it shows our commitment to the nhs. but it is not the biggest ever funding increase for the nhs.dy work in the nhs? so you have brought in fact checking before. i was listening to radio four fact check that, and they said if you look at it in a net basis, look at the retention plus the increase, you get to 50,000. that was on bbc fact check yesterday in terms of, that is a reasonable point. but there is no guarantee you can persuade 19,000 nurses to stay in the nhs. indeed, and that will be the challenge, making sure we do get their attention. but if you have got more nurses alongside, then it takes the pressure off in terms of workload, plus we are also going to be giving everything on this investment bond for their training, so investment bond for their training, so it means there should be more work satisfaction and progression stop in terms of recruiting the new nurses coming through, we are making it easier to recruit from abroad in terms of these are entry, so there will be an nhs visa which will make it easierfor will be an nhs visa which will make it easier for those with

we can talk about general figures in the nhs... talk about general figures in the nhs. ..talk about general figures in the nhs... this means so much. talk about general figures in the nhs. .. this means so much. the young child gives it a cut through, so it is difficult. for this election, there is was the risk with a winter election that they will be hit by a winter crisis in the nhs, and it's something that the tory party have been braced for generally, and it's risky to have an election in this period for that reason, because the nhs is traditionally a weak spot for the tories. because it is so u nsta ble the tories. because it is so unstable in parliament, there was a lwa ys unstable in parliament, there was always the sense there would be an election sooner rather than later, andi election sooner rather than later, and i think they thought was a lower chance of a crisis story before christmas than after. you are starting to see again the tories wa nt to starting to see again the tories want to have a quiet three days until polling day and i think lots of people are be

then, the nhs is upfor you still claiming, then, the nhs is up for sale?m to show any such thing? well, read the documents that were discussed in secret and the government refused to release them, between themselves and the us administration, about access to public services and the extension of the life of patents on medicines which would increase medicine costs in this country. president trump has said many times, people pay too little for us medicines around the world. that is the kind of agenda the prime minister wants to get involved with, that's the kind of deal they're trying to make with the usa. boris johnson, he says you want to sell the nhs? this is pure bermuda triangle stuff, we have heard it time and time again from the labour party during this election campaign. we will be hearing about little green men. i believe very passionately in... i use the nhs, i love it, it is one of the most incredible things about this country, it is admired around the world, the central idea that if any of us get sick, all of us take ca re of any of us get sick, a

nhs culture.elsh government has lost1 billion in funding from the uk government, welsh government has put more money proportionally than england into the nhs in order to try to improve services. the issues had to be about investment in the nhs across the piece. in september, where labour has been in charge, waiting times at the worst on record. in 2010, there we re the worst on record. in 2010, there were just about 2 million people waiting for operations, there are now 4 million across the uk. the situation has got markedly worse, satisfaction ratings with the nhs in 2010 were around 90%, they are very much lower than that now. the differences the underfunding of the nhs for the past nine years during austerity. lets talk about your plans for funding and money, austerity. lets talk about your plans forfunding and money, on brea kfast plans forfunding and money, on breakfast shadow secretary jonathan as hworth told breakfast shadow secretary jonathan ashworth told us the four day week would not ap

his mother the nhs is in crisis.the families at all those who have terrible experiences in the nhs, but what we are doing is supporting the nhs, and on the whole i think patients in the nhs have a much better experience than this poor child has had. that is why we are making huge investments into the nhs and we can only do it if we get parliament going, unblock the current deadlock and move forward. i really thick it would be totally wrong for this country to spend another year in paralysis, and other year with no forward movement, add deadlock and division withjeremy corbyn and the labour party. jeremy corbyn and the labour party. jeremy corbyn and the labour party. jeremy corbyn and nicola sturgeon in coalition. sorry for taking your phone. let's take a look at the weather. for many, mundy has offered a brief respite from the wet and windy conditions. it is going to be short—lived. we have been either a transient ridge of high pressure which built it from the west, but look at what is waiting in the wings. it will

