Male Model of the Year, Ken Livingstone, tells us | :00:00. | :00:26. | |
why his buddy and Islington's style icon will hold on to | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
When he wins, it's time for a new wardrobe. | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
We should start deselecting those who don't get on board. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
The fashion industry has been behind every major political assassination | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
He's been strutting the political catwalk at London Fashion Week. | :00:45. | :00:58. | |
And I'll be looking at the Lib Dems through the style lens, | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
And wannabe political pin-up, UB40 drummer Jimmy Brown, | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
I'm only here cos I'm in the doghouse. | :01:10. | :01:18. | |
Yes, This Week is back, and we're hotter than ever. | :01:19. | :01:33. | |
Yes, we're back after an eventful summer in which ex-PM Call-Me-Dave | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
announced he was also stepping down as an MP to spend more | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
time with his family, as long as he can remember which pub | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Jezza, the once and future leader of Labour, was criticised for saying | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
he would not invoke Nato's Article 5 triggering a military | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
response should Russia invade the Baltic States. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
But surely from Jezza's point of view he's right. | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
Russia won't need Britain's help to conquer Lithuania. | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
A new character filled the airwaves for several weeks this summer called | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Apparently he's part of an outreach programme for young migrant men. | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
That's J-I-M and his tumble driers are really big. | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
I, myself, have been part of this humane programme and spent much | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
of the summer meeting Romanian immigrants posing as John the Car | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
All went fine until they tried to drive away in their cars. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
In other news, the air has been thick with the products of selective | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
schools warning us of the evils of selective schools | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
while sending their own little darlings to selective schools. | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
Surely social services should be intervening to stop such cruelty. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
But most of all, we're delighted to have you back, | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
dear viewer, because we discovered this summer that we have a rival | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Yes, Diane Abbott, aka Madame Mao, who we always thought | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
hailed from this manor, revealed to the Nigerian Guardian, | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
a must-read around these parts, that she had a late-Thursday-night | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
It's been going for 13 years and is really rather | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
We're just relieved some of you are still watching us! | :03:07. | :03:16. | |
Speaking of those who live in a fantasy world, we're joined | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
by two MPs who thought they had a career in politics. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
One-time agony aunt and Labour MP, Lisa #northernsoul Nandy and former | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
Tory Culture vulture, Ed #maroonedcamerooned Vaizey. | :03:29. | :03:37. | |
Your moment of the week? It has been a bit of a bitty week. So I picked | :03:38. | :03:50. | |
out, so fish and, as I am an Oxford MP, that Oxford University came top | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
of a survey of the best universities in the world. It is a times higher | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
education supplement survey and it is the first time a British | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
university has come top. It is a great thing for Britain, but also | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
the whole Brexit Remainer debate will take this, and they will say, | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
yes, Oxford is great because it is open to the world and has research | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
from all over the world and Brexit will destroy it. And those who | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
support Brexit will say, stop talking down Britain, we have the | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
best university in the world, all these amazing assets and we can go | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
and trade with the world. There was not a single non-British EU | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
university in the top 30. Cambridge and imperial were also in the top | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
ten. There are very few good European universities. They have | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
some big problems. The other thing was a lot of Chinese universities | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
now entering. And getting better. Lisa. Mary Berry. It has to be, | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
hasn't it? It was huge. For anyone who has missed it, she is not moving | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
with Bake Off to Channel 4, so basically it looks like Channel 4 | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
have spent ?75 million on a tent and Paul Hollywood. When you do these | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
negotiations, surely you make sure, because these shows are led by the | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
talent, unlike this programme which is held back by its talent. Surely | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
part of the deal is that you lock in the talent to move with the show. It | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
