so what the liberal democrats have done is be honest and direct., you will have to pay for it. so we have offered the british people, we will give us, our country, you and your family, the best nhs and care system in the world and it will cost a penny on income tax and it will raise £30 billion over five years. even if it means raising the taxes of those whose living standards you have said are already in decline. so it's the price of a cup of coffee a week for most people. and if you look at it in a bit more detail and i think having the best nhs and care system in the world is worth the price of a cup of coffee a week. if you look at it in more detail, the resolution foundation shows that 95% of the costs will be paid by the 50% highest earners in our country. but i believe in the welfare state. we are all, to coin a phrase, in it together. we all contribute to it, we all gain from it. even those people whose living standards are falling? as i say, the average amount we will be paying per week is the price of a cup of coffee. let me move on. if y

here in cornwall, every seat was held by liberal democrat mp just seven held by liberal democrat mp justth cornwall, one of the last to be engulfed by the tory tide in 2015. now the lib dems want it back. not for the first time they are trying to fight a very local campaign. for the first time they are trying to fight a very local campaignlj have to fight a very local campaign.” have not had one person mentioned brexit toonie. more a case of everything else escalating. back in south devon, mike's mum says school funding could sway her vote. for me the most important is are education and health. definitely that will be focusing my mind, when i go to vote on the 8th ofjune. lib dem tim farren was the only leader to reply to mike's letter. but mike cannot vote, and the lib dems will need at least 10,000 more supporters to win the seat back. the outcome will be decided in key marginal seats around the united kingdom. jeremy vine as ever is in oui’ kingdom. jeremy vine as ever is in our election studio considering the scale of the electoral challenge facing each of the main political parties.

the liberal democrats took an absolute morning in 2015.be judged on how many seats he can gain, but one thing was really striking in that speech that he gave. not so much what he said, which was about cuts to public services and social care and the plan to add 1p to income tax to reinstate those services, but what he didn't talk about was brexit. the liberal democrats wanted to carve out their place as the party of the a0%, the remains voters, in a city out their place as the party of the 48%, the remains voters, in a city like this where the majority wanted britain to remain in the eu. he's not talking about that spontaneously on the stump here because he believes that it's not catching the imagination of voters. they believe brexit might become an issue for them further down the line. right now it is not something that will get voters into the polling booths for them, so they are talking about public services. in scotland the snp leader nicola sturgeon urged voters to show their support for a fair and prosperous society in scotland, and

liberal democrats on 11. so, let us nowjust after 4.00 in the morning, have the news. hello. with more than 500 seats declared in the general election, labour has done far better than many had expected but the outcome appears uncertain. the conservatives are on course to be the biggest party — but without an overall majority. jeremy corbyn called on theresa may to resign as prime minister. but mrs may — re—elected in maidenhead — said the country needed a period of stability and the conservative party would ensure that. tom bateman has the latest. she called the election early, a political gamble, a hope she would transform the tories fragile add vanening in parliament with a huge win but the smiles have vanished. forecasts suggest the conservatives may end up worse off without even a majority. if as the indications have shown, if this is correct, that the conservative party has won the most seats and probably the most votes, then, it will be incumbent on us to ensure we have that period of stability, that is

the liberal democrats lost their only welsh mp. tories saw their hopes to make gains in pro—brexit areas dashed. our correspondent sian lloyd now reports on the picture in wales. in gower this morning, the smiles of welsh labour said it all. the party's leader introducing two of their three new mps here. this seat was one they had been desperate to win back from the conservatives. we were told a few weeks ago that we would struggle in wales, that we would lose seats. he was the man who had led a very separate labour campaign in wales, but today carwyn jones was happy to acknowledge thejeremy corbyn factor in their successes here. we ran a welsh labour campaign in wales in tandem with the campaign across the rest of the uk. we listened, we worked hard, we produced a manifesto that people liked, and of course we saw us gaining seats in wales. labour not only made gains here but increased the size of their majority in many welsh seats. it appears they took votes from ukip that the conservatives had been banking on, and other parties w

the liberal democrats talked about this issue, this is a big one on the doorstep, mental health. the greens, again, rolling back the use of private providers in the nhs. we were told this was a brexit election, so let's take a quick look at brexit. conservatives say they will leave the single market and the customs union, seeking this deep and special relationship with the eu. but they've made it quite clear that no deal is better than a bad dealfor the uk. labour, that won't do for them, they would scrap the brexit white paper and put the emphasis on the single market and the customs union, and remaining within it. and also, they want to immediately guarantee the rights of eu citizens living in britain. the liberal democrats, pro—remain, of course, would hold a referendum on the final brexit deal, with that option in there to remain in the eu. and ukip, they would quit thejurisdiction of the european court ofjustice, as well as the eu single market and the customs union. i can't go through all the policies and where the various party stand, but it is all there on the bbc website

