10/01/2017 Newsnight

I would like there to be some kind of high earnings cap, quite

honestly. You could set a limit on top pay. I think it is probably

better to look at the ratio issue. Jeremy Corbyn started the day with a

surprising new policy, and this afternoon, it was dead in the water.

This was not even the topic of his big relaunch of which was meant to

be about freedom of movement. We will ask one of his closest

lieutenants what he actually means. Also tonight:

Jared is a very successful real estate person, but I actually think

he likes politics more than he likes real estate.

So it seems. Meet 36-year-old Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law

and confident, soon to be top White House adviser. Who is he bring to

bear. And remember this? Governor Tarkin, I should have

expected to find you Peter Cushing and Carrie Fisher are

no longer with us, but that is no obstacle to being a major character

in a new Star Wars movie. Will Carrie Fisher now also get digitally

resurrected, and would she really want that?

It was billed as Jeremy Corbyn's big day - rebooting Labour's approach

to Brexit, and specifically it's position on the free

bosses and top footballers were "utterly ridiculous."

And as a long supporter of Labour, a few years ago I started to switch

because of the way the Brexit campaign was going.

Honestly, I don't think he deserves the stick that he gets

I think he's quite well rounded and I think he has,

like, a lot of respect for mental health issues.

Which I think a lot of people don't really get.

Well, we're not of his persuasion, but I don't think he's got

the character to lead the country, or his party.

I think he's talking a lot of sense, to be honest.

I just think it's not necessarily that popular at the moment.

The Labour leadership is invoking a new strategy to engage with voters

and as part of that they hope to emulate some of

Here's our political editor Nick Watt.

The world is turning its attention to America, and who would have

believed that? Jeremy Corbyn, who has spent a lifetime campaigning

against US dominance, believes there are lessons for him in Donald

Trump's victory. Today we saw Jeremy Corbyn's first outing of the New

Year. There was a change of tack on Europe as he said he is no longer

wedded to the crew movement of people, then intriguingly, Labour

indicated that he may follow some of Donald Trump's tactics in reaching

out directly to voters as an insurgent. Jeremy Corbyn is not

exactly America's number one fan. It seems highly unlikely we will see

him here any time soon, and he profoundly disagrees with Donald

Trump's outpourings on Twitter, but he does believe that the incoming

president has captured ways of communicating on social media that

are highly effective for an insurgent. Newsnight understands

that having seen off that second leadership challenge, Jeremy Corbyn

now believes the time has come to rekindle that spirit as an

antiestablishment candidate on social media. To my mind, Mr Trump

is a racist, and a misogynist, and a pretty bad thing in the world, but I

am smart enough to know that he has spoken to a lot of people very

directly, and he has spoken to their concerns. He's offered the wrong

recipe, and he's played on those concerns. I want to listen to those

concerns, as does Jeremy Corbyn, but sell a different message. He is

certainly the man for us, because he appears on the sofa...

