but angela rayner isn't someone who holds back.n, calling him and his c olleagues " scum" today she repeated the insults. is that really the standard of political debate you want for this country? do you stand by your remarks? i think borisjohnson is a racist, misogynist and homophobic guy, and he needs to apologise for his comments he has made in the past. tories accused her of dragging politics into the gutter and said she should apologise. i will apologise when boris apologises for saying the comments he has made. i will retract that he is scum. so, what does her boss make of that? look, angela said those words. she takes a different approach to me. we have different approaches to how we get our messages across. it is not language that i would have used. you are a courteous man. do you think she should apologise? that is a matter for angela, andrew. but would he order her to say sorry? i wouldn't have used those words, and i will talk to angela about it later on. there have been tensions between sir keir starmer and his deputy b

angela rayner: mr. speaker, still no trade deals, and those were the words, and those were the words of their deputy prime minister in his book which he wrote alongside the foreign secretary, the home secretary and the business secretary. and his actions, mr. speaker, speak even louder than those words, because whatever they say, their political choices have made it harder for working families to get by. so can the deputy prime minister tell us how much his universal credit cut and national insurance will take from a worker on 18,000 pounds a year? say a shop worker or a travel agent. >> what i will say to the right honorable lady is that the -- was always meant to be temporary. we paved the way the nearly 12 million workers through this pandemic. we are coming out with rising jobs, rising wages. we would have done none of that if we'd have taken her advice, not come out with lockdowns, labour's got no plan. our plan is working. angela rayner: mr. speaker, lots of words for, i don't know. so let me help

they are obviously headline grabbing and i think angela rayner| grabbing and i think angela rayner knewand try to see if she would apologise. interesting to see andrew marr this morning and get sir keir starmer�*s reaction. he repeated at least three times, that he wouldn't have said it. i think if you want to be a party that shows you want to be a party that shows you want to be a party that shows you want to be government, plain speaking that angela rayner is known for its very important. answering questions directly is extremely important. insulting and imagining it wouldn't be widely reported. keir starmer must be very unhappy this has blown up so very much. it is clear it takes away from what he wants to focus on and he has got amended rules, but it is a party thatis amended rules, but it is a party that is trying to show, i think, at this annual conference, that it is ready for when an election will happen. since we know not on fixed term and is and is and we think we know that an election could happen in a year and a half or so. and if you want to be on a real ready footing, that

yes, of course, a lot of talk about in this from angela rayner l about in this from angela rayner abouteed to do to win over voters. there was a used number of seats they would need to win, notjust in urban areas of course and they will need some rural voters they wanted to win back some of the previous voters that labour had that turn to the conservative party in 2019. this is a really and there is a lot going on in the labour party this week and quite a lot of internal drama that i think is really frustrating people and angela rayner is thinking about this but they really want to be focusing on and what the conservative party is doing, whether it be on managing this current crisis of lorry drivers and supply chains, but also what is happening with inflation and universal credit. but there is lots of internal jostling about and potentially search your summer trying to move back to an electoral college way of voting for leaders as opposed to the one member, one vote will so this is going to be a difficult and difficult conference for the party coming up and notjust in terms of setting o

angela rayner has refused to apologise for describing conservatives as scum.se for controversial comments he made in the past. let's go to our political correspondent helen kat. tell us more. yeah, these were comments that angela rayner made as you said at a reception last night when she appeared to describe conservative ministers as a bunch of scum, homophobic, misogynistic. sir keir starmersaid homophobic, misogynistic. sir keir starmer said that it is not linwood that he would use and he would speak to angela rayner later but he said as to whether she should apologise it was a matter for her. here as to whether she should apologise it was a matterfor her. here is what she had to say. share it was a matter for her. here is what she had to say.— it was a matter for her. here is what she had to say. are the tory's scum? i what she had to say. are the tory's scum? ithink— what she had to say. are the tory's scum? i think boris _ what she had to say. are the tory's scum? i think boris johnson - what she had to say. are the tory's scum? i think boris johnson is -

but his deputy, angela rayner, distracting from his hopeful discipline. tories scum? i think that boris johnson is a racist, misogynist and homophobic guy, and he needs to apologize for his comments he's made in the past. not in the mood to say sorry for calling the tories "scum" at a late—night labour get together. i'll apologize when boris apologises for the comments he's made, i will retract that he is scum. as in classic conference style, the less guarded moments caused the stir. the tories rejected and condemned the remarks. her labour colleagues wouldn't repeat them. yet, what really matters for the long term was what happened in the hall. kier starmer�*s team wanted to overhaul the party's rules to make it harderfor members to get rid of mps and give more power to mps to choose the leader and to crackdown on anti—semitism. i think that's it. and that was it. these mundane—looking pieces of a4 paper tell the story of a significant political moment. kier starmer won. if anyone said to me in the last few days, is it worth it, kier? it is always worth

be back just we'll be backjust before three o'clock when we hear the deputy labour leader angela rayner spake. but first, its witness history. . hi, i'm larry madowo. thank you forjoining me here in washington, dc, for this very special edition of witness history. marking black history month here in the us, we will go back to some important moments in the past from the civil rights era to the present day. coming up, we will hear about the damning 19605 report that told the us it was fundamentally racist. we spend some time at the dance theatre of harlem and we hear from the daughter of an american gi who grew up in germany and has spent her life wrestling with her identity. but first, let's go back to one of the darkest days of the civil rights era. on the 15th of september 1963, the baptist church on 16th street in birmingham, alabama, was packed and ready for sunday service. then a bomb went off and four young girls were killed. sarah rudolph collins survived but her sister, addie mae, didn't. why would somebody put a bomb on our church and kill a little girl? all of them were angels.

