Boris Johnson hosts a summit of allies in London | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
to discuss how to broker a peace settlement in Syria. | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
But as war continues to rage, could "no-bomb zones" - | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
thought to be backed by the Foreign Secretary - | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
protect civilians, and how would they work? | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
We were told by the Remain campaign that a vote to leave the EU would | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
But with the economy growing and employment at record | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
Can Theresa May make a decision on airport expansion | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
without triggering a Conservative cabinet bust-up | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
We look at what's at stake, as the PM prepares to choose | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
In London, with a decision imminent on whether to expand Heathrow, is | :01:17. | :01:31. | |
Brexit causing uncertainty in the aviation sector? | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
All that to come before 12.15 - and the Scottish Secretary, David | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
Mundell, on Nicola Sturgeon's plans for a second referendum | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
And with me throughout - Tom Newtown Dunn, | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
Julia Hartley-Brewer and Steve Richards. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
They'll all be tweeting their thoughts and comments | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
So, in just over an hour, the Foreign Secretary, | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
Boris Johnson, will host a meeting of foreign allies in London, | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
including US Secretary of State John Kerry, | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
to discuss military options in Syria. | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Last week, Mr Johnson said the public mood had changed | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
after relentless bomb attacks on Aleppo | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
and that more "kinetic action" might be possible. | :02:14. | :02:22. | |
Has the public mood changed on Syria? There is a desire to end the | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
horror, but has the public mood really changed? Not really. When | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
asked, the Public say that something must be done and we must stop the | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
slaughter, but when also asked whether to put British troops there, | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
they say, probably not. We have a new Foreign Secretary and British | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
government, and we will have a new White House come January for sure. | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
So there is a feeling that what has gone so far in terms of not | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
intervening, not trying to oppose or block Putin from doing what he wants | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
in Syria has failed, so time to try something else. There was talk of a | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
no-fly zone. There's not so much talk about it now. Now there's | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
suddenly a no-bomb zone. Are we clear what that would be? It is | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
meaningless without a no-fly zone and no one is willing to enforce it. | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
For me, the biggest issue is, what is the point of the United Nations? | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
With Russia vetoing any possible peace plan, we are in a situation | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
where we are basically handing over our moral authority in the world for | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
dealing with humanitarian disasters and war crimes being committed by | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
the side regime and Putin to an organisation which is controlled by | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
Putin effectively because he has a veto on the Security Council. The | :03:50. | :04:01. | |
situation is untenable. We cannot sit and pretend we don't want to be | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
involved in this war. We are already at war, and we will be at war. We | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
need to get to grips with it sooner or later. If we are willing to say | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
that we don't care about Syrian children dying... But we are not | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
willing to say that, so we need to do something about it. We could care | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
deeply but admits there is not something we can do about it. | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
Indeed. When Julia says "Get involved", that does not translate | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
to anything precise or specific. The problem is you go round in circles | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
when it comes to reaction, because when people are then asked what the | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
endgame is - and you do need to have a sense of the end and an aim, and | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
one of the problems with Iraq was that there was not that - you can | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
simply say, something needs to be done and we are involved and there | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
should be military action, but that raises 10,000 other questions which | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
no one is capable of answering. As I understand it, the no-bomb zone | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
would be that we would designate areas where no bombing would be | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
allowed. We wouldn't have planes to stop it happening, but if bombing | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
did happen in those areas, we would use missiles to take out Syrian | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
infrastructure. It seems complicated, and to not take into | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
account what we would do if the Russians put anti-missile batteries | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
around this Syrian infrastructure, as well they might. And you could go | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
one step further. Your understanding is the same as mine. Doing something | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
to prevent drops being -- ones being dropped in that area, but without | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
engaging with Russia. You could fire cruise missiles into a runway, which | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
we were warned could be done, but the problem is, you could have a | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
Russian jet in the middle of that runway, or a bus of school kids. We | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
know that they are capable of doing that. You are looking towards a | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
confrontation with Russia, what ever you do. Boris Johnson would say this | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
is the kind of HARDtalk we need to get the man to listen, because | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
everything else has failed. Mr Kerry being there is significant, but at | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