is the nhs about to be snapped up by the nhs about to be snapped up by the evil entrepreneurs in the united states ? the evil entrepreneurs in the united states? i think the answer to that question is almost certainly no, and it isa question is almost certainly no, and it is a very good line that corbyn has been running very successfully throughout the course of his campaign. is the proper evidence to show that it was on the table? no, it was raised by the americans and not responded to by the british, so i don't think it puts it on the table, but he has played it extremely well because he knows that this is his safest ground and he knows that it is the alberta party's list safe ground and he has kept it on the agenda throughout the campaign. and it has changed the headlines about him. this is the way labour has presented it was all about anti—semitism inside the labour party. by keeping this front and centre, he has managed to get poll ratings which have slowly been improving. yesterday, donald trump said we don't want the nhs even if it is ona said we don't want the nhs even if it

, focusing on protecting the nhs, focusing on protecting the nhs, focusing on ensuring the social securityches people. the election may be over but the debate goes on. boris johnson promised during the campaign that a majority government would get the country moving again. his challenge now is to make that happen, notjust challenge now is to make that happen, not just to challenge now is to make that happen, notjust to deliver brexit but to fulfil those other key campaign pledges too, not least those made to people in the north who voted tory for the first time. a day of tradition in westminster but with a new government comes change and much of what happens around here will feel very different. our health editor hugh pym is with me. what caught your eye? what did catch the eye was the legislation to underpin the extra cash for the nhs in england over the next five years which will raise the budget by 33.9 billion in cash terms in the year 2023 compared to now. that is quite an innovation. normally a spending commitment is made but doesn't require an act of parliament so why aren't the con

throughout the election campaign, iwould nhs.hroughout the election campaign, i would say labour's main attack on the nhs has been this idea that the us uk trade deal would lead to nhs privatisation and linking that with donald trump. for some people, that has definitely caused fear. i think there is evidence of that. to sum it hasjust felt a bit exaggerated. it also feels some way away. it feels a bit distance, whereas i think this story has wider cut through. —— a bit distant. it doesn't feel far—fetched and far away. if voters decide that the tories have been in government for quite a long time, and are not sufficiently funding the nhs, i think that is more problematic than what labour have been pushing more during this election campaign. so there is clear risk for the tories here. it'll be interesting to see how borisjohnson tries here. it'll be interesting to see how boris johnson tries to get back on the front foot. is it by addressing this and perhaps giving an interview with more emotional common sense than the one today

, so the formation of nhs digital, nhs...time soon, is it helpful to uk patients given that all our data, the oncologist we are dealing with, etc, they are all within the nhs? that is why anybody can download and start using mcreddie today, it is available on the app store. but if it is not engaged with your team come will it help you, do you see what i mean? definitely, your caregiver also has exorcist to your data so even this close community being used as a family —— has access to your data. so at home, i get an alert, so i can make sure my loved one is taking care of themselves in doing the things they are meant to do. i think the nhs will adopt this type of technology, it has to. do. i think the nhs will adopt this type of technology, it has tom do. i think the nhs will adopt this type of technology, it has to. it is early. tell us about your plans to go forward from here, you have received funding and what about the plans to go global with this? we definitely see this as a global opportunity. the nhs in the uk is our ho

they will make it on the threat to the nhs, make their minds up threat to the nhs, make their minds upailures of the criminal justice up based on the shocking failures of the criminaljustice system, and based on borisjohnson's personal integrity which has been seriously called into question over the last few weeks and their ducking of scrutiny on your own programme. that poll does suggest that the conservatives will squeeze a majority. although it could be a hung parliament, no party has an overall majority. that is still possible. what do you think has happened in the last few weeks which has reduced the conservatives lead over labour? well i think, having beenin over labour? well i think, having been in the previous parliament and seen the gridlock and paralysis that has taken place as a result of no party having an overall majority, it's been extraordinarily debilitating and an edifying and of course it's resulted in our inability to deliver brexit. this is wired so extremely important for a party to have a majority and i'm delighted the conservatives, according to the latest opinio

