and he said, no, the labour party is abroad church.s coming out as we're hearing speculation about tom watson and whether there will be a move on him. right of centre. the ides dear to replace tom watson with emily thornberry who is a much closer ally and she is right next door. this is interesting timing, i think, and and she is right next door. this is interesting timing, ithink, and i think it might be deliberate, it is to say that don't forget the labour party has in the past tolerated a wide for a ride to your views. only this week, tony blair said he could imaginejeremy corbyn becoming prime minister witchy bbc thought was impossible. a lot of people in the labour party think only one person worse than any conservative is in fa ct to ny worse than any conservative is in fact tony blair and here's the line in what for everything that is disgruntled about the labour party, ten yea rs disgruntled about the labour party, ten years after he has stepped down. the fact that people still talk about blairites and he hasn't been the leader

look at the labour party. imagine if the labour party we re party.gine if the labour party were led by a real, pro—eu campaigner, and the labour party we re campaigner, and the labour party were pro—eu. imagine how much difference it would be and how much more weakness they would sense in europe. you can almost hear that lament in tony blair's voice. he has put himself in the wrong position, that he would get some of the blame ifa that he would get some of the blame if a brexit doesn't work.|j that he would get some of the blame if a brexit doesn't work. i think labour will end up there, but it is very carriers, because so many labour seats voted for brexit. they are inching their way forward is, including jeremy corbyn. his instincts may be different, but if he ever becomes the prime minister, it will be on the back of the brexit question. they are trying not to move faster than the people are moving. it is not good for the world, world stability. the changes in america as well, the new leadership, taking advantage of this shaky situation. serving i

a great tension between those parts of the labour party that want to reconnect with the working classre does that take us? >> that takes us to two parties that are currently very divided. within which, there will be internal arguments, the outcome of which none of us can predict. guy: thank you, professor john curtice, joining us from the university of strathclyde. up next, it is "surveillance." we will be joining deutsche bank's cio christian nolting. matt miller and i are now going to join the radio team. we will carry on the conversation with james athey from aberdeen asset management. is bloomberg. ♪ tom: the future of the fed is awaiting janet yellen's testimony. regulator. theresa may marks one year as tory party leader, but is forced to suspend an m.p. from racist language, reducing already slim numbers in the commons. the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson of the qatar crisis. this dialogue is the way forward, we are told. this

when did the labour party introduce national living wage? never believes that the conservative government. >> the minimum wage with opposition from the conservative party. wages are lower than they were ten years ago and the prime minister has been in office for just one year, during that time disposable income has fallen by 2%. the economic consequences of austerity are very clear and so are the social consequences. life expectancy stalling for the first time in 100 years. today, the iss forecast income any quality is going to get worse and child poverty will rise to 5,000,000 x 2022. does the -- >> order! members are shouting, shouting excessively. they must calm themselves, take some sort of soothing medicine. >> i will try to help the honorable member. that is the prime minister not realize that her talk of a strong economy doesn't remotely match the reality that millions of people face with low wages and poverty? >> the right honorable gentlemen is wrong in some of the fact he is putting forward. inequality is down, life expectancy is co

imagine if the labour party were led by a real pro—european and the labour party we re pro—european andabour party were strongly pro—european. imagine how different it would be and how much more weakness they would sense in europe. you can most here that lament in tony blair's voice, saying that labour put himself in the wrong position and when getting some of the blame if brexit does not work. having labour will end up there, but it is very precarious, because any labour seats voted for brexit. they are inching their way forward, including jeremy corbyn. his own instinct might be anti—european, but not that much. if he ever becomes prime minister, it will be on the back of the brexit question. they are trying not to move faster than the people are moving. it's very tricky. a week europe is not good for the world, no doubt, world stability. and with the changes in america as well. the new leadership in america would take advantage of this shaky situation in europe to serve its own interests. as far as the arab point of view, it is the same, they would rather have a unified and strong eu