The leadership has decided that Jeremy Corbyn should devote less

time to the written press and more time to live interviews on

television and radio. They admit it can't go wrong but say that live

broadcasting allows leaders to speak more directly to voters. And then

there are the Donald Trump lessons from twitter. Expect a modern

version of Labour's rebuttal unit. One politician who blazed a trail

for leaders speaking directly to voters has mixed feelings. I don't

think I've got any lessons to teach anyone. My strategy didn't exactly

culminate in success in elections. I have some sympathy, of course I do,

given the powerful vested interests we've got in the written press in

this country, there's a need, unhinged stuff that you get from

Paul Dacre run the Daily Mail and elsewhere, the bully boy tactics of

those papers, and I understand that Jeremy Corbyn and his team want to

communicate with people that clearly they are not going to the pages of

the... Mail and other parts of the Brexit press. Jeremy Corbyn may be

looking to the US for inspiration on how to reach out to voters, but in

common with all UK political leaders, his fortunes will be bound

up with how the UK negotiates it way out of the EU. Today, in the

strongly pro-leave city of Peterborough, he said he was no

longer wedded to the principle of free movement. Allies said this

marked a shift in language and a recognition that Brexit does provide

an opportunity for wider reform of the labour market by cracking down

on agencies that have used migrant labour to drive down wages. The more

I get the impression that the differences now between Theresa May

and the principal party of opposition, the Labour Party, is

basically one of nuance and detail rather than substance. They both say

that there have to be unspecified reforms to freedom of movement, and

that worries me because unless the Labour Party is prepared to hold the

Government's feet to the fire, this Government, I worry, is going to bok

choi Brexit very badly. A former member of the Shadow Cabinet

believes that Jeremy Corbyn is on the right track but does not go far

enough. I welcome a commitment to managed migration but I think we

need more detail on how that will work in practice. I think that one

of the main messages from the EU referendum back in June was that the

status quo on immigration and free movement cannot continue, and people

want the Government to have more control of the numbers of people

coming in. In common with the finest of start-ups, today's strategy had a

bit of a bumpy start. Jeremy Corbyn appeared to suggest early on that he

favoured a cap on maximum pay rates. By this afternoon, the position was

a little more nuanced as he suggested the Government could use

its leverage in public sector contracts to force private companies

to accept pay ratios, and the tax system could be used to change

behaviour more widely. Jeremy Corbyn is unlikely to be picking fights

with Hollywood stars. The moment, his mind will be on a windswept

corner of Cumbria where Labour faces a tough by-election fight. Today's

message on Brexit was no doubt aimed at Copeland and other labour streets

which recorded a strong Leave vote. Caroline Flint was a shadow

minister under Ed Miliband. You and other senior colleagues

wanted a specific policy on freedom of movement. What did you want to

hear today? I take a lot of positives from what Jeremy said

today. After the referendum, he said the Labour Party needed to review

immigration policy, and I think he did make clear today that as part of

the discussions around the deal around Brexit, then looking at what

a fair and reasonable set of rules around freedom of movement would

mean to the discussion. But you were looking for something more specific,

and he only said he was not wedded to the idea. Let me see what I was

looking for. I believe that freedom of movement is something we should

have addressed a long time ago, and Labour has sidestepped people's

concerns on immigration, particularly in communities outside

the big cities, outside of London. Jeremy has said, and it is backed up

by Kia Starmer and the deputy leader, that is part of the

negotiations around Brexit, of course we want full access to the

single market as much as possible, but freedom of movement has to be

part of that. Add to that, I think something like 50% of those who

voted Remain also wanted reform of free movement as well. But you and

others of your ilk want to see a two tier position. You want to see one

strategy for senior skilled foe, and another strategy for others. You are

rather long way from getting that. We have the start of a discussion

today. Certainly, I think we need to look and probed more into the detail

about how EU migration has affected Britain. When I did a survey online

in my own constituency, where they voted overwhelmingly to leave, when

I asked what they thought of students or highly skilled workers,

they were less worried about that then the impact on low skill,

low-paid sectors and areas such as Doncaster. New Labour was much less

concerned about ordinary voters' concerns than growing the economy.

They ignored it and turned a deaf ear to that, and that was a mistake,

not just economically but culturally. It is not just about

economic spot the social atmosphere. In my own constituency in the Don

Valley, in 1997, it was over 90% white. The non-British vote has

increased since then. It is a big change in communities. I wonder if

people feel that the message from new Labour was that even two boys

that was racist. I think part of the problem was that there were

mistakes, and it has been acknowledged that we did not have

transition controls in the way we have over Romania and Bulgaria.

Across all parties, politicians tend to look at the net figures

nationally without bearing down on what is happening in different

communities, and I do think that is where not just around immigration

but around globalisation, the loss of jobs, on the big scale,

particularly when the economy was doing well before the recession, it

could mask these problems. The thing you are acknowledging is that even a

small population change can mean a big social shift. And the rate of it

as well. Actually, it is a problem for people even to discuss it. You

would not have the Labour leadership saying it was a problem, would you?