do you think the nhs will catch peoples i? the nhs is crucial to everybody.a aa billion into law so the nhs can feel comfortable and plan ahead. thank you very much indeed. maybe we will come back to you towards the end of this parliament to see how you found the whole experience. the yeomen of the guard conducted their ceremonial search earlier and, if they had half a point port, they are looking pretty well on it, so they are making their way elegantly and in distinguished dress and uniforms, their medieval tab odds, through the royal gallery and making their way down to the other end of their way down to the other end of the royal gallery, to provide a guard of honour ultimately for the queen, when she arrives for the procession. the captain of the yeomen of the guard is a political office. it is the government chief whip in the house of lords, just as the captain of the gentleman at arms, the ones with the white plumes, is also political, the deputy chief whip for the government in the house of lords. looking outside on the staircase, we will have a look

to buy the nhs, donald trump does not want to buy the nhs and even though he will be nervous at beingwe are buying drugs to treat people for whatever it is, if we can buy drugs in germany cheaper than we can buy them from the americans, that's great. but equally, if an american can sell us the same drug cheaper we might buy it there, we have to get value for money whatever we do. that is different. buying goods, bed sheets or whatever it is is entirely different to selling off the nhs, that will not happen. wahid in sheffield, hello, good morning. good morning. i want to ask nigel a question, we are struggling with a skills gap at the moment, how would you cope with an immigration gap of 50,000? wahid, i absolutely agree with you, we have a massive problem with you, we have a massive problem with the skills gap and a lot of people i used to train with when i had a properjob apart from politics, was an engineering, using metals and engineering and they said the same thing, we have to get foreign labour because we are simply not in this country training and people to be engineers and we

our nhs will not be put up for sale to anybody.up that line of argument, then tea m keep up that line of argument, then teamjohnson keep up that line of argument, then team johnson and point to the president has said, look, he has just ruled out the nhs being on the table. i suspect labour will keep up the pressure over president trump and the nhs, arguing that you cannot trust the president. and he has said different things before. although this morning, we got a new development in a way from jeremy corbyn when he appeared on itv‘s this morning programme and he was pressed over the issue of anti—semitism. you remember in that bruising interview with andrew neil, jeremy corbyn again and again, four times, refused to apologise for anti—semitism. this morning, under pressure, again, he did apologise. just say sorry. wait a minute. no, just say sorry. can ijust say something? i want you to say sorry. our party and me do not accept anti—semitism in any form. our party and me do not accept anti-semitism in any form. so are you sorry for

for his part, borisjohnson has repeatedly said the nhs will not be "up for sale".things. the scottish national party wants to introduce legislation to ensure access is restricted. here's its leader nicola sturgeon. i don't want the future of the nhs to be dependent on trusting the word of borisjohnson or donald trump. so let's have legislation that explicitly and in statute takes any risk of trade negotiations to the nhs away and make it clear that the nhs, notjust will not be on the table but could not be on the table in any trade negotiations. let's bring injessa let's bring in jessa jessica let's bring injessa jessica parker from westminister. people talking about donald trump, what else has been going on in the election campaign we should also pay attention to? on a lot of the focus has been on the following around donald trump lending in the uk last night. the potential impact on the general election because it is highly unusual to have an international summit taking place in the capital of london in the midst ofa the capital of london in the midst of a genera

nhs could form part of a trade deal.ing for donald trump. we wa nt this morning for donald trump. we want a good relationship with the usa but the trade talks undertaken by the government have been done in secret and we do not accept any idea of us companies coming in to run our national health service or the idea of extending dependence on medicine which would increase costs for the national health service. earlier this year the president said everything would be on the table but now...| everything would be on the table but now i don't even know where the rumour started, we have nothing to do with it and we wouldn't want to, if you handed it to us on a silver platter, we want nothing to do with it. boris johnson met military vetera ns it. boris johnson met military veterans in milford today. how are you doing? not too bad, thank you, bearing up. he said the nhs wouldn't form part of trade talks and attacked jeremy corbyn ‘s record on security and defence. there is a stark contrast between our approach which sees the val

