sajid javid. tearing up get this down. sajid javid.llow spending because borisjohnson, i suppose he would call himself a real free marketeer. big tax cuts, but sajid javid may have his finger on the pulse and things that would not be wise because it would look as though we are tearing up the kind of rules the conservatives have always been known for. but it is interesting to see where they think the public is at this particular time because the public are sick and tired of nine years austerity. they don't think they have delivered a growth for everybody and that the factor in brexit as well, not exactly what kind of brexit we are going to get. if you're going to have a deal. and a lot of the spending projections are based on continued growth but if the economy shrinks, we will not be able to do the stuff. so what does that mean? prudence, there is still some prudence coming from mr sajid javid. in the event that they have chips and —— chosen to spend this money, they have pledged for the lowest, that is in the manifesto. yes, borisjohn

speaking to andrew marr, sajid javid double down on how conservatives are come up sajid javid doublen how conservatives are come up with this figure. we have taken a manifesto from a couple of years ago, which they still stand by. but you haven't counted it properly. you haven't costed the 2017 pledges fairly. we have every singer costing in this dossier we have published a day, it has even come from labours own figures, most of them, the 50% of the figures are from labour's own figures. the rest of them have even come from independent external sources, and in some cases, yes, we have had to work them out ourselves, but we have done that in a reasonable way, and we have set out exactly in the dock and how we have done this. that was sajid javid speaking a little early on, what are labour saying about all this? the underlying point of this, that labour would spend more, is absolutely true. they have been very upfront about that over the week about having a very ambitious plan for investment. so john about having a very ambitious plan for investment. sojohn mcdonald talking about havin

which the government announced earlier today andi government announced earlier today and i think sajid javid about that as well in terms of financial help. but some say as little too little too late. especially if you're in the village that is underwater effectively as the dramatic picture on the front of the independent and other papers show anything the government offers now feels like too little too late but they're absolutely right, everything is political in the best of times but during the general election, these floods, borisjohnson more than any other conservative leaders rely on him saying the areas particularly in the north of england in the mittens which have not voted conservative if ever, that he is taking them seriously and cares about them. so any perception that he is not gripping this and perhaps one did develop earlier this week, jeremy corbyn went there twice before borisjohnson did and he said borisjohnson must hold a meeting, that very dramatic term that is just, when the prime minister because one of those, that is on those demonstrations that he gives and trained us in

sajid javid was asked about this on sky news a little while ago.'t necessarily tell us where the pans are pennies would be coming from. we are very clear, we want to help people with a cost of living wherever we can. earlier this week we set out our plans to cut taxes and national insurance for 31 million people helping the lowest paid. how is it going to add up? ifi answer helping the lowest paid. how is it going to add up? if i answer the question about the tax lock i will show you exactly how it adds up. we are also announcing today the triple tax lock which is our commitment to giving more financial security to hard—working people giving more financial security to ha rd—working people that giving more financial security to hard—working people that under a conservative majority government, the rates of tax and the three biggest taxes, national insurance, income tax and vat, will not rise and they can be absolutely certain of that. what are the opposition parties are saying about this? of course we had labour's manifesto and the manifestos of the

by the electorate, or by sajid javid? don't know about you, but many people will be seeing who will pay for this? quiet. both major parties are promising significant spending increases, there are orders of magnitude in difference between $20 billion and 55 billion pounds does make £20 billion and £55 billion. but i think the most radical thing they have proposed in this article at the very end, where they talk about labour's plans for the labour market and they plan to allow — to give staff the right to choose their owi'i give staff the right to choose their own hours. i am quite intrigued by that. on the one side they could simply be something like people requesting flexible work from their employer, or if it is the radical thing you might expect from corbin and mcdonnell, you could end up in a situation where staff decide everything which is going to be a nightmare for businesses and coi'isuitiei’s. nightmare for businesses and consumers. what does that mean if you are trying to arrange to get your hair cut or, perhaps

chancellor sajid javid says the conservatives would increase borrowing to pay for new infrastructure, insists that controlling borrowing is a priority. this report from our economics correspondent andy verity. the man who wants to be the next chancellor of the exchequer has already promised a £250 billion in extra spending in the next ten yea rs. extra spending in the next ten years. today, he promised another sizeable sum in half that time. the social transformation fund will begin the urgent task of repairing oui’ begin the urgent task of repairing our socialfabric begin the urgent task of repairing our social fabric that's been torn apart by the tories. £150 billion to replace and upgrade and expand our schools, our hospitals, care homes and, yes, council homes once again. another £150 billion over five years is roughly £30 billion a year. to give you an idea of how much that is, £1 billion would run the nhs over the uk for three days, it is enough for the government to build up enough for the government to build up to 111,000 new social homes or to pay for 22,000 new secondary sch

