:00:00. > :00:00.carriage felt 30 feet before landing on top of a children's ride. As

:00:00. > :00:00.Now on BBC News we can bring As you some of the highlights

:00:00. > :00:00.of a special edition of Question Time

:00:00. > :00:28.After a referendum that revealed a deeply divided country

:00:29. > :00:30.and has the main political parties falling apart,

:00:31. > :00:34.We are in Birmingham this evening, a city that was almost evenly

:00:35. > :00:36.divided between Leave and Remain, and our audience here

:00:37. > :00:41.Our panel, as always on Question Time, haven't seen any

:00:42. > :00:50.Now we have, on the side of Leave, the Conservative Justice

:00:51. > :00:52.Minister Dominic Raab, the deputy leader of Ukip,

:00:53. > :00:54.Paul Nuttall, and the parish priest and Guardian

:00:55. > :00:57.On the side of Remain, the Conservative Business

:00:58. > :00:59.Minister Anna Soubry, the SNP MP and former First Minister

:01:00. > :01:01.of Scotland, Alex Salmond, and Labour's Shadow International

:01:02. > :01:15.And just a word - if you want to use Facebook

:01:16. > :01:17.or Twitter during the programme to comment on what you

:01:18. > :01:27.Our hashtag, #bbcqt, text 83981 and you can push

:01:28. > :01:29.the red button to see what others are saying.

:01:30. > :01:35.Right, let's get stuck in with their very first question,

:01:36. > :01:37.and it comes from Chris Abbott, please.

:01:38. > :01:43.After decades of ignoring the working class, how does it feel

:01:44. > :01:58.Anna Soubry, how does it feel to be

:01:59. > :02:01.If I may say, I feel that, you know, that's the sort

:02:02. > :02:04.of language now that we've got to get away from.

:02:05. > :02:11.We've got to move forward, we've got to come together.

:02:12. > :02:14.I can assure you that my roots, as somebody brought up

:02:15. > :02:17.in North Nottinghamshire, and I like to think I still very

:02:18. > :02:19.much keep in touch, not only with my constituents but,

:02:20. > :02:21.you know, with where I came from and everything else,

:02:22. > :02:24.and I think this debate and this whole referendum has not

:02:25. > :02:34.I have witnessed language on the streets, which is where I've

:02:35. > :02:36.been, in the East Midlands, which is where I'm from,

:02:37. > :02:42.and I have heard words used and language used,

:02:43. > :02:44.you know, "Immigrants, get all these immigrants out."

:02:45. > :02:47.I have not witnessed that since I was a student

:02:48. > :02:49.here in Birmingham back in the mid-70s.

:02:50. > :03:02.And I am worried about the state of our nation.

:03:03. > :03:12.proud to have as part and parcel of our fundamental values,

:03:13. > :03:15.to a large extent has been put aside by too many people.

:03:16. > :03:18.So now we all need to come back together, we need to rebuild

:03:19. > :03:21.communities, we need to move on, and we have to put, if I may say,

:03:22. > :03:24.hope over hatred, and we have to stop preying on prejudice,

:03:25. > :03:29.Now we've got to come together and get on with the decision...

:03:30. > :03:32.But my guess is by ignoring the punch on the nose - decades

:03:33. > :03:35.decades of ignoring the working class - there was a clear division,

:03:36. > :03:37.wasn't there, in the result of this referendum?

:03:38. > :03:39.One half of the country, the more prosperous,

:03:40. > :03:43.And on the other hand, there were people who seemed

:03:44. > :03:51.to feel, according to everything they said, disaffected,

:03:52. > :03:59.left out - in the countryside and in some of the poorer cities.

:04:00. > :04:02.Yes, but it has to be said a lot of people who voted Leave,

:04:03. > :04:05.and they came from all classes in our society and backgrounds,

:04:06. > :04:07.and many people who voted Leave voted for reasons I don't agree

:04:08. > :04:09.with and which were completely honourable, but unfortunately

:04:10. > :04:13.I think a lot of people also voted Leave for reasons which I am

:04:14. > :04:15.The immigration thing, and that was wrong.

:04:16. > :04:18.What were you actually getting at, Chris?

:04:19. > :04:21.I think what has been exposed by this referendum is the deep

:04:22. > :04:23.divisions within the country, and Labour strongholds like Walsall,

:04:24. > :04:26.my hometown, have voted to leave, and all over the country

:04:27. > :04:28.they have chosen the same idea, to leave.