away and makes absolutely clear that the nhs notjust nhs away and makes absolutely clear that the nhslways full of delicate and not dull moments when the us president comes to visit. well, it's not only uk politicians who find relations with donald trump somewhat awkward after president macron of france described the nato they met this afternoon, the two presidents behind me and it was all smiles for the camera. president macron had a few words to say about the "brain dead" comment and the effo rts the "brain dead" comment and the efforts to build unity in the alliance. translation: cooperation between our two countries, whether it's military, economic or diplomatic, is important, and sometimes, we don't agree. that happened on climate, but on the fight against terrorism, on key missions, our soldiers, our teams work side by side. worth noting, however, that even if the teams on the ground work side by side, the leadership comes from the top not always quite so obliging and president trump said president macron's comments that they were... nasty, disrespectful, dangerous. let's listen

mr trump promises to stay out of the election campaign but also denies the nhs will be on the table inuture trade talks. absolutely... i don't even know where that rumour started, we have absolutely nothing to do with it and we wouldn't want to. if you handed it to us on a silver platter, we want nothing to do with it. the president will attend a reception hosted by the queen later at buckingham palace, where protests are expected — tomorrow he joins world leaders to celebrate 70 years of nato. we'll be live at buckingham palace with the latest from there amid growing tensions among nato leaders. mr trump today denounced remarks about the alliance from the french president as dangerous, nasty and insulting. also this hour: five women who allege they were abused byjeffrey epstein urge prince andrew to testify in their cases. the boy killed in a hit—and—run has been named. 12—year—old harley watson was outside his essex school. climate activist greta thunberg sails into lisbon where climate talks are taking place, as scientists say the last ten years look like the warmest decade on recor

so now i don't understand why the nhs is up for debate, and saying there is a possibility that the nhsve you will reinjected, surely some of that france should be allocated to social care. absolutely spot on, that is exactly what boris johnson has promised and pledged to do. and if anything, the figure on the side of the bus now is dwarfed by the extra investment that absolutely needs to be made within the national health service. the nhs is not up for sale, it is one of the smoke screens that angela and her party have protrude throughout the last four or five weeks of this election campaign. i can give you every assurance that the money is going on, the extra nurses, extra doctors, to make absolutely certain, the extra gp appointments, that will be happening thanks to the money we are saving on brexit, plus more of course. john mcdonnell is doing a speech... cannot name it, sorry, i need a liver to respond to that because of the comment that nigel evans made. we have seen the doubling of the private sector, 10 billion going into the private sector from our nhs. that is money that coul

the nhs dominated the queen's speech. hello, good morning.ery, this doctor is facing increasing demand. the problems are really acute, there are a lot of winter pressures. shortage of gps, it means gps on the ground have to do more work. are you relieved, looking at the queen's speech today? i'm a positive person, so i'm trying to, you know, look at the bigger picture. there's immense pressure. the number of requests for elderly social care to wigan council rose from 5,300 to 7,520 in two years. that's around a 40% increase compared to the average increase in england of 4.5%. borisjohnson‘s pitch now is to help towns like leigh, towns that have gone from red to blue. do you believe it? unbelievable if he can do it. it'd be great, the town would love that. but it's whether or not that happens. i'm so glad that we've actually voted conservative for a change. for a change? but they've been in power for the past nine years. but not in leigh, they haven't. the story of leigh is being told in towns across the north of england, wales and the midland

last week we revealed the secret plot to sell out our nhs as pa rt secret plot to sell out our nhs asrom the united states and other places. as trade experts have since confirmed, the nhs is very much on the table in these talks. but the secret documents not only shredded the prime minister's credibility on the nhs, they undermined his credibility on brexit also. get brexit done, the tory slogan at the heart of the election campaign says, it is a fraud on the british people. while labour will get brexit sorted in six months, because we will not be ripping up the main trading relationship, johnson's deal will be just the beginning of years of more painful negotiations and broken promises. today i can revealfurther ha rd promises. today i can revealfurther hard evidence thatjohnson is deliberately misleading the people about this. i have here the document. northern ireland protocol u nfettered document. northern ireland protocol unfettered access to the uk internal market. what we have here is a confidential report byjohnson's own government marked official, sensitive. it exposes the fu

