laura kuenssberg is in downing street for us now. laura.a journalist because i'm really nosy and i love watching tv. so, do you think that you are going to be deputy prime minister by the end of the weekend? i thought westminster was for weirdos, and i wasn't entirely wrong. and then i got there and then i suppose i got the bug. hi, there, andrew. we're at the left bank centre here in hereford on an... every election that i have ever covered, which is quite a few, people have said, "oh, it's unbelievably stage—managed and controlled." keir starmer. applause "how appalling." yes, it seems true that keir starmer and rishi sunak did fewer on—the—street encounters. good morning, prime minister. but we haven't had a campaign for a long time in this country where politicians are just turning up randomly and standing on a soapbox — not least, actually, politicians in this era have got to think really carefully about their security. i'm alex forsyth. i've got two jobs at the bbc. day to day, i'm a political correspondent in westminster, and every f

also this morning on sunday with laura kuenssberg. she's sort of from the left of the party. is her view on it. well, if the labour party has a moral mission, it has to be to eradicate poverty, especially child poverty. there are families experiencing unnecessary hardship, rachel mentioned tough decisions. we can fund this if we look at different tax decisions where the wealthiest with the broadest shoulders pay for this, we can. we are the sixth largest economy in the world, yet one of the most unequal in the developed world. we can fund this commitment if we want to, and it's a matter of political will. we can uplift 300,000 kids instantly from poverty if we do this. so there you go. and that is a view that's replicated amongst many, many mps, some of them who have gone public. so for example, rosie duffield, an mp today writing in the sunday newspaper saying that she thinks it's some sort of social cleansing to have this cap in place. she wants to see it go, but it's a big decision. again, this for rachel reeves. she was asked about it this morning. she didn't say she woul

she was speaking on sunday with laura kuenssberg.are back again having that conversation about what democracy looks like, what our politics looks like. there is absolutely no place for violence in a decent, civilised democracy and society and those scenes are deeply shocking. i think it's also important to acknowledge i understand one person has lost their life, others have been injured. i'm very pleased that president trump is ok, but there have been other casualties. we've got to have that conversation about what a civilised democracy looks like. i've been having it sincejo was killed. i, sadly, feel that we are not making huge amounts of progress in this country and in other countries and we have to keep having that conversation. also on sunday with laura kuenssberg was the leader of the right—wing reform uk party, nigel farage. he is a friend and supporter of donald trump and gave us his reaction to the shooting. very upset. and i'm still upset. i'm obviously pleased that my friend donald's got away with it — onlyjust, but he's g

she spoke to laura kuenssberg on her sunday programme.which we condemn completely and fulsomely. thankfully, president trump was not injured more seriously, the consequences of that are unthinkable, but the thoughts of the whole british government, i'm sure the whole country of britain, are with the american people and president trump's family and those affected today. we don't know the motive of this one individual, we don't know about the absolute circumstances behind this attack, but as our panel was discussing, you do see a real polarisation in american politics. as a government, do you worry about that? well, we have seen a rise in polarisation, we have seen a rise in political intimidation, political hate. obviously, as you have already been discussing, we have seen the murder of two of my colleagues — my good friend jo cox, and david amess, a wonderful mp as well — so we have to take these issues incredibly seriously. we have seen necessary improvements to the security of mps and to those seeking office as elected candidates. thank

sunday with laura kuenssberg follows breakfast this morning.for public sector workers. that in and of itself is a big story. but there is so much for her to get on with at a very difficult job there. the former chancellor jeremy hunt, whojust job there. the former chancellor jeremy hunt, who just move out of number 11, jeremy hunt, who just move out of number11, is jeremy hunt, who just move out of number 11, is also jeremy hunt, who just move out of number11, is alsojoining jeremy hunt, who just move out of number 11, is alsojoining us jeremy hunt, who just move out of number 11, is also joining us this morning, for his first interview since the tories�* terrible defeat on july the fourth at the election. be interesting to see what he has to say about the future of the tory party — can they bring themselves back from defeat? all that and more stock we will see you at nine a.m.. we need to normalise it in crayfish this early in the morning! it we need to normalise it in crayfish this early in the morning!— this early in the morning! it feels a