:04:29. > :04:32.Now, really, in the past that would never have happened,

:04:33. > :04:34.so there is massive disconnect I believe, between the parties

:04:35. > :04:37.and their electorate, to not be able to sort

:04:38. > :04:54.I was a vicar in Blakemore for a little while so I know

:04:55. > :04:58.And many people there feel left behind by globalisation,

:04:59. > :05:01.feel that they haven't been listened to, attended to, and I understand

:05:02. > :05:10.I think some of that anger has been misdirected, some of that anger has

:05:11. > :05:13.been exploited by the far right in absolutely disgraceful ways,

:05:14. > :05:15.and that has to be said, but that anger is...

:05:16. > :05:23.Who do you mean by the far right, Ukip?

:05:24. > :05:30.Yeah, I do think that, I think that that Ukip

:05:31. > :05:32.poster was absolutely disgraceful, and...

:05:33. > :05:41.It soiled an important argument we were having,

:05:42. > :05:46.There is a legitimate anger in places where people have been

:05:47. > :05:53.They have been ignored by London, and now they're being sneered at for

:05:54. > :06:04.And I just want to say one thing - there are not 17.4 million

:06:05. > :06:11.And that is absolutely important to say.

:06:12. > :06:18.Do you want to respond to what he said about Ukip?

:06:19. > :06:21.Well, look, Ukip certainly isn't a far right party.

:06:22. > :06:22.We have campaigned against the European Union

:06:23. > :06:24.since our inception, and I just think this

:06:25. > :06:31.really was the people versus the establishment.

:06:32. > :06:33.It was ordinary working class people against the Brussels elite,

:06:34. > :06:35.against the big banks, against big business,

:06:36. > :06:37.against Project Fear, and I just want to know

:06:38. > :06:39.where the Chancellor is at the moment, because he seems

:06:40. > :06:47.to have disappeared - altogether.

:06:48. > :06:50.Now, Giles spoke about the sneering now because people were angry.

:06:51. > :06:57.A Guardian columnist yesterday wrote that we've got Brexit

:06:58. > :07:01.because of northern crappy towns, places like Preston,

:07:02. > :07:03.in my constituency, people like Wigan and Blackburn

:07:04. > :07:07.and Burnley, and I have had enough of this London-centric Metropolitan

:07:08. > :07:10.and Burnley, and I have had enough of this London-centric metropolitan

:07:11. > :07:13.snobbery which has infested this country for far too long...

:07:14. > :07:19.I can exclusively reveal that the Chancellor has been

:07:20. > :07:29.kidnapped, but nobody is going to pay the ransom,

:07:30. > :07:32.and that's why you haven't seen him...

:07:33. > :07:34.In reality, let's face it.

:07:35. > :07:38.There was the Project Fear on the economy led by

:07:39. > :07:40.the Prime Minister and the Chancellor, but there was also

:07:41. > :07:43.the other Project Fear, and that's the one on immigration,

:07:44. > :07:54.which was at the heart of the Out campaign,

:07:55. > :07:56.and the consequences, given that the Out campaign won,

:07:57. > :07:59.the consequences for society of that Project Fear, I think are very deep,

:08:00. > :08:02.and therefore the first thing that politicians should be doing,

:08:03. > :08:04.not worrying about the dislocation of their own parties,

:08:05. > :08:06.but they should be worrying about the dislocation that may

:08:07. > :08:10.Now I am not a signed up member of the British establishment -

:08:11. > :08:14.And I am extremely proud that the one political leader

:08:15. > :08:16.who wasn't turned over by the electorate on Thursday

:08:17. > :08:20.was Nicola Sturgeon, who got a resounding vote to remain,

:08:21. > :08:22.in Scotland, in Europe, last Thursday, but I do recognise

:08:23. > :08:24.that the political establishment who have been rejected

:08:25. > :08:28.by their electorate better start facing it and better start

:08:29. > :08:39.reconnecting, and how you do that, how you offer people, though,

:08:40. > :08:41.reconnecting, and how you do that, how you offer people hope,

:08:42. > :08:43.because there is only one antidote to fear,

:08:44. > :08:46.whether it is fear of the economy or fear of immigration,

:08:47. > :08:49.and that is to offer people hope and a way forward.

