you are starting to see again the tories wa nt to starting to see again the tories want to have a quietil polling day and i think lots of people are beginning to think that things had calmed down to the point that it was just going to be going through the motions. if this story keeps going and if there is three days of nhs failures, i think it is difficult for the tories. with the sort of stories about bed shortages, the stats are in black and white, and everybody knows who the government has been and everybody can see who is responsible for that, and it's pretty difficult for that, and it's pretty difficult for them to squirm out of. as we saw johnson today, or he could really do was keep talking about the future, putting more money in and getting brexit done, and that didn't address the issue. the yorkshire post editorial for tomorrow, already online, talking to a yorkshire post reporter here just after 8pm, absolutely scathing about how the party handled this today. obviously, thatis party handled this today. obviously, that is an area which is rich, several counties in administrativ

that's about tory tactics. let's talk aboutjeremy that's about tory tactics.s that's about tory tactics. let's talk aboutjeremy corbyn's tactics, because that also makes the front page of the guardian. an interesting suggestion that people are worried he might have left some of his vulnerable seats exposed. there has beena vulnerable seats exposed. there has been a lot of questioning of labour tactics over the last couple of weeks as it became seemingly apparent, although we don't know for sure and we might have it all wrong, that they are probably not going to wina that they are probably not going to win a majority on thursday. they certainly started the election acting like they were going to. of course you are trying to win every seat in the country, but the reality is you have a limited amount of resource in terms of people and also funding, and so you pour those into your main targets, and they can be seats that you are attacking to try and win seats you are trying to defend. and labour really went all out attack early on, trying to win 80,90, out attack

it has a poll which does suggests that the tory party, the tory lead is gone from 41 to 36%. tory lead is gone from 41 to 36%. not just making the tory lead is gone from 41 to 36%. notjust making these figures are part. and the vote is that the tory vote is remaining reasonably sta ble tory vote is remaining reasonably stable but the labour party vote is beginning to pick up quite a bit. they are squeezing the live demo. i think that the telegraph is just basically reporting that but i think there is another aspect to it that i think over the last few days that the tory party has been so keen not to have people be complacent and they do not want to give the impression that this is all in the bag and they‘ re impression that this is all in the bag and they're not going to make any more efforts. so i think there is an aspect of that too. they have been wrong in the past. let us turn to the guardian with the telegraph and perhaps appealing to its core regions. a picture ofjeremy corbyn on the front page and urging voters to deliver a shot to the establishment and covering miles.

some senior tory at risk... and the environment secretary.le will look at those seeds closely. the activist on the ground but also gives information to people who want to vote tactically. either to deny borisjohnson vote tactically. either to deny boris johnson majority vote tactically. either to deny borisjohnson majority or to stop jeremy corbyn getting into number 10. it is not fact, not guaranteed, but an awful lot of intelligence which is pretty good intelligence in two ways out. there is an error in all poles. yes, of course. they say themselves that the margin of error is ranging from the doris winning 311 seat — 367. is ranging from the doris winning 311 seat - 367. at is ranging from the doris winning 311 seat — 367. at the bottom and we are in hung parliament territory. still a great deal to playful. they do better at what jonathan ashworth was saying. wanting that the labour party could find themselves winning canterbury and losing other seeds that belong to them. the tories are predicted to lose workington, this totemic seat of th

s are not your kind of standard version of what some people in labor think are tory m.p.'s they are going to be putting a lot of pressure on the prime minister to really genuinely and stare at it because they know that if boris johnson doesn't deliver on a lot of these issues they'll be out at the next election so i think it could be a very interesting time for the conservative party going to have to look at actually their policies really meaning that they're working towards an end to inequality and funding health service and let's not just going to be good enough for labor to say as emily thornberry tried to do over the tories are all just right wing. extremists because that is actually being incredibly rude about it labor voters who switched to conservatives for all sorts of reasons yes it isn't lived. vote not progressive bricks it voted for in these 4 mining areas it is an anti immigrant prick for all i think that's just nonsense and that that's just the kind of almost slur i think that people who are really in have wanted to argue that anyone who voted leave was someh

