yvette cooper now joins yvette cooper nowjoins us.hts about this third terrorist attack in as little months. this is an attack on british muslims, but it was an attack on london, on britain, on all of us. it shows again why we have to stand firm against terrorism and extremism and violent hatred wherever it comes from, whether it is from far right extremism, whether it is from islamaphobia or islamist extremism. the home affairs select committee has warned about the importance of challenging all kinds of extremism and terrorism and that is what everybody will be determined to do now. a lot of people i have been talking to throughout the day, members of the muslim community, say there has been a rising tide of islamaphobia and hate crime for a long time now, particularly in recent weeks, and not enough has been done to tackle it. would you agree? yes, i agree with that. in london alone hate crime has gone up in the past few months and across the country as well. we know there are times when it can increase and there is a lot of good wo

yvette cooper, thank you for your time, labour's yvette cooper, chair of the home affa i rs yvette cooper conservatives, i'm joined by senior conservative iain duncan smith. thank you for being with us. i will ask you the same, if i may. public confidence, how can, how do people feel confident now just confidence, how can, how do people feel confident nowjust going about their normal day—to—day lives in light of this? firstly can i just say, in answering this question, that my thoughts and prayers definitely go out to the people that have been hurt, the families of those that have been killed, and any you will be worried now of those wounded, many of whom are in a critical state, i understand. wounded, many of whom are in a criticalstate, iunderstand. i wounded, many of whom are in a critical state, i understand. iam wounded, many of whom are in a critical state, i understand. i am a london mp, i woke up this morning like everybody else to suddenly hear there had been this terrible attack and after i try to figure it out, like everybody else, i had a sense that, i had a son who was up in

as i said to yvette cooper, the fact suggests eight minutes from first report to three shot dead by armed, i mean this came out originally of the mumbai attacks but most importantly the paris attacks, there have been two years of work towards having this very swift capable response by the best armed police officers we have ever had, who are already trained to be more aggressive in dealing with this sort of threat. and it did seem to work obviously fortunately they attacked the best policed and best armed police force in the country. and there is a point there, because the criticism is that outside london, perhaps, under resourcing, under policing is an issue, how important are police numbers? well police numbers are important for crime in general and for community reassurance, the issue is we are talking about terrorism because there have been three attacks. the debates have been should we be spending so much on counter—terrorism any way. community police officers have an important role to play but radicalisation and counter radicalisation are about other government departments. local gov

yvette cooper.nderstand why the prime minister can't tell us whether that product is compliant with building regulations for a tower that is this high. the testing of the cladding, the testing of the materials used, is being undertaken and a statement will be made by the police and the fire service within the next 48 hours. 48 hours to wait, but 18 months ago the government was sent a letter by mps on the fire safety committee warning of the dangers of cladding on tower blocks. today's buildings have a much higher content of readily available combustible material, it explains. this fire hazard results in many fires, because adequate recommendations to developers simply do not exist. it wasn't just 2015, it's been every year probably for the last 11 or 12 years. we've been writing letters. this disaster should never have happened. after a cladding fire in ayrshire which killed a man in 1999, noncombustible cladding became the rule for public housing in scotland, although tonight, new checks were unde

yvette cooper is another who support may be asked for. is that what is happening at the moment?shadow chancellor said the team that won this is a winning team. a lot of people worked so hard during this campaign. a whole range of people worked fantastically, so it is up to jeremy corbyn in the leadership about who the put forward. they might want to reach out, but at the present, it is the people on the shadow cabinet at the moment that played a large part in getting us to where we are today. but you would not be surprised? jeremy corbyn is very magnanimous. he reached out after the first leadership election. he reached out out of the second one. iam he reached out out of the second one. i am sure he will do the same again. and the situation has changed. when i won my election, i have understood that politics has shifted in the last couple of years since then. but we are able to bring into effect our values and principles we in which was not possible a few weeks ago. i think it has opened up a lot of opportunities. but it is no time for unity and get behind the shadow cabinet an

cooper, who really thought that her part of the party was going to reclaim its birth right —— yvette cooperng to be removed

cooper, who really thought that her part of the party was going to reclaim its birth right —— yvette cooper happens now with the tories is almost impossible to call. there are a lot of rumours that theresa may is going to be removed over the summer. i think that is actually quite likely, even though most of my conservative contacts, senior tories that i have spoken to, do not think that would be a good deal idea. they think they need to get through with a pretence of stability and it would just cause more uncertainty and doubt if she was to be replaced. the trouble is, it is stability without strength. stability without credibility. going into the brexit negotiations with a leader who has been so register and has lost all credibility is very serious. what the remain faction, who have turned this into a second referendum on the eu and voted tactically to destabilise her, have succeeded in doing is creating the conditions for the worst possible deal that britain can get in the eu negotiations, and as a result, they have devastated the future of all those young people who are now voting so ent

not the only politician there, ed balls and yvette cooper are enjoying the festivities.re. absolutely. glastonbury has a lwa ys there. absolutely. glastonbury has always been politically engaged, left—leaning, they have a left—field area where policy issues and ideas area where policy issues and ideas are discussed and of coursejeremy corbyn the labour leader was always going to go down well with the audience act lest three, another demonstration of his popularity with young people in particular —— with the audience at glastonbury. politics is always on the agenda here as much as music, but this was a big crowd, tens of thousands of people, they work here to hear him speak —— they were here. they are people who are politically engaged and they were big supporters of bernie sanders campaigning to get him the nomination, and they were the people whojeremy corbyn introduced onstage afterwards, the hip—hop act that followed him. but another demonstration of the connection thatjeremy corbyn has with young people in particular. thanks forjoining us. we can go back to our main

