22/09/2016 This Week

Male Model of the Year, Ken Livingstone, tells us

why his buddy and Islington's style icon will hold on to

When he wins, it's time for a new wardrobe.

We should start deselecting those who don't get on board.

The fashion industry has been behind every major political assassination

He's been strutting the political catwalk at London Fashion Week.

And I'll be looking at the Lib Dems through the style lens,

And wannabe political pin-up, UB40 drummer Jimmy Brown,

I'm only here cos I'm in the doghouse.

Yes, This Week is back, and we're hotter than ever.

Yes, we're back after an eventful summer in which ex-PM Call-Me-Dave

announced he was also stepping down as an MP to spend more

time with his family, as long as he can remember which pub

Jezza, the once and future leader of Labour, was criticised for saying

he would not invoke Nato's Article 5 triggering a military

response should Russia invade the Baltic States.

But surely from Jezza's point of view he's right.

Russia won't need Britain's help to conquer Lithuania.

A new character filled the airwaves for several weeks this summer called

Apparently he's part of an outreach programme for young migrant men.

That's J-I-M and his tumble driers are really big.

I, myself, have been part of this humane programme and spent much

of the summer meeting Romanian immigrants posing as John the Car

All went fine until they tried to drive away in their cars.

In other news, the air has been thick with the products of selective

schools warning us of the evils of selective schools

while sending their own little darlings to selective schools.

Surely social services should be intervening to stop such cruelty.

But most of all, we're delighted to have you back,

dear viewer, because we discovered this summer that we have a rival

Yes, Diane Abbott, aka Madame Mao, who we always thought

hailed from this manor, revealed to the Nigerian Guardian,

a must-read around these parts, that she had a late-Thursday-night

It's been going for 13 years and is really rather

We're just relieved some of you are still watching us!

Speaking of those who live in a fantasy world, we're joined

by two MPs who thought they had a career in politics.

One-time agony aunt and Labour MP, Lisa #northernsoul Nandy and former

Tory Culture vulture, Ed #maroonedcamerooned Vaizey.

Your moment of the week? It has been a bit of a bitty week. So I picked

out, so fish and, as I am an Oxford MP, that Oxford University came top

of a survey of the best universities in the world. It is a times higher

education supplement survey and it is the first time a British

university has come top. It is a great thing for Britain, but also

the whole Brexit Remainer debate will take this, and they will say,

yes, Oxford is great because it is open to the world and has research

from all over the world and Brexit will destroy it. And those who

support Brexit will say, stop talking down Britain, we have the

best university in the world, all these amazing assets and we can go

and trade with the world. There was not a single non-British EU

university in the top 30. Cambridge and imperial were also in the top

ten. There are very few good European universities. They have

some big problems. The other thing was a lot of Chinese universities

now entering. And getting better. Lisa. Mary Berry. It has to be,

hasn't it? It was huge. For anyone who has missed it, she is not moving

with Bake Off to Channel 4, so basically it looks like Channel 4

have spent ?75 million on a tent and Paul Hollywood. When you do these

negotiations, surely you make sure, because these shows are led by the

talent, unlike this programme which is held back by its talent. Surely

part of the deal is that you lock in the talent to move with the show. It

is strange because three of four presenters are going, but apparently

they are getting a new BBC show. Maybe this show needs a bit of

sprucing up and we'll be getting a new presenter. It has been 13 years

since I have been on this show and it has struggled hugely. I was on

the previous show. Now I am back, it might... You want to bring back the

midnight hour. A woman presenter may be, someone with some baking

experience. I might call Channel 4 and see if there are any vacancies.

How much do you think Channel 4 would buy this programme for? And

would they want to keep you? Enough of this foolishness. I think I need

to get an agent. You are not doing much these days!

Now, what do the words "automatic reselection" mean to you?

Perhaps it's replacing Michael with Ed Vaizey

on the This Week sofa, or swapping the shortbread

in your diet for a sugar-free alternative.

But for the Labour Party, deselection is an idea

With Mr Corbyn looking likely to be re-elected by an even bigger

majority than his first victory only a year ago, calls for more centrist

Labour MPs to be deselected are gaining momentum.

So is this the end of the Labour Party as we know it,

Here's veteran Labourite Ken Livingstone with his Take

Well, no matter how you spice it up, it's hard to make the present

situation in the Labour Party look terribly attractive.

These backstabbing MPs have had the right to challenge Jeremy.

