:01:53. > :01:57.Telegraph. George Osborne: UKIP is a threat to the economy. What of mind
:01:58. > :02:04.has been plugged at Nigel Farage and this is the latest bit. Aimed at his
:02:05. > :02:11.direction by the Conservatives `` Nigel Farage. He hasn't actually
:02:12. > :02:14.named UKIP but he talks about the extreme right and the left who he
:02:15. > :02:20.believes are a threat to the economy because they don't support
:02:21. > :02:26.Britain's free market position. IPhone is a bit of an unconvincing
:02:27. > :02:31.argument from the Chancellor. `` I find. I do believe that you could's
:02:32. > :02:34.policies are going to have an impact on government policy because they
:02:35. > :02:40.will not win the election or form part of the Coalition. This is an
:02:41. > :02:46.absolute earthquake. More interesting, I find the event that
:02:47. > :02:50.is coming up, the CBI president is going to say that it little
:02:51. > :02:59.uncertainty that is the biggest threat to the economy. We know the
:03:00. > :03:03.CBI don't like the idea of a referendum because that creates the
:03:04. > :03:07.uncertainty that business hates. If the Conservatives to win at the next
:03:08. > :03:13.election, they have pledged to have an in our referendum. A lot of
:03:14. > :03:18.public like that idea. They do. They also have given the Scots are
:03:19. > :03:22.referendum on whether to stay in the United Kingdom which is coming up
:03:23. > :03:26.very quickly now. It is almost upon us because it is in September. That
:03:27. > :03:31.is another source of huge political uncertainty, says the CBI. And
:03:32. > :03:33.another reason why it is nurses who might be thinking of investing in
:03:34. > :03:41.the UK are thinking twice at the moment. It is a really big issue,
:03:42. > :03:44.actually, because if you have got a large, international corporation
:03:45. > :03:51.thinking, we want to be somewhere in Europe, where surely invest in our
:03:52. > :03:53.new plant? Or we might want to meet corporate headquarters to Europe,
:03:54. > :04:01.where should be go? They are seriously, this implies, looking
:04:02. > :04:06.elsewhere, not perhaps to London because of all of these enormous
:04:07. > :04:09.political mini earthquakes that are going on in Britain at the moment.
:04:10. > :04:15.And that is a serious concern because, we have just started on a
:04:16. > :04:19.recovery after the worst recession we have seen for many decades. If we
:04:20. > :04:23.are giving the message to the rest of the world that we have become an
:04:24. > :04:28.unserious country in which to invest, that is worrying. At the
:04:29. > :04:32.same time, one of the big debates at the moment is this sort of lack of
:04:33. > :04:39.involvement of, you know, the mass of the population in the political
:04:40. > :04:42.process. From the so`called elite as Nigel Farage would put it. That is
:04:43. > :04:50.part of the reason he is doing so well. Having a referendum on Europe
:04:51. > :04:54.and a referendum in Scotland, including the public in these
:04:55. > :04:59.debates, that is part of democracy, isn't it? And the CBI, I know it has
:05:00. > :05:04.to fight in its own corner at the end of the day, the public need to
:05:05. > :05:10.feel part of the process, but they? Certainly. I think we will see in
:05:11. > :05:12.the votes that are coming up on Thursday that that disconnects that
:05:13. > :05:16.you are describing is a very real problem. It will be reflected in the
:05:17. > :05:20.wake in which people vote. I have no doubt about that. The Tories and the
:05:21. > :05:24.Labour Party and the Lib Dems have to face up to that problem. It is a
:05:25. > :05:27.different situation when you get to the general election. The disconnect
:05:28. > :05:32.will properly still be there and it is one reason why the Conservatives
:05:33. > :05:35.have to tread carefully about whether or not they will scupper
:05:36. > :05:39.television debates. That is something which does connect with
:05:40. > :05:48.people. The voters like it. It makes democracy feel more real. The big
:05:49. > :05:52.challenge for Europe at the moment, people have said it many times that