is strange because three of four presenters are going, but apparently | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
they are getting a new BBC show. Maybe this show needs a bit of | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
sprucing up and we'll be getting a new presenter. It has been 13 years | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
since I have been on this show and it has struggled hugely. I was on | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
the previous show. Now I am back, it might... You want to bring back the | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
midnight hour. A woman presenter may be, someone with some baking | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
experience. I might call Channel 4 and see if there are any vacancies. | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
How much do you think Channel 4 would buy this programme for? And | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
would they want to keep you? Enough of this foolishness. I think I need | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
to get an agent. You are not doing much these days! | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
Now, what do the words "automatic reselection" mean to you? | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
Perhaps it's replacing Michael with Ed Vaizey | :06:21. | :06:21. | |
on the This Week sofa, or swapping the shortbread | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
in your diet for a sugar-free alternative. | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
But for the Labour Party, deselection is an idea | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
With Mr Corbyn looking likely to be re-elected by an even bigger | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
majority than his first victory only a year ago, calls for more centrist | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
Labour MPs to be deselected are gaining momentum. | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
So is this the end of the Labour Party as we know it, | :06:41. | :06:50. | |
Here's veteran Labourite Ken Livingstone with his Take | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Well, no matter how you spice it up, it's hard to make the present | :06:54. | :07:16. | |
situation in the Labour Party look terribly attractive. | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
These backstabbing MPs have had the right to challenge Jeremy. | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
Why can't they be challenged with reselection in the run-up | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
The simple fact is, every politician in America is subject to a primary | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
before they can stand for their party, and I don't think | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
anyone thinks America is a communist society. | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
20 years ago when I was the MP in Brent East, the right wingers | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
I thought they had a right to do that, so I don't know why | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
An MP's seat shouldn't be a job for life. | :07:52. | :08:02. | |
And when you have MPs saying Jeremy isn't fit to govern, | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
they can't complain if people want to get rid of them. | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
The simple fact is that when we criticised Tony Blair | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
We weren't challenging him as a person. | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
These embittered old Blairites can't stand the fact that Jeremy's | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
bringing back democracy to the party, not just allowing them | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
to actually decide who they want as a candidate, but also a say | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
in policy and a say in the election of the Shadow Cabinet. | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
It's madness to say that the PLP should elect the Shadow Cabinet, | :08:30. | :08:41. | |
because it's the most right wing PLP we've ever had. | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
All through the Blair and Brown years, local parties weren't allowed | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
They had to pick from an approved list. | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
So you got stuck with Douglas Alexander, | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
Jeremy's going to win by a landslide on Saturday and I think that'll be | :08:53. | :09:03. | |
the most significant event in human history since our ancestors came | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
The Labour Party isn't going to split. | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
These embittered old Blairites remember when the SDP | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
Giants - Roy Jenkins, Shirley Williams, David Owen - | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
the whole country knew who they were but they were completely wiped out | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
And the people stabbing Jeremy in the back now, | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
Although the party isn't going to split, Jeremy's re-election | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
is the right time to crack down on those who are undermining us | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
and helping the Tories soar ahead in the polls. | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
With thanks to the Red Rose Tandoori on Holloway Road. | :09:42. | :09:51. | |
And Ken Livingstone, who's so old Labour he's brand | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
Welcome back to the programme. Lisa, if Mr Corbyn wins big on Saturday, | :09:54. | :10:08. | |
does that start the healing process, or does it leave Labour more divided | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
than ever? It depends how we respond to it. If he wins again, then it's | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
obviously incumbent on everybody in the Parliamentary Labour Party to | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
accept that result and to try to be constructive and make it work. And | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
it's incumbent on the leadership to reach out to parts of the party that | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
