Hello, it's Monday, it's 9am, I'm Victoria Derbyshire.

:00:07.:00:08.

Our top story today is more fallout from the EU referendum

:00:09.:00:15.

- a close friend of Boris Johnson attacks Tory leadership

:00:16.:00:17.

contender Michael Gove, saying he's unfit

:00:18.:00:19.

And that's not all, is it, Norman Smith?

:00:20.:00:25.

Tensions erupting in the Tory ranks as Theresa May's backers say she

:00:26.:00:31.

will not guarantee EU migrants living in the UK the right to stay

:00:32.:00:37.

here while Angela Eagle from the Labour Party says of Jeremy Corbyn

:00:38.:00:38.

does not quit, she will stand. And after 10.30am this morning

:00:39.:00:43.

a Cabinet minister and former Cabinet minister will exclusively

:00:44.:00:45.

tell this programme who they're backing in the race to be

:00:46.:00:47.

the next Prime Minister. Plus we'll hear from religious

:00:48.:00:50.

leaders who're issuing a plea for unity following divisions we've

:00:51.:00:52.

seen after the leave vote. Plus an exclusive report

:00:53.:00:58.

from Ed Miliband, the former leader He's been investigating rent-to-own

:00:59.:01:00.

companies for this programme. They should be a cap on the total

:01:01.:01:14.

costs that rent-to-own companies can charge, be done with payday lenders

:01:15.:01:16.

and it is worth it. That exclusive report

:01:17.:01:20.

coming up shortly - And, as always, we're keen

:01:21.:01:22.

to hear your experiences And as Wales fans tried to get

:01:23.:01:34.

tickets to the semifinal after that magnificent performance against

:01:35.:01:36.

Belgium and the rest of us try to find out if we have some well

:01:37.:01:39.

shimmers, we will explore the psychology of the underdog side who

:01:40.:01:44.

have done so brilliant. If you work hard enough and are not afraid to

:01:45.:01:46.

dream and not afraid to fail... Welcome to the programme,

:01:47.:01:56.

we're live until 11am. Throughout the programme we'll bring

:01:57.:01:59.

you the latest breaking news We're expecting UKIP leader

:02:00.:02:02.

Nigel Farage to give a speech setting out UKIP's role

:02:03.:02:08.

in a post-Brexit Britain after 10am this morning -

:02:09.:02:12.

we'll bring you some of it live. As always, we're really keen

:02:13.:02:15.

for you to get in touch on all the stories we're talking

:02:16.:02:19.

about this morning. Particularly if you want

:02:20.:02:24.

to share your own experience of rent-to-own companies

:02:25.:02:26.

- use #VictoriaLive. And if you text, you will be charged

:02:27.:02:29.

at the standard network rate. George Osborne has pledged to slash

:02:30.:02:32.

the amount of tax businesses pay in order to encourage

:02:33.:02:38.

investment in the wake In a newspaper interview,

:02:39.:02:40.

the Chancellor said cutting corporation tax was one of his five

:02:41.:02:47.

priorities to show the UK Britain may have voted to leave

:02:48.:02:50.

the EU, but the country is very much That is the message

:02:51.:02:56.

the Chancellor wants to send to companies

:02:57.:03:00.

that might now be having doubts

:03:01.:03:02.

about investing in the UK George Osborne has told

:03:03.:03:05.

the Financial Times he plans That is the rate at which companies

:03:06.:03:09.

pay tax on their profits. It would drop from the current

:03:10.:03:15.

20% to below 15%. That would make it the lowest

:03:16.:03:18.

corporation tax rate Compare that, for example,

:03:19.:03:22.

with 39% in the USA, It would even take it close

:03:23.:03:30.

to the competitive 12.5% That is very different

:03:31.:03:36.

from what Mr Osborne was suggesting There'll be a hole

:03:37.:03:40.

in public finances. You've got Chancellors from two

:03:41.:03:46.

different political parties saying that taxes will have to go up,

:03:47.:03:48.

spending will have to be cut. That is the reality

:03:49.:03:51.

of quitting the EU. That talk of imposing ?30 billion

:03:52.:03:54.

in tax rises and spending cuts has now gone, replaced by an attempt

:03:55.:03:58.

to woo business and keep Boris Johnson has accused

:03:59.:04:00.

the Government of failing to explain how the vote to leave the EU can be

:04:01.:04:12.

made to work in the UK's interests. In a column in The Daily Telegraph,

:04:13.:04:16.

the former Leave campaigner says "hysteria" is sweeping parts

:04:17.:04:20.

of the population who wanted He argues that they need

:04:21.:04:22.

more reassurance. Our political Guru Norman Smith

:04:23.:04:35.

is in Westminster. The Tory infighting continues. That

:04:36.:04:44.

is a mild way of putting it! I have never seen anything like this, this

:04:45.:04:48.

is fear and loathing on stilts. This morning we get a Boris Johnson

:04:49.:04:55.

backlash, he wading into David Cameron for, in his view, not doing

:04:56.:05:00.

enough to reassure people over Brexit saying they are encountering

:05:01.:05:02.

the sort of atmosphere we saw in the aftermath of the death of Lady Diana

:05:03.:05:08.

even more, his campaign manager, the person who was meant to be running

:05:09.:05:14.

his leadership campaign, Ben Wallace, has launched an

:05:15.:05:16.

extraordinary attack on Michael Gove, saying, in effect, Michael

:05:17.:05:21.

Gove is a gossip, he's fond of a drink and he cannot be trusted. You

:05:22.:05:25.

would not want to entrust him with the secrets of the nation. Utterly

:05:26.:05:31.

extraordinary. At the same time as this blood over the stage, we have

:05:32.:05:35.

serious divisions merging between the rival candidates, particularly

:05:36.:05:38.

over that fraught issue of immigration. What has emerged is a

:05:39.:05:44.

Theresa May, the frontrunner, is in the market to do some sort of deal

:05:45.:05:50.

over freedom of movement which those who favoured Brexit, they thought we

:05:51.:05:55.

had to stop this and Theresa May thinks we have to do a deal on this

:05:56.:06:00.

so that companies can still get access to the single market and the

:06:01.:06:05.

biggest bust up will emerge after one of her supporters, Philip

:06:06.:06:09.

Hammond, suggested that it would be absurd to guarantee that EU migrants

:06:10.:06:14.

currently living and working in the UK should definitely be allowed to

:06:15.:06:21.

stay. He is putting up big question over whether EU migrants working

:06:22.:06:26.

here, doctors, nurses, care workers, whether they will automatically have

:06:27.:06:29.

the right to stay. That will provoke huge controversy. Already Michael

:06:30.:06:35.

Gove's team say we will guarantee that and Yvette Cooper has written

:06:36.:06:39.

to the Prime Minister demanding he issues a statement on this

:06:40.:06:42.

guaranteeing the rights of EU migrants, saying this is a hugely

:06:43.:06:48.

inflammatory intervention. We will talk to the former Labour leader Ed

:06:49.:06:51.

Miliband about that because he has a point of view on whether EU citizens

:06:52.:06:56.

should be guaranteed that right. I also want to ask about the current

:06:57.:07:00.

Labour leader. The current Chancellor, remember him? The big

:07:01.:07:05.

announcement from George Osborne, it is a tiny reminder that there is

:07:06.:07:08.

some governing still going on despite the Conservative infighting?

:07:09.:07:14.

That is interesting because you sense the Chancellor house to rip up

:07:15.:07:19.

his game plan post election. You will remember that after the Tory

:07:20.:07:22.

election victory, we were told that the aim was to get the books

:07:23.:07:26.

balanced by the end of the Parliament, that has been torn up

:07:27.:07:30.

and put in the den and be not find that corporation tax will have to be

:07:31.:07:39.

racks dine to 15%. That is a massive cut the Chancellor feels that is

:07:40.:07:42.

necessary to try to give businesses some sort of confidence and sense

:07:43.:07:46.

that Britain is still a place where they should invest and do business.

:07:47.:07:51.

Amid mounting concerns that many investors are thinking they will not

:07:52.:07:54.

do anything because we have no idea what is going to happen in Britain

:07:55.:07:58.

in terms of whether it will get access to the single market. It

:07:59.:08:02.

underlines the really deep unease over what is going to happen to the

:08:03.:08:07.

economy. And in terms of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn is still leader

:08:08.:08:11.

and his former shadow business Minister, Angela Eagle, says she

:08:12.:08:15.

will still stand against him but not yet? We are in this weird Mexican

:08:16.:08:22.

stand-off, they are like gunslingers ready to go. There is the suggestion

:08:23.:08:27.

this morning that the unions could intervene as try to broker some sort

:08:28.:08:30.

of peace deal. They would go off to the bar and live happily ever after.

:08:31.:08:36.

I cannot see that happening because Angela Eagle this morning was pretty

:08:37.:08:40.

clear that if Jeremy Corbyn does not walk away, she will stand. Listen...

:08:41.:08:48.

He is not properly engaged with even the Deputy Leader of the party, who

:08:49.:08:53.

was elected with a mandate. It is time that he did so. How many

:08:54.:09:00.

people? MPs and party members, are asking me to resolve this. And I

:09:01.:09:03.

will have something is not done soon. Are you still prepared to run

:09:04.:09:11.

against him? I have the support to run and resolve this and I will do

:09:12.:09:14.

so if Jeremy does not take action soon. That is all I have to say.

:09:15.:09:22.

Talking to the critics of Mr Corbyn, what are you doing? Willie Rennie

:09:23.:09:28.

stand? They seem to want to wait until the Chilcott report is

:09:29.:09:30.

published on Wednesday because that is a huge moment but after that, the

:09:31.:09:38.

game is on. Showdown still looming in the ranks of the Labour Party.

:09:39.:09:42.

Thank you very much. And we will talk to Ed Miliband about the

:09:43.:09:48.

fallout from the EU vote and the current state of the Labour Party

:09:49.:09:52.

and about rent-to-own companies. His exclusive film is coming up.

:09:53.:09:57.

A legal challenge has been brought to ensure the government follows

:09:58.:10:00.

lawful procedure when leaving the European Union.

:10:01.:10:02.

A group of academics and business people is trying to force

:10:03.:10:04.

the government to pass an Act of Parliament before it

:10:05.:10:07.

They want assurances that Britain will not use executive powers

:10:08.:10:13.

to start the process of leaving the EU.

:10:14.:10:17.

Joanna is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary

:10:18.:10:24.

The Iraqi government has declared three days of national

:10:25.:10:28.

mourning after the weekend's deadly bomb attack.

:10:29.:10:32.

Officials say 106 65 people were killed and more than 200 injured

:10:33.:10:37.

after a lorry packed with excuses was blown up in a busy shopping

:10:38.:10:39.

area. The so-called Islamic State says it

:10:40.:10:40.

carried out the attack. Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen

:10:41.:10:43.

reports from Baghdad. The bombs and the fires

:10:44.:10:45.

consumed so many lives. It is supposed to be

:10:46.:10:49.

a sacred and festive season, the last few days of

:10:50.:10:56.

the holy month of Ramadan. This was the so-called

:10:57.:10:58.

Islamic State's latest gift He says that Iraqis are like sheep

:10:59.:11:00.

among wolves, everyone is coming We don't, we don't have any

:11:01.:11:06.

security, any real security in Iraq. Yes, we have a lot of police,

:11:07.:11:11.

we have a lot of army, Islamic State, Sunni extremists,

:11:12.:11:18.

said they were targeting Shia A main reason why IS attacked

:11:19.:11:26.

was the defeat they have just It means they have lost

:11:27.:11:32.

a stronghold less than an hour's All the destruction and killing add

:11:33.:11:39.

up to a clear message from the jihadists of

:11:40.:11:45.

so-called Islamic State. That they may be defeated

:11:46.:11:46.

on the battlefield, but they are still able to hit back

:11:47.:11:48.

where it hurts most, by killing civilians in the heart

:11:49.:11:52.

of this capital city, The Former Labour Leader Ed Miliband

:11:53.:11:56.

has carried out an investigation for this programme into rent-to-own

:11:57.:12:08.

companies, which allow shoppers to pay for items like TVs,

:12:09.:12:12.

fridges and washing machines In many cases, Mr Miliband found

:12:13.:12:14.

consumers can end up paying up to three times more for the product

:12:15.:12:20.

than the original price. He also found some companies

:12:21.:12:23.

are selling these goods to vulnerable people with learning

:12:24.:12:27.

difficulties who may not understand Brighthouse, the biggest company,

:12:28.:12:38.

says rent-to-own is a different proposition to other forms of retail

:12:39.:12:41.

and they undertake extensive affordability assessments before

:12:42.:12:46.

lending. We will have more on that investigation throughout the

:12:47.:12:46.

programme. The father of a British boy killed

:12:47.:12:51.

by an alligator at Disney World in Florida last month,

:12:52.:12:54.

has said that two alligators Matt Graves, whose son, Lane,

:12:55.:12:56.

was seized by an alligator while he was paddling in shallow

:12:57.:13:00.

water, said he was attacked by the second animal as he tried

:13:01.:13:02.

to save his son. Five alligators were killed

:13:03.:13:05.

on the day after the attack Most unpaid carers are still not

:13:06.:13:07.

receiving the support they are entitled to,

:13:08.:13:11.

a year after new rules came into force to improve

:13:12.:13:13.

their health and wellbeing. That's according to research

:13:14.:13:16.

from The Carers Trust. Since last April, councils have

:13:17.:13:19.

been required to provide assessments and support

:13:20.:13:22.

to protect carers' wellbeing. But a review by the former

:13:23.:13:26.

