:00:08. > :00:15.Hello, it's Monday, it's 9am, we're in Westiminster,

:00:16. > :00:23.Where else would we be on the Monday after that election. We are on the

:00:24. > :00:26.rooftop, why not, overlooking the Houses of Parliament, as Theresa May

:00:27. > :00:30.insists she can stay on in Downing Street. I am pleased that people

:00:31. > :00:34.from across the party have agreed to serve in my cabinet and we are going

:00:35. > :00:40.to be getting on with the job of government. But talk of possible

:00:41. > :00:44.leadership challenges continues. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson

:00:45. > :00:50.however says he is backing the Prime Minister. Jeremy Corbyn did not win

:00:51. > :00:54.this election. It's absolutely right that she should go ahead, form a

:00:55. > :01:04.government, and deliver on the priorities of the pupils to -- of

:01:05. > :01:06.the people. Labour say they are ready for government.

:01:07. > :01:08.Meanwhile, Labour says they're ready for Government.

:01:09. > :01:10.Throughout the morning, we'll be joined by politicians

:01:11. > :01:13.And we're joined by an audience of voters.

:01:14. > :01:17.I am Hermione, I voted Liberal Democrat and I definitely do not

:01:18. > :01:23.want another general election. I voted for Labour and I think the

:01:24. > :01:30.parties need to come together. I voted Conservative, I am looking for

:01:31. > :01:35.us to move on. Wherever you are in the country, do let us know what you

:01:36. > :01:39.want to happen next. Rob has already tweeted me to say, I just want some

:01:40. > :01:42.peace and quiet! Whatever it is you want next, do let me know. You can

:01:43. > :02:04.e-mail, send me a message, or text. Hello, good morning. We are on top

:02:05. > :02:08.of a roof at Westminster. And it is a cloudy morning, an overcast

:02:09. > :02:11.morning, and it is the morning that Theresa May, another morning where

:02:12. > :02:15.Theresa May has to fight for her political life. She is going to meet

:02:16. > :02:17.her backbench Conservative MPs later and set out her case. In Downing

:02:18. > :02:20.Street. The Prime Minister will also chair

:02:21. > :02:22.a meeting of her newly Michael Gove, one of the driving

:02:23. > :02:25.forces behind Brexit, Mrs May is also still

:02:26. > :02:29.trying to secure a deal with the Democratic Unionists

:02:30. > :02:31.to ensure they'll back Our Political Correspondent

:02:32. > :02:40.Tom Bateman reports. Back at the heart of Government -

:02:41. > :02:43.Michael Gove's last regular appearances on this street

:02:44. > :02:46.were before to May became PM. She sacked her old opponent

:02:47. > :02:48.after the bruising EU He will now sit

:02:49. > :02:56.alongside Boris Johnson. The two men spectacularly

:02:57. > :02:58.fell out over the Tory The Foreign Secretary has denied

:02:59. > :03:02.having his eye on the top job again, calling for MPs to rally around Mrs

:03:03. > :03:07.May. Jeremy Corbyn did not

:03:08. > :03:12.win this election. It's absolutely right

:03:13. > :03:15.that she should go ahead, form a government and deliver

:03:16. > :03:20.on the priorities of the people. I'm going to be backing her,

:03:21. > :03:22.and absolutely everybody I'm talking to is going to be

:03:23. > :03:25.backing her as well. Mrs May's reshuffle sees

:03:26. > :03:27.Damian Green, an old friend of the Prime Minister,

:03:28. > :03:34.become first Secretary of State. Former Justice Secretary Liz

:03:35. > :03:42.Truss has been demoted, Other key figures staying where they

:03:43. > :03:52.are are Jeremy Hunt and Liam Fox. Mrs May will hope the reshuffle,

:03:53. > :03:58.most notable for its lack of changes, will help her

:03:59. > :04:00.reach out to Tory MPs. She said last night she intends

:04:01. > :04:03.to stay in her job. I said during the election

:04:04. > :04:05.campaign that if re-elected, What I am doing now is actually

:04:06. > :04:11.getting on with the immediate job. I think that is what is important

:04:12. > :04:14.and what the public would expect. They want to see

:04:15. > :04:16.Government providing that But life without a majority

:04:17. > :04:19.the House of Commons The PM may have to wave goodbye

:04:20. > :04:23.to some of her policy plans. Today, she will meet

:04:24. > :04:25.with her own backbenchers, many of whom will be

:04:26. > :04:27.looking for reassurances. She now faces the challenge

:04:28. > :04:46.of starting Brexit talks Norman Smith is here. Where are we

:04:47. > :04:51.this Monday morning? I think kind of the nearest analogy I can give is if

:04:52. > :04:55.you imagine getting a jigsaw, throwing it up in the air and land

:04:56. > :04:59.on the floor and nobody knows how to put the pieces back together.

:05:00. > :05:03.Basically, everything has changed. Mrs May is still in Downing Street,

:05:04. > :05:07.but what we saw over the weekend was the Cabinet seizing power. They are

:05:08. > :05:11.running the show, telling Mrs May how she will conduct herself and

:05:12. > :05:14.presenters of, how she needs to reach out of the party. Even talking

:05:15. > :05:23.about shaping the sort of policies she is going to pursue. And in terms

:05:24. > :05:33.of the manifesto are going to have to be jumped. The DUP, yes, it is

:05:34. > :05:35.probably going to be OK to get a deal on a ghostly basis, but that is

:05:36. > :05:40.perhaps the worst sort of arrangement for Mrs May. If you have

:05:41. > :05:44.a day by day deal, you need a Prime Minister who is a bit of a wheeler

:05:45. > :05:49.dealer, but arm round people's back and get them on board, come on,

:05:50. > :05:52.you're going to back us on this. Not the kind of politician that Theresa

:05:53. > :05:56.May is. On top of that, the battle lines are being drawn again over

:05:57. > :06:01.Brexit. It is where it clear we are heading for the Battle of Brexit.

:06:02. > :06:06.Round two, with all of the old Remainers thinking, right, now is

:06:07. > :06:10.our moment to pick away at some of the policies Mrs May was suggesting

:06:11. > :06:14.an Brexit, such as for example, maybe we will have no guilt. They

:06:15. > :06:19.don't want that. Maybe we could be in the Single Market and have a

:06:20. > :06:23.Norway option. For those who thought Brexit was signed, sealed and

:06:24. > :06:32.delivered, I'm afraid that whole row looks like starting again, as Mrs

:06:33. > :06:39.May Fozz opponents -- Mrs May's opponents use this moment to aim for

:06:40. > :06:40.a closer associate members of the EU, sort of half in, half out point

:06:41. > :06:44.thank you. Here's Joanna with a summary

:06:45. > :06:48.of the day's news. Exit polls following the first

:06:49. > :06:52.round of France's parliamentary election suggest President Macron's

:06:53. > :06:55.new centrist party is on course for a landslide victory.

:06:56. > :06:57.Projections show La Republique en Marche and its MoDem ally look set

:06:58. > :07:01.to win up to 445 of the 577 seats The party was only set up one year

:07:02. > :07:19.ago. Detectives investigating the London

:07:20. > :07:25.Bridge attack have made a further arrest in east London.

:07:26. > :07:29.in Barking on suspicion of terrorism offences shortly before

:07:30. > :07:32.Both the White House and Downing Street have dismissed

:07:33. > :07:35.a report that Donald Trump wants to delay his proposed state visit

:07:36. > :07:37.to the UK until he has the support of the British public.

:07:38. > :07:39.An online petition was signed by nearly two million

:07:40. > :07:41.people who wanted to block the American President's

:07:42. > :07:45.The opposition was inflamed by Mr Trump's criticism of London

:07:46. > :07:54.mayor Sadiq Khan's response to the London Bridge terror attack.

:07:55. > :07:59.A new poll suggests many children are confused about where their food

:08:00. > :08:04.comes from. One third of 5-7 year-old survey by the British

:08:05. > :08:09.nutrition foundation thought cheesecake came from a plant, not an

:08:10. > :08:13.animal. Nearly a quarter thought prawns come from plants, and a fifth

:08:14. > :08:17.of those questioned thought chips were also from animals.

:08:18. > :08:19.That's a summary of the latest BBC News.

:08:20. > :08:21.Now the sport, with Katherine Downes.

:08:22. > :08:30.Thanks, Joanne, such a busy weekend of sport. Chris Coleman thinks they

:08:31. > :08:33.need to win all four of their remaining World Cup qualifiers if

:08:34. > :08:38.they are to reach next year's finals. A penalty for Aaron Ramsey

:08:39. > :08:43.gave them the lead. But the home side levelled, leaving Wales four

:08:44. > :08:49.points behind. The Republic of Ireland drew with Austria. We were

:08:50. > :08:52.looking to win it in the last ten minutes. Once they equalised, you

:08:53. > :08:57.know, they have to and puffed, we had two or three breakaways there.

:08:58. > :09:02.It could have been different. Overall, good game, tough game, two

:09:03. > :09:07.good teams. For us one point is a good point. The England manager

:09:08. > :09:13.Gareth Southgate says it is up to clubs to nurture young talent.

:09:14. > :09:19.England National Football team have won a World Cup. Everton's Manik

:09:20. > :09:24.Calvert living with the goal. Goalkeeper Freddie Woodman making an

:09:25. > :09:28.amazing save to make sure that England lifted the trophy.

:09:29. > :09:32.Obviously, ultimately the aim is that those players come through to

:09:33. > :09:36.the seniors. A big part of that is for them to get opportunities with

:09:37. > :09:42.their clubs. I think they have shown that if the under 20s real world

:09:43. > :09:47.champions, there is enough players there to fulfil careers in the game

:09:48. > :09:51.without clubs looking elsewhere. History was made in Paris as well.

:09:52. > :09:54.Rafa Nadal thought he would be fishing on his boat of Majorca by

:09:55. > :10:00.now, not winning the French Open for a record tenth time. He cruised back

:10:01. > :10:04.Stan Wawrinka in ten sets to take his 15th major cycle. He has won

:10:05. > :10:10.Grand Slams in his teens, 20s and his 30s. And Lewis Hamilton's

:10:11. > :10:14.Formula 1 title challenge is back on track. He won the Canadian Grand

:10:15. > :10:18.Prix, leading from start to finish in Montreal to take the chequered

:10:19. > :10:22.flag for the sixth time and cut Sebastian Vettel's Championship lead

:10:23. > :10:27.to six points after he could only finish in fourth. My first win he

:10:28. > :10:31.was ten years ago. To repeat it this weekend is incredibly special. I

:10:32. > :10:34.really have to thank my team, who made this possible. The guys back at

:10:35. > :10:41.the factory have worked so hard to really fix what we had in the last

:10:42. > :10:44.race to bring it here. Sir Patrick Stewart was asking the questions, if

:10:45. > :10:47.you didn't recognise him! That's all the sport, back to you, Victoria, in

:10:48. > :10:50.Westminster. Thank you very much. More sport throughout the warning.

:10:51. > :10:56.Good morning, it is Monday morning, it is overcast and cloudy and warm,

:10:57. > :10:59.it is in mourning that Theresa May, the Prime Minister, for now, is

:11:00. > :11:03.fighting for her political life. So it is the morning.

:11:04. > :11:05.Theresa May is fighting for her political life this morning

:11:06. > :11:08.as she prepares to meet Conservative MPs to persuade them she can

:11:09. > :11:12.It looks like she'll be forced to abandon so many of the promises

:11:13. > :11:15.she'd made in the party manifesto - a manifesto many blame, in part,

:11:16. > :11:17.for the party's downfall in last weeks election -

:11:18. > :11:20.and she's had to bring back into her Cabinet Michael Gove,

:11:21. > :11:24.And if she does manage to cling on to power, overshadowing

:11:25. > :11:28.everything is the knowledge that in one week from today she must

:11:29. > :11:29.begin negotiations that will determine this country's future

:11:30. > :11:46.I have just chaired a meeting of the Cabinet...

:11:47. > :11:48.My simple proposition is, it should be our choice...

:11:49. > :11:51.We want to put a case out to the people of

:11:52. > :11:54.It's an opportunity for the people of this country

:11:55. > :11:59.People will write PhDs about the 2017 election

:12:00. > :12:38.I think we've witnessed a political earthquake.

:12:39. > :12:39.And what we're saying is the Conservatives

:12:40. > :12:45.Note they don't have an overall majority at this stage.

:12:46. > :12:51.314 for the Conservatives, that's down 17.

:12:52. > :12:53.If accurate, it means that Theresa May has just presided over

:12:54. > :12:56.the greatest catastrophe that I can think of in the Conservative

:12:57. > :13:05.I cannot see any way at all that the Conservatives can

:13:06. > :13:32.Loss after loss for the Conservatives.

