stuart: the one with margaret thatcher in the corner -- >> i got a slightly different version. in fact, i recorded the president saying that, and i had dinner with thatcher, and i played the recording, and she started crying afterwards. thisit was -- she said we girlsw when boys will be boys. perfectly thatcher. stuart: okay. you compare ronald reagan and donald trump. go. >> yes. number one, they're very similar in policies, very similar in strategies. ronald rye began is a much more -- ronald reagan is a much more gracious, much more gentlemanly person in his negotiations. donald trump is in your face. he's a much more aggressive person in these conversations. and i think it comes from family background, it comes from personal wealth. ronald reagan was not really wealthy, and he hung out with a lot of people who were. very major industrialists. and donald trump is the industrialist. finish the rest of the group in the reagan sort of inner circle were much more like trump than reagan was. stuart: okay. >> and that is really just a

thatcher member that there's never beena thatcher member that there's never been a meeting between a as equivalent to the north korean dictator. trump sees them as different and that's what he was too disruptive. it might bring results but we are not there yet. the optics might look good but who knows whether or not we are actually going to get a deal? if we do, will it be better than the iran deal that trump has nuked? we are hoping, we are hoping to cover the summit if it actually takes place. we are hoping. a lot of people say it is a distraction, russia, to distract from the steel tariffs. and that but it also may be the fact that a lot of people commit hillary clinton one of people commit hillary clinton one of them come was very concerned about a president who was to put in, and we should not forget that today, robert mueller, the prosecutor running a special investigation into collusion between the trump campaign and russia has made new indictments, including trump's former campaign chief of staff and that is all going on at the same time allsop so there's a cynical way of loo

margaret thatcher privatized everything you can't have a mixed economy only the united states can have a mixed economy and mixed economies are going to be basically military technology and they're not pleased to make china and other countries dependent so. china. has no intention of letting america dismantle its economy and right now you have the ideological attack from washington saying you've got to privatized your schools so that your students will have to take on the student debt just like american and us to privatized your education so you can have as rotten an expensive transportation system as one but. you can just as actually commit economic suicide what you're pleased to do that and. join the west and china has no went to china says there was a lot of discussion about we don't want to do what the russians. have because the russians have never read marx they didn't understand capitalism and i had no idea what was in store for them when they let me know what rules when the reply me and the one thing that it's china has maintained a. delicate and mixed economy with the public sec

attacks on political enemies were famed, and in brexit he found a cause he first took up when margaret thatcher you have to hand it to him in terms of longevity in the industry and his commercial success. but i think he has been an utterly malign force in british media culture, i have always felt that paul dacre is the worst of british values posing as the best. i think there has been a poisoning in our culture, of which he is a very big part. dacre, who even today often leads the office at 10pm, is stepping back to take a new role at the parent company. it is unclear when his successor will be announced. the brexit secretary, david davis, has issued a stark warning to the eu not to punish the uk over brexit. he said that if britain was harmed, europe would be harmed too. the government is preparing to publish its proposals for the official ‘backstop plan' on how to avoid a hard border between northern ireland and ireland if no deal is reached in the negotiations to leave the eu. but it's already causing divisions among senior ministers. here's our political editor laura kuenssberg. where is th

there is scant evidence of meritocracy or freedom within the party, by contrast she says margaret thatcher was in tune with the hopes and aspirations of the british people. this lot are not, they are very lazy in their battle for ideas with the labour party. do you think she has a point? priti patel was sacked last year from her position as international development secretary because there were a number of meetings she had with israeli officials. she didn't tell the foreign office about them, so she basically went a little bit of rogue, lost herjob. she is a powerful voice in the back benches but i am surprised to see this interview here. she is really, really slating her own party in a dramatic way. i think this fits in again with the peace we started within the observer about michael gove being a better leader than theresa may, another massive dig at theresa may, another massive dig at theresa may's leadership. i think to say your own party is very, very lazy will be seen as hugely disloyal. i don't think priti patel... she got away with it when chicle gum the nasty party. from a positio

anything i could do that was legal to get margaret thatcher out, and her government out, i was preparedo have a go at. and because everything i had been taught to regard as vices, she told me were virtues.d grsn't greed, it was doughty independence. selfishn it was taking care of your immediate responsibilities. >> brown: diyou come to feel that you accomplished something meaningful as a litician? >> not as an individual. because the idea that you have individual power in that sense is actually not true. you have clear responsibilities towards your own constituents and your own constituency.th that was for mmost interesting part of it. but s we did make changes bu then of course along came the iraq war and it all psh-kaboom, like that, so far as i was concerned. >> brown: one issue she championed: women's rights in the home and workplace. i asked if she was surprised by the force of the #metoo movement now. >> what surprises me is that people are surprised. i meann my country for example two women die every week at the hands of their partner, not infrequently male, usually invariably ma