have lost faith, and to think seriously about how we move forwards | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
and we win a general election. For me, that's got to start with | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
something that is the opposite of what Ken was arguing for, which is | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
about right to calm down the debate, stop prattling deselection and | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
talking about backstabbers and that kind of violent, abusive language | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
and start thinking seriously about how we move forwards and become not | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
just a decent opposition but a genuine alternative. It is kind of | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
hard to see peace breaking out if there is going to be a raft of | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
deselection attempts. When we introduced automatic deselection in | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
the 1980s, there was a handful, not more than five MPs got deselected. I | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
just think it's a principle. I did not object when right put candidates | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
against me for recent election. You have a right to do that. I have | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
always been in favour of this. The vast majority of MPs will get behind | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
Jeremy because they want to win the next election. We have to start | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
focusing on economic policy, not the trivia. But there will be a group | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
that are still grumpy. Should they be deselected, and would they only | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
have themselves to blame? They only have themselves to blame. There has | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
been real shock amongst party members that all of this new | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
election campaign has been triggered. We elected Jeremy a year | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
ago. Virtually nearly 60% of the vote. Did you not want annual | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
elections at one stage? I'm a one of them. We have all had lots of | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
different opinions in the past. In the old days, it could be done quite | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
quickly. Now, it is incredibly expensive. This must be costing ?1 | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
million at least. And time-consuming. Will the majority of | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
Labour MPs rally round Jeremy Corbyn? I have not met a single | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
person in the Parliamentary Labour Party, all members, who want to see | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
the Labour Party split. The only way forward for Labour, whoever wins, is | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
to be constructive and create a less toxic environment in which we can | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
listen to each other and learn from one another. Would you rejoin the | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
Shadow Cabinet? It is pretty unlikely for a number of reasons. | :12:47. | :12:55. | |
Assuming this outbreak in an era of new feelings in the Labour Party, | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
let's assume you are asked, would you accept? I think it is unlikely. | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
I am asking if the unlikely becomes, if it actually happens, would you | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
accept? I am trying to answer the question. Ken has said the | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
disagreements were always over policy that I did not resign because | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
of policy. I resigned when it became clear at a meeting I had with him | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
and John McDonnell that they saw this as a war in which dissenting | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
voices needed to be silenced. I am just looking for a simple answer, | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
yes or no? I would join a Shadow Cabinet, a genuine team working | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
together and debating the future of the party. I am not interested in | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
joining a fan club. I think that is a No. I hope that Lisa will join. | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
When Jeremy one, he reached out to a lot of people that disagree with him | :13:49. | :13:56. | |
politically. My wife and I went out for a meal with Jeremy years ago and | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
on the way home she said, that's the nicest man I've ever met in my life. | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
I thought, thanks! This is the thing. Jeremy is genuinely a nice | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
person. He is desperate to reach out and bring them back and if they say | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
no, it is wrong. This is too easy for your lot. It is a disaster for | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
democracy and the Labour Party. I don't think the Labour Party will | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
split, but Corbyn is will be tested to destruction. Labour will lose | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
badly at the next election, whenever it is, probably 2020 Jeremy Corbyn | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
on as leader. I think that is what will happen, and at that point | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
hopefully the Labour Party will find a leader who can lead them out of | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
this wilderness they have wandered into. Because it is very bad for the | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
country and very bad for a great party, which has been destroyed from | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
within. What does it mean when Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
talk about mobilising a mass movement beyond parliament? We are | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