, i think one tory mp left in scotland.t he wants. that would be politically unwise in the long term but for the next year i think he has to keep to that promise that you will not be stuck with another referendum, meaning britain. is there something he can do to charm the scots at this point? no. scotland is moving away from england and wales or to put it a different way, england and wales over the last nine years has moved away from scotland. they are in many ways, certainly politically, they are unrecognisably different. england is pursuing this brexit with a big tory majority. scotland voted snp overwhelmingly. that dynamic... and remain. i think at some point, if the snp sweep the board again, people in england keep predicting that the snp‘s moment has passed and they do well again. i think they will do well again at the scottish parliamentary elections. there comes a point where you have to concede the referendum and i think you will have no choice but to do so at some point. but not in 2020? not in 2020 but sometime i

but it is not just the fact that the tories wa nt to ta ke scotla nd not just the fact that the toriesl and contrary to the promises they made in 2014. they also dismissed a compromise proposal to stay in the single market, they have taken powers away from the scottish parliament, threatening workers' rights and environmental standards, their migration policy will lead to a fault in our working population and hit our economy hard, a tory pub trade deal will leave our nhs at the mercy of us drug companies, their social security policy will drive many more children into poverty datum group tory trump trade deal put it they will impose damaging change, remaking ourfuture without our consent. all of this and more is being done against the wishes of the people in scotland. that is not a union worthy of the name and it is most certainly not a union of equals. it is instead a raw assertion at westminster control over scotla nd assertion at westminster control over scotland and it is not sustainable. the tory position will not prevail. democracy will prevail. today i urge people in scotland, r

, in part, because theyjust have sue mary on tory tory mps. class communities that they have never had before, that changes the complexion because of the party at westminster. my instinct too, i think mr dyson sees himself as leading a very different sort of conservative party, where there will be much greater attempt to try and address the concerns of commenters who feel left behind, those who voted brexit i feel that they have had a raw deal, attention has been lavished on the south and they have been ignored. that will be the big picture message. the difficulty with that, for all the talk of the blue tsunami and the momentum behind them, the blue wall, all of the language, the fact is, to deliver meaningful change for those communities is actually hard. meaningful change for those communities is actually hardm meaningful change for those communities is actually hard. it is ha rd communities is actually hard. it is hard because you are probably talking about decades of neglect and underinvestment. anybody who has travelled on the trains in t

i was having banter with the tory friends of mine, at least i thought it was a friend, a tory activistwas like, you are going to be fine, joshing, like all friends do, he has only gone and leaked it to a website and selectively leaked it. i thought he was a friend, greg barker, obviously he is not. let'sjust tell the audience what that is about, conservative supporting website keto fox has got hold of a phone call if you talking to a conservative supporting friends, let me just tell the audience, and which appear to say there is no way labour can win, the situation out there labour is dire. that must be your view if you said it to a friend. he said to me the tories at head office are saying you are narrowing, you will win. it isa you are narrowing, you will win. it is a bit ofjoshing, he is an activist and i sort of... it is a bit like when you are saying to your mate who is a fan of the rival football team, you know, don't worry, your team will. .. football team, you know, don't worry, your team will... you are unnecessarily trying to boost their ego and make them become complacent. h

one of the interesting things about the tory ma nifesto interesting things about the tory manifesto ise ifs comment on the tory manifesto is if this was an annual budget you would say it was not full of stuff, but as a five year programme it is very narrow indeed. labour would say about their manifesto, borrowing costs are very low now and investment will increase productivity and growth. so this spending will pay for itself. that is the key. if they can get the money to pay for it, which i doubt whether the financial markets would allow, because £55 million a year — billion pounds a year is a big number. looking at the times, interesting headline. tories face last—minute threat from brexit party. the study shows nigel farage may cost the johnson as party. the study shows nigel farage may cost thejohnson as many party. the study shows nigel farage may cost the johnson as many as party. the study shows nigel farage may cost thejohnson as many as 16 seats. that could well be the case, and when you are talking about whether parties are being complacent, this is where i think the tories ar