some of it -- commitment for nhs spending.ismiss it as a gimmick, because it will be up to the government of the day as to what they want to spend on the nhs, and perhaps the same goes for enshrining in law that the transition period can't be extended beyond the end of december 2020, but i think what borisjohnson is trying to do as pa rt borisjohnson is trying to do as part of this queen's speech is to send the message he is going to deliver on brexit and then try and move on to other domestic priorities. the test will be for those voters who backed him, as well as those who didn't, will they feel the benefit of extra money in things like the nhs? with the nhs pledge, enshrining it in law, and doing the same about the transition, i suppose thatis same about the transition, i suppose that is about trying to restore trust in the conservatives and politics in general to stop how big a problem is it for the government, which has this huge majority, that the opposition seems likely to spent a lot of the time consumed by its own pro

let us talk to the third paper and this is the nhs waiting times. patients covered up.the royal college of emergency medicine, one of the royal colleges that doctors are members. they are accusing nhs england of fiddling the figures because they need count the numberof figures because they need count the number of patients waiting over 12 hours, nhs england counts from the moment in which a decision is made to admit as the royal college wants what they do in the nhs in scotland and wales and northern ireland which is whenever you arrive at the hospital is when you started waiting so it is quite a significant difference in terms of how they are calculating it. what the royal coueges calculating it. what the royal colleges are saying is that this means that the figures for england are skewed. the nhs is one of those issues that should be much more prominent in this election that it isn't because of brexit because of issues around identity and issues around islamophobia and anti—semitism which have taken up a lot of the oxygen in this campaign. it is interesting this is on

well, jeremy corbyn promised a relentless focus on the nhs if the labour party wins power. i do not blame the nurses, i do not blame the doctors, ido nurses, i do not blame the doctors, i do not blame the health service, i blame the government that has underfunded our nhs. a shadow health secretary apologises after being secretly recorded criticising jeremy corbyn and saying there is no hope of winning the election. jonathan at as hworth says of winning the election. jonathan at ashworth says he was justjoshing around. in new zealand, six people are now confirmed dead after yesterday's volcanic eruption. among the injured are two british women. aung san suu kyi defence are country myanmar at the international court ofjustice over genocide of rohingya muslims. more alarming climate change news as scientists say greenland is losing eyes seven times faster than in the 1990s. and at 11:30 p.m., the papers, with lance price and madeleine grant. two days before the general election, borisjohnson two days before the general election, boris johnson and jeremy corbyn have spent the

nhs.ople and say that if we spray u ntold people and say that if we spray untold amounts of money around on the nhs, it will solve all the problems. you can't have scandinavian style public services with american levels of taxation, and that is why we have been honest and that is why we have been honest and say to people likejosie, we will all have to pay a little more to get the nhs we want. 1p on the poundin to get the nhs we want. 1p on the pound in income tax is a levy to fund the nhs. we are not saying, you can have all this wonderful stuff and not pay for it. you have told us what the penny on income tax is for — the what the penny on income tax is for - the nhs. what the penny on income tax is for — the nhs. simon asks: how will the lib dems fund 35 hours a week of free childcare for all 2—4—year—olds? we have committed, just to recap for the viewers, and we have the most extensive free childcare offer of the main parties, that will kick in when your child is at nine months if you a

it is a political issue, how we fund the nhs. that if there had been any sense in thejohnson that if there had been any sense in the johnson camp that they were heading to a fairly easy victory, yesterday will have been an almighty wa ke yesterday will have been an almighty wake up calland, yesterday will have been an almighty wake up call and, interestingly, today the message from the prime minister is around tactical voting and his fear that if there is a large degree of tactical voting, we could end up with another hung parliament, and he believes there is a realistic prospect ofjeremy corbyn becoming prime minister, and i think that gives you a sense of the degree of nervousness and unease within the tory camp that whatever the polls may say, events could change everything and this is very, very farfrom in change everything and this is very, very far from in the bag for boris johnson. norman smith, thank you very much. over the past few weeks in a series of special your questions answered programmes on 5 live and the bbc news

