in this case, i think the sdp, the sdp are on the right track . >> do you agree with that? >> do you agree with that? >> well, i was an sdp candidate in 1987 when they supposedly did. in fact, i was on the they supposedly the last manifesto in 1987. actually, i was on the manifesto committee. they didn't the sdp didn't have a manifesto then because that was sdp—liberal alliance . and this sdp—liberal alliance. and this isn't really the same body, but it's a very interesting body because nigel farage, while he was a social conservative, is an economic liberal. the only political party that is trying to combine, as it were, a kind of, protectionist nationalism based economic policy with a protectionist , nationalist protectionist, nationalist social policy. is the sdp that makes them quite intellectually interesting to me. i don't think they're a continuation of the sdp. you might say they are interesting. i, i am in favour of an industrial strategy and i was very disappointed. the conservative party decided to move away from that under liz truss. b

bremen and others remain the last strongholds of the sdp, where the party of chancellor olaff scholzition. position in the new federal states, almost the entire map is colored blue, party color, an alternative for germany, the only exceptions were berlin and pozzdam, where the majority of residents voted for the greens. and political analysts say that according to the results of the elections to the european parliament, the alternative for germany has finally established itself as the second most powerful party in germany. and by the way, igor vladimirovich, young people are voting for an alternative for germany. here you are right, the mood in society, the islamization of europe will continue, which means the muslim parties will soon be for them the majority vote, because the majority of them live there, that’s why the war, europe, when they tell me, europe will go to war, who will go to war, muslims, muslims will rob them, take their houses, they will not fight with russia, now as for . fascism, everything has turned upside down, now it’s worse than the green fascists, i don’t know

a brilliant whetstone, sdp.versation that was, coming up in my take at ten nigel farage. the clock is ticking. should he run my verdict? but first my mark meets guest is surely the most important man in britain. mr pothole has devoted his life to patching up britain's roads. he tells his story. next. if he doesn't get nigel farage in my take at ten. but first it is. mark meets. nigel farage in my take at ten. but first it is. mark meets . and but first it is. mark meets. and surely the issue that should be front and centre of this general election. it might sound more trivial than immigration, the nhs or the economy, but if there's one thing that infuriates absolutely everyone , infuriates absolutely everyone, it's potholes. hazardous, damaging to cars, motorbikes and bicycles, and visible proof of a crumbling infrastructure. here is rock superstar rod stewart fixing one at the end of his street . he wears it well . well, street. he wears it well. well, coming to the rescue. it's not rishi sunak keir starmer or

the citizens of germany, namely. 70% are not satisfied with the work of the ruling coalition of the sdpc party and the greens. this is evidenced by data from a survey published by the bilzon newspaper. only 22% of respondents expressed the opposite point of view. local residents and the chancellor's work are outraged. 62% of respondents are dissatisfied with scholz’s actions, and only 27% support them. a high-profile corruption scandal is flaring up in moldova, all employees of the bureau. interpol in chisinau, who became defendants in the criminal case, were removed from their positions, local officials report. four people are suspected of participating in an international corruption scheme. the investigation believes that officials. from moldova helped to avoid prosecution for persons on the international wanted list in exchange for large bribes. light industry workers' day is celebrated in belarus today. our knitwear, linen and leather products have long become a national brand. the industry operates more than 2,000 organizations. they employ almost 85,000 specialists. the flagship o

the sdp must ask itself whether its chancellor still has the legitimacy to lead this country, or whetherry of the european union, yes, although the word in the key country of the european union already several times - it raises questions, because in what sense it is a key country, once there was a war in europe for the spanish inheritance, now germany is also being bitten and pulled in different directions, poland is trying to grab something for itself - from the economic potential of germany and from its political influence, macron is pulling, he is also trying to steal some of the political influence from germany, that is, in general, germany is losing everything that it had accumulated before in this decade, you rightly noted vyacheslav alekseevich, that this is a failure of scholz personally, because his party lost precisely because of him, this is his personal failure, but also the greens. that there is huge propaganda against her, she is being discredited, they are proving to people that there is no way they can vote for her, and people, if they still vote for her, this is again ,