it is notjust that leavis voted tory it is not just is notjust that leavis voted tory it is notjust aboutt was a lot about those people turning against the labour party for reasons other than brexit. the labour party have yet to talk about the reasons and there is still disagreement. we will come to that in a moment. on the sunday times, a revolution, he is already talking about his plans for the country but closer to home. a prettyjuicy story. he is planning to sack up to a third of his cabinet. he is going to put the focus rather than being good media performers but on whether they can actually do thejob. performers but on whether they can actually do the job. it is good to see this happening at last. with minority government after minority government, we are used to cabinet ministers who look good on tv, sound good on tv because that is what the prime minister wants the people to be backing them. borisjohnson here has a massive majority and is not need to get voters on side with me differently cabinet ministers so he will have people good at theirjob. he will go back to cabinet governm

voted tory, as the red wall, which went tory and ——i never thought it would go tory, but all the peopleremy corbyn and to say this is about brexit would be really, really silly. that guy's birthday drinks sound a bit tense don't they? it will end up like a massive brawl! yes... they're going to be biting each other. if you are in that pub, let us know how it goes. let's talk about the last few hours. what for you was the bit that really crystallised it all? it was just... everything! literally everything. it has been like a horror film for me for the last 2a hours. it was the exit poll. i think people like me were very worried about how labour was going to do. i have been outdoor knocking, i had lots of reservations but i kind of tried to make myself see the positives, and i was thinking, maybe the labour brand will hold up better even thoutheremy corbyn is quite unpopular, maybe people see through boris johnson for the charlatan he is, maybe we'll get a hung parliament, but when the clarity of that exit poll was really, really sobering. listening to those callers from 5live, i mean, wh

, and i believe they will crumble in the face of that, many tories here believe that, one tory spin doctorthat, he will pay an increase in price for people coming towards independence for scotland. thank you very much. let's stay with that point, more analysis now from sirjohn curtice, professor of politics at strathclyde university, something of a duracell bunny at this stage of the day or night. but you have the sense now of a knuckle to knuckle fights, don't you, between scotland and england, or the you, between scotland and england, orthe uk? and i you, between scotland and england, or the uk? and i don't see either of them giving ground on that.” or the uk? and i don't see either of them giving ground on that. i think you are absolutely right, we are heading for a constitutional tussle between the united kingdom government led by the conservatives and the scottish government, led by the snp. the request will be made by nicola sturgeon next week, and she might even get a reply back, perhaps with the grace of a christmas card, fairly promptly that the answer is no. the crucial question

we're changing to tory. yeah, yeah. how will you vote this time? tory.time? just to keepjessa out. at this late stage, though, today labour was given a big chance in front of a big crowd in bristol to push on the bruise. the daily mirror today shows this picture of a four—year—old boy suffering from pneumonia being treated on the floor of a hospital. and... all the way through, they've attacked the tories on how they've dealt with the health service. the tories have had nine years to fund our nhs properly. cheering it's time to bring their regime to an end and elect a labour government that is determined to fund our nhs properly. the health secretary was dispatched to leeds general to try to calm things down. it's not good enough and i've apologised. i've got three small children myself, i've spent too many evenings in a&e and i know what it feels like. shouting the health secretary, though, was harangued by a small group of labour protesters on his way out. the two sides in this election are miles apart. with only three days to go, tensions are on the r