Care Minister Paul Burstow found 65% He says government, councils

:13:27.:13:29.

and the NHS must do more I'm very frustrated that after the

:13:30.:13:44.

first 12 months, it would appear that councils are not following the

:13:45.:13:48.

letter of the law and they're offering a one-off payment in many

:13:49.:13:52.

cases which is fobbing off carers. And they are certainly not doing

:13:53.:13:55.

enough to raise the awareness of carers that this is something they

:13:56.:13:59.

have as a right and they should be taking advantage of it because in

:14:00.:14:02.

the end, carers are saving councils are forging. -- a fortune.

:14:03.:14:09.

A Nasa spacecraft is about to arrive at the largest planet

:14:10.:14:11.

in the solar system - Jupiter.

:14:12.:14:13.

The probe was launched in 2011 and has travelled

:14:14.:14:15.

Entering into orbit will be fraught with dangers,

:14:16.:14:18.

but if the spacecraft succeeds, it will give us our best

:14:19.:14:20.

That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 9.30am.

:14:21.:14:28.

The normally bring new sport right now but there has been a mix-up with

:14:29.:14:35.

the rudder. We are looking for a sports presenter! We will talk about

:14:36.:14:42.

Wales with some real Welsh people and people who are hoping to find

:14:43.:14:45.

some Welsh somewhere in their heritage! First...

:14:46.:14:50.

First this morning, an exclusive report by the former

:14:51.:14:55.

Labour leader Ed Miliband, who investigates the rent-to-own

:14:56.:14:57.

Rent-to-own companies allow shoppers to pay for items like TVs,

:14:58.:15:01.

games consoles, fridges and washing machines in weekly instalments,

:15:02.:15:04.

But consumers can end up paying up to three times more for the product

:15:05.:15:08.

and we've discovered that some companies are selling these goods

:15:09.:15:11.

to vulnerable people with mental health problems and learning

:15:12.:15:15.

difficulties leading to concerns that they may not understand

:15:16.:15:18.

The Citizens Advice Bureau tells us it receives thousands of complaints

:15:19.:15:26.

a month about the sector and the regulator must do more

:15:27.:15:29.

In this exclusive report, Ed Miliband tells us he wants

:15:30.:15:33.

rent-to-own companies to be regulated like payday loan firms,

:15:34.:15:36.

which since 2015 have had to cap the interest,

:15:37.:15:38.

The former Labour leader has campaigned against rent-to-own

:15:39.:15:46.

firms, and he's tried to persuade people to use credit unions instead.

:15:47.:15:49.

against and he's tried to persuade people to use

:15:50.:15:51.

The biggest company in the rent-to-own sector

:15:52.:15:55.

We asked them to take part in our report -

:15:56.:15:59.

With so much choice on the High Street, we are told

:16:00.:16:05.

But around five million people in the UK can't get credit.

:16:06.:16:13.

Lots of people can't borrow money to buy household goods like a TV

:16:14.:16:19.

or cooker and I'm seeing more and more people turning

:16:20.:16:21.

to rent-to-own shops like Perfect Home or BrightHouse,

:16:22.:16:25.

People can get a TV on the spot and pay for it by weekly

:16:26.:16:32.

instalments, but it can be incredibly expensive.

:16:33.:16:34.

My constituents have told me they can end up paying

:16:35.:16:36.

If they miss a payment or are late, the costs spiral, or worse

:16:37.:16:42.

they lose their TV along with their money.

:16:43.:16:51.

As leader of the Labour Party and now as a backbench MP,

:16:52.:16:57.

I've talked about the need for firms to do right by their

:16:58.:17:00.

BrightHouse have 300 stores across the country, often

:17:01.:17:03.

One of them is in Doncaster, in my constituency,

:17:04.:17:08.

and I want to find out what kind of service

:17:09.:17:12.

I'm concerned that BrightHouse are taking advantage of people

:17:13.:17:18.

on benefits and working on low incomes.

:17:19.:17:22.

And in the course of our investigation I have been

:17:23.:17:25.

that BrightHouse are selling to people with mental health

:17:26.:17:28.

He suffers with mental health problems, severe mental

:17:29.:17:31.

Craig is 38, and has autism and cerebral palsy.

:17:32.:17:38.

His mum Betty says her son didn't understand the BrightHouse contract.

:17:39.:17:41.

He'll pay but then he has got nothing for himself for food,

:17:42.:17:48.

Just tell us a bit about what experience

:17:49.:17:59.

Craig apparently had been in and bought this

:18:00.:18:03.

I kept seeing it in the house and I didn't really twig.

:18:04.:18:14.

Then I said how much are you paying for that?

:18:15.:18:17.

How many times have I said don't touch them with a barge pole?

:18:18.:18:31.

Do you think it would have been obvious to the BrightHouse staff

:18:32.:18:34.

that Craig had learning difficulties?

:18:35.:18:35.

And what was the reaction of BrightHouse when you

:18:36.:18:40.

complained in the shop and when you wrote to them?

:18:41.:18:46.

Well, the man in the shop said we go through this thing to make sure

:18:47.:18:50.

Although Betty believes BrightHouse should have realised her son

:18:51.:19:01.

was vulnerable, she does say they stopped taking payments

:19:02.:19:03.

from Craig's account as soon as she told them about his situation

:19:04.:19:06.

BrightHouse dispute Betty's claims that it would have been obvious that

:19:07.:19:11.

Craig had learning difficulties as a member of staff

:19:12.:19:14.

judged Craig to be capable of making his own decisions and had

:19:15.:19:17.

no reason to believe he wasn't aware of what he was doing.

:19:18.:19:22.

The Financial Conduct Authority, the body that regulates

:19:23.:19:27.

If companies have reason to believe that the customer has

:19:28.:19:32.

a learning disability, they must take reasonable steps

:19:33.:19:34.

to assist the customer to make an informed decision.

:19:35.:19:37.

If they believe the customer isn't able to understand the nature

:19:38.:19:42.

of the agreement then the firm is to make an assessment

:19:43.:19:45.

of whether it is appropriate to lend.

:19:46.:19:47.

But I don't think that is clear enough and the guidelines

:19:48.:19:50.

Paul, not his real name, is another vulnerable adult.

:19:51.:19:53.

He has learning difficulties and mental health problems.

:19:54.:20:01.

You've told me that you have some mental health issues and issues

:20:02.:20:04.

like epilepsy and you describe yourself as quite vulnerable.

:20:05.:20:06.

Do you want to tell me what you are owing

:20:07.:20:42.

to them and what goods you've got with them?

:20:43.:20:44.

How have you ended up with that number of items, do you think?

:20:45.:21:09.

I think I must have started paying off one.

:21:10.:21:12.

When you go into the BrightHouse store, what have you said to them

:21:13.:21:18.

about your own finances and what have they said to you?

:21:19.:21:21.

This thing is a nice thing and I say, well,

:21:22.:21:24.

it is but I have got other things to pay.

:21:25.:21:26.

You can have what you want out of the stores.

:21:27.:21:29.

Does the whole situation with BrightHouse cause you anxiety?

:21:30.:21:31.

BrightHouse denies exploiting consumers in vulnerable

:21:32.:21:39.

circumstances or selling items to people who cannot afford them

:21:40.:21:42.

and says they have sufficient policies and procedures

:21:43.:21:45.

in place to prevent these practices from happening.

:21:46.:21:48.

I think it was a ?300 laptop. We have done.

:21:49.:22:04.

When you bought it, was that clear to you that

:22:05.:22:16.

It's all in the small print and stuff.

:22:17.:22:20.

What kinds of things do you buy from them?

:22:21.:22:25.

How long have you been a customer for?

:22:26.:22:37.

If you can't pay, they will help you to sort out your difficulties.

:22:38.:22:53.

The weekly payments at BrightHouse might seem cheap.

:22:54.:22:57.

But add in compulsory 5-star service, including delivery

:22:58.:23:10.

and installation at ?55, and Service Plus, repair

:23:11.:23:12.

or replacement of your item, which costs ?136, on top of that

:23:13.:23:15.

interest rates of 69.9% a year and payments spread over three

:23:16.:23:21.

years, you end up paying a grand total of ?1,092.

:23:22.:23:29.

This is the first item I got off BrightHouse.

:23:30.:23:33.

It has got some screws under here that have come loose.

:23:34.:23:35.

On here there should be another screw.

:23:36.:23:40.

BrightHouse say they carry out affordability checks to make

:23:41.:23:42.

sure people can keep up with the weekly repayments.

:23:43.:23:45.

Angela Jackson says BrightHouse should carry out much more

:23:46.:23:47.

She has a fridge freezer and a TV stand and has

:23:48.:23:52.

And how much are you paying for this in total?

:23:53.:23:58.

Basically if the kid chips it or anything like that.

:23:59.:24:08.

So nobody went through your finances and said is it affordable?

:24:09.:24:11.

They just said basically that I could.

:24:12.:24:18.

They have to know what money I had got.

:24:19.:24:20.

They didn't go through what I have to pay out, the bill

:24:21.:24:23.

situation and the children or anything like that.

:24:24.:24:28.

They just said, "Right, you can have such and such."

:24:29.:24:31.

I can have anything I want out of the shop.

:24:32.:24:33.

"Angela, if you introduce somebody, you could get this.

:24:34.:24:38.

We will take money off your bill, ?50."

:24:39.:24:40.

Get my bill down a little bit because it's high,

:24:41.:24:43.

Because it's dear and people who haven't got the money

:24:44.:24:52.

to just go and do it, they think they can

:24:53.:24:54.

Just a little bit more expensive and it's there.

:24:55.:24:59.

Well, she has ended up skinting herself.

:25:00.:25:09.

She ended up without gas and electric.

:25:10.:25:11.

Walk on by, that is what I would say.

:25:12.:25:14.

When I walk in, I am literally a minute.

:25:15.:25:22.

I just give them my money, my name and address and I go before

:25:23.:25:29.

anyone comes and badgers me to see if I want anything.

:25:30.:25:34.

I'm interested in what it looks like on the other side

:25:35.:25:37.

Zoe left her sales job at BrightHouse after five years

:25:38.:25:40.

From a personal point of view, you could obviously see that

:25:41.:25:46.

somebody couldn't afford the items that they wanted.

:25:47.:25:51.

But if the computer allowed them to add that on to their account,

:25:52.:25:55.

Do you think it was clear to customers that in relation

:25:56.:25:59.

to the service agreement, they knew what they were buying?

:26:00.:26:07.

I think because of the information that's given to a new customer

:26:08.:26:10.

joining BrightHouse, the amount that was read out to them,

:26:11.:26:12.

I think it was too much and they didn't quite understand

:26:13.:26:15.

So did you have experience of selling to people

:26:16.:26:24.

who had been sold goods and then fell behind and couldn't

:26:25.:26:26.

People will see something for a small amount each week

:26:27.:26:32.

and that is the figure they will look at.

:26:33.:26:36.

In reality the amount they are paying back and the length

:26:37.:26:39.

of time it would take to pay it back was different.

:26:40.:26:42.

People would say maybe that is only ?5 per week, I can afford that.

:26:43.:26:45.

Before they know it they are paying ?100 per week, they are a single

:26:46.:26:53.

parent with children and it is unaffordable.

:26:54.:26:56.

Morally I felt as though it was wrong.

:26:57.:27:00.

I had a few people who were behind on things and got themselves

:27:01.:27:03.

And did you have experience of people having goods that were faulty

:27:04.:27:11.

I have had experience of goods going away for repair

:27:12.:27:19.

and coming back not repaired with the same faults

:27:20.:27:21.

still or an extra fault or broken or damaged or even lost.

:27:22.:27:25.

Some customers would have their items sent away

:27:26.:27:26.

for repair and they would get lost and they would have

:27:27.:27:29.

As part of their 5-star service, BrightHouse says it offers unlimited

:27:30.:27:34.

repairs, loan products when required and replacements.

:27:35.:27:42.

I wanted to speak to BrightHouse, but they declined to be interviewed.

:27:43.:27:45.

So did the Consumer Credit Trade Association and the Finance

:27:46.:27:48.

and Leasing Association, the industry bodies

:27:49.:27:50.

But there are those that make the case that there is a gap

:27:51.:27:56.

in the market and Perfect Home, BrightHouse and others provide

:27:57.:27:59.

The fundamental question is whether or not we think these

:28:00.:28:02.

people should be able to opt into a contract where they pay more

:28:03.:28:06.

overall, but they have the appliances tomorrow,

:28:07.:28:08.

or whether or not they shouldn't have these

:28:09.:28:09.

It's an injustice to tell people that because they are poor

:28:10.:28:13.

they can't have things that in 2016 we would consider necessities.

:28:14.:28:17.

Some of these companies are making very big profits at the expense

:28:18.:28:20.

They're making huge profits because they are taking

:28:21.:28:26.

We see this with credit card companies as well.

:28:27.:28:29.

They're making marginal profits because they are loaning out

:28:30.:28:32.

to people with average credit scores.

:28:33.:28:33.

These rent-to-own companies are often taking on people

:28:34.:28:35.

They don't always know if they are going to get their payments.

:28:36.:28:39.

They are taking on a lot of risk there.

:28:40.:28:42.

They're getting these profits because they have to ensure down

:28:43.:28:44.

the line that they are going to get some kind of return.

:28:45.:28:47.

But in the meantime people who wouldn't have these goods

:28:48.:28:49.

are getting them to their homes next day delivery.

:28:50.:28:54.

The regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority, says companies must

:28:55.:28:59.

provide clear information to their customers and ensure fairness.

:29:00.:29:09.

I don't believe that's happening for many people

:29:10.:29:11.

And Citizens Advice agree that there are real problems

:29:12.:29:14.

They would like the regulator, the FCA, to do more to make sure

:29:15.:29:18.

