i told you, i don't think currently the labour party is a social democratic party.ver in the national health service. i believe that the creation of that in 19118 was a great thing. he rejoiced in the fact that he didn't have to ask his patients to pay. so, on social policy, i've always been on the left. but i was, when i was leader of the sdp, and even before — i believe that we did have to change trade union laws. i believe that we did have to change the economy. and above all, i wanted strong defence. all of those were challenged by michael foot in 1981 to 1983. and it took ‘81 — from the time we left till 1997 before labour won. corbyn is getting closer to it, and as i said to you, he's attracted young people. he's got an increased membership. you can't take this away from him. if you had your time over again, would you now think differently about leaving the labour party? would you have stayed in? well, you've studied these things. you know perfectly well i was totally opposed to the new sdp linking up with the liberal party within weeks and months ofjoining. i

i gave money to the labour party at the last election. i ama labour party at the last election.rter but not a member. i am nota member am a supporter but not a member. i am not a member because i don't agree with quite a lot of its economic policy. but i do think that they have shown greater strength. i personally think labour is more right than not on the health service, and i think this government is literally destroyed the health service in england. fortunately, not yet in scotland, wales or in northern ireland. so i am still a social democrat. i have never made any secret of this. i have never been a tory, and i will never be a tory. but on this issue at the moment, let me focus. i do believe theissue moment, let me focus. i do believe the issue for this country over 2018, and i agree with you, this is the moment where the toughest decisions are going to be taken over brexit, that we should rally as a country, we should spend our time on getting the best deal that, that party politics should slip away into its normal place, and not elevate. there will be time of an election,

what do we see from the labour party, we turned around from the recession of the labour party. what do we know about the labour party, economic policies? we were told all about them from the description from the department of education secretary, on the front bench today. i do apologize. i didn't realize, with herself under medical treatment. she did describe the economic policies of the labour party in an parliamentary terms. it should include the word bust, but she did say the labour party's economic policy was high risk. that means high risk for taxpayers, high risk for jobs and high risk for our nhs and that is the risk we will never let them take. >> a positive note on the nhs my nhs has turned around from being one of the worst in the country, safe to say that five years ago, one of the best because of injections of huge amounts of cash but they were amazing, and jackie daniels, gently invite the honorable gentlemen to be sensitive to time. we don't want a long spiel but a question with a question mark at the end of it. >> jackie daniels received a day in court, very posi

the way the right honorable gentleman talks, you would think that the labour party had all of the solutions for the health service. if thelabour party -- labour party had gotten all the answers, why do we see funding being cut and targets not being met in wales, where the labour party is responsible? speaker, the prime minister leads a government that is responsible for the funding of natural government -- of national government, such as in wales. she knows all well what is going on in wales. but she has, mr. speaker, directly responsible -- she is directly responsible for the nhs in england. given the health secretary a new job title will not hide the fact dollars haveion been cut. ist of the problem with nhs that funds have been increasingly siphoned off into private companies, including in the health secretary's area of surrey. >> calm yourself, man. you are supposed to be auditioning to become an elder statesman. there are many more auditions to go. calm yourself. jeremy corbyn. has beenore money siphoned out of our budgets into private health companies. even in the health secretaries a

a labour party that will always put politics before people! also on this programme: the bill putting eu law into uk law ahead of brexit clears the commons — for now! and the justice secretary says he won't seek a judicial review of the parole board decision to release serial sex attacker john worboys from prison. i know this will disappoint the victims in this case and members of this house. given the crimes for which he has been convicted, on a personal level, i share those concerns. but first to the story that dominated the westminster week — the collapse of construction giant carillion. carillion has around a50 public sector contracts, from nhs cleaning to school dinners and prisons to homes for service families. it's also involved in the hs2 high—speed rail line and maintenance for network rail. after statements and questions earlier in the week, jeremy corbyn used prime minister's questions to accuse the government of negligence for continuing to award contracts to the firm after it issued profit warnings last year. mr corbyn thought mini

bigger picture is showing that after eight years in government, we are still neck—and—neck with the labour party them in places like bolton in local government elections last week. that's what the various strands of the conservative party think and we've also been hearing about labour from jeremy corbyn on what labour think about brexit. what was interesting, we see the divisions within the conservative party. there are potentially divisions also within the labour party. a lot of labour members want to have a clearer direction from jeremy corbyn on what happens after brexit. today, we had some of that from jeremy corbyn in particular on the issue of the customs union. he was basically saying that after brexit he would wa nt saying that after brexit he would want there to be a kind of customs union, not the one that exists now. he talked about not wanting to go down the norway route and replicate that model but certainly do have some kind of customs union and maintain that close trading relationship. 0n the issue of free movement, while he said that there would be no free movement, he talks about