this stage in the election cycle, it's hard to sue what -- see what Mr | :06:24. | :06:33. | |
Obama would do. We have no idea what to reason may's foreign policy is in | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
terms of intervention. The last thing she would want to do is to get | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
involved in a Middle Eastern war. But we are already involved. And the | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
idea that our entire foreign policy should be based on not having a | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
conflict in the Putin... The West as a whole is not wanting to have a | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
conflict with him, and that is why he is acting how he is. | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland, has repeated her | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
warning that, if the UK leaves the single market, she will push for | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
Speaking to Andrew Marr earlier this morning, Ms Sturgeon said | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
she would not hesitate to protect Scotland's economic interests. | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
There's a principle here about, you know, | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
Does what we think, and what we say, and how | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
And that's what's going to be put to the test, I think, | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Theresa May, perfectly legitimately, says she values the UK, | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
In the Independence Referendum, Scotland was told repeatedly | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
My message to the Prime Minister is, it's now time to prove these | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
things, and demonstrate to Scotland that our voice does count | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
within the UK, and our interests can be protected. | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
Because if that's not the case, then I think Scotland | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
would have the right to decide whether it wanted to follow | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
I've been joined by the Secretary of State for Scotland, David Mundell. | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
Welcome to the Sunday Politics. During the Scottish referendum | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
campaign, two years ago, the ETA Together campaign claimed that the | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
only guaranteed way for Scotland to remain in the EU was to stay in the | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
UK. That turned out to be untrue. You owe the people of Scotland an | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
apology. That isn't the full facts. It was made clear during the | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
referendum in Scotland that there could be an EU referendum. Ruth | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
Davidson, on many occasions, made it clear that people in Scotland would | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
have the opportunity to vote on whether or not they remained in the | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
EU. What was clear in that referendum, and you played a | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
significant part in highlighting it, was that those who were advocating a | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
yes vote could not set out a clear route for Scotland to get into the | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
EU as an independent nation. They were told if they stayed in the UK, | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
that was their best route to remaining in Europe. It turned out, | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
it is obvious that that was untrue. It was a route that meant there was | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
going to be an EU referendum. That was made very clear throughout that. | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
People voted in Scotland decisively to remain part of the UK in full | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
knowledge that there would be a referendum on whether the United | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
Kingdom remained in the European Union. That is what the vote on the | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
23rd of June in Scotland was about. It was about the UK remaining in the | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
EU, not Scotland. The people of Scotland were told to vote for the | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
union to be sure of staying in the UK. They also voted 62% to 38% to | :09:39. | :09:47. | |
stay in the EU. Now they are being dragged out against their will. | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
Surely that is grounds for a second Scottish referendum? I don't accept | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
that. I've voted to stay in the EU, but I didn't do so on the basis that | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
if I didn't get my own way that Scotland would be dragged out of the | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
United Kingdom. We have had a once in a generation vote as to whether | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
Scotland remained part of the UK. There was a decisive result in that. | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
On the assumption that we would also remain part of the European Union, | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
so a major change has taken place. I don't accept that analysis. People | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
were told that there would be a vote on whether the UK remained in the | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
EU. The reasons for Scotland remaining in the UK were | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
overwhelmingly economic, and those issues remain today in relation to | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
the UK single market. It is very odd that people who are concerned about | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
the EU single market are quite willing to | :10:43. | :11:00. | |
give up the UK single market, which is four times as valuable to | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
Scotland, and responsible for a million jobs. If the Scottish | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
Government demands another referendum, will the UK Government | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
grant it? The UK Government will have two agreed to a referendum, but | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
we want to argue that there shouldn't be another referendum. It | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
is in Scotland's best interests at the two governments work together | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
with 18 UK approach to get the best possible situation for Scotland... | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
If the Scottish Parliament decides that we do want -- we do not like | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
the terms of Brexit and we want another referendum, would you grant | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
it? There would have to be an agreement between the two | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
governments in the same form as the Edinburgh Agreement. The great shame | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
of the Edinburgh Agreement, which the SNP used to quote repeatedly, is | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
that they have not adhere to it, because a fundamental part of that | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
