if he does make it to numberten, leaders of special.is true. although if there's a place in exeter that could be harder. i digress. should we have a brief look ahead and basically more manifestos. we will have the conservatives coming up in the next few days was at the scottish national party to keep an ion. the bexar party say they will publish a contract with they will publish a contract with the people of britain. keeping an eye out for that. -- depressive party. and on this site on friday we find out what the european commission want to do next about not being givena commission want to do next about not being given a uk commissioner name. and also next week we will find out whether she starts her new commission. and the question time leader specials with fiona bruce in sheffield. nicola sturgeon, jo swinson, jamie corbyn, boris johnson and the public asking the questions was a friday night is the place to be for portable debate and we have decided to schedule that against... goodbye you guys, see you soon. by. hello again. our weath

jeremy corbyn backin dem, you risk putting jeremy corbyn back in number ten downing street —— in numbertenst. she has we are going to spyjeremy corbyn, we are going to spyjeremy corbyn, we are going to spyjeremy corbyn, we are going —— we are not going to supportjeremy corbyn, it will be interesting to see if there is another hung parliament. and if, as she is saying in this interview with the ft, her preferred option is to have another 2020 election, well, is the public going to be grateful for the public going to be grateful for the party who made it possible to have yet another general election in 2020? you wonder. it is interesting, isn't it, it is almost as if she was slightly prodded into saying that she would prefer to have another election than a pact? i think she was burst into it by canny questioning. but the point is if you wa nt questioning. but the point is if you want to have a line —— pushed, saying we will not support jeremy corbyn going into it, she has said repeatedly know that jeremy corbyn or borisjohnson is repeatedly know that jeremy corbyn or boris johnson is fit to

i have heard quite a few people say that if borisjohnson is a pin numberten, people say that if borisjohnsonten, jeremy corbyn will have one to some extent and it will not be a mass nationalization or that heavy tax that he is suggesting that heavy tax that he is suggesting that a policy like this is designed to try to suggest that boris johnson is not a party of big business and even basic out borisjohnson is not a party of big business and even basic out boris johnson was talking a lot of sense on corporation tax cuts recognising sometimes when you cut certain taxes, you increase revenue but that isa taxes, you increase revenue but that is a tough sell and not intuitive and you have to make the case for it. and i suspect he is getting nervous here and it is a shame because i think it is a stealth tax on workers and consumers and not fit for the 215t century. on workers and consumers and not fit for the 21st century. like you that? they are not the faithless institutions... they are not faceless. they are made of people and if money is not going back into salaries or invested because it is

candidates they were offered on their shortlist, local candidates who were pushed out, a numberof numbertenten aides who have been able to get seats. and what we get from the sunday telegraph is an interview with borisjohnson, he says, they all signed up pledge that they will back my brexit deal in the commons. what he is saying is they won't be any more rebellions by tories because they are all signed up tories because they are all signed up to his policy. i do think that, you know, the idea that they are all going to go in like sort of good little boys and girls... lemmings? oreven lemmings, to little boys and girls... lemmings? or even lemmings, to support the prime minister as if they had no minds of theirown, prime minister as if they had no minds of their own, it makes a pretty grim election. if that's the choice you've got, to vote for somebody who just wants —— who just will do what borisjohnson wants you to do. they are still at their highest level since 2017. the polls at the moment... and interestingly, according to the telegraph, proxy support has dropped to its lowest level at

they want to make them feel nervous about the economy ofjeremy corbyn got into numberten. but if you are a co re into number ten. but if you are a core labour voter, i think that is going to be a big motivator for some of their punters. nationalisation, labour, even when i worked for them, elements that were hot on nationalisation, they was misunderstood the difference between the punters saying i want the row network to change, it's too expensive at network to change, it's too expensive et cetera, and a leap it takes to say i want to put jeremy corbyn in charge of it. that's the second question, do you just them to run it? i think the bowling with james and! run it? i think the bowling with james and i imagine the polling does. so on the additional problem, andi does. so on the additional problem, and i think that is where jeremy corbyn is really strong, when he talks about inequality, that's when he gets people onboard. when he then says the state is going to take over this stuff, they go over... and it's ha rd this stuff, they go over... and it's hard for them. 2017 def

