the back of the news we mentioned earlier that the prime minister borisjohnson may earlier that the prime minister boris johnsonson may well be tweaking the withdrawal agreement bill so it becomes law that the transition period cannot be extended beyond the end of 2020. that does risk a no—deal exit. our top story. it will take a century to close the gender gap across politics, economics, health and education, the latest sobering headline of the global gender gap report. now, christmas beckons — and for many, the festive season wouldn't be the same without their favourite tipple. in the uk, the top choice is usually wine. that's why the average brit now drinks 108 bottles a year — far more than in the rest of the western world. it's a thriving market worth over $13 billion a year in the country alone. so far this year, the industry has generated around $370 billion worldwide with a rise in popularity for high—end brands. well, our guest — tatiana fokina — is hoping to take advantage of this booming market. she runs hedonism which is a fine wine and spirits boutique. and hide, a barand restaurant in london. than

now turning attention to the johnson letter, if i may. >> yes. johnson was getting ready to travel to ukraine on september 5th with senator murphy. and johnson wanted the aid released and called the president. actually sought permission to be the bearer of good news. the president said, i'm not ready to lift the aid. and he had this, senator johnson, he writes a 10 page letter, very detailed, and he gives some remarkable detail. and i'd like to read it. it's on page six. i add, this is senator johnson arrangement where ukraine would take some action and the hold would be lifted. without hesitation, senator johnson says, president trump immediately denies the arrangement existed and he started cursing. and he said, no way. president trump said no way. i would never do that. who told you that? and senator johnson goes on to say that president trump's reaction here was adamant, vehement, and angry. senator johnson goes on to say as of october 31st, said you're going to like my decision in the has very important context on what the president's state o

the study shows nigel farage may cost the johnson as party. ge may cost thejohnson as many party. the study shows nigel farage may cost the johnson as many as party. the study shows nigel farage may cost thejohnson as many as 16 seats. that could well be the case, and when you are talking about whether parties are being complacent, this is where i think the tories are really concerned about being complacent, because they can see that even with the brexit party vote, squeezed as it is, nevertheless, if there is still the brexit those in some of these seats, they could deny the conservative party 16 seats that they might otherwise pick up. of course, the interesting thing is it is notjust the tory brexit party which is at play. on the leave side, you have the big play on the remains side where the lib dems are squeezing the vote very considerably. yes, the brexit party standing in labour seats is not necessarily a bad thing for labour if those brexit party votes are votes that would have gone to the conservatives. that's what we don't know. wheth

elections are the same, 2017, he was up elections are the same, 2017, he was up against theresa may, not boris johnsonith ever seen in a election battlefield. borisjohnson, whatever you say, i've got a lot to say about him, he is a campaigner. the second thing is back then, for a lot of people, you and i, we live in this world and jeremy corbyn was a known quantity. for a lot of people, he wasn't and he did a lot in part because a lot of people thought there was no chance of him winning. you had labour mps going around saying vote for me but don't worry, he can't win. this time, the conservatives successfully named this election, this is why it was such a disaster for labour to fall into the trap of having it, they made it as the brexit— corbin election. corbyn is the guy stopping brexit, we are about getting brexit done and that became a mix that labour couldn't resist. lynn mccluskey, one of the most important players in the labour movement, the unite union, says the people who have been sniping at corbin for yea rs, have been sniping at corbin for years, and he has you in his sights, they do it bec

been very divisive i'm just wondering now whether one of the figures we saw standing behind bones johnson may have done a better job for labor whether they would have someone like one of the novelty characters in novelty characters i think what you just said about boris johnson holds true for all labor's lost it's down to jeremy colvin he's proved to be such a divisive figure his his manifest of. didn't resonate he didn't have that populist suggesting message the boss johnson that he's had trouble quelling dispelling the allegations of semitism running so it was very difficult for labor. then his supposed said things for. haven't seen in groups terrorist groups hamas. and so i think all that has played into the fact that he just hasn't managed to hone in on what we have to say that now once where the labor heartlands ok so let's hear now from germany and what he had to say. i want to also make it clear that i will not lead the party in any future general election campaign i will discuss with our party to ensure there is a process now of reflection on this result and on the policies that the p