that's the challenge for the tories.stay in, but the people chose to come out, so i don't know why we keep having all these elections, trying to change our mind. so the conservatives have got your vote because of brexit? yes. but here, that is far from a guaranteed strategy. the conservatives have been pushing their brexit stance in leave areas in the midlands and the north, but here, in remain leaning london, it might leave them vulnerable, although the lib dems could take votes from labour here, too. and in the capital, some seats are a three—way fight. take battersea. traditionally, a two—way battle where labour's trying to hold off the tories. this time, the lib dems might tip the balance. at the scratch hub, a space for socially minded entrepreneurs, brothers dan and adam wanted to stay in the eu, but it is other policy that matters to them. a lot of the parties are using brexit as, like, this is how we are going to deal with brexit, and here is everything else. i think the "here is everything else" is the most impo

i'm voting labour because ijust want the tories out, really.rvices into the ground, and ijust don't agree with anything they do or say. but if this election‘s about giveaways and retail offers, the battle's over which party's offer looks most tempting, who's most trusted. the voters' choice will reshape britain, and maybe the biggest reason for that is the b word. tired. who isn't this week, or worse? knackered. this election has felt tough on everyone, and brexit outweighs almost every other issue. for me, it's brexit, mainly because we can stand on our own two feet. we're more than capable of standing on our own two feet. we don't need people in brussels to tell us what we can and can't do, making laws that we have to adhere to. leave, remain, why? remain, the reasons being that it would be more beneficial for our country in terms ofjobs, the way people feel, obviously the unity between everybody as well. as for who to follow, some who've covered miles campaigning for labour don't likejeremy corbyn. many are asking themselves, is boris johnso

a week before polling day they have resided and said vote tory.er of a cabinet minister in the sister of a cabinet minister in the other, has a boyfriend working for that cabinet minister. fact. and another one is a personal friend of borisjohnson. theyjoined, they are facts. and the role in the general election being about not what the brexit party is actually doing it self to what effect it has basically on conservative candidates. this is a blast from the past in a brexit cast. a leak from brussels. it is definitely not going into your binder, these leaked conclusions, before the eu summit before the day of the election here. will be before thursday and friday and it always shows they're going to conclude. when it comes to brexit, you can see them offer this slightly difficult position because they have to get their bet. will there be a majority for the conservative party enough to push the deal through parliament and what they may mean for european parliament. will they have to sit earlier than they want to in order to ratify on the european s

so they are backing tories, but not their leader. the brexit party, theyjoin the coalition that i put together, now they clearly were disaffected with the mrs may as leader, and we are not the conservative party. and the others are determined to make life as difficult as possible for the conservatives, trying to hang on to a clutch of mps in scotland. let us come together next week to vote in a way that locks the tories out of government, that allows scotland to escape the mess of brexit. although there is not much cheer for the escape the mess of brexit. although there is not much cheerfor the lib dems, the surgejo swinson hoped for is not much in evidence. the message stays the same. they have all been on the trailfor weeks stays the same. they have all been on the trail for weeks now, right round the country, but time is running out for all sides in this campaign. the big picture suggests that the tories are on course to be the biggest party, but home and dry, backin the biggest party, but home and dry, back in government? don't b

majority for the tories., and the reason for that as i think the country decided some time ago that it's not electing jeremy corbyn as prime minister. you can argue if that's fair or unfair but i think that was something i sensed just going around the country. i felt really sad, to sensed just going around the country. ifelt really sad, to be honest. i felt sad for lots of reasons. i felt very sad that boris johnson who i've known for a very long time and who i really don't think is a suitable guide to be prime minister of one of the great countries of the world, is going to be in power with a lot of power and having seen what he done with a little bit of power, that is alarming and even though as you say i've been kicked out of the labour party for voting liberal democrat in the european elections as a protest vote, i feel very, very the european elections as a protest vote, ifeel very, very labour and i was really sad just to see what is described in the introduction is potentially an existential threat to