francine: you think the brexit will split the conservative party or the labour party? is splitting the conservative party. you have got to remember that during 2015 we had a general election in the u.k.. david cameron won that. europe was merely an issue. this is a long-standing disagreement. francine: but it is unclear where labor stands on this, whether they would be pro-europe or not. >> i think the labour party is pro-europe. francine: jeremy corbyn pro-europe? >> he says he is. that itur party feels has got to say, we are still in favor of brexit. but i think once you see how the labour party is moving, it is moving very much towards, let's keep the single market position. it nuances that in what it says. but i think in the end, there is a majority within the labour party for equipping a close relationship with europe and i think the moment you get to that position, it is a very short distance to the next position which is to say, let's not forget our seat at the decision-making table, but still be the passive recipient of european rules because then you have neith

there are potentially divisions also within the labour party. a lot of labour members want to have a clearer direction from jeremy corbyn on what happens after brexit. today, we had some of that from jeremy corbyn in particular on the issue of the customs union. he was basically saying that after brexit he would wa nt saying that after brexit he would want there to be a kind of customs union, not the one that exists now. he talked about not wanting to go down the norway route and replicate that model but certainly do have some kind of customs union and maintain that close trading relationship. 0n the issue of free movement, while he said that there would be no free movement, he talks about easy movement, making sure that when we need nurses from the eu and what have you, they would be able to come over. a bit more detail from him, this is what he said. we would want a form of customs union. obviously, whether it would be the customs union, the answer is no, because it would require being a member of the eu, which we're not.

left of centre parties tend to be less well served financially. now, labour, now we see that the conservatives are more a wealthy party. it is a balancing act. you have got to give the members something back. but sometimes as we've seen democratic participation can be unpredictable. what do you think of momentum? do you think of momentum as a great democratic force? you obviously don't adegree with them. —— agree. do you see it as a good thing? to engage people, yes. it is a good thing for every political party to be able to engage with the general public. but what momentum has become, do i agree with it? no. what has it become? online, it has become a platform for people to abuse. there is no such thing as momentum, as, we're a disparate group. we a re leaderless. there is no one to answer to, so there's no control. what i want to ask is, would you consider it democratic in 2016 if tory members had picked andrea leadsom as leader. does that feel to you democratic? well, we have to look at the whole system. a lot of it isn't democratic. but you're happy with

every labour party have got all the a nswe rs every labour party have got all the a nswers why everysible for the funding of national governments such as an wales. she knows full well what has been cut from wales. she is directly responsible for the nhs wales. she is directly responsible forthe nhs in wales. she is directly responsible for the nhs in england and giving the health secretary a newjob title will not hide the fact that 6 billion has been cut from social ca re billion has been cut from social care and the tories. part of the problem of the nhs is that it is funds are being siphoned off into private companies including any health secretary australia area of study... order. can calm yourself. it'll be good for your health. even more money is being siphoned out of our nhs budgets into private health companies even in the health secretary australia area of study and forced to pay but the premise minister assure patients that this year less nhs money intended for patient care will be feathering in the nests of shareholders and private companies? 0n wales, this government has g

the labour party will benefit, though, when few?l statistic that affects me is that younger people tend not to vote at all. that is a more profound thing. there are right—wing governments right across the world, from trump to downing street, trying to take people off the electoral register and prevent people from voting. what the welsh government is seeking to do is to encourage people to vote. in total, we wa nt encourage people to vote. in total, we want to put another 70,000 people on the electoral register across wales because we believe that they participate in democracy, where more people vote, is a stronger democracy. we spoke to the head of politics at liverpool university earlier today, talking about why this could and couldn't work. one of the things that was brought up was the things that was brought up was the fact that this is being introduced for local elections now, and traditionally they have been seen and traditionally they have been seen as and traditionally they have been seen as quite boring in terms of electione

its back on investment on jobs, labour party always puts politics before people. >> absolutely. mister speaker, can i think prime minister? provided by the complacent counsel, people should not have to settle for second best. would you agree with me, london's potential by the opportunity for voting conservative. >> i was happy to join my honorable friend and hear from people about the issues of liberal democrat services particularly around the rubbish bins in her household. they are trying -- a democrat member of parliament, he is absolutely right, the evidence is that conservatives deliver better services. what we are talking about, only lasts week the fire minister announced labor policy on every typical home by 320 pounds. people should know that a vote for labor is a vote to pay more. >> thank you, mister speaker. can the prime minister tell the house what advice she had on the impact of the uk economy for leaving the eu single market and when she requested any such advice? >> i have to say to the honorable gentlemen as we go through brexit negotiations we are looking at the