:13:33. > :13:34.The Prime Minister called the election because

:13:35. > :13:41.Well, the mandate she's got is lost Conservative seats,

:13:42. > :13:49.lost votes, lost support, and lost confidence.

:13:50. > :13:51.She doesn't shy from difficult decisions, but she now has

:13:52. > :14:03.I have just been to the Her Majesty the Queen, and I will now form

:14:04. > :14:08.a Government, a Government that can provide certainty and lead Britain

:14:09. > :14:24.forward at this critical time for our country.

:14:25. > :14:26.The Prime Minister has spoken with me this morning,

:14:27. > :14:28.and we will enter discussions with the Conservatives to explore

:14:29. > :14:32.how it may be possible to bring stability to our nation at this time

:14:33. > :15:34.It's quite possible, quite possible there'll be

:15:35. > :15:37.an election later this year or early next year, and that might be a good

:15:38. > :15:40.thing because we cannot go on with a period

:15:41. > :15:59.Theresa May is a dead woman walking, it's just how long she's

:16:00. > :16:04.And I'm sorry, Theresa May, you can pray to God

:16:05. > :16:08.in that church right now - you have had it.

:16:09. > :16:11.She's won the most seats, 56 seats more than Labour,

:16:12. > :16:13.she's won the biggest share of the vote for 34 years.

:16:14. > :16:16.It wasn't the big majority that she wanted, that we wanted.

:16:17. > :16:41.We now have to get on and make the best of it.

:16:42. > :16:47.With me is Jacob Rhys Mogg. When the election was called you said it's

:16:48. > :16:50.always a good idea to trust the British people and ask them for

:16:51. > :16:54.their say. What do you think they have said with this outcome? What I

:16:55. > :16:58.do I think they have said? I think the Conservatives won. It is the

:16:59. > :17:02.highest share of the vote we've got since 1983... What do you think was

:17:03. > :17:05.said with the fact that there isn't a majority? They have said nothing

:17:06. > :17:10.about Brexit because Brexit was not at the heart of the campaign...

:17:11. > :17:15.That's what Theresa May wanted it to be? It is what she wanted, but it's

:17:16. > :17:20.not what she got. You get all the Remainers coming on now saying the

:17:21. > :17:26.campaign was all about Brexit. They said nothing beforehand. Now they

:17:27. > :17:30.say the voters said something they didn't. You say it's not about

:17:31. > :17:33.Brexit. Then what does it mean? I think we have to be honest about it,

:17:34. > :17:36.it was a raspberry at the Conservative manifesto. That was the

:17:37. > :17:40.bit that got us into trouble. I don't think it was... Brexit was in

:17:41. > :17:44.the Conservative manifesto. But that wasn't what was the focus of the

:17:45. > :17:48.campaign, was it? The campaign was about social care and Jeremy Corbyn

:17:49. > :17:52.campaigned well. He didn't do as well as Michael Howard in 2005, but

:17:53. > :17:57.nonetheless Jeremy Corbyn did much better than the expectations and

:17:58. > :18:02.politics is very much about expectation and momentum. I mean

:18:03. > :18:06.perhaps, sorry to interrupt, perhaps it was the electorate saying to Mrs

:18:07. > :18:09.May, we don't particularly like you. We don't particularly like your

:18:10. > :18:13.domestic pollees, we don't like your policy on Brexit? I don't think

:18:14. > :18:20.that's right because Mrs May got more votes than Tony Blair got in

:18:21. > :18:26.199 #. More physical number votes. I'm not trying to pretend the

:18:27. > :18:33.election was an enormous triumph, it wasn't as bad as some people have

:18:34. > :18:37.written up. Mrs May got a complete mandate. Last year you said Boris

:18:38. > :18:42.Johnson would make a great Prime Minister and leader of the

:18:43. > :18:45.Conservative Party. He has the sense to be a unifier and a representative

:18:46. > :18:50.of the nation on the world stage. Do you still believe that? I think

:18:51. > :18:53.Boris Johnson is a great man. One of the really big figures of British

:18:54. > :18:58.politics. Mrs May is the Prime Minister. There is no vacancies.

:18:59. > :19:04.Boris said he doesn't want to become leader now. Do you believe that? We

:19:05. > :19:10.need Mrs May to remain. We need Mrs May to deliver on Brexit. People

:19:11. > :19:17.have been talking about disasters. Disasters are when the Titanic sinks

:19:18. > :19:23.not and when your vote share goes up. Some people used the word

:19:24. > :19:27.catastrophe? Calm and deliberation is what we need and that leads us to

:19:28. > :19:30.the conclusion that Mrs May is the right... We have a selection of

:19:31. > :19:42.voters here. PROBLEM WITH SOUND

:19:43. > :19:45.You heard what Rhys Mogg said. Her campaign was about strong

:19:46. > :19:50.leadership, but in my view, what should have happened is to speak

:19:51. > :19:53.about the economy because in the last two elections when Mr Cameron

:19:54. > :20:00.was Prime Minister, that's what won the vote. I want to ask you is Mrs

:20:01. > :20:04.May the right lady to use Jacob Rhys Mogg's word for the job right now?

:20:05. > :20:07.That's what we've got and unfortunately that's got to remain.

:20:08. > :20:14.Who else wants to say something about that? Alex. I would like to

:20:15. > :20:20.ask a question if I could. I was really encouraged as a youth worker.

:20:21. > :20:23.I work in Luton and I was really encouraged that young people came

:20:24. > :20:26.out and voted and I'd love to know what you think young people have

:20:27. > :20:30.been saying in the vote because I think that's fascinating the early

:20:31. > :20:33.signs that we're seeing? It was very interesting and it's a change from

:20:34. > :20:38.previous elections. I think it's very good news. I think you have a

:20:39. > :20:43.better mandate for all MPs, the more people turn out to vote and the

:20:44. > :20:58.turn-out was up election. We're getting close to # 7% which was --

:20:59. > :21:04.70% which was routine. We need to use social media to communicate our

:21:05. > :21:07.message. The leaflets I put out are successful with a more mature

:21:08. > :21:10.community, but I'm not sure they are right for the younger votes and

:21:11. > :21:15.that's what we have got to get through. We don't have the exact

:21:16. > :21:19.figures, but when the election was called 1.5 million 18 to

:21:20. > :21:25.24-year-olds registered to vote. What do you think it is saying if

:21:26. > :21:31.turn-out among 18 to 24-year-olds is as high as people are saying. Are

:21:32. > :21:35.they saying we don't want a hard Brexit? They care about the future.

:21:36. > :21:39.They're voting for the NHS, they're voting for he had caution and voting

:21:40. > :21:44.for really key policies and I think they want a better future for

:21:45. > :21:49.everybody. Can I add one thing? Yes. The clear message from Brexit and

:21:50. > :21:53.from so many young people voting is people are fed-up with business as

:21:54. > :21:56.normal. They don't want the political elite of which I am a

:21:57. > :22:01.part, I can't depatch myself from it. They don't want the political

:22:02. > :22:04.elite carrying on as they have done. They want something fresher and a

:22:05. > :22:08.greater trust in democracy. But that's what Theresa May is doing.

:22:09. > :22:11.She is carrying on as though it is business as usual. Well, we still

:22:12. > :22:16.have to have a Government within this context. It is about the

:22:17. > :22:19.message that we've got to deliver and that's the key we should pick up

:22:20. > :22:24.from the general election. A quick show of hands. We have got a mixture

:22:25. > :22:28.of voters, Green, Lib Dems, Labour, Conservatives, who thinks it's right

:22:29. > :22:35.that Theresa May continues as Prime Minister now? Hands up. Right now.

:22:36. > :22:38.Right now. So most of you do. OK. That's interesting. That includes

:22:39. > :22:44.some Labour voters there as well. That's interesting. Alex, you're a

:22:45. > :22:48.Labour voter, why? It feels like in the short-term I would agree, we

:22:49. > :22:51.don't need another general election. That's crazy. I don't think she has

:22:52. > :22:55.the confidence of the country or the confidence of her party and I can't

:22:56. > :22:59.see it lasting long, but right now for the short season, perhaps it's

:23:00. > :23:03.right. All right, thank you. Doesn't it just show the wisdom of the

:23:04. > :23:10.British people? You gather together a group and they calmly want to see

:23:11. > :23:16.things carry on, having the country carrying on. That may not have been

:23:17. > :23:21.on the tip of our tongues, but it goes back to what you voted for. You

:23:22. > :23:32.can trust the people. The British people get things right. How long

:23:33. > :23:36.will Theresa May last? An eternity. Thank you very much. Thank you for

:23:37. > :23:39.coming on the programme. Much more from our voters and from politicians

:23:40. > :23:43.from all parties throughout the morning. Good morning. It's the

:23:44. > :23:48.Monday after that election! Welcome to Westminster. We're on a roof and

:23:49. > :23:54.why not? We've got a group of voters from different parties. We will hear

:23:55. > :23:58.from senior politicians, Labour defying all the pundits and some

:23:59. > :24:01.within their own party and celebrating the election result.

:24:02. > :24:04.Some say as if it was a have you beeningtry with many insisting they

:24:05. > :24:08.can still go on to form a Government.

:24:09. > :24:11.We have a chaotic situation with a Government that sought

:24:12. > :24:14.re-election on the basis of wanting a bigger mandate and a bigger

:24:15. > :24:15.majority to bring stability to British politics,

:24:16. > :24:20.A minority Government relying on the DUP to try and get business

:24:21. > :24:22.through the House of Commons when they have no agreed positions,

:24:23. > :24:26.as far as I can work out, on most issues.

:24:27. > :24:29.It seems to me chaotic, and I think we are quite ready

:24:30. > :24:32.and able to put forward a serious programme which obviously has

:24:33. > :24:39.Remember, this election campaign turned around a great deal

:24:40. > :24:42.on the basis of an awful lot of people rejecting the politics

:24:43. > :24:45.of fear and instead embracing the politics of hope that we can

:24:46. > :24:47.challenge austerity and we can actually start sharing the wealth

:24:48. > :25:03.Let's talk to Emily Thornbury who is the Shadow Foreign Secretary as you

:25:04. > :25:10.know and an Islington MP. Where are we today? Well, good question! I

:25:11. > :25:14.think that what has been so interesting in this election is that

:25:15. > :25:18.Labour has defied all expectations. I think that we've had a really

:25:19. > :25:22.popular manifesto that has drawn more and more and more support and I

:25:23. > :25:26.think that people realise that it doesn't have to be this way. There

:25:27. > :25:29.is an alternative. I think what's also really interesting is if you

:25:30. > :25:34.continue to look at the polling we continue to get even more popular

:25:35. > :25:37.after the general election and if an election was called today, we would

:25:38. > :25:42.win. There won't be an election today. I'm just saying. You asked me

:25:43. > :25:46.where we are, that's where we are. What are you going to do to

:25:47. > :25:50.capitalise on the extra MPs that you now have, not the largest party, but

:25:51. > :25:53.what are you going to did? We're going to make sure we hold their

:25:54. > :25:57.feet to the fire. So where we can, for example, on the Queen's Speech,

:25:58. > :26:02.we will be trying to ensure that we hold them to account, that where

:26:03. > :26:07.there are things that we profoundly disagree with them, where we think

:26:08. > :26:12.we will be able to defeat them, we will put out amendments and keep

:26:13. > :26:17.harrining them. Jeremy Corbyn said he would put down an amendment to

:26:18. > :26:19.the Queen's Speech. That's the Government's programme of

:26:20. > :26:23.legislation over however long. If you put down an amendment next

:26:24. > :26:27.Monday, what does that mean in practical terms? Explain to what our

:26:28. > :26:30.audience what you would be hoping to do with that amendment? The Queen's

:26:31. > :26:33.Speech is the opportunity for the Government to get the Queen to read

:26:34. > :26:36.for a couple of pages where she says my Government this and my Government

:26:37. > :26:39.that and it's supposed to be their vision for where they want to take

:26:40. > :26:43.Britainment we think very haven't got much of a vision and they have

:26:44. > :26:45.no idea what they are going to put in, they have to negotiate with

:26:46. > :26:48.their backbenchers and negotiate with the DUP. But we will have, we

:26:49. > :26:51.have a clear vision of what we want to do with Britain, so we will be

:26:52. > :26:55.looking to that and we will be looking to what it is that they have

:26:56. > :26:58.put down and putting down our vision and our amendments and asking

:26:59. > :27:01.Parliament to vote on that. Right, and you would expect all of the

:27:02. > :27:06.Conservative Party and all of the DUP, will vote for the Government's

:27:07. > :27:11.programme, not your amendment, is that what you're saying? Yeah. It

:27:12. > :27:14.depends... To vote for your vision of Britain? The classic way would be

:27:15. > :27:18.a Government wins an election on their manifesto and then that

:27:19. > :27:20.manifesto is basically boiled down to two pages by the Queen and then

:27:21. > :27:24.that's their programme for Government. Well, they can't do

:27:25. > :27:27.that, can they? Because they haven't got a majority and they haven't got

:27:28. > :27:32.their backbenchers agreeing with them. They have a majority with the

:27:33. > :27:36.DUP. It's wafer thin? Two lost their jobs and the other one lost his

:27:37. > :27:39.seat. They have a majority with the DUP? They have got a majority, but a

:27:40. > :27:43.majority for what? That's where we are and that's why the Queen's

:27:44. > :27:47.Speech is quite important, we want to know what it is they agree to and

:27:48. > :27:51.then we will be pushing them and keep pushing them. We heard from

:27:52. > :27:54.some voters some of whom are Labour who say that it is right that

:27:55. > :27:58.Theresa May continues for the moment, for a period of stability.