all that is i say, i'm not going to flog off the nhs, it will not be privatised, it's in my hands.on speech is that mag the queen's speech is that mag the queen's speech is that mag the queen's speech is action stations. things will now start to move. we have got quite a packed queen's speech with a long list of proposals, a lot of them geared to helping communities outside london but they are talking about a transformational structure programme which i guess means road and railand programme which i guess means road and rail and bridges programme which i guess means road and railand bridges in programme which i guess means road and rail and bridges in the north and rail and bridges in the north and midlands and there also talking about raising the spending on school pupils. again, outside london. there isa pupils. again, outside london. there is a long list of measures and that is a long list of measures and that is just is a long list of measures and that isjust designed is a long list of measures and that is just designed to say to people, after the inactivity and stasis of the p

but one of the big worries is this idea of the nhs perhaps being on the table ina of the nhs perhapstrump. where it's opened up to private competition for us drug companies push up the price of medicines. the snp have proposed and i would hope all parties would support this, we've proposed an nhs protection bill which explicitly stops the nhs being on the table in any trade discussions. and would also give the scottish parliament, the welsh assembly, the northern ireland assembly if and hopefully it will be up and running again soon, effectively the power of veto over trade deals if they were against our interests so we will put that forward after the election and i hope all parties, if the tories are serious and mean what they say when they deny the nhs would be on the table, thenl they deny the nhs would be on the table, then i don't see why they would not support it. thank you. sheila in edinburgh, good morning. good morning. my daughter was in hospital recently in edinburgh. the department seemed understaffed and the doctors and nurses stretched to capacity. what will you do to i

nhs is not for sale.w, money is going out of the service and into profit. and what we're looking at, if it were the extension of drug patents was a potential loss to the service of £27 billion. so these are huge sums that really would rip the guts out of the nhs. and when you come to talk about data and the negotiations that go on in trade thoughts about data and data privacy and data security and the transfer of data and where it is held, the americans are really pushing very ha rd to americans are really pushing very hard to get access to nhs data, because of course it is the oldest dataset on health in the world, and it is the most common transdev. so cani it is the most common transdev. so can i quickly than... we would lose that value. -- comprehensive dataset. he said he wouldn't want that even if it was on a silver platter. yes. why are you changing your line? you have said consistently that the nhs is being put up for sale. it's not a change at all. the nhs is as i say, it's not a at all. the nhs

he has pledged to spend a lot of money on the nhs but in terms of social care, thatis the nhs but ine, that is not part of the nhs and it was not a that is not part of the nhs and it was nota campaign that is not part of the nhs and it was not a campaign tag line to say borisjohnson did not present a plan for social care, it is true. he has said he will do it in the budget. cross— party said he will do it in the budget. cross—party are important. he did not want to put his plan before he could have cross—party talks which are so could have cross—party talks which are so important because otherwise social care becomes a political football in every single election. ina lot football in every single election. in a lot of areas, if he goes for this one nation toryism, will he still a few labour policies from their manifesto? listening to labour voters. adopting their views. we are heading towards the labour side of things. let's finish on the front page of the scottish mail on sunday. a love poem heading to scotland. page of the scottish mail on sunday. a love poem heading to scotlandlj a

thursday night to save the nhs.d poverty in britain, to end homelessness in britain and to build the houses that we need, thursday night to get a government you can trust that will represent people. labour are emphasising the nhs after a bumpy day for the prime minister yesterday after a four—year—old boy was pictured apparently asleep on a hospital floor was pictured apparently asleep on a hospitalfloor in was pictured apparently asleep on a hospital floor in leeds, was pictured apparently asleep on a hospitalfloor in leeds, because there was no bed for him. demand in there was no bed for him. demand in the nhs continues to grow. we have seen that since its foundation. the founding assumption of the nhs is with increasing provision demand would drop, but the opposite has been true. but what we have is a very targeted and structured programme that has been agreed with nhs england to invest in places like leeds. at this stage in the campaign with a couple of days to go, it is about the parties playing their greatest