the remains voted go to the liberal democrats, that was a show of force.otes, 75% voting remain, went to labour. was that on the cards? where you seeing that potentially in the run—up to this election? i think that is simply a demonstration of tactical demonstrations. who is the best recipient of our pro—remain sentiment. battersea, they knew it would be a real challenge. she slipped under the radar, it has to be said. here she was as a tory mp ina be said. here she was as a tory mp in a seat with the highest remain vote. 78, 70 6% in the referendum, she knew it was going to be trouble. for the reasons you give, she like other conservatives were telling us and they were telling people on the doorstep and hearing people back on the doorstep that we need to move on. that was a decision that has been made. let's focus on the negotiations and the deal we need to strike in the future. it is clear that londoners have said in huge numbers, no! you don't get away with that that easily. it is not that that that easily. it is not that that has happened injust that t

we understand it won't be any sort of formal coalition as we saw when the conservatives and liberal democratseron and nick clegg, of course. but it would be possibly a issue by issue arrangement with the conservatives seeking the support of the democratic unionist party issue by issue. in terms of what the dup would be the king in return for that support, certainly one thing they would be looking for would—be increased investment into northern ireland. they would also be, of course, making their voice very clear in terms of brexit negotiations. they do not want a ha rd negotiations. they do not want a hard border. they have used the term frictionless borderjust like theresa may has done, but they are not keen on a customs union. we do not keen on a customs union. we do not know exactly what any alternative arrangement they would wa nt to alternative arrangement they would want to the customs union would look like, so there would be a lot of detail to be worked out on brexit and, of course, theresa may would have the balancing act of keeping the dup happy while keeping the members of her party

labour has 262, the snp 35, the liberal democrats 12, the democratic unionist party ten, and plaid cymrur. the conservatives lost 13 seats overall. they'd been expecting big gains. labour added 30, while the snp lost 21. so theresa may is still prime minister, but there are questions about the viability of this new administration. in this extended programme, we'll have the results, reaction and analysis, and we'll consider the implications both for brexit and for scottish independence. first our political editor laura kuenssberg reports on a night and day of intense political drama. is this strong and stable, prime minister? she who dares doesn't always win. the most votes, the most seats, but under this stinging glare, no iron gates nor police protection can shield theresa may from the accusation she looks a political loser. the trappings of power, the visit to the palace, help from northern irish mps mean she can gather enough support to stay on. but having believed herself to be on the brink of a sizeable majority, going backwards seems like defeat. i have just been to see her majesty

first, tim farron has resigned as leader of the liberal democrats. mr farron took over as leader from nick clegg injuly 2015, following the party's disastrous election result. it now has 12 seats. mr farron said he said he was "torn between living as a faithful christian and serving as a political leader". from the very first day of my leadership two years ago i have faced questions about my christian faith. i have tried to answer with grace and patience sometimes my a nswe i’s grace and patience sometimes my answers could have been wiser. at the start of this election, i found myself under scrutiny. asked about matters to do with my faith. i felt guilty that the focus was distracting attention from a campaign, obscuring our message. journalists have every right to ask whatever they see fit, the consequences of the focus on my faith is that i have found myself torn between living as a faithful christian and serving as a political leader. a better, wiser person than me may have been able to deal with this more successfully, to have remained faithful t

applause so, i am the leader of the liberal democrats.ituents by signing the pledge in 2015 to vote against an increase in tuition fees and i kept my pledge. you can argue it cost me a place as a minister during that time of the coalition government. it's important to keep your promises. it's also important to do what is right by the people that you represent. whatever one thinks about tuition fees, i can tell you from my experience as a working—class lad who got to university in the late 1980s, what helped me to get to university was the simple fact that i got a maintenance award and that is what made the difference between me and my folks being able to afford me going to university. that is what the liberal democrats are committed to replacing, bringing in a £7,000 a year maintenance award, so folks like me and many in the united kingdom, can afford to go to university. are you convinced? ijust think if the conservatives don't get the majority they need, and there is another coalition, how many of the pledges you have made just now will

we are hearing from vince cable that he will be a candidate for the liberal democrat leadership. n the national political stage he is as passionate as ever about the party's liberal values. he said with the prospect of another election looming large, they must be ready for the fight. the brexit negotiations started, the government is weakened, and he argues the liberal democrats alone have a consistent and principled outward looking approach. he said the contest is going to take place with the biggest membership electorate in the biggest membership electorate in the party's history. these arejust some lines from a lengthy statement from sir vince cable. he has announced he is standing to replace tim farron as leader. we will get more about that with norman smith in just a few minutes. before that... the family of a man arrested after a terror attack near a london mosque say they are "shocked" and "devastated". father—of—four darren osborne, was held on suspicion of attempted murder and terror offences after a van hit muslim worshippers in finsbury park. last night a vigil took pla

let's cross now to the liberal democrat campaign bus.r from this final day of campaigning. how about the lib dems? well, like the other parties we are crisscrossing the country today. we were in total than a couple of hours today —— a couple of hours ago and then we were in twickenham, two seeds which voted overwhelmingly to remain in the eu. that is at the heart of the liberal democrat manifesto. they have dug themselves the anti—brexit party since the outset and they say if they are successful in the election tomorrow, they will give people the opportunity to have a say on that crucial deal struck between the eu and the government. remember, they are trying to appeal to the 48% of the electorate who voted to remain. we will be finding out tomorrow whether that message has been successful in a bid to get them any more seats. thank you very much for that. the mega touch on the campaign bus with the liberal democrats. more on the last day of campaigning to come. the death toll in the london bridge attack has risen to eight, after a body w