they are, yes, sajid javid, the chancellor, is going to say the labour plans will amount to an extrang over the next five yea rs, of spending over the next five years, a huge figure in his view. what are you saying comes from a document which is political rather than financial because the civil service has declined to do any official costings of labour's programme. effectively what he's arguing is although he is relaxing his own fiscal rules, the conservatives are ready to spend more, that labour's plans are not only more ambitious but not affordable but in that document they are making assumptions that for example are making assumptions that for exa m ple every are making assumptions that for example every single policy passed by labour's conference is going to be something which they implement. in fact next week senior figures in the labour party are going to discuss which of these policies actually make it into the manifesto, so actually make it into the manifesto, so the conservatives aren't costing the labour manifesto. we still don't know exactly what labour's programme is befo

here's sajid javid, the chancellor, defending that policy. nothing's going to be watered down.can, doing more to root out any kind of prejudice amongst anyone who has got any association with the conservative party. there is no excuse for it. i am, the prime minister is. it's worth remembering the prime minister himself has been accused of using islamophopic language. last year, boris johnson wrote an article defending the right of muslim women to wear the burqa, but in that article, he said those women "look like letter boxes". sajid javid today said the prime minister used that language in an article to "defend the rights of women". he says the prime minister has given a "perfectly valid explanation" of why he used that language. here's rob watson again. i think there seems to be less of a political cost for the conservatives, again partly because of the issue of scale, while there have been allegations, not quite in their hundreds. and i think sort of contrary, if you like, in contrast to the labour party, i think it's not seen as being so ideological in the case of the cons

that is a message hammered home this morning by sajid javid. well, we are very clear.h the cost of living where ever we can. earlier this week, we set out our plans to cut taxes, cut national insurance for 31 million people, helping the lowest paid the most. it's not going to add up. well, if i answer the question about the tax lock, i will show you exactly how it adds up. we are also announcing today this, as you say, the triple tax lock which is our commitment, giving more financial security to hard—working people, that under a conservative majority government, the rates of tax and the three biggest taxes, national insurance, income tax and vat, will not rise and they can be absolutely certain of that. however, no matter how hard the conservative high command have tried to strip out any nasty surprises from this manifesto, it can't stop noises off stage left occurring anyway. this morning we had one on the former tory mp keith simpson, long—standing veteran conservative saying in terms, basically, you cannot trust morris johnson. have saying in terms, basically, you

i do think, however, in the conservative leadership campaign, sajid javid kind of bounce the others intonto islamophobia. this has now morphed into something wider, but i would rather have that than being hauled in front of the equality and human rights commission and being forced into it and being put in the same bracket as the bnp, which is now what is happening with labour.m bracket as the bnp, which is now what is happening with labour. it is only that they are also the subject ofa similar only that they are also the subject of a similar investigation. we haven't had the report of that investigation yet. but we have seen all these damaging headlines, and we wouldn't expect anything other than that from the telegraph or perhaps the daily mail or some of the others, but the fact is that this question is dominating the news again tomorrow. and can ijust say that that in itself is a problem. i think as you have just demonstrated, there are issues with different kinds of racism, and there are different specifics of why they show up different specifics of why they show up in different part

and today on either end of the east lancs road, the chancellor sajid javid in manchester and the shadowohn mcdonnell in liverpool, launching a fiscal revolution, a fundamental change to policy on borrowing and investment, and not sounding too different. it means investment on a scale never seen before in this country. it means billions of pounds more to spend on the infrastructure revolution that this country needs. just down the road from here... john mcdonnell, in his hometown, announcing that a labour government will not try to bring the national debt down as a rule, and instead will increase borrowing to fund hundreds of billions in investments to solve what he calls the social and climate change emergencies. isn't it interesting? after all the years since i've been arguing since i've been shadow chancellor, four years, i have been arguing that we need to invest, and the tories have attacked me, abused me as though i were some revolutionary. now they're falling into line, but on a scale that doesn't meet the challenges we face. because they want to keep the debt down? well, because