:27:59. > :28:03.What do you say to our voters? Well, you know, it's, let's see what

:28:04. > :28:09.happens. I mean, the reality is that she won the election in one respect,

:28:10. > :28:12.but in the major respect she didn't. In the respect that her manifesto

:28:13. > :28:15.didn't win. People don't have confidence in her. She is a wounded

:28:16. > :28:20.Prime Minister. She is not really going to be able to do anything. She

:28:21. > :28:22.is going to have to do it in agreement with the DUP which causes

:28:23. > :28:25.all kinds of problems in terms of the peace process in Northern

:28:26. > :28:28.Ireland. If you want me to start talking about that, that's really

:28:29. > :28:32.worrying. How they're going to patch this together, who knows? In the

:28:33. > :28:35.meantime, there is Brexit going on and that's really important to get

:28:36. > :28:38.rightment and we have a very different idea about what kind of

:28:39. > :28:41.Brexit negotiations we should behaving than frankly Theresa May

:28:42. > :28:47.seem to be envisaging. Labour voters here. Danny, what do you want Labour

:28:48. > :28:51.to do, if anything? Well, I think that the Labour Government needs to

:28:52. > :28:54.prepare to be in Government in the eventualality that's the situation

:28:55. > :28:57.that can happen, but on a wider level this points out that the

:28:58. > :29:02.electoral system in this country needs electoral reform. That could

:29:03. > :29:06.be a whole two hour programme! We're not going to get into that now! Can

:29:07. > :29:10.I just say to Danny, absolutely. I have been saying to everybody, don't

:29:11. > :29:13.put your posters away, put them in the top drawer because there will be

:29:14. > :29:18.another election, it looks like, I am afraid and people may not want to

:29:19. > :29:24.have it, but it looks like that's where we're going to have to go.

:29:25. > :29:28.Matt? One of the reasons that people are saying Labour have won, I don't

:29:29. > :29:32.think we have won, but it has been a phenomenal turn around in six

:29:33. > :29:35.weeksment they weren't saying if we don't win, that's it. The response

:29:36. > :29:40.has been phenomenal. What do you want Labour to do now to capitalise

:29:41. > :29:45.on their success on Thursday? Keep doing what they have been doing over

:29:46. > :29:51.the last six weeks. Who knows what they can achieve. A majority is

:29:52. > :29:56.achievable. One thing we learned over two years is a disawe nighted

:29:57. > :29:59.party is an under Popular Party and what happened in that election is we

:30:00. > :30:03.were united and what we're going to see now is the Labour Party sticking

:30:04. > :30:06.together and look at the Tories, they are going to be falling to

:30:07. > :30:11.pieces. Can I just ask you about Brexit? Some people are not clear

:30:12. > :30:19.where Labour stance on Brexit. You have talked about leaving the single

:30:20. > :30:20.market and the customs union and ending freedom of movement. What's

:30:21. > :30:31.your position? I have explained this and I'll do it

:30:32. > :30:34.again. We wanted to stay in the European Union but we Kacar

:30:35. > :30:40.instructions from the British people so we are leaving. How -- we take

:30:41. > :30:45.our instructions. Nobody voted by poorer or lose their job. It has to

:30:46. > :30:50.be a jobs first Brexit. Does that mean staying in the Single Market?

:30:51. > :30:54.The difficulty is that we find it very difficult to envisage how we

:30:55. > :30:58.would remain in the Single Market. The reality is that... It does mean

:30:59. > :31:03.leaving the Single Market? But we want to have tariff free, red tape

:31:04. > :31:08.free access to the Single Market. This is a nuanced position. It is

:31:09. > :31:12.nuanced but entirely consistent. I was shadow Brexit and then Shadow

:31:13. > :31:18.Foreign Secretary. I haven't ever to make this clear. It is my fault, but

:31:19. > :31:21.I have said that hundreds of times. It is the economy first, the safety

:31:22. > :31:27.and security of our nation and then the economy so quite do you

:31:28. > :31:30.understand Labour's Brexit position? No, if you look through the Labour

:31:31. > :31:36.manifesto they want to re-nationalise... We are talking

:31:37. > :31:39.about Brexit now. I am linking it. Here you are talking about

:31:40. > :31:46.inevitably remaining a member of the Single Market. You can't do both of

:31:47. > :31:50.those things. I said, it is not inevitable that we remain in the

:31:51. > :31:53.Single Market. If we are leaving the EU, it seems it is very difficult

:31:54. > :31:58.for us to remain in the Single Market. We want to have access to

:31:59. > :32:04.the Single Market, and that has to be overwhelmingly our priority. But

:32:05. > :32:07.at... Listen, nobody has left the European Union before. If we went

:32:08. > :32:14.into it in good faith and said to the Europeans, we have a problem, we

:32:15. > :32:17.want to leave, let's not do negotiations like Theresa May

:32:18. > :32:22.stamping her feet and saying, I want, I want, I want. You go along

:32:23. > :32:26.and say, this is what we think we should be doing and how about this?

:32:27. > :32:30.Talking to them, listening to them, and working out a compromise, that

:32:31. > :32:38.is what our approach should be. You need to go, thank you very much,

:32:39. > :32:44.Emily Thornberry. Let's talk more about Brexit. What do you want

:32:45. > :32:48.Theresa May to do now? Having failed to get a majority and having failed

:32:49. > :32:51.to get the mandate she was asking for from the British people, does

:32:52. > :33:05.she need to change her approach to Brexit... Or not? Let's hear from

:33:06. > :33:09.Toby. I think she needs to amend her views on the whole thing. To me

:33:10. > :33:12.there seems a middle ground in terms of what we were saying, it has to be

:33:13. > :33:17.a jobs first Brexit which has the economy's best interests at heart.

:33:18. > :33:22.Theresa May has said she is leaving the Single Market, do you want her

:33:23. > :33:25.to change her mind? Absolutely, the good thing about this is softening

:33:26. > :33:28.the stance and sorting out a position where we can move forward

:33:29. > :33:33.as a nation. Everything about the last couple of years of politics has

:33:34. > :33:41.been about division, and I think we need unity. Anyone else? Her

:33:42. > :33:44.rhetoric of being a citizen has been incredibly divisive. It should be a

:33:45. > :33:48.real lesson about bringing the country together. She has spoken

:33:49. > :33:54.about it but she has divided the country more. You have to understand

:33:55. > :33:59.that what everybody wants at this point, I really do not think she

:34:00. > :34:04.actually wants to take anything at all away, it is a way of starting

:34:05. > :34:07.negotiation and conversation. When you get to negotiations, you do not

:34:08. > :34:11.tell the party that you are negotiating with that you are not

:34:12. > :34:16.ready to go all the way there. It is a point of getting a way to start

:34:17. > :34:22.talking with Europe and trying to get the best deal for Britain. Let's

:34:23. > :34:26.bring in Neil Coyle, a Labour MP, nominated Jeremy Corbyn as Labour

:34:27. > :34:31.leader but has since been one of his heart harshest critics. Do you now

:34:32. > :34:37.eat your words? All of the humble pie has been scoffed by over the

:34:38. > :34:42.weekend but I am happy to have my share. People overestimated the

:34:43. > :34:47.enthusiasm of some of the new members and policies that were more

:34:48. > :34:50.radical, like tuition fees. We all underestimated how angry people

:34:51. > :34:54.still work with Theresa May over Brexit, as you have been talking

:34:55. > :34:59.about. Also, after seven years of Theresa May being in government, she

:35:00. > :35:03.kept saying she cared about the people who were just about managing,

:35:04. > :35:07.but in her manifesto she offered nothing for the people who have been

:35:08. > :35:12.struggling, nothing for the police or house-building. We saw what

:35:13. > :35:16.happened with the social C. What do you do now, then? Everything has

:35:17. > :35:21.changed and nothing has changed. Yes, it is great to have more Labour

:35:22. > :35:24.MPs and great to have, you know, the chance to be nearer Government, but

:35:25. > :35:35.nobody should be suggesting that we have won this election by any

:35:36. > :35:38.stretch of the mark. The Tories are still there and able to do the

:35:39. > :35:40.damage. I wanted to be in... To make sure we have more police and that we

:35:41. > :35:43.are building more affordable housing. Do you want another

:35:44. > :35:45.election? I think it is inevitable. Theresa May has affected her own

:35:46. > :35:49.chances. When you say it is inevitable, can you describe to me

:35:50. > :35:53.in parliamentary terms why it would end up being inevitable? What has to

:35:54. > :35:58.happen for an external election? I think Theresa May has no mandate.

:35:59. > :36:03.She has a manifesto that she cannot deliver, a party that is angry. She

:36:04. > :36:06.has to lose a covered in smoke in the House of Commons. All of her

:36:07. > :36:12.Conservative MPs and the DUP take her to a majority position. -- she

:36:13. > :36:17.has to lose a confidence vote. All of those in a confidence motion one

:36:18. > :36:21.would expect to vote for her. How is a general election inevitable? You

:36:22. > :36:26.are underestimating how ruthlessly Tory Party is. Some of her own MPs

:36:27. > :36:30.would vote against her? Yes, she said this election is only about

:36:31. > :36:34.herself. People have shifted, they want to know what is happening with

:36:35. > :36:39.the Single Market. The Labour Party has won in Kensington and

:36:40. > :36:42.Canterbury, I think partly on Remain alone. People are angry and

:36:43. > :36:47.concerned about drug. They want her to change her position. Some in her

:36:48. > :36:49.party will have to force to do that -- people are concerned Rod Lawler.

:36:50. > :36:54.What do you think about the deal with the DUP? I think it is a

:36:55. > :37:03.disgrace. I thought Tim Farron's views abortion and being gay were

:37:04. > :37:06.bizarre, but the DUP are alarming. We have seen what the SNP were

:37:07. > :37:11.doing, and thankfully they have been knocked back. We have seen a rise in

:37:12. > :37:14.tension in Northern Ireland. Brexit has so many costs and consequences

:37:15. > :37:18.and risks that this Government are trying to ignore. The cracks are

:37:19. > :37:25.widening. Thank you, Neil Coyle, Labour MP. More from our voters

:37:26. > :37:31.later. Let's hear the news and sport with Joanne. Theresa May will today

:37:32. > :37:32.meet backbench Conservative MPs and set Hryko sustained run in Downing

:42:00. > :42:03.number ten to meet the Prime Minister. What will Arlene Foster be

:42:04. > :42:07.asking for in exchange for supporting a Tory government? The

:42:08. > :42:10.clue is in the document that was produced two years ago when everyone

:42:11. > :42:14.thought we were heading towards a hung parliament. I suspect that what

:42:15. > :42:18.Arlene and the DUP team will be asking for is three things. To

:42:19. > :42:21.secure Northern Ireland's position within the UK and play a greater

:42:22. > :42:25.role in national politics. Secondly, there will be an ask around

:42:26. > :42:30.additional revenue for the Northern Ireland block grant. If there is an

:42:31. > :42:33.executive up and running, perhaps additional economic levers to help

:42:34. > :42:36.us become more economically competitive here in Northern

:42:37. > :42:41.Ireland. Thirdly, Rob post-Brexit world, as you will be aware the DUP

:42:42. > :42:45.want a soft border with the Irish Republic. That means there is a free

:42:46. > :42:47.flow of people who will go up and down the country between Northern

:42:48. > :42:51.Ireland and the Republic of Ireland on a daily basis for work. Also the

:42:52. > :42:55.businesses on both sides of the border who have supply teams that

:42:56. > :42:59.straddle the border. Those are the things that the DUP will be asking

:43:00. > :43:03.for in the discussions with the Conservatives over the coming days.

:43:04. > :43:08.We have just got this in from Reuters. Arlene Foster, the DUP

:43:09. > :43:12.leader, saying her priority talks with the Prime Minister are about

:43:13. > :43:19.defending the United Kingdom and a good Brexit deal. Peter Lynas, good

:43:20. > :43:25.morning to you. What is your view on this deal between the DUP on the

:43:26. > :43:29.Conservatives was blog good morning, Victoria. We work across various

:43:30. > :43:34.parties in Northern Ireland. The DUP, along with many others. In a

:43:35. > :43:39.sense, I agree with Alistair. The DUP set out sometimes two years ago.