We're not suggesting that the whole market should be taken off the face

:29:19.:29:23.

We do see people in vulnerable situations pushed into further

:29:24.:29:32.

difficulties, financial difficulty, and then of course emotional stress

:29:33.:29:38.

and worry due to the nature of the debt that they have taken on.

:29:39.:29:41.

People who are disabled or with health conditions,

:29:42.:29:46.

and of course people with mental health conditions as well.

:29:47.:29:48.

Too often we think that the hire purchase firms offer them very

:29:49.:29:53.

little in terms of protection, don't do decent enough

:29:54.:29:55.

affordability checks, and therefore they get themselves

:29:56.:29:57.

From what I have seen, too often rent-to-own companies

:29:58.:30:05.

are taking advantage of people who have nowhere else to go.

:30:06.:30:07.

The regulator needs to stop the most vulnerable in our society

:30:08.:30:10.

Rent-to-own companies should stop selling goods to people who just

:30:11.:30:16.

And I think there should be a cap on the total cost that rent-to-own

:30:17.:30:21.

We have done it with the payday lenders like Wonga

:30:22.:30:27.

As you'd expect, we asked BrightHouse for an interview

:30:28.:30:33.

today; they declined - and instead gave us this

:30:34.:30:35.

statement which says, "We note that this feature

:30:36.:30:38.

is presented by an avowed critic, who consistently

:30:39.:30:40.

BrightHouse serves those lower-income families who are

:30:41.:30:45.

Rent-to-own is a very different proposition

:30:46.:31:10.

We'll talk to the former Labour leader in the next hour.

:31:11.:31:17.

Thank you for getting in touch. David on Facebook says, we need

issue that needs to be looked at, well done. Alan on Facebook Daesh

:31:33.:31:38.

why did Mr Miliband not do this when he had the chance to do so? Simon

says, Rent to Own is called free trade, improve education if people

:31:44.:31:47.

cannot cope. Stephen says this is the first time I have looked at Ed

:31:48.:31:52.

Miliband and thought, good man! As diverse as the treatment of

:31:53.:31:56.

vulnerable people in the UK is a national disgrace and shames

Britain. I am fed up with the week being targeted. Douglas says on

in the normal ways. Still to come: Boris Johnson today

:32:25.:32:29.

calls it "hysteria" - the state of the country amongst

:32:30.:32:33.

some of the population With divisions across the country,

:32:34.:32:35.

in families, in workplaces. We talk to three faith leaders

:32:36.:32:40.

who are going to try and deliver some soothing words to bring

the country together again. And are you one of those desperately

the amount of tax businesses pay in order to encourage investment

:33:05.:33:07.

in the wake of the EU In a newspaper interview,

:33:08.:33:10.

the Chancellor said cutting corporation tax was one of his five

:33:11.:33:14.

priorities to show the UK He also pledged to maintain

:33:15.:33:17.

the so-called Northern Powerhouse investment project despite

:33:18.:33:21.

the Brexit vote. Boris Johnson has accused

:33:22.:33:28.

the Government of failing to explain how the vote to leave the EU can be

:33:29.:33:30.

made to work in the UK's interests. In a column in The Daily Telegraph,

:33:31.:33:34.

the former Leave campaigner says "hysteria" is sweeping parts

:33:35.:33:38.

of the population who wanted He argues that they need more

:33:39.:33:40.

reassurance. The former Shadow Business

:33:41.:33:46.

Secretary, Angela Eagle, has said she'll step in to resolve

:33:47.:33:47.

the leadership crisis in the Labour Party if Jeremy Corbyn

:33:48.:33:53.

doesn't step down soon. But, speaking to reporters

:33:54.:33:56.

outside her house this morning, she accused Mr Corbyn of not

:33:57.:34:00.

being "properly engaged" with the party's deputy

:34:01.:34:02.

leader, Tom Watson. He is not properly engaged with even

:34:03.:34:10.

the Deputy Leader of the party, How many people, MPs and party

members, are asking me And I will if something

is not done soon. Are you still prepared

:34:23.:34:27.

to run against him? I have the support to run

:34:28.:34:33.

and resolve this and I will do so if Jeremy does not

:34:34.:34:36.

take action soon. The Iraqi government has declared

:34:37.:34:49.

three days of mourning after a bomb in Baghdad killed at least 106 to

afford them. I personally find them good for me, my contracts are nearly

completed. My contracts make sense and my payments are nearly competed.

:35:36.:35:42.

Peacekeepers coming in. -- please keep those.

:35:43.:35:45.

After the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox a week before the referendum,

:35:46.:35:48.

MPs from all sides called for a new type of politics -

:35:49.:35:51.

one with less anger and heat, one which tolerates a little more

:35:52.:35:54.

These are some of the comments we've seen from politicians on social

:35:55.:35:59.

Last week Conservative MP Nadine Dorries struggled to fight

:36:00.:36:11.

back her tears as Boris Johnson announced he was backing out

:36:12.:36:13.

of the Tory leadership race after Michael Gove decided

:36:14.:36:16.

to withdraw support from Mr Johnson and put himself forward.

:36:17.:36:21.

She is obviously very angry with Michael Gove. She says...

:36:22.:36:37.

Michael Gove is a Game of Thrones fan.

:36:38.:36:40.

In this stinging attack on Twitter Ben Wallace MP,

:36:41.:36:43.

Boris Johnson's former campaign manager, compared

:36:44.:36:46.

the Justice Secretary to the character Theon Greyjoy,

:36:47.:36:48.

who betrayed his adopted family for personal gain and

:36:49.:36:50.

Threatening to castrate Michael Gove. And that is obviously what

:36:51.:37:15.

people wanted to take from that. -- what he wanted people.

:37:16.:37:18.

Ben Wallace has also written in the Telegraph this morning saying

:37:19.:37:20.

Mr Gove is unfit to be PM - he'd be a security risk

:37:21.:37:24.

because he has an "emotional need to gossip".

:37:25.:37:25.

The Conservative MP for Rossendale and Darwen Jake Berry also took

:37:26.:37:28.

to Twitter declaring that there is a deep pit in hell

:37:29.:37:31.

MPs of other parties have also vented their frustrations

:37:32.:37:35.

The Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron referred to the privileged

:37:36.:37:42.

Oxford Bullingdon Club, infamous for its wealthy members

:37:43.:37:46.

and trashing of restaurants, when he posted this about Boris

:37:47.:37:48.

And the Labour MP for Rhondda, Chris Bryant, said Michael Gove's

:37:49.:38:00.

pitch was the extraordinary bundle of Uriah-Heep-style self conceit

:38:01.:38:02.

And another Labour MP, David Lammy, had his own observations

:38:03.:38:12.

on the turmoil in the Tory Party: Two frivolous Etonians

:38:13.:38:15.

tear the country apart in their own personality feud

:38:16.:38:17.

Then the winner walks away within a week.

:38:18.:38:24.

And it's not just MPs who're being vicious.

:38:25.:38:29.

The referendum result has obviously led to some very happy Leave voters

:38:30.:38:32.

It's also seen the UK divided on lines of geography,

:38:33.:38:36.

Families rowing and an increase in racist and xenophobic abuse.

:38:37.:38:41.

Over the last few days, you may have heard a lot

:38:42.:38:43.

about a divided Britain, a disunited kingdom, following the

:38:44.:38:47.

results of the referendum, which showed clear divisions over the

:38:48.:38:49.

London versus the rest of England, Scotland versus England and

:38:50.:38:53.

Establishment versus working classes.

:38:54.:38:56.

A lot of people kicked against the establishment in this

:38:57.:38:58.

They feel that we only look after ourselves and now look what we

:38:59.:39:03.

We are not looking after the interests of the nation, we are

:39:04.:39:07.

just looking after ourselves and what our next job will be.

:39:08.:39:10.

That one question of whether to leave or remain in the EU

:39:11.:39:14.

has also caused deep divisions within many families.

:39:15.:39:17.

We are being respectful of each other's opinions

:39:18.:39:19.

but I strongly feel the best thing for us

:39:20.:39:21.

and the younger generation is

:39:22.:39:23.

Do you respect your mum's vote to leave first of all?

:39:24.:39:26.

Michael Gove, the Justice Secretary, is

:39:27.:39:31.

throwing his hat into the ring to be Tory leader.

:39:32.:39:34.

He had been expected to

:39:35.:39:35.

back Boris Johnson, the former Mayor of London.

:39:36.:39:39.

Now he says his fellow Leave campaigner isn't up to the job.

:39:40.:39:42.

This is Michael Gove plunging a dagger into the back, front, side,

:39:43.:39:45.

He is at war with his own MPs and it is a war he means to win.

:39:46.:39:56.

More Shadow Cabinet ministers walked out than stayed

:39:57.:40:00.

Some say this war could break Labour for good.

:40:01.:40:05.

I feel I have served in the best way I can and

:40:06.:40:07.

An 11-year-old boy who found a message of hate.

:40:08.:40:16.

This is one of the cards that Mattias found

:40:17.:40:18.

on his way to school on

:40:19.:40:19.

Friday, just hours after the referendum result was declared.

:40:20.:40:21.

Graffiti on the Polish cultural centre in London is another example

:40:22.:40:24.

of the hate many Poles predicted the referendum would bring.

:40:25.:40:29.

Our guest says she has been abused three times

:40:30.:40:31.

There were guys yelling abuse at me to get out of

:40:32.:40:35.

the country from the other side of the platform.

:40:36.:40:39.

It was a packed platform and nobody said anything.

:40:40.:40:42.

The senior politicians in the Leave campaign now,

:40:43.:40:44.

what are they going to do to rein this in?

:40:45.:40:46.

So that's the division and this morning religious leaders

:40:47.:40:52.

are joining together on this programme to call for unity

:40:53.:40:55.

and tolerance in the wake of the EU referendum result.

:40:56.:40:58.

We can speak now to Rabbi Danny Rich, the Chief Executive

:40:59.:41:03.

of Liberal Judaism, Imam Qari Muhammad Asim,

:41:04.:41:05.

who joins us from Leeds, and Dr Graham Tomlin,

:41:06.:41:07.

who's the Bishop of Kensington in London.

:41:08.:41:14.

I want to ask all of you individually, how do you assess the

:41:15.:41:20.

level of division in the UK right now? There certainly is division, I

:41:21.:41:26.

would use the language of uncertainty, there is a great eve of

:41:27.:41:29.

uncertainty as to what the future will be like for lots of people.

:41:30.:41:33.

Wondering what our future coming out of the European Union will be like

:41:34.:41:37.

and for people who have come here from overseas, wondering if there is

:41:38.:41:40.

still a place where they still feel welcome? Can they still make a home

:41:41.:41:46.

here? There is division and uncertainty and a lot of fear. Rabbi

:41:47.:41:52.

Rich, how do you assess this? There has always been division and the

:41:53.:41:57.

referendum has allowed people to say things that had become unspeakable

:41:58.:42:04.

and we are hearing reports across the country of people being abused

:42:05.:42:08.

in the streets because they look different or appear to be European,

:42:09.:42:11.

despite the fact they may be British, and comments like go back

:42:12.:42:16.

home and we are out to get you, never mind the more extreme acts. It

:42:17.:42:20.

is quite worrying and it is the task of legislators, because nobody else

:42:21.:42:25.

seems to be able to do it, to bring the community together and remember

:42:26.:42:28.

what we have in common and the values we need to share. How would

:42:29.:42:36.

you assess the levels of division? I think that the post-Brexit vote has

:42:37.:42:40.

given you find confidence to far right extremists who have always

:42:41.:42:44.

held these years and what is different this time is up in the

:42:45.:42:48.

past might have been attacks on particular community whereas if you

:42:49.:42:53.

look different now, if you speak a different language or have a

:42:54.:42:56.

different accent, you could potentially be under attack and that

:42:57.:42:58.

is what is happening around the country. There was also division

:42:59.:43:05.

within families and within churches, synagogues and mosques, workplaces,

:43:06.:43:13.

schools, isn't there? There is. You can draw a line through all sorts of

:43:14.:43:20.

communities. In my part of West London there is quite a bit of

:43:21.:43:23.

division around this issue and it seems to me that this is precisely

:43:24.:43:26.

the time when we need to come together to say that we are one

:43:27.:43:30.

country, a country that has always been very welcoming to all sorts of

:43:31.:43:36.

people from around the world, one of the wealthier and more stable

:43:37.:43:39.

countries. That is our vocation to do that but we cannot get too hung

:43:40.:43:44.

up about division, we must think about how to rebuild the sense of

:43:45.:43:49.

unity and the sense that this country is a welcoming place to

:43:50.:43:55.

live. Rabbi Rich, to pick up on that, there are many things we have

:43:56.:43:59.

in common, despite the fact that we might have differences over how

:44:00.:44:02.

people voted in this referendum vote? Yes, we have the thing, what

:44:03.:44:09.

are our values? They will have to be protected. Even though some people

:44:10.:44:13.

might attempt to punish people who they think voted the wrong way, that

:44:14.:44:18.

is not how a value led society works, it works on protecting the

:44:19.:44:22.

vulnerable and making people welcome, whether you are here or

:44:23.:44:26.

might come here and reflecting on our national and international

:44:27.:44:28.

responsible it is. We will not heal with the problem of millions of

:44:29.:44:32.

people moving and becoming refugees of the global climate challenge, if

:44:33.:44:37.

that is what needs to be dealt with, on our own. I think that patriotism

:44:38.:44:43.

is laudable, selfish nationalism is not so notable. Who is responsible

:44:44.:44:55.

for these divisions? Unfortunately, the language, rhetoric and

:44:56.:44:57.

underpinning material used by parts of the Leave campaign has given new

:44:58.:45:04.

found confidence to far right extremists and helps to legitimise

:45:05.:45:07.

some of their concerns that they might have expressed in close

:45:08.:45:11.

quarters before. Whatever happens, we are trying to rebuild Britain and

:45:12.:45:18.

that should be built on the basis of tolerance and the values that we

:45:19.:45:20.

always share together in this country. And initiatives like more

:45:21.:45:26.

in common, there needs to be political stability, which is

:45:27.:45:30.

lacking, and also civil society needs to come forward and say,

:45:31.:45:34.

enough is enough. We need to move on. To rebuild Britain. That should

:45:35.:45:37.

not be Do you acknowledge there was

:45:38.:45:48.

intolerance shown to people who voted to Leave. Some have been

:45:49.:45:53.

called racist when they are not. People have voted to leave for a

:45:54.:45:56.

variety of reasons and not every single person who voted to leave is

:45:57.:46:03.

a racist or bigoted, but the dominant campaign has, was

:46:04.:46:07.

intolerant towards minority communities, intolerant towards

:46:08.:46:10.