no know the la last time i looked, our medical costs or sdp or some very high nu so if you were to, we have to look back and sayy, we change snap and add sugar promotes diabetes. weo go back and educate people that the cost is too high and it is too harmful to health. what politician out there's going to say you know what, were getting healthier as a nation a encouraging our citizens to eat healthier, this is how were going to do it through snap andthere was a snack industry, when you make on snap. >> host: that is deborah. maya macguineas tragedy that was cited us. that is a true budget walkie question of a very impressive. come work with us. a really tough question, so much good information in there. absolutely our budget processnder now is outdated. it is could not working any longer. if you look bas budget deadlines we are missing all of them. if you look at the fact that we don't even past budgets in this country, i'most people don't realize that. some members of congress to realize that whatre operating under a budget so often these days. we have continuing resolutions if the bud

for example, germany, the alternative for germany came into second place, beating chancellor scholz’s sdparty. well, europeans are clearly tired of politicians who are actively destroying the economy so that the united states can earn good money. our european correspondent regina sevastyanova will tell you how everything went. now she is in direct contact with us. and at the same time, for example, in germany tomorrow tagamina will come out with the headline that approximately 80% of germans are still partially sane, thus the publication will comment on 16% and, accordingly, the second place of the far-right alternative for germany, beating, among other things , supporters of olaf scholz, who gain 14% of the votes - this is the most the lowest result of the social democrats since the creation of this party and the greens, who are part of the government coalition, an alternative for... we are again the strongest political force in germany, the people have punished extremists on both the left and right of the political spectrum. however, there in germany , after the elections, the socialist

party national association lepen, germany, the right has bypassed the scholze party, they have 16%, the sdphe worst result in history, 14% of the vote, the greens are at the head of the askhabikom and bärbock are in fourth place. bilt writes: “the border according to the voting results in germany coincides exactly with the former border between germany and the gdr. this is good. in france, the situation is even more catastrophic for macron. right-wing party the national association lepen took first place in the country and was more than twice as ahead of the party of another lover of ukraine - revival. emmanuel macron. dissolves parliament, calls early elections, how this can help the president is unclear, the request for change is obviously a similar situation in spain, slovakia, hungary, italy, spain, the netherlands and belgium. belgian prime minister drow resigns after the defeat of his party. the lemont newspaper calls the election result a historic rise of the far right. that is, europe is now it will be different, but not completely different. there are reasons for... positivity, of

and the sdp . we can we have the sdp.rm , situation then where reform, obviously gets this extraordinary vote share. i'm just trying to analyse it from kind of a historic perspective. could some thing, you know, historical happen in political science that suddenly the tories i mean, when's the last time the tories have been pushed into third? >> well, that's a great point. we had in the 2019 european elections , the conservatives elections, the conservatives were pushed into fifth place. and that's partly what's triggered the last few years of this sort of drama that we've had in the conservative party it's certainly what triggered theresa may to resign. and they came behind nigel farage again, nigel farage's brexit party, so, i mean , you don't even have to i mean, you don't even have to go back as far to the 80s to look at a situation where, a party can get millions of votes and not result in many mps. party can get millions of votes and not result in many mps . ukip and not result in many mps. ukip got 3.5 million vote

for example, germany, an alternative for germany , took second place, surpassing the sdp party, chancellor fed up with politicians who are actively destroying the economy so that the united states can make good money. in austria, the right-wing freedom party won a landslide victory, gaining 27% of the vote. about how the elections are going, anastasia. elections to the only elected body of the eu happen once every 5 years, this time many politicians believe that residents of european union countries will vote based on their preferences in foreign policy. polling stations have already closed in ireland, the czech republic, latvia and malta, and voting has taken place in italy, where current prime minister giorgia miloni is projected to win a landslide victory. she arrived at the site in the suburbs of rome, one of the first, a few minutes after the opening. fondel benefits from escalation; under this sauce , she is gradually taking control of more and more areas that were previously exclusively under the jurisdiction of national governments. after health issues, brussels intends to manage t