never going to win an election because of their coverage in | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
newspapers. It is overwhelmingly hostile. The way we can win is by | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
building a good grass -- grass-roots machine. When I lost my last | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
election to Boris, the polls had him up to 12 points ahead, but in the | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
end it was only 3%. That was not because the polls were wrong. We | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
built a really good machine, with thousands of people getting the vote | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
out. That is the most important thing in winning. But where is the | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
evidence that Mr Corbyn could win the next election? I would not have | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
voted for him if I did not think he could win. The evidence is on the | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
economic policy. He has broken from the Blairite nonsense of the | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
neoliberal economic agenda. It is about investment, rebuilding the | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
manufacturing base, modern, high-tech industries and building | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
council homes that our children can afford to live in. | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
We were saying that at the last general election and it was roundly | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
accepted by the general public. I don't think that programme was | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
wrong, we failed to convince people. One of reasons we failed to convince | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
people wasn't because we weren't knocking on enough doors but because | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
we hadn't built a broad alliance that could reach into different | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
parts of the country. That's why Sadiq at the moment is... You mean | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
the London Mayor? Most successful Labour politician in the country, | :16:20. | :16:31. | |
he's created that broad alliance. People ask what did the last Labour | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
Government do for me. Ed Miliband was bearing the brunt. We didn't | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
build council housing and didn't restructure the economy away from | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
the... Well All of that I agree with, but we brought in the minimum | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
wage which completely transformed the prospects for a lot of my | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
constituents in Wigan. Cameron said we didn't fix... We built the | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
buildings from the ground up and made sure we invested in people. It | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
made a huge difference. Without your kind of person around the Labour | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
Party, Labour won three elections in a row. Can you really win another | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
election by essentially running against the record of the last | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
Labour Government? I think you have got to admit we made a lot of | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
mistakes. All Governments do. Yes, but the key ones we didn't | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
restructure our economy, we carried on in awe of the bankers. That's the | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
anger people feel. What other major Western economy has reversed the | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
decline in the manufacturing industry? Precisely - that's why... | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
You mean there isn't one? That's why... You mean there isn't one? No, | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
no. The manufacturing industry does decline, it's a feature of advanced | :17:51. | :18:00. | |
economies. There is hi-tech modern manufacturing. It's not that big. | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
Five times the amount to China that we do. Germany's never allowed the | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
bankers to run their economy. Can you win with, well the trouble | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
Deutsche Bank is in right now, but can you win with Jeremy Corbyn? We | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
can win. Will you win? If we start talking a seriously about what the | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
future of the economy looks like. We have got to get beyond the | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
anti-austerity slogan which captures a lot of the anger, as Ken said. We | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
need to start thinking about where are the jobs for the future coming, | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
not just about re-opening the coal mines but let's start thinking about | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
how we create clean energy jobs. We shall see, Ken Livingstone, thank | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
you very much. We got through nine minutes without mentioning Hitler, | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
oh I think I just did. Do you want me to respond? No! Because it's | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
Too-late-to-vote-for-Jeremy-Corbyn late. | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
But don't despair, because if Owen Smith's | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
not your cup of tea, waiting in the wings, we've got | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
But not before we've had a drum roll for Jimmy Brown, the man | :19:11. | :19:23. | |
But he's not with band mate Ali Campbell tonight, | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
The lead singer of UB40 left in 2008. | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
Who better then to put break-up and moving on under the spotlight? | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