would be that both sides would respect the result. Viewers will | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
notice that you haven't really answered my question. Could Scotland | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
remain inside the single market in Europe as part of the Brexit | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
process? From the outset, I have said we would listen to any proposal | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
that the Scottish Government brought forward in relation to Scotland's | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
interests. We have had for months and no specific proposals have come | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
forward. Nicola Sturgeon was talking about proposals this morning, but at | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
this moment, I see it impossible that Scotland could remain within | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
the EU whilst the rest of the UK leads. It would be difficult to see | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
how that could be achieved. But we will listen to any proposals the | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
Scottish Government bring forward in relation to achieving the best | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
interests of Scotland. I am convinced that Scotland's best | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
interests are being part of the UK. You praised Scotland's membership of | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
the single market during the referendum. In March of this year | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
you said it secured jobs, was vital to tourism and industry, inbound | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
visitors and the rest of it. So why would you not want to retain it for | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
Scotland? I agree with the benefits Scotland has received from the | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
single market, but we are in a different situation now. The UK is | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
negotiating its exit from the EU. The Prime Minister has said it is | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
not going to be on the basis of existing arrangements, it will be on | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
the basis of a new arrangement, and as part of that, we will want to | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
secure the best arrangement for Scottish businesses. Given the | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
history we have gone through, do you want to guarantee a special post | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
Brexit status for Scotland. We leave the EU, but Scotland will have a | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
distinct status? I'm willing to look at any proposal brought forward that | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
looks at Scotland's interests. We have had no specifics from the | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
Scottish Government. They say now that they have them. It is a bit rum | :13:58. | :14:06. | |
to attack the Scottish Government. The principle is, could Scotland | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
have a special position, and would you help that or not? I am willing | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
to listen to any proposal brought forward. Will fishing and farming go | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
back to Edinburgh? The devolution settlement are going to be a | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
change,... Will they go to Edinburgh or to London? We will have a | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
decision at the end of that process. I want to make sure we have the best | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
arrangement for Scotland. You can't answer the question? We want to | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
listen to what fishermen and farmers say, and the people of Scotland. It | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
will be a package of arrangements, clearly, that need to be taken | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
forward as a result of leaving the EU. One final question. If the | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
Scottish Nationalist MPs vote against grammar schools, which are | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
purely for England, isn't that proof that your English votes for English | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
laws isn't working? It demonstrates all MPs in the | :15:06. | :15:15. | |
Parliament have the opportunity to vote on all issues. You wouldn't | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
mind if they voted to stop Grammar schools? Of course I wouldn't -- | :15:21. | :15:31. | |
would mind... I think we have got the balance right in that | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
legislation. It is meaningless if they can vote to stop grammar | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
schools when it doesn't affect Scotland. They have to answer for | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
that, based on an opportunistic approach and cause resentment in | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
England. Thank you for being with us. | :15:53. | :15:53. | |
During the EU Referendum campaign, leading Remain supporters repeatedly | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
warned that a vote to leave the European Union would cause | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
Three months on, were their forecasts accurate? | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
Since the vote on June 23rd, the economic news | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
The value of the pound has been in pretty steady depreciation | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
since referendum day, falling to a 31-year | :16:11. | :16:12. | |
It was as low as $1.18 but has still rebounded a bit. | :16:13. | :16:20. | |
The weak pound left Tesco in a situation. | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
They stopped selling Marmite and other products for a day online | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
And a leaked Treasury report said that Government tax revenues | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
could be down by 66 billion a year in a post-Brexit economy. | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
Though the report emanated from Project Fear days. | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
However, many of the short-term economic fundamentals | :16:43. | :16:43. | |
The dominant service sector grew a healthy 0.4% in July. | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
In the same month, the unemployment rate dipped to under 5%, | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
House-buying has also been rising since the referendum, | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
nearly 110,000 properties were purchased in August. | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
Is the economy already suffering from the Brexit blues or not? | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
Joining me now is the former shadow Europe Minister, | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
the Labour MP Pat McFadden, who was a Business Minister | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
Do you know concede that nearly all the short-term economic forecasts | :17:16. | :17:29. | |
made by the Remain campaign have turned out to be untrue at best, | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
scaremongering at worst? No, I think this week was the week that the | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
beginnings of the economic effects of Brexit began to take hold, most | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
obviously on the currency fall. You talk about short-term, this began on | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