:05:53. > :05:58.all politics is local. The problem with the EU is it feels very remote
:05:59. > :06:03.and it is easy for people like you get to tap into that. Veranda, that
:06:04. > :06:09.is the challenge for the established parties as well, the big three. They
:06:10. > :06:13.have to somehow tap into that contract without going too far to
:06:14. > :06:20.the right in the eyes of some and trying to take UKIP on. What is
:06:21. > :06:25.wrong with this George Osborne approach I don't think this is a
:06:26. > :06:31.very effective last`minute attack on UKIP with hours to go before polling
:06:32. > :06:34.on Thursday. For the very reason that this is the approach that has
:06:35. > :06:38.failed so far. The Conservative party has been talking now for three
:06:39. > :06:43.years about this idea of being in the global race. We must compete in
:06:44. > :06:48.the global race. That analysis may well be right in this analysis from
:06:49. > :06:52.George Osborne today about Britain needing to remain open with open
:06:53. > :06:56.borders and free trade, it may be right. But it gives a lot of people
:06:57. > :07:00.in this country the feeling that they are being left behind in this
:07:01. > :07:05.race and that they are not going to win, even if some sections of
:07:06. > :07:09.society do win out of free trade and free movement because they get the
:07:10. > :07:12.employees they need if they are in business. This does not tackle in
:07:13. > :07:22.any way the well of discotheque that UKIP have been tapping into. ``
:07:23. > :07:25.discontent. Is not about the figures, economically we may do
:07:26. > :07:31.better because of immigrants coming here. It is the environment that is
:07:32. > :07:38.left behind as a result of that. It is that the fact he is pointing to.
:07:39. > :07:47.Let's go to the Times. Biggest bank home loan. This is all in the wake
:07:48. > :07:55.of fears of the housing bubble. We now know that the housing market
:07:56. > :08:03.really is worrying. Not just the Bank of England but also Downing
:08:04. > :08:07.Street. David Cameron has had to say that he is doing the rounds and he
:08:08. > :08:13.is the warnings from the Bank of England. Those warnings from the
:08:14. > :08:16.bank have become more explicit this evening and quoted here on the front
:08:17. > :08:21.page because Charlie Bean, the retiring deputy of the governor of
:08:22. > :08:26.the Bank of England has used his farewell speech to say that the
:08:27. > :08:29.housing bubble is you really reminiscent of what happened to the
:08:30. > :08:35.buildup in the crisis of 2008. There is a lot of worrying. But where are
:08:36. > :08:41.the response ability lie for stopping another vast? That is the
:08:42. > :08:48.question. Is it in Downing Street or is it in Threadneedle Street? Is all
:08:49. > :08:53.your fault, isn't it? You had a number of years to build a whole
:08:54. > :09:01.bunch of houses. You didn't do anything. You do have a point on the
:09:02. > :09:09.housing... I have never been much of a housebuilder! I am no good with a
:09:10. > :09:14.trowel. The shortage of supply is an absolutely fundamental problem. To
:09:15. > :09:18.be fair to the Labour Party, they build houses they didn't build
:09:19. > :09:20.enough and they recognise that. They do have a big programme at the
:09:21. > :09:25.moment but the common thing that runs through all of this is market
:09:26. > :09:28.and you leave it to themselves or do you intervene? Actually, all of the
:09:29. > :09:32.stories show that you have to be prepared to intervene when the
:09:33. > :09:40.markets are going crazy. The other thing about this Lloyds story, new
:09:41. > :09:49.caps on home loans is that every time the mortgage industry decides
:09:50. > :09:52.to tighten the rules on who can get a mortgage, whole categories of
:09:53. > :09:56.people who would like to buy their own home yet ruled out. That is a
:09:57. > :10:01.big danger. One of the things we have seen in this recovery is a huge
:10:02. > :10:07.growth in self`employed people. Very difficult now. How are you going to
:10:08. > :10:12.get a house was Mike yes, you don't need the obvious criteria. It is a