i read that the health secretary now supports the labour party policy of scrapping the cut, althoughe with us last week. will he tell them to scrap the cap and will he publish these instructions before the summer recess? i did not vote for his amendment because labour said a lot about how they want to spend the money without having the faintest idea of where it was coming from. but i think he is ignoring an elephant in the room which is that if we had followed the spending plans campaign, the nhs would have £2 billion less this year, the equivalent of 85,000 fewer nurses. i want to talk about the spending plans in 2017 where he can find £1 billion for northern ireland and nothing thought nurses in england. maybe you should put the money from the corporation tax cut into doctors and nurses and giving them a pay rise. let me tell you what extra money is going into the nhs, three years ago £1.8 billion not asked for by labour, £58 billion, two years ago, a billion more than labour were promising and this year £13 billion which is a lot of extra money and why is it going in? because we h

and yet on top of a long list of unaffordable spending pledges, the labour party happily makes pledgesse unsustainable damage to the public finances. the facts are based on the most up—to—date evidence and clearly set out in the government actuaries report life expectancy is going up. healthy life expectancy is going up. healthy life expectancy at the age of 65 is also going up and the government has to face up to this long—term challenge and not pretend it doesn't exist. we should celebrate increased life expectancy but it has consequences for fiscal sustainability that cannot be ignored. the review is a serious piece of work with a clear recommendation in terms of the pensions age, in contrast to the party opposite we will act responsibly and accept that recommendation. i commend his statement, it used to be a case that the labour party worked on a consensual basis on the facts and they now have departed from that. he is aware that we have a proud track re cord is aware that we have a proud track record in reform automatic enrolment, we got rid of the default retirement age will be p

there were suggestions from the labour party and other critics of the central government's handling ofhis, as well the local council was mccambley, that an independent commissioner should be appointed by sajid javid to deal with the council's issues on all of this. the government says that will not happen, selling at the short term and that has no plans to appoint any independent commissioners. at the council has come forward with a replacement for the head of the council and we're now told that as elizabeth campbell. she has elected as the new leader of kensington and chelsea council. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10.40 this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are miranda green

this is part of a push back by the centre—right of the labour party. selection of mps and it isa reminderthat of mandatory selection of mps and it is a reminder that it is supposed to bea is a reminder that it is supposed to be a broad church here and according to this tony blair was the one to say when people were saying to get rid ofjeremy corbyn, he said hang on, we need to make sure there is this broad church. there is a bit of political irony. some people would have been very glad he had, looking back with hindsight, if only we got rid ofjeremy corbyn and then. things have changed somewhat in the la st two things have changed somewhat in the last two months. choosing your sex. in the sunday times, justine greening, deals with equality matters. she has talked about a step forward in terms of equality in this country. women's rights, the legalisation of same—sex marriage and now she says that has to come for transgender people and that is about changing... at the moment, if you want to change the sex on your birth certificate, that has to go through

waived completely, although they we re be waived completely, although they were introduced by the labour party by the tories later on, that it is absolutely capital that the conservative party change a lot of its fundamental core beliefs and therefore backed down on tuition fees. so this would be the mother of old u—turns. 0ne fees. so this would be the mother of old u—turns. one can imagine, if this is indeed true, that damian green would be saying something that we re green would be saying something that were not sanctioned by the prime minister herself. so one wonders what other of the core beliefs are going to be ditched in order to woo back the youth vote or indeed the actual votes —— the older fought. back the youth vote or indeed the actual votes —— the older foughtm makes you wonder what the tories really sta nd makes you wonder what the tories really stand for now, doesn't it? they keep changing. i would love to bea they keep changing. i would love to be a fly on the wall in thorpe hammond pots house right now. if this has landed on his doorstep, he will be taking his hero to rate now

imagine if the labour party were led by a real pro european and the labour party were strongly pro—europeane how different it would be and how much more weakness they would sense in europe. you could hear that lament in tony blair's voice saying that labour have put themselves in his view in the wrong position and a doubling of getting some of the blame of brexit does not work. labour will end up there, but it is very precarious because so many labour seats voted for brexit. they are inching forwards, including jeremy corbyn. his own instincts might be anti—european. he wants to be prime minister, and if he does it will be on the back of the brexit question. they are trying not to move faster than the people. it is very tricky. a week europe is not good for the world, world stability. and of course changes in america as well. new leadership in america take advantage of this tricky situation to serve its own interest and stop as faras to serve its own interest and stop as far as the arab point of view, it is the same, they would rather have a strong europe leading the region. and we have a e

