:00:24. > :00:33.Hello and welcome to the election wrap. Climb-down, clarification or
:00:34. > :00:52.U-turn. You choose. Nothing changed, says Theresa May. And social care.
:00:53. > :00:56.A Labour big beast makes fun of the Tory change of heart,
:00:57. > :00:58.with Jeremy Corbyn, bringing forward plans to scrap university tuition
:00:59. > :01:03.as the SNP prepares to serve up a tasty, deilccious , delectable
:01:04. > :01:13.The deadline to register to vote on June 8th, is one minute
:01:14. > :01:24.And, with expert analysis.
:01:25. > :01:26.For the the many, not the few, Nigel Nelson Political
:01:27. > :01:29.Editor at the Sunday Mirror and Sunday People, and the Political
:01:30. > :01:32.Let's catch up on the latest developments on the campaign trail.
:01:33. > :01:35.Theresa May is being accused of making a "major U-turn"
:01:36. > :01:37.in her plans to reform the funding of social care in England.
:01:38. > :01:39.But, tonight she denied anything of the sort,
:01:40. > :01:43.in an interview with the BBC's Andrew Neil.
:01:44. > :01:45.But Labour says the lady is for turning.
:01:46. > :01:48.And the Conservatives can't be trusted.
:01:49. > :01:54.We have not rewritten the manifesto, the principles upon which it is
:01:55. > :01:58.written remain the same, we need to ensure that we have long-term
:01:59. > :02:01.sustainability and social care, we need to be able to ensure that we
:02:02. > :02:07.can fund social care for the future, we are doing the honest thing in
:02:08. > :02:12.putting a proposal to the British people. How is it honest to reject a
:02:13. > :02:17.cap in your manifesto and four days later say, we are going to have a
:02:18. > :02:22.cap, what is honest about that?! What we set out in the manifesto was
:02:23. > :02:26.a series of principles, to say to people, first of all, this is a big
:02:27. > :02:30.issue, we need to address it and we are being honest that we must fix
:02:31. > :02:34.it, and that is what I want to do, I am not going to play politics with
:02:35. > :02:38.it, very my head in the sand, that is what Jeremy Corbyn does with it.
:02:39. > :02:51.No, you are just going to change or mind on it, apparently. This woman
:02:52. > :02:54.is already doing another U-turn! She decided it wasn't parliament that
:02:55. > :02:58.decided her view. John Prescott today. Jeremy Corbyn has pressed
:02:59. > :03:03.fast forward on plans to scrap tuition fees, saying he will scrap
:03:04. > :03:07.them for university students in England this autumn. He says the
:03:08. > :03:11.Conservatives have helped students back for too long by helping to
:03:12. > :03:15.travel tuition fees to more than ?9,000 a year, the Labour leader
:03:16. > :03:19.would like to live the cloud of debt, as he puts it, by making it
:03:20. > :03:28.free for people to study at university in England. If we carry
:03:29. > :03:31.on with this process of ever rising fares, a threat of lifting the cap
:03:32. > :03:36.altogether, what happens? Two things, one, those that have
:03:37. > :03:40.achieved enough to get into university, gone through university,
:03:41. > :03:45.leave with debts of often ?50,000 and more than that. If they earn
:03:46. > :03:49.more than ?21,000, they have to start repaying it, but the debt is
:03:50. > :03:54.still there for a long time after that. I'm determined that university
:03:55. > :04:01.education should be available for all.
:04:02. > :04:08.Not the best of days for Theresa May. All the polls were coming out
:04:09. > :04:12.in the Sunday papers yesterday, it is embarrassing, it is a U-turn, I
:04:13. > :04:16.thought about bringing in a handbrake so we could all have a go,
:04:17. > :04:21.she's beginning to sound a little bit like Bob the builder, I'll fix
:04:22. > :04:26.it, fix it. You have to go through this 24, 48 hours, it's
:04:27. > :04:32.embarrassing, but there is no way around it. She has done a U-turn.
