how do you feel with a labour government now if you always have been a labour voter?t think they're going to do anything about one of the biggest things, the immigration coming in. i don't think they're going to do a lot about that. back at jack's, husband and wife rav and jazz were tucking into a late breakfast. she didn't vote but, in a city which has swung back and forth between the two main parties, he reluctantly chose labour. yes, i did, but it's not exactly because i wanted to, but i'm guessing more of majority supporters, so i've gone along with them, which i knew that labour would probably win, more than likely, but it is what it is, we've just got to see. despite the huge majority, the mood didn't seem as optimistic as it was the last time labour won a huge majority. but then the choice is never easy. labour won all three wolverhampton seats, but its vote here barely increased since the last time, when the conservatives won two. phil mackie, bbc news, wolverhampton. well, a recount in the last undeclared seat is taking place. there was initial count on thurs

after the last labour government. since the 1920s. so we should take no lessons from the labour party on housing and home ownership. let's see what rachel reeves has to say on this. let's see what rachel reeves has to say on this . i don't think to say on this. i don't think you can begin to fix the housing crisis unless you tackle the migration crisis, because, remember, you'd have to be building a new home in this country every five minutes, day and night. 365 days a year, merely to keep up with the number of people who are arriving legally, arriving legally arriving, that's not even the illegal migrants. and join the campaign. we learned from angela rayner that she wants to build social houses purely for refugees and illegal migrants, rather than for british people. and our children and grandchildren, which seems a very strange priority to me. what we as conservatives for stand is home ownership is helping the next generation onto the housing ladder. but we don't want to ruin our beautiful countryside. i believe you

government? yes, and labour have a massive majority _ government? and most people will say it is not necessarily the way you can govern properly but, yes, setting out what they want to do and what their priorities are, and a huge moment for them gathering in the house of commons and of course worth saying as well that the leader of the opposition now, rishi sunak, having to respond to it, probably not what he wants to do but watson his party have asked him to stay and do that in the short term. —— lots of people in the short term. —— lots of people in his party. showing the country what they are planning to do. what what they are planning to do. what has cau . ht what they are planning to do. what has caught your — what they are planning to do. what has caught your eye? _ what they are planning to do. what has caught your eye? the - what they are planning to do. what has caught your eye? the big - what they are planning to do. what has caught your eye? the big one | what they are planning to do. what| has caught your eye? the big one is about plannin

the phrase, a new labour government. nt, isn't it? >> because we know all the policy documents he wrote for starmer beforehand. big article in the sunday times and sunday about what he's got to do on migration. he calls all the migration. he calls all the migration problems by the way, with, well, it was at least it'd be a little bit more, less, more subtle. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> not very shown his hand. so quickly. >> he has shown so many people who've been waiting. i think he's got going on. i think he's got overexcited. he did. but you know. but the but the similarities are astonishing. i mean, there's a phd to be written about this gordon brown was the one who encouraged extra immigration. why? because it made the growth numbers look better, not the growth per capha better, not the growth per capita , not the wealth of capita, not the wealth of individuals, but the growth numbers. a lot better. he did that deliberately, right? all of the other things he did deliberately. he fiddled the books bluntly . he came in and bo

migrants were praying for a labour government because it would mean the end of the rwanda plan . adow home secretary plan. the shadow home secretary said the government had behaved in an arrogant manner, accusing them of tearing up the conservatives migrant plan without informing rwanda. his comments come as the tories set out a timeline for confirming a replacement for rishi sunak as the party's leader. but mr cleverly says for now, his focus is elsewhere. >> well, i've always believed that you should do the jobs that you need to do in the order that you need to do in the order that you need to do in the order that you need to do them. so nominations open tomorrow, so thoughts and activities about the leadership of the party in my mind, start tomorrow. today's work is about making sure that i discharge my duty as a shadow home secretary. i'll be at the despatch box later on today holding the new home secretary to account . to account. >> police investigating disturbances in the harehills area of leeds last week say they've made a total of 20 arrests. the riots are believed to hav