poor opposition has been offered by the labour party.nue to look after scottish interests and fight for a place in the single market. i do also think it isa the single market. i do also think it is a great shame that he co nsta ntly it is a great shame that he constantly talks about wanting to stay in the single market, which he knows for a fact means not leaving the eu. in other words, for his colleagues, the scottish nationalists‘ own ends, they would seek to undermine the will of the united kingdom. that is totally undemocratic on this side of the house and i hope on the opposition benches, we will fulfil the will of the people. a short time later, the bill was formally put for parliament. well, a short time later the bill was formally put before parliament. second reading. what date? tomorrow. but don‘t be deceived by that shout of tomorrow — in parliamentary procedure a bill is always said to be read tomorrow — in reality the first big debate on the repeal bill will probably come in october. southern rail‘s parent company has been f

the number of people in work is actually growing and another indicator of the tightness of the labour partyus we have a warming labour market and yet it believes economists no more confident about the strength of this economy and the consumer led increases the bank of england. wage growth does not seem to make too much difference. because of the weight of inflation it is not actually making a difference. real wages actually fell by half a percent week to week. why is that and will that gap persist?‘ percent week to week. why is that and will that gap persist? a looks likely that this will persist because price growth is still accelerating. it is still fairly high and we expect it will move higher towards the end of the year, above the 3% mark and that the same time wage growth remains soft. the jobs being created are not necessarily paying much more. any increase that there is about wages and labour income is being eaten away by faster high street prices growth, leaving consumers worse off. a final word on interest rates. where does this leave the bank of england? more pressure presumably t

if the labour party brings in all this democratisation, that creates infighting in the labour party asection. will he lasts until 2019? oh, god, no. —— will he last until 2019? and do you think he will he last until 2019? yes, but if she goes she is replaced with another conservative and it does not change anything anyway. thank you both very much. he was a one—man media battle tank, the provider of alternative facts. and tonight he's gone. sean spicer, the president's official spokesman and bulldog in chief, resigned from the white house after mr trump hired a new communications chief, anthony scaramucci, as mr spicer‘s boss, something that mr spicer found hard to stomach. sean spicer has resigned from the white house after mr trump itu communications chief. something that sean spicer found hard communications chief. something that sean spicerfound hard to communications chief. something that sean spicer found hard to stomach. now, let's admit it, sean spicer may have broken the first cardinal rule of comms, don't become the story, but some people will miss him at his unique approach.

do you think labour party would have been as critical of this happening within a labour party authorityople's lives, these are people's homes. whether it's in kensington or another local authority, there are big questions that need to be resolved in terms of planning procedures, in terms of our building control mechanisms, in terms of a range of issues for the future. right here and now, though, we need to get justice right here and now, though, we need to getjustice for right here and now, though, we need to get justice for the right here and now, though, we need to getjustice for the grenfell residents. thank you very much. let's get the weather with louise. that's a lovely picture in cornwall. it's beautiful, i have found some sunshine. not much around at the moment but i am hoping there will be more in the sunshine that we have in cornwall at the moment. it is this slice of cloud or cloud—free zone across much of the west. a weather front is waiting in the wings, this cloud through much of central and eastern areas should thin and break up as we go through the day. it's an improving

i very much look forward to sharing the labour party's views this morning on the unemployment figuresnemployment is now down to its lowest levels since the early 70s. there are many members of this house who weren't born when unemployment was as low as this government has made it. as to the substance of the question, he said the government was seeking a good deal for britain that enabled us to trade as freely as possible with the eu while securing trade deals with other countries. emily thornbury said the point of the session was for her to ask the questions and mr green to answer them. we've got a chancellor demanding transitional arrangements, which a no—deal option makes impossible. we've got a foreign secretary making it up as he's going along. we've got a brexit secretary so used to overruling his colleagues that he's started overruling himself. and we've got a prime minister so bereft of ideas and she's started putting suggestion boxes around parliament. but as a country, as a country, we have got 20 months to go until brexit. we absolutely have got to get a grip. and if the par