bremen and others remain the last strongholds of the sdp, where the party of chancellor olaf scholz stilln the new federal states, almost the entire map painted blue, the party color, an alternative for germany, the only exceptions being berlin and potzdam, where the majority of residents voted for the greens. and political analysts say that according to the results of the elections to the european parliament , the alternative for germany has finally established itself as the second most powerful party in germany. and by the way, igor vladimirovich, are young people voting for an alternative for germany? here you are right, the mood in society is completely different and in some ways dangerous, because historical analogies come to mind. of course, of course, by and large this is happening in france, but if we are talking about germany, then again, the revival of germany, precisely in the situation when germany was plundered and destroyed by the united. europe will go to war, who will go to war? muslims? muslims will rob them and take away their houses; they will not fight with russia. now

consignment the social democratic chancellor showed the worst result in the last 100 years. in the sdpresponsible, for example the elected party leadership, must now reflect on their responsibility, what role they play in this disaster, sigmar gabriel, ex-made head and former chairman of the social democratic party of germany. the leaders of belgium were also out, and the courageous prime minister of estonia, kaja kallas, threatened russia so much that the ruling parties in her country gave in to the opposition. in the elections in european parliament, here, as experts note, the inexplicable fierce struggle of the kalos with the russian language responded with monuments to soviet soldiers. and yet, the electoral situation in europe is developing in such a way that the essence of politics will not change, the majority will be those who, once in parliament, will unite with partners in the coalition. and here the supporters of the war have a stronger position. this is precisely connected with a specific unifying moment, confrontation. russia, besides, europe today depends more on the elec

and there, when you read the program of the cdu, the sdp and the sdp there is practically no differencep more than 50% of the adc functionaries? ex-fdu, yes, whoever votes for them is the one who previously voted for the cdu, and the same for everyone else, there, through persistent democratization, liberalization, all the parties were brought together to the centrist ones, as a result it turned out that there is no one except the centrists, but there is a request for a right-wing conservative idea, there is one, and the adg, they simply became, occupied this flank, which was previously occupied by the cdu, he said that he had certain ones, there too, mother , i’m not upset, everything was fine, but it is clear that conservatives are needed and needed the left, that’s why the cdu arises, the fact that they are declared fascists is an absolutely normal situation, because... their political opponents call them names, but nevertheless, this is how i imagine it, it means those people who, well, sincerely want both - to show, well, yes, yes, yes, these are the ones who are climbing to the ri

alternative for germany beat the sdp to its best ever result at the federal level.ess, expensive aid to ukraine, and there are persistent calls for early elections to the bundestag. the people in germany are extremely worried, people fear for their future, they don’t have enough income in the cities. the influx of migrants, asylum seekers, is what the alternative policy for germany is focused on. the party of the liberal prime minister of belgium gave in to right-wing flemish interests. the king has already accepted the resignation of dro, who had previously signed up as one of the largest fighter suppliers for kiev with the transfer of thirty f-16s to the ukrainian armed forces. unity is important for the european parliament, but there is now a clear danger of a split on the issue. while there are still heads of the european commission, slogans about a strong europe that are worn out to holes are heard today. i i have always said that i want to build a broad majority for a strong europe. in my first term, i demonstrated what a strong europe can achieve. my goal is