british vote at the top of the show looking down there was headlines crossing that looks like boris johnson may be able to keep the conservative majority we'll get more in a second. >> sorry about that dan. >> interesting point about the reflation trade and the last time we thought about in was 2018 it came amp the big jobs -- excuse me the big tax cut in late 2017. we saw rates go back up. what did we see this year? rates went down in front what was three consecutive rate cuts by the fomc pmt here is the thing, is 2020 going to be like 2018 stock market was volatile preponderates went up because people felt better about global growth and that sort of thing. but it was a volatile year and the selloff fro the january highs to february lows fook seven, eight nine months to get to the prior highs does 2020 set up like that if we if you would pulled forward for the market performance. >> in '18 the u.s. was leading economic expansion because we had the stimulus nous it's the global economy bottoming. they are more attacked by trade. quite frankly the u.s. economy is more closed i would argue the u.

we saw that with theresa may boris johnson has promised different things to different people in the runnup to this we don't know which version of brexit might be on his mind or his party's mind we've seen him argue both ways he could ignore the erg and go for the soft brexit or he'll have the strength to ignore the center of his party and do a hard brexit. we don't know yet. >> didn't corbyn do something where he turned it into 26% tax from 19% tax nationalize aiti nationalization rather than ownership. the relief of business owners and investors must be extraordinary today. this was an old fashioned 1983-like election, wasn't it? >> we are talking about the 1970s sadly. >> '83 is when you saw the end i thinks that what we are seeing today. i think in very large part, we are seeing reaction today which is the sigh of relief that corbyn is nowhere near power we've seen the labor party arguing whether it was brexit or that shift that lost it. my perspective is that it was that shift what lost it. they always spiked themselves with brexit. >> we are saying various parties. >> quite a long lis

that may cause a lot of people, because, again, boris johnson are. ot of different priorities with very wide electorate now that involves post—industrial areas but also traditional tory heartlands. people for whom brexit is the main issue but people who feel left behind. but there may be other things as well. for instance, he may be looking at electoral reform and the boundary review, which got kicked into the long grass, you know. yeah. the sunday times headline is pm to wield the axe on cabinet. do you see that as happening? he will have to take his time because during the tory leadership campaign, it was put out that borisjohnson leadership campaign, it was put out that boris johnson would, leadership campaign, it was put out that borisjohnson would, you know, cut cabinet, cleave the seats off, make it a slimline but then he realised it was quite good to reward his supporters with lots of good jobs in the post. next week, he will have to plug a gap left by alun cairns, who resigned as welsh secretary around the start of the campaign and nicky morga

may be forced johnson has the option of taking a more flexible approach to the next round of negotiations. >> cable up. back to 1.33. the average post-brexit referendum is 1.30. we are not a million miles away from that. we have avoided the hard edged story if this is the accurate result. is this? if we get past this tonight and move on of a conservative majority of this kind of size and think about how do we negotiate a trade deal with any use, that will be the next phase. anna: it would give him the flexibility to go back on a couple of brexit pledges. he could ignore the brexiteers. yes, it was in the manifesto there would be no extension, but if you have this kind of majority, getting a trade deal any year will be hard. this will give them the potentially the flexibility. the bring in some guests now. you set next to me for the last minute and a half and all i heard was, wow. >> incredible. to see 368 is incredible. some context. this exit poll tends to get it wrong by 15 seats maximum. to get this wrong, it has to be a new historical error. the pound at 1.34. that is a big move. thes

