labour should not be in danger of losing if it like stoke—on—trent... danger of losing if it like stoke-on-trentgn we could see the proposition was flawed. it is fair to say that ukip have been stopped in their tracks and i think that will have an impact within ukip, but u nfortu nately for will have an impact within ukip, but unfortunately for jeremy corbyn, will have an impact within ukip, but unfortunately forjeremy corbyn, if you look at what was happening in copeland, there is no sign that he is going forward. what he is having to sell as a victory is being overta ken to sell as a victory is being ove rta ke n by to sell as a victory is being overtaken by the tories are not going backwards. is that how you see it and words are special circumstances in copeland because there is the nuclear industry there whichjeremy corbyn is not in favour. every by-election has special circumstances and you could see there were special circumstances in copeland, where they are planning to download the hospital they are. labour campaigned hard on that issue. the nuclear issue is what lost then the by—electio

adam fleming, bbc news, stoke—on—trent.n the bbc news website. the bill giving theresa may the authority to trigger brexit talks goes before the house of lords this afternoon. the legislation passed the commons with no amendments — but the government doesn't have a majority in the lords. let's cross to the houses of parliament and our political correspondent tom bateman. how smooth is the path expected to be? people will turn up in the next couple of hours and we can brace ourselves for a record—breaking session. 190 of them have said they wa nt to session. 190 of them have said they want to speak in this debate, more than in any other lords debate, that gives you a sense of the appetite that many of them have, especially opposition peers in the lords. to try and influence this process, but i think that the body of discussion has little resemblance to the political authority that the lords has when it comes to this bill. because lords will not try and stop brexit, they might try to change the bill and there are areas where

john pienaar is in hanley and he wants to know how people feel about the by—election in stoke—on—trentot. why do you say that? i think for far too long we've been taken for granted by labour. i'd like to think it was going to stay labour. they sort of work for everybody, don't they? whereas i don't know, the guys who are potentially going to get in, are quite bigoted in a couple of their views. by all accounts, the labour candidate is pro—european. so how does that square with 70% plus anti—european votes for stoke central? you have been labour, but you're switching? most probably. i'll most probably switch this year. yes. you're still agonising a bit about it? we're still agonising. this is a really big deal in national politics, isn't it? why? is labour's traditional support in industrial towns like this one in stoke, away from london and the big cities, is it deserting them? well look, most people here voted to leave the european union. most of the mps here, the labour mps here, voted and campaigned to stay in the european union. and jeremy corbyn, he is popular with his party membe

alex forsyth, bbc news, stoke—on—trent.itish election study. hejoins us from our studio in oxford. good evening to you. striking that normally governments find themselves in the situation of saying, well, by—elections don't matter much. here we have... well, the word historic is not overused in this case, a great day for the tories? yes, very unusualfor great day for the tories? yes, very unusual for the government in power to increase its share of the vote in by—elections, let alone win a seat from the opposition. do you think we should separate copeland and stoke completely? 0r should separate copeland and stoke completely? or do you see themes?m some respect, there are similarities. 0ne some respect, there are similarities. one of the striking similarities, although they had different outcomes in terms of who ended up being the mp, the labour share of the vote in copeland and stoke was almost the same. they both got about 37% of the vote. what was really different about stoke and copeland is the way the non—labour votes

you believe that ukip should have won the seat in stoke—on—trent. of voters that have propelled ukip to the forefront over the last three or four years. in the end they proved unable to cross over that line and largely that's because the conservative vote held up. it was very strong. these were both very good results for the conservatives who have tried to reposition after david cameron to go after the social conservatives and the aspirational middle—class and blue—collar workers, but also, ukip have struggled to articulate to the electorate what is post—referendum message really is. voters who might have previously looked at them wanting a referendum, or brexit or wanting a referendum, or brexit or wanting tougher immigration policies, might feel that they are on their way to getting those things. so what is that radical ukip message? it has lost its usp, perhaps, is what it says. for some voters it is not entirely clear what ukip are advocating. if you have a government that was saying brexit does not mean brexit, they were going for some kind of

alex forsyth, bbc news, stoke—on—trent. is in copeland this evening. where do today's by—election results leave the main parties? comparisons between theresa may and margaret thatcher are very easily made and very easily overblown but there are some comparisons to be made. the ambition to reach out to blue—collar workers and voters and winning in copeland backed up by some very rosy opinion polls of late will encourage some conservatives to believe that that high ambition may not be unattainable. for labour, for jeremy corbyn and those around him, there will be relieved that they have seen of this potentially existential threat from ukip, but thatis existential threat from ukip, but that is a long way from becoming a potential party of government. now, thatis potential party of government. now, that is a lot to do right there. those who are opposed tojeremy corbyn in his party believes there is no hope while he is leader and they see the party, even though they may hang on to strongholds in the north and in the midlands and

but stoke—on—trent central is one seat, but it was number 72 on our target list.rent parts of the country, ukip will do, you know, better or worse. labour are obviously vacating a position in the political system they have traditionally held, and ukip are ready to move into that void. few would demurfrom the idea that this was a critical day forjeremy corbyn — even if he resolutely denies it. but what about the man who was one of the first to predict his leadership? what shape does he think labour's in now? here's a viewsnight from the new statesman writer stephen bush. the by—elections aren't the end of corbyn. sincejeremy corbyn was elected, commentators on the right and the left have lined up to predict that this event that defeat will be the end of him. defeat in the copeland by—election and narrow victory in stoke once again has the punditocracy cheerfully predicting the death of coggan. the results are bad. 0pposition parties tend to overperform their general election performances at by—elections, so slipping back at this stage is a bad omen for the labour p

alex forsyth, bbc news, stoke—on—trent.nal business times and the former editor of the left foot forward blog. good evening to you. let's start with the left then, and what happened particularly in copeland, a pretty stunning setback for labour however you look at it? yes, i think it would be bad enough if they were in office, but as the opposition you would expect them to be making gains across the country, and copeland was across the country, and copeland was a seat labour had won every year since i think 1935. stoke again is labour heartland. they won feint—mac but if you look at the breakdown of the vote, the right wing vote was split —— they won copeland but if you look. theresa may retains the popularity she is enjoying at the moment. there is every chance labour might even lose stoke if there is a general election in 2020, it is that bad at the moment. it has always been said that the northern cities, no matter what happened over brexit, there is that core support for labour. but you think it could be crumbling away?

copeland, but won in stoke—on—trent. lasting copeland, but won in stoke-on-trent.had a huge boost with the brexit vote and we were all very worried about that, copeland i think is quite unique because so many of the people there were in the nuclear industry and germany like myself has a lwa ys industry and germany like myself has always been a critic of that but copeland is a good sign that we have not been wiped out by ukip. we have got three years to focus on the economy, if we get that right, we will win. last question for you michael, was that in a way, i'm not saying saving jeremy corbyn, but the fa ct saying saving jeremy corbyn, but the fact that labour won stoke even though the last copeland so badly, that helped him obviously. people like you in the invest far too much ina like you in the invest far too much in a particular event with personality sometimes, like stoke and copeland, if corbyn had lost both, it would have been the end of the world. i am glad that we saw off ukip. ukip voters are often very nice people who does feel fed up. the ukip leadershi