the fold some of those labour mps, the fold some of those labour mps, the likes of chuka umunna, yvette cooper, i think he wants to do that and i think he wants to do that and i think he's in a strong enough position to be able to do that, without undermining his own authority. i expect to see several of them come back to the cabinet. as quite a turnaround. yes, but a lot of people underestimatejeremy corbyn‘s popular appeal. they have to a cce pt corbyn‘s popular appeal. they have to accept that he wasn't the vote loser bay and i thought he was. he is any good position to try and build alliances with the mainstream of the party, which he needs to do in order to have any hope of increasing labour's vote time. nobody is in a rush to have another general election soon. except jeremy corbyn, who says his party is ready for another election in the summer oi’ for another election in the summer or possibly early next year. we may perhaps see some of those moves to bring some people back into his front bench fairly soon. yes, and we saw ina front bench fairly soon. yes, and we saw in a yougov poll to

in terms ofjeremy corbyn's leadership, we have seen the likes of angela eagle, yvette cooper, his doubtersned on him, saying they now think he can lead the party, in a sense of abandoning their principles in favour of popularity, is that cynicism or pragmatism by politicians? how do you read it? cynicism or pragmatism by politicians? how do you read mm is very difficult if you are an mp, let me throw another thing into the mix, jeremy corbyn had a good campaign, iwill mix, jeremy corbyn had a good campaign, i will not take that away from him. but there are seats that labour won, for example kensington and chelsea was notjust outjeremy corbyn, that was about brexit. people like ben bradshaw, stella creasy, phil waltham up in sedgefield, these are people who fought very personal local campaigns. what has to happen for the labour party is we stop all of this divisional stuff, "i don't like him, he doesn't like me," red tory, blairite scum, blah, blah, stopped all that stuff, both ways, the labour party will only get back into power. i believe in saying what i think, and i have said i think je

yvette cooper.ister cannot tell us whether that product is compliant with building regulations for eight tower that is the site. why can she not tell us the site. why can she not tell us the answer and can she also confirmed the building regulations advisory committee that should be looking at part b of the fire regulations, has not actually meant to see how they could be improved. regulations, has not actually meant to see how they could be improvedlj will to see how they could be improved.” will add to the answer that i gave to the right and noble gentleman previously, i ask honourable members to remember that there is a criminal investigation taking place in relation to this matter. the testing, it isn't. .. relation to this matter. the testing, it isn't... the testing of the material used is being undertaken and a statement will be made by the police and the fire service within the next... james cleverly. thank you mr speaker. there are a number of multi agency plans for things like mass shelter

let us join yvette cooper in wakefield.he hard work across the country, we applaud the work that jeremy, tom, the shadow cabinet and labour candidates and members have been doing across the country to win back those constituency, we have had a small number of losses that obviously is sad for us, because i think people like natascha engel have been fantastic in part. but overall we have seen some great results, but of course what it means now it is looks like this is a hung parliament. think theresa may called this as a referendum on herself and she has lost that. i really do not see how she can carry on, i don't see how she can carry on, i don't see she has a mandate for the ma nifesto see she has a mandate for the manifesto she set out. that does mean it will be complicated, and we have got to keep up the pressure, in terms of what we should be doing now, because obviously, what we need is to be standing up for people to get a labour government. are you now happy withjeremy corbyn's leadership? we have leadership elections

doesjeremy corbyn hold out the hand to yvette cooper to say come on in, and build a proper labour cabinet lots on the left who would hate the idea of bringing in wretched blairites in but it would be a clever thing to do. it is hard with the vanguard left party types, the hangover group from the old days do alienate the centre and the right. but the vanguard labour types do belief in that, an elite group to carry it forward. there is a manifesto to stick to. jeremy corbyn has not had it all his own way in terms of the manifesto on trident renewal and there are things that the moderate labour mps there are things that the moderate labourmps can there are things that the moderate labour mps can hold on to. i think he could afford an act of generosity to bring in some of those people. parties based on fraternity and brotherhood find it difficult to put it into practice internally. more eu response, an intriguing statement from jean—claude juncker, of course, the president of the commission, on the whole business of extending negotiations on article over. asked at a news conference if the art

house of commons, we will be joined shortly by brandon lewis of the conservatives, we already have yvette cooperour and joanna cherry for the scottish national party. and as ever, laura kuenssberg, our political editor, is with us to give personalities as we go through the day. watching the yeomen process through, these traditions are unchanging for centuries, the irony in such a time of volatility and uncertainty is profound today. we will see much of the usual pomp and ceremony, slimmed down, but right now, theresa may, who is expecting her own political coronation today, is a fundamentally weakened leader, all the conversations inside the tory party are turbulent underneath the surface about how long she can stay in power, so we will see today in the queen's speech and exact demonstration of how she has been reduced, because her ambitious plans to change the country in big, bold ways have had to be scaled back, and at the centrepiece of the speech the mind—bendingly complicated issue of how we go about our departure from the european union. and overshadowing it all, and i will come to our gue