:43:40. > :43:42.The DUP sometimes misunderstood, they are not a simple party of the

:43:43. > :43:46.right or left, they have objected to some of the things are Conservative

:43:47. > :43:50.manifesto around welfare reform. They want to see the triple lock and

:43:51. > :43:55.want to fuel allowance capped, many of their voters are class. They will

:43:56. > :44:00.disagree with the Conservatives there. Northern Ireland has the

:44:01. > :44:05.young European land border. A soft Brexit, that will have a big impact

:44:06. > :44:10.-- European land border. There will be something around the terror and

:44:11. > :44:13.extremism stuff. We have a very real understanding of terrorism here in

:44:14. > :44:17.Northern Ireland, it is different from extremism. The DUP have been

:44:18. > :44:21.betrayed as an extreme party over the weekend, that is unhelpful,

:44:22. > :44:24.there is counter extremism legislation that it is important

:44:25. > :44:27.that we get right but it really needs to go to the end whether its

:44:28. > :44:34.violence and terrorism. We have a real understanding of that. Let me

:44:35. > :44:37.bring in Ellen Murray, and LGBT campaigner. Is there anything

:44:38. > :44:43.extreme you have just heard from either Peter Lynas or Alistair Ross?

:44:44. > :44:48.Good morning. I don't think I have heard anything necessarily extreme

:44:49. > :44:52.from either of them so far. However, the DUP's social policies around

:44:53. > :45:00.LGBT rights and their history, both in Parliament and at home in the AM

:45:01. > :45:05.of Eric Murray poor. -- in the assembly are poor. We can expect a

:45:06. > :45:08.stagnation of LGBT rights if the DUP have the power to start influencing

:45:09. > :45:15.the Tories on what they can and cannot introduce as legislation.

:45:16. > :45:26.We have various people in the audience who want to talk about the

:45:27. > :45:29.DUP's views on same-sex marriage and abortion. What do you think about

:45:30. > :45:35.this potential deal between the DUP and the Conservatives? I think it is

:45:36. > :45:39.a disgrace and I also think... Why is it a disgrace? Well, it is a

:45:40. > :45:47.disgrace because they are a party known for having quite extreme views

:45:48. > :45:53.and they have no - I mean we've just, we passed like same-sex

:45:54. > :46:02.marriage a few years ago and now the Conservatives did and now they're

:46:03. > :46:09.with a party which doesn't, which discriminates against LGBT people...

:46:10. > :46:16.On religious grounds they don't want same-sex marriage in church. Will?

:46:17. > :46:23.Theresa May is not giving the reassurances that LGBT ought to be

:46:24. > :46:30.protected. She has pointed her new Justice Secretary who has a number

:46:31. > :46:37.of homophobic records. He voted against, they voted against the

:46:38. > :46:41.consent in the 1990s, same-sex marriage on both occasions and she

:46:42. > :46:45.is not giving those reassurances that are needed. Do you think

:46:46. > :46:49.legislation in England and Wales is going to change when it comes to

:46:50. > :46:56.equal rights as a result of a deal with the DUP? That's the point. I

:46:57. > :47:00.don't think that's going to change. The whole essence of having the

:47:01. > :47:02.collaboration with the DUP was to get through Parliament, get a

:47:03. > :47:09.majority that the Conservative Party needs and to be able to focus on the

:47:10. > :47:12.things ahead like Brexit so I don't think their views is going to colour

:47:13. > :47:17.the views of the Conservative Party. I do think that the DUP as you quite

:47:18. > :47:21.rightly said, I don't think they are going to try and influence social

:47:22. > :47:26.policy in the UK. What they are looking for is economic assurances

:47:27. > :47:30.and extra economic aid in Northern Ireland, but I do think someone

:47:31. > :47:33.raised a point earlier about whether the Conservative Government can then

:47:34. > :47:37.influential change in Northern Ireland but I do think it is

:47:38. > :47:40.important to remember we have a devolved Assembly in Northern

:47:41. > :47:43.Ireland and that's a matter for people of Northern Ireland and

:47:44. > :47:48.whether as was seen in this country you will see social change come

:47:49. > :47:53.about through a grass-roots movement. I don't really think it's

:47:54. > :47:56.the right approach to say well, we're going to force this change

:47:57. > :48:00.into Northern Ireland as much as I would believe that it's the right

:48:01. > :48:07.direction. Let me introduce you to Clare Murphy. Come nearer. Clare

:48:08. > :48:10.Murphy is from the British Pregnancy Advisory Service. What is your issue

:48:11. > :48:14.with the DUP doing a deal with the Conservatives? Well, you know, I

:48:15. > :48:18.think we've heard the word extreme used this morning and when it comes

:48:19. > :48:22.to abortion that is fair... Nothing will change in England and Wales?

:48:23. > :48:27.That's a fair and legitimate word when it comes to the DUP. This is a

:48:28. > :48:33.party that believes that it is moral and right to compel a woman who is

:48:34. > :48:39.carrying a pregnancy where the baby has no skull to compel that woman to

:48:40. > :48:42.carry that pregnancy to term. It doesn't actually represent public

:48:43. > :48:47.opinion in Northern Ireland on these issues. There is a strong ground

:48:48. > :48:50.swell of public opinion in favour of decriminalisation of abortion in

:48:51. > :48:52.Northern Ireland and for women to be able to access abortion at least in

:48:53. > :48:56.certain circumstances and I think the only good thing we can say about

:48:57. > :49:01.this situation is at least it's brought attention to what's going on

:49:02. > :49:06.in Northern Ireland. In terms of women's access to services. From

:49:07. > :49:10.what we're told the DUP, in terms of this deal, will be wanting, you

:49:11. > :49:14.notion billions poured into the Northern Ireland economy, will be

:49:15. > :49:18.wanting perhaps Theresa May to dump some of her policies from her

:49:19. > :49:22.manifesto. There is nothing, they're not demanding anything, they're not

:49:23. > :49:27.demanding restrictions on women in England and Wales. It's interesting

:49:28. > :49:31.you say that, though because the DUP do vote in Westminster on issues

:49:32. > :49:35.that only pertain to women in England and Wales, but they vote on

:49:36. > :49:37.abortion issues so when they say they don't intervene they do

:49:38. > :49:40.intervene. I was suggesting it wouldn't be part of this deal

:49:41. > :49:44.though? Well, let's hope it's not part of this deal, but let's use

:49:45. > :49:48.this opportunity to really stand up and make our voices heard on the

:49:49. > :49:52.kind of situation, you know, to really make clear our voice is on

:49:53. > :49:56.how we feel about the situation for women in Northern Ireland. I'm going

:49:57. > :49:59.to bring Alistair Ross in. A former DUP junior ministerment there are a

:50:00. > :50:05.number of people who are really worried about the peace process,

:50:06. > :50:09.Alistair Ross because they say for the Good Friday Agreement the

:50:10. > :50:12.British Government has to be neutral, has to be totally impartial

:50:13. > :50:16.when it comes to the peace process so how can they be impartial,

:50:17. > :50:21.neutral when they are doing a deal with the DUP? If I can say the DUP

:50:22. > :50:24.is a socially Conservative Party, but Northern Ireland is socially

:50:25. > :50:27.Conservative, you know, in comparison to the rest of the United

:50:28. > :50:32.Kingdom and other parties also hold the same view that the 196 Abortion

:50:33. > :50:36.Act shouldn't be extended to Northern Ireland. It is not just the

:50:37. > :50:39.DUP, the SDLP and most of the unionist party would hold that view

:50:40. > :50:43.as well. In terms of the process, I have heard a lot about this from

:50:44. > :50:47.particularly Labour MPs in the last 24 hours. It would almost suggests

:50:48. > :50:51.that the Labour Party when they were in Government didn't try to do deals

:50:52. > :50:54.with the DUP and of course they did and they would have taken sides at

:50:55. > :50:59.different times. Yes, absolutely, but just a minute. It stands to

:51:00. > :51:04.reason that the Government will be be Holden to the DUP and that

:51:05. > :51:07.doesn't make them neutral or impartial when it comes to the peace

:51:08. > :51:10.process? It is not a mergerment it is a much more informal arrangement

:51:11. > :51:13.around supporting a Queen's Speech, a Budget and potentially any motions

:51:14. > :51:17.of no confidence in the Prime Minister. So I think it will be over

:51:18. > :51:23.a limited number of issues and then other issues will be done on an

:51:24. > :51:26.issue by issue basis, the DUP will want as much flexibility as

:51:27. > :51:30.possible. In terms of neutrality in terms of the talks starting at

:51:31. > :51:33.Stormont to get the executive back up and running, the talks have the

:51:34. > :51:35.UK Secretary of State and the Irish Government are represented and the

:51:36. > :51:39.Northern Ireland head of the Civil Service will chair most of the

:51:40. > :51:42.discussions, ultimately an agreement will have to happen between the

:51:43. > :51:45.parties in any case and where the UK Government come into it and

:51:46. > :51:48.nationalist parties said they are not an impartial actor for many

:51:49. > :51:52.years already, but where they come into it is around some of the stuff

:51:53. > :51:55.around legacy, but look, this is a concern, I've heard the concern, but

:51:56. > :52:00.I think the Secretary of State will do all he can to make sure the

:52:01. > :52:03.perception is he acts as an impartial player in any talks and I

:52:04. > :52:06.think the head of the Civil Service in Northern Ireland will chair most

:52:07. > :52:11.of those discussions if that's a concern for nationalist parties.

:52:12. > :52:17.OK, thank you very much, all of you, Alistair Ross former DUP junior

:52:18. > :52:24.minister, thank you to Peter, Director of Evangelical alliance and

:52:25. > :52:28.Ellen Murray, LGBT campaigner and Clare Murphy from the British

:52:29. > :52:34.Pregnancy Advisory Servicement let's talk to Chuka Umunna who has been a

:52:35. > :52:41.fierce critic of Jeremy Corbyn. Would you chouk like a job again in

:52:42. > :52:49.the Shadow Cabinet? Well, I'm not sure I would describe myself as

:52:50. > :52:56.fierce! Well, look, Victoria, in the end who is in Jeremy's team is up to

:52:57. > :53:05.Jeremy and I don't think it is up to me or anyone else to tell him who to

:53:06. > :53:09.point or hold a herself r reshuffle. If we were asked to serve, people

:53:10. > :53:12.would do that because we have got to focus our fire on the Tories and

:53:13. > :53:16.getting them out of Government as soon as possiblement they have

:53:17. > :53:19.created a right mess, chaos and shamble which is interesting soap

:53:20. > :53:24.opera in Westminster, but in the end will affect people's lives. And the

:53:25. > :53:28.big issue on the horizon is Brexit. You know, that's going to have a

:53:29. > :53:32.huge effect on your viewers jobs and livelihoods and we have got to do

:53:33. > :53:34.the job that we must do of scrutinising the deal, the

:53:35. > :53:36.negotiations and making sure that we get the best deal for our

:53:37. > :53:41.communities and that's where everybody in the Labour Party will

:53:42. > :53:44.be focussed on. So, in Parliamentary terms, does

:53:45. > :53:53.that mean from a Labour point of view, you get together with the SNP,

:53:54. > :53:58.with the Greens, and others to try to vote down what Theresa May and

:53:59. > :54:02.the DUP will try to do on Brexit or do you hope the Democratic Unionists

:54:03. > :54:10.will end up softening approach to Brexit? -- Theresa May's approach to

:54:11. > :54:17.Brexit? We will put forward our own agenda and our own ideas. We will

:54:18. > :54:21.make amendments to legislation as we see fit. There are three things that

:54:22. > :54:26.come out of the election. One, the Prime Minister does not have a

:54:27. > :54:30.mandate to pursue an extreme job destroying Brexit. She doesn't have

:54:31. > :54:34.that now. Two, she was talking up the prospects of no deal being

:54:35. > :54:38.better than a deal. I think that's off the table, given that the DUP

:54:39. > :54:42.are seeking a soft border with the Republic of Ireland and that will

:54:43. > :54:45.require a deal and thirdly, for her to get through any legislation

:54:46. > :54:49.relating to Brexit, never mind a vote on the deal, she is going to

:54:50. > :54:52.need a degree of cross party support. Simply getting the DUP

:54:53. > :54:58.support is not going to be enough. There is a huge amount of

:54:59. > :55:02.legislation which will have to go through Parliament, both prim

:55:03. > :55:05.primary and secondary legislation to give effect from our withdrawal from

:55:06. > :55:12.the European Union. I really do think that we're in a change

:55:13. > :55:16.situation now. Right, OK. We have a number of voters here, Labour,

:55:17. > :55:23.Conservative, Greens, etcetera, Lib Dems. And including Labour voters,

:55:24. > :55:27.most of them feel it is right that Theresa May continues as Prime

:55:28. > :55:30.Minister for a period of time because they don't want another

:55:31. > :55:37.general election. Are you surprised by that? I'm not surprised by that.

