great to secretary mark harper.ark, funnily enough, the labour party are running scared. well, i know , and we've scared. well, i know, and we've had our altercations in the past, but it's good to see you in the flesh because would you believe the labour party haven't put anyone up to us today? i think because of my interview with emily thornberry last week. so i'm glad that even though you're having an absolute hammering in the polls, you're not afraid of some robust questioning . questioning. >> no. well, perhaps that says what labour think about your viewers and the fact they maybe don't fit labour's metropolitan bias. camilla. but no, i'm always happy to come on, even when you give me a hard time. >> all right. i'm going to give you a hard time about the polling because it is absolutely catastrophic for the tories. we've now got a prediction that you might only win 72 seats, which would be, let's be honest, apocalyptic . we've got rishi apocalyptic. we've got rishi sunak's approval rating continuing to tank, the

mark harper, thank you ve much 4th ofjuly. mark harper, thank you very much for— 4th ofjuly.t social care, nigel farage, all sorts of things. andy, what did you think of what wes streeting has to say about social care? it is a long—term promise, if we win we will do something in ten years' time. i was encouraged- _ something in ten years' time. i was encouraged- l— something in ten years' time. i was encouraged. i heard _ something in ten years' time. i —" encouraged. i heard positivity from wes and a lot of scaremongering in the last interview. your interview brought out the character of this election, i heard from wes a national care service within a ten year period which sounds pretty encouraging to me. an immediate pay rise for carers. the situation we are going into is really challenging. i respect mark, and he's a good communicator but this is the flaw in what he was saying, if you want lower taxes and lower migration, the obvious choices conservatives. we have the highest tax burden in living memory and the highest net migration under them so he is argument completely

which mark harper tried to then crowbar into almost every single answer in the interview that we did wes streeting. that's not what labour is saying, but what they are saying is basically after this manifesto period, what they hope is that the economy will grow so there is more money to spend. but i just wonder if actually that little twin pack this morning of wes streeting followed by mark harper on this issue, might become the row for the next kind of 2a to 36 hours in the campaign. really? because you're then saying to me, based on your programme, what i've read in my papers, which is that less sunak from the conservatives, more tax. yes. and that's going to be my next five days. it is. and i had a very similar conversation with... i think you were referring to the tim shipman piece in today's sunday times. iam. i had similar conversations in the last 2a hours with people involved in the sort of sunak circle that they see that labour left a vulnerability with their manifesto launch by not ruling out every tax rise under the sun. but you can't rule out every tax rise under the sun.

and mel stride and mark harper, the transport secretary.are a conservative who likes to chat about things privately, you might suggest that cabinet ministers just aren't willing to go out to stump for what some people believe has been a very disastrous campaign thus far. if you are less cynical than that, you might say, "well, the campaign has been designed very much around rishi sunak himself," and also lots of those erstwhile cabinet ministers are busy doing something called "trying to keep their own seats" rather than gallivanting around the country, being on the airwaves. also on the suella braverman point, do you remember an event a few days ago? i can't remember if it was a hustings or an interview — rishi sunak listed some previous home secretaries and he missed out suella braverman, even though she's had the job twice. was it a deliberate burn, do we think? i think it was. yes, i think it was. although he also missed out grant shapps, who actually only had the job for a week, so maybe that's more understandable. was it even a week?!

i shall be asking mark harper , the asking mark harper, the transport secretary, all of these questions being reduced to 72 seats. there's been echoes , haven't there's been echoes, haven't there? it's been spoken about in terms of what happened in canada in 1993, when the conservative party there was reduced to just two seats. imagine. and what he's got to respond to that. and also whether he thinks that rishi sunak is a help or a hindrance on the election campaign. you'll have noticed last week, guys, that boris johnson popped up in quite a few tories campaign videos , as i'm tories campaign videos, as i'm going to ask mr harper whether he thinks it might be better to have boris campaigning in the forest of dean rather than rishi sunak, who, let's be honest, his poll ratings have not recovered since the d—day debacle and of course we've noticed, haven't we, that there are several tory candidates who simply have wiped rishi sunak off their leafleting and put people like nigel farage on? i know andrea jenkyns particularly right, saying that she'd rather be photographed with farage on a

we asked mark harper, the transport secretary, if he was going to pony up the cash for wales and he said are consequentials to wales, scotland and northern ireland. this is a project that was designated — an england and a wales project, even though there's not a centimetre of track in wales. kpmg did a study that said it would be detrimental to the welsh economy, yet we're paying for it, and as spending on hs2 goes up, spending available for rail in wales actually goes down. i don't think that is a just situation. it needs to be addressed, and imagine what we could do with that £4 billion for connectivity in wales. one of the other things in your manifesto this week is you say you want to have net zero carbon emissions by 2035. now, some of our viewers might think that sounds like a laudable goal, but 2035 is extremely stretching. is that realisitc? i think we have to be setting the bar high. and for us in wales in particular, given that we are energy rich, there is an economic element to this as well as policies and aspirations that allow us to reach our environmental obligations. now,

, we are out >> okay, mark harper, we are out of time. >> other than, you know, the election . stephanie is here. and election. stephanie is here. and suzan holder. and let's start with. i think it's your story, isn't it? yes. >> so which is about hypothermia in airport queues. so. yeah >> so it sounds ridiculous, but just in the last day or two, so many people have been queuing for so long at birmingham airport, that two people were treated for hypothermia . and the treated for hypothermia. and the reason for the queues is partly to do with the fact they've had these new brand new scanners which have been coming for a couple of years, which are meant to kind of stop you having to put all your liquids into those little plastic bags and put them in the tray separately so you can all put up to two litres worth in your bag. who needs two litres worth in your hand? luggage is what i would like to ask. but anyway, that's what they were meant to be bringing in. and of course, these new scanners not working as well as they wanted them to know. t

and mark harper, the transport secretary who's a close friend of rishi sunaks and endorsed his campaignder when he was running against liz truss, also said that the prime minister had made a mistake. there was even talk yesterday, whispers in westminster that rishi sunak might be on the verge of resigning. the rumour was that he had simply had enough. he was miserable after his d—day gaffe and wanted to step away before the next election. well, this morning mel stride, the work and pensions secretary, has dismissed that rumour as rubbish. he says that rishi sunak will be leading the party into the next election. but things really are not looking good for the conservatives this morning. labour is leading by an astonishing 25 points in the polls. that's the biggest lead since march, and it's difficult at the moment to see that closing any time soon. >> olivier, just very quickly, we are running out of time here. but i mean, nadine dorries is our, been i know it's been denied. i know rishi is staying there, etc. etc. but nadine dorries obviously not often the most reliable person , was mos