i mean, we've had iii years of conservative government, they may as well change their name to the sdpeen high tax, big state, more control of our lives, damaging period for the 5.5 million men and women running small businesses, they've not even been vaguely conservative, low tax, free market. and on the big one, and the big one is immigration. you know, when you think that since the conservatives came to power, our population's risen by 6 million and you wonder why you can't get a gp appointment, you wonder why the roads are clogged, you wonder why you can't get a house. yeah, i'm going to talk to you about immigration and what you might do about it. but before we take you through some of the issues for the future, just as i did with mr starmer, sir keir, just as i did with mr sunak, i want to talk about your record. now you've not been in office, so you don't have a record, but you do have a record ofjudgements, important judgments you've made. let's look at the man who you said was the statesman you most admire. no, i said i... vladimir putin. hang on a second, isaid i disliked him

the sdp facing a heavy defeat in germany according to the exit poll.bbc news and on bbc iplayer in the uk, and that is full coverage on the bbc news website. do stay with us on bbc news. hello there. we started part two of the weekend on a fine note, there was plenty of sunshine around, but since then, skies have clouded over for many. and we're seeing patchy rain pushing into northern ireland, parts of northern england, the midlands and wales, all courtesy of this weather front here, which is pepping up as it's sliding its way south eastwards. all the while, this area of low pressure bringing stronger winds to north and north—east scotland with plenty of blustery showers here. some good sunny spells continuing across scotland and also south—west england, the channel islands. but elsewhere it's cloudy with that rain popping up across northern ireland and spreading across the irish sea. so, temperatures a bit more disappointing because we've got more cloud around, down to around 17 or 18 degrees. as we head through this evening and overnight that rain p

national rally party, marine lepen, in germany the right has bypassed scholz’s party, they have 16% of the sdpthe worst result in recent history, 14% of the vote. the greens, led by habik and berbok fourth place. in france, for... macron , the situation is even more catastrophic, the right-wing party national rally, the same marina lepen, took first place in the country and was more than twice as ahead of the party of another lover of ukrainian revival. emmanuel dissolves parliament and calls early elections. how this can help the president is not very clear. the demand for change is probably already obvious. the same situation is in spain, slovakia, hungary, italy, spain, and the netherlands. belgium, prime minister of belgium, decrot, after his defeat the party also resigns. the lemound newspaper, which publishes the exit poll results, calls these very results. a historic rise for the ultra-right, that is, europe will now be different, but not very different. of course, there are reasons for positivity; the right-wing forces in europe that oppose support for ukraine and anti-russian sanction

the comparison i would make is with the sdp back in the 19805, make is with the sdp back in the 1980sbecause the sdp formed from nowhere, they had a they were over 50% in the opinion poll at one point. the sdp and the next election they got ten seats or something, not almost nothing. so you can't very easily in this system start a party from zero. and the reform has been near zero. and then suddenly end up with a whole lot of seats. >> you can't well, you say that, but it all depends on what people do on polling day, doesn't it? because we can say that. and i'm not saying, you know, i literally i have no idea what i will do with regards to voting . but the bottom line is voting. but the bottom line is this it is almost for me, as though there is a sort of narrative that people are saying, look, we're just going to vote with our feet and with our hearts, so we don't care whether you think they can't get enough seats or whether you think that we're going to go where the people are saying the things that we want to hear. yeah. and if that is reform or the labour party or whoever they wan

the majority of voters voted for the greens , bremen and others remain the last strongholds of the sdp scholz's party still occupies a leading position in the new federal states, almost all of them. the map is colored blue, the party color, an alternative for germany, the only exceptions being berlin and potzdam, where the majority of residents voted for the greens. and political analysts say that according to the results of the elections to the european parliament, the alternative for germany has finally established itself as the second strongest party in germany. and by the way, igor vladimirovich, young people are voting for an alternative for germany. here here you are right, the mood in society is completely different and in some ways dangerous, because stories. germany is precisely in that situation when germany is plundered and destroyed by the united states, well, industry is leaving, industry is leaving, workers are leaving, migrants are appearing, but yes, at the beginning of the 20th century there was, perhaps, no such migration situation with representatives of another cult