cheering we can speak now to james johnson, former pollster to theresa may. ield, tony blair's former constituency. thank you for coming in. you have done some polling in terms of what might have tipped it in this massive victory for what are you finding? we found the brexit message that the conservatives had, as borisjohnson said, resonated the most, with 87% of voters who defected from labour citing get brexit done as the main reason for coming over, and 85% of conservative voters, so the power of the message was coming through. some other things, consistently in focus groups during the campaign thatjeremy corbyn has been a real problem for labour, people not trusting him, people not feeling they represent him, but also anti—semitism and, in that polling, we have one in five, almost one in five voters who left labour and went direct to the conservatives citing anti—semitism is one of the main reasons for their vote. that is quite significant. anti—semitism was a key factor. are there any other factors you have found in terms of the switches? the economy is s

a great victory for the conservative party by which i mean they share a vote between theresa may and johnsonfrom 42% to 43. what really happened is the labor party vote went from 40% to 32%. so it was a collapse of support for the lay br party. rather than a big increase for the koconservative party. why did it happen. the labor party moved really far left. and when given a choice between a radical and even johnson who is not a particularly popular conservative. they went for the conservative. he represented something simple and clear. get brexit done. what did the labor party stand for? really what happened here is it is a harbinger. what happened to the labor party is the traditional labor stronghold. there are seats that they lost they they have won since 1945. since 1950. they lost that working class vote that went to johnson. because it was simpler and clearer and the people were not as scared. the radicalism of corbin scared people off. i think the democrats have to think about how to present themselves clear message. don't come across as so far left that you lose people. and you have

tonight it looks like british prime minister boris johnson may get to lead the country's divorce from europe on his terms thanks in part to a catchy social media campaign. mark phillips is in london tonight, and mark, it looks like a victory for conservatives in this election, right? >> reporter: well, there won't be any official results for several hours yet, but there is an exit poll, and it is showing a significant and comprehensive victory for boris johnson and his conservative party. in the past these exit polls have proved very reliable. for the man who wanted this election, there was only one issue: how to bulldoze through his brexit deal. in order for boris johnson to make good on his promise to pull the u.k. out of the european union by the end of next month, he needed a clean win. >> what is it that we're going to do? we're going to get brexit done. >> reporter: of course like the styrofoam blocks in his visual aid, it's all a bit messier than that. for starters, the main opposition labour party leader, jeremy corbyn, wanted to fight a different battle, reinvesting in public

theresa may for instance and boris johnson coming after her and sort of readjust their own position to what was happening in london so at least that will be over but on the other hand they know of course that now comes the hard part and the hard part is figuring out how britain and the european union on the other hand are going to deal with each other in the future what ruled the relationship look like and the signs for that don't really just make you feel very optimistic at the moment because boris johnson was quite hard edged he is taking out all the softer pieces out of the withdrawal agreement and he he really emphasized that he doesn't want to align was european troops and regulations so it's going to be bitter it's going to be very difficult and i hate to make the prospects seem even worse but actually we're not just even talking about trading of course in a new relationship things such as security education medicines all of that needs to be worked out i mean how complicated is it going to be so all of that. it will be very complicated plus it can absolutely not under no circumst

with the majority of 10 boris johnson may be subject to the fringe of his party, the euro skeptics wantrexit as soon as possible. a majority of 40 he might be able to isolate the fringe and have enough numbers to back an extension if that makes sense. my bet would be if the economy is riding high next year and boris need six months or 12 months more to negotiate you might try to go for it, to go for some kind of fudge to eliminate the hard brexit risk. guy: thank you for stopping by. senior economist joining us. this is bloomberg. ♪ latest time for your bloomberg business flash, the biggest business stories. uberayor of london says if wants its license back to operate in the city it cannot expect special treatment. are other examples where drivers who had been suspended or dismissed were allowed to use somebody else's identities are drive people are around. there are other concerns from the regulator. is the sameto uber i give to any business. you are welcome in london if you play by the rules of the game. plans to appeal the london regulator's decision. a shakeup at expedia, the ceo an

