We have two important stories for you - in the UK campaigning | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
in the snap election ends today and the country prepares to vote. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
And in Washington, intelligence officials testify in the Senate | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
refusing to say for now if Donald Trump interfered | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
Theresa May says the question now is the same as it was at the beginning | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
Who do you trust to actually have the strong and stable | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
leadership that is going to deliver the best deal for Britain in Europe? | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
than 80 rallies - he says Britain faces a clear | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Five more years of Tory cuts, longer waiting lists, | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
underfunded schools in many parts of the country and | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
Washington serves up the prelude to former FBI director | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
At a Senate committee hearing - the director of national | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
intelligence said he had never felt pressured by the president - | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
but was he asked to intervene in the FBI inquiry. | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
Hello, I am Katty Kay in Washington, Christian Fraser is in London. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
12 hours from now pollings stations will open in the UK. | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
It's an election the ruling Conservative were expected to win | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
But during the six week campaign the polls have narrowed. | :01:36. | :01:46. | |
We're going to focus first on the front runners. Theresa May has her | :01:47. | :02:00. | |
final event in Birmingham whilst Jeremy Corbyn has two events in | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
London before the campaign closes at midnight. | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
Here's our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg. | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
She called it to win it, but it's not her choice. | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
A few hackles at 5:30am, following her trail like the missteps in the | :02:13. | :02:22. | |
last few weeks. Jolly photo ops aren't | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
quite her style, and there's not With security and tighter | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
terror laws on her mind. At eight o'clock in Glasgow, | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
Jeremy Corbyn enjoying With his long-held views | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
on security, cautious about the idea Our Human Rights Act | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
protects our rights. The way you deal with a threat | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
to democracy is not by reducing democracy, it's by dealing | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
with the threat. The day before the election, moving | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
his Shadow Home Secretary aside. Diane Abbott isn't well | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
and she's not campaigning. If that is unusual, much has been | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
about this campaign. Theresa May was knocked on social | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
care, a policy that might have caused alarm on many bowling greens, | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
before returning to script. It's about who people trust | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
to have the strong and stable leadership to get the best deal | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
for Britain in Europe. And who has the will and, crucially, | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
the plan to deliver an Brexit. Legions of Jeremy Corbyn fans | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
want something else. Opponents say his sums don't stack | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
up, but they love Labour's manifesto that promises more borrowing | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
and a much bigger state. The first time it's been | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Jeremy Corbyn with full on socialism versus the Conservatives and it's | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
giving people a great opportunity. Theresa May doesn't care | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
about people like us. Vote Labour, for crying out loud, | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
to help this country get out of the mess we are in, | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
with this Tory government. The poor are suffering | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
in this blinking country. Our manifesto offers something | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
very, very different. They say well it's going | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
to cost a lot of money. But we are very clear about this, | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
we have fully costed it. 95% of the population | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
will pay no more in tax, no more in National Insurance, | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
no more in VAT. The two main campaigns | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
look so different It's not an election | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
where anyone can say politicians are all the same, | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
they have different visions Labour would tax more and spend more | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
on schools and hospitals. Under the Tories there | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
would still be cuts to keep trying They have very different takes | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
on the kind of country this is and what they want it to be, | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
and very different leaders who are trying to persuade | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
you to let them take us there. Campaigns are not a contest | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
of who covers more miles. Mrs and Mr May in | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
the Tory plane today. At the start of this journey she | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
seemed unassailable, not any more. We've set out in our manifesto | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
the challenges that we face as a country, and how | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
we as government would deliver How we would ensure | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
we were addressing those challenges. Isn't it the case, you didn't have | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
to call this election, and you're asking people to trust | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
you for five years after a campaign where the sense is you've said | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
as little as possible. What I have said to the British | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
people is to be open with them about the challenges | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
this country faces. But also about the opportunities | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
that we have in this country. I think that's absolutely | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
the right thing to do. The core, not the quality | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
of the campaign will see her home. My vote will be with Mrs May | :06:03. | :06:14. | |
because of her experience. I compare them, one is a lot more | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
qualified, in my opinion, for the job interview | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
on offer tomorrow. I think she's a ruthless | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
candidate who can get the country through Brexit, | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
which is what we voted for. Elections aren't straightforward | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
popularity contests. It's turnout tomorrow, not tonight, | :06:32. | :06:42. | |
that really matters. Elections are decisions on just one | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
day, a choice that changes Laura Kuenssberg, | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
BBC News, Birmingham. Now just to remind you there are 650 | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