thatches counter balanced by sdp and job creation in may at 152,000 and missing 175,000 gain. it's not just the stock market focusing on that weakness and running up. we've got both of those yields fallen more than 32-basis points a week with just over the last five trading sessions is that a screaming signal and fed could cut sooner rather than later? actively to invest on the odds is the fed funds futures and contracts based on what the fed's benchmark rate will be at each meeting and right now july showing an 18.5% odds but look at probability of a quarter point cut that would take it from five and a quarter to 5.5% down to 5 to 5.25%. september now at 70.6% odds. one week ago, it was just 46% odds of a cut. 26 million a day new record, what does that tell you on behalf of investors to trade mostly interest rate futures? >> it tells me a lot of things and some of the economic information you gave there is clear as mud. so there's so many differing opinions with adp and everything else being different in the market reacting in a different way. we saw what happened to svb and

i think back to 1983, when the sdp came within a gnafs when the sdp came within a gnat's crotchet oftion in, they were they were over and ahead of labour, but they came within, within almost 1% of labourin within, within almost 1% of labour in 1983. but by 1990 they dissolved and. >> well, i could be the case, couldn't it? i mean, and also how what does nigel farage do again? we are speculating three weeks away today. we'll know the result , but we are speculating result, but we are speculating completely. but he may face his own donald trump moment. what does he do? he he can't challenge the result. does he accept it and campaign on electoral reform, you know, he's a he's a patriot, a democrat, he believes in democracy. but if that system means he gets a couple, 2 or 3 mps and the tory party is third and they get 20 times, 30 times the number he gets, it does raise question marks about the whole the democratic process in this country and whether that might fuel the idea of proportional representation , which, by the representation, which, by the way, a labour government with a huge

together with the sdp executive committee, scholz will have to review his party's worst national election, at the g7 summit the press was unkind not only to scholz, but also to all the leaders of the seven, except the hostess of the meeting, george miloni, feel confident . will probably lose the elections and leave the post of prime minister, they are already openly mocking them, calling those gathered in italy lame ducks, ghosts and a procession of the living dead. one by one, haunted-looking world leaders walked through the arch to be greeted by their hostess, devastated and broken on the election battlefield. it was a parade of the living dead, everyone received a consoling handshake and a photo with miloni, although all this was not the same it was upsetting, at the meeting with miloni he seemed to be counting on a hug, probably in his soul he had already thrown off the burden of power, for biden this is also an unbearable burden, in italy he again surprised, behaved strangely at the meeting with the pope . biden moves closer to dad to maybe kiss him or talk, literally, head to head.

nigel parry and labouris kendall, sdp nigel parry and labour is mark sewards .sewards. meanwhile, there are question marks over whether we can expect tax rises in labour's manifesto to be announced tomorrow. and here's what labour leader sir keir starmer had to say when he was asked about this earlier today. >> all of our plans are fully costed , fully funded. there will costed, fully funded. there will be no increase in income tax in national insurance or vat and we'll launch our manifesto tomorrow. there'll be no tax surprises and none of our plans require tax rises over and above the rises that we've already set out. but what you will see tomorrow is a plan for the future of the country , a future of the country, a manifesto that sets out how we will rebuild and renew the country, and sets out the first steps that we will take in government on day one to set us down that path of renewal and rebuilding. so it'll be a very different manifesto to the one that the tories unveiled yesterday . yesterday. >> and the liberal democrat leader, sir ed davey, has also be

and the defections , from the labour defections, from the labour party to the sdp?eds a few more big, big guns. remember, the sdp had roy jenkins, shirley williams, i mean, these were towering figures of their day, but we don't know who these six people are. chris hope knows who they are. chris hope knows who they are. but he knows the rules of the game better than any of us. so i suspect we might hear1 or so i suspect we might hear 1 or 2 of the names before the day is out. but it could be a turning point for the conservative party and i find that fascinating. and i wrote down knowing that i was going to be talking to you. the two debates i'd really love to witness, and even chair, if it was possible , would be nigel was possible, would be nigel farage versus rishi sunak and keir starmer versus diane abbott. then we'd really see what the differences were . what the differences were. >> a tantalising prospect, both of them. alison stewart it's just always an absolute delight to speak to you on your finest form as a legend. thanks very much for joining form as a lege