Muslims, intolerant towards migrants and all of that has given new-found

:46:11.:46:16.

confidence to people who have always held these views against minorities.

:46:17.:46:23.

I have not really seen anything from the pro-leave campaign which is

:46:24.:46:26.

robust enough to actually calm the divisions down in our country.

:46:27.:46:32.

Right. So therefore, you feel it falls to Faith Leaders. Is your

:46:33.:46:37.

voice heard? Is your voice, do people listen to you? I think what's

:46:38.:46:43.

really important is what's happening at grass-roots. One of my churches

:46:44.:46:50.

in my area which is near the Polish centre which had graffiti plastered

:46:51.:46:54.

over it. They got a card and the congregation to sign the card and

:46:55.:46:57.

they will be delivering that today as a gesture of solidarity to Polish

:46:58.:47:01.

people in that part of London. I was in a school last week, a church

:47:02.:47:05.

school in my area which is around 83% non-white, but is a remarkable

:47:06.:47:11.

example of racial harmony and really of very good achieving school. So it

:47:12.:47:15.

seems to me, it is partly us saying that, if you like, as religious

:47:16.:47:20.

leaders, but it is on the roots, encouraging people to reach out to

:47:21.:47:23.

their neighbours and make the effort to go across the road and say, "We

:47:24.:47:27.

value your presence here." Which is what churches and synagogues and

:47:28.:47:31.

mosques are doing elsewhere in the country. Do you believe we still do

:47:32.:47:36.

have a well of sievity in this country or just perhaps miss placed

:47:37.:47:40.

it? Undoubtedly. Many of the persons who claim to be fearful of

:47:41.:47:43.

immigrants don't have many of them in the area. And what's very

:47:44.:47:48.

interesting is that, it is our task on a local level to make people

:47:49.:47:52.

people feel they are not abandoned, whether they be from other

:47:53.:47:55.

minorities, other European countries, we are trying to reassure

:47:56.:48:01.

some of our European members that they're not unwelcomed. We just had

:48:02.:48:11.

our by annum and a number of fement living in particular areas where

:48:12.:48:19.

they voted Leave felt they weren't welcome. A German said, "I'm going

:48:20.:48:24.

back." What did you say to that person? I tried to reassure them.

:48:25.:48:29.

Even people who voted Leave, may not have voted because they hate Germans

:48:30.:48:32.

or they don't like the German people. They voted either out of

:48:33.:48:37.

protest or alienation about their own situation or some of them may

:48:38.:48:41.

have voted because the EU is not a perfect institution by any means at

:48:42.:48:45.

all. But our task locally is to build those links because that's

:48:46.:48:48.

really where it matters and nationally to change the tone of

:48:49.:48:52.

debate about Europe and many other matters in this society. Thank you

:48:53.:48:56.

very much all of you. Thank you for coming on the programme. Thank you.

:48:57.:48:59.

Some messages on social media from you. This is about the rent-to-own

:49:00.:49:04.

sector, the rent-to-own companies, the former Labour leader, Ed

:49:05.:49:09.

Miliband, presented a report earlier highlighting his concerns that

:49:10.:49:13.

perhaps vulnerable people, with mental health problems, or learning

:49:14.:49:17.

difficulties, were signing contracts for goods from rent-to-own firms

:49:18.:49:20.

that they didn't really understand. This tweet from Dave, "Well done for

:49:21.:49:24.

highlighting this." Julia tweets, "Well done, that was an important

:49:25.:49:29.

subject excellently presented." Catherine texted, "It is sad that

:49:30.:49:36.

companies shop at companies like BrightHouse. People who are poor

:49:37.:49:39.

can't afford to save for a rainy day fund. They can't get a loan and

:49:40.:49:46.

afford to buy new and charity shops are too expensive. John says, "I

:49:47.:49:52.

applaud Ed Miliband for his efforts to better regulate rent-to-own

:49:53.:50:00.

company. I question the success against companies like Wonga. How is

:50:01.:50:07.

this a success?" Damon, "Great stuff from Ed. His argument for a cap is

:50:08.:50:18.

compelling." Another viewer tweeted, "BrightHouse and companies like them

:50:19.:50:23.

should have more regulation." Jessica says, "I'm 24 and I have

:50:24.:50:28.

bipolar. Rent-to-own cost me my job and my health. My bill is ?68 per

:50:29.:50:36.

week and no helps you if you can't afford her payments. There is a

:50:37.:50:41.

charge per item if you're late with your weekly payment. They are

:50:42.:50:47.

awful." More on that after 10am. BrightHouse say rent-to-own is

:50:48.:50:52.

different to other forms of retail and they undertake extensive

:50:53.:50:57.

affordability assessments. If you want to share the full film by Ed

:50:58.:51:02.

Miliband, former Labour leader, you can find it on our programme page.

:51:03.:51:06.

We will talk to him live after 10am this morning.

:51:07.:51:10.

We'll be joined by senior Tories, one in the Cabinet,

:51:11.:51:15.

another a former minister, who will tell us, exclusively

:51:16.:51:17.

who they're backing as the next Conservative leader.

:51:18.:51:24.

So Wales are now just one game away from reaching the Euro 2016 final.

:51:25.:51:32.

The captain heads home the equaliser.

:51:33.:51:48.

Something special is happening here tonight.

:51:49.:52:28.

Wales are going into the semifinals.

:52:29.:52:32.

If you work hard enough and you are not afraid to dream

:52:33.:52:58.

I have had more failures than I have had success

:52:59.:53:10.

We are enjoying this win and I think we deserve it.

:53:11.:53:14.

It's 58 years since Wales last qualified for a football tournament

:53:15.:53:17.

and on Wednesday, they face Portugal in the semi-finals.

:53:18.:53:19.

This from a team which was ranked 112 in the world.

:53:20.:53:22.

Manager Chris Coleman says they thrive on being the underdogs,

:53:23.:53:25.

and as you heard him just say - they're not afraid of failure.

:53:26.:53:29.

So how have Wales managed to do so well?

:53:30.:53:36.

Matthew Syed is a sports journalist and author

:53:37.:53:38.

who has spent a lot of time looking at the pyschology of sport.

:53:39.:53:41.

Let's start with that post-match interview that Chris Coleman gave.

:53:42.:53:46.

What did you make of it first of all? Well, I loved it. I just want

:53:47.:53:50.

to point out I'm half Welsh! Good for you. I feel very strongly about

:53:51.:53:56.

that at the moment. It was a really significant interview because he

:53:57.:54:00.

said, "I've failed. I made mistakes but I've learned. Now I don't fail

:54:01.:54:04.

failure." You look at England football team and it is almost as if

:54:05.:54:09.

in their minds when they're playing they're thinking what if I misdirect

:54:10.:54:14.

the pass, am I going to be the one that's scapegoated. That narrows

:54:15.:54:18.

their creativity. They can't come up with adventurous football. It oozed

:54:19.:54:23.

out of them. What Wales have got and Coleman described it brilliantly in

:54:24.:54:26.

the post-match interview is they are looking at the possibilities rather

:54:27.:54:30.

than the potential down sides. They are not afraid of doing interesting

:54:31.:54:36.

things. Robson Karen u, can you imagine an England player doing that

:54:37.:54:39.

in the box? Maybe in the Premier League. Maybe in the Premier League,

:54:40.:54:42.

but not for the country, that's the thing. How do you get to a point in

:54:43.:54:46.

your mind where you are not afraid to fail? It is easy to say, isn't

:54:47.:54:51.

it? It is easy to say and there is a lot of evidence on this and

:54:52.:54:55.

interesting evidence. It is to do with the way you frame failure, how

:54:56.:54:59.

you think about it, do you see it as an indictment of who are, do you see

:55:00.:55:03.

it as a reason to give up, do you see it as something that's

:55:04.:55:06.

profoundly negative or a risk worth taking sth something that you could

:55:07.:55:11.

learn from? Something that would lead to fantastic possibilities.

:55:12.:55:15.

Just a redefinition of failure changes the interpretational

:55:16.:55:18.

process. OK. A really good example is Beckham. He failed in a really

:55:19.:55:25.

graphic way if you might rewining to 1998, you remember when he got sent

:55:26.:55:33.

off. I thought somewhat unfairly, but we've understood why it

:55:34.:55:37.

happened. The nexts season, he was vilified and turned into a dartboard

:55:38.:55:47.

and he was booed, he had his best season ever. He won the treble for

:55:48.:55:51.

Manchester United, he was Fifa player of the world, voted second

:55:52.:55:55.

and I asked him how did that happen? He said, "I didn't think of that

:55:56.:56:00.

failure as a reason to give up. I saw it as a great learning

:56:01.:56:03.

opportunity. You don't kick out at somebody. Think of our children,

:56:04.:56:10.

they don't like to ask questions in case they get it wrong. We're

:56:11.:56:14.

crippled by a fear of looking less good than we want to look and that

:56:15.:56:17.

stops us from growing and adapting and becoming the people we can

:56:18.:56:18.

become. Pm Let's talk to some Wash fans. How

:56:19.:56:31.

are you? Very good, thank you. You must still be on a high after Friday

:56:32.:56:35.

night? Yeah. It has been good. Definitely. We travelled over to

:56:36.:56:39.

legal and came back the same night, but I can't remember too much of the

:56:40.:56:44.

journey back to be honest! Let's introduce Thomas Edwards and Cassey

:56:45.:56:51.

Taylor. How are you? Good morning. I think Thomas and Cassey you booked a

:56:52.:56:55.

holiday to Nice which is where you are now, thinking Wales would never

:56:56.:56:58.

make it this far! Yeah, that's right. We booked it six

:56:59.:57:03.

months ago not thinking that Wales would be still playing in the

:57:04.:57:07.

tournament so now we've got to drive to Lyon on Wednesday afternoon and

:57:08.:57:10.

try and find some match tickets hopefully. That might be tough to

:57:11.:57:15.

get hold of a match ticket, even if you're in the area, you can unite

:57:16.:57:19.

with other Wales fans, can't you? We thought we couldn't be so close and

:57:20.:57:22.

not go up. That's our plan really. To get involved in the atmosphere.

:57:23.:57:27.

Gerald and Luke, how have Wales managed to get this far? I think it

:57:28.:57:31.

is about, probably about the system and our team spirit probably. They

:57:32.:57:35.

played together. They worked hard for each other and yeah, they've

:57:36.:57:39.

done really well. Thomas, what's your assessment of how they've got

:57:40.:57:44.

this far? I think it is the passion and the work ethic and like Luke

:57:45.:57:48.

said the team spirit of the players. I have not seen team spirit in any

:57:49.:57:51.

other team like that ever before. You look at other teams in the

:57:52.:57:54.

tournament, Portugal, Spain, Germany, I don't think anyone has

:57:55.:57:58.

got the same team spirit we had. I think that's what carried us this

:57:59.:58:05.

far. Case, what's your view? I think it is the fans. We were in the fan

:58:06.:58:10.

zone on Friday and everyone was so excited, I never saw anything like

:58:11.:58:16.

it. Wales won four out of five games and Portugal failed to win in 90

:58:17.:58:20.

minutes, what do you read into that in terms of Wednesday night? Well, I

:58:21.:58:27.

really fancy us. What we saw in the second half against Belgium was that

:58:28.:58:30.

the Belgium team, as good as they were, were playing as individuals

:58:31.:58:34.

and Portugal have a tendency to do the same. They are not as

:58:35.:58:37.

disciplined and I think that will play to our strengths really. I'm

:58:38.:58:42.

confident. OK, what about you Luke? Yeah, I feel the same. I feel Ramsay

:58:43.:58:47.

is a big loss and Ben Davis, but Johnny Williams can come in and he

:58:48.:58:53.

has done well and Connor is decent, if they played like they have

:58:54.:58:57.

throughout the tournament, they'll do well. Thank you very much for

:58:58.:59:02.

talking to us. Thomas and Cassey I hope you get tickets of the Matthew,

:59:03.:59:05.

what are you expecting? Rnlts I think it is 50/50. For me, more than

:59:06.:59:11.

anything else, this is a triumph of the team over the individual. It is

:59:12.:59:15.

like the Leicester store European Commission the players weren't the

:59:16.:59:19.

best in the world, but when you have that spirit, it is amazing what can

:59:20.:59:23.

be achieved. They have worked for each other and they've done runs for

:59:24.:59:27.

each other and you can see how this is creating the old cliche, the team

:59:28.:59:37.

is more than some of the parts. Rob e-mailed, "I see people making links

:59:38.:59:45.

to Welsh roots. I have a leak in my kitchen. I have a crush on Catherine

:59:46.:59:49.