i don't like borisjohnson, leaning towards the tories.aning towards the tories. i don't like borisjohnson, but ijust want to get things done. did anybody persuade you? i was not persuaded by borisjohnson and persuade you? i was not persuaded by boris johnson and it was a rehash of things he had already said, but i was also quite disappointed with jeremy corbyn. it has left me with more questions. this debate is the hardest one for a lot of people to pick a side because of how argumentative it is. i do think the ideas of labour are too far fetched. the sensible thing here is to vote labour, to be honest, but the thing i'm depressed about is the fact there was no debate about climate change which is the big issue. whether the performances tonight persuaded people or put off, the ultimate verdict will be in less than a week. alex forsyth, bbc news, ipswich. let's return to our political editor, laura kuenssberg, in maidstone. did you hear anything tonight that might actually change the dynamic of the campaign with little more than six days t

has treated scotland, and how the tory and liberal coalition before them.rstand that with a change of government, with the election of a redistributive labour government that wants to see much more investment in public services, scottish communities and in the scottish communities and in the scottish economy to a national investment bank structure we will see a change in the quality of life. there is a lady in the middle. see a change in the quality of life. there is a lady in the middlelj just there is a lady in the middle.” just want to pick up on some of your comment about it is the tory government. speaking as a woman of a certain age, all the parties are disrespected now of fighting for my pension and paying of a student loan because i took the advice of various government to retrain, to keep working for the 50 years i have worked, and i feel totally disrespected. the only party in this uk general election who is promising to do anything to redress the injustice faced by waspie women is the labour party. other parties demand it and talk about it. they

all the candidates all the commentators and noting that coburn is finished well i can see the tories have led britain out of the european union and it's been an economic and social fiasco with millions of lives ruined by it i can see this is the woman always saying this to my tory friends all along. the one where you want a far left government which mr williams that might feel happy in his blog going for a hard bricks it because you create economic case left and seek can make really use that and so it doesn't work then i think the whole political landscape could be very different in a few years time than it is now and it will be much more favorable to the left because one of us must be lucic to your use of in most of the analysts i know talking about back to 1803 were were michael foot was still badly beaten on or a socialist manifesto but peter oborne seems to saying that the tories might muck up for you're not alone the labor party a route back where they might very well do i mean and this was the worst election was over the labor party i think since 1935 but remember 10 years afte

i'll never be a tory voter.ity like stoke—on—trent be turned is just so sad to see. the country's political map does look very different today, with some who've never voted tory now making that choice. i've got to go with boris, i'm afraid. so, yeah, times are changing. they most certainly are. alex forsyth, bbc news, stoke—on—trent. labour's lisa nandy managed to hold on to her wigan seat, but she has been critical of the party's position on brexit, she spoke to our correspondent judith moritz and told her about the sadness many of her constituents felt at abandoning labour. it's been the worst campaigning experience that i can ever imagine, and i started delivering leaflets in the rain when i was about seven years old. this has definitely been the worst. people in towns like mine, they've got really good manners. they are really decent, but what was absolutely chattering ——they are really decent, but what was absolutely shattering about it was that as we went out, and we knocked on doors, we met people who hav

even tremendous labour photos of labour tories will vote for the tories. expectation management behind the scenes, we do not expect to see any huge rise in seats because it will increase the argument in favour scottish independence. the key number we want to look at is can they had 50 because if they can, the former leader of the scottish conservative party that is been out on the campaign trail, she said she would swim naked and the loch ness on new year's eve if the snp give more than 56 this collection. that will be really cold. and everyone is talking about how cold it was in england as the campaign today. i saw snow when i was out there this morning so i doubt anyone in middlesboro can really say they had at his court as we had for the selection. is this another one of those moments where it feels like scotla nd those moments where it feels like scotland is just a completely different place politically from the rest of the uk and you guys just talk about totally different stuff every day? we kind of have half the argument because you hear the stuff ab