Why can't they be challenged with reselection in the run-up

The simple fact is, every politician in America is subject to a primary

before they can stand for their party, and I don't think

anyone thinks America is a communist society.

20 years ago when I was the MP in Brent East, the right wingers

I thought they had a right to do that, so I don't know why

An MP's seat shouldn't be a job for life.

And when you have MPs saying Jeremy isn't fit to govern,

they can't complain if people want to get rid of them.

The simple fact is that when we criticised Tony Blair

We weren't challenging him as a person.

These embittered old Blairites can't stand the fact that Jeremy's

bringing back democracy to the party, not just allowing them

to actually decide who they want as a candidate, but also a say

in policy and a say in the election of the Shadow Cabinet.

It's madness to say that the PLP should elect the Shadow Cabinet,

because it's the most right wing PLP we've ever had.

All through the Blair and Brown years, local parties weren't allowed

They had to pick from an approved list.

So you got stuck with Douglas Alexander,

Jeremy's going to win by a landslide on Saturday and I think that'll be

the most significant event in human history since our ancestors came

The Labour Party isn't going to split.

These embittered old Blairites remember when the SDP

Giants - Roy Jenkins, Shirley Williams, David Owen -

the whole country knew who they were but they were completely wiped out

And the people stabbing Jeremy in the back now,

Although the party isn't going to split, Jeremy's re-election

is the right time to crack down on those who are undermining us

and helping the Tories soar ahead in the polls.

With thanks to the Red Rose Tandoori on Holloway Road.

And Ken Livingstone, who's so old Labour he's brand

Welcome back to the programme. Lisa, if Mr Corbyn wins big on Saturday,

does that start the healing process, or does it leave Labour more divided

than ever? It depends how we respond to it. If he wins again, then it's

obviously incumbent on everybody in the Parliamentary Labour Party to

accept that result and to try to be constructive and make it work. And

it's incumbent on the leadership to reach out to parts of the party that

have lost faith, and to think seriously about how we move forwards

and we win a general election. For me, that's got to start with

something that is the opposite of what Ken was arguing for, which is

about right to calm down the debate, stop prattling deselection and

talking about backstabbers and that kind of violent, abusive language

and start thinking seriously about how we move forwards and become not

just a decent opposition but a genuine alternative. It is kind of

hard to see peace breaking out if there is going to be a raft of

deselection attempts. When we introduced automatic deselection in

the 1980s, there was a handful, not more than five MPs got deselected. I

just think it's a principle. I did not object when right put candidates

against me for recent election. You have a right to do that. I have

always been in favour of this. The vast majority of MPs will get behind

Jeremy because they want to win the next election. We have to start

focusing on economic policy, not the trivia. But there will be a group

that are still grumpy. Should they be deselected, and would they only

have themselves to blame? They only have themselves to blame. There has

been real shock amongst party members that all of this new

election campaign has been triggered. We elected Jeremy a year

ago. Virtually nearly 60% of the vote. Did you not want annual

elections at one stage? I'm a one of them. We have all had lots of

different opinions in the past. In the old days, it could be done quite

quickly. Now, it is incredibly expensive. This must be costing ?1

million at least. And time-consuming. Will the majority of

Labour MPs rally round Jeremy Corbyn? I have not met a single

person in the Parliamentary Labour Party, all members, who want to see

the Labour Party split. The only way forward for Labour, whoever wins, is

to be constructive and create a less toxic environment in which we can

listen to each other and learn from one another. Would you rejoin the

Shadow Cabinet? It is pretty unlikely for a number of reasons.

Assuming this outbreak in an era of new feelings in the Labour Party,

let's assume you are asked, would you accept? I think it is unlikely.

I am asking if the unlikely becomes, if it actually happens, would you

accept? I am trying to answer the question. Ken has said the

disagreements were always over policy that I did not resign because

of policy. I resigned when it became clear at a meeting I had with him

and John McDonnell that they saw this as a war in which dissenting

voices needed to be silenced. I am just looking for a simple answer,

yes or no? I would join a Shadow Cabinet, a genuine team working

together and debating the future of the party. I am not interested in

joining a fan club. I think that is a No. I hope that Lisa will join.

When Jeremy one, he reached out to a lot of people that disagree with him

politically. My wife and I went out for a meal with Jeremy years ago and

on the way home she said, that's the nicest man I've ever met in my life.