Jenkins, surely this counts! ". Coming up, we'll be hearing

:59:50.:59:55.

from Nigel Farage who is giving a speech setting out what Ukip

:59:56.:59:57.

intends to do next after He is due to speak pretty soon

:59:58.:00:04.

actually. So we'll bring you some of that speech as soon as he begins

:00:05.:00:06.

talking. Let's get the latest

:00:07.:00:17.

weather update with Ben. In some parts there is fine and dry

:00:18.:00:25.

weather to come. The further north and west you are, we will see spells

:00:26.:00:28.

of rain at times. So let's take a look at detail and as I've mentioned

:00:29.:00:33.

to sum things up, the further south and east you are, things look dry.

:00:34.:00:37.

There will be sunshine in the sunshine and things will feel warm,

:00:38.:00:40.

but further north and west, yes, we will see some brispells, but -- dry

:00:41.:00:48.

spells. We have rain moving across into Scotland and parts of North

:00:49.:00:52.

Wales as we go on through the day. For the far north of Scotland, it is

:00:53.:00:55.

a mixture of sunshine and showers. To the south, a lot of dry weather,

:00:56.:00:58.

a fair amount of cloud, but some brightness. And it will feel humid

:00:59.:01:04.

with highs of 22 or 23 Celsius. This evening and tonight, cloudy

:01:05.:01:07.

conditions for most. Some outbreaks of rain, but it will clear away and

:01:08.:01:10.

the skies will start to clear by the end of the night. Cooler, fresher

:01:11.:01:15.

conditions pushing in across the north-west, a cooler fresher day

:01:16.:01:18.

tomorrow. Quite a breezy day. There will be a fair amount of sunshine

:01:19.:01:20.

and showers across Scotland. Some showers could be on the heavy side

:01:21.:01:24.

and temperatures ranging from 15 Celsius in the north to 21 Celsius

:01:25.:01:25.

dm the south. That's all for now. Hello, I'm Victoria Derbyshire -

:01:26.:01:31.

welcome to the programme. Let's go straight to Nigel Farage. I

:01:32.:01:41.

am aware that not everybody in this country is happy, a lot of young

:01:42.:01:45.

people happy mind up I scare stories and ivory angry and scared about the

:01:46.:01:51.

future. It is an irony that it is the youth of the country who appear

:01:52.:01:56.

to be worried, across the whole of the European Union it is the under

:01:57.:02:00.

30s that are protesting on the streets against undemocratic

:02:01.:02:04.

centralised control and, indeed, against the euro and virtually

:02:05.:02:07.

everything that emanates from Brussels. In time, I hope that some

:02:08.:02:13.

of these sharp divisions can be healed when people start to realise

:02:14.:02:18.

that actually, life outside the European Union is very exciting. And

:02:19.:02:23.

we have a much better, right future of being in charge of our own lives

:02:24.:02:28.

and the stock markets, despite everything George Osborne told us,

:02:29.:02:33.

have rallied strongly, the FTSE is about 14% higher bands in the

:02:34.:02:41.

February low and there is a great number of Commonwealth countries

:02:42.:02:44.

rushing forward in a bidding war to be the first people to sign a free

:02:45.:02:47.

trade deal with an independent United Kingdom. What the country

:02:48.:02:52.

needs is strongly Bishop, it needs direction, it needs not business as

:02:53.:03:00.

usual. I'm certain of one thing - that the United Kingdom will leave

:03:01.:03:04.

the European Union. We have won that. And in terms of Parliament and

:03:05.:03:10.

the courts, that is a great, historic victory. What I am certain

:03:11.:03:17.

of is what real is this government going to cut? And we need a new

:03:18.:03:20.

Prime Minister who puts down some pretty clear red lines that were not

:03:21.:03:24.

going to give him on issues like free movement and we need a Prime

:03:25.:03:29.

Minister who will not sell us out to what is known as the single market

:03:30.:03:34.

but effectively a big business protectionist cartel. We need a

:03:35.:03:39.

vision from the new leader, a vision that shows we will engage with the

:03:40.:03:43.

world and turn us into an enterprise economy. To do that and to achieve

:03:44.:03:50.

that, we need a team of negotiators that include figures from across the

:03:51.:03:52.

political spectrum which reflects that Brexit vote and, crucially, we

:03:53.:03:58.

need some business people who know not only how the world works but

:03:59.:04:03.

understand the importance of lobbying industry directly. We need

:04:04.:04:08.

to be lobbying the German car industry, the French wine producers,

:04:09.:04:14.

because next year, but France and Germany have general elections. It

:04:15.:04:18.

is pressure on Angela Merkel, one Francois Hollande, from within those

:04:19.:04:23.

countries, that is likely to get us the best deal. And we need to go

:04:24.:04:28.

global and there is no reason to wait for this at all. As soon as we

:04:29.:04:31.

get the new Prime Minister we need teams of negotiators. I am told we

:04:32.:04:36.

don't have the skill or the confidence or the expertise, within

:04:37.:04:40.

our own Civil Service, which I suppose is a price you pay when you

:04:41.:04:43.

give away the ability to run your own country. That is headhunt, get

:04:44.:04:49.

them in from Singapore and South Korea or Chile or Switzerland or any

:04:50.:04:52.

of these countries who have managed to achieve far more in terms of

:04:53.:04:56.

global trade deals than we have as part of the European Union. We are

:04:57.:05:03.

not in charge of our own future. I want us to grab this opportunity

:05:04.:05:08.

with both hands. One of the questions being asked is, what about

:05:09.:05:15.

Ukip? What is the future after this result? We have clearly established

:05:16.:05:20.

ourselves as a third political force in this country and this year we

:05:21.:05:25.

need to extend that collective representation to the Welsh Assembly

:05:26.:05:28.

and to the London Assembly. There is no doubt that without us, without

:05:29.:05:33.

the growth in Ukip, there would not have been a referendum and there was

:05:34.:05:38.

no doubt that when it came to the ground campaign in this referendum,

:05:39.:05:44.

it was the People's army of Ukip who were out there delivering leaflets,

:05:45.:05:47.

putting up the posters and doing all that work that needed desperately to

:05:48.:05:52.

be done. And I do believe myself that it is Ukip and the Ukip

:05:53.:05:57.

messages that inspired nonvoters to go out there and make a difference.

:05:58.:06:03.

Without Ukip, there is no way the leave vote would have got over the

:06:04.:06:08.

line. Ukip needs to be strong. We need to be strong and push to try to

:06:09.:06:12.

make sure that this country gets the best possible terms. And in

:06:13.:06:18.

electoral terms, while the party has built up a very loyal following of

:06:19.:06:23.

people, they want to go out and vote Ukip at every given opportunity and

:06:24.:06:28.

they see as has been the 1-party that is actually prepared to stand

:06:29.:06:33.

up for ordinary, decent people. I feel that the deeper the crisis in

:06:34.:06:38.

the Labour Party becomes, and there is no sign of that going away, and

:06:39.:06:43.

the further the Parliamentary Labour Party and the Labour leadership get

:06:44.:06:46.

away from their voters, I feel perhaps that is perhaps where our

:06:47.:06:52.

greatest potential lies. Ukip right now is in a very solid financial

:06:53.:06:57.

position, I do believe we need some reform of its management structures,

:06:58.:07:00.

there is further professionalism that needs to be done, but the party

:07:01.:07:06.

is in a pretty good place. Certainly compared to all the others. And if

:07:07.:07:12.

we do not get, if we do not get a satisfactory Brexit deal, that,

:07:13.:07:19.

allied to the woes of the Labour Party and that groundswell of

:07:20.:07:22.

support that is amongst Ukip loyalists, if we don't get a good

:07:23.:07:27.

Brexit deal that in 2020, watch this space. And the other subject of

:07:28.:07:34.

speculation has been, what am I going to do? Well, all I can say on

:07:35.:07:38.

this long journey is a huge thanks to everybody who has helped me, many

:07:39.:07:44.

are in this room, and it has been a very long journey. Not at every

:07:45.:07:50.

stage of the way an easy one. Although most of it, I have to say,

:07:51.:07:56.

has been tremendous fun. When I think back to when I first stood for

:07:57.:08:02.

Ukip, for anybody, in the East by-election, which took place in

:08:03.:08:06.

1994, and I managed to scrape past screaming Lord such by a massive 164

:08:07.:08:12.

votes, and to have gone from that to being part of a national campaign

:08:13.:08:19.

that attracted 17.5 million votes for the Brexit, that says to me that

:08:20.:08:24.

although it has been tough at times, it has certainly been worth it. I

:08:25.:08:28.

came into politics from business because I believe that this nation

:08:29.:08:33.

should be self-governing. I have never been and never wanted to be a

:08:34.:08:39.

career politician. My aim in being in politics was to get Britain out

:08:40.:08:43.

of the European Union, that is what we voted for in that referendum two

:08:44.:08:49.

weeks ago and that is why I now feel that I have done my bit but I could

:08:50.:08:56.

not possibly achieve more than we managed to get in that referendum

:08:57.:08:59.

and so I feel it is right that I should stand aside as either of

:09:00.:09:04.

Ukip. I will continue to support the party and support the new leader and

:09:05.:09:09.

a double what the negotiation process in Brussels like a hawk and

:09:10.:09:15.

perhaps comment in the European Parliament from time to time. I am

:09:16.:09:19.

also very keen to help the independence movements springing up

:09:20.:09:23.

in other parts of the European Union because I am certain of one thing-

:09:24.:09:27.

we have not seen the last country that wants to leave the European

:09:28.:09:33.

Union. It has been a huge chunk of my life doing this and it is not

:09:34.:09:37.

easy perhaps when you feel a degree of ownership of something to let it

:09:38.:09:44.

go. But it does come at a cost to me and perhaps to those around me.

:09:45.:09:49.

During the referendum campaign I said I want my country back. What I

:09:50.:09:54.

am saying today is I want my life back. And it begins right now. Thank

:09:55.:09:57.

you! APPLAUSE

:09:58.:10:07.

Nigel Farage, the former leader of Ukip, he has just said he has done

:10:08.:10:11.

his bit, here standing down as leader, it is right to stand aside,

:10:12.:10:15.

it sounded like it is effective from right now. And he said it is right

:10:16.:10:21.

for a new leader to take over. I will watch like hot, he says, as the

:10:22.:10:27.

UK gets involved in this Brexit Hoseasons and I will perhaps

:10:28.:10:31.

comment, he says, from time to time in the European Parliament. He is

:10:32.:10:34.

not leaving politics altogether, just as leader as -- of Ukip. He

:10:35.:10:40.

says the main aim was to get Britain out of the EU, which he says he has

:10:41.:10:45.

achieved and he also says if they don't get a satisfactory Brexit

:10:46.:10:49.

deal, in 2020 watch this space. Norman Smith is at Westminster.

:10:50.:10:56.

Nigel Farage wants his life back? He has stood down before? I think he

:10:57.:11:03.

means at this time, it would be a bit much to quit once, go back and

:11:04.:11:06.

then do that again. He seems to mean it. Because he believes they have

:11:07.:11:11.

achieved their long-term ambition, what Ukip was set up for, what he

:11:12.:11:16.

went into politics for, to get written out of the European Union.

:11:17.:11:22.

He argues that Ukip isn't much -- is in a much better position, they

:11:23.:11:27.

don't need to carry on, they are the third party in British politics and

:11:28.:11:32.

let us hear what he has to say... I will not be changing my mind again,

:11:33.:11:44.

I can promise you. You said you wanted a strong leader who could

:11:45.:11:48.

secure a Brexit deal and a new Prime Minister, which candidate to you

:11:49.:11:53.

feel is best for that? Is at Andrea Leadsom? I am not related to Alan

:11:54.:11:59.

Banks! I am not in a civil partnership with him! He has

:12:00.:12:04.

supported Ukip but many Eurosceptic causes and he is one of the great

:12:05.:12:07.

heroes of this movement. But his picks for himself and I think we

:12:08.:12:12.

have to have a Brexit Prime Minister. We have to have somebody

:12:13.:12:17.

who was bold and has vision, this is a big moment in the history of this

:12:18.:12:21.

country. There are three candidates in support of the Brexit campaign

:12:22.:12:25.

and I am not going to down any one of them by offering their support at

:12:26.:12:30.

this moment. But I wanted very much to be one of the three. This is not

:12:31.:12:35.

a moment for business as usual, this is a moment for radical leadership,

:12:36.:12:40.

for inspiration, and to take advantage of this unbelievable

:12:41.:12:48.

global opportunity before us. But when Bennett. Are you therefore

:12:49.:12:54.

going to lead logics? You are going to form a new party with Alan Banks

:12:55.:13:01.

or other Eurosceptics? I've do like this chap but I get bored with these

:13:02.:13:06.

questions. No, I have made it clear I am starting aside, I would see out

:13:07.:13:12.

my time in the European Parliament, I will go on cold reading that group

:13:13.:13:17.

and I will watch very carefully once Article 50 has been triggered, how

:13:18.:13:24.

those negotiations go. And I will continue to support Ukip, a party in

:13:25.:13:29.

a very good position, in a very sound position, one or two reforms

:13:30.:13:35.

need making, one or two steps up, but I will go on supporting Ukip and

:13:36.:13:38.

the leadership and let us see what happens. Honestly, if the government

:13:39.:13:47.

does not get a good deal, if it gets in over free movement, if it

:13:48.:13:51.

concedes over this dreadful single market, then I think Ukip's best

:13:52.:13:59.

days have yet to come. Notwithstanding what you said about

:14:00.:14:07.

candidates, do you see the potential for closer cooperation whenever that

:14:08.:14:12.

goes with the Conservative Party that is led by someone that you find

:14:13.:14:16.

acceptable overtime? Could we be moving in that direction? If there

:14:17.:14:22.

was to be a General Election this autumn, I do not think there will

:14:23.:14:26.

be, but if there was, my own view would be that Ukip should not be

:14:27.:14:33.

wasting resources and talent and energy I guess people who have the

:14:34.:14:37.

guts to stand up against their own party leaderships and fight for the

:14:38.:14:41.

