fascinating they may have thought about what theresa - term. e was standing for labour in the election. also the national chair of the labour movement for europe. thank you forjoining us. listening to this election campaign so far, you would think a brexited matter, everyone is trying to avoid talking about it? it is matter, everyone is trying to avoid talking about it?— talking about it? it is interesting, renuinel talking about it? it is interesting, genuinely l _ talking about it? it is interesting, genuinely i talk _ talking about it? it is interesting, genuinely i talk to _ talking about it? it is interesting, genuinely i talk to candidates - genuinely i talk to candidates across the country. we have 55 standing endorsed by the labour movement for europe and existing candidates like myself who are part of it. it is starting to come up on the doorstep. it is coming up because of the everyday problems it is causing. businesses can no longer trade with our nearest neighbours. people finding trouble travelling and some of the problems created b

theresa may had her calamity in 2017. that was the real turning point in this country.ion and they said, "we are going to win this election, let's get the public to endorse something that in different times might be unpalatable." and it collapsed their general election campaign. i am sure there are people in both party hos thinking in an ideal world whether we would put detail, complex, tricky plans on social care in there, but why would any party strategist do that after what happened to theresa may in 2017? anybody who works in a hospital or in the health service as a gp or even social workers, anybody would tell you this is something that is having huge problems, it has terrible impacts on families' lives and that goes around the uk because health is devolved. there are really profound problems in this country with how we care for our vulnerable and elderly. it is not simple for any politician, but it does look like we are going into a general election where nobody has got the guts to put forward anything very significant. in the last six months we have repeatedly as

but certainly in my period, the single worst period was those theresa may years , particularly theresaicularly when we had no majority at all. and it was hand to mouth as you were trying to take this really big decision. and parliament actually really failed to step up to the plate. you know, it should have tried to find consensus and to have respected the result, you know, but in the event it was just bitterly divided and you had a major chunk of, you know, the labour party, the lib dems and some conservatives, i'm afraid, who were really trying to resist that democratic result. and it was, you know, for a while it was, you know, for a while it was it was a question mark about whether our democracy could, you know, actually survive it and whether it now you made a big decision midway through your parliamentary career as a up and coming mp, going places. >> you decided to go against the wishes of number 10, go against the wishes of your friend david cameron and back leave in the referendum rather than remain. how hard was that as a decision? >> well, it was quite hard because i'd been

theresa may didn't do it. borisjohnson didn't do it. liz truss didn't.nak didn't do it. that's not quite right, what you said. actually, we've just had the numbers for last last year, so the first full year that i was prime minister. it showed that net migration was down 10% from the levels that i inherited. and this year so far, the number of visas that we've issued in the main categories is down by a quarter because of the reforms that i brought in. massively higher than the promise that was originally made by the conservatives. well, your point to me was that i hadn't done anything about it. that's not right. i've instituted reforms that last year meant the numbers were down by 10%, as we've seen. but this year, the number of visas issued are down by a quarter. the forecasts are now four net migration to halve. and again, yes, that's the past. this election�*s about the future. i've got a clear plan, with a legal migration cap to guarantee that the numbers continue falling. labour have not matched that. they don't have any plan to bring the numbers do

theresa may was completely wrong to try and slash community pharmacies, wasn't she ? yes or no?>> well, we know that. well, i think community pharmacy has a really important part in our health care system, both on our high street but also the expertise, of course. so the former prime minister was wrong. and why can't we just admit that? so the well, what i'm trying to say is that i this pharmacy first scheme is a brand new scheme. it has come about because of rishi sunak's experience of having. >> i know, but theresa may tried to do the complete opposite so she was wrong. it's okay to admit that we can all admit that now. no no. >> well, no, the what i'm trying to say is that we know that pharmacies actually, we have some well, four out of five people across england are within a 20 minute walk of a pharmacy. so i'm not familiar with the policy that you're espousing . policy that you're espousing. >> she tried to slash community pharmacies. >> i'm doing everything i can. okay. well, i'm not familiar with that policy. i'm being honest. i just i with that policy. i'm being honest.

