will get over it and move on. with me is sebastian payne, political lead writer at the financial times, and ben riley—smith, assistant political editor at the telegraph. the fun and games continue. sebastien, how much stronger position do you think theresa may have at the moment, bearing in mind that she has had a difficult few weeks? a little bit stronger. this is the best week she has had since the election. it still does not mean she is in a secure position, because she is in a secure position, because she got through her first pmqs, which was a test for her support within the party. conservative mps clearly decided to rally around her and prop her up for as long as she wa nts to and prop her up for as

i still think the public have big reservations about labour. the labour party... to work out what you think the best thing for the country would be, would it be another general election?|j for the country would be, would it be another general election? i think the best thing for the country, i know this is difficult, but the best thing for the country in my view, lets get to the nub of what is causing this utter chaos, she goes on about the coalition of chaos, what is causing it is fundamental divisions in the country that have been exposed and triggered by the referendum, the european referendum, andi referendum, the european referendum, and i think if the politicians of all parties can somehow work out a way, let's just park that for a bit, let's work out a way forward on that, and i hope thatjeremy corbyn, because theresa may does not have the capacity politically or psychologically to do what she needs to do, and i hope jeremy corbyn comes in and says, i will talk the lib dems, the smb, i will talk the lib dems, the smb, i will work out whether there is a way

this time round, labour started from a very low base.ievement, where kensington in london is now a hotbed of socialism. canterbury, which has been a conservative seat since the 19th century... but why dismiss people based on their age? it is notjust young voters. obviously, there aren't14 million people under 25. the problem is that owen is right. 40% of the vote is a huge chunk. the problem is under the first past the post system, that does not necessarily transfer into seats. that is why there is no ukip around any more. the conservatives got a higher proportion than that. they got a higher proportion than margaret thatcher, which won her famous landslide. so the smaller parties collapsed, this is why this has happened. i really want to make a point about the vision. i think this is a repudiation clearly of anything it is of the politics of focus group and message control and public relations and advertising slogans. this is finally a return to ideological politics, which is probably a healthy thing. but the cynicism of that period, wh

labour picked up an extra 29 seats.onservatives had a vote share of 42.4% with labour at a0%. 40% is normally the kind of figured that wins elections, that is how high the turnout was last night. ukip supporters, we have been discussing, that has collapsed. they lost 10% of their vote and the snp lost 10% of their vote and the snp lost 21. our first report is from our political editor, laura kuenssberg on the results, this report does contain flash photography. is this strong and stable, prime minister? she who dares doesn't always win. the most votes, the most seats, but under this stinging glare, no iron gates nor police protection can shield theresa may from the accusation she looks a political loser. the trappings of power, the visit to the palace, help from northern irish mps mean she can gather enough support to stay on. but having believed herself to be on the brink of a sizeable majority, going backwards seems like defeat. i have just been to see her majesty the queen and i will now form a government. a governme

you might want to ask this labourtrap. —— question you might want to ask this labour trap. —— labourrtrap. —— labour chap. the money will come from the proceeds of growth. the risk is the economy will tank and be shredded by labour proposals that you have heard tonight and seen in their manifesto, tonight and seen in their manifesto, to increase taxes on british businesses. taxes will be lower than they were... there is something extraordinary about the content from jeremy corbyn towards the guy who was worried about the impact of taxation. what these people do not understand is that everybody in this country depends on the success of those businesses. you do not have the faintest idea. they are a communist cabal who have taken over this thing and they are not supported by 75% of labour mps. he is one of the few who supports jeremy corbyn, if he is an mp. they have a range of views that date back to the 1970s, they would take this country backwards and it is not right for britain to dave. i thought prime minister max sketched out a powerful vision of how to make the most of brexit to

many young voters poured into sport labour.ts bumpy long—on 8%, although they are focusing better this time. the greens on to be said. ukip on 1% is a big part of the story. their voters crashed. look at that, down 1196. voters crashed. look at that, down 11%. it was thought it would go straight to the conservatives but he didn't. labour benefited as well. this is where all the action will be 110w. this is where all the action will be now. have a look at the government benches. the conservatives have 318 seats. they are the largest single party but are short of an overall majority. they need 326 to be able to upload all the other mps put together. so the tories have a problem. let's have a look at the opposition bench. and improve the labour party. the snp by contrast down by more than one third. only five mps now. a dozen for the lib dems. in northern ireland, the dup celebrating ten. sinn fein have seven. played —— the independent is a northern ireland mp. no one from ukip in the house of commons. there are more than 200 fema

labour did badly in 2015, so they need to improve.re they came closest, gower the conservatives won by only 32, derby north, croydon central, vale of clwyd et cetera. labour need to win all of these, plus half the next board, just to become the biggest single party in a house of commons. they need to win all the seats here and the whole of the third board, another 32 seats, to have an overall majority, so huge mountain to climb from such a long way back. so too the lib dems — they we re way back. so too the lib dems — they were reduced to only eight seats and outs commons, let's see them, this is what they won in 2015. they surely have to defend them. they could win the whole of this board, and other 32, and still not be where they were after 2010 with 57 seats. so they really need to make some advanceis so they really need to make some advance is here. different story for the snp, who, as we heard earlier from sarah smith, took nearly everything in scotland. these are the 32 most marginal snp seats, darting where it was closest, berw

