he was one of ed miliband's team. you'll oh yes, a moderate voice.concern that without him there... there where people in the labour party that wanted to oust him. they we re party that wanted to oust him. they were calls seem to go. you limit so many mps have resigned from all parties who said they are fed up of divisive politics. he has not said thatis divisive politics. he has not said that is the reason he is going but given that there was an element of the left of the labour party who were, —— tried to get rid of him... i have been so captured by narrow interest groups that they are going to be even less electable than the polls suggest. he hasn't been very specific about why he's leaving but he has been clear in saying he will continue to support the labour party and continue to help them in the campaign to get into government. lot of the mps leaving will continue to do public service and that is a good thing. the things that we believe in, that is a good thing because there has been a lot of talent from all parties which is lost and a lot of p

in 2015 in the question time sessions i remember ed miliband was wrong—footed by someone asking abouts and that got a very negative reaction on the night. and to some extent it will be those kind of moments that people look out for. what does it say about the character and fitness to be prime minister especially since both have been criticised not just by other parties but some people inside their own parties as well. and of course we do not yet know what question the public will ask. but they venture into boris johnson's personal life for example, and pick at labour and their vulnerabilities and how would jeremy corbyn handled anti—semitism. or just more about brexit and the economy and public services. look forward to speaking to you throughout this evening. and just a reminder that we will be bringing you coverage of the debate on the bbc news channel. i will be back in about an hour bbc news channel. i will be back in aboutan hourorso bbc news channel. i will be back in about an hour or so to catch the start of proceedings and then again just before nine o'clock. and we will bring

i was actually at the same primary school as ed miliband, i'm proud to say, and david miliband.he same resources as private schools? i want all our schools to be superb and i want every kid, every young person to have the same opportunities and i believe passionately in that. what gets me going and what i want to achieve if i'm lucky enough to be re—elected in december, what i want to achieve is a fantastic programme to achieve is a fantastic programme to unite and level of the country. spending on education across the country will give everybody the chance to express their talents and we are starting... while collecting some of the real term cuts that governments have made. and if your children have been to state school, asi children have been to state school, as i understand it. sorry, i don't comment about my children. do you have any children currently school age? i'm not going to comment on my children if that's right. ok, let me put it in a theoretical way, if you don't want to tell us about your children, and a lot of people have been asking to ask how many children the p

campaign are poised and ready to try and push this narrative and in a manner that they did with the milibandond, thatjeremy corbyn will offer another referendum in which then there will be another referendum on the eu and on the uk itself. two toxic referendums is the mantra they like to drum. and that is why as soon asjeremy corbyn suggested he may be willing to offer the scottish parliament referendum, the scottish parliament referendum, the tories claim that that is a definite thing and when would he like to hold it? it could be the price that he is forced to pay for a hung parliament. and then the hopes of nigel farage and chrisjohnson are confounded because everything is up are confounded because everything is up in the air again. the daily mail here, the papers saying it is still not enough. to secure a majority. they have been vocal on this because they ran a standdown nigel frontpage they ran a standdown nigel frontpage the other day and clearly it will be fascinating how the brexit party feel about this. you know, effectively they are under pressure to stand down even more candidate

you're honest and jeremy corbyn has been in bentley and has been with people this afternoon, ed miliband have been affected by the flooding, the people from the south just want some help and we have been speaking with loads of people who've had to leave their homes with absolutely nothing and whether it be by local or national government, the feel absolutely let down at the moment. the hardestjob in this election is a crunch throw the numbers, tom, you've been looking at all the stuff you've heard from the parties today but labour in the environment agency, what if you find out about what are they saying and secondly, what is it that you have been able to drill down to prove? quite a few spreadsheets and this one. strap yourself in. labour is saying that there is been a 20% cut in the environment agency and this is the public body which deals with wildlife, natural disasters including flooding. i am struggling a little bit to find these numbers so i went to labour —— labour to aske them where exactly they got from and they are pointing towards unearthed, which is a journalism project run