it is very notable that tom watson doesn't say he wishes to see jeremy corbyn in numberten.jeremy corbyn in number ten. i do think tom watson has in recent years become somewhat ofa has in recent years become somewhat of a tainted political figure. he was heavily embroiled in the fake vip scandal where he piled pressure on detectives and never showed any humility afterwards when it was found out he was completely on the wrong side of the argument and there was a sense this was always going to dog him. in the political dynamics are interesting here. the tories we re are interesting here. the tories were looking to go after tom watson's seipt, a slight majority in a heavy brexit part of the country, he was not liked by leadership, and they thought they could get it. now they thought they could get it. now the seat is up for grabs. there is the seat is up for grabs. there is the famous political expression, do not interrupt your opponents while they are making a mistake. the tories have had a very rocky 24 hours and they will be jumping for ivy hours and they will be jumping fo

borisjohnson or jeremy corbyn from getting the keys to number ten jeremy corbyn from getting the keys to numbertenrliament. as far as borisjohnson is concerned, we had a big promise from him today on cutting national insurance contributions for workers in the future. that's the kind of thing the tories will be shouting from the rooftops in the next few weeks. the labour manifesto launch is tomorrow and it feels after may bea is tomorrow and it feels after may be a stuttering week last week, we are getting into the big decisive daysin are getting into the big decisive days in this campaign. laura, thank you. there is are that election news. let's have a look. the snp leader said today it illustrates why scotland needs to be in charge of its own future. the electoral commission is urging parties to campaign responsibly, after twitter accused the conservatives of misleading the public. it comes after a tory party press office account on social media was rebranded during last night's election debate as a fact checking service. millions of people are going without dental care in england, according to b

on december the 13th when jeremy turns up on his bike and walks down to downing street to numberten,, it will be giving so many people so much hope and we are going to transform people's lives. applause there might be something wrong with me but i really enjoy election campaigns even if it is december. i just wish sajid javid would enjoy it as well and come and talk to me every now and then. i want to thank jeremy, just for showing us in his speech what sort of prime minister he will be and i think the type of prime minister desperately needs. he isa prime minister desperately needs. he is a prime minister who will, i think, knows and understands the communities across all our country but also someone who will stand up for them. but also someone who will stand up forthem. i but also someone who will stand up for them. i think he will be a principled prime minister, always giving expression to the values we can all live up to. care, solidarity, socialjustice, these are embodied byjeremy corbyn and i think will embody that vision as it goes into number ten. but also, as he mentioned ea

they will be focusing on what will impact on them after the next election, who goes into numberten onmber ten on friday the the 13th of december. jeremy corbyn or boris johnson, they will focus on that, not on what other world leaders are saying. thank you for your thoughts, nigel evans. the brexit party campaign launch will be happening in the next couple of hours, when we will find out more about their strategy in the weeks ahead, which could have an impact on the fortunes of not just their could have an impact on the fortunes of notjust their party but particularly the conservatives and labour across the uk when the vote happens on december the 12th. jonathan, thank you very much for that. it‘s just under six weeks until the general election and if you‘re unsure how to register to vote, you can find out how by visiting our website at bbc.co.uk/news or on the bbc news app. the rugby world cup final between england and south africa is almost upon us. england fans are hoping that their team can lift the trophy once again — for the first time since 2003. my colleaguejohn maguire is in

what actually goes on in this discussion between the strategists in numberten?e strategists in number ten? are they trying to work out whether his were damaging not to do the interview than actually do the interview and answer some of these difficult questions coachella i think there is an element to something entirely unexpected. went back in the day, us presidents lost the campaign not because of something they said but because of a movement of their hands or a way that they approached the opposing candidate. of course, yes, in these televised interviews, it's not even a lwa ys televised interviews, it's not even always about what you say, it's how you say it or what you don't say that gets you. of course you can prepare but there's only so much that you can prepare. 0f prepare but there's only so much that you can prepare. of course, i guess they are asking what is to be gained from doing this interview with two weeks ago when the pulling lesson i chose the conservative party is in the lead? the trouble is, though, the way that these tv debates are set up at