we have sajid javid promising to increase borrowing to 3% gdp, that is another £100 billion worth oflice officers, more prisons, and uplift in school places, that £20 billion increase in nhs spending. sizeable spending promises. ifind it interesting nhs spending. sizeable spending promises. i find it interesting that it is so different to all the recent general elections. if you look at the last one or the 2015 election, it was all about how can we save money, how can we bear down on the deficit, how can we balance the books. it was caution, caution, caution. now you would struggle to find anyone talking about saving any sort of money. they have gone into a spending arms race between each other where the argument is not over their plans over reforming the nhs education, the argument is over who is spending the most on what different public service. that is a com plete different public service. that is a complete change in the political culture. austerity fatigue hasjust sunk its claws into the electorate and any politician who appears on the doorstep talking about saving more money o

the chancellor sajid javid said today that labour would spend over £1 trillion in office, a figure dismissed " bad maths" and an ‘absolute work of fiction‘. here's our political correspondentjessica parker. the two men competing to run the country's finances. the conservatives claim that labour's plans amount to an unaffordable splurge. but is their maths up to scratch? every single costing in this dossier that we've published today is either come from labour's own figures and most of the match over 50% of the costings from labour's own figures and the test of them have either come from independent external sources and in some cases, yes, we have had to work them out ourselves. but we've done that in a reasonable way and we have set out exactly in the document how we've done this. they've even set up a website, listing some contentious claims about the so—called cost of corbyn. £196 billion to renationalise industries like the railway already a disputed figure. 85 billion to bring in a four—day working week. the conservative dossier assumes that such plans would all quickly come into force.

claim, saying the conservatives will publish a dossier setting out calculations that the chancellor sajid javidexit party leader nigel farage will give boris a final chance to form a brexit pact that he says could finish labourfor a generation. the independent has an interview with the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell who says their manifesto will be the most radical, with promises of a universal basic income and climate pledges at the heart of it. we will begin with the election. the mail on sunday... 1.2 trillion in red letters, it will cost every uk household £43,000, this is the conservatives' calculator, they have worked out what it would costjeremy corbyn over a term in office to deliver his promises?fi corbyn over a term in office to deliver his promises? 1 trillion is a round number, 1.2 trillion. a lot of zeros! nobody knows! s is a 12 zeros ? of zeros! nobody knows! s is a 12 zeros? 12, yes. 1000 billion, a lot of money, the point is this is the conservatives trying to fight the last election because one of the things that happened in the last election was a conservatives did not attack

the chancellor, sajid javid, has joined a chorus of condemnation of a spectator columnist after he suggestedote. rod liddle wrote: "my own choice of election date would be a day when universities are closed and muslims are forbidden to do anything on pain of hell, or something'. the spectator‘s assistant editor isabel hardman said she profoundly disagrees with liddle‘s piece and was hugely upset by it. mrjavid, who is muslim, tweeted his response. he said: former texas congressman beto o'rourke has announced that he is ending his 2020 presidential campaign. o'rourke told supporters in an e—mail that he will also not run to become a senator next year either. he made the announcement in a series of tweets, stating: after expressing his gratitude to the volunteers and donors to his campaign, he then asked supporters to... before then tweeting that his team... chris, just tell us more about this. yes, beto o'rourke was seen as one of the big rising stars within the democratic party, mainly because of a run that he took at a senate seat in texas 12 months ago in the mid—term elections. now, he wa

chancellor sajid javid explained how his party had come up with the figure for the labour spending plansa couple of years ago, which they still stand by. if they have withdrawn a policy, we haven't taken that into account. but you haven't counted it properly. you haven't costed the 2017 pledges fairly. every single costing in this dossier that we have published today has either come from labour's own figures. most of them, actually, over 50% of the costings, are from labour's own figures. the rest of them have either come from independent external sources, and in some cases, yes, we have had to work them out ourselves, but we have done that in a reasonable way, and we have set out exactly in the document how we have done this. labour reject the conservative characterisation of their spending plans. they say they have not yet published a manifesto, so the conservatives do not have a set of proposals to cost. shadow local government secretary andrew gwynne made their displeasure clear to andrew marr. this is an absolute work of fiction by the conservatives. you can't trust a word that john

the policy was hammered home by the chancellor sajid javid. to help people with the cost of living wherever we can. well, we are very clear. we want to help people with the cost of living where ever we can. earlier this week, we set out our plans to cut taxes, cut national insurance for 31 million people, helping the lowest pay is. it‘s not going to add up. well, if i answer the question about the tax lock, i will show you exactly how it adds up. we are also announcing today this, as you say, the triple tax lock which is our commitment, giving more financial security to hard—working people, that under a conservative majority government the rates of tax and the three biggest taxes, national insurance, income tax and vat, will not rise and they can be absolutely certain of that. the contrast with labour‘s manifesto launch last week i think will be humongous. because labour wanted the ma nifesto to humongous. because labour wanted the manifesto to be a massive moment of potential and a game changer. money was being sprayed around all over the pla