And if this labour of love isn't enough for you, don't forget | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
there are more promises and lies on Twitter, | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
the Fleecebook and David Cameron's websphere, wherever that may be. | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
Now, it may have escaped your notice but it's | :19:50. | :19:51. | |
Our Ed's been enjoying himself, rather too much if you ask me, | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
modelling Jean Paul Gaultier's new range for Speedo. | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
If only Theresa had seen the snaps, she might well have kept him | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
Meanwhile, our Lisa's been a big hit, attempting to bring | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
that much maligned fashion statement the shell suit | :20:10. | :20:11. | |
back into vogue, in a blatant attempt to ingratiate | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
Here's Quentin Letts with this week's Roundup. | :20:14. | :20:32. | |
But that's just not Brad's look this season. | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
It's London Fashion Week, and those dedicated followers | :20:39. | :20:49. | |
of fashion, the Liberal Democrats, have been | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
This autumn conference collection of ideas focused on handing power | :20:53. | :21:00. | |
When Theresa May does agree a deal with the European Union, | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
Not a rerun of the referendum, not a second referendum, | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
but a referendum on the terms of the as yet unknown Brexit deal. | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
And if the Tories say, we've had enough referendums, | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
And they weren't shy about showcasing some classic | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
We will offer a new deal for health and social care, | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
honest about the cost, bold about the solution. | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
And if the only way to fund a health service that meets the needs | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
of everyone is to raise taxes, Liberal Democrats will raise taxes. | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
Nick Clegg reassured delegates the Tories were up a Brexit | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
creek without a paddle, a canoe or a map. | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
But he also managed to squeeze in some book signing. | :21:57. | :22:05. | |
Shunning London's fashionistas, style icon Theresa May flew | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
No, she was not launching her own brand of kitten heels. | :22:10. | :22:17. | |
She was making her first speech as Prime Minister | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
to the United Nations General Assembly. | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
She set out proposals aimed at stopping uncontrolled | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
In addition to refugees and displaced people fleeing | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
conflict and persecution, we are seeing an unprecedented | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
movement of people in search of greater economic opportunities | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
This affects all of us and it is the responsibility of us | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
We cannot ignore this challenge or allow it to continue unmanaged. | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
New Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson just can't stay out | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
Cameras at the United Nations caught him playing around | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
on his telephone when he should have been listening to the Prime | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
Some people suggested Boris might have been playing Pokemon. | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
I suspect he was writing his speech for the Tory party conference. | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
London Mayor Sadiq Khan was also in New York this week | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
and was pressed again about Donald Trump's views on Islam. | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
Did he still think they were ignorant? | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
It is possible to be a Westerner and a Muslim. | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
It is possible to have multiple layers of identity. | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
I don't want to have a bust up with Donald Trump, | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
but my point was, look, you are standing to be the most | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
powerful person in the world, the President of the USA. | :23:38. | :23:39. | |
The rest of the world looks upon you with admiration | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
as a country and I think running for the office brings | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
Yes, it's the Lib Dem conference, yes, it's London Fashion Week, | :23:45. | :24:04. | |
and yes, fashion god and goddess Brangelina have split. | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
But the only game in town this week is the Labour leadership contest. | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
Original socialist supermodel Jeremy Corbyn, and then the bookies' | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
I'm still going to be fighting right up to the last minute for every | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
single vote and I still think we've got an opportunity | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
to save the Labour Party, to stop this infighting, | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
to stop groups like Momentum seeking to undermine MPs at Westminster | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
and get back to what we need to be, which is a united and effective | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
Labour's ruling body, the NEC, met this week to discuss | :24:42. | :24:50. | |
whether or not MPs should elect a Shadow Cabinet. | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
Mr Corbyn wanted members to have a say, but the PLP, the | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