what a labour government, notjust the top, you know, not just the leader, but what a labour governmentctually look like. it seems a perfectly reasonable question to ask, but he was aware of what he saw, of the danger of entertaining that question, because it might look complacent, even though sure as heck he must have a pretty good idea of what that top team is going to look like. and by the way, i suspect it had looked pretty similar to the current line—up of the shadow cabinet, but perhaps with a few, uh, kinks and tweaks here and there to reflect particular things he might have concluded, uh, and or, uh, the prospect of one or two maybe, you know, not getting back to parliament. well, yeah, because the rumour mill at westminster, well, there's nobody at westminster. but in the social media around of people who are normally at westminster is kind of going into overdrive about certain members of the shadow cabinet not making it into the actual cabinet if there is a labour government come friday. and ijust suspect that's in the absence because because political journalists have got use

because we are going to hit the ground running to make sure there is a uk government, uk labour government just one failing government, they recognise they want to change for scotland too and that is why we have also redoubled our efforts here in scotland so in 2026, we complete stage two of change and elect a scottish labour government too. applause no doubt, friends, you will be hearing a lot more about that any and months to come. but hearing a lot more about that any and months to come.— hearing a lot more about that any and months to come. but right now, i want ou, and months to come. but right now, i want you. please _ and months to come. but right now, i want you, please come _ and months to come. but right now, i want you, please come to _ and months to come. but right now, i want you, please come to give - and months to come. but right now, i want you, please come to give the . want you, please come to give the loudest possible welcome to my friend, the person i have been absolutely proud to stand shoulder to shoulder and side by side with to deliver that change, my friend, our de

we ran as a changed labour party, and we will govern as a changed labour party. [applause] i do not promise you it will be easy. changing a country is not like flipping a switch, it is hard to come a patient and determined work, and we will have to get moving immediately. even when the going gets tough, and it will, remember, tonight and always what this is all about. i may have mentioned my parents a few times in this campaign. [laughter] once or twice. the sense of security that we have, the comfort they took from believing that britain would always be better for their children, the hope, not high-minded or idealistic but a hope that working class families like mine could build their lives around. it is a hope that may not burn brightly in britain at the moment, but we have earned the mandate to relight the fire. that is the purpose of this party and this government. we said we would end the chaos, and we will. we said we would turn the page, and we have. today we start the next chapter, but given the work of change, the mission of national renewal and start to

here in wales, it's particularly important because what i said before the election is that a labour governmentould be a game changer, because you would have a uk government working with the welsh government delivering for wales, rather than the conflict that i think we've seen too much of over the last 14 years. >> meanwhile, the new chancellor has been setting out her agenda today, announcing there's no time to waste in boosting the uk's economic growth. she said in fact, she'd make it her national mission. it was her first major speech, and rachel reeves promised major changes to speed up infrastructure projects and unlock private investment. she also argued that 14 years of conservative rule had cost the country £140 billion in growth. >> well, the number one mission of this incoming labour government is to grow the economy and to grow the economy . economy and to grow the economy. we need to get britain building the status quo of always saying no to new development, just isn't going to stand anymore. because if we continue like this, we will see living standards continue to decline , stand

he said that won't happen under this labour government . why? because of the government. why? se of the echr. we will not stop the boats by attempting to stop criminal gangs simply because it's too lucrative a business. do you think that's a fair point? this labour party won't have the bottle to tackle this in the same way, david blunkett did. >> no, i don't think it's a fair point. so just to say, first of all, that i'm a resolute brexiteer. i have many comrades in the labour party who support that. i think the government is moving in. this government is moving in. this government is moving into the right spaces as regards taking advantage of the opportunities that brexit opens up particularly, and this is my big argument with nigel farage, is that i'm pro ukraine. he seems to be pro—putin. i just don't understand it. so i'm looking forward to having a discussion about that , and we've discussion about that, and we've got yvette cooper, he said he's pro—putin. oh, he's always full of understanding. he's got a weakness for kind of authoritarian, tolerant, kind of foreign powers