earlier this month, sajid javid set out clear rules around managing the economy. borrowing to invest in infrastructure and capital spending, not day—to—day spending of the government but the other rule will be that if the borrowing and interest rates start to go up, a break will be put on that and the reason we are able to borrow at such low interest rates is because we have run the economy responsibly. the prime minister contrasted that with the labour party. they have these unaffordable promises, money being spread around, and people will say, we cannot lend to you at these low interest rates. nicky morgan, thank you. before borisjohnson went into deliver his speech, one of the three spinners came up to me and said, it will not be a game changer but ina said, it will not be a game changer but in a way, that is ok for t johnson, they do not have to change the game, because broadly they think this election is going to plan. norman, thank you very much. norman smith in telford. more to come. the bbc‘s reality check team are assessing the conservative manifesto pled

you mentioned restraint and yet some people criticising the fact that sajid javid is said that he proposeswhich would mean finding an extra £100 billion. the interesting thing there, and i think this is a genuine challenge for centre—right politicians like conservative ministers, is that the cost of borrowing and servicing government debt is a different kettle of fish from what it was ten or 15 years ago, and there is a growing international consensus from the imf, only this week, the 0ecd, and evenin imf, only this week, the 0ecd, and even in germany, which has strict rules, there is an intense debate about the role of fiscal policy and borrowing. just because you are going to borrow money, and that cost is less difficult than it once was, does not mean to say it is not without constraints. and yet something of a gear change from a party that has always said it prides itself on not borrowing beyond its means? yes, you have put your finger on it, borrowing beyond your means. the cost of government that now is very low and the cost of debt service charges. there has never been a problem wit

side that you have a situation where we have historically low borrowing rates, the chancellor and sajid javide. the tories feel they have been lumped in with labour because they both said they are going to do these plans, although they are quite different such as the broadband policy and the addition of that. but how many tax cuts they can do, i think boris johnson is quite limited. the business rates issue has been going on for some time. it's probably a savvy choice compared to a tax cut the high earners. i think if they are going to labour areas that have never voted tory before, i think this would be more potent. let's look at the guardian. we can't support an anti— jewish labour, says authors. this is a damning letter. more often in election time we're used to seeing letters signed by authors and cultural luminaries supporting labour. they say we can't supporting labour. they say we can't support the labour party because we believe they are guilty of anti—semitism. the founder wikipedia, john mccurry and others. most worrying for labour, the head of the group that investigates islamophob

chancellor sajid javid joins us now from westminster to explain.irst budget, will raise that to £9,500 and that will be a saving ofjust under £100 for 31 million people, a tax cut. the prime minister also said it is our ambition to raise it further, to £12,500 and when it gets to that, that is a saving of almost £500 per person and we‘re doing this because we have always believed that we have shown that these since being backin we have shown that these since being back in office that hard—working people should be able to keep more of their hard earned cash. one thing developing is trust, that we need to be able to trust what people say, specifically the leaders of party so ifi specifically the leaders of party so if i read a quote from boris johnson, he says, if we‘re lucky enough to elected, the first budget we will go up to the £9,500 threshold and that we‘ll put £500 into the pockets of everybody. is that true? what the prime minister is talking about is the first phase of the increase, £9,500, and then the ambition to get it even further and ge

hello former special adviser to sajid javid. up comedian and he used to work for the labour party. and i am the bbc pickle at her. any airport based reports —— not meant for non—scottish berber —— not such person this would be, over the tanner, this said," could the person who left their kilts come back and get their killed?" people running around asking if they were if they had the pants to make whoever it was i hope they found their kilts, it may been for a wedding, a special occasion or they're wandering around a wee bit drafty. you used to work with such javid. did you work on the campaign trail with with such javid. did you work on the campaign trailwith him, with such javid. did you work on the campaign trail with him, what would you be doing for him at this point? normally, you would be going out, accompanying them on campaign visits to mostly marginal seats or you would be bringing them to studios such as this to get a mauling from presenters as yourself. would you give them a pep talk before going into the city or shove

i just wish sajid javid would enjoy it as well and come and talk to me every now and then. 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 earlier, we have a bold vision for the future of our country. it is about being connected, principled and visionary. i think these are qualities our country is crying out for at the moment. we are into the second week of the general election campaign and i tell you, we will continue to be, no matter what they throw at us, we will continue to be read relentlessly positive in this campaign about the future of our