that you are a labour party that has to move to the middle and engage the united kingdom public. iquidation to be a catalyst to party?broader labour >> our position on this is right in the center of political attitudes in the united kingdom. the truth is that most people are mortified when they discover that prisons are being run really for profit in quite difficult way when it's being paid for by the taxpayer and so many pounds of our money has been put in jeopardy. we think that is right in the center of where the public are. when they hear of thousands of jobs being put at risk and services to our children and people who are ill they will be horrified. we think the labour party is right in the center. all is thehing of incompetent way the government has handed over contracts to a company which was quite transparently in deep trouble. in 2015 nearly three years ago the stock market was shortselling shares in carillion and it has been evident for some time this was a problem. it looks like it was an ideological drive to privatize everything that they could. we can't confirm it at

have you got as many members as the labour party? speaktempting as the labour party?t going to play a numbers game. they are absolutely taking you to the cleaners online, as you have more 01’ taking you to the cleaners online, as you have more or less admitted, and they have lots and lots of people they can mobilise up and down the country to hit constituencies but lots of actual bodies knocking on doors and handing out leaflets. the conservative party has nothing like that number of people. we have a huge number of great people delivering leaflets, knocking on doors and they thought the last test, which was injured last year we did not win the seeds we would like but did get over1 million more votes than we had before, 42.4%, the biggest share we have had in decades. i want to make sure we are building on that and, as you say, building on that and, as you say, building in ouronline building on that and, as you say, building in our online presence as well but doing it in a respectful way. john ashmore is the news editor of politics home and hejoins me now. what sort o

so, jeremy corbyn, when he became leader of the labour party, he talked about a new kind are gentler en from his party and momentum has been the opposite, there is a real problem with politics at the moment. very aggressive. social media is fuelling that in particular. needs to be dealt with and nipped in the bud before it gets completely out of hand. thank you very much for your time. and we'll find out how this story, and many others, are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers, our guests joining me tonight are martin bentham, home affairs editor at the london evening standard, and owen bennett, deputy political editor of huffpost uk. and we hope to be discussing that online pledge later on this at the even in. —— even in. —— evening. humberside police are looking for a man they want to question, in connection with a murder thought to have been committed with a crossbow. shane gilmer, who was 30, died in hospital after the attack, at his home in the village of southburn on friday. his pregnant girlfriend was seriously injured. 0ur correspon

that's the labour party. that's the labour party, exactly.arguably, the woman's vote has led to a stronger public realm, with better health care and better education, but what is the burning issue for women today? what is your daughter's name? delilah. if you could vote for one thing that would make delilah's life better growing up, what would you vote for? can i give you a ballot paper? i'd make catcalls a crime. 0k. cheaper sanitary products. get rid of social media. while some women's issues have changed over the last 100 years, some have resolutely remained the same. what would you vote for? equal pay. equal opportunities in the workplace. good luck, delilah. # you don't own me...# do you worry about the world in which you are sending your 22—year—old daughter out in? when i think of women's rights, i feel slightly schizophrenic about it. you know, on the one hand, young girls today have so many opportunities. you see them bubbling with potential, with a sense of self, knowing that they can do whatever they want to. # don't tell me what t

the labour party are going to make hay with this.yn is already saying watershed moment, should end rip—off privatisation. pfi, where do you put, should you be using public money to pay private companies? yeah, as you said a lot of these contracts date back to the new labourera. it was contracts date back to the new labour era. it was a gordon brown specialty to take this stuff off the government balance sheet, give it to a private company, sign a ten, 20—year deal to look after a hospital, provide cleaners or big infrastructure. but the great thing forjeremy corbyn is it's seen as so different so this he can get away with criticising something which was essentially a flagship policy of the la st essentially a flagship policy of the last labour government because for most voters they view him as a different beast. if it was any other leader, ed miliband, he would be... wouldn't be able to go in hard on this. forjeremy corbyn he can go, look, big primary colours, big sweeping statement, privatisation is bad, this is what it looks like,

the labour party is one of those parties.e don't have republican and democrat, two sides like this. the vast majority of our parties are mostly centrist falling slightly left or right. the labour party would be more tying itself into the working man and woman. host: this is back in november of 2016 where he makes a speech saying some very strong things on the senate floor. i want you to put this in context. the best thing that could -- good people in ireland could do is to ask them if it is ok to still bring the shamrock on st. patrick's day. reactionrrassed by the of the re--- of irish government to what has happened in america. ask the minister for foreign affairs into this house, and ask him how we are supposed to deal with this monster who has just been elected president of america. i don't think any of us in years to come should look back at this. and not say that we did everything in our power to call it for what it is. host: how does that reflect what you know of the irish people to think? guest: i haven't lived in ire