I thought, thanks! This is the thing. Jeremy is genuinely a nice

person. He is desperate to reach out and bring them back and if they say

no, it is wrong. This is too easy for your lot. It is a disaster for

democracy and the Labour Party. I don't think the Labour Party will

split, but Corbyn is will be tested to destruction. Labour will lose

badly at the next election, whenever it is, probably 2020 Jeremy Corbyn

on as leader. I think that is what will happen, and at that point

hopefully the Labour Party will find a leader who can lead them out of

this wilderness they have wandered into. Because it is very bad for the

country and very bad for a great party, which has been destroyed from

within. What does it mean when Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell

talk about mobilising a mass movement beyond parliament? We are

never going to win an election because of their coverage in

newspapers. It is overwhelmingly hostile. The way we can win is by

building a good grass -- grass-roots machine. When I lost my last

election to Boris, the polls had him up to 12 points ahead, but in the

end it was only 3%. That was not because the polls were wrong. We

built a really good machine, with thousands of people getting the vote

out. That is the most important thing in winning. But where is the

evidence that Mr Corbyn could win the next election? I would not have

voted for him if I did not think he could win. The evidence is on the

economic policy. He has broken from the Blairite nonsense of the

neoliberal economic agenda. It is about investment, rebuilding the

manufacturing base, modern, high-tech industries and building

council homes that our children can afford to live in.

We were saying that at the last general election and it was roundly

accepted by the general public. I don't think that programme was

wrong, we failed to convince people. One of reasons we failed to convince

people wasn't because we weren't knocking on enough doors but because

we hadn't built a broad alliance that could reach into different

parts of the country. That's why Sadiq at the moment is... You mean

the London Mayor? Most successful Labour politician in the country,

he's created that broad alliance. People ask what did the last Labour

Government do for me. Ed Miliband was bearing the brunt. We didn't

build council housing and didn't restructure the economy away from

the... Well All of that I agree with, but we brought in the minimum

wage which completely transformed the prospects for a lot of my

constituents in Wigan. Cameron said we didn't fix... We built the

buildings from the ground up and made sure we invested in people. It

made a huge difference. Without your kind of person around the Labour

Party, Labour won three elections in a row. Can you really win another

election by essentially running against the record of the last

Labour Government? I think you have got to admit we made a lot of

mistakes. All Governments do. Yes, but the key ones we didn't

restructure our economy, we carried on in awe of the bankers. That's the

anger people feel. What other major Western economy has reversed the

decline in the manufacturing industry? Precisely - that's why...

You mean there isn't one? That's why... You mean there isn't one? No,

no. The manufacturing industry does decline, it's a feature of advanced

economies. There is hi-tech modern manufacturing. It's not that big.

Five times the amount to China that we do. Germany's never allowed the

bankers to run their economy. Can you win with, well the trouble

Deutsche Bank is in right now, but can you win with Jeremy Corbyn? We

can win. Will you win? If we start talking a seriously about what the

future of the economy looks like. We have got to get beyond the

anti-austerity slogan which captures a lot of the anger, as Ken said. We

need to start thinking about where are the jobs for the future coming,

not just about re-opening the coal mines but let's start thinking about

how we create clean energy jobs. We shall see, Ken Livingstone, thank

you very much. We got through nine minutes without mentioning Hitler,

oh I think I just did. Do you want me to respond? No! Because it's

Too-late-to-vote-for-Jeremy-Corbyn late.

But don't despair, because if Owen Smith's

Nigel Farage! I'm happy with that. With Labour

moving to the left, theoretically, this should be through the centre

the Liberal Democrats comeback route. Why does it not feel like

that? Well, that is the absolutely key question for them and in

Brighton, at the same time as a cheered up feeling about lots and

lots of new members, you know, every Thursday, they are kind of whacking

Labour in a council by-election, but, you know, the national poll

rating is totally where it was two years ago. It's stuck on seven or

eight, so there's this feeling of consciousness that this could be a

great opportunity for the party, but have they got the ear of those

moderate Labour voters who might feel disenfranchised. I do think

they are hoping for another little membership boost after Saturday. Do

the Liberal Democrats have any act tractions for you? No. Sorry. But

you came to the conference and everybody loved you. Perhaps. I came

to the conference on Sunday to remind those Lib Dem members who,

like me, care about investing in Public Services and a decent social

security system and human rights and... If you care about the same

things, why don't you get together? That's what I went to the conference

for to remind them that we are losing the argument and the point

about Labour falling in the polls. That tells you that we are losing

the argument with the public. We need to get much better at working

together on the things that we have in common. Is no attraction of the

centrist MPs like yourself? No. Actually, we are very distinct

parties with distinct traditions and the... At the moment you are

distinct losers, both of you? That's partly why I went to Brighton.

