:05:43. > :05:46.comes to Brexit he is likely to be quite hard line. He wants European

:05:52. > :05:55.said continued security and defence and economic cooperation after
:05:56. > :06:00.Brexit was important. He is unlikely to say no to a favourable trade deal

:06:57. > :07:08.Sarah Smith, reports. Springtime in the Scottish Highlands
:07:09. > :07:16.came with a heavy fall of snow today. Quite a scene to welcome two
:07:17. > :07:22.party leaders to Aviemore. Jeremy Corbyn's in Scotland is to try to
:07:23. > :07:26.win back voters from the SNP. Friends, this is a general election,
:07:27. > :07:29.not a referendum. Only Labour can form a government and offer an
:07:30. > :07:35.alternative that would chance form the lives of people in Scotland. The
:07:36. > :07:41.choice facing this country at this election is clear. It is the people
:07:42. > :07:46.versus the powerful? Jeremy Corbyn says he is fighting for every seat
:07:47. > :07:51.in Scotland. The reality is they will have two fight hard to keep the
:07:52. > :07:53.one MP they have in Scotland, having lost so many seats at the last
:07:54. > :08:05.general election. Do you -- no answers on Trident,
:08:06. > :08:09.independence or anything else. A Scottish trade union conference
:08:10. > :08:14.would once have been solid Labour territory. Not now. I like Jeremy
:08:15. > :08:18.Corbyn, his personality. I believe independents will bring a fair
:08:19. > :08:26.society for us, especially with Jeremy Corbyn as leader. Socialist
:08:27. > :08:29.policies were lacking before. Now we can win people back and see a real
:08:30. > :08:35.benefit from a Labour government again. There will be no deals with
:08:36. > :08:41.Nicola surgeon and the SNP after the election, Mr Corbyn said today. --
:08:42. > :08:43.Nicola Sturgeon. She said her party is the only effective opposition to
:08:44. > :08:49.a Conservative government. The only way to get rid of the Tories you
:08:50. > :08:53.said despite with a Labour government, wouldn't it? I can the
:08:54. > :09:01.polls as well as anybody can. The travails of the Labour Party, people
:09:02. > :09:07.who do not see Theresa May imposing more welfare cuts to damage the
:09:08. > :09:16.economy and do further damage to our society should vote SNP. Eye-macro
:09:17. > :09:21.Nicola Sturgeon will use all means possible including this election to
:09:22. > :09:24.try to further hurry for another second independence referendum. The
:09:25. > :09:31.last time Jeremy Corbyn was in Scotland, he said a second election
:09:32. > :09:35.was fine with him. He wants someone to stand up and say, no food that is
:09:36. > :09:39.what me and my Conservative team will do. The SNP claims it is a two
:09:40. > :09:43.horse race between them and the Tories in Scotland. The Tories
:09:44. > :09:46.agreed was in a campaign dominated by giving over independence, Labour
:09:47. > :09:51.often struggle to get their message heard.
:09:52. > :09:54.As we've seen, at the start of the first full week
:09:55. > :09:56.of campaigning, the Labour Leader is positioning his party
:09:57. > :09:58.as the party to stand up for working people.
:09:59. > :10:01.In the next few weeks each of the other parties will have
:10:02. > :10:04.to carve out their own positions as they appeal for votes.
:10:05. > :10:05.We'll get some idea when their manifestos are published
:10:06. > :10:07.but as our political editor Laura Kuenssberg reports,
:10:08. > :10:16.electoral strategy is about more than just words on a pamphlet.
:10:17. > :10:27.Putting his name too long, deeply held principles, or signing Labour's
:10:28. > :10:35.chances away. Sign away their trade union act? By P Jeremy Corbyn is not
:10:36. > :10:42.for changing. Despite his port for scrapping Trident or trade union
:10:43. > :10:45.backing. We will never apologise for the closeness of our relationship
:10:46. > :10:49.with you. One of the very first things it will do when forming our
:10:50. > :10:56.Labour government will be to repeal the Tory trade union act. Jeremy
:10:57. > :11:00.Corbyn supporters would be aghast at anything else. The Tories believe he
:11:01. > :11:07.is out of touch with the majority. Content today to make that case, not
:11:08. > :11:13.their own. Not even a sign of the Prime Minister. He has already now
:11:14. > :11:16.said he would not endorse strikes against terrorism. That means the
:11:17. > :11:20.Labour Party is a security risk to this country. The Tories believe
:11:21. > :11:24.that Ukip is on the run as well put up since the referendum, their main
:11:25. > :11:35.reason for being is gone. They are arguing for a Frexit ban and no more

:11:53. > :11:58.offer. The Ukip leader is less keen to chat about his own future. Chased
:11:59. > :12:03.by reporters for an answer on whether he will stand as an MP. The
:12:04. > :12:06.Lib Dems think there is hope from their opposition to Brexit. They
:12:07. > :12:12.believe they can gobble up the votes in parts of the country that voted
:12:13. > :12:15.remain. We have a coalition of chaos. Conservatives, labour and
:12:16. > :12:20.Ukip. All lined up backing the hardest of all wrecks it is, exit
:12:21. > :12:26.from the single market and cutting of ties from our friends and

:12:35. > :12:39.there were heckles today over questions about gay rights. Like
:12:40. > :12:43.politics in this campaign? Maybe not in 2017. It is still a scrabble for
:12:44. > :12:52.all the main parties to get their machines up and running. No one's
:12:53. > :12:53.campaign is running at full pelt. The strategies? Those are crystal

:17:31. > :17:33.and there are bad. You know, after the
:17:34. > :17:43.diagnosis, it crashed. Every single thing about our life
:17:44. > :17:46.had changed in the moment He was such a good, honest,
:17:47. > :18:03.hard-working guy and it went from that to literally
:18:04. > :18:07.becoming institutionalised, really. You know, you become
:18:08. > :18:10.a prisoner to the illness. What has it done to you,
:18:11. > :18:15.what have you lost? It's scary, it's scary in one way

:22:14. > :22:16.cleanly air up and will publish their plans after the election and

:22:24. > :22:27.vehicles which would be cleaner. But the real question is what is in
:22:28. > :22:32.their plan? We have not seen it yet, how will they get the most polluting
:22:33. > :22:36.vehicles of the roads? How will they help local authorities set up clean