ed miliband, in one of these seats, it's probably not completely accurate when it comes to his votingd nine times for the departure deal, nine times for a deal to leave the eu. if you look a bit closer, he did vote for things but i think it depends on what you're definition on voting for a departure deal. if you look at his voting record, he voted for the proposal and indicative votes. it means we would be less likely to do deals with third countries more freely. he also looked at being in the single market which is a continuation of freedom of movement, which is something lots of movement, which is something lots of brexit supporters mean. what he did not vote for was theresa may's brexit deal which he tried to pass in the meaningful vote and also didn't vote for boris johnson's brexit deal presented to the house or depends what you think brexit is but if you were just looking at what got the uk out on time at these various points, if you say by halloween, voting for that. his indicated how does that feel to voters, is that accurate? this speaks ina voters, is that accurate? this spe

he worked for ed miliband, saying that whilst those numbers sound modest, the conservative ones relativeld amount to the biggest increase in the size of the state, 1.1% of stocks and shares, under any tory prime minister since harold macmillan. so, in terms ofjust that conversation about austerity and the end of austerity, money going into public services that was taken out of them under previous conservative administration or the coalition. that is right. and i think we were talking about this last week, weren't we? that's one of the things that this election is injunction about, it is the end of the common sort of, pull— back the squeeze on the state, the retrenchment, the kind of post—crash, you know, if you think about it in really big historical blocks, enormous crash, government shovels in loads and loads of money to avert disaster. next government spends years and years trying to pull back that money. we are now the start of the next phase, where whoever wins is going to start reversing that retrenchment. you know, the pendulum is swinging the other way. it'sjust is the pendulum g

pam and i tried ringing through to the environment agency and the local council, ed miliband came yesterday't work. that is the frustration that we have with the council at this moment in time. nobody is giving us an applet, we need to know why this happened, and why it has happened so quickly. somebody needs to answer our questions and give us some answers as to how we are going to get some emergency rescue teams in here to start with the aftermath of the event. and that is in the short term, and then a long—term it will ta ke term, and then a long—term it will take months potentially, i suppose, and thousands of pounds to get everything back to normal? absolutely. the businesses and the houses that have been effective, as you said, travel lodge, the damage done will be taking months to sort out. there will be lost, it is just devastating. we have been housing three local families whose health has been devastated. we have been with them, we have been keeping them dry. it will take months and months and thousands and thousands of pounds. we just need answers to to get these people some help

a return to david cameron‘s messaging in 2015, if you vote for nigel farage, you will get an ed milibandour. it is something of a return to that strategy. the brexit party vote may play out in a different way in different areas. there is a debate that is ongoing that while the brexit party in the said men are taking votes away from the conservatives, but perhaps and few seats any more northern industrial parts of england maybe it is taking a little bit more support from labour than the conservatives. that debate does not result, it is ongoing and we‘re looking at all data, but the one thing that is clear thatjohnson and his team will have to take this very, very seriously indeed. and where will nigel farage south stand? do not know that yet stop this is a million—dollar question, it will be had eight —— has it attempt to win a seatin had eight —— has it attempt to win a seat in the house of commons. he will probably have his eyes only seatin will probably have his eyes only seat in essex, a working—class, marginal seat in order to take advantage of the labour conservative split. you may

director for the snp, whojoins me from glasgow, and ayesha hazarika, a former labour adviser for ed milibandone‘s to lose? i think for the leaders of the big two, labour and the conservatives, they will play pretty defensively. borisjohnson has most to lose because he is leading in the polls and his big challenge will be for him to look like he is in touch and has empathy with the audience. jeremy corbyn will be trying to have a breakthrough moment. he really needs that this week after his ma nifesto, needs that this week after his manifesto, but i think the fireworks may well come from the smaller parties, the snp and jo swinson. remember they really haven‘t had their moment in the spotlight yet, but their appearances won‘t be without peril either. there will be a lot of questions about scottish independence for nicola sturgeon and jo swinson as well may get some tricky questions about her time in the coalition and issues like austerity, for example. yes, kevin pringle, would you go along with a lot of that? what are you particularly looking out for tonight? i think what nicola sturgeon wan

back in 2015 nicola sturgeon said to ed miliband, i'm not saying that you're different from the conservatives getjust people's consciousness and perhaps get just below the people's consciousness and perhaps getjust below the surface. i think both men will be working on that and in terms of demeanour what labour are hoping is that borisjohnson will become overbearing, blustering, may be also lacking detail and looking evasive or being patronising towards jeremy corbyn. looking evasive or being patronising towardsjeremy corbyn. they looking evasive or being patronising towards jeremy corbyn. they will help thatjeremy corbyn will cycle up, zen —like, looking much more of statesman. but the conservatives are hoping thatjeremy corbyn will be all over the place on key issues, and they will be pushing if they can of course, it is led by audience questions, pushing on whether he would vote to leave or remain in a subsequent referendum and whether immigration would go down or up under a labour government. not just trying to get answer to the questions but trying to show that jeremy corbyn perhaps is n