will stop three of his supporters are on that committee and it's a historic day for the labour partye majority on the body. interesting story in the times tomorrow seeing the so—called centrist labour mps, if you can go ahead and deselect some of these mps then they would resign the labour whip and set as their own bloc in parliament but we will see. they have made these threats in the past, they are not in the ascendancy in the labour party so we will see how it goes. thank you. that's it for today, which is of course blue monday, the saddest day of the year. the mathematics behind the concept was created in 2005 by a psychologist called cliff arnall, after a travel company commissioned him to prove that everyone should cheer up by booking their summer holidays round about now. cliff proved it all a bit too convincingly, and a pseudo science legend was born. we got in touch with him today to see what he now thought about his discovery and he told us — quote — "don't believe a word of it." but of course we do. and so we leave you with this — cliff arnall‘s immortal blue monday proof

and we lose canterbury to the labour party. so let me sum it up.one who tells you, in my opinion, if anybody tells you that they know what is going to happen to british politics over the next 12 months is deceiving themselves. it is impossible to predict. would you like to see another uk—wide vote, either on leaving the eu or, indeed, on the deal when it is done? i hope i never lived to see another referendum held on any subject that people think should be given any constitutional force. it is an absurd way of running a modern and complicated country. particularly so when you have a big broad brush yes/no question. should we leave, should we stay? within that are hundreds of complex subquestions of things that will be affected. a stupid three or four week campaign... you hate referendums so much that you think it was a mistake to have had one. having had that one and acting on it you would not say it should go back to the country to either sign off on the deal or to have a second vote on the question? if the remainers were to win next time, presuma

if you had this, all of these mps would just leave the labour party. bly form another new party. this is a risky strategy for jeremy corbyn. i don't think they would do this. they wouldn't have a shock and awe deselection. a couple of people do it carefully and below the radar. doing this is asking for civil war on the left which will hurt them at the ballot box.“ civil war on the left which will hurt them at the ballot box. if you read until the end of this story it says that and said they were not campaigning for this. even so, there isa campaigning for this. even so, there is a lot of movement. —— momentum said they were not campaigning for this. since jeremy corbyn did so well in the snap election i think that tension has been escalating. the sentiment has been modern mps need to get on board otherwise they could potentially be facing conflict. sebastian is right, if you did one big exodus that would just be setting up another new party and spit your vote. the most important thing to take home about this is if momentum are trying to bring in more ra

this is a labour party that has turned its back on investment, on growth, onjobs.e. a little taster of pmqs. i'm joined by conservative mp vicky ford, the snp's by conservative mp vicky ford, the snp‘s tommy sheppard and labour's stella creasy. stella creasy first, is this a moment where the debate changes and the dial shifts in terms of weather services should be contracted out to the private sector? i certainly hope so. i was extremely worried to hear the prime minister talk about how we are just customers of carillion. we're not just customers, we are borrowing with carillion. i would like a prime minister who understood the kind of deals we have got into over the last 30 years and over the last seven years especially, a 135% increase in outsourcing. carillion gets a lot of business from the public sector and bankrolls its business on the notion that the public sector will always a step in, as it will have to do in this case to ensure hospitals, schools and motorways keep going. would you buy jeremy schools and motorways keep going. would you buyjeremy corbyn's

have you got as many members as the labour party? i'm not going to play a numbers game.are absolutely taking you to the cleaners online, as you have more or less admitted and that they have lots of people they can mobilise up and down the country to cheat constituencies with actual bodies knocking on doors and handing out leaflets. the conservative party has nothing like that number of people. we have a huge number of great people delivering leaflets every day and knocking on doors. in june last year was the test, we did not win the seats we wanted but we got overi million votes that we wanted. biggest vote share in decades, and i want to make sure we're building on that and as you say quite rightly, building our online presence as well but doing it in a respectful way. brandon lewis talking about the challenges of increasing membership. the numbers issue incidentally has been a lifeline recently because they have not published the figures publicly for many years, and there are calls for them to be more transparent. labour is claiming around half a million and fears arou