the night of the referendum itself and was given booster rockets by the | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
signals sent out by the Conservative Party conference. In terms of the | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
warnings next to reality, the warnings about the fall of the | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
currency speculated that it might fall in value by about 12%, the | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
reality is closer to 20%. Let's look at some of the warnings. We will | :18:09. | :18:17. | |
come back to the currency, but let's look at this. The Treasury report on | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
maybe 23rd said the following: That turned out to be untrue, didn't | :18:20. | :18:33. | |
it? What has happened here, which isn't in line with those warnings, | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
is consumer confidence has remained high. The actions of the Bank of | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
England in cutting interest have been important, so the short-term | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
effect in terms of consumer confidence... So it is wrong? Hasn't | :18:46. | :18:53. | |
turned out in line with that, but it would be complacent in the extreme | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
to conclude that with the effects of the currency which we know also from | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
the Bank of England's comments the other dates will feed into higher | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
prices, which will hit lower income consumers hardest. But we don't know | :19:08. | :19:15. | |
yet, I will come onto that but in the short term, I will show you | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
another one. A month before the referendum, the Chancellor George | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
Osborne said this: That turned out to be wronged too, | :19:22. | :19:34. | |
didn't it? We are not in recession but if you look at the forecasts of | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
growth over the next few years, the Bank of England have forecast growth | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
next year to not be the 2.3% it thought before the referendum but to | :19:44. | :19:52. | |
be 0.8%. Is it forecasting a recession? No, but it is forecasting | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
a slowdown which would mean GDP after two years would be for the ?5 | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
billion less than the estimates before the referendum took place. | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
And it might be wrong, because look, it was wrong about the recession. Is | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
anybody now forecasting a recession? I don't know if anybody is | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
forecasting a recession. The IMF are certainly forecasting a slowdown in | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
a similar way to the Bank of England. George Osborne also said | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
house prices will plummet by 18%. Any sign of that? House prices are | :20:29. | :20:36. | |
not plummeting by 18%. Your side that you represent made much of the | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
IMF's claim that provoked Leave would mean an immediate slide into | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
recession, a collapse in house prices, and a crash in stock markets | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
which of course are currently at record levels. Even the IMF admits | :20:53. | :21:00. | |
there is none of that. There maybe longer term dangers but in the | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
short-term it happen. In the short-term it didn't happen. In the | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
short term what has happened here, as I said a moment ago, is consumer | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
confidence has remained high, the Bank of England cut interest rates | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
which put more money into people's pockets and I think the action they | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
took was important, but I think it would be wrong to say imply that | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
because these things haven't happened in the first few months | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
that we are somehow out of the woods on the economy. I understand that, | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
that's the last thing I would say, but here's the question - most of | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
these forecasters are still pretty gloomy about the long-term but if | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
they couldn't get the last few months right, why would you trust | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
them for 2025 when they couldn't say what will happen in September? Why | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
would you trust them to say what happens five years from now? People | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
will ask the question but the big tangible we have is in the decline | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
of the currency and that is a real and now effect. We can talk about | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
whether it is lost or minus, but the Government said the other day this | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
would bring inflation back, to use his words it is going to get | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
difficult, particularly for people on lower incomes and that will feed | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
into people's purchasing power. The international markets partaking of | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
you have our future prospects and at the moment it is not a vote of | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
confidence. Do you agree with the latest Remain mantra that people | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
might have voted to leave the EU but didn't necessarily vote to leave the | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
single market? I do agree with that. A lot of people have said people who | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
voted to leave didn't know that's what they were voting for, so let me | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
show you a clip of David Cameron at the height of the referendum | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
campaign. The British public would be voting if we leave to leave the | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
EU and the single market, we then have to negotiate a trade deal from | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
outside with the European Union. There you have it loud and clear on | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
BBC television, voting Leave means leaving the single market, not | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
losing access to it but leaving the membership of it. We have George | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
Osborne on tape saying the same thing, so why do you make out Leave | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
voters didn't know what they were voting for? I think people voted | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
Leave for a number of different reasons. For some it might have been | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
immigration, for some it might have been the promise of more money for | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
the NHS, but there are number of countries outside the EU which can | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
have full access to the single market, we know about Norway and on. | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