. >> i want to congratulate boris johnson on a terrific victory. i think that may be a harbinger of what's to come in our country. it was last time. i i'm sure people will be thrilled to hear that. >> i think he might be onto something. is he? >> reporter: absolutely. i think there's a big lesson from the british election. the most important thing to look at is this was not a great victory for the conservative party by which i mean the conservatives share a vote between theresa may's share and boris johnson's notched up from 42% to 43%. what really happened is the labor party vote went from 40% in 2017 to 32%. in other words, it was a collapse of support for the labor party rather than a big increase for the conservative party. so that's point one. point two, why did it happen? because the labor party moved really far left. and when given a choice between a radical and even boris johnson was not a particularly popular conservative, they went for the conservative. c, boris johnson represented something very simple and clear. get brexit done. what did the labor party

his foreign policy, may be his personality. in that sense, johnson got lucky.k >> it was the central issue of this election, and many voters just -- i also think brexit was the central issue of this election, and many voters just want it over with so they can move on with their lives. where he gets a lot of credit is for a campaign that was disciplined, and where he was able to portray himself as the change candidate. that wasw a chart beautiful and showed the london liberals, the london labour, and the rest of labour as well. how far apart this morning is the fancy london labour from the rest of the nation labour? therese: we are seeing a seachange, a complete remaking of both parties. -- the labour youngis now metropolitan, . the conservatives going up 11 points among working-class voters is a very different conservative party to the one margaret thatcher dominated for so long. but for the labour party, they really have a big decision to make. do they try to expand that base, and will they ever reclaim the labour heartland if they can't find a way to appeal t

absolutely right and this is happened time and time again and that was the problem with may and now boris johnson completely different he has a mandate that you have not seen certainly in the u.k. with an 80 seat majority since 1935 that's when the labor party lost last this march the conservative party hasn't seen this majority since 1907 with margaret thatcher the iron lady so a couple of things with regard to the trade deal tying those 2 points together it took the e.u. 7 year is to do a trade deal with canada so when you juxtapose that with 11 months it's basically left this is what i would say is a very different you've got boris johnson what is boris johnson doing he has got don't trump up a sleeve and he also has china he has the rest of the world to deal with and that's what he's vying for i personally think he's playing hardball and the threat of a even 25 percent is going to do very well in terms of making the e.u. actually do something instead of yes kristie just talking about it as recently as friday president was immediately tweeting out saying let's get the deal done really between

bring in for the moment though emma heywood reporter who is in boris johnson's constituency oxbridge and south reisa because. they may be predicting a big win for boris johnson and the conservatives on the national picture but in his own constituency there could yet be an upset coming for boris johnson. and it would be a major upset turn of course no guarantees but boris johnson to win this seat for the 3rd time when he was elected back in 2017 is majority was hard from his 2015 victory but in recent weeks recent months there's been a real campaign to oust boris johnson from the spawn stich would say and i think a lot of his critics here say is rarely free in the constituency he was of course taking photos with people in the constituency looking beriberi boys up and of course he has reason to feel void out because he must be confident of a national way but here not so competent perhaps but it will be a massive upset if he was to lose this seat you talked a lot about right say it might be the case that there his work that message get it done may resonate here because here in this constituency 57 people 57 percent of p

johnson has every interest in making this happen. emmanuel macron is leading the eu and has every intention of having it out. these folks may get grind it but let's not mistake this is a very different game. if we think this will be another painful agonizing thing, we should be prepared for the fact that johnson may be willing to pull the u.k. right out. vonnie: -- david: there is another variable. it depends what kind of deal you want to have. if it will be a minimal deal, which will be closer to a no deal brexit, it is easier to do that than to negotiate each one of those painstaking deals. flavia: absolutely. at the end of the day he will try to protect the financial community as much as he can and he will start doing side deals with the americans. it does not need to be a sweeping fda, could be lots of small deals on key interest areas for both parties. calculushe political going into the negotiation will be quite different. before hand the eu was thriving. the negotiations dictating and imposing the terms. that is not going to happen this time around. it is a different set of political circumstances. vonnie: and it mak