The meeting went on for eight and a half hours and they | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
Eight and a half hours, I know! | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
That's as long as it takes Andrew Neil to do his make up. | :25:07. | :25:15. | |
But what is it that you're looking for? | :25:16. | :25:17. | |
Is it the ensemble that will last all seasons? | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
Then you've come to the Corbyn capsule ready-to-wear | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
Sadly, for everyone, it's the same Jeremy Corbyn. | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
The same Jeremy Corbyn who's been through the last year, indeed | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
I do know a lot of these people extremely well. | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
I understand the strengths and the passions that many have, | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
and I invite them, if I get a second mandate on Saturday morning, | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
to come on board, work together, as we have in the past | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
There is only one way forward that can bring us a Labour government | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
and that is working together to challenge the Tories | :26:03. | :26:04. | |
Does high fashion mean anything to the man and woman in the street? | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
Mere mortals just marvel at the spectacle, and Labour | :26:11. | :26:18. | |
in Liverpool this week, when they finally decide | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
And I'm delighted to be joined by Nigel Farage, | :26:22. | :26:41. | |
who promises he'll never be leader of Ukip ever ever again. | :26:42. | :26:56. | |
Miranda promises she'll never ever be leader of Ukip either, so does | :26:57. | :27:21. | |
Nigel Farage! I'm happy with that. With Labour | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
moving to the left, theoretically, this should be through the centre | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
the Liberal Democrats comeback route. Why does it not feel like | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
that? Well, that is the absolutely key question for them and in | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
Brighton, at the same time as a cheered up feeling about lots and | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
lots of new members, you know, every Thursday, they are kind of whacking | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
Labour in a council by-election, but, you know, the national poll | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
rating is totally where it was two years ago. It's stuck on seven or | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
eight, so there's this feeling of consciousness that this could be a | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
great opportunity for the party, but have they got the ear of those | :28:09. | :28:14. | |
moderate Labour voters who might feel disenfranchised. I do think | :28:15. | :28:17. | |
they are hoping for another little membership boost after Saturday. Do | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
the Liberal Democrats have any act tractions for you? No. Sorry. But | :28:22. | :28:27. | |
you came to the conference and everybody loved you. Perhaps. I came | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
to the conference on Sunday to remind those Lib Dem members who, | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
like me, care about investing in Public Services and a decent social | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
security system and human rights and... If you care about the same | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
things, why don't you get together? That's what I went to the conference | :28:47. | :28:50. | |
for to remind them that we are losing the argument and the point | :28:51. | :28:53. | |
about Labour falling in the polls. That tells you that we are losing | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
the argument with the public. We need to get much better at working | :28:58. | :29:02. | |
together on the things that we have in common. Is no attraction of the | :29:03. | :29:08. | |
centrist MPs like yourself? No. Actually, we are very distinct | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
parties with distinct traditions and the... At the moment you are | :29:14. | :29:18. | |
distinct losers, both of you? That's partly why I went to Brighton. | :29:19. | :29:22. | |
That's a fair point, you're absolutely right. No point being | :29:23. | :29:25. | |
distinct if you lose all the time. Is there a Lib Dem policy of having | :29:26. | :29:32. | |
a second referendum? Explain to me how, if we said now we'll have a | :29:33. | :29:38. | |
second referendum on the Brexit deal when it's done, why would the | :29:39. | :29:44. | |
European Union give us anything in the negotiations? Well, I think the | :29:45. | :29:50. | |
point is that the referendum we've just had didn't give a clear answer | :29:51. | :29:54. | |
on where the country is going to end up in, for example in ten years' | :29:55. | :29:58. | |
time. I know the case, but if you say to the European Union, we are | :29:59. | :30:01. | |
going to have a second referendum and the European Union wants us to | :30:02. | :30:06. | |
remain, they'll obviously give us as bad a deal as possible so it looks | :30:07. | :30:10. | |
terrible, look at the choice between staying in, we'll be all right, and | :30:11. | :30:17. | |
leaving in Siberian terms. Surely that's inevitable? I think the | :30:18. | :30:22. | |
incentive force the rest of Europe to treat us harshly are pretty much | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
already there to be honest. I don't think it would make a huge | :30:27. | :30:30. | |
difference. There is a question genuinely of legitimacy of where we | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
end up. If we don't have a general election on the terms on which we | :30:35. | :30:38. | |
leave the EU or a referendum on the destination that we are heading for, | :30:39. | :30:42. | |
in what sense has this really been approved? Will the Brexit talks | :30:43. | :30:44. | |
split the Tories? It will cause divisions in the Tory | :30:45. | :30:54. | |
party. It is interesting for me how quickly the hard Brexit side of the | :30:55. | :31:00. | |
Tory party, the well-known people who campaigned to leave, not those | :31:01. | :31:06. | |