But they all have to pay in and have free movement. We can come onto that | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
but what I'm saying is it's not the case that when you are outside the | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
EU you necessarily have to be outside the single market and the | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
reason this is important is because this has been a cornerstone of | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
British economic policy for many years, particularly in terms of our | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
inward investment, and the reasons why both manufacturing industry and | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
financial services has invested and created employment in the UK, and I | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
think it would be cavalier to begin this negotiation by closing the door | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
on that. Is it Labour's policy, I know you don't speak for Labour | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
leadership, but is it their policy to remain in the single market? You | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
are right, I'm a backbencher, but it is the policy to have as full access | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
as possible to the single market. At least what we have now in terms of | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
goods and services. You can call it membership or not but that is what | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
Keir Starmer and the Labour Party wants. The old party home affairs | :24:55. | :25:02. | |
select committee is blaming Jeremy Corbyn's lack of leadership for | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
creating a safe space for what they call vile anti-Semitism. Do you | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
agree with that? I think this report should be taken seriously. The | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
atmosphere in the Labour Party, there has been a lot of nasty things | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
said on social media over the past year in particular. I hope we don't | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
make the mistake of shooting the messenger, I hope we take the report | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
seriously and I hope we don't fall into the trap that sometimes I see | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
when these accusations are wielded, that we point to antiracism records | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
and say look at our virtue in our record here, that must mean we | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
cannot be anti-Semitic. Let me be clear about this, pointing to your | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
own sense of righteousness is no excuse for nastiness or cruelty to | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
someone else so we should take this very seriously indeed. Pat McFadden, | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
thank you for being with us this morning. | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
A third runway at Heathrow was first given the green | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
light by Gordon Brown's government in 2009. | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
Almost eight years on, could Theresa May be about finally | :26:09. | :26:10. | |
to allow Heathrow expansion to go ahead? | :26:11. | :26:12. | |
Or could she surprise everyone and back Gatwick instead? | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
Maybe she will come out in favour of both of them! | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
A decision is expected imminently, but it's not straightforward | :26:20. | :26:21. | |
Several members of her cabinet are opposed to any plan to expand | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
Heathrow, and reports suggest as many as 60 of her backbenchers | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
Our reporter, Mark Lobel, has been looking at | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
A growing number of people want to take more flights and some | :26:32. | :26:40. | |
accuse the Government of dragging their feet over | :26:41. | :26:42. | |
All the while, our airports are operating flat-out. | :26:43. | :26:53. | |
So this is fully autonomous, you just have to press the start | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
Matthew Hill is from a business-backed group campaigning | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
We haven't had a full-length runway in London and the south-east | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
Gatwick was built in the 1930s, Heathrow in the 1940s, | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
Heathrow is full, Gatwick will be full in the next few years. | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
Matthew's group claims the lack of a new runway is costing us | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
I think there are huge economic benefits from the construction | :27:24. | :27:30. | |
At the moment, because we don't have that new runway, we don't | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
have that new capacity, the new flights to new markets, | :27:35. | :27:36. | |
we are missing out on ?9.5 billion a year in lost trade. | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
Until we get that decision and we get that runway | :27:41. | :27:42. | |
built, we will continue to lose out on that trade. | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
One airport that's eager to expand is Heathrow, | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
either by expanding this northern runway, the one closest to us here, | :27:50. | :27:52. | |
or, the Airports Commission's favourite proposal, building | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
a new runway parallel to here, about a kilometre that way in place | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
It's said that would offer 40 new destinations from the airport, | :28:00. | :28:07. | |
carry lots more air freight, provide 70,000 new jobs | :28:08. | :28:09. | |
and an overall boost to economic activity in the country, | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
with a promise of no night flights, new environmental and community | :28:15. | :28:17. | |
Heathrow's hub status also services many of the UK's other airports, | :28:18. | :28:27. | |
On average, every year a quarter of a million passengers travel | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
to and from this key exporting region via Heathrow, | :28:34. | :28:35. | |
While we've been very strong supporters of a third runway | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
at Heathrow, we think it's in the best interests | :28:42. | :28:43. | |
of the north-east, we also think it's in the best | :28:44. | :28:46. | |
Our services connect to many, many destinations across the world, | :28:47. | :28:55. | |
and allow businesses to trade right the way across the globe. | :28:56. | :29:02. | |
Gatwick Airport also wants to expand with another runway here. | :29:03. | :29:08. | |
By doubling Gatwick's capacity, the plan would create 22,000 | :29:09. | :29:11. | |
new jobs, a vastly expanded short-haul network, and more | :29:12. | :29:14. | |
I think the expansion of Gatwick will bring firstly | :29:15. | :29:20. | |
the certainty of delivery, we can have spades in the ground | :29:21. | :29:23. | |
in this Parliament and we can be operational in the next, | :29:24. | :29:29. | |
so that's within ten years we can have a new runway, | :29:30. | :29:31. | |
and Gatwick can provide the increased capacity at a price | :29:32. | :29:34. | |
Now, before anyone gets carried away, there are of course some | :29:35. | :29:42. | |
people who would far prefer no extra planes in the sky. | :29:43. | :29:48. | |
We already fly more than everybody else, | :29:49. | :29:50. | |
