for example, luciana berger who isjewish set fostered. he said he had forced an entire moderate centre—right position from the party with 21 mps forced out. he said borisjohnson was reluctant to have an inquiry into anti—semitism because he would be the chief subject. he said that the conservatives during this campaign we go back to the greatest hits of the referendum campaign in 2016 and use immigration to whip up fear so they clearly believe those are two mps, the liberal democrats believe these are two mps with a strong potential attack on what they see as racism and the other two big parties —— in the other two big parties. you can find out what each party is promising to do on the issues that matter to you in our general election policy guide, which will be updated throughout the campaign, including once the manifestos are published. that is at bbc.co.uk/news or on the bbc news app. accident and emergency departments in england have recorded their worst performance since current records began in 2004. other targets covering cancer an

and i can put on the other side luciana berger, she had horrific abuse directed at her and she left theo go, because of this lack of leadership, as they see it, byjeremy corbyn, that tells you a lot, surely? her leaving is a real shame. ithink that tells you a lot, surely? her leaving is a real shame. i think it was because of the abuse she received online from people purporting to be labour party members. she has publicly been very disappointed by how the leadership has dealt with that. the question of leadership, jeremy corbyn could be in number10 leadership, jeremy corbyn could be in number 10 within weeks. and clearly, he has had three years at the top of politics now. he has failed to deal with this problem. the labour party is under investigation. the investigation into procedures has not come through yet. i look forward to seeing the result. it is important that the labour party hold themselves to the highest of standards. but for them to stamp out anti—semitism before it enters government, there is a real threat here. jewish people are not safe or secure. there are a lot of thre

then—labour mp luciana berger was among those to condemn his comments. is a tee up the time. treat at the time. she has since left the party and joined the liberal democrats. jeremy corbyn‘s supporters say the anti—semitism accuations are amplified by his critics in order to do political damage. they question whether any action by labour on this issue would be enough. others point to the examples i've listed — and the numerous other example sof anti—semitic comments posted online by people who say they support labour — as evidence the left has a problem. for his part, mr corbyn has always maintained his intolerance of anti—semitism — and said so again today. anti—semitism is a poison and an evil in our society. any form of racism is a poison in an evil in our society. i have spent my whole life fighting against racism. i will die in anti—racist. —— i will die an anti—racist. i want every community to feel safe and supported in this country. jewish community, muslim community, hindu community, any other community from any faith or any other part of the wo

labour party, ican hear them went towards the labour party, i can hear the applause, this is for luciana bergernd the fact that we are doing that is a sign of the huge growth of support that we have seen huge growth of support that we have seen within our party, we have thousands more activists. we have thousands more activists. we have thousands more activists. we have thousands more supporters and members. offering our country hope. we are here at an exciting time, and it's also the most serious of times at the moment, we have the opportunity to change our nation 's course but we have an opportunity to change the chaos that we find ourselves in the midst of which could stop brexit. because too many things are not working as they should be, we seek the conservatives and the labour party stuck in the past, failing time and again to deliver a better future. how often have people in this room been out on the doorstep and heard people not being able to decide which would be the worst option? borisjohnson, fostering a hostile environment in our country or jeremy corbyn, fostering a hostile environm

that, but let me say, from the people that i have spoken to in the labour party, when i speak to luciana bergerdo not feel, they do not feel thatjeremy corbyn is fighting racism and anti—semitism in the labour party. they know what that feels like and i am going to listen to them and trust them on this issue. let us take a question now from magdalene lake. having voted for fracking a number of times, how can we be sure of your commitment to halting climate change? well i am against fracking. why did you vote against a ban on it in 2015? when we are in the coalition government, my liberal democrat colleague ed davey was the energy secretary and he put in place very stringent regulations. yes, you're deputy now, of course. but as a party, things have moved on, that was four years ago and we are against fracking, we want a ban on fracking because the climate emergency is such that we shouldn't be starting new fossil fuel industries. we need to be changing the way that we produce our energy ina way the way that we produce our energy in a way that we heat our homes, we need to be getting the carbon