where i disagree with the labour party's position is that it with the labour party's position is thatitisther hand to say, we will not at second reading support the necessary legislation to implement the decision. i think we need to explain themselves because i do not understand it. i explain themselves because i do not understand it. lam explain themselves because i do not understand it. i am willing to help the government along the way but i am also be a critical friend at the way this legislation is put together. loss of sound much of the concern centres on the issue of parliamentary scrutiny. the government can change the legislation without parliamentary scrutiny, is that a big enough issue for you to vote against the government? i don't see myself voting against this bill at second reading because this legislation is needed if we are leaving the eu. without it, we cannot leave the eu. asi without it, we cannot leave the eu. as i said, having accepted the decision of the electorate, i left the electric change their minds during the course of these bidders jesu, we will be leaving. th

however, the current leader of the opposition labour party, jeremy corbyn insisted that the result of last year's brexit referendum must be respected. thousands of people have marched through the streets of hong kong following the burial at sea of the jailed chinese nobel peace prize winner, liu xiaobo. the largely silent crowd walked to china's representative office in the territory to show their support for mr liu, who died on thursday. now on bbc news, it's time to look back at the week in parliament. hello and welcome to the programme. coming up: the government launches its repeal bill converting eu law into uk legislation. we'll be looking at the parliamentary battles to come. as the prime minister announces an inquiry into the abuse faced by candidates at the general election, one mp worries where the harassment will end. i think there is a serious risk that actually something much worse will happen. also on this programme: we talk to nicky morgan, the new chair of the powerful commons treasury committee. and: i'll be reporting on the clash of the deputies at prime minister's qu

if this is weakness, or if she is simply trying to expose the differences that exist within the labour partyurst the bubble that is currently being enjoyed within that party. certainly on the front foot at the moment, judging by the conversation i had with jeremy corbyn last week. joining us now, mark cudmore, joining us out of singapore. along with him, jordan rochester joins us on set. good morning. you are positive on the pound. do you see anything in the near term that changes that view? >> it is down to this week's jobs data. number, wea weak don't expect that, but if that were to happen, it could put a pause on the near-term rate hike that is on the way at some point. when that will be -- will it be this year or august as we expect some or some time in november, or even 2018. guy: you expect a 2017 hike from the bank of england? >> the bank of england made it quite clear. firm,g as the data holds then we do think august is more likely than not. guy: mark cudmore, you are in no way convinced of this. >> absolutely not. i think there is a chance of a hike in august. i would agree that th

help me understand the opposition labour party's position? it is justifying being this awkward? you are right. so labour agreed to help the government to start the brexit process triggering article 50, the official way that britain began its exit from the eu. but what this provides is the first real chance for labour and the other opposition parties to tinker with the government's vision for brexit. so it provides a platform really for labour to say we are going to get our version of brexit on to the stat toad books. if you take the charter of fundamental rights, the government saying it is not going to incorporate that charter into eu law, it will protect rights in other ways, labour are very clear on that, that that is a red line for them, they want that charrer into uk law, incorporated as it is now. and that is just incorporated as it is now. and that isjust one incorporated as it is now. and that is just one example, so what this is coming down to is specific, now, we are into the specific policy areas, and the specific visions of brexit,

ambivalent but he is also against the labour party's somewhat ambivalent stance on brexit. t labour should be backing the remain argument. he says if brexit is a terrible catastrophe, the costjobs later on, labour will also be blamed for not making the case for remain. that is what he is warning. thank you very much. laws on buying and carrying acid are to be reviewed by the government following a spate of attacks which took place in london on thursday night. five people had corrosive liquid thrown at them, including one man who is said to have suffered life—changing injuries. two teenage boys, aged 15 and 16, remain in custody on suspicion of robbery and grievous bodily harm with intent. andy moore's report contains flashing images and some scenes you may find distressing. where's it hurt, mate — your eyes? in the aftermath of the first attack, police doused the victim with water. he was protected by his helmet, and lucky to escape with only minor injuries. but even so, it was a terrifying experience. took off my helmet, and i was just screaming for help, because it was get

