tony blair opened britain's doors to migrant workers from to europe. as a european union grew larger and larger and the needs of capital grew more and more demanding. in 2007 flag reluctantly stepped aside for golden brown. and a year later, the financial deregulation put in place during the liberal revolution of the 1980s, helped bring about a credit crisis that almost broke the global economy. gordon brown was forced to bail out failing british banks with british taxpayers, money, crowns climb, as prime minister didn't last long. he was voted out in 2010 and replaced by new conservative prime minister david cameron. cameron set out to leave the country still reeling in the wake of a financial disaster. and a coalition government that had set it fights on one thing above everything else would use the nation's debt. neither pre orthodoxy is that you must push your overall levels of that down is past the basic, nearly april policy in response to the global financial crisis. and so this is where we go stereotype from the idea that we must slash public sp

tony blair pulled the labor party away from its socialist moors and anchored it to the free market. what helped pain the new labor government has progressive with social values such as an outward embrace of multiculturalism? no matter what background go back. all that follow the bottom. one is a great idea that by 2001 standing up for the country was also being claimed by a resurgent for right now reorganized around the british national party. the b and p. b and p's writes for white slogan hood over, we struck home, we've got to do some tip to sign up for ourselves and they the only paper telpast ha ha, having formed it's based in the south of england to be in p looked to make gains farther north, in the places left behind by the near liberal revolution. the far right started to have demonstrations and places of concentration, most of the residents. i chose some places in these areas which had never recovered from the economic hits. the fact you are some folks bradford burnley older than which thus longstanding muslim command chase almost all of south asian origin and all. so this g

job will be to ensure that the cabinet and mps feel more involved in decision—making, although tony blair'sioned whether a demanding full—time role as a government official really can be combined with the job of an mp. after so—called partygate, borisjohnson had to promise his mps behind closed doors that he'd make significant changes to the way that downing street was run. and i'm told there will be an even bigger staff shake—up announced in the coming week. but he's also being pressed by seniorfigures in his party to make changes to his cabinet, to look beyond his natural allies. and i'm told that those discussions, or perhaps i should say, negotiations, are already under way. it is actually an opportunity for a reset, which i hope the prime minister takes, because it's a very important part of his premiership, that he actually builds bridges, notjust between downing street and the parliamentary party but across the parliamentary party. but will this be enough? more mps are considering submitting letters of no confidence and potential rivals to the prime minister seem to be limbering up.

of state for northern ireland, this is about recognising that gordon brown, as prime minister, tony blairem knew that at these sorts of moments, it is the prime minister who has to go in to bat, it is the prime minister who should be in northern ireland right now with the taoiseach from northern ireland and with the european union representatives because fundamentally this is not about the dup or the first minister, it's about the cobbled together protocol that put a border down the irish sea, ora border that put a border down the irish sea, or a border across ireland, northern ireland and the republic of ireland, and this was not properly resolved. the prime minister is the only person who can do this. and of course, the prime minister cannot do anything at the moment because he has lost his authority and is totally consumed with trying to rescue his personal position as prime minister in downing street. but that wouldn't stop him getting on a plane and having conversations, though, would it?— though, would it? well, it shouldn't do. it though, would it? well, it shouldn't do- it didn't

and it's been a long term plan of various british governments from tony blair on with. so these are the, the plans which are being tied to the back of the management of the panoramic, which i think and related to defend any more about elation control. and i think of what is happening in the fall and go because i mean people are stupid from schools or kids who are not maxine a to the are putting quarantine and the reason of all citizens over a lab. i'm going to be level the reason for discrimination, which is the absolute for the and to goes to show. i certainly think we're moving towards the end game. we don't chromebook what happens in the future if and when that happens at all, nobody can possibly know. so, you know, governance count, keep people lives on the restrictions just because something might happen in 61218 months time. so that being the case, i think they do need to bear in mind that things are getting better and a lot better and starts to move towards opening back up again and moving to the world. how things were 2 years ago in terms of the science of medic