when we have a conservative party that isn't united, that doesn't have a vision for brexit... and labouroffer something different. what is easy movement because no one can define it, what does easy movement mean? is brexit holding the party together? no. to be fair, though, i don't think there is one that holds the labour party together, either. that's the problem. there are three groups of people, one, the diehards, passionate about brexit, the devastated pessimists, they have their heads on their desks and are beside themselves with sorrow. about one third each, there is a third in the middle who are swing voters. they are a bit more relaxed either way. it's very hard to envisage any kind of solution. ican. i think there is a brexit that can more or less look inside the conservative party. iain, this issue may never explode. the brexit that will satisfy the conservative party is that we formally leave the european union but to all intents and purposes stay within the european union. that won't satisfy everybody! that might satisfy you but not me. 0r many others. that's the problem. we

the sunday times, a continuing story of the labour party, really, and what they see as the drift to the? funny old story this one. first few paragraphs are exactly that. about what is going on it in westminster 's, rumours and it has been claimed that with momentum winning seats in the nec, they will use winning seats in the nec, they will use that to put pressure on mps they think are not quite on board with the left—wing agenda. then there is a sort of gear changing to the story of haringey, this north london borough where it looks like the candidate will probably win control in may. it is a really interesting story because it might turn out to be like in the 80s, one of these nutty councils that does all these properly left—wing things. but it might not, it might work out well. it was keeping an eye on. for example, worried about putting it as a splash of labour because it looks london centric. do you think labour is lifting to the left, lainy, or momentum driving out moderates?” thought labour was on the left rather than drifting into the left. drifting to the hard left.” rather tha

party. yes, interesting. what it says is that they have been told not to rock the boat. it is the labourcipline in its party which is what all political leaders want? certainly. if you look back to the previous campaign, many people within the labour party did not thinkjeremy corbyn would get any traction. they thought it would be utter defeat. they were defeated, it is important to remember, despite the rhetoric we have heard, but they did much better than anticipated and 110w did much better than anticipated and now they are in a position to say to moderate mps that they have traction, time to get on—board. if they were to get some radical mps in we would have a radical manifesto. the sunday express now. their story, they tend to stick to the weather and royal family that this is a straightforward political story. the headline rather peculiar, brexit enforces. explained this to us. over 100 mp5 enforces. explained this to us. over 100 mps who are going to demand that theresa may take britain out of the single market when the uk leaves in 2019. jacob rees mogg says he will make her stic

prime minister starting with a show of strength in the new year, butjeremy corbyn, the head of the labour partyng it was actually a disaster. it is a disaster for theresa may. it is getting worse and worse for her. obviously, losing the majority is the start. but some of the easiest ways to show power is to reshuffle your cabinet... not necessarily easy, because sometimes they do not play ball, and they did not this time. that is the key point. most prime minister's reshuffle several times and it is fine. this one has gone badly. it adds to the narrative she is a very wea k adds to the narrative she is a very weak prime minister. some would argue that, others, maybe not. walking out, justine greening, is a big blow. she wanted more women on the cabinet. she is increasing the number of the mouse in the cabinet and the lower position. —— females. it is interesting she walked away. she was not going to take it. yeah, imean, she was not going to take it. yeah, i mean, there are two elements to it. she did a lot of work trying to get more women into the cabinet. she did a lot on mobility. justine gr

julia: in the economic section, the u k's opposition party, the labour party, has been socked out bygers, ceos and bankers over the past six months. the prospect of labor winning power is starting to overshadow brexit as the biggest wildcard for investors. julia: here is christina with more. mcdonnell is not your typical politician. he has been a veteran of labor and is a man who has waived the red book in debate in parliament and lists one of his interests as fermenting the overthrow of capitalism. >> that will sit well with everybody. talk about that, because business people, investors are more concerned about labor winning in the next election than they are about brexit. cristina: the parties performance in the snap election was a wake-up call to britain. carol: 40% of the vote. cristina: that's right, a high water mark that goes up to the 2000's. is theythe expectation have a good shot of winning the next election, whenever that happens. one is not scheduled for years, but government is very troubled -- may's government is very troubled so it could come sooner. feel is a moment,

plus the labour party has a charismatic leader who young people believe in, whether people think thatd, that is the cell. that is the cell. if you have an offer you can sell the offer. they do not have one. they can use all the hash tags they want. i do not believe that being a certain age means that you can not handle social media. that is where brendan lewis... if he thinks it is a measure of mechanics, let's get somebody in here who can do this, thatis somebody in here who can do this, that is not eat. it is what they are offering. you need to offer a message and the hash tag and they link and they do it themselves. we have a few more stories. carillion on the front page of the sunday telegraph a word on that quickly. this is a headache for the government. such an extraordinary... this is a company that barely anyone has heard of but it is a massive concern with 50,000 employees worldwide and a huge number of contract including the hs two. resins, building, the maintenance of operating theatres in hospitals. the banks that have lent money to this company banks that have lent money