rishi sunak told laura kuenssberg _ suella braverman. the end of the week once the votes have been tallied. but if you speak to conservatives, privately and increasingly publicly, they view what will play out as rather different. a clear example with this i have to say the extraordinary article from suella braverman, rishi sunak�*s former home secretary. she says it is over and we need to prepare for the reality and frustration of opposition. she said the conservative vote is evaporating from left and right from what she sees as failures on immigration and tax. she defends reform and says the way the conservatives have a tax reform uk is hypocritical which is striking, because it becomes after rishi sunak and borisjohnson united yesterday. borisjohnson in a surprise appearance attacking reform uk, saying nigel farage and his party were putinistas because of his view the west encouraged vladimir putin's invasion of ukraine. so there are clearly splits on the right of the conservative party. suella braverman said after the election there w

i followed laura kuenssberg's advice of no coffee overnight. d coffee, and thenjust keep going, really. laura likes a chocolate. she really does. and she was passing me chocolates and nuts through the evening. this is wall—to—wall political coverage. i this postcode is where power lies most of the time — not during an election campaign. westminster's the least important place to be. we were actually on the way to a different story when we got the phone call — rishi sunak�*s going to call an election. we had to rip up our plans. i was thinking, "this is not the time "to stumble over my words," and i kept practising the different varieties of what it might be in the shower. i was like, "and the exit poll predicts..." cheering pips on the radio bbc

ms reeves told sunday with laura kuenssberg, she would announce her decision on public pay by the endthis month. our political correspondent, leila nathoo, has the story. millions of public sector workers are waiting to learn what their pay rises will be this year. independent pay review bodies make recommendations to the government of what percentage should be awarded. it's understood that ministers have been advised to raise the salaries of teachers and nhs workers by 5.5%, a rate that is above current inflation. it's now up to the new chancellor, rachel reeves, to decide if this is affordable when money is tight. and this morning, a hint of her thinking. i really value public service workers in our schools, in our hospitals, in our police as well. at the moment, we are looking at those pay review body recommendations and doing the analysis, and we will work with public sector workers on that. but we also know that there is a cost to not settling a cost of further industrial action, a cost in terms of the challenge that we face in recruiting and retaining doctors and nurses and teac

today's episode is hosted by laura kuenssberg, paddy o'connell, and henry zeffman.

speaking on the laura kuenssberg show, he said the new labour government is discovering problems thatritance was going to be bad, and that was being flagged up through the election, but we've got into our offices now, we've seen what's really been going on, and it's catastrophic. it's worse? there were things that we could not have known during the election, because the conservatives had not only not only released the information, but in some cases, they'd deliberately covered it up. one of ireland's best—known writers, edna o'brien, has died at the age of 93. she made her name with a series of novels focusing on how young irish women were treated by their country. in a tribute, ireland's president, michael d higgins, said she was a fearless teller of truths, who'd had the moral courage to confront irish society with realities long ignored and suppressed. rugby league's kevin sinfield says he's committed to three more challenges to raise money for mnd charities in honour of his friend rob burrow, who died last month. the former leeds rhinos captain and now england coach was at the uni

ms reeves told sunday with laura kuenssberg, she would announce her decision on public pay by the endis month. bbc political correspondent tony bonsignore told me earlier — exactly what this pay rise could mean for public sector workers. inflation is at 2%. the recommendation from the pay review bodyis recommendation from the pay review body is for nhs chess workers and teachers is 5.5%. there's quite a wide range here. we are being to believe that it will be above inflation, but it is not clear whether they will accept the recommendation for 5.5%. if they do, they will be implications. that is a higher number than the treasury was expecting. they will have to find more money. you will have a knock on in packs on later spending, tax and borrowing decisions. rachel reeves did herfirst big interview with laura konigsberg today. did her first big interview with laura konigsberg today. there is a cost not settling. _ laura konigsberg today. there is a cost not settling. a _ laura konigsberg today. there is a cost not settling. a cost _ laura konigsberg today. there is a cost not settling.

he spoke to laura kuenssberg earlier, and told her why he thought the tories were defeated on thursdayso many brilliant, dedicated public servants, my former colleagues, who lost theirjobs and i feel desperately sorry for them. but my argument is that the reason that we lost the trust of millions of people across the country is not because we were too left—wing or right—wing, or had this slogan or that slogan, but fundamentally because we failed to deliver on the promises that we made to the british public. so you didn't do what you said you would do? in 2019 we promised we would get brexit done and that we would deliver a strong economy, a strong nhs, and secure borders. and although there are many things that i will fiercely defend about the record of our party in government, and we did get brexit done, we did not deliver the level of growth and taxation that conservatives expect. the quality of service in the nhs for the public. and, above all, the secure borders and controlled and reduced migration that we promised, and which we need to deliver. so you broke promises you made to th

the house of commons leader, lucy powell, spoke to the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg on her sunday programmensequences of that are unthinkable.