a standing ovation there for the deputy leader of the labour party, angela rayner, formally kicking offl conference in brighton. and true to form, announcing that plan for a so—called fair pay agreement. our political correspondent is in brighton and she was listening to that speech and we can talk about it with her now. trying to make working life fairer for everyone, helen, is really the thrust of that policy idea? yes. thrust of that policy idea? yes, there was _ thrust of that policy idea? yes, there was quite _ thrust of that policy idea? yes, there was quite a _ thrust of that policy idea? yes, there was quite a lot _ thrust of that policy idea? yes, there was quite a lot of - thrust of that policy idea? 1913 there was quite a lot of different elements in there, wasn't there? so, he will talk about the fair pay agreement which is the flagship element of this green paper that angela rayner talked about. she is of course the shadow secretary for the future of work, not just the deputy leader, this is why it fills on her remit to do. she talked about the fair pay agreement, about how

we have policy today from the deputy leader, angela rayner, talking about worker's rights, somethingffering when the general election comes but that is only part of it and so keir starmer has written a very long essay setting out why he believes what he believes in, but we are yet to see the nuts and bolts of what policy offerings he may have for the electorate and my sense is that we will not get a huge amount of that when he speaks here on wednesday but we will perhaps get a few tidbits of the direction he wants to go in. i am also imagining that there will be am also imagining that there will be a lot of bashing of the government. well, there always is, absolutely. these gatherings at party conferences are a chance for labour to attack the tories on all fronts and vice versa, so you saw that in angela rayner�*s speech today, criticising the government for the wait has handles its response to the coronavirus pandemic, talking about promises that she made if labour were to win power to take steps to avoid contracts being awarded to people with links to the party that was in governme

at the labour party conference, the deputy leader angela rayner

he and his deputy leader, angela rayner, wanted to spend today talking about their plan to set minimumconditions for different sectors, starting with social care. it's about a fair day's pay for a fair day's work and about making sure that work does always pay, and there's a minimum floor, so the unscrupulous employers that are undercutting those that are trying to do the right thing are taken out of the market. but there has been rain on their announcements. the leader was forced to withdraw his plans to give mps and unions more say the members in future leadership contest after he failed to persuade unions to back them and a backlash from the left of the party. the labour leadership should get real. people out there want us addressing the real issues that they are facing in their lives. the threat that they now have to their well—being and the quality of their life. an alternative package of reforms was put to the party's ruling committee, the nec, this morning and passed. the left is still likely to see these as further attempts to de—corbynise the party, but allies of sir keir see

the | the sunday mirror and of course the labour conference kicked off today, kicked off by angela rayner, sir keir saying he will tax private schools to help poorer kids? i’m schools to help poorer kids? i'm sure nigel— schools to help poorer kids? i“n sure nigel will talk more about the mirror story given it is his paper. but unfortunately the labour party seems to have shot itself in both feet by creating a completely unnecessary internal row about how to elect a leader, keir starmer�*s bid to stop another left wing takeover, but of course it has created huge divisions, he has had to row back on it, there is already talk of angela rayner pitching for the leadership, she did very well in the leadership, she did very well in the house of commons earlier this week when she was standing in port said car because the prime minister was away, so it is the two deputies, but this is a headline that is pretty meaningless about taxing private schools. actually, there is a crisis about energy prices and job shortages that we have been talking about, there is a crisis looming for the 5 million fami

we heard angela rayner today, the deputy leader, talking about worker's rights, putting forward someoffice. it is in your opinion the party going far enough on those fronts? those ideas by angela rayner and also the shadow employment secretary were really good and they have been spending the summer trying to articulated a factor taken in this country that workers have very few rights, particularly compared to say german workers, they can be hired and fired in very precarious situations, their living standards have fallen over the last ten or 12 years, that is good that labour are talking about that. the problem is that now we have got to talk about it, the problem is that the headlines are dominated by the internal struggle that has eclipsed that. it is same with the new deal. ed miliband has some new policies about the climate emergency that would create good, skilled jobs in this country but we are not talking better because the labour party decided to focus on kick your own party rather than set out those plans. a lot of shadow ministers i have spoken to are furious, they are furi

the deputy leader angela rayner gave an crowd—pleasing speech about workers' rights.e things are not negotiable so labour in power will give all workers' rights from day one in theirjobs, sick pay, holiday pay, parental leave and protection against unfair dismissal. but most of the action took place not in the conference floor but behind closed doors. keir starmer has come out of a meeting where he has had to discuss his party reforms, he has had to drop some of his ideas but a significant number will still go ahead to the conference and that is sure to annoy the left wing. under plans in a future leadership contest candidates will need 20% of the members rather than 10%. this may sound procedure but it is highly political. it will have been placed in the last leadership election they will have only been one candidate. and in the previous contest, jeremy corbyn wouldn't have gotten on the ballot. that is why he told them not to support the reforms because it sends the wrong message to voters. if someone is about to lose yourjob because the fellows can have come to an