if you think about theresa may's 27 —— 2017 campaign.licy which was about the dementia tax. we can see that manifestos can impact the direction. i think they are probably unlikely to impact them in rishi sunak�*s favour. but we hear is that voters are not going to be judging rishi sunak on what he promises to do partly because most of them don't think they will be in power after the election but mostly because voters say we are notjudging you on what you say you're going to do, but what you say you're going to do, but what you say you're going to do, but what you have already done and that is notjust rishi sunak�*s administration, but the previous 1a years. and secondly, we can see that the labour party strategy has been... not about winning new people over, it is about not scaring the horses. i would over, it is about not scaring the horses. iwould imagine over, it is about not scaring the horses. i would imagine we would not see a lot of bold things from the labour party connect i'm not going to say... it is about not scaring anyone of

digits when it came to the final vote share, and that was the moment that actually finally when theresa may that was the trigger. and i think what that reminds me of is that so often, as laura was hinting at, it's not the actual electoral performance of reform or brexit party or ukip or whatever they're called, it's the effect they have on everyone else. and then the other thing that makes me think of is just that opinion polls, 0k, they're sciencey, but there's a bit of art in there as well because the pollsters have to use theirjudgment when they kind of weight their samples to work out if they're speaking to enough people to represent the whole country. and also when there's something new, there's kind of less of a back... and reform is kind of new because it's not exactly the same as the brexit party or ukip. when there's not like a back catalogue of data to draw on, they have to use theirjudgment even more, which just reinforces this whole thing about the point of these opinion polls is they're snapshots that then can affect the behaviour of everyone else, which then can influence the

broadband with that theresa may conference supply deal theresa may conference supply deal.n because of that money, they've they've really went down the route of look at what we've done rather than what we can do in the future. more about not shredding the unionist vote. because, of course, as we've spoken about before, many unionist parties standing in areas where there are fine , fine areas where there are fine, fine lines of losing the seat or not, and, gavin robinson, he really is up against it because of course, he's just the new leader of the dup after sir jeffrey donaldson's court appearances and we found out today that one of those court appearances for sir jeffrey is next. one is due to be on july the 3rd, of which the dup are not too happy with at all, because you can imagine the reporting that will go on there. so it is a very strange campaign . the manifesto campaign. the manifesto launched. he concentrated on things like education, infrastructure, schooling, all those things that you would imagine that any politician should , be looking at at this should, be loo

the institute of government said it was a sign that she wants to "resurrect theresa may's chequers dealecause brexit hasn't really played a part in this campaign until now. it is hasn't really played a part in this campaign until now. it is strange, reall , campaign until now. it is strange, really. given _ campaign until now. it is strange, really, given that _ campaign until now. it is strange, really, given that it _ campaign until now. it is strange, really, given that it has _ campaign until now. it is strange, really, given that it has has - campaign until now. it is strange, really, given that it has has takenj really, given that it has has taken so much of the political oxygen over the last eight years. speaking to voters on the doorstep, it isn't a priority. they wanted, the nhs, immigration, the economy, but they don't want to talk about brexit. of course there is going to be a fear amongst brexiteers that labour will drag us into closer ties, having a closer union with the eu when they come into power. anything that the shadow chancellor says that might add fuel to that fire

if you think about theresa may's manifesto.ught she was going to storm it and she ended up was going to storm it and she ended up losing her majority withjeremy corbyn two points per behind. that was put down to very unpopular manifesto policy which relates to the dementia tax. we can see that manifestos can impact the direction of a race. i think here that they are probably unlikely to impact them in rishi sunak�*s favour so that firstly, that we hear enough focus group and quite a lot voters are not going to bejudging soon act group and quite a lot voters are not going to be judging soon act on what the conservative party will do, partly, because most people do not think they will be in power after the election but mostly because voters are notjudging them on what they are saying they're going to do but what you have already done. that is notjust rishi sunak�*s current demonstration by the previous ia of conservative government. secondly, labour strategy has been, is not necessarily going to win —— trying to win people over,