That's a fair point, you're absolutely right. No point being

distinct if you lose all the time. Is there a Lib Dem policy of having

a second referendum? Explain to me how, if we said now we'll have a

second referendum on the Brexit deal when it's done, why would the

European Union give us anything in the negotiations? Well, I think the

point is that the referendum we've just had didn't give a clear answer

on where the country is going to end up in, for example in ten years'

time. I know the case, but if you say to the European Union, we are

going to have a second referendum and the European Union wants us to

remain, they'll obviously give us as bad a deal as possible so it looks

terrible, look at the choice between staying in, we'll be all right, and

leaving in Siberian terms. Surely that's inevitable? I think the

incentive force the rest of Europe to treat us harshly are pretty much

already there to be honest. I don't think it would make a huge

difference. There is a question genuinely of legitimacy of where we

end up. If we don't have a general election on the terms on which we

leave the EU or a referendum on the destination that we are heading for,

in what sense has this really been approved? Will the Brexit talks

split the Tories? It will cause divisions in the Tory

party. It is interesting for me how quickly the hard Brexit side of the

Tory party, the well-known people who campaigned to leave, not those

like Boris Johnson but the Bill Cash of this world, have put down a

marker to Theresa May very quickly before she has really had a chance

to navigate through and set out her stall and set out the parameters she

wants, which I don't think we'll come until early next year. I am not

asking her to rush into setting up her stall. She has made clear to

people like Boris Johnson that they should not. The longer she leaves

it, the more suspicious the Brexit supporters will become. Not just

Tories. 17.4 million people, despite the threats of the establishment,

voted to leave the EU. People keep saying, when is it going to happen,

are they going to deliver this, are we going to be let down? I would say

in a sense that the Lib Dems talking about second referendums explains

why their brand is now bust with the British public. They are not

credible any more. And they haven't got a leader... You don't think they

will recover? I don't. Tim Farron may be a nice chap but he is not

connecting with a big audience. Of those that voted Remain, there 40%

who access the result and say, let's get on with it. Get on with what?

That is the point. They don't know what it means. It is very clear.