:55:38. > :55:40.I mean, if I just look in my constituency in straet statement, in

:55:41. > :55:44.Lambeth, we had local elections in 2014. We had a general election in

:55:45. > :55:48.2015, we had the European referendum in 2016, and another general

:55:49. > :55:52.election this year. I think the people we represent want us to get

:55:53. > :55:55.on with the business of ensuring we've got a smooth running country

:55:56. > :55:59.and there is a Government doing what people want it to be doing. So I'm

:56:00. > :56:02.not surprised by that, but I have to say, if there is another general

:56:03. > :56:07.election I think people are certainly not wrong to talk about

:56:08. > :56:10.there possibly being one, it will be simply because the current

:56:11. > :56:14.Government, a minority Government, is not able to govern effectively

:56:15. > :56:17.and it maybe that if they can't get through the legislation, can't get

:56:18. > :56:21.through their policies they have to go back to the country and ask the

:56:22. > :56:24.people for a clearer instruction as to what they want and I mean one of

:56:25. > :56:27.the things that's been not commented on quite as much as I think it

:56:28. > :56:31.should be is the fact that we're still a really divided country. I

:56:32. > :56:34.think people were very alarmed coming out of the EU referendum just

:56:35. > :56:36.how divided we were and the divisions twob the generations,

:56:37. > :56:40.between different parts of the country, I don't think, you know, we

:56:41. > :56:44.can think that any less coming out of this general election. We are

:56:45. > :56:48.still looking like a very country and the question is how do we unify

:56:49. > :56:53.and come together to build a better tomorrow for future generations?

:56:54. > :56:59.Gordon Brown flirted with the DUP back in 2010. What's your view about

:57:00. > :57:03.the Conservatives and the DUP together? Well, think a lot of

:57:04. > :57:07.people find some of the views of some of the politicians in the DUP

:57:08. > :57:12.really quite objectionable. They don't have a very good record on

:57:13. > :57:15.some LGBT rights for example. I don't particularly like their views

:57:16. > :57:19.on abortion. I understand they are opposed to people having the right

:57:20. > :57:23.to choose when it comes to abortion. So I can understand the alarm that

:57:24. > :57:29.has been raised by Ruth Davidson and others in the Conservative Party and

:57:30. > :57:31.more broadly, but there is the big issue here that traditionally we

:57:32. > :57:37.have established the convention that the UK Government seeks to act as an

:57:38. > :57:40.impartial honest player when it comes to resolving issues in

:57:41. > :57:44.Northern Ireland. And at the moment, there is not a functioning

:57:45. > :57:49.Government over there. And how on earth, given they have this

:57:50. > :57:53.arrangement with the DUP, can the Conservative minority Government act

:57:54. > :57:59.as an impartial player in that situation which is a delicate one?

:58:00. > :58:08.I'm not sure that they can. Can it? Right. Well, I don't see how they

:58:09. > :58:11.can act as an I will partial player between the different parties in

:58:12. > :58:23.Northern Ireland when they have this arrangement with the DUP. Thank you,

:58:24. > :58:26.Chuka Umunna. Thank you for your patience, I appreciate T Katie on

:58:27. > :58:31.Facebook says, "The people voted and the verdict is, we are divided. Just

:58:32. > :58:33.as we were about Brexit. The Conservatives have the largest

:58:34. > :58:39.number of seats and they have a duty to do the best for Britain when it

:58:40. > :58:42.comes to Brexit." Sean says, "I wish Labour won. It would have been

:58:43. > :58:47.interesting to see their faces realising they had to deliver their

:58:48. > :58:50.manifesto." ." Small chuckle here from voters, including Labour

:58:51. > :58:53.voters. Vor viewer says, "Jeremy Corbyn and his coalition would

:58:54. > :58:58.actually represent more of the UK population. They also seem more

:58:59. > :59:01.stable and consistent than the Conservatives and DUP together."

:59:02. > :59:04.Wherever you are in the UK, let me know, what do you want to see happen

:59:05. > :59:10.next? Right, let's bring you the weather. Here is Carol.

:59:11. > :59:17.This morning it was a chilly start. There is a lot of cloud around and

:59:18. > :59:21.some showers. The strongest winds across central and Southern Scotland

:59:22. > :59:25.and northern England. Here we have got gusts 40mph to 50mph. They will

:59:26. > :59:28.ease as we go through the day. Through the day, many of the showers

:59:29. > :59:31.will fade and we will see sunshine with highs up to 21 Celsius. Through

:59:32. > :59:35.the evening and overnight, there will be clear skies and a lot of dry

:59:36. > :59:38.weather. Some patchy mist and fog forming across southern areas and

:59:39. > :59:43.then we have got weather fronts coming in across Northern Ireland,

:59:44. > :59:45.Western Scotland, north-west England and north-west Wales introducing

:59:46. > :59:49.rain. Through the course of tomorrow, that rain will turn more

:59:50. > :59:53.showery as it advances north-east wards, but with high pressure in the

:59:54. > :59:58.south, things remain fairly settled with a fair bit of sunshine and

:59:59. > :00:02.temperatures climbing nicely, we are looking at highs around 23 Celsius,

:00:03. > :00:05.18 Celsius in the north and then as we head on into Wednesday, with high

:00:06. > :00:10.pressure firmly in charge, it's going to be a sunny and a warm day

:00:11. > :00:13.in the south. Highs 26 Celsius, possibly 27 Celsius, as we drift

:00:14. > :00:16.further north, there will be more cloud and once again, we will have

:00:17. > :00:18.rain, flirting with the north-west, which will peg the temperatures

:00:19. > :00:32.back. It is 10am, as Duke can hear from

:00:33. > :00:34.Big Ben! Come to the programme. -- as you can here.

:00:35. > :00:37.It's just one week to go before the Brexit negotiations start,

:00:38. > :00:39.but instead the Prime Minister's having to focus on shoring up

:00:53. > :01:03.what can we learn from The clear message, both from Brexit

:01:04. > :01:08.and from so many young people voting, is that people are fed up of

:01:09. > :01:16.business as normal. They don't want the political elite, of which I'm

:01:52. > :01:54.backbench Conservative MPs and set out her case for staying

:02:32. > :02:33.talk about the leadership, as it were, as the height of

:02:34. > :02:37.self-indulgence. You know, the British people have given us an

:02:38. > :02:42.instruction, a result we wouldn't have chosen ourselves, but they have

:02:43. > :02:45.given as and instruction. It is our job to get business through the

:06:56. > :07:01.to see you. Not far away from number ten. Theresa May is presumably

:07:02. > :07:05.working out what she is going to say to her Conservative backbenchers.

:07:06. > :07:11.She is going to have to persuade them that she is the right person to

:07:12. > :07:17.keep going with Brexit, but what kind of Brexit will it be? So many

:07:18. > :07:19.questions they will have for her when she meets the 1922 Committee.

:07:20. > :07:22.Theresa May will face questions about her leadership and campaign

:07:30. > :07:31.Her first big parliamentary test for the minority Government

:07:32. > :07:35.will come at the end of the month when MPs vote on the Queen's Speech,

:07:36. > :07:36.that's the Government's legislative programme -

:07:37. > :07:39.a list of all the laws the Prime Minister hopes to get

:07:40. > :07:42.through Parliament in the coming year, which the Queen will set out

:07:43. > :07:48.The thinking is she is going to have to junk quite a lot from the

:07:49. > :07:57.manifesto if she is going to do the deal with the DUP.

:07:58. > :08:00.If she stays in her job, Theresa May's first big test

:08:01. > :08:05.will come next week with the Queen's Speech.

:08:06. > :08:08.It should be a time of celebration for the winner, where the Queen

:08:09. > :08:10.gets to tell the nation how her new Government

:08:11. > :08:15.will put all those election promises into action.

:08:16. > :08:16.My Government will legislate to reform...

:08:17. > :08:26.First, the Conservatives are eight seats short

:08:27. > :08:29.of a majority in Parliament, which means the other parties could

:08:30. > :08:33.They are trying to form a Government at the moment,

:08:34. > :08:36.I've no idea what they're going to put into the

:08:37. > :08:39.Queen's Speech, no idea what their stance is going to be

:08:40. > :08:43.That is, unless ten MPs from the DUP in Northern Ireland

:08:44. > :08:48.Possible, but probably only after some concessions.

:08:49. > :08:50.That could mean more money for Northern Ireland,

:08:51. > :08:53.or a promise that Brexit won't mean strict border controls

:08:54. > :09:00.But Theresa May has a bigger problem.

:09:01. > :09:02.The Conservative manifesto itself is widely seen as a disaster,

:09:03. > :09:08.That manifesto now must go down as one of the most

:09:09. > :09:12.disastrous political documents in British history.

:09:13. > :09:14.And that, believe it or not, is not an exaggeration.

:09:15. > :09:17.So plans to scale back the triple lock, which guarantees the state

:09:18. > :09:20.pension, could be shelved, as well as the idea to means-test

:09:21. > :09:26.Winter Fuel Payments and changes to social care in England.

:09:27. > :09:29.No majority also means plans for new grammar schools in England

:09:30. > :09:35.and a third runway for Heathrow could be kicked into the long grass.

:09:36. > :09:37.What, though, about the impact on Brexit?

:09:38. > :09:41.For the last year, Theresa May has been talking tough.

:09:42. > :09:45.I couldn't be clearer - Brexit means Brexit.

:09:46. > :09:49.Many think the election result now means she'll have to compromise,

:09:50. > :09:52.maybe trying harder to keep us in the single market

:09:53. > :09:54.and the customs union, maybe even negotiating over the most

:09:55. > :10:00.contentious point, the free movement of people.

:10:01. > :10:02.The problem is, those key EU talks are meant to start

:10:03. > :10:05.in just a week's time, which doesn't give Mrs May much time

:10:06. > :10:12.to rethink her strategy before getting round the table.

:10:13. > :10:14.So what kind of challenges will she face?

:10:15. > :10:16.We can speak now to Anushka Asthana, Political Editor at

:10:17. > :10:20.And Andrew Gimson, who writes for the Conservative Home website

:10:21. > :10:32.Hello, both of you, good morning. How short is the Queen's speech

:10:33. > :10:37.going to be next Monday?! It'll have to be pretty short. Anything that is

:10:38. > :10:41.contentious cannot be in there. Why are you in Government? You are in

:10:42. > :10:44.Government to make policy. It is not all about Brexit. Our frustrating

:10:45. > :10:48.than for the Conservatives that they are going to struggle. I wonder if

:10:49. > :10:52.she called by election not just because of Brexit but because of

:10:53. > :11:03.grammar schools. A lot of people on the backbenchers thought that they

:11:04. > :11:05.might not vote for the grammar is called policy. Well, she wouldn't

:11:06. > :11:07.have a chance of getting that through now. She certainly wouldn't,

:11:08. > :11:10.but it might be a relief. She might be better at being a weak Prime

:11:11. > :11:13.Minister than pretending to be strong. This is an interesting spin!

:11:14. > :11:17.It has only just occurred to me! But it has something to be said for it.

:11:18. > :11:22.People say yes or no, you know a bit in advance what people think, and

:11:23. > :11:25.you can then take people with you. Also her weakness, the other

:11:26. > :11:29.advantage of being weak is that they won't be able to read Greek who to

:11:30. > :11:33.replace her with and they certainly won't want another election. -- they

:11:34. > :11:38.won't be able to agree on who to replace her with. If you are a Prime

:11:39. > :11:42.Minister you can't go on making terrible mistakes by cooking and top

:11:43. > :11:48.with just a couple of advisers in number ten. Do you buy that? I

:11:49. > :11:53.haven't heard that the re-. You heard it here first! This is a

:11:54. > :11:56.divided country, a lot of people voted Tory and a lot of people voted

:11:57. > :12:01.Labour. She is to have to be more mindful about what type of policies

:12:02. > :12:05.the Labour Party would support. Maybe we would get some issues

:12:06. > :12:09.through the Houses of Parliament. There is fear of this revolutionary

:12:10. > :12:12.man from Islington who was about to march on Downing Street and could

:12:13. > :12:16.well be Prime Minister if there hadn't been another election soon.