:04:33. > :04:36.The problem is not so much the social care policy, it is, one would
:04:37. > :04:40.hope, there is a serious grown-up debate about it, but it is the
:04:41. > :04:46."strong and stable" looks like wobbling... That is the key,
:04:47. > :04:51.chipping away that the edifice she herself put up, of being the strong
:04:52. > :04:56.leader. "Strong and stable" is a real problem for her, she now looks
:04:57. > :04:59.weak and feeble, and that will haunt her through the rest of the
:05:00. > :05:05.campaign. I think also, the policy itself is a problem, she is going to
:05:06. > :05:10.have to come up with a figure for the cap at some point. You're not
:05:11. > :05:18.going anywhere! You are both locked down here. No U-turns from you! So
:05:19. > :05:20.is it a cap, a floor, a change of heart? Chris Morris has been trying
:05:21. > :05:25.to get to the bottom of today's Conservative social care
:05:26. > :05:29.announcement. Social care was away is going to be a big issue, now it
:05:30. > :05:33.is front and centre in a big political row. Last week, the
:05:34. > :05:38.Conservative manifesto proposed that anybody receiving long-term social
:05:39. > :05:41.care in England would be allowed to keep ?100,000 of their assets
:05:42. > :05:45.including the value of their home, and no one would have to sell the
:05:46. > :05:49.family home to pay for care in their lifetime, that is much aimed. But
:05:50. > :05:53.last week the Conservatives also ruled out introducing any cap, or
:05:54. > :06:00.maximum amount that anyone would be asked to pay for social care, once
:06:01. > :06:19.the first hundred thousand had been taken into consideration.
:06:20. > :06:24.Andrew Dilnot suggested there should be a cap on how much anybody has to
:06:25. > :06:29.pay for care, in 2015, Tory manifesto supported the idea of a
:06:30. > :06:37.cap which was set to be 72,000 at that point. When asked about a
:06:38. > :06:42.proposed cap now, in 2017, this is what Jeremy Hunt told the BBC last
:06:43. > :06:44.Thursday. Not only are we dropping it, we are dropping it ahead of the
:06:45. > :06:48.general election, we are being completely explicit in the manifesto
:06:49. > :06:51.that we are dropping it, we are dropping it because we have looked
:06:52. > :06:56.again at the proposal and we don't think it is fair. Queue several days
:06:57. > :07:00.of awkward conversations on the doorsteps for Conservative candidate
:07:01. > :07:03.and four days later, a rather different message from the Prime
:07:04. > :07:06.Minister, we will make sure, she said today, there will be an
:07:07. > :07:11.absolute limit on what people will need to pay for care. -- cue. In
:07:12. > :07:15.other words, there will be a cap, but there is no indication of the
:07:16. > :07:19.level at which it might be set. If the cap fits, you've got to wear it,
:07:20. > :07:26.what has prompted this change of heart?