Brexit. Longer term, depending on who becomes a go, we might see a

:14:42.:14:46.

different kind of politics and the less said the effects have been

:14:47.:14:50.

seismic, I fully expect within the next couple of years that he will

:14:51.:14:53.

see some different parties in British politics. You likely hood

:14:54.:14:57.

that a wing of the Labour Party and Lib Dems get together is required

:14:58.:15:02.

high. For all of you at Westminster, you think the last week has been

:15:03.:15:05.

George Lucas, I expect there is more to come. -- to modules. What sort of

:15:06.:15:14.

real do you envisage Ukip having within these negotiations? Do you

:15:15.:15:18.

have to be part of the team? And what did you make of Philip

:15:19.:15:23.

Hammond's few that will have to be some sort of concession free

:15:24.:15:26.

movement? For any access to the single market?

:15:27.:15:31.

I think it is desirable is a cross-party element to these

:15:32.:15:37.

negotiations. Because that reflects the vote. That reflects the

:15:38.:15:41.

cross-party nature of the Eurosceptic movement. But more

:15:42.:15:46.

important than that is that we use people who genuinely understand how

:15:47.:15:50.

Brussels works, and who have extensive networks and contacts.

:15:51.:15:54.

With the German car industry, you know, with French manufacturers, or

:15:55.:16:00.

wine producers... The idea we should approach these negotiations simply

:16:01.:16:05.

as an elected politicians from one party meeting in corridors in

:16:06.:16:08.

Brussels is the wrong approach. It needs more breadth, more

:16:09.:16:12.

imagination. An absolute priority is to bring in business people. But a

:16:13.:16:17.

desirability. And, again, a message to the country, to try and bring

:16:18.:16:21.

people together. To make people understand this is about more than

:16:22.:16:24.

the Conservative Party who happened to be in government, it is about our

:16:25.:16:28.

country, choosing a new course... Look, I have no idea whether they

:16:29.:16:33.

want ask me, or anybody else in Ukip to be a part of this. But we as a

:16:34.:16:36.

party actually have some good knowledge how Brussels works. And we

:16:37.:16:41.

have some pretty senior business figures amongst our supporters. As

:16:42.:16:47.

for what deal the government cuts, Jess, I understand already we are

:16:48.:16:50.

beginning to hear people saying that, actually, there will be

:16:51.:16:57.

backsliding. -- yes. 17.5 million people voted very clearly for us to

:16:58.:17:00.

be an independent nation that isn't part of the customs union called the

:17:01.:17:04.

single market. And without the free movement of people. I suspect...

:17:05.:17:10.

What we will do is try and keep the pressure on. But if they do give

:17:11.:17:16.

way, then I repeat the point, that as far as Ukip is concerned, for the

:17:17.:17:20.

2020 elections, you ain't seen nothing yet. ITV News, what will you

:17:21.:17:29.

do next? Would you like to be part of the team that negotiates Brexit?

:17:30.:17:36.

And, who do you think should be the next leader of Ukip, Douglas Castle

:17:37.:17:40.

might have a good argument. That is a terribly good idea. I like that.

:17:41.:17:45.

-- Douglas Carswell. CHUCKLES

:17:46.:17:51.

I repeat the point that come as you know, we have the biggest allegation

:17:52.:17:56.

of British MEPs in the European Parliament. We will necessarily be a

:17:57.:18:02.

part of this process, whether it is formally, or informally, because

:18:03.:18:05.

much of what is discussed will get debated and voted upon in the

:18:06.:18:09.

European Parliament. So we will do that. If they Brexit government

:18:10.:18:14.

wants to use Ukip foot Ukip because more, and it should think about

:18:15.:18:16.

Labour figures, as well, that will be all for the good -- or Ukip

:18:17.:18:23.

members. May the best man or best woman when, I say. -- win. An

:18:24.:18:32.

interesting thing has happened since the victory. A lot of the

:18:33.:18:36.

Conservative Party wanted Brexit have been trying to back away from

:18:37.:18:40.

you as fast as possible. And back away from your campaign. I just

:18:41.:18:46.

wondered how you felt about that. They say it is nothing to do with

:18:47.:18:49.

you, nothing to do with immigration, it was about a Carswellian

:18:50.:18:58.

sovereignty idea. Do you agree with that?

:18:59.:19:00.

CHUCKLES As I said, I'm not a career

:19:01.:19:04.

politician. That is how career politicians think and speak. They

:19:05.:19:09.

think about the tribe of their party before their conscience,

:19:10.:19:11.

constituents, or country. It is a great relief to sit here and say, I

:19:12.:19:18.

will step aside... So what will actually happen now is in future I

:19:19.:19:22.

will not be constrained when I answer questions like that. The real

:19:23.:19:25.

me will now come out. CHUCKLES

:19:26.:19:30.

They can, you know, make it up as much as they want. Look, I repeat

:19:31.:19:34.

the point, there would not have been a referendum without Ukip, there

:19:35.:19:37.

would not have been an effective ground game in the leave campaign

:19:38.:19:42.

without the Ukip People's Army. Unless we take on some of those

:19:43.:19:46.

issues that many in Westminster, or at smart dinner parties in Notting

:19:47.:19:49.

Hill find it a bit tricky, unless we take one of those we would not have

:19:50.:19:54.

all those nonvoters to turn out. And that is what made the difference and

:19:55.:20:04.

got us over the line. You still have at least two years of service as an

:20:05.:20:10.

MEP. Are you going to serve it out in full and take part in

:20:11.:20:14.

proceedings? And during the negotiations will you try and

:20:15.:20:19.

influence from within the parliament and the party? Yes, of course. There

:20:20.:20:24.

will be a strong Ukip voice in that parliament during these

:20:25.:20:27.

renegotiations. And if we see significant sliding, or weakness...

:20:28.:20:33.

Or frankly appeasement from the British government, we will

:20:34.:20:39.

certainly say so. Are we going to see out to mark the years? Well, I

:20:40.:20:43.

hope the next Prime Minister is somebody who intends to roll up

:20:44.:20:46.

their sleeves, and complete the job, well within two years, and then we

:20:47.:20:53.

will be like the turkeys who voted for Christmas. -- otherwise we will

:20:54.:21:00.

be like. Do you think the tone you took in the European Parliament last

:21:01.:21:03.

week was a kid negotiating tactic which will help us get the best deal

:21:04.:21:07.

for the UK? -- good negotiating tactic. I got up to speed after what

:21:08.:21:16.

was, without doubt, the worst event ever in the history of the European

:21:17.:21:22.

union project. I was so howled down, and shouted down, that twice Martin

:21:23.:21:27.

Schulz sprang to my defence. I've never seen this happen before with

:21:28.:21:31.

him. But it was quite extraordinary. It showed the fact that they are

:21:32.:21:36.

simply not prepared to listen. They will continue with their political

:21:37.:21:43.

projects, which is why it is doomed. In the face of many catcalls and a

:21:44.:21:46.

huge amount of abuse, they got just a tiny piece of my mind back. And,

:21:47.:21:53.

actually, how we should negotiate? Well, all I will say is that if we

:21:54.:22:00.

start to be weak, if we start to concede in these negotiations, we

:22:01.:22:04.

will get a rotten deal. We need a Prime Minister that recognises that,

:22:05.:22:07.

actually, we have got the trump cards, and we have got the trump

:22:08.:22:11.

cards because we buy a lot more from them than they do from us. The

:22:12.:22:17.

opportunity for Brexit actually comes before the general elections

:22:18.:22:23.

-- the German elections and the French elections. We need to stand

:22:24.:22:27.

up for ourselves. Some of these arguments, that we cannot get access

:22:28.:22:31.

to the single market unless we are members of that single market...

:22:32.:22:35.

Just looking at the figures yesterday, something like nearly 1.5

:22:36.:22:41.

euros trillion worth of goods were sold into the Eurozone last year by

:22:42.:22:44.

countries who don't even have a trade deal. Let's recognise the

:22:45.:22:47.

strength of our negotiating position. Andrew Sinclair, if we are

:22:48.:22:55.

now going to hear from the real you, can I ask you, what have you made of

:22:56.:22:58.

the various attempts to try to answer each year in the past, and

:22:59.:23:01.

will you now bury the hatchet with Douglas Carswell? I will bury the

:23:02.:23:09.

hatchet with anybody. Look... When you lead a political party, and I

:23:10.:23:13.

have been doing this for quite a while, you make decisions along the

:23:14.:23:16.

way not everybody is happy with. Your style will not suit everybody.

:23:17.:23:23.

I have no desire to do anything other than to fully support the aims

:23:24.:23:28.

of Ukip and the next leader. And as I work with the person making all of

:23:29.:23:33.

the decisions, that may involve falling out with people, as well.

:23:34.:23:37.

INAUDIBLE It may well be, get down to the

:23:38.:23:41.

bookies, but I would not put too much on it myself. Daily Mirror,

:23:42.:23:46.

what conversations have you had with either Andrea Leadsom or Aaron Banks

:23:47.:23:51.

about the Tory leadership? And are you putting yourself forward to be a

:23:52.:23:54.

member of the team negotiating Brexit in Brussels? I'm not putting

:23:55.:23:59.

myself forward. I did spend 20 years in business. I've spent a lot of

:24:00.:24:02.

time in Brussels. I may have something to give if they want it,

:24:03.:24:06.

if they don't, then that is fine. As for who I am speaking to... I speak

:24:07.:24:11.

to Aaron Banks regularly, but I repeat the point, I don't do

:24:12.:24:16.

everything he suggests. STUDIO: Ukip are also looking for a

:24:17.:24:24.

new leader this morning, alongside the Conservative Party, so here are

:24:25.:24:28.

some messages. This is what you are saying about this breaking news.

:24:29.:24:34.

Everything how UK politicians should be saying instead of infighting and

:24:35.:24:39.

pushing personal agenda, says one person. Paul says, how long is he

:24:40.:24:43.

resigning for this time? Audrey says Nigel Farage is shouted down for

:24:44.:24:50.

talking about the issues which are real men this country. Love him or

:24:51.:24:54.

hate him, he tackles subjects most people don't wish to engage with. --

:24:55.:25:03.

which are real in this country. Nigel Sears, don't go, Nigel, we

:25:04.:25:08.

need you! And another tweaked, this is a resignation speech, Carswell

:25:09.:25:19.

has ousted him. -- Nigel says. No love lost between them. Carswell

:25:20.:25:25.

Has just tweeted a smiley face, and that is all. The two are daggers

:25:26.:25:32.

drawn. There has been a rift between them for some time. Interesting that

:25:33.:25:38.

Nigel Farage said we are the turkeys who voted for Christmas. I wonder

:25:39.:25:43.

if, at the end of the day, he has concluded he cannot do anything more

:25:44.:25:46.

with Ukip. They've gone as far as they could go. They have the Brexit

:25:47.:25:51.

referendum they wanted. Where do they go now? What is the point of

:25:52.:25:56.

Ukip now? If there is backsliding over the negotiations he says he

:25:57.:26:01.

will look out. Ukip will still be a force, etc. But he has been at this

:26:02.:26:06.

for a long time. He may feel he has gone as far as he can go. But isn't

:26:07.:26:11.

it amazing, in the wake of this EU referendum, everything has changed?

:26:12.:26:17.

David Cameron, George Osborne, pretty much finished. Boris Johnson,

:26:18.:26:21.

finished. Michael Gove finished. Jeremy Corbyn clinging on. One of

:26:22.:26:28.

the key fixtures of our political landscape just seem to be

:26:29.:26:31.

disappearing. And all because of this huge force unleashed by the EU

:26:32.:26:36.

referendum. Nigel Farage said he would stay on as an MEP for two

:26:37.:26:41.

years, but I suspect this time he will walk. I don't think he will

:26:42.:26:45.

think I want to come back. I got the sense he feels he has gone now

:26:46.:26:49.

pretty much as far as he can go. What is interesting is he is such a

:26:50.:26:56.

divisive figure, frankly, you talk to people in the Leave campaign and

:26:57.:26:59.

they were desperate to keep him at arm 's length. Yet in that whole

:27:00.:27:04.

campaign he kept getting in the headlights. Think of that very

:27:05.:27:07.

controversial post of that picture of the EU migrants queueing. Think

:27:08.:27:12.

of his remarks about Cologne and sex attacks. He kept on dominating the

:27:13.:27:17.

headlines. Listening to him, he basically said the referendum was

:27:18.:27:21.

won by Ukip because they managed to get out those people who do not

:27:22.:27:24.

traditionally vote. He said it was Ukip who got people out who

:27:25.:27:28.

otherwise would not have turned out to this referendum. In other words,

:27:29.:27:32.

it was Ukip's victory, and he is now bailing out.

:27:33.:27:38.

Thank you. More reaction to come. As well as this. Who will take over the

:27:39.:27:41.

Conservative leadership, who is heading to number ten? We will find

:27:42.:27:46.

out who two senior Tories will be backing. And Ed Miliband has been

:27:47.:27:51.

investigating renter on companies for this programme and we will talk

:27:52.:27:55.

to him live in the programme and we will also get his reaction to Nigel

:27:56.:28:03.

Farage's resignation. -- rent-to-own companies.

:28:04.:28:14.