:12:17. > :12:25.They will all be desperate to avoid that. A number of people, including

:12:26. > :12:31.the Conservatives, seem to be saying, look, it is not if it is

:12:32. > :12:36.when she goes. What are you hearing in terms of timescale? Well, you

:12:37. > :12:40.know, clearly it is a very difficult position she is in. She only needs a

:12:41. > :12:43.handful of people on the backbenchers to oppose her and you

:12:44. > :12:46.are in a real amount of trouble. There are clearly more than a

:12:47. > :12:49.handful of people who are annoyed with Theresa May and the

:12:50. > :12:53.Conservative Party. That said, there appears to be a movement among the

:12:54. > :13:05.MPs to say, look, she should be safer now, we need to get on with

:13:06. > :13:08.the Brexit talks. Maybe she has six months. The problem with that is, do

:13:09. > :13:10.we suddenly have the instability of the leadership contest and maybe a

:13:11. > :13:13.general election in the middle of the Brexit talks. What is your view

:13:14. > :13:15.on that? Boris Johnson wrote in the Sun today, it he is supporting her

:13:16. > :13:18.and everybody else should. He wants to be Prime Minister and leader of

:13:19. > :13:22.the Conservative Party, he is biding his time. An absolute rock of

:13:23. > :13:26.stability and loyalty in these troubled times! If anyone, I can

:13:27. > :13:30.steady the ship... Surely this great ally of Theresa May. I think it will

:13:31. > :13:36.really depend on how it goes with Brexit. I mean, Brexit could be what

:13:37. > :13:43.the Suez Canal crisis was for Anthony Eden. Explained that analogy

:13:44. > :13:48.for our younger viewers was blocked Anthony Eden won an election in

:13:49. > :13:52.1935, he was a glamorous successful figure who took over from church or

:13:53. > :13:57.a lot about the Middle East. He had trouble with Colonel Nasser closing

:13:58. > :14:01.the Suez Canal. He did it in a very underhand way, sending in troops,

:14:02. > :14:05.without the Americans backing us. Then he had to pull out the troops

:14:06. > :14:08.very soon afterwards. It was a sign that Britain was no longer a great

:14:09. > :14:12.power. Terrible humiliation and he went on here in the grounds of

:14:13. > :14:15.ill-health but really because his great credibility that he had built

:14:16. > :14:21.up ever since he opposed Hitler had been thrown away by opposing this

:14:22. > :14:24.effectively this Egyptian. What circumstances would Boris Johnson

:14:25. > :14:28.need to be in the middle of two months kind of leadership challenge?

:14:29. > :14:34.The party would have to want him. I would be surprised if he mounts a

:14:35. > :14:37.challenge like Michael Heseltine. Heseltine got rid of Margaret

:14:38. > :14:41.Thatcher but didn't wear the crown. I think he will be very, very

:14:42. > :14:45.anxious. He will want the party to want him, and maybe they weren't,

:14:46. > :14:49.maybe they will want somebody else. Riding in a horse when somebody else

:14:50. > :14:54.has triggered the election. He is not very good at writing! Who has a

:14:55. > :15:03.view about whether they would want or not want Boris Johnson as, you

:15:04. > :15:07.are a green voter, said Gazala is the Tories want to lose an election

:15:08. > :15:11.even worse, Boris Johnson is the man to do it! Is people rejected Theresa

:15:12. > :15:13.May, Boris Johnson is far worse and even less credible than she is even

:15:14. > :15:21.today. Let me ask some Conservative voters.

:15:22. > :15:26.Let's hear from Andrea, a Conservative voter? I don't think I

:15:27. > :15:30.would be following Boris Johnson. Why? I just think, I don't think he

:15:31. > :15:35.did very well as a Foreign Secretary. I don't think I need to

:15:36. > :15:41.say more than that. Many of the things that went before would make

:15:42. > :15:45.him unsuitable. Is there anyone here who would suggest Boris Johnson as

:15:46. > :15:53.leader of the Conservative Party and British Prime Minister? I'm a Labour

:15:54. > :15:57.voter, but I see the appeal of Boris. It would be good for the

:15:58. > :16:02.Conservative Party to have a big character who is different from

:16:03. > :16:13.Theresa May. Would it be advantageous to Labour? Boris knows

:16:14. > :16:24.how to win elections. I think he has some qualities. You are a

:16:25. > :16:28.Conservative voter. I think he is playing the whole Brexit thing gets

:16:29. > :16:32.down played and if we are looking at Jeremy Corbyn to get the swell of

:16:33. > :16:36.popular vote then why wouldn't he? Anyone else on Boris Johnson? I

:16:37. > :16:41.agree as a Conservative voter that in fact, Boris Johnson, he jokes

:16:42. > :16:46.around and all this, but we mustn't dismiss him as an extremely clever

:16:47. > :16:53.politician and very experienced politician and therefore, as we say,

:16:54. > :16:58.if Jeremy Corbyn could have so many votes, I cannot see why Boris

:16:59. > :17:02.Johnson can't. OK. Let me ask both of you about the Scottish

:17:03. > :17:06.Conservative leader, Ruth Davidson and her influence on Theresa May

:17:07. > :17:11.when it comes to Brexit. Just outline for our audience the

:17:12. > :17:14.differences between Ruth Davidson's approach to Brexit and Theresa May's

:17:15. > :17:19.and why Ruth Davidson has this approach? She is a centrist

:17:20. > :17:21.politician. She is the sort of person who would appeal

:17:22. > :17:25.across-the-board including to some Labour voters. Scotland is a country

:17:26. > :17:29.in which people actually want to see more immigration because it's really

:17:30. > :17:33.important that they don't have a decline in population and Ruth

:17:34. > :17:36.Davidson is a huge advocate for soft Brexit, although briefly she was one

:17:37. > :17:41.of the big voices against Brexit in the first place and she has got some

:17:42. > :17:47.very important MPs up there who Theresa May needs, even more than

:17:48. > :17:49.she needs those DUP MPs. So what Ruth Davidson says in terms of

:17:50. > :17:55.shifting towards a softer Brexit is going to be very, very important and

:17:56. > :18:01.I did notice the Brexit secretary dfs saying the Tory position was not

:18:02. > :18:06.that different to the Labour position. There was one issue, it

:18:07. > :18:13.was how far you're prepared to go on immigration. Andrew? Has wrecked the

:18:14. > :18:17.careers of Tory leaders for decades and it could still wreck Theresa

:18:18. > :18:20.May's position because the party is very deeply split on this and

:18:21. > :18:25.particularly on the immigration stuff and she knows some of the

:18:26. > :18:27.immigration stuff goes down well to the Labour voters who she was hoping

:18:28. > :18:33.to attract over to the Conservatives. To soften on that,

:18:34. > :18:36.she refused to do it obtwofrt students would be a big thing. Ruth

:18:37. > :18:41.Davidson and others might force her to do that. Thank you both very

:18:42. > :18:53.much. Thank you for your time, Andrew, from the Conservative Home

:18:54. > :18:56.website and Annouska. We have the Queen's Speech next Monday where the

:18:57. > :19:02.Queen will set out on behalf of Theresa May and her minority

:19:03. > :19:07.Government the legislation that the Conservatives will try and get

:19:08. > :19:13.through the Commons. The thinking that some of the manifesto will have

:19:14. > :19:18.to be dumped because the DUP have different views on means-testing the

:19:19. > :19:23.winter fuel allowance and the triple-lock, what do you think is

:19:24. > :19:27.vital for Theresa May to keep in the Queen's Speech and what should she

:19:28. > :19:31.dump? Let's hear from the back row. If you look at the triple-lock

:19:32. > :19:36.pensions for instance, in many as in the short-term that may do her well

:19:37. > :19:41.in term of getting the coalition together, however in the long-term

:19:42. > :19:46.it may increase the inequality which by the looks of the jump in the

:19:47. > :19:53.Labour vote hadn't done the Conservatives well particularly in

:19:54. > :19:59.London where the generational issue he have department. What should she

:20:00. > :20:05.keep and what should she dump I have read the Tory manifesto and there is

:20:12. > :20:16.silly social stuff, but the economic side of it agree with. What about

:20:17. > :20:21.her approach to Brexit, do you think it will have to change as a result

:20:22. > :20:26.of her doing deals with the DUP? Since the vote I have been really

:20:27. > :20:30.worried and people putting buzzwords, hard Brexit, soft Brexit,

:20:31. > :20:34.it is not true. We either leave or we don't and it is a hard stance to

:20:35. > :20:38.get and I understand they are trying to win people over, but that is

:20:39. > :20:43.what's going to happen at the end of the day and I think we're moving

:20:44. > :20:47.towards remaining a member and I'm worried about it. Really? You think

:20:48. > :20:51.we're going to stay in the European Union? We will probably leave in

:20:52. > :20:54.name only. OK. Does anyone else think that's a possibility, we might

:20:55. > :20:59.end up staying in the European Union? Yes. I do. Is that because

:21:00. > :21:03.you want that to happen? Well, I suppose it's wishful thinking and I

:21:04. > :21:05.don't see how you can just completely leave and nobody really

:21:06. > :21:10.knows what they voted for. They voted for all the half-hearted ideas

:21:11. > :21:13.of what it may or may not be and even now we still don't know hat

:21:14. > :21:18.Government's position is and the Labour Party has been wishy-washy

:21:19. > :21:21.and in the middle. As a Green voter, most of us wanted to remain because

:21:22. > :21:24.we thought we needed to stick together. The world is in a terrible

:21:25. > :21:29.state and we need to be working with everybody else and not separating

:21:30. > :21:32.ourselves even more. Let me bring in some politicians. Good morning all

:21:33. > :21:36.of you. We have Vince Cable, Sir Vince Cable, who is a Liberal

:21:37. > :21:41.Democrat. As you know former Secretary of State for business,

:21:42. > :21:45.innovation and skills and he won again in Twickenham, regained it. We

:21:46. > :21:51.have Conservative a MP, who is in favour of Brexit and as voted in

:21:52. > :21:55.again on Thursday and we have the SNP spokesperson on Brexit and you

:21:56. > :22:04.won by two votes on Thursday night. They all count! Wow. Wracking and

:22:05. > :22:07.you are calling for a pause in Brexit negotiations? Well, I don't

:22:08. > :22:12.think anybody can pretend that the election didn't happen. We are in a

:22:13. > :22:17.changed set of circumstances. One of the mistakes that Theresa May made

:22:18. > :22:21.was to try not to reach out to other parties and other points of view.

:22:22. > :22:28.Defining a relationship with Europe has an impact on every area and

:22:29. > :22:32.every person, and not working with devolved administrations... Well,

:22:33. > :22:36.the clock is ticking? The clock was ticking when the election was

:22:37. > :22:40.called. It does look bizarrely irresponsible does it not to trigger

:22:41. > :22:43.Article 50, the process of leaving the European Union that two year

:22:44. > :22:47.timetable, and then call a general election? I think they are very

:22:48. > :22:51.separate. We had a referendum which had a clear decisive result. We are

:22:52. > :22:55.not tacking about the referendum? And then we triggered Article 50 and

:22:56. > :22:58.there was the issue of a general election where she sought a mandate.

:22:59. > :23:02.People were saying she hadn't got her own mandate last year and it was

:23:03. > :23:06.an entirely legitimate thing to call that election. Is she a lame duck

:23:07. > :23:11.now? I don't think so. How is she not a lame duck? You look at the

:23:12. > :23:16.numbers, the Conservative MPs are more than the Labour, SNP and the

:23:17. > :23:21.liberals put together so they are clearly in the lead and it is

:23:22. > :23:24.customary to have the leader of the leading party to form a Government

:23:25. > :23:29.and I think she can do so. She will be be Holden to the Democratic

:23:30. > :23:35.Unionist Party for almost everything? We have 318 MPs which is

:23:36. > :23:39.similar to what we got in 2015. It is 30 fewer than when you called the

:23:40. > :23:43.snap election? There is a basis for having a Government. Steve would

:23:44. > :23:47.remember the SNP had a minority Government only ten years ago and

:23:48. > :23:51.they lasted four years and got re-elected When we were a minority

:23:52. > :23:54.Government we had to reach out to other political parties and had to

:23:55. > :23:58.make come employee mises and that's something Westminster is not used

:23:59. > :24:04.to, it is something Holyrood is used to. We had a coalition Government

:24:05. > :24:08.and it lasted. There has to be a change in the attitudes to reaching

:24:09. > :24:13.out and especially on the European issue. Vince Cable, is Theresa May a

:24:14. > :24:19.lame duck? She has created this mess and she should stay and clear it up

:24:20. > :24:23.and she has won this election and I don't think the country should be

:24:24. > :24:28.held to ransom because of internal feuding in the Tory Party. She is

:24:29. > :24:32.the Prime Minister. She should get on and as we just heard, reach out

:24:33. > :24:36.to other parties and we have got to sort out the mess around Brexit and

:24:37. > :24:40.engaging with the Labour Party and my party and the nationalists trying

:24:41. > :24:43.to form a form of Brexit which is a compromise which keeps the good

:24:44. > :24:48.elements of the European Union, she can make some progress. OK. How

:24:49. > :24:54.should she change her approach to Brexit if at all? Well there are

:24:55. > :24:58.these jargon words about hard and soft Brexit. What I think she has to

:24:59. > :25:02.do or acknowledge that pulling out of the customs union is completely

:25:03. > :25:06.insane. Very damaging. It's particularly damaging to Ireland

:25:07. > :25:09.which is at centre of attention. It is perfectly possible to stay within

:25:10. > :25:13.the single market. To keep all the been fits of that. It's possible to

:25:14. > :25:17.have a degree of management of migration if that's a central issue.