:10:13. > :10:20.worry for people who would like to get on the housing market. Top of
:10:21. > :10:23.the times as well, officers claimed they could bring down the
:10:24. > :10:26.government. This is coming out of private hearings held by the
:10:27. > :10:31.Metropolitan Police into the so`called Plebgate affaire. This is
:10:32. > :10:34.the story that never stops delivering. There is always
:10:35. > :10:43.something new on it. I used to cycle through those gates on a regular
:10:44. > :10:49.basis and never had any problems! This is about whether or not the
:10:50. > :10:52.police officers concerned were aware of the political implications of
:10:53. > :10:57.what they were doing. There is a suggestion that one of the officers
:10:58. > :11:01.textured shortly afterwards to say that it could actually even bring
:11:02. > :11:07.down the government. Of course, Andrew Mitchell who is fighting in
:11:08. > :11:17.action against what he perceives to have been in justice of his fourth
:11:18. > :11:24.resignation. This is going to go on and on. This is because Andrew
:11:25. > :11:30.Bichel is determined to clear his own name. He would clearly like to
:11:31. > :11:35.rebuild take his political career and there are many people in the
:11:36. > :11:40.Conservative party and beyond the Conservative party who would like to
:11:41. > :11:46.see him reinstated. They don't like the idea of a Cabinet Minister being
:11:47. > :11:53.wrought down by some sort of campaign unfairly. OK, when you need
:11:54. > :11:58.to know anything in this country, you talk to a taxi driver. We know
:11:59. > :12:02.that and David Cameron has decided he is going to do that with
:12:03. > :12:09.elections coming up. He says he understands why people vote UKIP.
:12:10. > :12:12.This newspaper has been doing a series where they have their own
:12:13. > :12:24.taxi driver who has been interviewing the party leaders.
:12:25. > :12:29.David Cameron is trying to justify himself to a very suspicious man who
:12:30. > :12:34.is tempted to vote UKIP on Thursday. I'm afraid that he does not exceed
:12:35. > :12:40.because at the end of this interview, the cab driver is still
:12:41. > :12:44.saying that he is veering towards UKIP. If you read it from the point
:12:45. > :12:51.of view of someone like myself, the message you get from it is that
:12:52. > :12:56.making excuses and saying that you understand the UKIP message does not
:12:57. > :13:02.work. It does not convince people, it just makes them feel happy about
:13:03. > :13:06.choosing UKIP. That is why I am not that happy about either the
:13:07. > :13:10.Conservative party or indeed now the Labour Party deciding to take this
:13:11. > :13:19.tack, we understand where UKIP is coming from. I think you got to take
:13:20. > :13:22.them on directly. Is this... Is this more than a gimmick or is this the
:13:23. > :13:30.way that you actually do get the voice of the people? I never find
:13:31. > :13:36.these articles very convincing. They are not designed to convince me,
:13:37. > :13:40.they are designed to convince the reader is of the newspaper who may
:13:41. > :13:43.find it genuine. To me, it does not sound genuine. Even the language
:13:44. > :13:54.does not sound right. The verdict at the end, none of the leaders have
:13:55. > :14:01.jumped off the page at me. That will be Tom Newton Dunn. That is a bit
:14:02. > :14:10.cheeky. They did write a very fierce editorial, today? Lambast in Nigel
:14:11. > :14:14.Farage for what they called racist language. Other people in politics
:14:15. > :14:17.have been much more mealymouthed about whether it was racist or not.

:15:05. > :15:10.did in the run`up the Second World War. The Daily Mail are going on to
:15:11. > :15:14.say that it is likely to be seen as a criticism of the West will not
:15:15. > :15:19.confronting Vladimir Putin. That seems a bit of a stretch. Yes, that

:15:31. > :15:37.countrymen, and that is what the leader should do. He would say that,
:15:38. > :15:45.but I think the thing is, as this has gone on, experts are now saying
:15:46. > :15:55.that those fears that we are entering a second Cold War are quite
:15:56. > :15:58.real now, because Russia clearly seas NATO as an enemy, and they have