like Boris Johnson but the Bill Cash of this world, have put down a | :31:07. | :31:10. | |
marker to Theresa May very quickly before she has really had a chance | :31:11. | :31:15. | |
to navigate through and set out her stall and set out the parameters she | :31:16. | :31:19. | |
wants, which I don't think we'll come until early next year. I am not | :31:20. | :31:23. | |
asking her to rush into setting up her stall. She has made clear to | :31:24. | :31:29. | |
people like Boris Johnson that they should not. The longer she leaves | :31:30. | :31:36. | |
it, the more suspicious the Brexit supporters will become. Not just | :31:37. | :31:41. | |
Tories. 17.4 million people, despite the threats of the establishment, | :31:42. | :31:46. | |
voted to leave the EU. People keep saying, when is it going to happen, | :31:47. | :31:49. | |
are they going to deliver this, are we going to be let down? I would say | :31:50. | :31:57. | |
in a sense that the Lib Dems talking about second referendums explains | :31:58. | :32:00. | |
why their brand is now bust with the British public. They are not | :32:01. | :32:04. | |
credible any more. And they haven't got a leader... You don't think they | :32:05. | :32:10. | |
will recover? I don't. Tim Farron may be a nice chap but he is not | :32:11. | :32:16. | |
connecting with a big audience. Of those that voted Remain, there 40% | :32:17. | :32:20. | |
who access the result and say, let's get on with it. Get on with what? | :32:21. | :32:27. | |
That is the point. They don't know what it means. It is very clear. | :32:28. | :32:31. | |
Everybody from Boris and Michael Gove to Ukip and Frank Field, we | :32:32. | :32:38. | |
were very clear. Not a very broad group, to be fair. Give me one that | :32:39. | :32:44. | |
is broader, please. You have the entire spectrum. We voted to take | :32:45. | :32:50. | |
back control of our laws, borders, fisheries, and crucially we voted to | :32:51. | :32:56. | |
leave the single market. Those in politics who were saying we could | :32:57. | :33:00. | |
leave the EU but stay in the single market am basically they were trying | :33:01. | :33:03. | |
to keep us inside the European Union. It is perfectly clear what | :33:04. | :33:08. | |
people voted for. Is Ukip still a threat to the Tories. I think Nigel | :33:09. | :33:15. | |
will probably be back in 2019. Please! Ukip as a temporary leader | :33:16. | :33:24. | |
and Nigel will come back at the end of 2018 to say that Brexit has not | :33:25. | :33:28. | |
been delivered. He will seize back control but his main threat will be | :33:29. | :33:33. | |
to Labour in the North. By that time you will be in such trouble because | :33:34. | :33:37. | |
Corbyn will have been leader for further two years and Nigel stands a | :33:38. | :33:41. | |
real chance of Labour seats in the North. I am not sure he is a threat | :33:42. | :33:48. | |
to the Tories. He is saying you are just on sabbatical, not retired. I | :33:49. | :33:54. | |
am done with party politics. Didn't you say that last time? For three | :33:55. | :34:01. | |
days, and then I came back. You are only five days in now! Have given up | :34:02. | :34:08. | |
politics, the backbiting. What are the odds on you coming back? Reed I | :34:09. | :34:14. | |
don't know. I don't want to do it again. Are you behind this attempt | :34:15. | :34:23. | |
to build a right-wing Momentum movement, a mirror image of Corbyn's | :34:24. | :34:26. | |
on the left, that your mate is bankrolling? 38 degrees is a better | :34:27. | :34:34. | |
example of a centre-left development through the internet who have been | :34:35. | :34:38. | |
effective lobbying MPs, getting people to sign petitions and all the | :34:39. | :34:43. | |
rest of it. I what Aaron Banks did, it was really interesting, to build | :34:44. | :34:47. | |
1 million online supporters for the Brexit calls from across the | :34:48. | :34:50. | |
spectrum. I am in courage in him to keep going with that, to make sure | :34:51. | :34:58. | |
that as Theresa May says, Brexit means Brexit. It means we leave the | :34:59. | :35:05. | |
single market... Not again! I have heard all this. Wouldn't your | :35:06. | :35:08. | |
successor rather have the Aaron Banks money for the Ukip party | :35:09. | :35:13. | |
funds? He can spend his money as he wishes. He has backed Ukip and he | :35:14. | :35:20. | |
will go on backing Ukip, I am sure. But he is trying to build something | :35:21. | :35:24. | |
a little bit along the lines of the Italian 5-star movement in Italy, | :35:25. | :35:29. | |
where an online political movement is fundamentally changing Italian | :35:30. | :35:33. | |
politics. I see you are now best mates with Donald Trump. So it | :35:34. | :35:41. | |
looks. Is he going to win? I think he is. I get the difficulties of the | :35:42. | :35:46. | |
swing states, but I think momentum is with him. Hillary Clinton's | :35:47. | :35:50. | |
campaign looks tired and out of touch and Trump looks very | :35:51. | :35:55. | |
disciplined. You have managed to cheer up everybody else. Look at | :35:56. | :35:58. | |
their faces. Miranda is near suicidal. The Remain camp do not | :35:59. | :36:05. | |
want change of any kind in any western country. It is coming. It is | :36:06. | :36:09. | |
happening. Wake up, smell the coffee. On this point of total | :36:10. | :36:17. | |
agreement... We are going to move on. I do not want change which is | :36:18. | :36:23. | |
why I am looking forward to Nigel returning. My world is | :36:24. | :36:26. | |
discombobulated and I am reassured that he will be back. That is a | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
point you have made and I have finally got it. Thank you, Nigel and | :36:31. | :36:35. | |
Miranda. You can go and like down in a dark room and we will wake you up | :36:36. | :36:37. | |
later. Now, you may have breathed a sigh | :36:38. | :36:40. | |
of relief when you realised Michael Portillo wasn't around | :36:41. | :36:43. | |
to manspread in pastel chinos The truth is he can't stand to be | :36:44. | :36:45. | |
here because it's the first That's right, this time last year, | :36:46. | :36:49. | |
Hackney Abbott ditched him to rekindle her socialist fervour | :36:50. | :36:53. | |
with old flame Comrade Corbyn. Of course, we invited old choo choo | :36:54. | :36:55. | |
to the Green Room to drown his sorrows with Blue Nun, | :36:56. | :36:59. | |
but he said this week, That's why we've decided to put | :37:00. | :37:03. | |
break-ups in the Spotlight. I think it's a reality of marriage | :37:04. | :37:16. | |
that you go through hard times. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie | :37:17. | :37:25. | |
went their separate ways this week, And what of the perfect | :37:26. | :37:29. | |