and at the same moment you have somebody like tony blair coming in and you had this like big election campaign in 1097, then the slogan was, things can only get better. i guess the question is which kind of route he took and what the things really did get better for people in this country. the world of high frequency share trading, exposed. i had this engine that was basically trading. i could, a last $30000000.00 was a terrifying experience. how artificial intelligence has raised the stakes and risks on the money markets is markets go faster, faster. we're opening up a possibility for an instability, for no, no use with money bought on al jazeera. in a series of original documentary, al jazeera correspondence explore the stories which have marked their lives and careers. gabrielle is on the cover, the tragic story of 2 reinforced activist, brutally killed fighting the devastation brought about by loggers and ranchers. returning to the amazon, gabriel learned how the campaign for sustainable development brought them on a collision course with those who sought to profit from the forest

it's worse than tony blair got up until his last months as prime minister.rse than the resay may got until she pretty much got booted out in 2019 no prime minister has ever really managed to come back from the kind of polling we're currently seeing for the prime minister. the big however i put in there is while things are particularly bad for conservatives, there's not a lot of trust and faith in the labour party either. they don't necessarily trust the labour party still to run the economy. they're still not convinced that starmar is strong enough for the top job. the labour party needs to do more but the conservative party's numbers are pretty bad. >> very quickly before we wrap up, what are you looking out for in the nt, say, week, as this story starts to cut through with voters and they start drawing conclusions about it? >> big thing i'm probably looking for is actually numbs that are completely unrelated to the story a all. the question for the next -- the next election won't be fought on what people think of policies. it's going to be fought on all th

and at the same moment you have somebody like tony blair coming in and you had this like big election in, in 1097. and the slogan was, things can only get better. i guess the question is, which kind of routes he took and whether things really did get better for people in this country. the corona virus has been indiscriminately selected victims. it's devastating effects of plague, every corner of the globe, transcending class creed and color. but in britain, a disproportionately high percentage of the fallen have been black or brown skins. the big picture traces the economic disparities and institutional racism that a scene united kingdom fail, it citizens, britain's true colors, part to on out jesse era. as the world's best athletes prepared for the winter olympics, stating is bracing itself with the arrival of an estimated 11000 people, kind of 0 tolerance corvette strategy. what and despite diplomatic voice, which one is which again, trying moving you the latest date is 2022 winter olympics on al jazeera. ah no charges there with me sell robin dough. reminder of all top news stories

that was that followed to a pretense a pretext that even tony blair later called a mistake, or how's that for a defense and the things that we've heard some exclusive thrown at russia from the capitals of europe and elsewhere. saying that she was a while. russia is trying to intervene or interfere everywhere that there has been a kind of a william cyber warfare. cyber campaign. being roy reached by russia, they are saying they say, even in serious or media outlets, they're talking about an operation that serrado brush planning to are you sleepy to use that assault and capture various ukrainian cities? this is all going back to the highly likely story that i ever liked so much because everything that they are seeing here, all the allegations are all followed by the words of a highly, it's highly likely, but there are no arguments, no a prescription with no actual which are no facts and nothing to show for it, since you are at the same goes for scrape out there is no evidence or or no facts, no evidence. when it comes to alex in the valley and returning the campaign against russia, tha

it didn't for tony blair. it doesn't, full stop. well, i don't accept that. great deal of harm. and this is part of the point. our constitution — i think you are seeing our constitution too legalistically, almost in an american way, whereas our constitution has an evolution and is subject to political pressures. post the gordon brown experience, i think the political pressure on a new prime minister to get a new mandate would be even bigger because the opposition would be saying constantly, "where is your mandate? "by what right do you have to make these decisions, "to push this through parliament? "by what right have you advised her majesty on who should "be your ministers?" and the party that was in office would be saying, "look what happened to gordon brown". and so... crosstalk. that's politics, though, isn't it, mr rees—mogg? i mean it is fine, you are perfectly entitled to that view. but our constitution is a political constitution. it is not a legal constitution. otherwise, we would have a codified constitution, which we don't. i hear that you have tho