and similarly, there are other people who may not wa nt there are other people who may not want boris johnson find it very difficult to give their votes to the lib dems because they —— the revoking article 50 is undemocratic. the huge error that nigel farage made was not to stand candidates everywhere so he is languishing bottom at the polls, the brexit party has not quite taken off. u nfortu nate title party has not quite taken off. unfortunate title given to the labour leader, the worst anti—semite on the planet! it is quite an extraordinary... it is a damaging story for the labour party, and more on that in a minute, but it is an extraordinary attack from the world's leading nazi hunting organisation. they have said if jeremy corbyn was to win the election on thursday, brittin would become a pariah state, and it goes on to quote a leading rabbi, saying, if it was not for winston churchill in britain leading the fight against nazis, who knows if the allies would have won? britain was at the forefront of defeating hitler and now on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz the pers

now turning attention to the ron johnson letter if i may. >> yes. >> on august 31st, senator johnson is getting ready to travel to ukraine on september 5th with senator -- with murphy. and he wanted -- johnson wanted the aid released so he calls the president and sought permission to be the bearer of good news. >> right. >> the president said i'm not ready to lift the aid. they had this -- senator johnson, he writes a ten-page letter, very detailed, and he gives some remarkable detail and i would like to read it. it's on page 6. i -- this is senator johnson speaking, he said i asked him whether there was some kind o

johnson may be the fastest impeachment. what happens to johnson was the fourth impeachment. and actually -- they lay the track doors a year before. >> i want to go back to something else when you talk about bribery. it bothers the perception out there of what's going on here in the disputed, the call has been laid out and the president said i wanted nothing for this. there is all that's not presented in the last 45 minutes. one thing is interesting and reported in the mainstream media, it goes back to your issue does crimes matter or what the definition is. we still hear it as we go through. as reported, they use a political focus group to determine whether the phrase polls well so they changed the case to bribery. >> it does. it is obvious and it is not that you can't impeach a non crime, you can. in fact non-crimes have never gone up alone or primarily as the bases of impeachmentme. that's the problem here. if you prove a quid pro quo, you may have an impeachable offense. to go up on a non criminal case, why is that the case? the reason is that crimes have established defi

both men are fairly unpopular, corbyn in particular but johnson was less popular than theresa may.of campaigning. the more people saw of her, the less popular she was... we saw that withjo her, the less popular she was... we saw that with jo swinson in it her, the less popular she was... we saw that withjo swinson in it is campaign. theresa may should take the credit for boris johnson's campaign and victory because the manifesto that he produced was a slim down, distilled version of what she put forward in 2017 stop this strategy of targeting the seat in the north and the midlands which traditionally voted labour was also her strategy and calling an election to get a mandate for brexit was her strategy. he took her playbook and did ita strategy. he took her playbook and did it a lot better. johnson is a very good campaigner. when he was mayor of london, he won twice in a labour city, a city which has become more labour in this campaign. yes, if you faced a better labour container, he may not have got an 80 seat majority but the fact he has a connection to the big party makes a very

to date with the very latest developments we are being told we understand that boris johnson the prime minister may address the nation any moment now i suspect he'll wait until the sun has risen and the rain has passed through happens we'll bring it to you live here on al-jazeera let's talk to tim from u.k. in a changing europe the morning after the night before you know well it's shaping up to be a massive indication obama. johnson's strategy since he took over as leader he was determined to quash the existential threat of the brics it party posed to the conservative party member the conservative party only got 10 percent of the vote back in the european parliament elections in june and he has succeeded beyond i think most conservatives while the samantha nations this is a landslide victory that threat the threat he's kind of kicked back fairly and squarely directly at the labor party i mean the labor party right now as of this morning a little bit like the party what are they for and who do they represent well that's quite right i think bracks it was to some extent the straw that broke the camel'