most of these are leisure flights, well who's taking | :29:51. | :29:52. | |
Actually 70% of all of our flights are taken by 15% of the population. | :29:53. | :29:58. | |
It's a wealthy frequent-flying elite. | :29:59. | :30:02. | |
But with approval of a third runway looking likely, | :30:03. | :30:08. | |
could more protests be on the horizon? | :30:09. | :30:17. | |
I can tell you now, they are dusting off the handcuffs, you know, | :30:18. | :30:20. | |
And you have to remember, Heathrow, if they choose to expand | :30:21. | :30:23. | |
Heathrow, you are talking about hundreds of homes | :30:24. | :30:25. | |
being bulldozed, whole communities being eradicated, wiped off the map. | :30:26. | :30:28. | |
Over the last few years, since the last big protest around | :30:29. | :30:31. | |
Heathrow, the relationship between local people around | :30:32. | :30:33. | |
the airport and grass roots climate change activists | :30:34. | :30:36. | |
Those guys are going to get together and just cause merry hell for people | :30:37. | :30:41. | |
The Prime Minister, Theresa May, who once called for a better not | :30:42. | :30:50. | |
bigger Heathrow whilst in opposition, will chair a select | :30:51. | :30:53. | |
group of colleagues expected to decide imminently | :30:54. | :30:56. | |
on whether to build a new runway and where. | :30:57. | :30:59. | |
It will then take months for a national policy statement | :31:00. | :31:02. | |
outlining the new works to get drawn up before MPs get to vote on it, | :31:03. | :31:07. | |
leaving plenty of time for any further opposition to airport | :31:08. | :31:11. | |
I've been joined by two Conservative MPs. | :31:12. | :31:19. | |
Adam Afriyie is opposed to Heathrow expansion, | :31:20. | :31:21. | |
Adam, the independent Daviess report into runway expansion said the case | :31:22. | :31:42. | |
for Heathrow was clear and unanimous in the Commission. 180,000 more | :31:43. | :31:48. | |
jobs, more than ?200 billion in economic benefits. So why are you | :31:49. | :31:53. | |
putting the interests of your constituency before the national | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
interest? I will fight tooth and nail for the interests of my | :31:58. | :31:59. | |
constituents, but the wonderful thing about the binary choice | :32:00. | :32:03. | |
between Heathrow and Gatwick is that it is not in the regional or | :32:04. | :32:08. | |
consumers' interests to expand Heathrow. The Daviess report has | :32:09. | :32:16. | |
already been largely undermined. There are 17 reasons why it doesn't | :32:17. | :32:22. | |
work and is wrong. Number one, they said Gatwick would not have 42 | :32:23. | :32:29. | |
million passengers until 2024. This year, they already have 42 million | :32:30. | :32:33. | |
passengers. Gatwick have increased their destinations to 20 now, which | :32:34. | :32:38. | |
they didn't expect either. The Davies review was good in its day, | :32:39. | :32:43. | |
but is it had a limited remit. They were talking about Heathrow as a | :32:44. | :32:50. | |
hub, but the airline industry has changed. We have to pay to this for | :32:51. | :32:55. | |
more than 15 years. The government White Paper in 2003 suggested we | :32:56. | :33:04. | |
should expand Heathrow. ?20 million and 12 years later, the Davis Report | :33:05. | :33:09. | |
came to the same conclusion. We are never going to get any form of | :33:10. | :33:12. | |
progress on this is competing MPs are allowed to frustrate the | :33:13. | :33:18. | |
process. You could have had about three people who are Gatwick MPs | :33:19. | :33:23. | |
arguing very passionately against Adam's desire to expand Gatwick. The | :33:24. | :33:29. | |
point is, we are in a paralysis. We are having a theological debate that | :33:30. | :33:34. | |
will last decades, and Heathrow is... Why Heathrow? Why not expand | :33:35. | :33:40. | |
Gatwick and increase the capacity of our regional airports? I thought the | :33:41. | :33:44. | |
government's strategy was to rebalance the economy in favour of | :33:45. | :33:48. | |
the North and the Midlands. If you listen to northern MPs, or people | :33:49. | :33:53. | |
representing Northern or Scottish interests, they all say they want to | :33:54. | :33:59. | |
increase Heathrow. The SNP said last week they wanted Heathrow to be | :34:00. | :34:03. | |
expanded. If you want to help the economy is in those areas, listen to | :34:04. | :34:07. | |
what they are saying. They are saying expand Heathrow. 32 regional | :34:08. | :34:15. | |
airports support the expansion of Heathrow to maintain its position as | :34:16. | :34:19. | |
one of the global hubs. Even the Scottish Government agrees with | :34:20. | :34:24. | |
expanding Heathrow. They all say, we want to be a serious player in | :34:25. | :34:30. | |
aviation. We need a global hub, and that is Heathrow. The interesting | :34:31. | :34:33. | |
thing is that there is no argument that Heathrow is the UK hub, and no | :34:34. | :34:38. | |
one is trying to get rid of that. But if you are adding a single new | :34:39. | :34:43. | |
runway, is it better to add it at Heathrow or Gatwick, and for me it | :34:44. | :34:59. | |
is overwhelmingly clear. Heathrow is the most expensive airport in the | :35:00. | :35:03. | |
world. If you add another runway at taxpayer expense, you make it even | :35:04. | :35:05. | |
more expensive. So flight prices go up. Whether or not Heathrow could | :35:06. | :35:07. | |
ever be delivered is another question. My own Borough Council as | :35:08. | :35:11. | |
part of the legal action... So even if the decision is made, we may not | :35:12. | :35:17. | |
see the capacity. At Gatwick is dirt cheap. It can be delivered within | :35:18. | :35:24. | |
ten years. But it is not a global hub airport. But the hub that we | :35:25. | :35:28. | |
have at Heathrow is perfectly adequate for the next ten or 15 | :35:29. | :35:34. | |
years. It is running at 99% capacity. Every airline, the new | :35:35. | :35:41. | |
planes being ordered... The airline have decided that the hub capacity | :35:42. | :35:45. | |
is sufficient and they are moving to a different model. Let me ask you | :35:46. | :35:53. | |
this. We haven't built a major new runway in London and the south-east | :35:54. | :35:59. | |
for 60 years. Since 1946, so 70 years. Why not expand Heathrow and | :36:00. | :36:06. | |
Gatwick? Personally, I would do both. If we are serious about having | :36:07. | :36:10. | |
international trade and Golding links to the outside world, | :36:11. | :36:16. | |
especially after Brexit, we have to get serious about aviation and | :36:17. | :36:21. | |
accept that we need more capacity. I think it's scandalous we haven't | :36:22. | :36:24. | |
managed to expand capacity for 70 years, when we think of the economic | :36:25. | :36:28. | |
growth that has happened in that time. If we want to build a | :36:29. | :36:33. | |
prosperous economy, it seems bizarre we are reluctant to increase | :36:34. | :36:37. | |
aviation. Whatever the decision, do you think there will be a free vote | :36:38. | :36:42. | |
on this? I think this is one area where I think the government does | :36:43. | :36:55. | |
need to take a lead, and I hope they will make a rational choice for | :36:56. | :36:57. | |
Gatwick. If the government comes out for Heathrow, will you defy the | :36:58. | :37:03. | |
whips? Yes. I will always vote for Heathrow, because it doesn't make | :37:04. | :37:09. | |
economic sense. If MPs are happy at the prospect of Heathrow... Does the | :37:10. | :37:14. | |
figure strike a chord with you? I would hope there would be more, but | :37:15. | :37:19. | |
it depends on the political position of Labour and the SNP. I hope that | :37:20. | :37:23. | |
the government decides inclusively... Ad is doing what he | :37:24. | :37:29. | |
feels is the best for his constituents. I think 60 is way off | :37:30. | :37:34. | |
the mark. I don't know what journalists suggested 60 Tory MPs. | :37:35. | :37:42. | |
My sense is that it is probably about 20 hard-core people in the | :37:43. | :37:45. | |
House of Commons. I think it will be a free vote. If it is 20 hard-core, | :37:46. | :37:53. | |