:07:27. > :07:31.Look at the Sunday Times front page, Tory wobble, as cuts for elderly
:07:32. > :07:37.slash lead. The paper had a YouGov poll which
:07:38. > :07:42.cut the advanatge to just 9 percent. "The dementia tax backlash"
:07:43. > :07:46.was the lead for the Mail on Sunday and it had a separate
:07:47. > :07:49.poll, by Survation, which suggested the Tories' lead had
:07:50. > :07:51.slipped by 5 points. But it's not just the polls
:07:52. > :07:53.and the front pages. There had been reports that
:07:54. > :07:56.Mrs May's social care policy had been getting a lukewarm reception
:07:57. > :07:59.on the doorstep over the weekend, something the PM found out
:08:00. > :08:14.for herself yesterday: I haven't looked into it in detail
:08:15. > :08:20.but I was thinking about what your manifesto has to say about the old
:08:21. > :08:24.people's savings. Is this the kind of problem that a leader in counters
:08:25. > :08:27.because they are so far ahead in the polls? A bit of that, she felt
:08:28. > :08:30.comfortable enough to be able to go and do this because you would have
:08:31. > :08:37.been as vague as you possibly could and assuming you win power, you
:08:38. > :08:41.would do it, partly the idea that she is invincible but it has turned
:08:42. > :08:45.out she has not been invincible, it has gone down to single figures, a
:08:46. > :08:48.huge drop from where she was, looking at a massive majority, three
:08:49. > :08:52.figures, the other danger is, imagine what a three figure majority
:08:53. > :08:59.would be, you would not have U-turns like this, the idea would come up
:09:00. > :09:05.and she would carry it out. Labour are still way back. Yes, we have a
:09:06. > :09:07.long way to go, and it feels like an endless treadmill, for people out
:09:08. > :09:12.campaigning on the doorstep, anything could happen, there are
:09:13. > :09:16.always blips, there are always stumbles during election campaigns,
:09:17. > :09:20.this happens to be a spectacular one because of the U-turn. It will not
:09:21. > :09:25.be the first time that the polls may be wrong, they will change again by
:09:26. > :09:29.the weekend, I've no doubt, Labour have yet to come up with anything
:09:30. > :09:36.other than motherhood and apple pie and lollipops for everyone. That is
:09:37. > :09:39.appealing to people. What is interesting is there was a poll at
:09:40. > :09:42.the weekend, we talked about it Saturday night, which showed that
:09:43. > :09:49.Jeremy Corbyn, for the first time, had actually got a slightly better
:09:50. > :09:51.poll rating for personal rating in terms of leadership qualities... I
:09:52. > :10:01.can't remember what the question was. It was about ordinary
:10:02. > :10:04.qualities. On a personal level low, we have just seen a set piece
:10:05. > :10:08.interview from Theresa May, very in control, we know how it works,
:10:09. > :10:13.people on the doorsteps will be dealing with their prospective MPs
:10:14. > :10:17.and candidates and Jeremy Corbyn is apparently doing quite well in
:10:18. > :10:23.face-to-face stuff, I think there is everything to play for. Who knows
:10:24. > :10:28.what else might happen. A U-turn like this as far as I can see is
:10:29. > :10:30.unique in a general election, I cannot remember anybody else ever
:10:31. > :10:36.going back on a policy from a manifesto. It is not just the
:10:37. > :10:41.supreme confidence that you could go to your core voters, your reliable
:10:42. > :10:45.older voters and do something like that, because you could have still
:10:46. > :10:50.done it and said we are going to have a green paper in the autumn, to
:10:51. > :10:54.look at, you did not have to lay it out in the manifesto, I think what
:10:55. > :10:57.is happening, we are hearing from government and party is all the
:10:58. > :11:03.time, a small group of people who are doing stuff and they are not
:11:04. > :11:07.asking around, and nobody is saying, do you think how this will play?
:11:08. > :11:11.Nobody is having difficult conversation before they go public.
:11:12. > :11:14.So what do those people who receive care and those who provide it,
:11:15. > :11:18.Our East Midlands Health Correspondent Rob Sissons has been
:11:19. > :11:21.speaking to some of those who'd be affected:
:11:22. > :11:29.I found I was decimated by the war. -- my father was decimated by the
:11:30. > :11:32.war. My father and four brothers were all killed in action. When you
:11:33. > :11:36.get older, you get worried about things like that. The state should
:11:37. > :11:38.pay. In awful lot of people have made that much money and could
:11:39. > :11:47.afford to look after themselves. such a tricky area and it has been
:11:48. > :11:51.going downhill for years. If we are going to the nitty-gritty, it is
:11:52. > :11:57.difficult. Things change in five years. We will be long gone.