seats or constituencies The number required | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
for an absolute majority is 326. In 2015 the Conservatives | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
won 331 seats. Rob Watson has steered us | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
through the campaign these past weeks, he is in Westminster | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
for us tonight. Good evening. The final line in that | :07:16. | :07:28. | |
report was that this is a decision that will affect our lifetimes. And | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
this time around it is that profound because of Brexit and the direction | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
the parties want to take us in. That is one strange thing about this | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
rather strange election. That the stakes could not possibly be higher. | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
After all whoever wins the election gets to decide the path in the world | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
of the UK after being a member of the EU for more than 40 years. That | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
affects the place in the world, security arrangements, diplomacy, | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
economics, everything. But yet despite the stakes being so high it | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
is difficult to imagine a campaign that feels less like it is they | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
become to life. In part because of the tragedies of course of those two | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
attacks but on those key issues, what is Britain going to look like | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
after Brexit, what is going to happen to the economy, we have heard | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
precious little. It is always about the economy, stupid. Why have they | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
not been talking about that? I guess critics of Theresa May would say | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
that has been a mistake within a party that she should have been more | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
forceful in defending the Conservative government record. And | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
its record previously with the coalition. She has not done that and | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
I think if somehow she does not pull off the victory she expects, she can | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
expect more grumbling. Jeremy Corbyn has focused impact on and offered an | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
unashamedly socialist alternative. He has been on the far left fringes | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
of UK politics for a long time and has come out with a 90 austerity | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
message. Below many of his people think the media is hard on them | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
there has not been much examination of this manifesto partly because the | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
media concentrate on who they think is going to win which is Theresa | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
May. Just to pick up on something about how this fundamentally will | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
affect the path of the world for the UK, my understanding is that the | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
path was decided in the Brexit referendum last June and whoever is | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
elected Prime Minister it is still going to happen. So it is already | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
determined, and how does this election make a fundamental | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
difference to that? Absolutely, the big election was two years ago, or | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
the big vote. Now it is a question of how do the politicians in this | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
country make it work. And it is that bad but is uncertain, and the stakes | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
could not possibly be higher. Clearly Brexit, yes the UK is going | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
to be leaving the EU, but there are many different ways to do that. You | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
could have that hard Brexit where the UK would seek to be the single | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
market and Customs union or something which looks more like the | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
UK staying inside the EU. So a big vote two years ago but in a the | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
stuff that is now really important, other details. What will the UK do | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
about immigration policy, about trade with the rest of the world. | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
When it's somehow pivot away from the European Union and do more trade | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
with China for example or India. Thank you very much. All week we've | :10:47. | :11:09. | |
been looking ahead to the of former FBI director James Connolly. His | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
full opening statement has been published a day ahead of that. He | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
said during a phone call on the 30th of March President Trump asked him | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
what could be done to lift the cloud of the Russia pro. He has also said | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
Donald Trump told again during a dinner, I need loyalty. Laura Bicker | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
joins me now. Let's go to Michael Flynn and that | :11:32. | :11:46. | |
meeting in the Oval Office which has been much written about and whether | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
or not James Comey wrote a memo straight afterwards saying there was | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
pressure put on him by Donald Trump to drop the investigation into | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
Michael Flynn. Who of course was a former national security adviser and | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
had to be fired after his meetings with Russian ambassadors was | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
disclosed. Let's read some of the text from a meeting. When he leaned | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
over, he said that when it came to the study 14th meeting, he wanted to | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
talk about Flynn. This is Donald Trump talking about Flynn. He said | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
the president began by saying Clinton had not done anything wrong | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
in speaking with the Russians but he had to let go because he misled the | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
vice president. He said after a while, the president returned to the | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
topic of Mike Flynn think is a good guy and has been through a lot. He | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
repeated Michael Flynn had not done anything wrong but had misled the | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
president. Then he said I hope you can see your way clear to letting | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
this go. Letting the thing go. He is a good guy, I hope you can let this | :12:51. | :12:59. | |
go. The issue seems to be weathered Donald Trump somehow obstructed | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
justice and put pressure on James Comey to drop investigations and | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
from reading the statement, is James Comey going to say yes there was | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
obstruction of justice? I think he is going to fudge it a bit. In his | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
memo he writes I understood the president to be requesting bubble | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
drop in investigation of Michael Flynn in connection with false | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
statements about his conversations with the Russian ambassador in | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
December. I did not understand him to be talking about the broader | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
investigation into Russia. Then he goes on to say he kept it close | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
within his FBI team, he did not inform the Attorney General. This is | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
a fine line for the former director James Comey to plough because if it | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