, but i have spoken to several labour mps who are going to several labour mps who are going to vote foreheadis parliament is going to be dominated by compromise and the government has found that out today. we will be back with you ina out today. we will be back with you in a moment. with me now is lord heseltine, the former conservative deputy prime minister. i was asked in what is at stake. what is your answer?” i was asked in what is at stake. what is your answer? i do not think there's anything at stake. the government will win it does not suit the opposition to bring the government down. they will give them about 18 months and then exploit the difficult circumstances that will face them. earlier there were the usual shouts from journalists about quality and hanging on. what is your assessment of the prime minister's authority now that we have these formal votes? the formal vote does not make a difference. the government does not have a majority and everything is going to be overshadowed by the brexit negotiations. inflation is increasing because of the pound. talk of tax increases, inter

they served labour very well indeed. they served labour very well indeed.iberal democrats had a terrible time in 2015 with only eight ayotolla h time in 2015 with only eight ayotollah khomenei and they will be looking to improve, disastrous if they don't. dash—macro seats. let's not forget the other parties, the welsh nationalists, the greens, the welsh nationalists, the greens, the parties in northern ireland. in the parties in northern ireland. in the end, this election surely comes down to the marginal seats, the ones that were closest last time. here are the top 120 marginal. these are the seeds that labour need to win. if the observed as can hold onto the blue ones here, theresa may is almost certainly back in number ten. jeremy vine they're looking back and also forwards. let's get more on this from the political analyst, professorjohn curtice who joins us live from the bbc election centre in elstree. we spoke immediately after theresa may called the election, called at a time when the tories were riding high in the polls but things have changed quite

labour would tax more and spend more on schools and hospitals.re'd still be cuts to keep trying to balance the books. they have very different takes on the kind of country this is, and what they want it to be, and a very different leader trying to persuade you to let them take us there. it's not a contest of who can cover more miles. mrs and mr may in the tory plane, but of credibility, the former remainer who wants to take us out of the eu seemed unassailable — not now. we have set out how we would deliver on the challenges, how we will make sure we are addressing those challenges. but isn't it the case, you didn't have to call this election, and you are asking people to trust you for five years, after a campaign where the sense is that you have said as little as possible. what i have said to the british people is to be open with them about the challenges this country faces, but also about the opportunities that we have in this country, and i think that is absolutely the right thing to do. the tory hope... why on earth do you want this job?! the

i'm a labour mp who gets on and supports the labour party.ame way this time. how do you think the campaign is going for labour at this point? i think the conservatives thought they could take people for granted, that they could glide through this election with trite slogans, and there is a feeling they have been trying to take people for fools. when you are driving around, campaigning, in your car with your team, what do you sing? it's really funny — i go out campaigning, you go to somewhere like the north—east or wherever, and you often get picked up by a labour party volunteer and they want to talk about policy, but i like to plug in my iphone and sing along to cheesy music and think i am peter kaye in car share. like what? it's really cheesy. go on. do you know starship? nothing's gonna stop us now? as luck would have it... are you going to sing? i don't know the words! # through the bad times. # whatever it takes is what i'm going to do. victoria joins in. i don't know the words! # just fall apart. you ready? here we go. # and we can buil

labour will achieve that.y still tried to push for access to the single market. of course. if, for instance, it involves paying the european union? we will have two c. access to the market may involve making payments. the prime minister has accepted that proposition. the question will be, what is the dividend, what does it mean for the economy? that is why we are going into negotiations. we would go into negotiations setting the agenda, privatising jobs and the economy. it also recognises that we continue to collaborate and cooperate with eu partners. whether thatis cooperate with eu partners. whether that is on counterterrorism, or whether it is on brilliant scientific medical research, these are countries that we have a shared history with, shared values with. we are leaving, we are not going to be members of the eu, but we do want to be partners. the tone and getting that right will set us up for the next generation. do you have any sympathy with voters that say your party and the conservatives, you still a