she's been speaking on sunday with laura kuenssberg. let's listen in.hancellor, have you got used to being called that? well, actually, keir starmer used the word, he said the other day, "and this afternoon, the chancellor...", and i thought, "0h, what's he done now?" and then...and then i remembered it was me. so i am getting used to it. but, yes, i do have to pinch myself occasionally. last time i was on this programme was eight weeks ago and it was the first weekend of the election campaign, and i think you said to me in that interview, "in a few weeks�* time, you might be chancellor", and that is exactly what i am. and i feel very proud and privileged to be in this position, especially as the first female chancellor of the exchequer that this country has ever had. you have very, very hard work ahead of you, however. you asked officials almost as soon as you arrived to give you sort of a warts—and—all verdict on the state of the public finances. what have you found out that you didn't know? well, i was clear during the election that the scale of the

its words, �*get britain working', the new business and trade secretary has been talking to laura kuenssbergobs. here's what he had to say. you see this as a major priority? i've already spoken to tata steel about it, as has the new prime minister, made time for that conversation. i'll be talking to them again today. i'll be asking representatives of the workforce, sharon and unite, but also community and gmb to talk to me next week about that. it's not about underwriting loss making businesses. in perhaps a way we might have thought of industrial policy in the past. it is about being a partner for investment in the future. there is more money available for the steel industry under our plans for government, but that's about making sure we meet this transition with the private sector together and recognise, i think sharon used the phrase, it is a good example of how we have to make sure that decarbonisation is not deindustrialisation, and we've got to do that together. but there is a better deal available for port talbot and the steel industry as a whole, i'm sure of that. jonathan reynolds,

now on bbc news, newscast with laura kuenssberg and paddy o'connell. newcast from the bbc. so, paddy, it's our last weekend for a bit. there will be newscasts after this weekend at the weekend, but we will not be together again until september. yes, it's very sad. well, it's well earned break for people who listen. we had to think about it. it's really for health and safety. it's like here it's like people who roadies who work on concerts, they have to be given time off. they can't just. well, that's true, but we do. actually, i won't be here next week. but you can share with people if you like an interview i've done today with kit harington and olivia washington. that's quite fun. kit harington, jon snow from game of thrones, and olivia washington, with whom he's starring in that controversial play, slave play. so i've been talking to them today, and you could have a listen to that next weekend. so i'll still be here hanging around to annoy you. but in the meantime, we've been having a think about what's changed in the big picture this year politically and what has changed

nigel farage was speaking earlier on the laura kuenssberg programme and he said he was upset by the attackarrative put out by liberals who oppose him almost encourages this type of behaviour. we have been speaking to people here, there is a lot of shock, disbelief and anger at what happened. he spoke to a hotel owner who said that people who had been staying there after the rally feel scared by what has happened. there were chaotic scenes here, the police and a conference earlier said officers acted heroically, but questions remain around the response to this. how did someone with an assault rifle climbed to a position on a roof less than 200 metres away from the former president? we heard from the former president? we heard from an eyewitness who said he could see somebody and told the police about it, so questions around the response and how well resourced security was at the rally. the speaker of the house has said the house will do a full investigation and this is a seismic moment, a historic moment, we haven't seen a political act of violence like this since ronald reagan was shot in

he spoke to laura kuenssberg this morning and told her why he though the tories were defeated on thursday32 and there are so many brilliant dedicated public servants, my former colleagues who lost their jobs, and ifeel my former colleagues who lost their jobs, and i feel desperately my former colleagues who lost their jobs, and ifeel desperately sorry for them. my argument is that the reason that we lost the trust of millions of people across the country is not because we were too left—wing or right—wing or had the slogan that slogan, but fundamentally, because we failed to deliver on the promises that we made to the british public. we are keeping an eye on the french election because president emmanuel macron is there to vote, you can see him in the shot, you can see his wife there too. that is why we are showing you those images from france. back to the uk election. the tailwinds were also in favour of the liberal democrats, who have celebrated winning more than seventy seats. here's what it's leader ed davy had to say about it. it was an amazing result for the lib dems. we got 72 seats