right, 0k. abolished and closed by mrs thatcher. right, ok.ns were put in place to replace them? well, the building regulations were, but the regulations were, but the regulations were, but the regulations were enforced not by the separate district of ayers system syste m — — system —— surveyors system, which can be traced back to the great fire of london, but the local authority was responsible in london for enforcing regulations on its own buildings, and it often didn't do that. so does that explain, then, why you can have fire doors put in that aren't fire worthy? why you can have cladding put onto the building that isn't fire worthy? that you can have windows that don't fit? yes. that's basically it? look, ultimately the government sets the regulations. we had a government, before grenfell, which declared war on health and safety and getting rid of red tape. now, those regulations are there for the safety of everybody in every single building you go in. you should expect to be safe. exactly, and the point is that the fire brigade believed

the spike and conspirators this is a book this is a book by a former in my five man who which mrs thatcher took an absurd. decision. to ban all around the world in america and australia because she couldn't bad it in america it was badly published but it was a strange book was written by a right wing fanatic who's. never. but he was he was a deputy director he believed the director of. spy. he believed the deputy director. he believed when m i five operations went wrong he believed it was because the senior figures were leaking it to the russians whereas of course they went wrong because of competence because it wasn't called because we shouldn't be worried that the government were being overthrown like our wilson's government because. they were incompetent right wing fanatics and they never got anywhere and spycatcher was interesting because when i first defended it i thought the sees in the public interest to show the level of penetration of russian spies in the cold war in our security but when i read it. i thought the case against the head of m i five is hopeless it's very thin. and th

i think of gorbachev, thatcher, a wonderful former soviet who changed entirely.: you met gorbachev many times. james: many times. david: you were impressed with his intellect and abilities. james: yes. he seems to have done an incredible job of changing the course of the world. james: much of it was unintentional. david: does president trump call you for your advice? james: no. david: for people who are watching who say, what are the words of advice for the congress or the administration from the great former secretary of state, jim baker? james: i think we absolutely have to understand that one of the biggest threats facing our country and facing our democracy is the political dysfunction we have today. when i was there 25 years ago with reagan and with bush and ford, we reached across the aisle. we got things done. it happened with carter. it happened with clinton. that doesn't happen anymore. that is truly tragic. david: your pleasures are still hunting and fishing? james: i like playing golf. i still go to the office i'm -- office. i'm still a senior partner.

thatcher weather, goodbye. this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the headlines at 5pm. nhs in england by 2023. labour says it's not enough. we're making the nhs our priority, we're putting a significant amount of extra money into it. we need to make sure that money is spent wisely. we're saying you can go further and if the government made the taxation changes we are prepared to make, you could be giving even more to the nhs. so labour would be spending more on the nhs than the tories. hundreds of migrants who've been the focus of a european dispute over immigration arrive in spain more than a week after being rescued. the conservative mp, sir christopher chope, who blocked legislation to outlaw upskirting now says he does support moves to criminalise it.

margaret thatcher privatized everything you can't have a mixed economy only the united states can have a mixed economy and mixed economies going to be basically military technology and then oddly to make china and other countries dependent so. china. has no intention of letting america dismantle its economy and right now you have the ideological attack washington saying you've got to privatized your schools so that your students will have to take on the student debt just like american and us to privatized your education so you can have as rotten an expensive transportation system as one but. you can just as actually commit economic suicide what you please do that and. join the west and china has no one to china says there was a lot of discussion about we don't want to do what the russians. have because the russians have never read marx they didn't understand capitalism and had no idea what was in store for them when they let neoliberals plan their economy in the nineteen ninety china has maintained a. dual income and mixed economy with the public sector so it's going to continue to do

i must say, if these had been the days of prime minister thatcher, and chief whip jopling, for that matterid anything to that effect would have found themselves in a room behind the speaker's chair with a letter already written out, which they would be called upon to sign without delay, and further, in this whole question of credibility, as the result of what many people have thought, the increased expenditure proposed in relation to the national health service, the chancellor is now, it is said, telling his cabinet colleagues that there is no more money. it is hardly the way in which to go into a summit of this importance. he too turned to the role of russia. he has twin objectives. the first is to undermiine nato and the other is to destabilise the european union. i would argue that we are helping to bring the latter of these about ourselves. and that president trump has so far done a great deal in respect to the first. lord campbell. now, they're polluting, exploitative, potentially dangerous, probably unlicensed and almost certainly near you. mps have been investigating an explosion in