myself is that it labour as an next lefty myself is thatitis labour as an next lefty myself is thaton. this is now a monopoly, monopolised by urban professionals and middle—class university students, and there has been scarcely a word said about the tragedy, the post—industrial tragedy, the post—industrial tragedy, of working class communities in this country. it is now dead, that kind of life, a community built around a local industry, steelworks or manufacturing or coal mining. that is gone. we have lost a generation. and those are the truly forgotten people and nobody on either side of the fence and it is particularly culpable on labour's part has had a word to say about this. there is no easy solution, but they might have had something to say to the old industrial proletariat.” had something to say to the old industrial proletariat. i think that isa industrial proletariat. i think that is a very interesting point. obviously, 40% of the publishing voted for labour over that and are not middle—class professionals and university students. this will not work unless i can say... beca

an early polls say that up from labour. an early polls say that up to 11 of labour's seat in the general election will be offered grabs. more recent polls say labour are back in control and will hold onto those 25 seats. there are battle ground is all across wales. but what are the key issues facing voters in wales, what are they voting on? we had an assembly election last year, key policy areas like health and education are devolved. i have asked people what the main issues are for them, and what are the key issues coming out on occasions are brexit and voting on occasions are brexit and voting

i have always thought left of the labour party, that the labour party had the solutions. like this. with the corbyn thing, the same initials asjesus christ, jc, a bit of a cult of personality, and you have all given policy things, rather than corbyn things. jeremy corbyn, yes, he does have a fanclub. but undercutting that is the sense that things need to change and it is possible to change things. he is notjust a figurehead. it is notjust about him. this is about people who have bold ideas and believe it is possible for things to get better, and necessary. eve, a lot of people have said, trying, to some extent, to dismiss the durability of the kind of movement that has emerged, i suppose, that it is all about student fees, and whoever throws that at them, those that are the largest number of people, they win the election. i think you will say, no, it is not about student fees, but was it about student fees? my vote was not about student fees, because i decided early on i would vote labour, but he came out with the student fees and it kind of sold it for me. and you believ

may losing ground to the conservatives and indeed labour as well. does that mean that they need to change focus? will nigel farage be back in politics? he said only if it looks like brexit is in danger. but also spoke to nigel farage about the kind of brexit that could happen now, that theresa may has a weakened hand. let's listen to what he had to say. >> this morning, you know, we see cabinet ministers saying maybe we have to rethink leaving the single market or leaving the customs union. if the brexit, the british people voted for, gets betrayed, i would have no choice but to throw myself back into full time campaigning. >> do you fear that brexit as you envisioned it, as you worked for, it is in danger now do you think there will be a second vote potentially this year? >> i think what happened last night imperils the whole brexit process. i'm pretty upset about it. >> it is extraordinary, isn't it? many thought that brexit was done -- a torturous negotiation for the next couple of years or so. now some proponents think it could be -- you know, u

i would labour paek was the —— how would labour pay? -- how would labour pay?agic money tree was found for this deal because they found £1 billion like that, to hold onto by this and list of majorities. we had a fully costed ma nifesto, of majorities. we had a fully costed manifesto, we costed in that ma nifesto, manifesto, we costed in that manifesto, we costed in that manifesto, we had a recruitment of 10,000 extra police, 3000 extra firefighters and lifting the public sector pay cap. we think it can be done. it's not a question of priorities here, it's a question of making sure resources are available. the government doesn't believe in it, it's clear from the night's vote, but the labour party along with opposition parties will continue to fight for our public sector workers because they deserve more than the bad deal they've had for the last seven years. is the priority actually to end the public sector pay cap, not put more money in public services, if there was a choice would that be the priority? why are those choices? are ma nifesto, why are those choic

that could be the labour attack. business as brexit tensions escalate, in the ft. as brexit tensions escalate, in the ft, this was supposed to be the brexit election, i wonder if there will be more focus on this week, the suggestion that they confer with business to find out what is required after we leave the eu. she raises the possibility of a three—year transitional phase, which is the first time she has gone that far, looking at 2019 when we leave, it could be another two or three years before we finally removed completely from the european union. this was supposed to be the brexit general election, that is how it was framed by the prime minister when she announced the election, and the narrative is kind of run away from the conservatives, really, and in the conservatives, really, and in the same way that michael fallon talking about taxes is another attempt to bring it back to where they want the debate to be, because they want the debate to be, because they want the debate to be, because they want it to be abou

labour voters here. danny, what do you want labour to do, if anything?the eventualality that's the situation that can happen, but on a wider level this points out that the electoral system in this country needs electoral reform. that could bea needs electoral reform. that could be a whole two hour programme! we're not going to get into that now! can ijust not going to get into that now! can i just say to danny, absolutely. not going to get into that now! can ijust say to danny, absolutely. i have been saying to everybody, don't put your posters away, put them in the top drawer because there will be another election, it looks like, i am afraid and people may not want to have it, but it looks like that's where we're going to have to go. matt? one of the reasons that people are saying labour have won, i don't think we have won, but it has been a phenomenal turn around in six weeksment they weren't saying if we don't win, that's it. the response has been phenomenal. what do you wa nt has been phenomenal. what do you want labour to do now to capitalise on the