Jeremy did address some of the problems, in his own words, which

might be different from my words. That's OK. He did address the fact

that some employers have used loopholes through freedom of

movement to basically... That's economic, not culturally. -- not

cultural. It overlaps. When you add in zero-hours contracts and young

people can't put together the money for a deposit on a flat to rent, and

when people are feeling that wholesale recruitment through an

agency to a town in Poland has come into their local factory, it's not

only hitting them in the pocket but in their hearts as well. Thank you

very much indeed. We're joined by the Shadow Attorney

General Baroness Chakrabarti. First of all, can you explain

Labour's policy on freedom of movement as discussed today? Can you

explain what it actually is. I will do my best. The priority is the

economy, and we think that at this moment in their negotiations that

will come, the priority is trying to get access to the single market. We

don't have an ideological position that's for or against immigration,

the priority is the economy, but as Caroline said, the economy has to

wipe everyone, those at the top and at the bottom. When you are talking

about the impact on the economy, you have to take care of business, yes,

that wants to have free movement, but you also need to think about

people whose wages are being undercut, about housing, public

services and so on. If it was necessary for the economy to have

more immigration rather than less, you would favour that? Yes, but only

do if you do the corresponding thing, to make sure that migrant

labour cannot be exploited and that people's wages are not undercut and

that you do all the things to ameliorate the impact on people

lower down the economic scale so that free movement isn't something

that is just benefiting people at the top but not benefiting people at

the bottom who feel that migrant labour is being exploited, that they

don't have homes and access to schools and hospitals and so on. The

economy has to work for everyone, which is why the stuff about wages

fits completely in with this policy. It can't just be about Brexit but

about what kind of country we want to have afterwards. But we are not

necessarily just talking about low wages paid to workers coming in, for

example, seasonal workers. We are talking not just about that but

about the impact of low skilled workers coming into the UK, where

there is a glut of low skilled workers, and what you are not saying

is that, actually, there will be a two tier system, which Caroline

Flint wants, which takes high skilled workers and then if

necessary low skilled workers. Jeremy Corbyn is simply saying he

wants to get rid of the undercutting of wages. That is not a

comprehensive policy on free movement.

We cannot have a comprehensive policy on free movement because we

are not currently sitting at the negotiating table. I think there has

to be negotiation and the government has no plans whatsoever. What is

clear is that the Labour Party will put the economy first but the

economy must work not just for those at the top but every level. You are

facing a by-election in Cumbria and in that by-election it will be a

hard fight. Voters voted to leave. Do you think that what Jeremy Corbyn

said today would reassure people who are natural Labour voters. People in

that constituency are worried about the state of the hospital, they are

worried about the future for their children and families. They're not

anti immigration in some abstract way, they are not racist or

xenophobic. They want to be part of an economy that works for everyone.

They might want fewer immigrants in their community for the same reasons

that Caroline Flint was talking about, you either want to raise the

question of racism. I'm saying most people I have ever met in the UK

regardless of their position on Brexit, are not anti-immigration in

abstract way, what they want is an economy and society that works for

everyone. What that means is that immigration has got to serve the

economy but the economy has to be something we can all share in. So

you do not allow the exploitation of migrant workers, you provide housing

for everyone, health care for everyone. I'm keen to stick to this

point, what Caroline was saying was that there may be an influx of

migration in a big city but in other areas even a small shift can make a

massive cultural difference. Do you accept that for some people that

cultural change, that change in their whole world is something that

is important to them and they're worried about being marked out as

racist if they even raise it. I do not think it is racist to be

concerned about the impact of immigration. I think that a lot of

people fear the other when the other is not even in their neighbourhood

but when there is an impact, it is the duty of government to provide

the public services, the housing, and to avoid the undercutting of

wages and that is the way to create an economy that works for everyone.

Let's move on to Jeremy Corbyn and his pronouncement this morning that

there was to be a wage cap. He talks about footballers earning millions

and bankers and so forth. Did you know he was going to say that?