perfectly thatcher. stuart: okay. you compare ronald reagan and donald trump. go. >> yes.onald reagan is a much more gracious, much more gentlemanly person in his negotiations. donald trump is in your face. he's a much more aggressive person in these conversations. and i think it comes from family background, it comes from personal wealth. ronald reagan was not really wealthy, and he hung out with a lot of people who were. very major industrialists. and donald trump is the industrialist. finish the rest of the group in the reagan sort of inner circle were much more like trump than reagan was. stuart: okay. >> and that is really just a style difference. but i see the two very similar in their strategies, their actions and the goals they want to achieve. stuart: all right. art laffer, former reagan economist himself. art, thanks very much, indeed, sir. >> it is my pleasure, stuart. thanks for having me. stuart: now, before the president actually left for the canada trip, he held an impromptu press conference i guess you could call it. he covered a variety of subjects. he was

during the thatcher and major years, the annual average real growth rate was 3.3%.der tony blair and gordon brown. for the conservative, lib dem coalition government, it dropped to 1.1%. and the figure since david cameron and theresa may have been in charge has gone up to 2.3%. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake is here. much political argument has gone into arriving at this? a lot, particularly between the prime minister, the chancellor and the health secretary. there have been weeks and weeks of talks and negotiations which we are told went on late into the night on friday. they will finally resolved allowing the prime minister to make this announcement today. neither side you have the treasury arguing the increase in funding should be nearer 296 increase in funding should be nearer 2% the nhs budget and nhs leaders on the other arguing for something closer to 4%. we have this figure of 3.7% of the nhs budget increasing over five years. a lot of numbers are around this morning, a lot of figures. it's difficult to make sense of how much this amounts to. if

attacks on political enemies were famed, and in brexit he found a cause he first took up when margaret thatcheranded to him in terms of longevity in the industry and his commercial success. but i think he has been an utterly malign force in british media culture, i have always felt that paul dacre is the worst of british values posing as the best. i think there has been a poisoning in our culture, of which she is a very big part. dacre, who even today often leads the office at 10pm, is stepping back to take a new role at the parent company. it is unclear when his successor will be announced. print journalism announced. printjournalism is a trade rather than a profession, and paul dacre was the master craftsman. his intuitive understanding of his audience and often ferocious conservatism made him a figure of hatred and all in equal measure. to use a cliche he might have cut out, he is the last of his kind. british newspapers have none of the power they had from paul dacre entered the trade. as the most influential editor of his time, he had an impact on culture which none of his su ccesso i’s on

during the thatcher and major years, the annual average real growth rate was 3.3%.david cameron and theresa may have been in charge has gone up to 2.3%. earlier our political correspondent, jonathan blake told me where the extra £20 billion in funding for the nhs is likely to come from. the prime minister said that it will be funded in part by depressive dividend. the money that uk spent on the eu, paying into the eu budget as a member. that money she says will be able to be spent elsewhere after we leave the european union. straightaway econmists piling in today saying that the brexit dividend does not exist because the government has already accounted for a lot of the money. that it spends on membership of the eu paying into the budget every year and also if you look at the broader picture, the amount of money the government will have available to it in the short term at least as a result of brexit is smaller, not bigger because of falling tax revenues, economic growth and other factors. little detail from the prime minster. she has said that the brexit dividend a

let such a major government /majord -- the thatcher government managed 3.6%. so far her predecessor david cameron at the right honorable lady have managed 1.9%. why therefore, are we meant to be happy and amazed by her unfunded ledge to deliver an increase of 3.4%, which is under the annual average achieved since the nhs was first created? >> hear, hear. pm. may: can i say to the honorable lady, that as a the chiefaid from executive of the nhs, he said that this is the funding that the nhs needs. but crucially, giving a multiyear funding settlement based on a ten year long-term nhs thell give the stability and certainty that it needs to be able to introduce the transformation we all want care. in patient and we will also be ensuring that unlike what happened under the labor already, this money will be seen in improved patient care. >> order. points of order, after the statement. we have a statement from the secretary of health and social care in a moment.