Nigel Farage has resigned as leader of Ukip. Speaking in London he said

:28:15.:28:20.

Ukip is in a strong position and does not need his leadership any

:28:21.:28:23.

more. He said there would not have been a referendum on Britain's

:28:24.:28:27.

ownership on the EU without Ukip. He said he had now achieved his goal. I

:28:28.:28:32.

have never been and I have never wanted to be a career politician. My

:28:33.:28:37.

aim in being in politics was to get Britain out of the European Union.

:28:38.:28:42.

That is what we voted for in that referendum two weeks ago. That is

:28:43.:28:48.

why I now feel I have done my bit. That I couldn't possibly achieve

:28:49.:28:53.

more than what we managed to get in that referendum. So I feel it is

:28:54.:28:57.

right I should now stand aside as leader of Ukip.

:28:58.:29:01.

George Osborne has pledged to slash the amount of tax businesses pay

:29:02.:29:05.

in order to encourage investment in the wake

:29:06.:29:07.

In a newspaper interview, the Chancellor said cutting

:29:08.:29:11.

corporation tax was one of his five priorities to show the UK

:29:12.:29:13.

He also pledged to maintain the northern powerhouse project despite

:29:14.:29:23.

the Brexit vote. Boris Johnson has accused

:29:24.:29:27.

the Government of failing to explain how the vote to leave the EU can be

:29:28.:29:30.

made to work in the UK's interests. The former leave campaign says

:29:31.:29:36.

hysteria is sweeping parts of the population who wanted to remain in

:29:37.:29:37.

the EU. He argues that they need more

:29:38.:29:38.

reassurance. The Iraqi government has declared

:29:39.:29:47.

three days of national mourning after a bomb in the capital of

:29:48.:29:52.

Baghdad wounded about 150 people and killed about 60. A lorry packed with

relationship, I can tell! In an exclusive report for this

programme the former Labour Leader Ed Miliband is calling

:32:23.:32:24.

for better regulation He wants to see a cap introduced

:32:25.:32:26.

on the amount of interest Rent-to-own companies

:32:27.:32:30.

allow shoppers to pay for items such as TVs,

:32:31.:32:35.

games consoles, fridges and washing machines in weekly instalments,

:32:36.:32:37.

spread over years with interest. But consumers can end up paying up

:32:38.:32:39.

to three times more for the product and we've discovered that some

:32:40.:32:43.

companies are selling these goods to vulnerable people with mental

health problems and learning difficulties which has resulted

in concerns they may not understand The Citizens Advice Bureau tells us

:32:48.:32:50.

it receives thousands of complaints a month about the sector

and the regulator must do more Ed Miliband has campaigned

against rent to own - Brighthouse is the largest

firm in the sector - and he thinks people should use

credit unions instead. Here's a short extract

:33:04.:33:05.

of his exclusive report As leader of the Labour Party

:33:06.:33:07.

and now as a backbench MP, I have talked about the need

for firms to do right by their BrightHouse have 300

stores across the country, One of them is in Doncaster,

:33:17.:33:23.

in my constituency. I am concerned that BrightHouse

:33:24.:33:27.

are taking advantage of people on benefits

:33:28.:33:30.

and working on low incomes. In the course of our investigation

:33:31.:33:35.

I have been really shocked to find that BrightHouse are selling

to people with mental health Paul, not his real name,

asked us to hide his identity. He has learning difficulties

and mental health problems. Do you want to tell me

:33:54.:33:56.

what you are owing to them and what goods you have got

:33:57.:34:01.

with them? How have you ended up with five

:34:02.:34:03.

items, do you think? BrightHouse denies exploiting

:34:04.:34:18.

consumers in vulnerable circumstances or selling items

:34:19.:34:29.

to people who clearly cannot afford them and says they have sufficient

:34:30.:34:43.

policies and procedures in place to prevent these

:34:44.:34:45.

practices from happening. The Financial Conduct Authority,

:34:46.:34:47.

the body that regulates the rent-to-own sector,

:34:48.:34:49.

told us: But I don't think that's clear enough and the guidelines

:34:50.:35:05.

need to be stricter. The weekly payments at BrightHouse

may seem cheap, but the total But add in compulsory 5-star

service, that includes delivery and installation at ?55,

:35:16.:35:27.

and Service Plus, repair or replacement of your item,

:35:28.:35:32.

that costs ?136, on top of that interest rates of 69.9% per year

:35:33.:35:37.

and payments spread over three years, you end up paying

:35:38.:35:41.

a grand total of ?1092. I wanted to speak to BrightHouse

:35:42.:35:45.

but they declined to be interviewed. So did the Consumer Credit Trade

Association and the Finance And Leasing Association,

the industry bodies There are those who make

the case that there is a gap in the market and Perfect Home,

:35:57.:36:02.

BrightHouse and others provide The fundamental question

:36:03.:36:04.

is whether or not we think these people should be able to opt

:36:05.:36:09.

into a contract where they pay more overall but they have the appliances

:36:10.:36:12.

tomorrow, or whether or not they shouldn't have these

:36:13.:36:17.

appliances at all. It is an injustice to tell

:36:18.:36:20.

people at the bottom that because they are poor they can't

:36:21.:36:22.

have things that in 2016 From what I have seen,

:36:23.:36:25.

too often rent-to-own companies are taking advantage of people

:36:26.:36:28.

who have nowhere else to go. The regulator needs to stop the most

:36:29.:36:31.

vulnerable in our society Rent-to-own companies need to stop

:36:32.:36:33.

selling goods to people I think there should be a cap

:36:34.:36:40.

on the total cost rent-to-own It has been done with

:36:41.:36:46.

the payday lenders like We wanted to speak to someone

:36:47.:36:49.

from BrightHouse on the programme today but they declined -

:36:50.:36:55.

instead they gave us "We note that this feature

:36:56.:36:57.

:36:58.:37:01.

misrepresents our business. BrightHouse serves those

lower-income families who are We can speak to Ed Miliband,

to Ryan Bourne, who is head of public policy at the Institute

of Economic Affairs, think tank. Welcome. What is wrong with the

shops providing this service to people who cannot afford to pay for

:37:48.:37:51.

things up front with cash or who do not qualify for a credit card?

:37:52.:37:56.

Because the costs are exorbitant. Often three times the price on the

:37:57.:38:00.

High Street, because they are selling without clear information to

:38:01.:38:04.

people about what they are buying, they are selling to people who

:38:05.:38:08.

cannot afford to buy and they are only together all sorts of things,

:38:09.:38:11.

like 5-star service, which you have no option but to pay for, so there

:38:12.:38:16.

is a host of things wrong with this sector. In the end, it isn't a good

:38:17.:38:23.

deal for my constituents and from my experience, I became an avowed

:38:24.:38:28.

critic as BrightHouse say I am. They say they carry out extensive

:38:29.:38:33.

affordability assessments and the customer knows what they will end up

:38:34.:38:40.

paying? I do not think that is right, we heard in the longer

:38:41.:38:42.

version of the film on the website, Zoe from BrightHouse, she said I do

:38:43.:38:50.

not feel proper affordability checks are being done, I felt I was selling

:38:51.:38:54.

to people who cannot really afford to pay and we talked again to people

:38:55.:38:57.

in the film who did not really look at all of the finances and you have

:38:58.:39:02.

had responses already to the film of people saying, I have got into

:39:03.:39:06.

terrible trouble. The response from somebody with bipolar disorder who

:39:07.:39:11.

is paying ?68 every week to the rent-to-own sector, which has been

:39:12.:39:16.

ignored for too long. The regulator needs to look at these practices and

:39:17.:39:20.

the rules that govern that sector. Is Ed Miliband right? To be fair,

:39:21.:39:27.

his BT was conflating two different issues, selling to people who have

:39:28.:39:31.

mental health issues, that should be governed by regulation and it is, as

:39:32.:39:35.

the NCA knowledge. But the other thing is, he seems to be saying,

:39:36.:39:42.

because these products are expensive he needs some price cap and people

:39:43.:39:46.

will not have to pay so much. The problem with these price controls

:39:47.:39:49.

and I know he has advocated these in the past for the mental and energy

:39:50.:39:54.

sectors, if you constrain the amount of profits that companies can make,

:39:55.:39:59.

constrain pricing, they can provide less of it in the first place. It is

:40:00.:40:03.

all very well saying some people pay lots of money for a washing machine,

:40:04.:40:08.

but if the alternative is to go to an expensive launderette on a weekly

:40:09.:40:11.

basis, then you can see why some people choose to make this decision

:40:12.:40:14.

even though it may be expensive overall. There are do need to be

:40:15.:40:21.

alternatives and our social enterprises selling at a fraction of

:40:22.:40:24.

the price and some of the rent-to-own sector but I think the

:40:25.:40:27.

customer needs protection. Like the payday lending sector, if years ago

:40:28.:40:33.

was a real scandal and there are still problems there. The fact that

:40:34.:40:37.

a cap has been applied as, according to Citizens Advice, reduced by 50%

:40:38.:40:42.

the number of people coming to them saying they have problems with

:40:43.:40:46.

payday lenders. I am not saying a price cap is a total panacea and it

:40:47.:40:51.

solves a problem but I just do not think that interest rates of 70%

:40:52.:40:58.

seem fair or right and I think the regulatory bills need to act. Other

:40:59.:41:03.

countries have caps on payday loans have many more people taking loans

:41:04.:41:06.

from very undesirable people. And if you fail to be you will get your

:41:07.:41:11.

kneecaps knocked out. We need to be careful about the statistics on that

:41:12.:41:13.

because the evidence from other countries is pretty clear. A lot of

:41:14.:41:18.

these companies are actually taking quite a risk when they sell those

:41:19.:41:21.

products, I had a look at the academic evidence on this and the

:41:22.:41:25.

skipping rope for payments on these type of purchases is about double

:41:26.:41:32.

the normal retail rate and the payments are uncertain, lots of

:41:33.:41:37.

people fail to pay on time. When you take into consideration that risk,

:41:38.:41:42.

there must be some sort of pay off. I'm not pretending these pundits are

:41:43.:41:45.

right for everybody but this idea that you can crudely cap the costs

:41:46.:41:48.

is a very naive way of dealing with this problem. Part of the reason

:41:49.:41:53.

people have trouble paying this bag is because they are selling to

:41:54.:41:56.

people who cannot afford it. It is worth pausing on this issue of

:41:57.:42:01.

disability because thanks to your programme, we discovered in the

:42:02.:42:05.

course of the investigation about people who are in the most

:42:06.:42:07.

honourable circumstances being sold to. And the FCA needs to look at

:42:08.:42:15.

practices, whether the countries are following the advice of the

:42:16.:42:17.

regulator but those guidelines also need tightening up. If they believe

:42:18.:42:22.

the customer is unable to understand the nature of the agreement the firm

:42:23.:42:24.

needs to make an assessment but whether it is appropriate to lend.

:42:25.:42:29.

You say that is not clear enough, that is clear? We have waded through

:42:30.:42:35.

the detailed guidance and I personally think Cabinet Secretary

:42:36.:42:38.

to me to be investigated for the way they sell to people with

:42:39.:42:41.

vulnerabilities but I think it might be necessary for the FCA to tighten

:42:42.:42:46.

up guidance further. I can read some comments from people watching. This

:42:47.:42:51.

e-mail, thank you for the peace presented by Ed Miliband, hopefully

:42:52.:42:55.

it will go some way to ending the expedition of the weaker and more

:42:56.:42:59.

vulnerable people amongst us. Louise says, I have said from a long time

:43:00.:43:03.

that rent-to-own companies should have something in place to protect

:43:04.:43:06.

the most vulnerable, especially those with mental health conditions.

:43:07.:43:10.

Mark Pfizer discussed in the amount of interest they charge. If the

:43:11.:43:15.

government help the poorest people, perhaps by providing government

:43:16.:43:18.

backed loans, it would do more to help the people that it is

:43:19.:43:24.

undermining. Jason, great to see investigating rent-to-own companies

:43:25.:43:26.

that are clearly taking advantage of some. David says I used to use it

:43:27.:43:31.

rent-to-own company and the pressure you into adding further goods and

:43:32.:43:35.

services with no thought for what you can afford. And Tony just

:43:36.:43:40.

watched a segment on BrightHouse, he did a really good job, new career?

:43:41.:43:45.

Speaking of new careers, Nigel Farage has stepped down of his party

:43:46.:43:48.

in the last 20 minutes or so. Any reaction? It was classic Nigel

:43:49.:43:55.

Farage. He says he was not a career politician and he stood for

:43:56.:44:00.

Parliament. I do not like the legacy that Nigel Farage leaves because I

:44:01.:44:06.

think it is a legacy, as we saw in the referendum campaign, of Stirling

:44:07.:44:11.

division, I thought the poster about breaking point was disgusting.

:44:12.:44:14.

Respect the decision that has been taken in this decision -- referendum

:44:15.:44:18.

but I am not sorry to see him leaving the political scene. He said

:44:19.:44:22.

the deeper the crisis in the Labour Party becomes, that is where Ukip's

:44:23.:44:27.

potential lies. That must be really alarming? He exposed the fact that

:44:28.:44:32.

he was willing to go in with the Tories, we always said that Ukip was

:44:33.:44:36.

a right-wing party. But it is attracting ex-Labour party voters?

:44:37.:44:41.