Jeremy has been talking about inequality and general and wage

inequality in particular probably all of his life. Did you know that

he was going to announce this morning that he was in favour of a

cap. I think he was completely authentic. But not this afternoon

because he had to change that policy by then. That is not my reading of

it and you have asked me for my reading of it is not the BBC reading

of it. I am saying only that it was a major day for labour today, they

work to be setting up their stall on free movement of people mainly but

this was him rebooting for the New Year and it begins with a policy

that I understand no one in the Shadow Cabinet knew was going to

happen. That he was in favour of a cap on high pay and that was then

reversed this afternoon to be a nuance on a question of ratio. That

is not my reading of it. When you want to deal with wage inequality,

you have to deal with in it in different sectors and using

different tools. Footballers? In the public sector you could say we're

going to cap public sector pay at the top. We have a ratio system. In

the private sector you could look at things like tax incentives and the

ratio between people at the top and bottom of a company. The big

picture... Danny Blanchflower said it was a lunatic idea. But by the

afternoon Jeremy Corbyn has announced something completely

different, perhaps tweaking the tax system and an extension of the

ratios. There are different ways to approach wage inequality in

different sectors but what is clear and authentic is that Jeremy is for

a more equal Britain and many people are with him on that. During the day

today when Jeremy Corbyn was talking in Peterborough about free movement

and wage caps, his campaign director was messaging about the prices in

the health service. It is extraordinary that he was sending

messages about that on twitter, rather than addressing that huge

crisis today, he was saying one thing and his campaign director was

saying another. It was the perfect opportunity to take on the NHS

question head-on. That is about spin. It is about substance. I do

not think so, we have been doing a great job on the health service. The

Shadow Health Secretary... This was a major speech. You are saying that

Jeremy cannot talk about health care and inequality and Brexit.

Unfortunately this country is in such a pickle at the moment that it

is is responsibility to speak about all of these things. Do you think it

went well today for the ideal positive that Jeremy has spoken

authentically and spoken from his heart, directly to people and the

biggest criticism that you can put to me is that it seemed a bit too

unspun. We have an NHS crisis, criticism of the government Brexit

strategy, Labour 27% rating. You're not very well because perhaps days

like this happen and you appear to be going off cack handedly. You talk

about spin by Jeremy spoke from the heart about values and vision and I

think given the chance, he will speak directly to his audience and

that will go well. And that would be twitter. That would be twitter. It

is going to be more than twitter but we do have to speak more directly to

people, no question about that. The question of wage inequality, there

has been some developments and Chris Cook is here. Something came out

from the ONS today, slightly poorly timed because it suggests that there

has been quite good news on wage inequality. We have this graph

showing the coefficient, the propensity of inequality for the

population. What were drawn at the moment, these three major elections.

What we can see is this gigantic surge in inequality under the

Thatcher government, a slow retreat under Labour and then continued

retreat recently. Basically since 2007 there has been ?1600 increase

in the wages at the bottom fifth and ?1000 so for wages of the top. So

actually inequality has been shifting since the financial crisis.

And Jeremy Corbyn has been speaking about this a lot so presumably you

would give credit to the Conservative government, since 2010,

for bringing this inequality down. The figures you describe, forgive me

they are a drop in the ocean. For people who cannot afford the rail

hike, who cannot leave home in their 20s and buy a home, in real terms

inequality is a gaping chasm in the country and ?1000 at the top just is

not going to cut it. Thank you both. Donald Trump's son-in-law and close

confidante Jared Kushner Yesterday his father in law gave

the multi millionaire an early birthday present

when he appointed him as a senior White House advisor -

a reward perhaps for his tireless Kushner is a property developer

and a newspaper owner,it is not yet clear whether he will have to divest

himself of all his interests to take up the apparently unpaid

hugely influential role. What's even less clear

is Jared Kushner's politics. Here's our Diplomatic

Editor Mark Urban. Some of the new Jersey property

baron, Jared Kushner had a privileged upbringing. His path from

Harvard in the family firm looked like plain sailing. Until 2005, when

his father Charlie was convicted of tax evasion and witness tampering. I

was there, Charlie was a well-respected member of his family

and community. It was a terrible blow to the family. Jared as the

second oldest child, it was hard for him and for his sisters and brother.