:11:58. > :11:59.Means testing for winter fuel payments, getting rid of school
:12:00. > :12:08.lunches. Triple lock down to a double lock,
:12:09. > :12:15.are these policies put forward precisely because the Conservatives
:12:16. > :12:19.are convinced they are going to win? Yes, or they were at the time, the
:12:20. > :12:23.one thing you can do by sticking to the manifesto is you do not have any
:12:24. > :12:26.trouble in the House of Lords, the House of Lords will not challenge
:12:27. > :12:33.policies that have been elected on through the manifesto, so that's
:12:34. > :12:36.another reason to do it, but the idea of being quite so detailed
:12:37. > :12:42.about this, it is because at this point she thought, I can lose a few
:12:43. > :12:45.voters, it will be fine, this is a shoo-in, but she did not realise how
:12:46. > :12:50.may voters she would be losing. That is a bit unfair, because some of
:12:51. > :12:52.these things are the difficult conversations we referred to. She
:12:53. > :13:00.said this at the launch of the manifesto. To be honest, if you
:13:01. > :13:05.think, we can't afford this so we will look at it. It is an unusual
:13:06. > :13:11.campaigning strategy! You know the convention, and campaigned in
:13:12. > :13:26.poetry, YouGov and in prose. -- you know the convention, you campaigning
:13:27. > :13:28.poetry, you govern in prose. There is another word we could use but no
:13:29. > :13:37.bad language! Labour also turned their attention
:13:38. > :13:40.to tuition fees today, and one which sank the political
:13:41. > :13:44.aspirations of the Lib Dems after the broken pledge
:13:45. > :13:47.of their 2010 manifesto. Labour says it would bring
:13:48. > :13:49.forward a promise to scrap tuition fees completely,
:13:50. > :13:51.to include students starting This is what Jeremy
:13:52. > :13:56.Corbyn had to say. Since the fees have gone up, under
:13:57. > :13:59.the coalition government, the numbers of working-class youngsters
:14:00. > :14:01.going to university has declined, the number of university
:14:02. > :14:05.applications has started to go down, surely we should be investing in our
:14:06. > :14:12.future, somebody who does not achieve the profession they want,
:14:13. > :14:16.nursing, teaching, medicine in some other form, engineering, whatever it
:14:17. > :14:22.happens to be, they lose out but we as a society lose out because we
:14:23. > :14:26.have lost a qualified person who can help improve industries, improve
:14:27. > :14:30.services. Everyone knew what the answer was to the question, with
:14:31. > :14:40.labour providing the answer, how are you going to pay for this,
:14:41. > :14:45.corporation tax increase. Do bear in mind when people are adding this up
:14:46. > :14:50.that John Donald has got ?250 billion he is going to borrow, and
:14:51. > :14:55.so he can pay for all of the policies. You may not want to see
:14:56. > :14:58.any more borrowing but it is one of the other, lives could be made
:14:59. > :15:02.better and they can afford to do it but it might mean they do not meet
:15:03. > :15:08.deficit targets. They need to say that instead of banging on about...
:15:09. > :15:14.Maybe they should, maybe they should. Why don't they? Why won't
:15:15. > :15:17.they say that? They do not want to admit they are boring, because they
:15:18. > :15:25.know what will come back and haunt them is the borrowing, the tax and
:15:26. > :15:28.spend. In fairness, the tax might actually raise the money, the
:15:29. > :15:33.problem about raising taxes at the higher level is you often don't get
:15:34. > :15:38.the return that you are expecting. You also damage business, if you
:15:39. > :15:41.bring in a corporation tax, if you do the anti-business stuff, any
:15:42. > :15:45.sensible businessman who thinks there will be a Labour government,
:15:46. > :15:49.given "Brexit" as well will be planning for the next two or
:15:50. > :15:53.three... I'm not quite sure about business, they would say the minimum
:15:54. > :15:58.wage will damage them, when it first came in, if they don't like taxes...
