let's get reaction now from former conservative mp miriam cates. , your reaction to the scenes currently playing out in southport? >> it looks extremely concerning. i mean, i don't know what the direct cause is yet. i don't think that's been established. i've seen rumours on twitter, but i haven't seen anything concrete. but clearly there's a very febrile atmosphere in the country at the moment. these are not the first riots we've seen just in the last few weeks. we've had, rochdale, harehills and of course since last october we've had weekly protests on the streets of london. and it's a very concerning time. and a lot of these riots seem to have different causes, but deep down, there are clearly some cultural tensions that have have come upon this country. and it's very concerning indeed. >> is this a crisis for britain's multicultural society? i'm not talking specifically about what happened in southport yesterday, because we don't have the details or the anger today, but there is general anger within our communities around tensions regarding para

miriam cates mp and danny kruger mp.the deputy leader of the labour party. angela rayner, thank you for being with us. there can be a tendency to spend a lot of your time with people who are... think a similar way, whose assessment and interpretation of politics is driven by the events that are happening inside westminster, or what people in westminster are talking about and that can feel kind of huge. but sometimes the way that's being perceived from the outside isn't the way it always looks from the inside. so i think it's completely crucial that journalists spend time away from westminster. i'm ed thomas, i'm the bbc�*s uk editor. i'm based outside of london, in salford. my brief is to get into communities and speak to people the bbc doesn't always really get hold of, and that's what we've done this election. so, we went to middlesbrough, which is covered by cleveland police. we also went to peterborough, which has been transformed by immigration, and we went to grimsby, a town which has really been hit by the cost—of

we've got a tweet, neil hamilton from miriam cates. okay, so if we could get that one up.eeted this out earlier in the week. she said of course politicians don't have to be parents, but having children does give you a different perspective on the future. raising kids makes you less tolerant of liberal individualism and more keen on maintaining boundaries that protect children. parents voices are important . is she right, are important. is she right, neil? >> well, i think she's got a point, doesn't it? when you look through recent history at our political leaders who haven't had children, who are the great successes edward heath, michael foot , theresa may, i successes edward heath, michael foot, theresa may, i mean, it's a fine galere , isn't it? i mean, a fine galere, isn't it? i mean, cats hang on, hang on. >> may i interrupt? talking of johnson, who's boris? who's got 7 or 8 children? wasn't exactly a fine example either of an outstanding prime minister. >> well, maybe those political leaders outsourced that to boris, and he's to happy oblige. >> but can i can i just >