, the labour party were saying they would scrap tuition fees.ude would be the policy going for work? one of the points we try to make is that we do not think there is disaster here. 7796 do not think there is disaster here. 77% of the people having some date written off is not a crisis. what we are seeing is the government does not have a lot of control with regard to unpaid loans and itjust goes to the people with the lowest earnings and not with those who make of the most positive outcomes. what about the impact on decisions of people going to university. the fees have not made a difference there. that is one of the interesting things. there's this feeling that people would be put off by going to university. that is not a strong analysis of that. access to university for the poorest students was not really phoned by the 2012 reform, but the labour party believe both that may be a problem in the future, but also they may be a more general problem of having large debt. thank you very much. the headlines are coming up on the bbc news channel. in

the prime minister's offer to opposition parties to work with the government on major issues has been rebuffed by labourompletely run out of ideas". the strategy is being seen as an attempt by theresa may to reassert her authority since losing her parliamentary majority in last month's election. but tonight she's having to deal with a new problem brought here's our political editor laura kuenssberg. monday morning at the market. not any old shoppers. how are you? the prime minister and her australian counterpart, here to meet people caught up in the terror attack. but prime minister turnbull happens to be an old friend of theresa may. she does not seem to have many in politics, these days. thank you prime minister, thank you malcolm, for visiting us today and the excellent discussions we've had. it's always a pleasure to welcome our australian friends to london and even more so when we've just beaten them at the cricket. with fears about her authority in her own party, she is making an appeal for others to work with her. you want the opposition to contribute as well as to criticise, you are expected to

big, fat flying pigs doing loop the loops over westminster before you are to getjeremy corbyn‘s labour partyve party. on these big, thorny social issues, be it social ca re thorny social issues, be it social care or employment rights, tuition fees, the parties are miles apart. it is true to a lesser extent with other opposition parties. therein mind, too, that mrs may has never shown much appetite for working cross— party. shown much appetite for working cross—party. but there is a rather brutal reason as well, jeremy corbyn‘s labour party smell blood. they think today's 0fficemax of weakness. they are not going to help pf°p up weakness. they are not going to help prop up theresa may, babel stampede her into a general election. in a way, it seems to me, today's message is more directed at her own party, not the opposition, to say, i am brimming with ideas and energy. "i have my mojo back. there are tough policies are want to sort out." in other words, there is an agenda beyond brexit that could go on for yea rs. beyond brexit that could go on for years. in other words, theresa may is saying

they are saying what the labour party are saying, they are just taking money from the education budgetnment has been rattled by parents, opposition to school cuts. they knew it was an issue on the doorsteps in the general election, it may have lost them some seats. no doubt they are rattled. this is why they have gone away and found more cash. for this year hull is celebrating the uk's city of culture, nine places in the city of culture, nine places in the city getting listed heritage status. the humber bridge designated grade one status 36 years to the it was officially opened by the queen. let's talk to our correspondentjill archibald. she is by the humber bridge. what a magnificent sight it is. what has the reaction been? historic england describe the structure behind the as a formidable piece of engineering. they also like the way it was designed. despite being made mostly of concrete, they like the way it fits into the landscape. it is sympathetic in this area of the humber very flat. 36 yea rs area of the humber very flat. 36 years ago today it was officially opened by her majest

recently as june last year, the honourable gentleman said that the leader of the labour party is notminister and he called on him to resign. i suggest he might want to make peace with his own front bench before he starts being rude about ours. even when the party leaders are away, they clearly cast a very long shadow. the conservative andrew rosindell had a suggestion for the subject of small talk for mrs may in her conversations with king felipe of spain. would he asked the prime minister to remind the king of spain that gibraltar is british and their sovereignty will remain paramount. i'm happy to assure my honourable friend the government's position on gibraltar and the primacy of the wishes of its inhabitants which are overwhelmingly to stay british will be respected by the government. by this stage many mps had left their seats. ms thornberry and mr green had put on some decent theatre but as anyone in the west end knows, it is hard to replace the headline acts. henry mance. now, let's take a look at some other news from around westminster in brief. theresa may reported back on

the transformative message that the labour party is giving shows that we understand. bbc as someone who has on inequality drive. i certainly think there is in opportunity to look there. a 42 year low in unemployment, we've got more young people in work... the question was bit we need to revisit the pay cap? we have many city people in work given the difficult situation. is the pay gap over in the autumn? well it certainly should be we had in our manifesto in 2015.|j well it certainly should be we had in our manifesto in 2015. i think the pay cap is over. these people on the pay cap is over. these people on the big bucks, it's wrong and we will do something about it. gator at the stop there. —— we are doing to have to stop there. i think everybody is good to be glad for this summer break. everyone is exhausted after referendums, leadership contests and who knows maybe more leadership contest to come? thank you norman. now it's over the weather with chris fox. the eye we've only had we had the extreme rain in coverack yesterday. yet we have this line of storms that we r