is seen that he didn't know there was an obstruction of justice, and | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
then he failed to disclose that, then he failed in his duty as FBI | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
director. Some some ways what he's saying is it since President Trump | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
was implying he should let Michael Flynn, this investigation into him | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
go, not the broader investigation. Thank you very much. And we are | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
going to hear that test testimony from James Comey tomorrow and it | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
will be all but the question of whether President Trump obstructed | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
justice by asking officials not to investigate links with his campaign | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
to Russia. Today Senate officials refused to testify. Democrats were | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
pressed the Director of National intelligence Dan Coates on a simple | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
question, had the president asked him to intervene. As I responded to | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
similar questions during my confirmation in a second hearing | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
before the committee, I do not feel it is appropriate for me in the | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
public session in which confidential conversations between the present | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
myself, I do not believe it is appropriate for me to address that | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
in a public session. The director of National intelligence Dan Coats. | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
For more I spoke earlier with Republican Senator John Barrasso. | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
The defence chiefs in their testimony this morning I saying two | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
senators they do not want to play effectively whether President Trump | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
suggested that they should get the FBI investigation into links with | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
Russia dropped. Should they not be telling the American public that? | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
The American public want to know, we're going to have the former FBI | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
director James Comey testifying tomorrow. It is a bipartisan panel | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
asking the questions, Republicans and Democrats alike want the answer | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
is that the American people want as well. We want to make sure the | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
country is safe and secure and strong and if we cannot get answers | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
were not going to feel as safe and secure as we would like. Are you | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
concerned by the press report that the president tried to influence | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
some of his intelligence chiefs including director James Comey and | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
put pressure on them to get investigations dropped? We're going | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
to hear from James Comey tomorrow and what is important is the content | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
of what he tells us as well as the context and the town. For more | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
details are and what he tells us the president told him. That is what the | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
people want to know and I think were not going to rest, certainly this | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
bipartisan select committee is not going to rest until we get all the | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
answers specifically related to Russia. Yup Republicans and | :16:38. | :16:46. | |
Democrats alike who have no trust of Vladimir Putin, we know he is trying | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
to undermine our democracy and not just in the US, we see it in | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
elections in Germany, France and England are so you'd not be trusted | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
and we need answers. You have been a staunch supporter of the present but | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
when you look at what is coming out of the White House in the course of | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
the last week, are you concerned about the way this president is | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
managing the White House, managing relations with some of the closest | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
American allies? There is a lot of work to be done in Congress and I | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
think the tweeting detracts from what we're trying to do. In terms of | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
jobs in the economy, overall national security, the types of | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
things we're trying to do with infrastructure and health care. It | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
is almost impossible for Congress to get any of those things done, no | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
bills have been cast on tax or infrastructure jobs and partly | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
because of the chaos coming out of the White House. You have in the | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
past defended the president, would you urge the president now to change | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
the way he is running the country and his relations with Congress and | :17:43. | :17:50. | |
his allies? Well the president is most successful when focused on the | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
things the American people are focused on, and that is jobs and the | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
economy, the national security. Those are the things that are | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
winning combinations that things that people but -- that people are | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
caring about. As long as the focus is on that it is much better for | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
everyone. You're heading onto Wyoming, how concerned are people in | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
that state about the Russian investigation? People are focused on | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
getting their own lives under control in terms of jobs, getting | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
booed on the table, getting the kids off to school and having good jobs. | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
Certainly the concerned with Russia is real, it is all around the | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
country. We want to make sure our country is safe and strong, we worry | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
about terrorism, we need to focus on those goals moving forward and want | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
to make sure that we can get beyond the distraction is currently on the | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
table. Thank you very much. A bizarre state of affairs spelt out | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
by Senator McCain who said, I have the Washington report in front of | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
me, how the president is supposed to have approached Dan Coates and asked | :19:04. | :19:12. | |
him to help the FBI back. Yet there is Dan Coates in front of the | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
highest committee in the Senate and he cannot say anything. Or does not | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
want to. There was a lot of frustration in that committee | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
hearing that these poor intelligence directors had not come to the Senate | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
prepared with what they could answer and what they could not and what | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
they were going to answer. One of them was after you have a legal | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
reason for not answering the question of what the president asked | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
you or did not and he said I do not think I do but I do not feel it is | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