Bake Off couple? Paul Hollywood says he wants | :37:30. | :37:36. | |
to stick with the dough But Mary Berry's had | :37:37. | :37:38. | |
enough of soggy bottoms, leaving viewers crying | :37:39. | :37:41. | |
into their cake mix. I think the ability to unite | :37:42. | :37:46. | |
the party is something There seems little love lost | :37:47. | :37:50. | |
between Jezza and his first wife who announced this week she'd vote | :37:51. | :37:56. | |
for Owen Smith. And what of rocky relations | :37:57. | :38:00. | |
between North and South The NEC told Scottish Labour Leader | :38:01. | :38:02. | |
Kezia Dugdale that she could go David Cameron used to be devoted | :38:03. | :38:06. | |
to his constituents. I love being MP for Witney and I'm | :38:07. | :38:14. | |
very keen to continue. But despite all the talk | :38:15. | :38:17. | |
of serving the country, bomb the back benches, | :38:18. | :38:21. | |
he's hastily anulled their union. Even some of Angela Merkel's fans | :38:22. | :38:28. | |
have struck up a romance with Should unhappy couples stay | :38:29. | :38:31. | |
together, or break-up for the kids? Now we were meant to interview | :38:32. | :38:44. | |
Katie Price at this stage. But I'm delighted to be joined | :38:45. | :38:47. | |
by Jimmy Brown from UB40 instead. Delighted to see you here. Speaking | :38:48. | :39:08. | |
of splits and break-ups, there are a lot around in politics and private | :39:09. | :39:13. | |
life and so on. The UB40 split, was it tough? It wasn't that bad. I | :39:14. | :39:19. | |
don't see it as a split because all we did was lose a singer. We would | :39:20. | :39:25. | |
not be the first to do that. Our singer went solo. We are in | :39:26. | :39:30. | |
difficulties now, because he had a solo career but did not do as well | :39:31. | :39:34. | |
as he thought and started using the name again. So we are going through | :39:35. | :39:39. | |
the courts at the moment. But we haven't split, really. The rest of | :39:40. | :39:44. | |
the band are still here. It was only one that went. Mind you, the singer | :39:45. | :39:49. | |
is quite important. Pretty important. Not as important as the | :39:50. | :39:54. | |
drama. We had his brother in the cupboard waiting, so we took him out | :39:55. | :39:58. | |
and replaced him and everything is lovely. We just did our biggest | :39:59. | :40:03. | |
touring about 20 years. Win splits like that come on the agenda, do we | :40:04. | :40:09. | |
fight hard enough to stop the splits from happening, or do we just think | :40:10. | :40:14. | |
we are too lazy, we will get through, let's just get on with it? | :40:15. | :40:22. | |
I think it's a sign of the times. There are hysterical times going on | :40:23. | :40:28. | |
at the moment, causing all kinds of splits between different camps. I | :40:29. | :40:33. | |
think it's a sign of the times. There is a lot of splitting. Brexit | :40:34. | :40:39. | |
is a split. Brad and Angelina is a split. Bake Off is a split. You | :40:40. | :40:46. | |
leaving the Shadow Cabinet is a split. Up there with Mary Berry | :40:47. | :40:59. | |
leaving. Are we becoming more of a break-up ridden society? It is too | :41:00. | :41:03. | |
late, I have no idea what you are talking about. Are we becoming more | :41:04. | :41:13. | |
atomised as a society. Many people at the moment are feeling anxious in | :41:14. | :41:17. | |
this country about a lot of things. It is a lot to do with economic | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
insecurity. We have had seismic changes politically in the last few | :41:22. | :41:25. | |
years and I think it's very hard to predict what the future will look | :41:26. | :41:29. | |
like, and thereof very few politicians talking about a positive | :41:30. | :41:31. | |
vision for the future and how we shape it. -- there are very few | :41:32. | :41:39. | |
politicians. That has created the sense of people feeling quite | :41:40. | :41:43. | |
anxious about things. And I don't think Mary Berry leaving Bake Off | :41:44. | :41:48. | |
has helped. But I do love her. I can't wait to see her new show. You | :41:49. | :41:57. | |
had a split with government offices. Yes, I have exit it. The Tory party | :41:58. | :42:01. | |
is split with me and I am on the backbenches. But I think we are | :42:02. | :42:05. | |
staying together. Despite being rejected from the government, I | :42:06. | :42:09. | |
remain utterly loyal to the Prime Minister, so I hope she is watching. | :42:10. | :42:14. | |
And we shouldn't forget that Scotland decided to stay. There are | :42:15. | :42:18. | |
examples where people look at the door and decide not to walk through | :42:19. | :42:21. | |
it. I think we should cheer up a bit. Were you upset by the Brexit | :42:22. | :42:34. | |
split? I was with Corbyn, really. I really did not want to be left in | :42:35. | :42:40. | |
the hands of Boris. Do you think Labour will split? No. There is | :42:41. | :42:44. | |
nowhere for the rebels to go. Back in the day, there was the SDP. So I | :42:45. | :42:51. | |
don't see a split, I really don't. And you would be happy to see Mr | :42:52. | :42:55. | |
Corbyn get re-elected? Very happy, yes. Do you think he can win an | :42:56. | :43:03. | |
election? Definitely. We have a low turnout in this country compare to | :43:04. | :43:06. | |
other countries. It is about getting people out and voting. They cannot | :43:07. | :43:11. | |
use the mainstream press the way the Tories do. They have low membership | :43:12. | :43:15. | |
in the Tory party and they are happy to get the message out through the | :43:16. | :43:21. | |
mainstream media. You will have to write us a campaign song. You said | :43:22. | :43:27. | |
you have just finished a tour. We are just starting one. In Leeds, I | :43:28. | :43:33. | |
think. It is the end of one of the biggest tours we have done in a long | :43:34. | :43:38. | |
time. The final leg. Good luck with it. Good to see you. | :43:39. | :43:40. | |
Keith Vaz is having his select committee | :43:41. | :43:45. | |
I'm told there will be party poppers and, um, poppers. | :43:46. | :43:53. | |
# Baby, baby Naneun mwol jom aneunnom | :43:54. | :44:35. | |
# Baby, baby Naneun mwol jom aneunnom | :44:36. | :44:43. | |
OK, my love, I'm going to tell you how to give him mouth to mouth, OK? | :44:44. | :45:15. | |
When resources stretch to breaking point, | :45:16. | :45:17. | |
follow London's emergency ambulance service | :45:18. | :45:19. | |
as they make life or death decisions every day. | :45:20. | :45:22. | |
It's now been three hours that this guy's been waiting. He's 92. | :45:23. | :45:26. | |
This is upsetting, because now he's got to wait longer. | :45:27. | :45:30. |