. >> people with the sdp . and then >> people with the sdp. scp. liberal alliance back in the 80s or whenever it was. this isn't the first time we've been in this position where there's been a third party that's been polling very well in the 20% region. i think the scp got in their heyday and it only translated into a very no seats. in fact . and we didn't change in fact. and we didn't change the voting system then. and what i find really interesting actually, with this whole thing about to changing to proportional representation , is proportional representation, is the same people who want proportional representation were against the referendum on voting reform. when was it in 2014? 9/11 alternative was it the alternative vote? so i don't really understand. you've got these people that want want changes to how we vote, but then when we have the opportunity to change the way how we vote, they voted against me. >> i voted against it because it wasn't a brilliant system, but also we weren't seeing this complete divide in society where we working

the sdp's got nigel perry and labour's got mark sewards.e gb news. com the other thing i'm going to say is can you believe it? i've been shortlisted for an award. some of you will already know about this. this is a trick award and i was initially nominated for my interview with the broadcasting legend that is alastair stewart, who revealed to me his heartbreaking diagnosis that he had dementia . diagnosis that he had dementia. i sat with him and spoke about that at length, and i spoke to his wife, sal, at their home. anyway, to cut a long story short, i was first of all nominated and then the public, including your very good selves, voted. and it's now the case that i've been shortlisted down to four, so i hope to win on june the 25th. but it's not just me @gbnews who's celebrating because nigel farage and eamonn holmes have also been nominated , holmes have also been nominated, and best news program may well go to gb news breakfast because they're also in that category. so we've all done very well and we're patting ourselves on the back. c

the sdp, i think they are . so there's they're in they are.hey're in an alliance with they've got coalition and stuff. and in france, marine le pen's national rally topped the poll and got nearly a third of the vote. so and completely trounced emmanuel macron. so he's had to call an early general election. now she's technically no longer leader of that party because she's standing in the presidential elections and they're suddenly new, stepped in and they 28 year old. it's obviously not like broken their momentum at all. and also interesting because some people say, well, is it is it immigration or could there be other policies. the only country which hasn't had this swing is denmark. i think the only thing sweden and sweden and they already have strong. well, denmark certainly has a strong very what would you call it like immigrant anti—immigration and specifically islam . yeah. they specifically islam. yeah. they they sort of picked they picked that policy from the right to keep themselves safe. yeah. which is what you need. >> i think that

and it is conceivable that he will create the same kind of conditions that the sdp did way back in theand you'll create a mood in the country where there will be a penod country where there will be a period of labour dominance that is perfectly possible. i wouldn't rule out . but he wouldn't rule out. but he himself, you know, he's a showman. whatever he did , if he showman. whatever he did, if he sold washing powder, he would still be a star. the guy is not really a politician. he's someone who enjoys flirting with politics at the expense of others. >> do you think that really, because you know he is, he's regarded by many as one of the most effective? whether you like him or not, you know that. but many people would say he's probably one of the most effective politicians of this lifetime. >> no, i think he's a very effective performer and i'm acknowledging that it's a brilliant act , acknowledging that it's a brilliant act, and i totally accept that. but, you know, i mean, look at that mismatch we had today. every sort of disgruntled sense of disgruntlement or dissatisfaction when it