:25:18. > :25:22.Countries like Switzerland do it. So that's the kind of compromise she

:25:23. > :25:27.should be looking at. Do you agree? I don't agree with Vince. I don't

:25:28. > :25:31.think it will be the catastrophe that he sees. Do you think that is a

:25:32. > :25:35.message from some of the electorate saying we didn't like your version

:25:36. > :25:38.of Brexit? We don't know why people vote. People voted on all sorts of

:25:39. > :25:41.issues and Corbyn as I understand the Labour Party's position on

:25:42. > :25:45.Brexit isn't that different from ours. I keep hearing Conservatives

:25:46. > :25:48.say that. There are some difference. John McDonnell himself said we're

:25:49. > :25:54.leaving the single market. He said that yesterday. Could the Brexit

:25:55. > :25:58.question be reopened? It will have to be reopened. We talked about

:25:59. > :26:00.arithmetic in the House of Commons and legislation will have to go

:26:01. > :26:03.through the House of Commons. We don't know what the mood of the

:26:04. > :26:06.House will be and what the whipping arrangements will be. Clearly,

:26:07. > :26:10.that's a matter of debate, but I suspect it won't be that different.

:26:11. > :26:16.I think that Brexit is on track and I think we will get Brexit. The

:26:17. > :26:19.central issue here. We've had three divisive elections in two years. In

:26:20. > :26:23.Scotland they have had four election ins three years. The public are

:26:24. > :26:26.fed-up. They want the political class to sort this out and the last

:26:27. > :26:30.thing we need is a period of upheaval and new elections. That's a

:26:31. > :26:35.no, no and that's why Theresa May, for the moment, has to stay put and

:26:36. > :26:38.organise a stable administration and engage with other parties and listen

:26:39. > :26:43.to the public and produce a new style of politics which very hadn't

:26:44. > :26:46.had for a long time. OK. Critically, they will have to listen because

:26:47. > :26:50.this is a hole new style of politics and every has to be on the table.

:26:51. > :26:54.Does Theresa May know how to listen? I think she will be a capable Prime

:26:55. > :26:58.Minister. I think we will be able to have a stable Government. Judging on

:26:59. > :27:04.the record now? We have 318 MPs which is more than SNP, Labour and

:27:05. > :27:07.liberals put together and we are in a position where we can govern the

:27:08. > :27:10.country. Let's have some views on Theresa May and her character and

:27:11. > :27:14.whether you think she will have to change her approach or listen, what

:27:15. > :27:18.do you say? We're hearing from different MPs about Brexit and what

:27:19. > :27:22.their positions are, but I don't think many MPs have today said that

:27:23. > :27:26.they there should be a coalition and people should come together and make

:27:27. > :27:29.an agreement. There was a hung parliament which means that there

:27:30. > :27:33.are people of the UK are not completely sure of what their own

:27:34. > :27:37.position on Brexit is and that needs to be reflected by the attitude the

:27:38. > :27:41.Government takes. I mean, that's a really good point. A number of

:27:42. > :27:44.people have suggested some kind of cross party Brexit committee. We

:27:45. > :27:49.already have a Brexit Select Committee. Is there a possibility of

:27:50. > :27:53.something bigger involving more people that would reflect the

:27:54. > :27:56.population more accurately? No, I think that approach is necessary.

:27:57. > :28:00.The details are not central whether it is done through a Select

:28:01. > :28:03.Committee or the parties putting people forward or whether you have

:28:04. > :28:07.some citizens involved. I mean that's detail. But the key point of

:28:08. > :28:11.the Prime Minister and her Government now having to engage with

:28:12. > :28:15.other parties and the rest of the UK, very clearly, to form a

:28:16. > :28:20.compromise approach to Brexit, that's now what has to happen. This

:28:21. > :28:23.isn't new. Just before Christmas the Scottish Government put forward a

:28:24. > :28:27.pan UK compromise document to put independence to one side, to look at

:28:28. > :28:30.a document with, you know, remaining members of the single market of the

:28:31. > :28:33.that's the kind of thing we need to get behind and have a committee of

:28:34. > :28:37.experts of the that's something we did from across the political

:28:38. > :28:41.boundaries. Would you support something like that? So any the

:28:42. > :28:44.Government does will have to go through that Parliament and Vince

:28:45. > :28:48.knows being a Parliamentarian for a long time, that getting legislation

:28:49. > :28:51.through Parliament involves compromise and debate and given the

:28:52. > :28:57.numbers, I imagine that there will be debate. There will be a degree of

:28:58. > :29:00.discussion about what we do. The Great Repeal Bill isn't going to

:29:01. > :29:05.involve much repealing. That's the bottom line. It was never about

:29:06. > :29:11.repealing, it was about downloading European legislation. This was

:29:12. > :29:15.ill-defined of the a legacy of vote Leave, a legacy of vote Leave. Hear

:29:16. > :29:20.me out for change. There was a blank piece of paper. Now as a blank piece

:29:21. > :29:25.of paper it is our responsibility to fill in the blanks that vote Leave

:29:26. > :29:30.left. That means that membership of the single marred set has to be open

:29:31. > :29:34.and that's something that is incumbent on all of us to work

:29:35. > :29:40.across political boundaries. More views from here. It's refreshing to

:29:41. > :29:47.hear unity coming through about how we can move forward. Did you hear

:29:48. > :29:51.unity there? The whole thing so far has been about political positioning

:29:52. > :29:55.and winning and losing etcetera, etcetera, whereas a nation we need

:29:56. > :29:58.to come together and sort this out and it is this political

:29:59. > :30:00.childishness where people are squabbling left, right and centre

:30:01. > :30:04.and trying to position themselves into the best possible position,

:30:05. > :30:08.turning from this position to another position. We just heard

:30:09. > :30:11.Chuka Umunna talking about the same thing, he was looking for another

:30:12. > :30:16.job again. It is the same positionment we need to move forward

:30:17. > :30:20.and sort this out as a nation. As grown-ups? As grown-ups, that's all

:30:21. > :30:23.you ever hear. So speaks a Conservative voter. Thank you very

:30:24. > :30:29.much, gentlemen. Thank you for coming on the programme.

:30:30. > :30:34.David Mondal was reappointed Scottish Secretary yesterday.

:30:35. > :30:39.Previously he was the only Scottish MP. He has been speaking the last

:30:40. > :30:44.few minutes. Obviously it is a big change for me. I have spent 12 years

:30:45. > :30:49.in which I have had to agree with myself, now we have some colleagues.

:30:50. > :30:53.We will be looking to make sure that our influence is felt. We played a

:30:54. > :30:57.significant part in ensuring that there is a Conservative minority

:30:58. > :31:02.government after this general election, with a fantastic result in

:31:03. > :31:05.Scotland, winning all of those seats, getting second in the popular

:31:06. > :31:10.vote and putting our vote up so significantly. But what we will want

:36:58. > :37:03.much of the difference do you think that made for Labour? I think it

:37:04. > :37:06.must have made a massive difference. Because young people care about

:37:10. > :37:13.if you give them a chance they care about what is going on. It is great

:37:14. > :37:18.that young people came out and made their voice heard. I agree, I think

:37:22. > :37:25.amount of Indonesia is that you saw from young voters and the amount

:37:26. > :37:28.that came out to register. That has to do with Jeremy Corbyn as a

:37:29. > :37:31.candidate and the kind of Labour Party that he is running, it has

:37:32. > :37:38.offered young people a programme that they can believe in. How old

:37:39. > :37:41.are you? I am 25. OK, what about yourself, in terms of Jeremy Corbyn

:37:48. > :37:54.no politician has done before, which is actually genuinely care. It seems

:37:55. > :37:59.a cliche, but he genuinely does care. He seems as though he's from a

:38:05. > :38:10.that is the background of grime as a whole. He is actually from a

:38:11. > :38:14.middle-class background. That's just human nature, caring, it is

:38:15. > :38:18.something that he is doing. You can see the people that are fake and the

:39:46. > :39:50.But he hasn't been himself? Why not? He is a down-to-earth guy. It is

:39:51. > :39:54.incredibly refreshing to see you guys, especially bringing about an

:39:55. > :39:59.increase in voter turnout. I think regardless of where you sit on the

:40:00. > :40:02.political spectrum, PUA Conservative, Labour, Lib Dem,

:40:03. > :40:07.green, to see young people interested is a great thing for a

:40:08. > :40:12.democracy. I love what Jeremy Corbyn dead. He made me and people I know

:40:13. > :40:17.feel like our voice actually matters -- I love what Jeremy Corbyn did. I

:40:18. > :40:23.don't feel like there is a hung parliament because of us, but maybe

:40:24. > :40:28.if some of us didn't vote then it... How much of it is down to Jeremy

:40:29. > :40:34.Corbyn the man or his policies? The kind of things he put forward in the

:40:35. > :40:39.manifesto? His manifesto related to me as I agreed with. A lot of it was

:40:40. > :40:47.on my Twitter. Seeing him there, and Grime4Corbyn was a winner for me,

:40:48. > :40:53.honestly. I think it was a bit of both. I spoke to Jeremy Corbyn, the

:40:54. > :40:57.date before the election was called. He seemed like such a genuine

:40:58. > :41:02.person, genuinely caring for the people. Theresa May's thing about

:41:03. > :41:08.health for workers, it seemed so random. You don't believe her? No,

:41:09. > :41:12.and I think when Jeremy Corbyn is trying to be for the people, he is

:41:13. > :41:16.trying to be for everybody, not just the people he feels like being four.

:41:17. > :41:21.The Grime4Corbyn made it more aggression for young people to say,

:41:22. > :41:27.OK, let's see what it's about and go out there and actually vote and it

:41:28. > :41:29.obviously worked. You had become interested and engaged in politics

:41:30. > :41:35.because of Jeremy Corbyn? Yes, because... This is the first time I

:41:36. > :41:40.have voted, and Jeremy Corbyn was something different in this country.

:41:41. > :41:46.All our politicians are exactly the same, and he was a new alternative.

:41:47. > :41:48.Whoever is on social media, the young are not engaged because we

:41:49. > :41:54.don't really watch the news, it's all about Twitter and Facebook. That

:41:55. > :41:59.is why I picked Jeremy Corbyn. What's exciting and interesting is

:42:00. > :42:02.that young people are coming out, we have got different personalities

:42:03. > :42:06.with Theresa May, her style, Jeremy Corbyn, his style. Because of the

:42:07. > :42:11.personalities that doesn't mean to say that Theresa May is not

:42:12. > :42:17.interested. You are a Conservative voter? Do you prefer the approach of

:42:18. > :42:21.Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn? I believe that personalities need to

:42:22. > :42:23.blend as much as possible. I'm going to make you pick!

:42:24. > :42:27.LAUGHTER I'm not going to say I prefer Jeremy

:42:28. > :42:31.Corbyn's style because you need a business style when it comes to

:42:32. > :42:35.politics. Jeremy Corbyn is a campaigner. He is a protester, we

:42:36. > :42:38.all know that. But the most important thing is this, that

:42:39. > :42:43.normally people do not actively engage with the young people before

:42:44. > :42:50.elections. After elections. Now we hopes in this process will continue.

:42:51. > :43:01.We will see. Thank you very much, all of you. When the Prime Minister

:43:02. > :43:04.called the election in mid April, according to the polls, the

:43:05. > :43:06.Conservatives had as much as a 21% lead over Jeremy Corbyn and the

:43:07. > :43:09.Labour Party. There was talk of Theresa May winning a majority of a

:43:10. > :43:11.hundred seats or more. Of hammering the opposition. One poll suggested

:43:12. > :43:20.she was more popular than any leader since the 1970s. Yet here we are,

:43:21. > :43:22.less than two months later, and she's clinging to power. Yesterday,

:43:23. > :43:24.The Prime Minister's former cabinet colleague George Osborne said she's

:43:25. > :43:27.a 'dead woman walking.' It's safe to say, for one reason or another, the

:43:28. > :43:30.campaign has been a bit of a 'mare, for Mrs May. Just a quick warning if

:43:31. > :43:35.you're photosensitive - this video has bright flashes in it.

:43:36. > :43:38.I have just chaired a meeting of the Cabinet, where we agreed

:43:39. > :43:40.that the Government should call a general election, to be

:43:41. > :43:56.I've called an election because of Brexit.

:43:57. > :43:58.You've called a general election for the good

:43:59. > :44:02.of the Conservative Party, and it's going to backfire on you.

:44:03. > :44:04.Unless the exit poll is incredibly wrong,

:44:05. > :44:32.the Prime Minister has failed to achieve her principal objective.

