our political editor, nick watt, is in birmingham. let us start with the tories. what she set out to do, nick? yes, that's right. here i am in birmingham where the conservative party have ventured into labour heartlands by capturing that west midlands mayoralty. if you take that result and combine it with the results across great britain the conservative party is healing for a decisive victory in next mornt‘s general election. decisive victory in next month's general election. they are moving back into parts of great britain where they really haven't had much of an impact for the last 25 years. and, the conservatives have an 11 point lead in the projected national share. that is higher than margaret thatcher had this time in 1983 and 1987 and that was fold in both those cases by landslide general election victories. conservative ministers they are saying — there is no complacency you can always make a mistake in the next five weeks. i spoke to a cabinet minister this afternoon who said to me — interestingly, theresa may's gamble on that early election was the righ

everybody on stage had their highlights, nick watt is at the venue. nick, how did it go?ecision to turn up at this debate put the spotlight on theresa may, who was a notable absentee. and there were plenty ofjokes about how the prime minister called this election the most important in her lifetime and she could not be bothered to turn up. to which the conservative party says, thank you very much to those six parties, you are illustrating one of our key themes about this election, which is that ifjeremy corbyn emerges as the leader of the largest party onjune 9th, the uk will be governed by a coalition of chaos. what would i say about the overall verdict? there was no clear winner and there was no clear loser. jeremy corbyn did as he did in the channel a debate on sunday, he spoke from the heart on matters dear to him, food banks for example. amber rudd did what she did last year in the referendum debate, had some pre—packaged sound bites, one on the monopoly board that didn't quite work. but she stood up well against the six other parties

let's start with our political editor nick watt, who is in salford where there has been an itv leadersnick, what do you think we learned today? that's right, the itv leaders debate although sadly not with the two plausible candidates for prime minister. but we saw plenty of theresa may at the launch of the tory manifesto in halifax and it was interesting there because what you said earlier was that she made clear that she does not feel beholden to any of her predecessors. so she jumped some key elements of david cameron ‘s manifesto from 2015. out went the tax lock so there's no pledge on rates of income tax and national insurance and in came a commitment that means that people will have to pay the cost of domiciliary home care. this is what one senior tory told me. theresa may's brand in focus groups is so resilient that it can withstand some radical moves that would have been suicidal two years ago. while you get your earpiece in, nick, one of the rationales for this election was brexit and making sure that she had a majority, in her view, to get through brexit. reading that manifest

nick watt looks at what is next for theresa may.ew short weeks ago, theresa may was banking on a blue surge sweeping her back into downing street with an emphatic mandate. it turns out that a few weeks is now an eternity in british politics. with just eight days to go, our strong and stable prime minister is stumbling towards the finishing line. elections rarely work out as they're meant to work out. it looked like this was going to be a very boring campaign, and it hasn't turned out that way. i think, in lots of ways, what the conservatives have because actually i think they're looking at this huge problem of care, which is growing because — luckily, i'm growing older myself — we're all living longer, and it's a problem that has to be addressed sometime. but to do that kind of in the middle of an election campaign isn't always the best timing. and that's made it a much more interesting campaign. the new pressure on the prime minister followed an estimate by the pollsters yougov that theresa may could lose 20 seats. tory high comman

i have seen worse on dragons‘ den. 0ur political editor nick watt is here. it was excruciating.ssing worthy adjectives thrown around today and that was the labour side. you know things are going badly when your fellow frontbenchers, in this case on the labour side, arejoking with conservative ministers on the other side about how badly you have done. privately, diane abbott is telling friends it was a car crash into privately, diane abbott is telling friends it was a car crash interview. 0ne friend said it is a bit like a moment when you wake up and you think, was it really that bad? and the answer is yes, it was. these accidents happen and it is not the first time nick ferrari has put someone in that situation, natalie bennett in the last election of the green party. what does it tell us? the danger is this. it makes labour looks dysfunctional and it plays into the conservative narrative that you have certainty with them and chaos under a future labour government. interestingly it shows there are poor relations between two of the leading members of the shadow cabinet who are ol

and with our own political editor, nick watt.to be clear, jack, what you have there is a print out. it's not a typeset, formalised version? i'm afraid not. no cover, no glossy feel. it is a dodgy, leaked document. but it does have their draft measures. give us some of the eye—catching ones. there's a lot in there. as you mention, there is the plan to bring a big part of the energy industry back into public ownership. there is a huge investment plans for the nhs, £6 billion extra a year, which will be funded with new taxes on people earning more than £80,000 a year. there's council houses to be built every year, tuition fees abolished entirely... we kind of knew that anyway. and then the creation of new whitehall departments, a ministry of labour, a department for housing, because labour seat workers‘ rights and housing as central. lots and lots on workers‘ rights. the telegraph have written it up tonight. you take a slightly different spin than the daily mirror. they are saying it is 1983 all over again. the moderates in the labo

our political editor nick watt is with us now. a big moment. it was.ying to identify about how theresa may may take to fashion one nation conservative to her vision about how the country should be run and workers‘ rights is that the hard and the reason for that is one of her insights from brexit was notjust about to leave the eu, it was a cry of anguish from people who feel left behind by globalisation. these pledges today are designed by her to show that she really means business about making globalisation work for those people who feel left behind. she needs a mandate on this to face down critics in her own party. she lost a battle in the cabinet in the autumn about getting workers sitting on company boards, one person said this did not work in germany. that idea, it comes back, although the language and wording about who will sit on the boards is not too clear. well we will see nick's take on one nation conservatism in a moment but first, to that interview with damien green, work and pensions secretary. i asked why the tories were looking for this m

nick watt is on college green in westminster for us and can talk us through what it will contain, nick said, tomorrowjeremy corbyn will directly address the manchester bombing as the general election campaign resumes. in remarks being interpreted in some quarters as drawing a link between recent uk military interventions and the bombing, the leader of the labour party will say that "many experts have pointed to the connections between wars our government has supported or fought in in other countries and terrorism here at home." it's important to bear in mind that mr corbyn also says his remarks "in no way reduce the guilt of those who attack our children." the reason he's saying this is because he's setting out how future labour government would embark on what he calls an informed, understanding of the causes of terrorism. at one of all these remarks are not a surprise. jeremy corbyn has opposed all recent military intervention by the uk. obviously the timing, just four days after the manchester attack is significant. the speech will come tomorrow. what kind of reaction will we expect

nick watt, our political editor, is here now.ot got the costings in what we know today, but did this satan more in a meeting about whether leagues came from? jeremy corbyn is furious with the leak and he has commissioned an independent commission to find out what happened and his allies believe the moderates, the people in the labour movement to tried and failed to dislodge him last year, that they were behind the leak. they regard this as a deeply hostile act to ensure that the manifesto was betrayed as it was on the front page of the daily telegraph today as a throwback to the 1970s. what these allies of corbyn are saying, they think the moderates want this to be seen as a new version of the 1983 manifesto, so that would ensure a heavy defeat for labour and they would be able to come after him again. one corbyn allies said they are utterly confident the manifesto is not like 1983 and it is a punter friendly. there are compromises but i was told if a socialist campaign group of labour mps have persuaded the ed miliband to do thi