now, turning attention to the ron johnson letter if i may. >> yes. >> on august 31st, senator johnson is getting ready to travel to ukraine on september 5th with senator murphy. and he wanted -- johnson wanted the aid released, he calls the president, he actually sought permission to be the bearer of good news. >> right. >> the president said, i'm not ready to lift the aid. and they had this -- senator johnson. he writes a ten page letter, very detailed. and he gives some remarkable deta detail. and i'd like to read it, it's on page 6. i add -- this is senator johnson speaking, i asked him whether there was some kind of arrangement where ukraine would take some action and the hold would be

johnson has a lady in the polls and they don't want to risk that in any way with donald trump who mayon. downing street saying this -- the white house though open to the opportunity of a bilateral, we're told. they're much more focused, though, on many of the issues coming up at nato. this is to be a celebration of 70 years of this great alliance. lots of splits forming. so donald trump and the u.s. very big on the china angle, chine chinese influence. also president macron very keen on rethinking the whole idea of nato as well. so there are going to be lots of splits appearing. the other element we'll come up with a isis off the back of this terror attack in london last week. >> let's talk about that, max, this is right in the aftermath of the terror attack at london bridge. and so what is prime minister johnson -- how's he dealing with all that? >> well, both he and opposition leader jeremy corbyn have suspend campaigning today to honor the two main victims. so there they are at that vigil a few minutes ago. they were stabbed to death by osmo0 osmond khan. he was released after ough

speaking just ahead of the queen's speech she was reminding very much that boris johnson may have a mandate here in england but he most certainly doesn't seem to have a mandate north of the border in scotland where the s.n.p. on 80 percent of the seats there they are from it will force now in the new parliament and they will continue to hold boards johnson's feet to the fire going forward the s.n.p. are firmly pro e.u. policy they do not want to see the united kingdom dragged out of the european union on january 31st so they didn't notice or has noted that people may not have necessarily voted for the s.n.p. because they want to see a referendum to become an independent country that is really central to her agenda going forward and she set forth her plan to try and push for a 2nd independence referendum wherever that may be we simply don't know but it's an issue that boris johnson is going to be uncomfortably challenged with most certainly in the months possibly even years to come. live from london thank you. i believe he is attorney general has ordered the arrest of former president evel m

it may not all be plain sailing for borisjohnson, one it may not all be plain sailing for boris johnson plain sailing for borisjohnson, one of the key issues he is going to have to deal with are the renewed calls for another independence referendum in scotland. the snp back here in very large numbers. this is what their westminster leader ian blackford had to say. this government thinks it can do what it wants to with scotland and get away with it. it will not happen on our watch. hear, hear. the tories are risking our economy and reducing opportunities for citizens. mr speaker, the choice is clear — an outward—looking country with a vision of tolerance, inclusiveness and prosperity for all, in contrast to this offering of a union run by a tory party who don't care about scotland. borisjohnson boris johnson wants to borisjohnson wants to be seen to be getting on with things. tomorrow the withdrawal agreement bill will come back to the house of commons for its second reading. it has been published and it really does tell the tale of how much less input, really, the parliament is going to

do you think too much is being made of the application of thef johnson's victory and what it may meangue recently during trump's visit, wouldn't even take public visits with him, was seen among a group of foreign leaders literally laughing at the president. donald trump remained for him a scourge in britain just as he does for about half the country here in the united states. so i think we ought to be cautious how much we sort of compare the two of these and use this as a prelude to what would happen in november. another thing that i would point out is, here in the united states we know in 2016, 4 million fewer people voted in the presidential elections. if a democrat is going to win, and i sure as heck hope we do, we'll have to do a very, very persuasive job at not only getting those voters back into the fold, but ensuring we can pull our base together. other common threat remains the same, regardless of what camp you are in, and that is defeating donald trump. we can't have the a same manage taye that we saw in great brita britain, where you had the opposition split so widely, that