:44:33. > :44:52.Can we agree, to start with, that the one thing that voters

:44:53. > :44:55.deserve, in what you yourself have said is going to be a very,

:44:56. > :44:58.very important election, is no sound bites?

:44:59. > :45:05.And there's a reason for talking about strong and stable leadership.

:45:06. > :45:19.Strong, strong, strong and stable leadership under me and my team.

:45:20. > :45:28.We're in one of the most marginal seats in the country here,

:45:29. > :45:30.this is your second visit of the campaign.

:45:31. > :45:32.Are you getting nervous, and do you see Plymouth

:45:33. > :45:36.I'm very clear that this is a crucial election for this country.

:45:37. > :45:43.We need to ensure we get Brexit negotiations right but also

:45:44. > :45:45.have a plan to take this country forward.

:45:46. > :45:46.Plymouth's a very proud Armed Forces city.

:45:47. > :45:50.We're seeing the closure of our naval barracks,

:45:51. > :45:52.the sale of HMS Ocean, 40 Commando taken out of service.

:45:53. > :45:55.Can you guarantee our Armed Forces families that they will be

:45:56. > :45:59.I'm very clear that Plymouth has a proud record of connection

:46:00. > :46:03.A lot of people in Plymouth voted for Brexit because they saw

:46:04. > :46:08.How will your Brexit plan make Plymouth people better off?

:46:09. > :46:10.Well, I think there is a better future ahead for Plymouth

:46:11. > :46:15.There are opportunities when we leave the European Union,

:46:16. > :46:17.but we need to have the right Government in place,

:46:18. > :46:21.the right plan to grasp those opportunities.

:46:22. > :46:23.I trust the British public, I'm asking them

:46:24. > :46:31.Have you heard they've called an election?

:46:32. > :46:33.Yes, and I don't think they should have done.

:46:34. > :46:37.Oh, for God's sake, I can't, honestly, I can't stand this.

:46:38. > :46:53.Well, let's look at social care for the elderly.

:46:54. > :46:56.Four days ago your manifesto rejected a cap on social care costs.

:46:57. > :46:59.Today you've announced a cap. That sounds pretty half-baked.

:47:00. > :47:02.Nothing has changed from the principles on social care

:47:03. > :47:09.policy that we set out in our manifesto.

:47:10. > :47:12.You've backtracked on your social care policy and your entire

:47:13. > :47:17.manifesto has holes in it, and everyone else can see that.

:47:18. > :47:20.A Tory U-turn on social care would be extremely welcome,

:47:21. > :47:25.because I want this country to face up to its responsibilities.

:47:26. > :47:28.She wants to be strong and stable, the Prime Minister that is steely

:47:29. > :47:34.and determined and has resolve, but the toing and froing

:47:35. > :47:36.and U-turning and irascibility in press conferences,

:47:37. > :47:38.all that corrupts exactly the kind of brand of leadership

:47:39. > :47:44.that she wants to make her biggest asset.

:47:45. > :47:47.What's the naughtiest thing you ever did?

:47:48. > :47:59.Nobody's ever perfectly behaved, are they?

:48:00. > :48:02.I have to confess when me and my friends used to run

:48:03. > :48:04.through the fields of wheat, the farmers weren't too

:48:05. > :48:30.Many former MPs compare losing their seats to a "bereavement" -

:48:31. > :48:33.for many serving the country has been their lifetime ambition

:48:34. > :48:45.and the manner in which they lose can be pretty brutal.

:48:46. > :48:48.In politics, you live by the sword and you die by the sword.

:48:49. > :48:50.I am standing down today as the leader of Ukip,

:48:51. > :48:53.Proud to be part of the United Kingdom.

:48:54. > :48:55.Zac Goldsmith is duly elected as Member of Parliament

:48:56. > :49:03.It's easy to be wise after the event.

:49:04. > :49:07.I knew it would be a challenge in my seat, and, as I say,

:49:08. > :49:11.it's been a huge privilege to represent it.

:49:12. > :49:13.I'd like to say thank you to my family, to my mum,

:49:14. > :49:58.Neil Carmichael is here. You lost your seat and you blame Theresa May.

:49:59. > :50:00.Sarah Olney, who was a Liberal Democrat MP

:50:01. > :50:03.for only six months before losing her seat back

:50:04. > :50:05.to Conservative Zac Goldsmith, and Conservative Rob Wilson,

:50:06. > :50:08.who was charities minister and MP for Reading East until Labour took

:50:09. > :50:11.Also with us to offer some advice Angela Smith

:50:12. > :50:13.who lost her labour seat of Penistone and

:50:14. > :50:22.Basildon. The MP for Stockbridge is still

:50:23. > :50:29.there. You haven't got the wrong guest, have you? Famous a power

:50:30. > :50:33.station and track for making. You blame Theresa May. Do you blame

:50:34. > :50:36.Theresa May? No, I don't have any bitterness or anger about what

:50:37. > :50:41.happened. How come? Are you not human? Of course, I'm human, but I

:50:42. > :50:44.do want my party to succeed. I want the Government to succeed, I want

:50:45. > :50:49.the Prime Minister to succeed. So there is no point in my having any

:50:50. > :51:00.bitterness, I want to make sure that the Brexit thing happens properly

:51:01. > :51:05.and we get on dealing with the health service. The general election

:51:06. > :51:08.didn't go our wrong. It was probably not the right thing to have done by

:51:09. > :51:11.calling it. The manifesto was not helpful and the tonne of the

:51:12. > :51:15.campaign was unhelpful. But there are opportunities. You pointed out

:51:16. > :51:19.I'm a Remainor and I have noted already there is a focus on moving

:51:20. > :51:26.away from hard Brexit towards something more sensible and I intend

:51:27. > :51:29.to play my part in making sure that move is entrenched and we do get a

:51:30. > :51:34.proper deal for Britain because I don't want to wake up one day and

:51:35. > :51:40.discover we've left the European Union at skyline is hot with fire as

:51:41. > :51:44.the bridges of burnt. That would be a disaster. Sarah, in your vic tread

:51:45. > :51:48.speech not long ago, you said winning the seat had sent shockwaves

:51:49. > :51:53.through Theresa May's Brexit policy. What does you losing your seat so

:51:54. > :51:56.quickly mean? I don't think it changes that much. In the

:51:57. > :52:01.by-election I was standing against Zac as an independent, but this time

:52:02. > :52:03.he was standing as a Conservative. The Conservative pitch was very much

:52:04. > :52:07.strong and stable leadership. In the time I was in Parliament, Article 50

:52:08. > :52:11.got triggered. People were feeling there was no way back from Brexit

:52:12. > :52:13.and I think those people who voted in my constituency for the

:52:14. > :52:17.Conservative Party, because they thought that was the best way to

:52:18. > :52:21.make sure that we got a strong negotiating hand I think a lot of

:52:22. > :52:25.those people will be feeling very disappointed. Are you any of you

:52:26. > :52:29.pessimistic, depressed down, thinking oh my god, I have got to

:52:30. > :52:31.fin a job? Yeah, of course, the realisation hits you the following

:52:32. > :52:35.morning that you have got to find something to do because your diary

:52:36. > :52:42.is packed full of engagements and things and all of a sudden it has

:52:43. > :52:50.all gone. Angela? If you're doing your job properly, every day is

:52:51. > :52:55.packed and then suddenly it stops and you're emotionally and

:52:56. > :53:00.physically drained, but there is life after the House of Commons.

:53:01. > :53:04.They have gained experience and the people they have met, but it is a

:53:05. > :53:07.very public loss. You stand up there in front of people and some who

:53:08. > :53:12.haven't supported you and you say, "I've lost." That does take its

:53:13. > :53:16.toll. Families worry about the ex-MPs as well. Don't get down

:53:17. > :53:20.hearted about it. Some MPs come back to the House of Commons because they

:53:21. > :53:24.want to, but most get on. A friend of my who lost her seat in 2010 said

:53:25. > :53:27.I discovered something. It is a thing called six o'clock. What do

:53:28. > :53:32.you mean? Lots of people get home from six o'clock and put the news on

:53:33. > :53:35.and cook their tea at six o'clock. MPs never do that. Do you want

:53:36. > :53:39.another quick election so you can have a chance of coming back? I do.

:53:40. > :53:46.Do you? I'm frustrated that I can't get on with the work I was doing

:53:47. > :53:50.before which I have highlighted. Destabilising the country? Let's

:53:51. > :53:53.define early. I think the Prime Minister should be forming a

:53:54. > :53:57.Government. Is forming a Government and I think that Government should

:53:58. > :54:01.be given a chance to get entrenched, but there are risks with DUP, being

:54:02. > :54:05.part of the Government. I think there are issues about the Northern

:54:06. > :54:09.Ireland agreement. Is it Daning throws get into bed with the DUP

:54:10. > :54:13.then? Well, it all depends what you are awe talking about. The peace

:54:14. > :54:18.process? Very dangerous. It makes it very difficult. There are risks here

:54:19. > :54:23.for the Good Friday Agreement and also for the situation ironically

:54:24. > :54:27.with Brexit in terms of the border between Northern Ireland and the

:54:28. > :54:31.Republic. Those are things we have got to keep our eye on and I will be

:54:32. > :54:35.doing that in or out of Parliament. Theresa May didn't have to have this

:54:36. > :54:39.election. I don't think it was an unnecessary election. It backfired,

:54:40. > :54:43.but it was the right call to make actually. I think she called this

:54:44. > :54:46.election and she called primarily because she thought she could win a

:54:47. > :54:50.much bigger majority. She called it because she called it a Brexit

:54:51. > :54:54.election, but it enned up, I think, being the public's opportunity to

:54:55. > :54:58.have their say on public spending, public services, austerity, and I

:54:59. > :55:01.think what will be most frustrating now for members of the public is it

:55:02. > :55:04.will still all the political class are talking about is still Brexit

:55:05. > :55:08.and because it is a weakened Government they are not going to

:55:09. > :55:11.have the opportunity to really implement some of those spending

:55:12. > :55:14.changes that the public really want to see. I do think while the public

:55:15. > :55:18.might think I don't want another election to get a strong Government,

:55:19. > :55:21.not Theresa May's current Government, whatever it might look

:55:22. > :55:25.like, but a strong Government in power would be in the best interests

:55:26. > :55:28.of the British public. I'm going to leave it there. Thank you very much

:55:29. > :55:32.for your patience as well. We wish you all the best. Thank you and I

:55:33. > :55:34.will be back again. He is determined to be back againment he can't wait

:55:35. > :55:36.for the next election. This election has led

:55:37. > :55:44.to the most diverse bunch There are now more women, more gay

:55:45. > :55:49.MPs, more MPs with disabilities, more ethnic minority MPs

:55:50. > :56:08.than ever before. There was a boy who went to his

:56:09. > :56:14.career advisors at school and the careers advisor said what do you

:56:15. > :56:17.want to be when you're grown up and that 15-year-old with cerebral palsy

:56:18. > :56:20.said I want to be a politician. That boy is me. Is duly elected to serve

:56:21. > :56:40.as the MP for Battersea. Let's speak now to two

:56:41. > :56:54.of the new MPs breaking boundaries. Tanmanjeet Singh Desi,

:56:55. > :56:56.or Tan as he's known, the first turban-wearing Sikh

:56:57. > :57:05.MP, he too is Labour. How are you feeling? It is history

:57:06. > :57:08.in the making. While British Sikhs and Sikhs further afield would have

:57:09. > :57:13.their own high expectations, I am aware that I am the MP for Slough so

:57:14. > :57:21.their hopes and aspirations are, you know, my primary concern. Leyla? It

:57:22. > :57:25.was a snap election. We were getting on with other parts of our lives and

:57:26. > :57:30.it's interesting that my background has come to the fore now, but that

:57:31. > :57:34.wasn't my platform. My platform was about the NHS and education and

:57:35. > :57:39.being the best possible area for my area and that's what I intend to do.

:57:40. > :57:43.In terms of your brack ground, what do you hope to bring to the Commons

:57:44. > :57:47.as a result of that briefly? Well, one thing is, I think the brightly

:57:48. > :57:52.coloured turbans and there should be a splash of colour in there, but

:57:53. > :57:57.working in the true Sikh ethos which is working for the betterment of

:57:58. > :58:05.all. That's how I will seek to serve. I think we are in amazing

:58:06. > :58:08.times in politics and to have different prospectives adding to

:58:09. > :58:12.that debate, I think, can only be a good thing. OK. Thank you very much,

:58:13. > :58:16.both of you and congratulations. Thank you very much to our audience.

:58:17. > :58:20.You have been marvellous. Thank you for giving up your Monday morning.

:58:21. > :58:22.Give yourselves a round of applause thank you. We're back tomorrow at

:58:23. > :58:25.9am. Have a good day.