all those years back . of the sdp all those years back.omething at least to play for , is it? for, is it? >> i mean, at what point, peter do you do the tories start campaigning on the basis of mitigating losses and saying you know, this labour government is going to need a strong opposition to hold it to account. i mean, is that anything they would ever contemplate? >> i dare say they're contemplating it. >> but i can't imagine realistically they're going to admit to it. because that is a sort of another way of throwing in the towel. but i'm sure those calculations are going on. and his it is worth noting, actually , labour's strategy when it comes to the polling day itself. the not even going to bother about knocking on doors of people who've made it pretty plain . they're going to back plain. they're going to back them, they're going for the don't knows. they're going for the undecideds because it is quite interesting to note for all these polls, sir keir starmer is still intensely nervous about the way this is going to play in. it's wor

calls for the resignation of the government in germany, the fact is that chancellor scholz’s party, the sdpstory. scholz is now hinting that it might be possible to follow macron’s path. the most humiliating thing for scholz was even the small gap between the victorious competitors from the cdu and csu bloc, you all expected it, and the loss of the alternative for germany party, which took second place, noticeably improved its position compared to the 2019 elections . right-wing forces according to preliminary the results surpassed the ruling parties in austria and spain. thus, the austrian freedom party, known, among other things, for criticizing western anti-russian sanctions, gained over. they also seem to be trying to juggle with nuclear weapons, this is where the role of the europeans is, it ’s difficult to answer then, everything is not that simple, it’s impossible to underestimate, let’s look at the story, sweden recently announced its readiness to host us nuclear weapons if an outbreak war with russia, according to the country's prime minister, in peacetime such the swedes don’t nee

remind you that he took a more radical position than the current german government, that’s what the sdpn internal political aspect to the aftermath; he hopes to take a little bite out of the alternative for germany in the eastern states of germany and strengthen his position against scholz. and it also cannot be ruled out that this is a tune-up for trump, after all, they are ideological allies, these are right-wing politicians, right-wing conservative politicians, perhaps he sees how the campaign is going, if he becomes the next prime minister, then well, the next chancellor, then he most likely may have to deal with trump, trump is talking about a truce, well, that’s what- then there is an adjustment to america, but by means more... he began to threaten civil war, the situation in france is really terrible for macron, because according to all opinion polls, the national association marine lepin should win these early elections, according to according to opinion polls, they must score 36% of the total majority in the national assembly in the french parliament, in the second place, along

. >> you watched, you watched the sdp basically say they want open borders and immigration is not a probleme all of our services are provided by immigrants. and the audience went wild with applause . that is went wild with applause. that is not the view of every man on the street. and then the polling, as you've just mentioned, derby said, oh, he won the debate. >> well, you wouldn't know that, judging by the audience. >> but does it matter about what the audience think if we if we see the polls and actually 24, 25% of brits watching it thought nigel won, 19% thought angela rayner won, and then the rest were really away with the wind. >> it influences people here heanng >> it influences people here hearing the applause . i think hearing the applause. i think people watching will be influenced by it. >> the thing that struck me was that nobody interrupted him. michelle hussein didn't interrupt him once and she was interrupting other people. none of the all the rest of the politicians were silent. he just got these long times to give his sort of manifesto, which is, i think, because nobody ha

cause in the first place, all those years ago, because you started as an sdp person, didn't you?se years ago. >> i was 18, had to decide how to vote. somebody knocked on my door and they were a liberal at the time. back in the 1980s. if any of your viewers can remember that there was a big thatcherism, you know, she was very unpopular at the time . the very unpopular at the time. the labour party were crazy. they were to the left. i quite liked the idea of this new party. it was set up. it was neither left or right, you know, you could join by credit card. you know, it was revolutionary. it broke the mould. and i guess for a young 18 year old, it was different. and i got wrapped up to it . and then mark drugs and to it. and then mark drugs and politics. it's just like a drug. it's an adrenaline thing. once you start getting involved, it's really, really hard to stop. >> yeah, most definitely. and the rest is history. of course, you even flirted with the leadership at one point, which was a huge disaster. >> i mean, what was i thinking of? i think one of the dangers of? i think on