:08:50. > :08:52.OK, let's hear from some members of our audience.

:08:53. > :08:58.wet and on and, just like me, the majority of young people voted two

:08:59. > :09:00.remains I just want to know from you what you think the golden

:09:01. > :09:06.opportunities are for students know that they have left European Union?

:09:07. > :09:07.-- I am a law student here at the University of Birmingham and, just

:09:08. > :09:11.like me. APPLAUSE

:09:12. > :09:15.Can I add a rider to that? Are you a line at the high proportion of young

:09:16. > :09:22.people who really upset by this were the vote went because a larger

:09:23. > :09:25.proportion of them voted to remain? I am concerned to make sure all of

:09:26. > :09:28.the 40% including the young generation are carried with us. I

:09:29. > :09:33.have to say I think the EU has been disastrous for the young generation

:09:34. > :09:35.given the levels of youth unemployment in the EU, and

:09:36. > :09:40.particularly in the Eurozone, rising to 50%. But I think we do need to do

:09:41. > :09:43.more to spell out the positive vision to carry your generation, but

:09:44. > :09:47.actually the whole country... But what opportunities are there? What

:09:48. > :09:51.opportunities do you think will come from Brexit? M's there will be job

:09:52. > :09:58.opportunities, higher wages... ? You? I am sorry. I would love to

:09:59. > :10:03.have answered your question but David has moved on -- there will be

:10:04. > :10:08.job opportunities. What do you say to this 19-year-old who voted to

:10:09. > :10:11.leave? This is not to be condescending or denigrate but I

:10:12. > :10:14.think a lot of my generation were naive in this referendum. Speaking

:10:15. > :10:19.to my peers, many felt they could get change in the EU. I am afraid

:10:20. > :10:22.all the empirical evidence, David Cameron's renegotiation, and actual

:10:23. > :10:27.structure of the EU should we were not going to get that.

:10:28. > :10:34.APPLAUSE Yes, then I will come to... As I

:10:35. > :10:38.said, you know, we are where we are. We have had a referendum. People

:10:39. > :10:42.have spoken, they have voted for us to leave the EU and now we must come

:10:43. > :10:47.together and we must negotiate under half of everybody the best deal. The

:10:48. > :10:51.other thing I think does need to be said is this. For decades, not

:10:52. > :10:56.weeks, and I have always believed we were better off in the EU. But for

:10:57. > :11:00.decades politicians from both the main parties had frankly said the EU

:11:01. > :11:05.was the route of most of our troubles, and had also, let's be

:11:06. > :11:09.honest about it, nobody had really made a positive case for immigration

:11:10. > :11:11.into our country. And if there is anything that comes out of this...

:11:12. > :11:16.APPLAUSE And I can give you this absolute

:11:17. > :11:24.promise, whatever my future may remain upbeat, I will not stand any

:11:25. > :11:28.longer and make the positive case for migration and immigration in our

:11:29. > :11:34.country. It has delivered for decades to the benefit of our

:11:35. > :11:35.nation, both economically and socially...

:11:36. > :11:45.APPLAUSE Are you saying the positive case

:11:46. > :11:49.wasn't made? Yes, it has been a real feeling of our us as politicians.

:11:50. > :11:54.Why did David Cameron not make the positive case? I am speaking about,

:11:55. > :11:58.if I dare say, myself. I put my hands up. I have always been liberal

:11:59. > :12:02.on immigration. I have always said these things. They have not always

:12:03. > :12:07.found a voice and people have not always listen, and now as a society

:12:08. > :12:10.let's debate immigration. Let's let that positive boys sing out about

:12:11. > :12:20.the positive benefits of people who come here to work -- the positive

:12:21. > :12:23.voice thing out. I will be positive about immigration. Immigration is

:12:24. > :12:26.exceptionally positive when it is controlled, and that is what we have

:12:27. > :12:29.now. We are going to take back control of our own borders and

:12:30. > :12:33.therefore the people who will make those decisions will be the people

:12:34. > :12:39.we elect to... That is the right way to do it. Listen, whilst we are in

:12:40. > :12:44.the European Union we don't have to sign up to the freedom of movement

:12:45. > :12:49.of people. We can be like Australia and take that control back. The man

:12:50. > :12:53.in the green shirt... Can I just see how upset I am with the Remain side

:12:54. > :12:58.of the argument because you only consider the EU migrants in this

:12:59. > :13:03.country. Us non-EU migrants, we have been discriminated against hugely by

:13:04. > :13:07.the UK immigration system because there are high numbers coming in

:13:08. > :13:12.from the EU and all of the opportunities, all the chances, all

:13:13. > :13:14.the jobs, they are going to EU nationals and non-EU nationals have

:13:15. > :13:22.no rights whatsoever in this country.