this is this format is the format where the magic money tree came on theresa may's. ..nt in that campaign in 2017. and the result of that election didn't go as theresa may wanted it. she lost her majority. it's also the format where tony blair was visibly shocked by the audience saying that get people couldn't get a doctor's appointment whenever they rang the surgery. and you might remember it's where ed miliband stumbled off the stage and that made news. so, there's a lot of nerves about this. so, they've come in, they've had a look, they've got themselves familiar with the environment, but it's much different when the buzz and the adrenaline of the audience are here. well, there are always two important venues we have these big tv moments during an electron campaign. the venue with the politicians are going to speaking, this case to the questions i'm audience, and the spin room, wherejournalists questions i'm audience, and the spin room, where journalists and politicians gather to watch and respond to what does happen, so over here you can see other broadcasters as we

so when theresa may got , second.emy corbyn got around 40, it was only a three point gap and therefore it's a very tight result. even though the shares of the vote were quite high. so you can sort of see how actually apathy is helping keir starmer here. but and here's the big but for the labour party and the incoming keir starmer government , in all likelihood they're not going to have a long honeymoon . going to have a long honeymoon. things are still going to feel the same and very, very quickly we're going to see if labour get in. >> there will be no poverty . vie >> there will be no poverty. vie oh yeah, the nhs will be restored overnight. there will be no homelessness on the streets, taxes will somehow fall and spending will somehow rise. do you know who was conspicuous by her absence today didn't stop penny mordaunt or indeed her blow dry tom. interesting. when kemi was there. yeah, but not penny. >> very very interesting . well >> very very interesting. well she's got she's got more marginal seats. >> we've got

and that's theresa may because when theresa may was prime minister, donald trump took her hand . tookat the white house. it was bizarre. i thought it was highly inappropriate. but i think donald trump is highly inappropriate. but she had the good grace to accept the hand. and she smiled and she went along with it. she went with it and it did look awkward. >> but it's so much it's so rude if someone comes in to give you the double kiss or something and you pull away, it puts them in a really, really uncomfortable position. and i think that camilla, just watching the footage, i actually felt quite upset for brigitte macron, who, you know , so it's ungracious. you know, so it's ungracious. >> it was a really spontaneous gesture. >> it's just spontaneous. >> it's just spontaneous. >> we may not be. >> we may not be. >> macron can handle it. she she witnessed the crimea war. she's got a thick skin. i wouldn't worry about it, man. have you so have you ever tried to go in for the double kiss? have you had an awkward moment with a lady? irania owens do triple kisses. >> we're very greedy. now

i do wonder if, if keir starmer perhaps is starting to sound a little theresa may ish, andifs sound ash, and it's only because , rishi and it's only because, rishi sunak also does that it's not particularly picked up upon . but particularly picked up upon. but christopher hope, really, really fascinating interview that you conducted with the leader of his majesty's loyal opposition earlier today , look forward to earlier today, look forward to what you have more as the evening progresses. christopher hope there our political editor. well after the break, i'll be speaking to yet another one of tony blair's former advisors, as well as my most intellectual panel well as my most intellectual panel, plus , could this be the panel, plus, could this be the end of our british constitution as we know it ? welcome back to state of the nafion welcome back to state of the nation . i'm tom harwood, and the nation. i'm tom harwood, and the time is 823. now. we've been discussing the labour party's manifesto, including what it means for the overall tax burden. but it's not just tax, tax, tax. there's

and that's theresa may because when theresa may was prime minister, donald trump took her hand . tookat the white house. it was bizarre. i thought it was highly inappropriate. but i think donald trump is highly inappropriate. but she had the good grace to accept the hand. and she smiled and she went along with it. she went with it and it did look awkward. >> but it's so much it's so rude if someone comes in to give you the double kiss or something and you pull away, it puts them in a really, really uncomfortable position. and i think that camilla, just watching the footage, i actually felt quite upset for brigitte macron, who, you know , so it's ungracious. you know, so it's ungracious. >> it was a really spontaneous gesture. >> it's just spontaneous. >> it's just spontaneous. >> we may not be. >> we may not be. >> macron can handle it. she she witnessed the crimea war. she's got a thick skin. i wouldn't worry about it, man. have you so have you ever tried to go in for the double kiss? have you had an awkward moment with a lady? irania owens do triple kisses. >> we're very greedy. now