Better see what happens in the General Election. I think it is

:44:42.:44:45.

important for us as a party and for the people on the remain silent the

:44:46.:44:48.

argument to be clear that we accept this result and we will negotiate in

:44:49.:44:53.

good faith for a future outside the European Union. I do not want this

:44:54.:45:02.

referendum. There were deeper issues even than those around immigration

:45:03.:45:04.

that have been exposed by it. But it is important that we respect the

:45:05.:45:08.

result and I think it is important that we are clear about that. I

:45:09.:45:12.

sympathise with the people who have gone onto the streets and petitions

:45:13.:45:16.

around the referendum but I say to them, imagine if it was 22-48 to

:45:17.:45:22.

remain and we had believe people on the streets, with say, we have had

:45:23.:45:27.

this. You do not agree with Tony Blair who said let us keep the

:45:28.:45:30.

options open? I have a slightly different view, it is important we

:45:31.:45:36.

show that we respect the result. Last week you call for Jeremy Corbyn

:45:37.:45:39.

to stand down along with other Labour MPs. Despite that he is still

:45:40.:45:43.

there. Are you resigned to him saying?

:45:44.:45:49.

Lets see what happens. People keep saying that but he is the leader. I

:45:50.:45:59.

felt we have a system where you are elected by the supporters. Some of

:46:00.:46:04.

the smoke signals in the last couple of days have suggested that talks of

:46:05.:46:10.

negotiations have happened... A mediation with unions in the middle?

:46:11.:46:15.

I'm not sure who the mediators would be. Unenviable job. Is that feasible

:46:16.:46:21.

to you? Is that realistic? It would be much better if there was a way

:46:22.:46:26.

Jeremy could transition out of his role, and we could have new

:46:27.:46:32.

leadership. I think it would be much better than the party engaging in

:46:33.:46:36.

some kind of civil war. Let's see where we get to. Let me dig

:46:37.:46:42.

deeper... You mean after the Chilcott enquiry this week? Might

:46:43.:46:48.

there be a way for him to go after he has criticised Tony Blair, or

:46:49.:46:53.

called for him to be tried in... I think Jeremy has changed. In some

:46:54.:46:59.

respects in a positive way on our stances. I understand why he wants

:47:00.:47:04.

the legacy to be carried forward. The question to the party, the

:47:05.:47:08.

question I wanted answered last week is who can take us forward in a

:47:09.:47:12.

united way against a new Tory leader into the general elections. We don't

:47:13.:47:18.

know when it will be. I think that requires new leadership, as I said

:47:19.:47:22.

last week. Do you regret changing the rules, meaning people could sign

:47:23.:47:27.

up for ?3? I don't. I think a political party needs as many people

:47:28.:47:31.

as possible supporting it. Why don't you respect the mandate of those

:47:32.:47:35.

people who voted? Because it has always been the case, even when we

:47:36.:47:39.

introduced new rules, you are elected by a party but you need to

:47:40.:47:43.

command the confidence of the Parliamentary party. If one fifth of

:47:44.:47:46.

the party do not support you and trigger a new election there will be

:47:47.:47:50.

on the ballot. 75% expressed no confidence in Jeremy Corbyn. Does he

:47:51.:47:56.

need 51 MPs to put him on a ballot paper if there is a leadership

:47:57.:48:00.

contest? I don't know. That is a matter to be sorted out by the

:48:01.:48:05.

National executive. It is written down in the Labour Party rule

:48:06.:48:09.

somewhere? As I said, a matter for the national executive. Let me ask

:48:10.:48:14.

you about Theresa May, the Home Secretary, who wants to be the next

:48:15.:48:19.

Prime Minister. She said that for her the status of millions of EU

:48:20.:48:22.

citizens already here in Britain, and British citizens living in EU

:48:23.:48:26.

countries, it will be part of the Brexit negotiations. What do you

:48:27.:48:31.

think of that? I don't agree with her. I don't agree with her on

:48:32.:48:34.

principle because I think people came here with legitimate

:48:35.:48:37.

expectations they would be allowed to work here. You have British

:48:38.:48:41.

citizens living abroad. I don't agree with her in principle, but

:48:42.:48:45.

think about the work ability of this. Are we really saying we will

:48:46.:48:51.

start deporting people from EU countries, and repatriating people

:48:52.:48:53.

who were living and working in other EU countries? If it isn't workable

:48:54.:48:57.

and it isn't right in principle how can it be a negotiating chip, a

:48:58.:49:01.

bargaining chip, in these negotiations? I think she's wrong. I

:49:02.:49:07.

think she should reverse her position. It is so unfair to those

:49:08.:49:11.

people who are working throughout our country and public services and

:49:12.:49:15.

elsewhere. What message are we sending to them about their role in

:49:16.:49:20.

our country? What message do you think? A terrible message that they

:49:21.:49:24.

are somehow not welcome many more. And we see these reprehensible

:49:25.:49:28.

racist attacks in our country, which I think I'm appalled so many people.

:49:29.:49:31.

But we need to send a clear message to them that they are welcome. That

:49:32.:49:35.

we have rules in place. And that we will respect those rules. Why do you

:49:36.:49:40.

think Britain voted to leave? Deep reasons. It goes much deeper than

:49:41.:49:46.

racism. Fundamentally a lot of people, including my constituency,

:49:47.:49:50.

feel failed by politics, failed by our economy, it was not working for

:49:51.:49:55.

them. A project fear campaign that said, think about how much you have

:49:56.:50:00.

Toulouse from voting out, they did not feel they had much to lose,

:50:01.:50:05.

because they felt happy with the way -- because they felt unhappy with

:50:06.:50:08.

the way the country had been treating them. -- you have to lose.

:50:09.:50:14.

We understand people feel disenfranchised socially and

:50:15.:50:18.

economically. And we have to sort out the immigration issue. But there

:50:19.:50:21.

are deeper problems round housing, jobs, wages, things people see in

:50:22.:50:25.

their own lives. Thank you for coming on the programme. If you want

:50:26.:50:31.

all those customers who find This morning to map a senior

Conservatives exclusively declare this programme who they are

:50:55.:50:57.

supporting in the race to become the next leader of the Tory party. Let's

:50:58.:51:04.

talk now to Liz Truss, the Environment Secretary, and was

:51:05.:51:07.

supporting Boris Johnson. And Baroness Warsi, he is the former

:51:08.:51:12.

party chairman. Thank you. Baroness Warsi, who will you be supporting?

:51:13.:51:22.

Theresa May. Why? Because I think we have a number of years ahead of us

:51:23.:51:26.

which will be serious and difficult for the country. We need a Prime

:51:27.:51:30.

Minister who is going to be a substantial figure, somebody with

:51:31.:51:33.

lots of experience, and a serious politician for serious times. Liz

:51:34.:51:38.

Truss, who are you supporting? Theresa May. Why? We are in a

:51:39.:51:46.

difficult situation as a country. The British people have spoken. I am

:51:47.:51:49.

clear we must listen to people. Brexit must be Brexit. What we now

:51:50.:51:56.

need is a leader to have the seriousness and the stability to get

:51:57.:51:59.

the deal done, but also make sure that our country does well both

:52:00.:52:02.

economically and socially in the future. We will delve a little bit

:52:03.:52:07.

deeper in a second. This support will Theresa May means that she has

:52:08.:52:11.

the backing of well over 100 Conservative MPs pushing her way

:52:12.:52:15.

ahead of other candidates. She insists she won the contest, not a

:52:16.:52:20.

coronation. I'm also joined by John Redwood who was supporting Andrea

:52:21.:52:23.

Leadsom and Eddie Bazeley who is supporting Michael Gove. -- Ed

:52:24.:52:33.

Vaizey. How on earth do you trust Michael Gove? I have worked with him

:52:34.:52:37.

for many years. He has been at the centre of this government for many

:52:38.:52:42.

years. He has been one of the people who has moved the Conservative Party

:52:43.:52:46.

into centre ground. You have heard what he said in his speech when he

:52:47.:52:50.

announced his leadership. It was a wide-ranging speech covering lots of

:52:51.:52:52.

issues. This is not just about Brexit. We have to talk about what

:52:53.:52:58.

future we want our country and a lot of issues. What ever he says, and

:52:59.:53:02.

whatever you say as his friend for decades, Boris Johnson was also

:53:03.:53:06.

apparently his friend. He will forever be seen as a pretty

:53:07.:53:10.

shameless betrayal of friends. He made the right choice. It would have

:53:11.:53:14.

been a betrayal had he swallowed it all up. Simply put Boris Johnson

:53:15.:53:17.

forward as the candidate for Prime Minister. Boris Johnson wasn't under

:53:18.:53:23.

anybody's orders to stand down. He could have stood. He could have had

:53:24.:53:27.

his contest and put himself forward. What you think of his former

:53:28.:53:30.

campaign manager saying Michael Gove is a gossip fond of a drink and

:53:31.:53:35.

would be a security risk? -- what do you think. He has worked incredibly

:53:36.:53:42.

hard and education. What about this? It does not ring true. You cannot

:53:43.:53:47.

sit at centre of government and then be criticised like that. There is

:53:48.:53:51.

much anger in Brussels at the Brexit vote. Surely need is there would be

:53:52.:53:56.

much more inclined to give a remain, a Conservative Prime Minister, who

:53:57.:54:00.

voted for remain, a good deal rather than somebody who has led Britain

:54:01.:54:06.

out of the UK like somebody you are supporting, Andrea Leadsom? We saw

:54:07.:54:09.

what happened when David Cameron tried to do his best. He got nothing

:54:10.:54:14.

from them. Should they be hostile to her? She is the most experienced of

:54:15.:54:20.

the five candidates when it comes to understanding Brussels. She chaired

:54:21.:54:23.

the important study in the last parliament. All of the details about

:54:24.:54:26.

where our relationship does not work. She is up to speed on the

:54:27.:54:31.

detail. Experienced businesswoman and minister. She would be a tough

:54:32.:54:34.

and experienced negotiator for Britain. I have served in 21

:54:35.:54:42.

positions. I always found that because they felt I did not want to

:54:43.:54:48.

deal and much of what they agreed on was disagreeable, it was much more

:54:49.:54:51.

important to get the UK's Bottom Line in that position than if you

:54:52.:54:55.

were a collaborator. Did you say she was much more experienced? One

:54:56.:55:00.

European matters. She has been a middle ranking minister. She is an

:55:01.:55:03.

important minister in the energy Department. I was clearer what I

:55:04.:55:08.

said. On the European issues she has studied them all and all of the

:55:09.:55:10.

other ministers in the competition haven't. But it is much more than

:55:11.:55:14.

Brexit when you want to be Prime Minister. Mr Blair and Mr Cameron

:55:15.:55:18.

had no ministerial experience and they became Prime Minister 's.

:55:19.:55:25.

Andrea Leadsom has been a minister, she understands the white always,

:55:26.:55:28.

but crucially she understands how Brussels works and what all of the

:55:29.:55:33.

laws are we have to deal with. -- Prime Minister. She is keen on

:55:34.:55:36.

getting our borders back, getting our money back, cutting VAT on fuel,

:55:37.:55:40.

all of the things we promised in the campaign in a way people can trust.

:55:41.:55:45.

Why is the hesitation about publishing her taxes? They visit,

:55:46.:55:48.

she intends to do so. If she ends up being in the final two? Yes, and

:55:49.:55:53.

what is wrong with that? All MDs don't have to publish them. You know

:55:54.:56:02.

what we earn. -- MPs. She has the backing of the Ukip donor Aaron

:56:03.:56:07.

Banks. Nigel Farage has resigned. Would she want Nigel Farage in her

:56:08.:56:11.

Brexit negotiating team? She will form the best possible team for

:56:12.:56:15.

Britain once she becomes Prime Minister, assuming she wins. I am

:56:16.:56:18.

not going to advise her on that kind of thing. I think it is a red

:56:19.:56:23.

herring by the BBC. There lots of really decent people, 70 million

:56:24.:56:27.

people, who voted for Brexit. Bring us together don't keep to find

:56:28.:56:32.

divisions. There is a huge amount of talent on the Brexit side of the

:56:33.:56:35.

argument and we need to use that talent to get a really good deal for

:56:36.:56:38.

the UK. One of the reasons this country voted to leave the EU is

:56:39.:56:43.

they felt net migration wasn't under control. Theresa May has presided

:56:44.:56:46.

over that. Surely that is a problem for her? People were very clear in

:56:47.:56:52.

the referendum that they wanted to leave. But it is a problem that

:56:53.:56:56.

reason my presided over net migration levels. I completely agree

:56:57.:57:00.

that freedom of movement was one of the major reasons people voted to

:57:01.:57:04.

leave. And you are backing her? That is why Theresa May is committed to

:57:05.:57:17.

this. This must be negotiated as the key part of our Brexit. Will she

:57:18.:57:21.

moved quickly to protect us now? Everybody here and now is welcome

:57:22.:57:24.

but we need immediate protection so it doesn't become a problem. What

:57:25.:57:28.

she will do is work of the negotiating position and then get on

:57:29.:57:31.

with leaving the EU. That is what the British people have voted for. I

:57:32.:57:43.

am feeling outnumbered. Michael Gove has made it clear that EU citizens

:57:44.:57:48.

are welcome here. People who are living here are welcome to stay,

:57:49.:57:51.

let's make that clear. What is important is that we are not

:57:52.:57:57.

electing a leader on position, we are electing somebody who has to go

:57:58.:58:00.

straight into the negotiations. It is important we have somebody who is

:58:01.:58:05.

serious, credible, who has had years... Why does she not guarantee

:58:06.:58:10.

the status of EU citizens living in the UK now? She is for the

:58:11.:58:12.

foreseeable future whilst we are still members of the EU. But we

:58:13.:58:16.

cannot guarantee that long-term position until those negotiations

:58:17.:58:21.

take place. It would be responsible... They need

:58:22.:58:26.

protecting... You can carry on talking, but we must go. Thank you

:58:27.:58:28.

all of you.