:13:23. > :13:26.APPLAUSE I understand that argument, sir, and

:13:27. > :13:31.I heard that argument, but I put it to you. If you really think that the

:13:32. > :13:36.right of the Conservative Party and Ukip want to have your Eastern

:13:37. > :13:40.European migrants so they can have more commonwealth migrants, you have

:13:41. > :13:47.not been paying attention. APPLAUSE

:13:48. > :13:52.Of the question -- on the question of lies and misrepresentation, which

:13:53. > :13:56.somebody raised, you know, some of the promises made by the Leave

:13:57. > :13:59.people unravelled within hours. Dominick is no telling us we want to

:14:00. > :14:05.take our time. Lots of people thought we would come out of Europe

:14:06. > :14:13.today. We never said that. We never said it. Controlling immigration.

:14:14. > :14:17.You just want to rerun the debate. For words, not backwards. It is

:14:18. > :14:21.important to show how the promises people voted on have unravelled in

:14:22. > :14:27.hours. You spoke on immigration. Hours after the vote, we will not

:14:28. > :14:30.bring down numbers of migrants. Ask those -- as for those millions of

:14:31. > :14:32.pounds the Leave people said would be spent on the NHS...

:14:33. > :14:39.APPLAUSE No Nigel Farage is saying, we never

:14:40. > :14:43.meant to say that -- no Nigel Farage. Their story is unravelling!

:14:44. > :14:50.You would like the referendum fought again? No, I said right at the

:14:51. > :14:58.beginning, David, it is an important vote and I respected. I had nothing

:14:59. > :15:01.to do with Vote Leave. I would have not have joined them and campaign

:15:02. > :15:04.for them. It was Vote Leave who have that slogan on the side of the boss,

:15:05. > :15:12.not Nigel Farage, so stop scaremongering. I am sick of it. If

:15:13. > :15:16.you want to win an election, stop the sanctimony, because we are sick

:15:17. > :15:18.and tired of it. There was an interview on this morning with Nigel

:15:19. > :15:24.Farage and the presenter challenged him over the money to be spent on

:15:25. > :15:31.the NHS. That was Vote Leave, it was not Nigel Farage. He has nothing to

:15:32. > :15:37.do with Vote Leave. You ever had the ?350 million, we are all agreed it

:15:38. > :15:41.was a light? -- but whoever had it. We are all agreed it was alive. I

:15:42. > :15:49.will take a question from Margaret then give time for general questions

:15:50. > :15:54.at the end -- it was a lie. Has Armageddon arrived for our political

:15:55. > :16:00.parties instead? After it was promised to come by Remain.

:16:01. > :16:07.APPLAUSE When they went on air I think, Diane

:16:08. > :16:10.Abbott, Jeremy Corbyn had lost ten members of the Shadow Cabinet. You

:16:11. > :16:15.will not know this but while we have been on air, he has also lost the

:16:16. > :16:18.Shadow Attorney General. So from Labour's point of view, the party

:16:19. > :16:21.does seem to be unravelling under the pressure of this referendum, and

:16:22. > :16:27.people seem very unhappy with what Jeremy Corbyn did. I will come to

:16:28. > :16:33.the Tory party in a moment. On the question of Armageddon I actually

:16:34. > :16:36.think the project -- Project Fear stuff was exaggerated and in the end

:16:37. > :16:39.did not convince people and that is why the Leave people won. On the

:16:40. > :16:45.question of Jeremy Corbyn, it is a funny thing. I think the clear

:16:46. > :16:49.lessons of this vote after the EU, it is that people all over the

:16:50. > :16:56.country do not want politics as usual. If there is any party leader

:16:57. > :16:58.who stands for not politics as usual, it is Jeremy Corbyn. The

:16:59. > :17:01.truth is... APPLAUSE

:17:02. > :17:05.The truth is the Labour MPs who have been running around in circles today

:17:06. > :17:10.have been planning this for months. And I believe, because they have

:17:11. > :17:13.never accepted the result of last summer's leadership contest. It is

:17:14. > :17:18.because they did not accept he played a proper part in the

:17:19. > :17:22.referendum campaign... No, they have been speaking about this for months.