waiting this have not just gone up under rishi sunak, they went up under liz truss, boris johnson, theresa mayt up under david cameron. conservative prime minister is for 40 years long before covid, long before strikes, have put nhs waiting lists up. p.m. sunak: the nhs is undeniably been under pressure for a while, that was exacerbated by the pandemic. most reasonable people can see that. but this election is about the future, where we go from here. we are investing record sums in the nhs, training more doctors and nurses, doing things innovatively, expanding the range of services that people can go and see their pharmacist for. i'm the son of a pharmacist and gp, so something i grew up with. we are saying if you have a sore throat or your infection now, you don't need that gp appointment, you can go straight to your pharmacist and get the medicines you need. that is an example of making care faster for people and it will make a difference. it will take time to recover from the pandemic but we are on the right track. nick: when people look at that record, they think it is all right for conser

because he thinks that he is standing as rishi sunak, not as the combined effect of david cameron, theresa mayruss and rishi sunak. it is difficult for him as people feel like this is an election that is delivering a verdict on their conservative party. you are asking me as a voter, i need 19 years. i need 19 years and if you vote labour, you are going to vote than for the rest of your life. you will never have another party. when you look at the tax question, what we have nailed on this programme, taxes are going up under labour and taxes have gone up under the tories and will continue to do so if they stay in because of the threshold and because of the fact they have raised taxes to the highest burden since the 1940s. those things are both true at the same time, if you are a voter, if you did think it was about tax, labour has ruled out their three big levers of tax raising. that has been one of the big dynamics of the campaign, the conservative party doing this sort of raffle of taxes where you spin the ball and what comes out. inheritance tax on farmland. will you rule that out? i think in

it's the lowest vote share since the end of theresa may's premiership and represents labour's largest lead since rishi sunak became pm. then the home secretary has called for a full and urgent explanation after a police car rammed into a cow in west london. a warning the video we're about to show you contains images of the injured animal, though, so yeah, it's not a nice watch, to be honest with you. and we've made the nasty bits not their right. and history lectures are at the university of liverpool have been advised to problematise whiteness and heterosexuality in their seminars. who on earth thought this was a good idea .7 but this this was a good idea? but this show is nothing without you and your views. and this is my test. remembering this , let me know remembering this, let me know your thoughts on all the stories we discussing today or anything you want to talk about. basically by visiting gbnews.com forward slash yourself. got it. and join the conversation or message me on our socials. really easy @gbnews. but first it's the news headlines with santa. >> dawn, thank you very

theresa may had the same problem when she talked about running through fields of wheat as her naughtiestces, politicians like to be able to get across their personal backstory. and we certainly hear rishi sunak talking a lot, don't we, generally, about his mum being a pharmacist and his dad a gp. and likewise, keir starmer — son of a toolmaker, etc. they want to do that. but i think they are also aware that there are dangers in doing that, too. now, next on the media show, we're going to talk about the netflix series baby reindeer. and if you're a regular viewer, you'll know this isn't the first time that we've talked about this. but there's a good reason we keep coming back to this story because it raises a number of issues that are relevant, whether you've watched it or not. plenty of people won't have seen the programme but there is actually a wider question for us all because there are rules for traditional broadcasters when it comes to how real people are treated. but with the advent of the streamers and the fragmentation of the media, you know, the law, the guidance looks like it's

it's difficult to judge if this was one of these defining moments of the campaign, for example theresa may talking to some candidates about that, they said, you could feel the whole mood in the country changing at that point. they don't think it feels quite the same by rishi sunak having to apologise for leaving the elevations early.— to apologise for leaving the elevations early. thank you very much. elevations early. thank you very much- -- _ elevations early. thank you very much. -- leading _ elevations early. thank you very much. -- leading the _ elevations early. thank you very i much. -- leading the celebrations earl . and, for viewers in the uk, there'll be more from the campaign trail, with laura kuennsberg, tomorrow morning. battered in the polls, horrified by the d—day blunder, how can the tories get back on track? we'll hear from the man making conservatives nervous — leader of reform, nigel farage. and we'll speak to labour, the snp and conservatives, too. hope to see you here on bbc one as the campaign hots up at 9am tomorrow. the wife of the missing tv presenter michael mosle