The Kushner conviction sprang from vicious political and family

rivalries. Mr Krishna engaged in a conspiracy. Some have claimed that

this battle left Jared Kushner with a strong desire for revenge. There's

definitely a psychological drama at play, a lot of people spoke about

Kushner wanting revenge early in this election season. Now Chris

Christie is nowhere in the picture when it comes to the Trump

administration. In these cases, often there is at least a glimmer or

grain of truth to these stories. We have seen both in Trump and Kushner

a desire to get even. Hungry yet, or do we start another day. The life of

Jared Kushner with turns of fortune feels a little like a 19th-century

novel. It has been reported that his favourite book is indeed the Count

of Monte Cristo. A saga of how unjust imprisonment leads the hero

to amass a fortune and he spent a lifetime seeking revenge. Certainly

his alliance through marriage with the Trump family has now brought him

to the apex of political power. Jared is a very successful real

estate agent but I think he likes politics more than real estate. He

is very good at politics. Notoriously reluctant to give

interviews, Kushner, who is Jewish, took to the pages of a newspaper he

owns to desert -- to defend Trump against a charge of anti-Semitism

during a campaign. One of the people you see behind you in the newsroom

is Danish wards who broke the story for us and it shows you what I mean

about a publisher who does not, is not heavy-handed. She wrote a piece

questioning why Donald Trump, are clearly anti-Semitic element, come

to support him. And Jared answered, no candidate can be held responsible

for every one of their millions of supporters. But I know this guy and

there is not a racist or anti-Semitic bone in his body. When

Trump to the White House, his son-in-law was also there. Kushner

was credited with designing a winning campaign on a shoestring and

has knowledge of how Washington actually works is slight. Perhaps

he's a very able person but we have no track record to judge that. He

has no experience and he is coming this position by his family network

and so he has got to prove himself. But it is not for nothing that there

are anti-nepotism laws and it is not just this one relative, there are

always relatives that Trump is putting into power very close to

power, without appropriate Chinese walls. So it is a problem. If Jared

Kushner has a tendency for extremism it is in the matter of family

loyalty and that is what has made him indispensable to Donald Trump.

As for his actual politics, he has exhibited what Henry Kissinger has

characterised as a considerable degree of constructive ambiguity.

Jared is that there are guy and listens to a lot of people and is

willing to be persuaded but ultimately he is quite decisive. The

Observer I think is the only newspaper in the country for example

that endorsed both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in their respective

primaries. That shows not only the ideological diversity but that we

pick winners. Not forgetting the Count of Monte Cristo. After the

Trump victory, Chris Christie, the man expected to organise the new

administration, but who had gloated when the father of Jared Kushner was

convicted, was fired. Is it my turn? It is. When it comes to the new

White House and the influence on Trump, many in high hopes on his

special adviser, just 35 years old. Many people in Washington and New

York found some comfort that Jared Kushner was going to be in the ear

of Donald Trump before big decisions are made. So much of what Trump said

on the campaign trail was so toxic and frightening and yet can see is

someone who is soft-spoken, he is moderate, in some ways he is a

progressive. And off some of the hard edges of Donald Trump. In the

dwindling days of the Obama presidency, many in Washington are

anxious. The President-elect could not be more different in style and

one reason why they now pin their hopes on those around Trump.

We're joined by Tim Webber, who is the chief creative

officer at Framestore - the Bafta and Oscar-awarding winning

visual effects studio, and Anna Smith, the president

Good evening to you both. Anna, first of all, argue squeamish --

argue squeamish about keeping actors alive for commercial gain? Yes,

especially in that advert with Audrey Hepburn, it feels slightly

queasy and strange to see them recreated, albeit brilliantly. It is

too uncanny. If an actor sadly dies in the middle of making a film they

have already consented to being, it would be their wish to continue with

that, but to completely recreate them is another matter. I wonder

what you would say to that, because Framestore is one of the companies

that can do this stuff, but it is no longer a performance by an actor. It

is still a performance by an actor, but that will be a different one. It

is a recreated actor. I look at it as essentially digital make-up. It

is another actor, not Peter Cushing, but he is wearing digital make-up.