:17:23. > :17:25.It is a relevant holy run the campaign? They have used this but

:17:26. > :17:30.they have been speaking about it for months, -- Italy's irrelevant how he

:17:31. > :17:35.ran the campaign. We should be talking about people, going after

:17:36. > :17:37.people, reconstructing relationships with their base. We should not be

:17:38. > :17:45.running around playing Westminster games. Alex Salmond. I think the

:17:46. > :17:52.lady had a great question. Nicola Sturgeon looks fine at the present

:17:53. > :17:55.moment, but... Well, she does. Let's not use the SNP as an answer to

:17:56. > :17:59.every question. And it you do not like to talk about it, but never

:18:00. > :18:03.mind. The Prime Minister has gone, 11 members of the Shadow Cabinet

:18:04. > :18:06.have gone, Jeremy Corbyn might be going. David, I am just glad you're

:18:07. > :18:12.still here. You are the fixture... LAUGHTER

:18:13. > :18:15.APPLAUSE I hate to tell you that I am not

:18:16. > :18:23.part of the Constitution. Anna Soubry? The leaving of Kyle

:18:24. > :18:26.Turner is very significant. He is no playwright or troublemaker. He is

:18:27. > :18:35.very far into the left of the Labour Party and it is significant that he

:18:36. > :18:38.has gone -- he is no Blairite. Obviously Diane does not want to

:18:39. > :18:42.speak about the meltdown in the Labour Party. We can't speak about

:18:43. > :18:48.my party, yes, but we need a good strong opposition. OK, let's speak

:18:49. > :18:54.about your party. Do you want Boris as your leader? I am not friends

:18:55. > :18:59.with Boris at the moment. It is not a question of friendship. There is a

:19:00. > :19:02.good question that having led this he should jolly well get on and make

:19:03. > :19:07.the best of what he has brought us two, but I want a leader who can be

:19:08. > :19:11.a proper world player, who is a grown-up reader with the credibility

:19:12. > :19:18.and also has had seen your experience in national Government --

:19:19. > :19:21.drawn up leader. Anyone in mind? I actually have an open mind.

:19:22. > :19:24.Genuinely, I see what I think. I think there are some very good

:19:25. > :19:35.people coming forward, and they have... It is the qualities... I am

:19:36. > :19:37.a Jeremy Corbyn fan and I think probably the Blairites are making

:19:38. > :19:40.their move there because the Chilcott report is coming out, what

:19:41. > :19:45.is it, next month? APPLAUSE

:19:46. > :19:49.And they can't come out after that. But to be serious, the problem is

:19:50. > :19:55.for the Labour Party, and I have no happiness seeing this, it is much

:19:56. > :19:58.deeper, this referendum has revealed how out of touch so many in the

:19:59. > :20:04.Labour Party are with their base, and that is extremely worrying I

:20:05. > :20:08.think because the people who may be beneficiaries of that are the far

:20:09. > :20:11.right, and that worries me enormously.

:20:12. > :20:15.APPLAUSE By my watch we have just over five

:20:16. > :20:18.minutes to go. We have heard a lot of arguments. There is one

:20:19. > :20:23.particular thing I would like to raise because 3 million people who

:20:24. > :20:27.voted to remain have now asked for another vote and the petition. I

:20:28. > :20:31.would like to hear from people who voted Remain and feel somehow things

:20:32. > :20:36.went wrong for for them and their discontent with the answer. You,

:20:37. > :20:40.sir? Yes, I think the British public not only bought it for Brexit but it

:20:41. > :20:42.was also a no-confidence vote in this Government, so we should have a

:20:43. > :20:50.General Election. APPLAUSE

:20:51. > :20:54.Did you vote Remain? From you. If we did have a General Election and the

:20:55. > :20:59.winning side explicitly campaign not to invoke Article 50, is a second

:21:00. > :21:04.referendum a realistic possibility? That is what I am clinging to.