when did the labour party ever introduce the national living wage? never.as a conservative government and a conservative record. i look along that front bench opposite, mr speaker, and i see a cabinet bickering and backbiting while the economy gets weaker and people are pushed further into debt. i'll tell the right honourable gentleman the reality. the reality is that he is always talking britain down and we are leading britain forward. the snp's leader at westminster turned to the pensions of the so—called waspy women. the prime minister has found up to £35 billion for hinkley point c nuclear power station, up to 200 billion to replace the trident missile system, and one billion for a deal with dup just so she can keep her own job. she seems to be able to shake the magic money tree when she wants to. can the prime minister now end the injustice for those women who are missing out on their pension before she herself thinks about retiring? we have put £1 billion extra into this question of the change of the state pension age to ensure that nobody sees their

we heard from the labour party, the strong suggestion it should be an appointed leader, a commissionerbe appointed. that has been rejected by councillors and pretty much rejected by sajid javid, as we heard in that report, the communities secretary. he did say he would be keeping a close eye on what is happening here. in some senses, as far as direct assistance to those affected by the disaster is concerned, it is something of an irrelevance, because a new organisation, gold command, which takes resources drawn from across london, is helping out those affected, but the symbolism is important. going forward, decisions made about what was —— what will happen to grenfell tower randy area in the surroundings, they will come back to kensington and chelsea town hall. we will wait to see who is elected next week by the conservative group that controls the council, what kind of effectiveness they have, and whatjudgment the government makes us to the future of this council. let's get the latest on the political reaction. let's talk now to our political correspondent, iain watson. the government

but what she is really trying to on theorce trouble labour party. policy is towards brexit. is it what jeremy corbyn thanks or what the party thinks? simon: she wouldn't have asked for help or advice had she won the election more convincingly. it is a slight indication of the weakness. but you are right. jeremy corbyn could come forward proposal, she is trying to make a point that the opposing party hasn't been entirely clear themselves. there are a lot of holes in what can achieve when negotiating with the eu. related to the vote later on this week in the repeal bill? so she connection make this work for her? if not, what happens next? simon: there is a number of amendments that can be added to that and that is what the labour party will be trying to do this week. adding amendments to limit the ability of the government to change some of the things in the legislation that it is shifting over from the eu. guy: one of the red lines that theresa may has made clear is that she will stand firm on the glaring standout amongst everything else -- if we star

when did the labour party ever introduce the national living wage? never.and a conservative record. what we want is a country where there are not 4 million children living in poverty, where homelessness is not rising every year and i look along that front bench opposite, mr speaker, and i see a cabinet bickering and backbiting while the economy gets weaker and people are put further into debt. isn't the truth that this divided government is unable to give this country the leadership it so desperately needs now to deal with these issues? i'll tell the right honourable gentleman the reality. the reality is that he is always talking britain down and we are leading britain forward. the snp‘s leader at westminster turned to the pensions of those waspi women. the prime minister has found up to £35 billion for hinkley point c nuclear power station, up to 200 billion to replace the trident missile system and 1 billion for a deal with the dup just so she can keep her own job. she seems to be able to shake the magic money tree when she wants to. can the prime ministe

the labour party are saying this is all part of the government's austerity agenda, pushing people tomake a difference to the government ‘s finances for 20 years. it is being realistic. when the idea of this legislation went through, the labour party didn't object to it in principle. of course it is populist to oppose increases in pension ages, but not increasing pension ages has a cost as well, a cost to tomorrow's workers, my children's generation, giving them bigger tax bills because i'm not prepared to work longer. raising it to 68, this could go on and on. the retirement age could be 70 or71. it and on. the retirement age could be 70 or 71. it could well be that for people in their 20s, but only if the experts think they will be living well into their 90s. if we have evidence that people are living well into their 90s, how can we begin paying pensions in the mid—60s. this will never be popular, but pension ages, with plenty of notice, do need to increase. thank you. the first of the bouncing bombs which have lain at the bottom of a remote scottish loch for more than 70 years has