Everybody from Boris and Michael Gove to Ukip and Frank Field, we

were very clear. Not a very broad group, to be fair. Give me one that

is broader, please. You have the entire spectrum. We voted to take

back control of our laws, borders, fisheries, and crucially we voted to

leave the single market. Those in politics who were saying we could

leave the EU but stay in the single market am basically they were trying

to keep us inside the European Union. It is perfectly clear what

people voted for. Is Ukip still a threat to the Tories. I think Nigel

will probably be back in 2019. Please! Ukip as a temporary leader

and Nigel will come back at the end of 2018 to say that Brexit has not

been delivered. He will seize back control but his main threat will be

to Labour in the North. By that time you will be in such trouble because

Corbyn will have been leader for further two years and Nigel stands a

real chance of Labour seats in the North. I am not sure he is a threat

to the Tories. He is saying you are just on sabbatical, not retired. I

am done with party politics. Didn't you say that last time? For three

days, and then I came back. You are only five days in now! Have given up

politics, the backbiting. What are the odds on you coming back? Reed I

don't know. I don't want to do it again. Are you behind this attempt

to build a right-wing Momentum movement, a mirror image of Corbyn's

on the left, that your mate is bankrolling? 38 degrees is a better

example of a centre-left development through the internet who have been

effective lobbying MPs, getting people to sign petitions and all the

rest of it. I what Aaron Banks did, it was really interesting, to build

1 million online supporters for the Brexit calls from across the

spectrum. I am in courage in him to keep going with that, to make sure

that as Theresa May says, Brexit means Brexit. It means we leave the

single market... Not again! I have heard all this. Wouldn't your

successor rather have the Aaron Banks money for the Ukip party

funds? He can spend his money as he wishes. He has backed Ukip and he

will go on backing Ukip, I am sure. But he is trying to build something

a little bit along the lines of the Italian 5-star movement in Italy,

where an online political movement is fundamentally changing Italian

politics. I see you are now best mates with Donald Trump. So it

looks. Is he going to win? I think he is. I get the difficulties of the

swing states, but I think momentum is with him. Hillary Clinton's

campaign looks tired and out of touch and Trump looks very

disciplined. You have managed to cheer up everybody else. Look at

their faces. Miranda is near suicidal. The Remain camp do not

want change of any kind in any western country. It is coming. It is

happening. Wake up, smell the coffee. On this point of total

agreement... We are going to move on. I do not want change which is

why I am looking forward to Nigel returning. My world is

discombobulated and I am reassured that he will be back. That is a

point you have made and I have finally got it. Thank you, Nigel and

Miranda. You can go and like down in a dark room and we will wake you up

later. Now, you may have breathed a sigh

of relief when you realised Michael Portillo wasn't around

to manspread in pastel chinos The truth is he can't stand to be

here because it's the first That's right, this time last year,

Hackney Abbott ditched him to rekindle her socialist fervour

with old flame Comrade Corbyn. Of course, we invited old choo choo

to the Green Room to drown his sorrows with Blue Nun,

but he said this week, That's why we've decided to put

break-ups in the Spotlight. I think it's a reality of marriage

that you go through hard times. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

went their separate ways this week, And what of the perfect

Bake Off couple? Paul Hollywood says he wants

to stick with the dough But Mary Berry's had

enough of soggy bottoms, leaving viewers crying

into their cake mix. I think the ability to unite

the party is something There seems little love lost

between Jezza and his first wife who announced this week she'd vote

for Owen Smith. And what of rocky relations

between North and South The NEC told Scottish Labour Leader

Kezia Dugdale that she could go David Cameron used to be devoted

to his constituents. I love being MP for Witney and I'm

very keen to continue. But despite all the talk

of serving the country, bomb the back benches,

he's hastily anulled their union. Even some of Angela Merkel's fans

have struck up a romance with Should unhappy couples stay

together, or break-up for the kids? Now we were meant to interview

Katie Price at this stage. But I'm delighted to be joined

by Jimmy Brown from UB40 instead. Delighted to see you here. Speaking

of splits and break-ups, there are a lot around in politics and private

life and so on. The UB40 split, was it tough? It wasn't that bad. I

don't see it as a split because all we did was lose a singer. We would

not be the first to do that. Our singer went solo. We are in

difficulties now, because he had a solo career but did not do as well

as he thought and started using the name again. So we are going through

the courts at the moment. But we haven't split, really. The rest of

the band are still here. It was only one that went. Mind you, the singer

is quite important. Pretty important. Not as important as the

drama. We had his brother in the cupboard waiting, so we took him out

and replaced him and everything is lovely. We just did our biggest

touring about 20 years. Win splits like that come on the agenda, do we

fight hard enough to stop the splits from happening, or do we just think

we are too lazy, we will get through, let's just get on with it?

I think it's a sign of the times. There are hysterical times going on

at the moment, causing all kinds of splits between different camps. I

think it's a sign of the times. There is a lot of splitting. Brexit

is a split. Brad and Angelina is a split. Bake Off is a split. You

leaving the Shadow Cabinet is a split. Up there with Mary Berry

leaving. Are we becoming more of a break-up ridden society? It is too

late, I have no idea what you are talking about. Are we becoming more

atomised as a society. Many people at the moment are feeling anxious in

this country about a lot of things. It is a lot to do with economic

insecurity. We have had seismic changes politically in the last few

years and I think it's very hard to predict what the future will look

like, and thereof very few politicians talking about a positive

vision for the future and how we shape it. -- there are very few

politicians. That has created the sense of people feeling quite

anxious about things. And I don't think Mary Berry leaving Bake Off

has helped. But I do love her. I can't wait to see her new show. You

had a split with government offices. Yes, I have exit it. The Tory party

is split with me and I am on the backbenches. But I think we are

staying together. Despite being rejected from the government, I

remain utterly loyal to the Prime Minister, so I hope she is watching.

And we shouldn't forget that Scotland decided to stay. There are

examples where people look at the door and decide not to walk through

it. I think we should cheer up a bit. Were you upset by the Brexit

split? I was with Corbyn, really. I really did not want to be left in

the hands of Boris. Do you think Labour will split? No. There is

nowhere for the rebels to go. Back in the day, there was the SDP. So I

don't see a split, I really don't. And you would be happy to see Mr

Corbyn get re-elected? Very happy, yes. Do you think he can win an

election? Definitely. We have a low turnout in this country compare to

other countries. It is about getting people out and voting. They cannot

use the mainstream press the way the Tories do. They have low membership

in the Tory party and they are happy to get the message out through the

mainstream media. You will have to write us a campaign song. You said

you have just finished a tour. We are just starting one. In Leeds, I

think. It is the end of one of the biggest tours we have done in a long
