. - i would like to put a shout out for leicester east, _ the only labour gain, and the seed with theindu share in the country. the conservative second safest seat is harrow east. _ that is the third - highest hindu population in the country. and there's a clear. trigger there as well. a quieter trigger perhaps than gaza, which has- dominated the news headlines. it is not impossible i to imagine the hindu population of this country has - notice the considers have provided ithe first ever hindu prime ministerl and have responded quite positively. it has been drowned out by the huge wave against it, but it is— significant. we have the two largest religious minority communities in - the country behaving in different ways to i the way they have in the past. if we look at class and income . and wealth and so on, you have a huge cluster of the wealthiest seats on any of those metrics in the - country that have generally not done anything but vote conservative for. five generations and are all in lib dems hands. l the so—called gail seats. just expand on that theory, because that was in a co

, claudia webb's old seat , but leicester east, claudia webb's old seat, but equally leicester eastand then we've just heard that, birmingham yardley, which should be a shoo in for labour with jess phillips, is on a bit of a knife edge. >> yeah. and i mean jess phillips. shabana mahmood. i mean, these are two , the three mean, these are two, the three safest labour seats. so, you know, we've got to look at this. tonight is weird. i know it's the morning. i'm still going to call it a night. >> it's 545. >> it's 545. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> but some of us stay up late anyway, so it feels like. it feels like that, there's some there's subterranean shifts going on. meaning jeremy corbyn winning an islington is something. lee ashworth, there's reform and then there's this. the muslim vote can't is not secured for labour in the way that it was. it was a very, very secure voting base for labour. >> and yet they've they've beaten off the george galloway challenge , challenge, >> yeah. so it seems that i mean, if you can generalise for a moment, it looks like it's really significant in birmingh

leicester south, elected a pro gaza independent candidate while in leicester east, i believe a tory hindu i think that it's such a shame that a city like leicester, an english regional city, has essentially been reduced to being a muslim hindu battleground in the east midlands. it's quite a problem. >> and rakhee something that really took my breath away. i was, i was so i was just so flabbergasted by this. and that's batley, when we look to dewsbury and batley, the batley grammar school teacher three years on, raqib hassan is still in hiding. he still can't work , in hiding. he still can't work, still in fear of his life. a pro gaza independent candidate was elected. iqbal mohammed received more than 40% of the votes. on a pro gaza ticket in batley. i just found that absolutely astonishing. >> well, it's not necessarily because there will be a british muslim communities and british muslim communities and british muslim communities and british muslim communities there who traditionally voted the labour party, and they're they're disillusioned with the labour party's positioning on ongoing

sights and scenes, though, on that campaign trail, jonathan ashworth, who lost his seat in leicester south to east, majority overhauled. he was going to be surely one of the one of the cabinet in the labour government. he was harangued and harassed on the streets and jess phillips, a labour mp, when she was giving her declaration, she was giving her declaration, she was booed , harangued by a very, was booed, harangued by a very, very raucous mob inside that hall. there's been a lot of criticism , mohamed amin, that criticism, mohamed amin, that the modus operandi not just the result, is very, very concerning. >> it is very concerning . i >> it is very concerning. i condemn it unequivocally. behaviour like that has no place in british politics or british pubuc in british politics or british public life at all, and it is utterly deplorable, no doubt about that. emotions can run high, but you still have to behave in a civil manner. what you express your emotions by the cross you put on the ballot papeh >> yeah. and yet we've seen, you know , david amess obviously was know, david amess obviously was

middle east, who's critical ofjonathan ashworth, the shadow secretary for work and pensions, because he hadn't voted for a ceasefire. and there's a big minority vote, muslim minority vote, in leicester the price. you will see in the cabinet a lot of sympathy for him, because, in fact, rachel reeves and yvette cooper who have taken two of the great offices of state — they were clinging on in 2019 up there in leeds, and now they're in government. yvette cooper has been there, of course, before home secretary. she's been on the front benches in power and in opposition. she's putting forward, as home secretary, a plan to tackle the boats crossing the channel. there will be a new border force with powers under the anti—terrorism laws. she will certainly bejudged on that. david lammy, mpfor tottenham, campaigning mp. he will become the foreign secretary. got a lot of praise actually through the campaign, particularly on d—day. bad for rishi sunak, but very good for keir starmer. and it was david lammy who put him alongside some of the world leaders on that day, working some of his contacts. rachel reeves — she's waited for this job. she's been trying to convince people and business that t

leicester, wherejonathan ashworth, very prominent and important member of keir starmer�*s team, lost his seat to somebody campaigning, a pro—palestinian candidate. that was a complete shock. it almost happened to wes streeting in his eastency. it almost happened to jess phillips in birmingham. and these little pockets of insurgents — and they're sort of under the radar — but that's a very serious thing that smarter labour people will be thinking, "ok, that's something we've got to watch." you are taking us to labour. i've heard some themes that i hope we do discuss, especially as we've promised to discuss them. but given that you've mentioned labour, given that you've told us, and i know laura, you've got a scoop to tell us about what's going on in downing street, given that you, adam, have started by saying there's a cabinet meeting today, let'sjust reboot by hearing from the new prime minister. but whether you voted| labour or not — in fact, especially if you did not — i say to you directly, _ my government will serve you. politics can be a force for good. we will show that. we've changed the labour party, returned it- to service and that is how we will govern country first, party second. funny hearing that again. so