:21:05. > :21:08.General Election then a second referendum after negotiations? Does

:21:09. > :21:11.anybody think that is possible? There is a petition up at the

:21:12. > :21:21.moment, isn't there? 3 million people. And 30,000 signed up from

:21:22. > :21:27.the Vatican City which it has 8 million people living there! Think

:21:28. > :21:31.it is only 400,000 people who have signed the petition and are eligible

:21:32. > :21:35.to vote in this country. Back to the question on the fragmentation of

:21:36. > :21:37.politics. And literally feel the Westminster jigsaw has been thrown

:21:38. > :21:43.on the floor and they will really have to put this back together. I do

:21:44. > :21:46.not think in the long term the Labour Party can survive in its

:21:47. > :21:50.current form. If Corbyn gets the signatories he will go back on that

:21:51. > :21:53.ballot paper and he will be re-elected and in the end people

:21:54. > :21:56.like Chuka Umunna and Tristram Hunt will have to make a decision and I

:21:57. > :22:03.can see a gang of four moments down the line again. Speaking about new

:22:04. > :22:07.political parties, has Ukip done its bit and can be now retire?

:22:08. > :22:15.APPLAUSE Absolutely not! Giles, there is a

:22:16. > :22:18.fragmentation, as he said, particularly between the Labour

:22:19. > :22:22.Party and working class seat and that is where Ukip had the biggest

:22:23. > :22:30.vote for Brexit... M's open house. You with the spectacles on? -- open

:22:31. > :22:33.house. With the request for another referendum, and let's entertain this

:22:34. > :22:37.just for a moment, what happens if people still vote Leave in the

:22:38. > :22:46.second one, do we just keep having referendums after referendum?

:22:47. > :22:52.APPLAUSE I voted Remain and it has left me

:22:53. > :22:56.feeling quite upset about leaving the EU but also with a deep mistrust

:22:57. > :23:00.of politicians on both sides of the campaign. I heard a lot of rhetoric

:23:01. > :23:04.about, we are going to build hope and bring people together, but what

:23:05. > :23:09.are you actually going to do? What is it that worries you? It worries

:23:10. > :23:14.me that there are a lot of people in society who are no marginalised --

:23:15. > :23:19.no marginalised and another part of this country, which left a lot of

:23:20. > :23:22.people on the Remain said no feeling they are not connected to society so

:23:23. > :23:26.I am wondering what to do about that. What do you think? I think

:23:27. > :23:30.there needs to be a real engagement with politics. I am quite strongly

:23:31. > :23:32.Labour and think Corbyn is a really good leader and think a lot of

:23:33. > :23:36.people spend time trying to undermine him because he does

:23:37. > :23:41.something different to the usual politicians. You at the back. Do you

:23:42. > :23:48.think it was irresponsible of David Cameron not to negotiate a scenario

:23:49. > :23:55.for a Brexit when he went to negotiate the exit times? You mean

:23:56. > :23:59.he should have done that to things at the same time -- exit terms. I

:24:00. > :24:03.think it is something that has gone wrong. The problem has been you

:24:04. > :24:10.cannot say to people, after decades of telling them the EU is not good,

:24:11. > :24:13.in four months, to say to people, actually, not only is it rather

:24:14. > :24:21.good, but positively go out and vote for it. That has been a problem in

:24:22. > :24:26.politics. Do you want to... Were you listening? I was focusing on the

:24:27. > :24:31.question about the political class being broken. I do not see... Or

:24:32. > :24:34.trust in the political class. If that is true, and I hope it is not

:24:35. > :24:38.and I hope it is salvageable, but I do not see how the answer can be to

:24:39. > :24:41.ignore the outcome of a referendum were we got the biggest democratic

:24:42. > :24:45.mandate for change in recent history, certainly in my lifetime. I

:24:46. > :24:48.think the answer has to be to respect that verdict but make sure

:24:49. > :24:53.and try to find some stronger unity of purpose as we go forward in the

:24:54. > :25:01.manner we conduct that exit negotiation. OK, very quickly. With

:25:02. > :25:09.4% of the world scientists and 16% of the world's most highly cited

:25:10. > :25:12.scientific papers, those rely on all that EU funding. How do you expect

:25:13. > :25:19.of a leading role in the world economy if you cannot fund research?

:25:20. > :25:25.APPLAUSE The funding of research. He is

:25:26. > :25:38.right, but we lost. We have to move on. It is all to play for. I am

:25:39. > :25:41.sorry. We have come to the end of our hour those of my thanks to our

:25:42. > :25:48.panel and for all of you came here to Birmingham this evening. Good

:25:49. > :25:49.evening. -- from Question Time, good