theresa may then had a plan that had some merits and some negatives, but she could have done that, thengot her majority ditched. then borisjohnson had a plan that was then also ditched. and guess what, who was also ditched? borisjohnson. exactly. so, you know, social care has been for years and years and years and years and years ducked by politicians. and there are lots of people around the country, including people who work in the nhs, who say you cannot solve the bigger problems if you don't solve social care. but the other thing that's interesting on health this morning is that the nuffield trust, which is a very well—respected health research organisation, said that neither the tory plans nor the labour plans will actually leave the nhs in a good state. they say that it would be imposing more tightness, more stretch of the cash than during the austerity years. yes. so we've asked hugh pym, the bbc�*s health editor, to have a look at what the parties are promising and if the sums add up. we've seen all sorts of pledges in the manifestos so far on improving gp services and dentistry

when theresa may did., that the reform party is effectively the vehicle for nigel farage and his character at the moment? i think once you get rid of that, i think it begins to dissipate and this is my issue that i have long term with reform . it's long term with reform. it's a cult of personality. now, i don't think that that's a bad personality necessarily. he's a very charismatic person. he has lots of policies that chime a great deal with the public, but right now it is basically just him. nobody is going out as intelligent and as interesting as they might be. ben habib is not getting people out on the stump. neither is richard tice . stump. neither is richard tice. they are not the big draws, it's nigel farage. if you sort of have him subsumed by the conservatives, that's that. >> no. what he's not going to be subsumed by the conservatives. if there's any party that's going to be subsumed, it's the conservatives into reform. you can have this. this is like a hostile tories have 100 seats and reform ha

it was almost like that theresa may moment when she was talking about being naughty running through fieldse enough to get his personality across? i mean, there are two ways _ personality across? i mean, there are two ways of — personality across? i mean, there are two ways of looking _ personality across? i mean, there are two ways of looking at - personality across? i mean, there are two ways of looking at this. i personality across? i mean, there l are two ways of looking at this. one is looking at the polls where labour, every poll pretty much is showing labour around 20 points ahead. there is a bit of difference there between different polling companies but labour are ahead in the polls and all of the predictions are getting on for a labour majority. when you look at the lido ratings, though, so the number of people who give them favourable and unfavourable ratings —— the leader ratings. keir starmer is way ahead of rishi sunak but his poll ratings are still slightly negative and i think what that shows what we found in the local elections last month is that there is a very anti—conser

this is this format is the format where the magic money tree came on theresa may's...ng that get people couldn't get a doctor's appointment whenever they rang the surgery. and you might remember it's where ed miliband stumbled off the stage and that made news. so, there's a lot of nerves about this. so, they've come in, they've had a look, they've got themselves familiar with the environment, but it's much different when the buzz and the adrenaline of the audience are here. we arejoined by we are joined by the snp we arejoined by the snp campaign to director. what are you doing at this stage? i5 director. what are you doing at this state? , . director. what are you doing at this stae? , ., ., 4' director. what are you doing at this state? , ., ., ~ ., stage? is all the work done, in terms of tonight. _ stage? is all the work done, in terms of tonight. in _ stage? is all the work done, in terms of tonight. in one - stage? is all the work done, in | terms of tonight. in one sense, stage? is all the work done, in - terms of tonight. in one sense, we have an easy pitch. we

