thank you very much and it is good to be here in wrexham today withjust17 is good to be here in wrexhammy corbyn. there will be no time to waste or time for new government to find its way so the stakes in this election are high. ourfuture prosperity, our standard of living, our place in the world and the opportunities we want for our children and our children's children are either in the strong hand you grant me by supporting my candidates in this election or the weak hand of jeremy corbyn, backed by the liberal democrats, plaid cymru and the snp, who don't want brexit to succeed. it is your choice, your decision. every vote for me and my team in this election will be a vote to strengthen my hand at the negotiations to come. every vote for any other party — labour, the liberal democrats, plaid cymru — is a vote to send jeremy corbyn into the negotiating chamber on our behalf. and that is the stark reality of the choice that we face, the choice we must focus on over the next 17 days. because our future prosperity depends on getting the next five years right. that is why we need someone r

thank you for your time. 0ur chief political correspondent vicki young is in wrexham for us.lomatically sidestepping the politics. opponents of theresa may set was a badly thought through policy and she has been forced into a u—turn. the fact is there are many conservative candidates out there. this is an election. there are on the doorsteps every single day and night. you did not need an opinion poll to say how the policy was going down. tory candidates all around the country feeding back that people were pretty alarmed about it, for the very fact they did not know how much they would have to cough up for their own care. i suppose from the point of view of theresa may, it is whether people think conducting a u—turn like this is a sign of weakness or whether people think she was listening to that response. she has decided to change it because people we re decided to change it because people were not happy. the baffling part was where she said there was no change. if you look at the ma nifesto, change. if you look at the manifesto, it goes into some detail about the fact they

theresa may, in a campaign speech in wrexham, said their plans include a consultation on a cap — or in an "absolute limit" on the money people will need to pay. it's unclear what that cap will be. the conservatives had proposed that those needing care would have to meet the costs by forfeiting all but the last £100,000 of their assets, including the value of their property. 0ur political correspondent chris mason reports. huge bills and a big question. who should pick up the tab and when four hour care should pick up the tab and when four hourcare in should pick up the tab and when four hour care in old age? last thursday, the conservatives suggested a major overhaul of the social care system in england. 0pposition parties and others piled on to criticise the plan did not include a limit on how much it could cost families. now, just four days on, the change. we are proposing the right funding model for social care. we will make sure maybe as to sell their family home to pay for the careful we'll make sure there is a limit on what people have to pay and you will never go below £100,000

how would you say, the wrexham will is of brands that have me stepped first mac now, more so than eversential of any brand launching globally or in one market is about brand having purpose. so the wide. we have audiences and who can pick and choose based on price, accessibility, availability and purposeis accessibility, availability and purpose is really important. and it is not high your purpose in terms of solving the problems of humanity but what they can give back to the consumers. you think that has to be a social purpose? a back story? i absolutely do. more so than ever, in the current climate, brands really need to try and look at how they are going to do something for the consumer. going to do something for the consumer. we are in value exchange of consumers and is really, really important. when you took innonce to other markets, whether elements of missing? people saying this is not enough? there were different aspects. the hardest thing was part of the brand was its openness and the way we communicated with people who bought the product. i think our biggest challenge was gett

wrexham, bridgend, cardiff, we've had gains. if you look at monmouth, we've ta ken overall control. we have come within a whisker of taking control. this was one of nine welsh local authorities where counting began this morning. the leader of plaid cymru, leanne wood, is the local assembly member. there are seats that we are looking to take, like ynys mon, and here i'm hoping to see some gains as well, which will give us some momentum with which to begin our uk election campaign. shall the welsh liberal democrats have so far failed to make shall failed to make any sort of impression. we were giving the message about local issues. the problem was that in the middle of the campaign changed and became a running for the general election. traditional flavour of wales being freshly prepared for the day ahead. 0ld habits die hard here. but voters' tastes may be changing. all parties really putting a shine on things, saying they remain optimistic ahead of the general election. labourfor election. labour for these elections under the brand of welsh labour. all to play for over the coming wee

and newport.” places where there is deprivation like wrexham and newport. squabbling. we accept the result of the referendum, the decision has been taken, it is a question of how it is done. we produced a white paperjointly with plaid cymru putting a plan in place saying how this could be done. all of the engines at bridgend go to the eu and it is important we protect that. we need to look at freedom of movement and adapt it to meet people's concerns. i have heard that on the doorstep, but there is no plan from the tories. all we hear from theresa may is slogans, brexit means brexit, and if we have somebody going into the negotiating chamber saying that, we might as well have a parrot to be honest. we need are worked out plan from the tories about how they will deliver this. we have done it. the welsh people are told point—blank that wales will not lose out a single penny. that promise has been ditched. from 2020 that money will disappear. i know, talking about farming and hearing from whitehall, they expect australia and new zealand to produce lamb in the

holding on in wrexham.ing story in that the conservatives going from one seat to 11, that'll be the target for theresa may and the main target when the general election comes. a mixed night for labour, disappointment for the lib dems losing seats, reasonable happiness from plaid cymru. i think they expected a few more but there is rhondda later to come in the counter. ukip doing nothing here, emulating how they did across england. thank you, tomos morgan. some interesting patterns to pick up on as we go through the morning. i wa nt to on as we go through the morning. i want to look at the performances in the english counties. why don't we pick lincolnshire? that is a good example of relative strength, ukip tidwell there in 2013 and the conservatives have now gained control from no overall control. 58 seats in lincolnshire for the tories, labour on six, independents on five, lib dems on one. what does that tell us if we look at 2013, looking at the difference between today and 2013. 23 games for the conserva

managed to stem some of the advances that the tories were hoping for in places like pembrokeshire, wrexhamthey took only 15% of available seats, so as far as we are concerned it is game on for the next election. we are looking to take seats like here in the rhondda and hold onto seats we have got. i am pleased yesterday the's results stand us in good stead to fight the election. that is a summary of where you are. you have made inroads but you only have control of one council, which is not brilliant, is it? we have overall control of one council. we are the largest party in many other places. we have yet to see what deals can be done between parties, what shared agendas, and so on. i am optimistic we have put in a good show and with just four councillors away from having our best ever, most ever number of councillors we have had. it is a good day. a number of our councillors lost by one vote, and a few more by the toss of a coin. it was to matic in some places. the most important point is we have stemmed the rise of the tories —— it was dramatic in some places. they have not won by the sam

they're in control in wrexham.f years ago and that council is now under the control of the independents. labourwill is now under the control of the independents. labour will be looking to regain that council but the other parties, the tourism plaid cymru, will be looking to make games there as well. and in carmarthenshire there is a classic battle between labour and plaid cymru, currently under plaid cymru and the control of independence but labour will be trying to make some gains. but the picture across wales according to the pundits is that labour will be expected to make some losses across wales. usjoin lorna gordon in scotland. us join lorna gordon in scotland. as you were saying all 32 authorities here being contested. 0ne you were saying all 32 authorities here being contested. one of the key battle grounds will be here in glasgow, the question being will labour hold on to power in a city where it used to be said you would weigh the votes rather than count them. they have had overall control of the city cham