we'll labour actually be able to increase their majority because of the surge that labour have startede liberal democrats has been heavily targeted by the conservatives. most of the cabinet has visited there the campaign. mps and activists from all over the country have been helping out and the party is confident they will be able to take that seat tomorrow. the reason being because of back —— brexit. this was a largely leave voting region and brexit has been big issue and the lib dems policy of wanting another referendum on the final brexit deal does not seem to have gone down well. a few hours ago the prime minister was here in norwich to cheer up activists then her message was that brexit has a positive side and that once we leave the eu they will be extra money available for infrastructure and research and development. the conservatives are hoping for great things in the east in tomorrow's election. one of the key battlegrounds is the south west, which the liberal democrats are targeting as they try to make a comeback after losing nearly 50 seats at the last election. now a region

labour will start negotiations.tributes a huge amount to our society, they will be guaranteed their existing rights and remain in this country. cheering. and it is clear through our discussions with european leaders that it would be the best way to secure reciprocal rights for british nationals living in other parts of the european union. and i have written to colleagues in every single one of the member states asking them to ensure that british nationals living in their countries can remain there with exactly the same rights they enjoy at the present time, so that family life and family union isn‘t broken up by this decision. that is the sensible, decent, human way we should approach this issue. it is shameful the conservatives haven‘t acted on this already. that 3 million members of our communities have been left in limbo. the conservatives‘ refusal to make the simple commitment decency demands is a stain on this comment bus reputation. labour will be clear from the start, the british economy, business and workfor

labour held that. according to be exit poll, they should have 68%. 40 short of what the exit polls expected. done substantially worsen as part of the country and this is duplicated across the u.k. we could still see a conservative majority of 80-100 seats. similarly and sunderland central, the doors are up -- the tories are up by 10 points. we heard from george osborne, the editor of the evening standard, talking about the exit poll and saying this -- the p result could be catastrophic and could put theresa may's leadership and up. -- in doubt. yvonne: what do we look for now? give us a sense of the timeline. seb: i want to take it to wales. these are a lot of labour held seats but they are marginal. the our seats that the tories could take. if the tories do take them. simone is one of those. labour is saying it is forecasting a hold there. they were just ahead by 6/10 of a percentage point in 2015, small margin. they're also looking to hold self -- south. the interesting thing is they voted to leave i

it's the one that's run and overseen by the labour party.w england now in maths, reading and science, and that is labour's legacy for welsh children, that they would import to english children if they ever get the chance. i will give way. the welsh government are quite open about the fact we need to get better scores in terms of the results. but what i will not have from the secretary of state is the way, yet again, that tory government are trying to demonise wales. they did it before on health, the line between life and death, it is a disgrace. will she not apologise to the people of wales? they will never be credible to parents in england, until labour sets out why it feels it is failing children in wales and failing children on opportunity. i will give way, then i will make more progress. the honourable lady quite rightly talks about credibility in the eyes of parents for the government strategy. can i ask her then, what credibility does she think her government has with parents when schools are sending home letters requesting donations s

you have a target at the un to eliminate child labour by 2030.e have spoken to the day had said it is not achievable. the problem needs to be addressed at the grassroots when it comes to society and education. what is the plan for the un to carry this out, and how confident are you will be able to reach this target? they have been agreed by member states and the global community. it is very important that member states have to ta ke important that member states have to take proactive action to prevent child labour. and clearly, today, children have to be in school for basic education. to achieve child labour in 2030, more children have to be in school. that is quite a task. but clearly, if countries want to achieve that, investment indication is important. investment in social protection for families is important. and that requires more effo rts important. and that requires more efforts to reduce poverty at the country level. but that can be done only if, at the country level, every single partner, every single actor, from the community, the poli

of the public for the prime minister and for the labour leader, jeremy corbyn. what's come out very clearly is that theresa may is still under pressure to detail exactly what she hopes to get for britain out of brexit, while mr corbyn was pressed on whether he'd press the nuclear button, his plans for corporation tax, in the labour party. they weren't easy questions by any means, and theresa may will be 45 minutes each of hard grilling by members of the public for the prime minister and for the labour leader, jeremy corbyn. what's come out very clearly is that theresa may is still under pressure to detail exactly what she hopes to get for britain out of brexit, while mr corbyn was pressed on whether he'd press the nuclear button, his plans for corporation tax, and other controversies such as anti—semitism in the labour party. they weren't easy questions by any means, and theresa may will be hoping it will have some impact in the conservatives favour after a week of disappointing polls. let's speak to labour's joint general election coordinator chief, andrew gwyn