:15:59. > :16:02.At the level you are talking about, to raise the money Jeremy Corbyn
:16:03. > :16:06.needs in corporation tax, businesses will be preparing for how they will
:16:07. > :16:10.invest in infrastructure, the extra cost of "Brexit", all of that. The
:16:11. > :16:15.idea that they will sit there and say, that is fine, corporation tax
:16:16. > :16:20.going up... They are not going to say it is fine, any more than
:16:21. > :16:24.anybody else is about anything. I think Labour is being disingenuous
:16:25. > :16:31.by not saying, and we would borrow. Good day for Labour. Very good day.
:16:32. > :16:36.The mere fact that the polls have come down to where they are... This
:16:37. > :16:39.time last week, Jeremy Corbyn looked like he had not got a hope of
:16:40. > :16:41.winning the election at all, today, it looks like he could. All right,
:16:42. > :16:46.OK. So the former Deputy Prime Minister,
:16:47. > :16:58.Lord Prescott, joined Jeremy Corbyn Now remember how many elections I
:16:59. > :17:07.have been around, I have been around a while, remember, 1997, after 18
:17:08. > :17:14.years of Tories, hospitals were collapsing. There was homelessness
:17:15. > :17:18.in our society. Unemployment was high, and we came in and we
:17:19. > :17:28.promised. Did we reduce the unemployment to get people back to
:17:29. > :17:35.work? Yes! Did we do that? Now we are talking! CHEERING
:17:36. > :17:42.Old hands can be useful, even Lord Prescott, remember this from the
:17:43. > :17:46.Scottish referendum campaign. At last, the world is hearing the
:17:47. > :17:51.voices of the real people in Scotland, there is not a cemetery in
:17:52. > :17:54.Europe that does not have Scott 's, Welsh, English and Irish lying
:17:55. > :17:58.side-by-side. Let us tell the Nationalists, this is not their
:17:59. > :18:04.flight, their country, their culture, their streets. -- Scots.
:18:05. > :18:07.This is everyone's flag, everyone's culture, everyone's culture and
:18:08. > :18:08.everyone's streets! That was Gordon Brown speaking
:18:09. > :18:11.the day before the Scottish independence referendum in 2014,
:18:12. > :18:20.some credited him afterwards Lord Prescott was Deputy Prime
:18:21. > :18:25.Minister to Tony Blair, one wonders, with the lukewarm reception, the
:18:26. > :18:27.lukewarm response to John Prescott, when he first asked for people to
:18:28. > :18:38.show appreciation, the achievements of the Blair government, was... The
:18:39. > :18:46.break with old Labour, cementing of new Labour, it was John Prescott who
:18:47. > :18:51.were sent out as Tony Blair's cannon fodder, if you like, to go and say,
:18:52. > :18:59.this is what is going to happen. And were going to get rid of Clause IV.
:19:00. > :19:03.Look at these old hands, they are very good. Doesn't matter which
:19:04. > :19:06.political party they are, they are interesting and funny because the
:19:07. > :19:17.weight of standing for election is completely taken from them. A lot of
:19:18. > :19:26.people on the hard left saw John Prescott as a traitor, because he
:19:27. > :19:29.did the bidding of Tony Blair. Far more comfortable with Jeremy Corbyn
:19:30. > :19:33.than Tony Blair. But he does understand that in order to win, you
:19:34. > :19:37.have two... 20 years since he punched a voter, he is a bit of a
:19:38. > :19:41.character. At the comedy awards... He got a bucket of water or
:19:42. > :19:44.champagne tipped over him, at the Brit awards. The ice buckets
:19:45. > :19:50.challenge, or something, wasn't it(!) that was something entirely
:19:51. > :20:01.different. I was buying it later on. The Green Party has called for bold
:20:02. > :20:03.action on the environment, education, welfare and Brexit
:20:04. > :20:06.at the launch of its manifesto. The party's co-leader,
:20:07. > :20:08.Caroline Lucas, said they had "very distinct" plans for a universal
:20:09. > :20:11.basic income aiming for a "confident
:20:12. > :20:20.and caring" nation. This election is about what kind
:20:21. > :20:23.of future we want for our children. It is about protecting our values