i am clearly one for the liberal democrats. iam in clearly one for the liberal democrats.u—turn on it, saying there would be a cap on social care cost without putting a price on it. tim farron has been here making his pledge for putting up income tax to ensure that social care could be funded. this room is set up to look like a funded. this room is set up to look likea pub. funded. this room is set up to look like a pub. we have the table football here, and i have still not managed to score a goal. this is a specialist dementia care home, to try to allow the residents here to have the memories provoked of the past. there is a small shop out in the garden, all of the cottagers have street names, and there is a post box as well. the idea is that as people have shorter term memory losses, memories of early in their lives can be provoked by villager landmarks that are scattered through this home. the liberal democrats are using this as a backdrop to try to talk about their two policies that they are keen to emphasise in this mad dash towards polling day. brexit and social care

front and centre of the liberal democrats's ma nifesto centre of the liberal democrats's manifesto siteferendum to allow the people another vote on that deal between brussels and the government. they say people completed to leave the eu, but now people should be given the opportunity to say on what terms. so, st albans voted overwhelmingly to remain in the eu, and now we are off to twickenham which also voted to remain. the party has also spoken about how they wa nt to party has also spoken about how they want to legalise cannabis, bring in tens of thousands of syrian refugees into the country if they are successful in the election, but as i said, right at the centre of their ma nifesto said, right at the centre of their manifesto has been this pledge. it is that anti—brexit sentiment that they have been riding for the last five weeks. whether it will be successful or not remains to be seen. successful or not remains to be seen. thank you. president trump has spoken to the king of saudi arabia to discuss his country's decision to cut ties with qatar because of its alleged support for ex

they had similar things and liberal democrats. they had similarthings in and liberal democrats.ings in the 1970s, when labour was governing with minority governments of various kinds, but we have not been used since then to any kind of instability. governments have won majorities big or small, and they have governed with those. even up to 1997, whenjohn major's majority basically disappeared, there were not any formal arrangements to keep his government in power. so it is newish territory. there are ten dup mps. this is like all their christmases rolled into one. this is a chance for them to exert the kind of influence on a british government that they have not had for donkeys years, and not just on issues relating to northern ireland, but on other issues where they feel northern ireland has an interest. so i think they will want to extra ct interest. so i think they will want to extract as much as possible from this. they will not want to push it too far, because the government could end up walking away. but they will want to maximise their leverage, and why wouldn't they? sinn

the liberal democrats bumpy long—on 8%, although they are focusing better this time.aid. ukip on 1% is a big part of the story. their voters crashed. look at that, down 1196. voters crashed. look at that, down 11%. it was thought it would go straight to the conservatives but he didn't. labour benefited as well. this is where all the action will be 110w. this is where all the action will be now. have a look at the government benches. the conservatives have 318 seats. they are the largest single party but are short of an overall majority. they need 326 to be able to upload all the other mps put together. so the tories have a problem. let's have a look at the opposition bench. and improve the labour party. the snp by contrast down by more than one third. only five mps now. a dozen for the lib dems. in northern ireland, the dup celebrating ten. sinn fein have seven. played —— the independent is a northern ireland mp. no one from ukip in the house of commons. there are more than 200 female mps for the first time. that in itself is indicative. let's go back to the challenge

we can now speak to liberal democrat mp alistair carmichael. hejoins us now.d afternoon. what do you think of this potential deal between the dup and the conservatives? from the point of view of the peace process it is fraught with difficulty. your viewers will have heard the wise words of sirjohn major. i think theresa may would do well to listen. theresa may would do well to listen. the peace process in northern ireland is precious and should not be played with lightly. the difficulty is of course a deal with the dup only really gets to the starting line. she has five and a half years of negating every vote every day in the house of commons andi every day in the house of commons and i do not think the deal that, any deal she's going to do, we'll give her that. she still has enormous difficulties. the only way for her to get through this would be to a cce pt for her to get through this would be to accept the people told us last week that nobody is going to get their own way all the time and she should be reaching out to work with people in other parties acros

liberal democrats did mention looking at pension reform again.ose members down. we are seeing auto enrolment, a good start. people are starting to say for a pensioner who would not otherwise. but the rate at which people are saving is too low. too many younger people are not thinking about retirement. the need for social care is something that happens to older people and old age is something that happens to older people. thank you. i little bit later this afternoon we are going to be taking your questions. do send them into us. we will be able to ask some of our experts to give their responses to the queries you have about old age pension saving, whether you are old or young. i‘m glad they are not asking you because i‘m not sure your voice is going to hold out! willie walsh, the chief executive of british airways‘ parent company, iag, has defended the airline‘s handling of the computer failure which caused chaos for passengers worldwide. in his first television interview since the bank holiday incident, he praised the way the crisis was handled.