they may be tory vote rs the labour leavers. they may be tory voters now.llips and keir, they can fight the tories but they have to win first, different story. the implications for scotland again in the observer a victory injo swinson's seat helps snp build support for the next war of attrition, is that what it will be? i think it will be. essentially, the snp have won incredibly in scotland. i don't think it's really been talked about enough. it feels as if the political class has looked at the political class has looked at the north of england, ignored wales and scotland and northern ireland... we have talked about it a fair bit! too much focus on the north of england but scotland, essentially, have said we want to leave, we will back the snp and the snp want to leave. 0bviously, back the snp and the snp want to leave. obviously, the snp now want the referendum and borisjohnson has said we won't give it to you. do you see borisjohnson said we won't give it to you. do you see boris johnson ever giving said we won't give it to you. do you see borisjohnson e

the tories for the rich, labourfor the about economics. economics. the tories for the rich, labourfor the poor, very crudely put. what has shifted is that we've now got a cultural division, which cuts across that. we have got a sort of metropolitan, "we're comfortable with the modern world" view and then we got eight small towns, more closed picture of the world and that has cut across the world and that has cut across the economics. the reason it's difficult for a leader to reach out, but why we need a leader to reach out is because they've got to do so on several different dimensions and that's the real underlying task. to be able to say to people in a hill farm, small—town, metropolitan city, we are for you. i agree. i agree with that. it is absolutely right to use these class distinctions doesn't work so well any more in politics. it is cultural. 0f work so well any more in politics. it is cultural. of course, brexit turbo charged that and tipped us into a culture war, actually. i am worried about the future of our country from that po

it was a catastrophic defeat for the tories.they trying to do that, the more contempt they show for scottish democracy, the more they will increase support for independence, so to supporters of independence i would simply say the mandate and momentum is clearly on our side. much more from me here at westminster throughout the afternoon, but for now it's back to the studio. divers are continuing to search the waters near white island volcano in new zealand in efforts to retrieve two remaining bodies. 1a deaths have been confirmed from monday's eruption. around 20 people remain in intensive care with severe burns. our correspondent, phil mercer, explained how the search for the final two bodies is progressing. police divers and their colleagues from the navy have been in the contaminated waters off white island and those seas have been contaminated by that volcanic eruption on monday. so ash, chemicals in the water and when the divers have to come out of the water, they must be decontaminated. visibility is not good in the water.

great for the tories, terrible for labour and the lib dems.the light goes down here at westminster, that's it from me and my colleagues here on college green. and now to my colleague shaun ley for the rest of the day's news. thank you. the headlines on bbc news: the prime minister tells supporters in tony blair's old constituency in north—east england that they have changed the political landscape and the country. faster journeys, news routes and more trains — it's all change on the railways from tomorrow. protesters against italy's far right party the league gather in rome, for what's expected to be the biggest demonstration yet by grassroots activists, that call themselves the "sardines". rail passengers are being urged to check their train times before travelling from tomorrow, as a new winter timetable comes into effect. train companies say they plan to increase services, cutjourney times and add new routes across the country, following investment in infrastructure and rolling stock. our business correspondent katie prescott has the detail

last night they did vote tory, but it does mean for borisjohnson he did vote tory, but it does mean forw did vote tory, but it does mean for borisjohnson he now has basically a blank sheet of paper. he has a crushed opposition, and overwhelmingly majority, he's not beholden to any section of the tory party, he can do what he wants, and we will now find out who is the real borisjohnson, we will now find out who is the real boris johnson, because we will now find out who is the real borisjohnson, because he's travelled very light politically with his beliefs and there are some in the tory party who hope we'll see emerging the old mayor of london borisjohnson, the emerging the old mayor of london boris johnson, the one emerging the old mayor of london borisjohnson, the one nation boris johnson, but we are now going to find out who borisjohnson really is. norman, thank you, we're going to get a little bit more from you later in the programme. what about the other side? it was labour's worst performance since 1935. party members will now have to analyse what was behind the defeat. iain watso