gordon brown government, the cameron and clegg government, the following cameron government and the theresa mayovernments were generally on issues that affected people prosper but lives pretty constructive. i have to say, i was part of those discussions and i thought they were generally in a pretty constructive environment. after the arrival of borisjohnson intergovernmental relationships i would essentially describe it as disrespectful. we didn't change, they did. so if sir keir starmer is saying, should he become prime minister, that he is keen to have a serious, mature, respectful engagement with the scottish government, he will have absolutely no issues with me. i think people know me well enough to know i am a serious player when it comes to these negotiations. i did after all managed to negotiate our fiscal freedom which was enormously beneficial for scotland. so fiscal freedom which was enormously beneficialfor scotland. so i am interested in this negotiation. but i also know what disrespectful relationships look like and they have existed since borisjohnson walked into 10 downing street

modern times, theresa may in modern times, theresa may in modern times, theresa may refused becauseshine. and she thought that in the cameron—clegg brown one, was it brown or brown? that's right. cameron hadn't done at all well, and she was worried. so she sent amber rudd , which i thought was amber rudd, which i thought was a bit. she hadn't got the nuts to do it . yeah. to do it. yeah. >> just showing how impactful these debates can be. it's probably cost biden his presidency because he's going to be booted out, isn't he? >> well, he's got a week to save. >> i'm amazed that i think that's always been their plan. >> i am amazed that they even would pretend that this guy is fit for election . well, listen, fit for election. well, listen, i will read you the candidate list for leamington spa. just a moment. but first, the half time whistle is approaching as england trail behind one nil against slovakia, so we will talk about that. but i'll do the candidates for leamington, warwick and leamington. i have the candidates for you. is, laurie james steele for the uk independence party or

rishi sunak, they went up under liz truss, they went up under borisjohnson, they went up under theresa mayfor ia years — long before covid, long before strikes — have put nhs waiting lists up. well, the nhs has undeniably been under pressure for a while, and that was exacerbated by what happened in the pandemic. i think most reasonable people can see that. but this election is about the future. it's, where do we go from here? and as i said, we are investing record sums in the nhs, recruiting and training more doctors and nurses. aubrey allegretti, if i can come back to you. what did you make of the performance on the nhs from sunak? i the performance on the nhs from sunak? ~' ., , ., , the performance on the nhs from sunak? ~' . , ., , ., sunak? i think he was really sort of fiuuhtin sunak? i think he was really sort of fiaahtin a sunak? i think he was really sort of fighting a battle — sunak? i think he was really sort of fighting a battle about _ sunak? i think he was really sort of fighting a battle about record - sunak? i think he was really sort of fighting a battle about record on i

we heard this before under theresa may and david cameron, caps were searched, it failed, whether thelained by labour. instead of the rwanda plan they will invest that money into a new border force, a new unit and a returns unit. returns are down under this government and labour will return more people but they say should not be here and stop they say should not be here and stop the people smugglers and smash the gangs, as keir starmer has often said. so essential differences at the moment, they are both talking about bringing down net migration in that respect. reform, as we are hearing now, are proposing a warning, one out policy, an immediate stop on everywhere and one in, one out. that will really affect the care sector and affect british businesses. we have heard of a tax on british businesses who want to hire foreign workers, that will not go down well with british businesses.— go down well with british businesses. ., ., ., businesses. you have outlined the different policies _ businesses. you have outlined the different policies on _ businesses. you have outlined the different

it's by savanta. >> and it shows the lowest vote share for the tories since the end of theresa may'ss not just the savanta poll. the latest mrp poll, and they're sort of a lot more detailed. if you like, and a lot bigger 22,000 people involved in that one that reckons the conservatives would have only 72 seats come july fifth, giving labour a majority of 262. >> it's going to be fascinating what does happen in the real poll and debating what happens next on july the 5th? don't you think so ? joining us live from think so? joining us live from westminster ahead of her programme, which of course is at 930, is gb news presenter camilla tominey. hello camilla, i can't think what you're going to talk about today. >> yeah, i mean, both of those polls are so cataclysmic, frankly, for the tories being reduced to 72 seats is basically electoral wipe—out, isn't it? and this is the crazy thing as we've seen the surge in reform support. but also to his credit, madcap schemed ed davey who keeps on slipping and sliding around the election campaign. he's put on the numbers for the liberal democrats
