but the labour party was basically opposing and the 2024 intake of labour mps, which is massive, in they opposition to austerity and opposition to conservative welfare cuts. complicated for rachel reeves. niche newscast. she's been around this track before. afterwards that made her toxic with labour party activists. party. quote—unquote perverse incentives are, but also finances are and thefact 7 ,... 7, 7 ., what's the timeline? yeah. to the bean counters, to the city and to the country on public spending. because it's time to talk about brexit. laughter. yes, he's invited, ithink, to to attend a meeting of those people in the european union. we've never spent any time in the last 50 years in this that the united kingdom has been locked into a tribal argument about brexit. because again, we'll see a british prime minister, to be sort of screaming like a banshee. "and are you going to give britain anything? " blah, blah blah. but they don't actually want anybody to think there in brussels, walking the kind ofjournalistic and laura, you know, you were often packed in that member of the e

very difficult for two quick reasons politically, because there will be some in the parliamentary labour party in the grassroots party who will be very, very worried about this. it's also difficult from a policy point of view, because you want to encourage people back into work, but you don't want to force people into work who can't work. you don't want people ending up on the streets. >> and alice, in my experience and i do have some experience with this, i used to be a social security minister. some of the problems are practical. so for instance, a doctor does not particularly want to refuse his or her patient a sick note. if that patient comes to that person, they have to maintain a relationship. so then you try establishing panels of doctors, but that becomes very bureaucratic. and anyway, where do you find all these doctors from who are going to be on the panels? do you do you think rachel reeves has any prospect of success here? >> i think it's a difficult one, but there are 4 million people currently on sickness benefits. that's up from 1 million since 2019 to the tune of about 48 billi

tonight my panel rupert lowe the mp for reform uk, and barry gardiner, the mp for the labour party. but before we get stuck in, let's cross live to your 6:00 news headlines. >> very good evening to you. our top stories. a 15 year old boy has died after a stabbing at a school in sheffield. the victim was airlifted to hospital after the incident at all saints catholic high school just after midday, but died of his injuries. south yorkshire police have confirmed that a 15 year old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder, and he remains in custody. the prime minister says the uk won't pick between the us and the eu, and says he wants to maintain good ties with both. sir keir starmer has been speaking alongside mark rutte, the head of nato, following talks in brussels. defence spending high on the agenda. but also he faced questions about the threat of tariffs from donald trump. the joint news conference came after starmer joined joint news conference came after starmerjoined an informal eu leaders summit. he's the first british prime minister to do so since brexit. >> the relations

are consistently three points ahead of the conservative party and just a point or two behind the labour partyand we are achieving something. we are achieving something. we are achieving something that is quite remarkable. and we've been riding a bit of a wave. and you know what? if we keep riding that wave a bit more, we really will surprise everybody come that next general election when we win it. >> wow. is nigel farage sending the conservative party into a full blown meltdown? reform uk, with just five mps, held a massive rally today in kemi badenoch own constituency, north west essex. and they're not just talking about overthrowing the tories, they're coming for badenoch seat. that's right. reform is targeting the heart on the head even of the tory party, andifs the head even of the tory party, and it's no surprise they're surging in the po

. >> already voted i think three times as a party for a second referendum with a three line whip behind it. and so i can tell you today, an incoming labourovernment will legislate for a referendum immediately on taking power and hold that referendum within six months. labour must support all options remaining on the table, including campaigning for a pubuc including campaigning for a public vote. that was our commitment. we would call for a general election if the deal didn't get through, but that if that didn't happen, the option of a public vote ought to be available. >> yeah. so they've got him over a barrel, haven't they? the eu leaders even invited starmer to a leader's summit in the same building where ted heath signed away our sovereignty in 1972. they are taking the absolute mickey. but that's the difference, isn't it, between keir starmer and donald trump. starmer is a beta male and trump's an alpha. half the time. keir starmer doesn't even know what a male is. >> it's weird. you know. sorry. no no no. it'sjust >> it's weird. you know. sorry. no no no. it's just no no no i just a. >> woman can have a penis. >> woman can have a p