when the labour government left power in - labour government left power in 2010, a note was left, wasncoming conservatives saying, there is no money left? is it any worse now than it was then? it is different now than it was then. in 2010, the conservatives inherited an economy in a very bad state but public in a good state, the incoming labour government has inherited a public realm with huge problems and an economy with sluggish growth since the financial crisis. ., ,., ., , sluggish growth since the financial crisis. ., . , ~' crisis. the labour party knew it would be difficult _ crisis. the labour party knew it would be difficult and - crisis. the labour party knew it would be difficult and this - crisis. the labour party knew it would be difficult and this is . crisis. the labour party knew it. would be difficult and this is why we are here today. we understand rachel reeves is about to make a statement. the first one as chancellor. in £20 billion of cuts is what has been flagged, we are going to listen to this statement live here on bbc news, we will get reaction as well when the

and i've made clear that being here on day three of the new labour government is a clear statement ofortance of northern ireland to me and my government, about resetting relationships and moving forward in a respectful, collaborative way. and we've had very constructive and positive discussions this morning. i have been very clear that my government has a mandate for change, for stability here in northern ireland, and a different way of doing politics, and i'm very pleased to have had the opportunity. so so early on in this government to be here, to have those discussions which have gone very well this morning . have gone very well this morning. the prime minister and a large part of the population have morad tahbaz, emma pattison and wokester. >> so how do you convince them that more money will be coming ? that more money will be coming? >> well, thank you very much. i mean, a number of issues were discussed this morning and as you would expect , finance came you would expect, finance came up, the health service came up, casement park came up, and we addressed those constructively. i

the new labour government has admitted the summer will be a challenging one for them, as the first boat full of migrants since the general election crossed the english channel this morning, the group of 64 illegal migrants was intercepted by a border force vessel and taken to a migrant processing centre in dover harbour. this afternoon. another boat also attempted but failed to make the crossing from france. it brings the total number of migrants crossing so far this year to 13,500. that's up 12% on the same period last yeah up 12% on the same period last year. and it comes after sir keir starmer announced the rwanda scheme is dead and buried, claiming he's not in the business of gimmick politics. now the prime minister concluded a whistlestop tour of the uk today to reset. he says westminster's relationship with the devolved nations sir keir met political leaders at stormont as part of his first official visit to northern ireland. since taking up the role. he was accompanied by his new northern ireland secretary, hilary benn, the prime minister was, of course, in scotland at the weeken

keir starmer has held his first cabinet meeting of the new labour government. er on his pledges. we will have more shortly, but let's talk about what has happened in wales. labour's success wasn't limited to wales. conservative party was completely wiped out — losing the 12 seats they had held. plaid cymru gained two seats — with their leader rhun ap iorwerth hailing the results as 'terrific�* in his first election as leader. let's get a sense of the sentiment in wales. joining me is deborah wilcox, baroness wilcox of newport delyth jewell, south wales east senedd member and lauren mcevatt, former special adviser to the wales office. very good to have you all here, as the rain starts to fall here at downing street. baroness wilcox, what difference do you hope it will make having a labour government here in london and in cardiff? the make having a labour government here in london and in cardiff?— in london and in cardiff? the first thin is in london and in cardiff? the first thing is going _ in london and in cardiff? the first thing is going to _ in london and in

i'm not going to sit here and pretend to you that i can build a prison on the first day of a labour government with that because it simply wouldn't be realistic. will people pay income tax on the state pension under labour? the position for pensioners in relation to tax will be exactly as it is now, and that is... but that could mean yes, couldn't it, in the future? that is the position set out at the last budget under this government. and that will remain the position. ladies and gentlemen, the prime minister. his rival rishi sunak has been in oxfordshire, with this warning about a labour government. don't sleepwalk into something that |you haven't thought properly about. think very hard about what it means for you and your family, _ and in spite of what all these polls say, every vote matters. - i asked the same question of the prime minister, along these lines yesterday. do you...? you must share a sort of sense of solidarity with gareth southgate, that you're doing a job where a million and one other people think they could do a betterjob than you. yeah, everybody in the stands and watchin