merry christmas, maggie thatcher. billy elliot. stuart: billy elliot?to her, an attack on maggie thatcher but cleverly done. stuart: it is? i'm going to go and see it. where were we? the tax, nothing wrong with taxing corporations to make available -- >> taxing corporations, it's either the shareholders or customers who pay that. you know basics economics 101 better than almost anyone i know. you're making it sound like a faceless thing is paying the money. stuart: you realize i'm just having a go at it. >> yes! [laughter]. stuart: i'm very glad the tax is being repealed. never being introduced in the first place. >> of course. stuart: i just want to know, what do the socialists of seattle going to do now? >> well, throw the representatives out of office and get more socialists in office? i don't know what they're going to do. it's fascinating this happened in record time. stuart: lizzie, am i not right in saying when the tax was passed the entire city council wa in favor. >> the majority. stuart: the majority. now up for re-election and they're not, th

. >> jon: joining us now, miles gardner for the thatcher center for freedom.reedom means free trade for a lot of people. does the president have it right? is the trade free and fair between united states and the g7 partners? >> well, i think firstly, the president's approach in applying u.s. tariffs is not going to be helpful. i think this will result in job losses here in the united states, actually, as a result of likely retaliation from europe and also from canada as well as mexico in addition to that. at the same time, i think that the reality is that there are a lot of protectionist trade barriers in europe, also in canada as well. there's trade barriers here in the united states. so i think the solution to protectionism is not more protectionism. i do believe that the president should be calling really for free trade rather than raising of tariffs. without a doubt, you will see many european countries that are doing a lot of saber rattling right now and looking for a trade war. so this only encourages protectionists within europe. i don't think this is g

it is very unpopular and maggie thatcher said sooner or later, you will have other people's money and in california at the point where we're running out of other people's money and people realize we can't spend our way out of this. we need to cut it to make our schools work, do something about unfunded pension liability and so forth. david: help me on this. they're against certain things but in favor of candidates that are for those things that they're against. explain it to me. >> it's like the bullet train. voters pass the stupid bullet train that is supposed to cost 44 million. experts expect it will cost well over $1 billion. but democrats still want they just want somebody else to pay for it. half the country believes it's a free lunch and the other half believe the other half is stopping them from eating it. i think all live in california. david: larry, there is also the sanctuary state law which more and more youookt a and all those pinpricks are beginning to add up of t cities and towns against this thing. there are these other issues that the people are against though they ke

trudeau lectures margaret thatcher. reagan takes offense to it and goes over and apologizes to her.d not tend to air his grievances in a public forum. he does it privately, i want to go to this photo which has become iconic from the weekend. in a way, brooke. an amazing photo, you know this guy. what's so interesting to me, this is sort of a rorschach test of what you think of donald trump. people who like donald trump say, this is great. he's not bowing down to angela merkel. that's mack roan. shinzo abe. john bolton sort of there for the ride. if you don't like donald trump, what you're saying is this is exactly -- this is the america donald trump promised and we do not want. >> you would argue, sort of petulant there, what else do you have to tell me. mack roan, can you only see here looks a little bewildered. abe's face looks like me when i walk into my local pharmacy trying to fill a prescription. there's only one cashier this whole thing, i do think these pictures matter. merkel's office tweeted this out so they clearly like this dynamic here, her standing up to him. >> but wh

steve joins me now you had a busy day yesterday at downing street >> i did >> you were in maggie thatcher's living room? >> her old study a large pore tral of ttrait of t lady herself looking down on me. >> talking about this withdrawal vote you tried to get more concrete answers out of the prime minister yesterday as to whether or not the parliament will have a final say on the brexit vote what did she tell you? >> the prime minister is under pressure from europe, of course, from her own party, from the opposition, from the fact she had a disastrous election campaign when she went to the country and didn't get her conservative majority. so every vote matters for the prime minister every vote could be what we call a confidence vote. the withdrawal bill, the great repeal bill, it was european withdrawal bill, now it's just a withdrawal bill. this went to the house of lords. the house of lords said we want this amendment, this amendment it came back to the house of commons. on all of those she pretty much has a vote to try and get the government's blueprint for brexit withdrawal from the eu o

the big example is british airports, all privately owned, after thatcher came in, there were talks of privatizing in the united states during the 1980's. it comes up periodically. in the united states we have stuck with the public model. there are people who called for privatization all the time. everyonei would remind of a little thing called the dubai ports deal. one of the reasons congress decided this was not a good thing, why should we have our ports being operated by foreign companies? capital is global. the british airports are owned by a spanish company. there is my primer on airport history. [applause] >> i want to thank the national history center and it is an honor to be in company with these two great historians, zach and janet and to be in the company of you advising our public servants on how to give us the best infrastructure future we can have. that infrastructure future is dependent upon a past we do not understand well. more than that i would say, the past we have grown up with about surface transportation in this country is a past created in part to justify the stat