she was in the top team of the then leader ed miliband and held two senior positions underjeremy corbyner constituents voted leave — and she was one of 19 labour mps who voted in principle for for borisjohnson's brexit agreement bill recently. i should say borisjohnson is back at no ten. why are you standing down? ten years is quite a long time to do down? ten years is quite a long time todoa down? ten years is quite a long time to do a job of this intensity. because it is a job that requires, it is an honour and you have to know you can give it 100%. i still can, but i'm not sure i could keep up this level of energy and stress for another five years. i thought the honourable thing to do was to stand down while i still have the energy. is it stressful? it is. it is stressful in a different way. 0bviously, i've not been going down the pit. but it is stressful in the sense that you get pulled in a number of different directions, that your weekends, you're not necessarily your own, your evenings. just seeing your friends and your family, being a good daughter, you should be able to be a go

mean is that if you go back to be debates when david cameron was the reader and we had him and ed milibanddavid cameron, he is the master of the throwaway line in many people‘s eyes. master of the throwaway line in many people's eyes. i suspect that his advisers will be telling him to play it down and be more authoritative. people need to know that you are not just a joker. as endearing as it can be on the election trail, in this context it is more formal and he needs to be more scrutinising of jeremy corbyn and questioning what he says. back to kezia, there is a slightly different position year as the conservative party are well ahead in the polls. doesjeremy corbyn need to take more risks in this debate tonight to try and get motor is energised around his campaign? i am not sure voters will see it that way. he will want to talk about new policies that he is most proud of. you will talk about stopping austerity and you will want to talk about british broadband. in the news today that they are trailing what they might do around student debt and tuition fees. i think we will hear a lot abou

but i will eat my words, and at the minute the promises have been made previously, ed miliband came andat is what did not happen at the weekend which led to, well, you can see behind me. a good time for you to come in, tim, if the rain is starting thank you very much. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. westlife coming on the sofa. he's been listening to them all morning. hello. some heavy and persistent rainfor hello. some heavy and persistent rain for parts of england and wales today. an area of low pressure and corresponding weather front bringing some heavy rain, persistent rain, also falling as sleet and snow over high ground at times. it's tending to pivot as we move through the day, parts of the midlands seeing some heavy and persistent rain through the day, gradually working its way south, further west, pushing gradually north and east. heavy and persistent at times, working into areas that have a course recently seen flooding. behind that we are seeing something brighter coming through, the potential for sharp, possibly thundery showers, some sunny spell

more politics this afternoon because jeremy corbyn and local mp ed miliband have just been walking aroundrnment response. “— to try and coordinate government response. —— has been cheering. we understand the government was planning to do that beforejeremy corbyn called them to take more of a personal grip on the issue. it is clear borisjohnson will personal grip on the issue. it is clear boris johnson will want personal grip on the issue. it is clear borisjohnson will want to be seen to be taking a close grip the issue. we had seenjeremy corbyn calling the government response will fill, we have had the liberal democrats criticising the response saying it should not be left to local communities to pick up the pieces and they have announced a £5 billion flood defence fund. it will be interesting to see what the government come up with having been put under pressure by the opposition parties. looking at it in the wider context, boris johnson parties. looking at it in the wider context, borisjohnson will want parties. looking at it in the wider context, boris johnson will want to avoid the pr

we have the headstone in 2015, ed miliband with promises carved on a big stone. sometimes it can come down to a small group of people. sometimes even a bit of a bunker mentality reinforcing the views that are inside. it is always good to get those tested externally. those focus groups. when the rubber hits the road and the public get a look at some of the policies, that is the kind of testing that needs to happen. sometimes that doesn't happen. sometimes that doesn't happen because a very small group of people have been involved because of the rush in getting the manifesto done. i think this time all parties have had a bit more time to think about exactly what they want to do. we have seen, obviously, a couple of years of the labour party and the jeremy corbyn heading in a direction where they have, which has led into the crystallisation of this manifesto around huge ways of nationalisation and their approach to the economy. i think you have also seen quite clearly from boris johnson as prime minister, from the la st johnson as prime minister, from the last queen