so angela rayner the deputy leader is up later, she's good to be setting out some flagship policies on pay agreement for starting with social care workers. the idea behind that she will say is that you would bring together employers and employees and they would agree binding levels of wages that would apply across the sector. so employers couldn't undercut those. she's also going to talk about a range of other measures that labour would look to introduce, this one the fair pay agreement they say would they would do within 100 one the fair pay agreement they say would they would do within100 days of forming a labour government. but there are other proposals that would want to put forward, for example banning the practice known as fire and rehire, zero—hour contracts and the right to switch off. as well as statutory sick pay. labour starts to set out its policy of softening. tomorrow marks the end of a political era in germany, as elections take place for a new leader to replace angela merkel as chancellor after 16 years. climate change has been a big issue during the campaign, with acti

vic rayner, many thanks.uk and the us, a clear message about how seriously they are taking security and stability in the indo pacific, and the positioning of australia as a key player in ensuring that their interest in the region are well protected. for the first time the us is sharing nuclear propulsion technologies with australia, among other things including cyber, quantum technologies, as well as artificial intelligence. the three leaders reiterated that these will not be nuclear armed submarines. they will be nuclear propelled, or powered submarines. in a separate press conference we heard from the australian prime minister scott morrison who said that the relatively benign environment that this region has enjoyed for decades is now behind us. he called this partnership a forever partnership, and said that these were game changing technologies, for game changing developments in the area. now, the optics of this announcement werejust as crucial as now, the optics of this announcement were just as crucial

let's speak now to their deputy leader angela rayner. good morning. lovely to speak to you.nues and then over the weekend the health secretary seemed to u—turn on that. this is chaotic for people who want certainty. we have always had in the labour party that it should be able to be proven that it should be able to be proven that tests show you do not have covid, because once you have been vaccinated you can still get covid. so we think the government have really messed up and been very confusing which i think adds to the problem. we want to see a good plan for the nhs, we know the nhs has suffered significantly. and the government's plans to national insurance hike and cut in work welfare and benefits through the universal cut will hit 2.5 million families hardest. we think that is completely unfair. {lin families hardest. we think that is completely unfair.— families hardest. we think that is completely unfair. on the issue of vaccine passports, _ completely unfair. on the issue of vaccine passports, i'm _ completely unfair. on the issue of vaccine passports, i'm sure - co

primary step was in the us so deputy prime minister dominic raab was taking it and angelina —— angela rayners asking questions. this is what she had to say. a typicalfamily, mr speaker, facing a tough winter this year. universal credit, down a thousand quid. rent up150 quid. gas bills up 150 quid. taxes up and food prices are soaring. working people will have to choose whether to feed their kids or heat their homes. the choice for the deputy prime minister is, will he make their lives easier or harder? so what will he choose, mr speaker? will the government cancel the universal credit cut? the short answer from dominic raab in effect, no. is of the £20 uplift as they described it had always intended to be temporary. when it comes to the idea that energy prices, he said the cap would save people money, but he also said the government was trying to maintain supply. this was his response. the most disastrous thing for energy bills of hard—working people - across the country would be to follow labour's plan - to nationalise the energy companies, | which the cbi say would cost as much as £2000 on

angela rayner made eye—catching comments about the tories last night and the shadow chancellor has beenion style metaphors because of this race here. it is too close to call at this stage. it is between angela merkel�*s conservatives led by armin laschet and the social democrats, led by olaf scholz. they are the junior partner in democrats, led by olaf scholz. they are thejunior partner in mrs merkel�*s coalition government. depending on the pole look at, they are separated by between somewhere between one and four percentage points. with a margin of merit taken into account, that means it is impossible to predict the outcome. the green party, who had hoped to do better, where polling in third place. climate change has been a huge issue in this campaign and they could still end up in a future government because whoever comes out on top tonight will have to try to form a coalition government. while all sorts of combinations are technically possible, many are politically difficult to negotiate. that means they could be weeks if not months before germany gets its new government and angela

it's one of the questions food criticjay rayner asks in his new book.rance contributions to pay for health and social care. mps will vote later on the proposals today, but how would the changes affect us all? nina is here to explain. for as long as i can remember, probably for as long as you can remember, this big question on how to fund health and social care with an ageing population has weighed over every government. make no mistake this is a really big moment. yesterday borisjohnson announced what he called the biggest catch—up programme in the history of the nhs. £36 billion, raised over three years, to deal with the backlog caused by covid—19. more than £5 billion of that will go towards changes to social care in england. scotland, wales and northern ireland will also receive an additional £2.2 billion to spend on their services. the money will also be used to overhaul how much families pay towards social care. but where is that money coming from? you know by now about the uk—wide1.25% increase in national insurance contributions. which will becom