you will need Labour to get it through? Labour MPs were very keen | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
on supporting Heathrow, in my experience. It may be delayed again, | :37:58. | :38:04. | |
of course. After 70 years, what's another week here or there! | :38:05. | :38:07. | |
We say goodbye to viewers in Scotland, who leave us now | :38:08. | :01:11. | |
We say goodbye to viewers has to be some degree of allowances | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
in return for renewing vehicles. You. | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Will MPs get a vote on Theresa May's Brexit plans? | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
Why are the Lib Dems throwing everything they've got | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
at the by-election in David Cameron's old constituency? | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
And what will happen next in the US presidential election? | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
So this cross-party push to make the government come forward with the | :01:33. | :01:57. | |
outlines of this negotiating strategy for Brexit, and put it to | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
the Commons in particular, has that got traction? It has in that it is | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
attracting a wide range of support in the House of Commons, which is | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
now the crucial forum for these debates. Theresa May has said there | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
will not be a vote before she triggers article 50. So we have two | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
assume there will not be a vote. With this whole debate, there is a | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
myth going about that we don't know much about what Brexit means. We | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
know a heck of a lot about what it means. We know that when she opens | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
her mouth, the pound falls. The pound is in a different position to | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
the other Brexiteers. There is an accountability issue in terms of | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
what the House of Commons will have a say in, and that could become a | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
big story. Nicola Sturgeon has supported a second referendum. We | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
know a huge amount, all of it dire, and I hope that MPs do get votes at | :02:56. | :03:06. | |
some point. I suspect they will. For example, we are going to get one on | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
this so-called repeal act, which is an act of consolidation. There will | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
be others. We cannot leave the European Union without votes, but I | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
don't think we will get one on Article 50. What they seem to be | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
pushing for at the moment is a vote on the government's bargaining | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
position. They are not saying they want all the details, although | :03:27. | :03:36. | |
Labour has asked 70 questions. The Commons needs to improve them, it is | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
said. Is that fair? It is absurd. You don't go into negotiating with | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
Brussels talking about what was published in all the national | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
newspapers last week about what our red lines are. I don't remember any | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
other international trade deal being done in the public eye. Theresa May | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
hasn't said a red line on immigration. She has uttered those | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
words. There are lots of other intricate details. Of course they | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
are, but we broadly know her position. And broadly we know the EU | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
position. Broad knowledge is not the same as specific. The point is that | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
the British Parliament, all these people who are so obsessed with the | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
British Parliament having its say and democracy, they didn't care for | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
very many years when they happily handed over powers. The Lisbon | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
Treaty, which is like a new constitution. It handed over far | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
more powers again and again. And there was an express vote not to | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
have a referendum for the British people. But we have now given our | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
say. Putting aside whether you are for or against, is it realistic that | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
the government will come forward with some kind of green paper all | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
white paper that gives a broad outline of the government's Brexit | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
position? When you have the majority of between ten and 20, there is one | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
thing you have to do as Prime Minister, and that is to learn to | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
count. Theresa May hasn't done that. There will be a vote in the House of | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
Commons. Whether it's binding or not, because MPs will make one. What | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
will vote be on? They will demand that the government spelt out its | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Brexit strategy. It will not be binding, unless they tried to | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
shoehorn something onto government legislation, which I don't think | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
they will do. They will be unsure. The will of the House of Commons | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
will express itself simply because there is a majority in the House of | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
Commons, a clear one, for soft Brexit. There will be a vote, the | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
government will lose it, and then it is up to Theresa May whether to pay | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
any attention to it. But she has got herself into this problem because | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
she has adopted the views of the 52 against the 48, dropping any sort of | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
language about consensus and bringing the country back together. | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
If the Commons votes against the government on this, it will be seen | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
as a major setback for the government and the Prime Minister. | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
Yes, seismic. Of course she can ignore it if you are talking about | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
it in relation to triggering Article 50. In a way, it happened with | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
Maastricht as well. The House of Commons will move centrestage, and | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
that context is that tiny majority. She has a smaller majority than John | :06:42. | :06:50. | |
Major had in the 90s, and it's going to be far more turbulent than | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
perhaps her calm, assured a facade suggests. Theresa May is a serious, | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