That is different to people dressing up when they are giving performances

as the Queen or as... But they are alive. Or as Winston Churchill.

People wear make up and try and become other people will stop it is

part of acting. If it was the case that the whole Indiana Jones

franchise were rebooted in 20 years, and people thought, we have to have

Harrison Ford in this role, you would have no qualms about that? I

would have qualms. It is a nuanced thing to do and it depends on fire

you are doing it and how you do it. But I also think it's not really up

to us to judge whether that should happen or not. I think it is hard to

know who can judge when someone is dead, but the estate of the person,

I think, are probably the best people to make the call. Anna. Is

the estate the best person? Only the actor can judge. The performances

are so nuanced and a lot of it is about empathy. You think about the

great performances of our time, and often they are whimsical and cannot

be recreated easily. I heard that Carrie Fisher altered her Star Wars

scripts - that obviously can't happen if she is going to be, as it

were, recreated for the last one in the franchise. It won't be the

Carrie Fisher, the personality of Carrie Fisher. Absolutely. I can see

the conundrum. If I were them, I would find a smaller role so that if

there is a CGI Carrie Fisher, at least it is not a huge role. Is

there an issue in this precarious profession that keeping going with

the whole lot is actually rather uncreative, when you think of the

new lot coming through. That certainly is a danger, and I think

the film industry has a tendency to be uncreative and to stick to

proving things from the past. -- things that are proven. A film star

is far more than just a visit, it is the performance. That will not be

Peter Cushing's performance. It might be a fine performance by a

contemporary actor, but it is not Peter Cushing. By a doppelganger.

The actor who was anonymous, because he does not get credit for his

performance, is digitally enhanced himself, or herself, and then

elements of Peter Cushing's face are recreated? That's correct.

Essentially, they are made to look like Peter Cushing, which also does

involvement appellation of the performance, to a small extent, just

little ticks have to feel like they are Peter Cushing. It is complex. Do

you think it alters the audience responds when they know what they

are watching is something that is incredibly skilfully done, and they

might be taken up more by seeing how good the technology is than by

having an emotional connection with the character? When an actor is

deceased, you cannot help but be aware when they are so famous. It

takes the audience out of it. A lot of people said about the last Star

Wars film that it gave them a joke. It takes them out of the story a

bit. It makes it more like animate something, less like a naturalistic

human performance. It must. It certainly can be distracting, and I

think it is important to use it in the right way at the right time. It

can be distracting, but I don't think it need necessarily be less

like a human performance. That depends on the scale and techniques

that are used to create it. And I don't think we are there get. I have

looked at that Peter Cushing performance, and I look that you're

making of the Peter Cushing, and of course, I'm looking for everything

to think about whether or not it is the real person. It is very hard to

recreate a human. It is incredibly hard. It wasn't as who may Peter

Cushing. I don't think the skills have got to the point where it is

absolutely believable as a human being yet. Would you like to see

Carrie Fisher in the last of the franchise? I would, but not too much

because it would be distracting. I agree that a little bit would be a

good thing. It is important to have continuity to the story, but not too

much. Thank you both very much indeed. A quick look at the front

windy start to Wednesday. Gusts could reach 70 mph. There could be

travel disruption. The wind will bring showers with it, into the

northern half of the UK in particular. Some of those will be

wintry on high ground. The snow will be blowing around. There will be

some dry and bright intervals, but blustery into the afternoon. Also

blustery in northern England, with a scattering of showers. The strongest

winds will be to the east of the Pennines. Not many showers here, and

largely dry in East Anglia and the south-east. Some cloud and some

sunshine. A windy afternoon, Chile too. Through showers in the

south-west. A lot of dry weather. Pretty windy through the afternoon.