labour's key messaging has been about the nhs.ng has been about the nhs. you saneremy corbyn there saying that it has shifted the way the parameter wouldn't want. over the next three days or so, we should expect him trying to get the message back on track. up until this point, this was a campaign where there hasn't been any real mistakes oi’ there hasn't been any real mistakes or gaffes. i think today this will feel to the prime minister and his tea m feel to the prime minister and his team like this is exactly what they didn't want to happen, particularly into the last crucial days of the campaign before people make their decision on thursday. good luck with the rest of the journey. alex forsyth on the battle bus. more on the row over the little boy, four—year—old jack on the hospital in leeds. let's get some more on all of this geraldine scott is the westminster correspondent for the yorkshire post and joins me from our bureau in leeds. this is turning into a very busy afternoon for you and your paper. what you think went wrong

demand in the nhs continues to grow. we have seen that since its foundation.ing assumption of the nhs was with increasing provision, demand would drop, but the opposite has been true. we have seen demand increase. but what we have is a very targeted and structured programme that has been agreed with nhs england to make important investments in places like leeds. at this stage in the campaign with a couple of days to go, it's about the parties playing their greatest hits. it's no time for obscure album tracks. enter the liberal democrats with their big pitch on brexit. we need to run the best, the biggest, the hardest operation we have ever run to get those liberal democrat votes out, knocking on tens of thousands of doors, in each and every one of our target seats, to make sure that we can stop boris johnson getting a majority and leading us to a crash—out brexit. the snp‘s big plan is scottish independence, of course, but in the short—term, their message is similar to the liberal dems'. if scotland votes snp, we can make sure we looked boris johnson out of go

that is why i want to concentrate on getting cash into the nhs now.rexit done can you move the country forward. to answer your question i do think that we have the best programme for the country, laura. yes or no, do you think you will be moving back into number ten? it is very, very tight. you must have a hunch. you have seen what the polls say. we all remember what happened in 2017. of course we are fighting now for every vote. his frantic travels to sell his brexit deal are the target for the other major parties. jo swinson! the lib dems have been trying to win you around, promising to do everything they can to stop him. their enthusiastic faces on the stump in the south—east don't hide how tough it has been. these final hours of the campaign can make a crucial difference to whether boris johnson will gain a majority or whether we have a real chance to stop brexit. there's everything to play for, in these final hours. others are trying that side of the argument, but this election isn'tjust about the shape of our relationship with the eu, but the un

i made my point is about the nhs, i made my point is about the nhs, i made my point is about the nhs, are they just a they do seriously erode support or are theyjust a 24—hour media hiatus that passes away and is forgotten. but, still, the tories are feeling the need to defend borisjohnson‘s conduct yesterday. he failed again and again to respond to questions about jack. this morning, and again to respond to questions aboutjack. this morning, the justice secretary said, well, it was just one of those things that happens in an election campaign. elections are really difficult things. things will happen in elections, unpredictable events. i don't think he was forced into it. when he looked at it, the reaction was clear and unforced and natural. the apology was forthcoming and full sun. i think, the apology was forthcoming and full sun. ithink, you know, that response and the response we have shown and the action the health secretary take showed we were taking this matter incredibly seriously, as we would with any matter relating to our national health service. we would with any matter r

that is why the nhs will beat such a big pa rt is why the nhs will beat such a big part of the queen'setary emily thornberry has defended the labour manifesto, despite the party facing the biggest defeat since 1935. ms thornberry says she is the best candidate to become the next labour leader because she comes "from the heart of the party" and says the labour manifesto is a "unifying document" but it overwhelmed the public. i don't fundamentally believe that the manifesto that we put forward was wrong, i can't look at anything in the manifesto and say, we shouldn't have had that. i think the criticism is that there was so much in it and we didn't really prioritise what it was that our main four or five things that we wanted to put before the public. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, will outline her case for a second referendum on scottish independence later this morning. the snp leader is also expected to call on the uk government to transfer powers to holyrood that would ensure any vote on leaving the union was legal. our correspondent lorna gordon is in edinburgh for us th