fully formed politician, with six years in the Home Office, but she | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
has never had experience of the Treasury or the Foreign Office. This | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
is massive, massive politics, and I don't think she's ready for it. I | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
don't blame her for that. If it comes to a conflict between the | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
result of the referendum and the position Parliament has taken, there | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
is a chance she will call another election? Effectively, it will be a | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
vote of no-confidence in her government. She should call another | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
election. I think the British people be very clear. The remainers I know | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
have all completely accept it that we are going to have this. There is | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
a mandate for leaves and the Prime Minister should get on with it. I | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
think the British people will not take kindly to any MP who gets in | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
the way. We have two by-elections this week. One in Whitley and one in | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
Batley and Spen, the seat held by Jo Cox. The main parties are not | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
competing in that because of the appalling circumstances in which her | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
terrible murder took place. The Lib Dems are coming big in Witney. They | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
came fourth in the general election, rather forepaws, that they are | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
bigging themselves up in this one. That wise? They've got to do | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
something to get themselves attention. They need to get noticed. | :08:26. | :08:34. | |
But what they have in their favour is that the constituency Witney | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
voted 53% remain and 47% leave in the EU referendum. So they will be | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
trying to get the remain a vote. This is the first test of their | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
remain a strategy. It is interesting that Theresa May bothered to come | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
out and campaign on Saturdays. There she is. The Prime Minister and the | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
former Prime Minister out campaigning. They are not going to | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
win, that they would have to come second. David Cameron had a 60% vote | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
there, for goodness sake. The Tory candidate was a Leave campaign. The | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
fact she is out campaigning isn't a sign of lack of confidence. She must | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
be confident they will win, otherwise she wouldn't be seen near | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
the place. OK, the American election. Just when you thought it | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
couldn't get crazier. We are familiar with drug tests for | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
athletes and cyclists, and all sorts of things in sport. But Mr Trump has | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
now called for a drug test before the third and final debate coming up | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
this Wednesday. Am I making it up? No, I'm not. | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
I think we should take a drug test prior to the debate. | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
We should take a drug test prior, because I don't know | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
what's going on with her, but at the beginning of her last | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
debate she was all pumped up at the beginning, | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
and at the end it was like, uuh, take me down. | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
So I think we should take a drug test. | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
He's also talking about the election being rigged as well, which may be | :10:19. | :10:35. | |
ground work for making his excuses. But here's the issue. That was | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
yesterday. With everything that went before, overnight, the latest | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
Washington post-ABC News poll. Mrs Clinton is ahead by only four | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
points. It's almost within the margin of error. Down from about ten | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
points after sexual assault gate. The simple reason why Trump got the | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
Republican nomination, beating 50 or 60 Republican moderates, why he's | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
been doing pretty well in the polls until the last two of weeks, people | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
buy into the anti-establishment thing. All you need to do is stand | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
there and say, of course they would say that, because they are all | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
crooked. That is the single biggest thing he's got going for him. The | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
Washington Post - ABC News poll suggests the whole business of the | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
nude tapes actually haven't made that much difference. -- huge tape. | :11:34. | :11:46. | |
-- lewd tape. Once you position yourself, you can almost say | :11:47. | :11:56. | |
anything you like, and then respond by saying, the elite would say that, | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
wouldn't they? You cannot really deal with that as an argument, | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
because you would just say, oh, that's you lot, you would say that. | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
There is a point where it becomes absurd, though, and I think this | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
current thing on doping tests is laugh out loud stuff. That surely | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
can't help him. You cannot think, what are the undecideds thinking | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
about this? There was a lot of information, not in the century, but | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
some information is more e-mails from Mrs Clinton are leaked. They | :12:34. | :12:42. | |
are showing her to be very much a globalisation person, very close to | :12:43. | :12:51. | |
Wall Street, talking about why... As Donald Trump said last week, it was | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
good to have the shackles off. This is him with the shackles off. The | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
reality is, all the stuff about Hillary not being very likeable and | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
dishonest, that is already factored into the polls. All the stuff about | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
Donald Trump being lecherous and racist is already factored in. What | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
still blows my mind is that people are still undecided! He's given | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio. It is going to be very interesting to | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
see. Jo Coburn has more Daily Politics | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