the right thing to do. Clearly they are frustrated and want answers. And | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
you would hear that. Someone like our guest was a staunch supporter of | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
Donald Trump saying this has to stop. He was asked if he felt | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
pressure and he replied no. But he was not asked the question about | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
whether he had been asked and that is a second thing. A separate thing, | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
yes. A month | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
ago President Trump fired the Director of the FBI - | :20:09. | :20:09. | |
today he announced a replacement. The process took longer | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
than the White House expected as a stream of candidates | :20:13. | :20:14. | |
were interviewed and then either rejected or pulled | :20:15. | :20:16. | |
themselves out of contention. Now Mr Trump has picked | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
a career prosecutor, someone known in fact | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
to James Comey. Wray, a man of impeccable | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
credentials, to be the new Interesting timing. Perhaps he | :20:23. | :20:42. | |
released this information ahead of the James Comey investigation. Many | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
of you will not have heard about him. | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
So what can we tell you about Christopher Wray? | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
Well the Yale lawyer was President George W | :20:53. | :20:54. | |
Bush's assistant attorney general from 2003 to 2005 - | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
while there he worked under James Comey at the | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
He ran the criminal division of the Justice Department, | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
dealing with fraud scandals that plagued the corporate world. | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
After his service he worked for a big private law firm, | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
specialising in white collar investigations. | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
Wray was also a lawyer for Chris Christie, | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
the New Jersey Governor - and Trump ally - | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
We will get to know him better. One thing that will bring up a lot on | :21:15. | :21:28. | |
the programme is the popularity of President Trump. And it means that | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
he can govern. But are his approval ratings on the wane? If we take an | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
average from the polling, his popularity rating at the moment is | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
39%. Not great numbers but here's some | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
context that might surprise you - On Day 138 of his presidency - | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
his figures are in fact better than the approval ratings | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
Bill Clinton had at this same stage. 138 days into Clinton's | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
adminstration just 37.8 percent of Americans approved of the job | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
he was doing. That surprised me because Bill | :21:58. | :22:08. | |
Clinton was a popular president. At stages through his presidency. What | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
went wrong at the beginning? Bill Clinton left office with a 66% | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
approval rating, the envy of most presidents. But at the beginning, it | :22:19. | :22:28. | |
was actually pretty chaotic with personnel upheavals and the kind of | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
things we're hearing bit about at the moment from the Donald Trump | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
White House. That dragged his ratings down. Here's what he did | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
about it, he brought in a grown-up, Leon Panetta, to be his chief of | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
staff. He shook up the White House and instilled a lot of discipline | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
and approval ratings began to go back up again. | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
I just want to bring this back to where things stand here with some | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
The poll of polls puts the Conservatives | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
While Labour is five points behind on 37.2%. | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
Tim Farron's Liberal Democrats are polling at 8.1%. | :23:08. | :23:16. | |
The polls have been completely up and down these last few weeks. One | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
poll put the Conservatives at one point above Labour and another as | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
high as 12 points. Looking back at the polling on the popular vote in | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
2015, the Conservatives with seven points ahead, so do you take other | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
side of that, if they were six points ahead do they lose some of | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
the majority, if conversely there over at April 12 points, do they | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
start to pick up seats tomorrow. I do not think you would bet the house | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
on it, it is up in the air. It is going to be fascinating what kind of | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
results we get. No one I do not think really knows. And what matters | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
most is how many seats the Conservative Party gets and how much | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
chicks that are majority. These polling members may not entirely | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
reflect that. Because vulture is of course divergent in various seats. | :24:11. | :24:22. | |
-- vote share. There are of course other parties | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
involved in the election. This is a parliament, 650 individual elections | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
Ruby and nine parties all looking for a stake in Westminster. Here's | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
what they had to say in the final push of campaigning. There are | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
challenges ahead, the Brexit negotiations, we need to get them | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
right. Brexit is the basis of everything. We need to secure our | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
economy for the future, make sure we have more and better paid jobs. You | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
have a choice, five more years of Tory cuts, longer waiting lists, | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
underfunded schools in many parts of the country, and hope under the | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
Labour Party. If you want to send a message to Theresa May that you are | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
not to be taken for granted, the dementia tax is not to be given the | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
all clear and cuts are not OK, the Liberal Democrats are the party to | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
get behind. She has come across as weak and evasive so it is possible | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
but Scotland could stop her getting a bigger majority. People are coming | :25:19. | :25:26. | |
onto the idea that Theresa May will not give us the Brexit want. What we | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
need to do is to have... There's no place for sexist remarks in | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
political leadership. We have a job to do to lead the way and set the | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
tone. We need a strong team of Plaid Cymru MPs to make sure that Wales is | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
taken seriously and not the Lord in the way it has been since the | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
referendum took place last June. We are at a fork in the road and if you | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
do not want to waste money on Trident and look at ideas to make | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
the country fit for the 21st century like a shorter working week, more | :26:01. | :26:09. | |
investment in the NHS, then vote for the Green Party. Plenty more to | :26:10. | :26:10. |