you had labour and the sdp on about 25, and they effectively split their vote, and the tories had a huge you're going to see you potentially you're going to see odd results. and that's just a feature of the system . now we feature of the system. now we can have a debate about first past the post. but we've all lived under it all our lives. we've had it for a very long time. and that's just the way i do. >> i do think there was there was there is a general mood. i think that maybe these two leaders are not great and that there is massive dissatisfaction generally in the country, i think, and i wonder, jeff, whether or not you think that's behind nigel farage, his potential success. what do you make of the fact that the nation might be being made to choose, really between two leaders, the two major parties that we just don't like very much, but certainly not been my experience on the doorstep. >> i i've had a lot of people say that actually we need a penod say that actually we need a period of stability. we've had a penod period of stability. we've had a period in which we've had a series

mean , i've and so there is i mean, i've postulated the possibility before that we could even get an sdp in the in the conservative party in the months to come. >> now, if that were to happen, and there would be a right wing faction, it is perfectly possible that he could be he could be an mp working standing for the reform party. >> he could then decide to switch, as people do, from time to time, join the tory party and find himself the leader of a faction which is obviously a right wing faction, and suddenly find himself a leader effectively of the conservative party and people have been speculating for a long, long time that that is actually nigel farage's big goal in life, that you can always do something more serious or more profound within a larger organisation. >> it was what donald trump did with the republican party. he could have stood as an independent. he did once try to for stand the reform party in the united states, which was a significant party in the 1990s, but of course, he decided in the end that going for the bigger party and changing it from within was the more effec

germany jumped into second place, surpassing chancellor scholz's sdp party.nd the first in germany, as experts expected, were the conservatives. the christian democratic union, which owns the head of the european commission, ursula fondeleien, received 23.5% of the vote. europeans are clearly fed up with politicians who they are actively destroying the economy so that the united states can earn good money. in austria, the right-wing freedom party won a landslide victory, gaining 20. israel adhered to international resolutions, including those calling for a ceasefire. the israel defense forces carried out a hostage rescue operation in the central part of the gaza strip. as a result , four people were released, including russian andrei kozlov. north korea will take new retaliatory measures against leaflets broadcast from a group of speakers from south korea. about this was stated by the sister of north korean leader kimyu jong. according to her, a provocation. in the border zone - this is a prelude to a very dangerous situation, they must be stopped in order to

together with the sdp executive committee, scholz will have to review his party's worst national election performance in more than 130 years. in fact, at the g7 summit the press was unkind not only to scholz; among all the leaders of the seven, except the hostess of the meeting, george miloni, feels confident in politics. everyone else came to the bar to escape internal turmoil. a short list of them on british tv depicts the heads of western countries without. joe biden is under huge pressure at home, the popularity of the canadian trudeau is falling after 8 years in power. the european elections have just dealt a major blow to the leaders of france and germany. there is also a report that japanese prime minister kishida may be removed in the fall. newspapers add rishi sunak to this list, who will probably lose the election and leave the post of prime minister, and are already openly mocking, calling those gathered in italy lame ducks, ghosts and a procession. living dead. world leaders with a hunted look one by one others walked through the archway to be greeted by the hostess. devastate

the theme of home runs through these pages as it does through sdp thinking.p or a charity. it's our home, it's where we're building our lives. and that's important. once you start thinking about the country in those terms, you take a more custodial attitude, you're interested in protecting it. homecoming is also a theme which resonates with the vast numbers of politically homeless. there are millions of people literally looking for an alternative to the awful duopoly we have. so, we hope that during this election we succeed in getting their attention and getting a few votes to give people something decent to vote for. there's another thing which homecoming resonates with, i think, which is the idea of reshoring and re—industrialisation. very important part of our package. we want to reshore, we want to reindustrialise. basically, we want industry to regenerate, manufacturing to regenerate and rebuild our communities. so, the public, i think, are well aware of the mess this country is in. the government can't balance its budget, can't control its national bord