:20:24. > :20:25.of openness, It's about our promise that
:20:26. > :20:28.a confident and caring future is possible if we work together,
:20:29. > :20:31.if we do politics differently, Sinn Fein has unveiled
:20:32. > :20:45.its election manifesto. Their plans include a proposal
:20:46. > :20:48.for a referendum on Irish called for a special designated
:20:49. > :20:51.status for Northern Ireland and proposals to install
:20:52. > :21:05.an Irish Language Act. Their Stormont leader
:21:06. > :21:06.Michelle O'Neill said that they were seeing the beginnings
:21:07. > :21:09.of a 'new political era'. So this is very much an opportunity
:21:10. > :21:12.to tell both the Tories and the DUP again, in the strongest possible
:21:13. > :21:15.terms, that we reject Brexit, that we would reject any border,
:21:16. > :21:18.that we reject any attempt to put limits on our freedom of movement,
:21:19. > :21:20.we reject barriers to That we stand for rights,
:21:21. > :21:25.for equality, and for Irish unity. So, what have the SNP
:21:26. > :21:27.been up to today? Well, they've been cooking up
:21:28. > :21:29.pledges and policies Nicola Sturgeon was getting
:21:30. > :21:33.in the mood today, meeting out a few tasters as to what we can expect,

:21:38. > :21:41.for breakfast is perhaps not the and the cakes were
:21:42. > :21:50.definitely a highlight. Now, on a serious note,
:21:51. > :21:51.you're here campaigning in the constituency this morning,
:21:52. > :21:54.jobs mainly the focus today. Jobs and fairness are, I think,
:21:55. > :21:57.at the heart of this election. And when the SNP outlines our
:21:58. > :21:59.manifesto tomorrow we will put the protection of jobs, through
:22:00. > :22:02.standing against an extreme Brexit, We will also put the issue
:22:03. > :22:06.of fairness at its heart as well. We see in equality

:22:09. > :22:18.plunged into poverty Bid leaders debate in Scotland
:22:19. > :22:21.yesterday, are the SNP feeling confident they will be able to pull
:22:22. > :22:26.out all the stops? No, I don't think they are, and I think part of the
:22:27. > :22:30.problem is, although it feels like 300 years ago, when Nicola Sturgeon
:22:31. > :22:38.launched the promised that there would be Indyref two, only a few
:22:39. > :22:43.days later, Theresa May called a general election. -- big leaders
:22:44. > :22:47.debate. The polls in Scotland suggest people do not want another
:22:48. > :22:54.referendum, or if they do, they are lukewarm about it, possibly as she
:22:55. > :22:56.would be about the peanut butter thing she had for breakfast,
:22:57. > :23:02.slightly better than a deep-fried Mars bar, I think they are under
:23:03. > :23:05.threat, the SNP, Nicholas Durden is an extremely able, good, compelling
:23:06. > :23:11.politician but I do think that they are under attack, and they will lose
:23:12. > :23:16.some seats. Not least of all because they will be judged on their record
:23:17. > :23:20.domestic, if you only have one team which you play, another referendum,
:23:21. > :23:24.another referendum, when actually, there are other things going on,
:23:25. > :23:28.funding of social care, education, and cuts and things like that, then
:23:29. > :23:35.I think they will tend to lose, probably to the Tories. Is it the
:23:36. > :23:39.conservatives who stand to gain? Yes, Nicola Sturgeon was taken on
:23:40. > :23:42.the hop by the election, she would not have called Indyref two had she
:23:43. > :23:48.known there was an election round the corner. Let's move on, though we
:23:49. > :23:52.might not know the result, certain things about an election campaign
:23:53. > :23:55.are guaranteed, your letterbox will be stuffed with leaflets, and
:23:56. > :24:00.politicians will kiss babies at every opportunity. Campaign veteran
:24:01. > :24:05.John Hess 's missing something, I will let him explain. This is my 12
:24:06. > :24:06.general election campaign but there is something strangely missing from
:24:07. > :24:15.this campaign. This is my question for the parties.