some of it a scoop from laura kuenssberg. so what is labour doing now?one of the things that's been part of their preparation. there have been at least a couple of tory ministers involved, which is interesting. 0r formerly tory ministers. they have also had an incredibly extensive period of preparation with each other under the leadership of sue gray, who becomes keir starmer�*s chief of staff, but also with whitehall. and i'm told that sue gray really has been speaking to senior "mandarins", as they're sometimes called, in whitehall — on an almost daily basis since january. since january? since january. but obviously this has accelerated over time. in the last few weeks, shadow ministers have been introduced and have been speaking to their permanent secretaries. those are the most senior civil servants in each department. and essentially what has happened is this work has built up and up and up and up and up and up. so, in whitehall, officials have been sitting notjust with the labour manifesto, but with their mission plans and their documents, and they

election nights are a big moment for a broadcaster, and so all eyes were on clive myrie and laura kuenssberg, the exit poll is predicting a labour landslide. as a dramatic night unfolded, there was a divided reaction from viewers, with james ball observing... but matthew ambrose was impressed with what he saw. thursday night's coverage was the culmination of an intense period for bbc news, with extensive reporting of the election campaign across television, radio, podcasts, and online. it was a campaign which threw up a number ofjournalistic issues and challenges, and some memorable moments. so, this is it — a general election is on. power will leave this most powerful of streets, and you'll be able to decide whether he stays or whether he goes. mr farage, are you standing? well, we'll find out- in a moment, won't we? why'd you change your mind? who knows, who says i have? penny mordaunt, can you respond to that — rishi sunak leaving the d—day commemorations before the end of the day? what happened was completely wrong. the £2,000 claim is misleading. labour say they won't increase income ta

earlier i spoke to laura kuenssberg in the bbc�*s election hub — she gave us a sneak preview of whatct tomorrow night. just huge and bewildering. it's amazing. and then at 10:00, the exit poll drops. and that's the exit poll that we've done in conjunction with our colleagues at sky and itv. and we've been in about 20,000 places. 20,000 people will have helped out during the day, telling pollsters how they voted. all of that gets put into a giant calculator with professor sir john curtice's giant brain. and then at 10:00, we are legally allowed to reveal the results of the exit poll. that in and of itself is a moment of history, because exit polls are rarely wrong, and especially if you think about the context of this election like it's a weird one. you know, i've not covered an election like this when everybody in the political parties is so sure of the eventual broad outcome, like no one's sure of the specific outcome. and when you talk to the parties privately, like they say, oh my god, there's this huge range of possibilities. but the broad outcome is really clear from all the pol

it was robert jenrick at the weekend on laura kuenssberg show, who said the biggest reason why peopleway from the conservatives at this election was because of immigration. and it was boris johnson and priti patel who saw immigration go up, whatever the good reasons were behind it. and you can say they're conservative or not. immigration went up under us and we said we bring it down. we didn't do that. >> no, i'm aware that immigration went up, but i think people were actually sympathetic to the people from hong kong and the people from ukraine. for the support people coming from ukraine was enormous. i think people got very fed up with the illegal boats coming and the failure to get those numbers down, and i think it was a mistake to hold the election before the rwanda scheme. i actually taken place because then it made it look as if we didn't have confidence in our own scheme. >> i agree, but i think the pivoting to illegal migration when legal migration was three quarters of a million is actually for me as a tory voter, not good enough. when i'm heanng not good enough. when i'm hea

was it laura kuenssberg? he couldn't come out with any commitment about defence spending.o sunak is saying they're going to cut defence spending and embolden our enemies. and labour haven't got a sort of robust rebuttal to that yet. right. interesting. so i'm surprised putin's not supporting the green party. moving on to the i newspoll, what have they got uk, uk heading for stagnation after election. >> labour and tories told dozens, dozens of economists, economic economists sorry warn that warn rishi sunak and keir starmer are full are failing to offer a serious plan to grow the uk economy. and i don't think anyone could disagree with this. i mean, we are in many ways heading into stagnation , but i heading into stagnation, but i have not seen from the tories or labour a single policy that would help me or anyone else understand how they're going to turn the corner , how they're turn the corner, how they're going to rebuild. in fact, within reforms contract. the only thing that i've seen that's economically sound politically is this, you know, no tax below 20 grand busine