:24:16. > :24:22.Where are... Where are the election posters! Party campaigners are still
:24:23. > :24:26.seeking the prime position to hammer down their political messages, even
:24:27. > :24:30.they detect something is different. Social media is important as well,
:24:31. > :24:35.we are spending a lot more time doing that on the selection than on
:24:36. > :24:39.any other election before us. The youngsters are on social media but a
:24:40. > :24:42.lot of the shall we say more mature people who are not social media
:24:43. > :24:46.friendly need to see what's happening as well. On a staircase at
:24:47. > :24:50.the University of Nottingham, a gallery of iconic posters from past
:24:51. > :24:57.elections. It was a classic negative slogan. The irony is that this was
:24:58. > :25:00.the Hendon young conservatives, not the unemployed at all, that was
:25:01. > :25:07.another irony, this snake, one of the most successful posters of all
:25:08. > :25:11.time. Where are they in this campaign? The advertisers have been
:25:12. > :25:16.caught on the hop, this entry was not time, advertisers usually need
:25:17. > :25:21.time to think these things through. Simply has not been the time to
:25:22. > :25:26.generate the posters. VOICEOVER: Eyes on Westminster, that goes for
:25:27. > :25:28.more than 1700 election candidates... Screaming Lord such...
:25:29. > :25:32.Some election posters are now collectors items, although their
:25:33. > :25:37.value at the time is not always appreciated. So, if you feel you are
:25:38. > :25:48.missing out on those posters in this snap election, you can always make
:25:49. > :25:51.your own. STUDIO: Labour isn't working, Labour's tax bombshell,
:25:52. > :25:55.some of those classics, I was trying to think of a Labour poster knocking
:25:56. > :26:01.the Conservatives but I can think of any famous ones. We were thinking
:26:02. > :26:09.about the demonise, and... That was iconic. I can think of any others,
:26:10. > :26:14.Labour isn't working, that was... Not as good as John Hess's main
:26:15. > :26:20.poster... What we are not seeing is leaflets in windows... I have seen
:26:21. > :26:28.loads. I don't know if voter fatigue has already set in. And posters in
:26:29. > :26:32.gardens, that is in the real world. Is this campaign... In an age of
:26:33. > :26:37.social media, as the campaign change, a lot of analysis done by
:26:38. > :26:41.both campaigns from Facebook and whatever, voting intentions and so
:26:42. > :26:46.full, has that taken the fun out of campaigning? I don't know that there
:26:47. > :26:50.is any fun in campaigning, having trudged around canvassing! LAUGHTER
:26:51. > :26:54.This is a bit of a chaotic collection because it was a snap
:26:55. > :26:59.one, people not expecting it, it has taken some time to get the wheels
:27:00. > :27:03.moving. It is been sprung on everybody. Even the Tories who you
:27:04. > :27:07.would think that notice about it have also struggled. In some parts
:27:08. > :27:13.of the country there were local elections as well. So... But I think
:27:14. > :27:17.the other thing is, although you say it has been sprung upon people, we
:27:18. > :27:21.are so used to doing things at the last minute, it is almost like,
:27:22. > :27:26.let's see if the price of this cheap flight goes down by June eight, do
:27:27. > :27:30.you know what I mean, that sense of that is how we shop, that is how we
:27:31. > :27:33.do things, let's see what happens. That is how we choose Prime
:27:34. > :27:36.Ministers, potentially. we'll be back tomorrow
:27:37. > :27:44.with another Election Wrap. Thank you for watching.
:27:45. > :27:54.Goodbye. 25 degrees today, that was the
:27:55. > :27:55.maximum temperature in the south-east
