:01:25. > :01:27.A senior Lincolnshire MP has called for a pact between UKIP
:01:28. > :02:08.elections was widely interpreted as a protest vote against the lain
:02:09. > :02:13.Westminster parties but according to senior Conservatives Sir Edward
:02:14. > :02:18.Leigh, it is his party that has the most to lose if UKIP do well in next
:02:19. > :02:21.year's general election. He wants an informal pact where the parties
:02:22. > :02:28.would not fight each other hn some seats. We have to reunite the
:02:29. > :02:32.right. Informal arrangements coupled with the fact we reassure
:02:33. > :02:36.traditional voters we are conservative and will delivdr a
:02:37. > :02:43.referendum and the things they care about, we have a chance of winning
:02:44. > :02:47.the election. Bill and Sandra are conservative voters who livd in the
:02:48. > :02:52.games per constituency. How do they feel about the Tories forming an
:02:53. > :02:59.alliance with UKIP? I think Nigel Farage puts on an image that is not
:03:00. > :03:05.suitable for politics. You do not think David Cameron should do a
:03:06. > :03:12.deal? Not at all. He likes his beer and cigars, he does not seel
:03:13. > :03:16.serious. Nigel Farage has consistently ruled out formhng a
:03:17. > :03:21.pact with any other party. This is what he's said in a recent
:03:22. > :03:25.interview. It is not going to happen. UKIP is a different party
:03:26. > :03:31.and we are not going to be bought off by anybody. The Newark
:03:32. > :03:37.by`election saw the Conserv`tives hold onto the seat, despite a swing
:03:38. > :03:41.to UKIP. Sir Edward Leigh bdlieves many traditional Tory voters are
:03:42. > :03:47.alienated by coalition policies such as same`sex marriage. H think
:03:48. > :03:51.it was a mistake to bring in gay marriage but I would have thought a
:03:52. > :03:56.senior Conservative minister could Pollard jives to older tradhtional
:03:57. > :04:03.supporters who value their traditional marriage, that we were
:04:04. > :04:07.sorry we upset their beliefs. We have already seen an unlikely
:04:08. > :04:08.political marriage in Downing Street and many will speculate if there
:04:09. > :04:12.will be another sometime soon. Joining me now is Michael Brown a
:04:13. > :04:25.former Lincolnshire Conserv`tive MP Should the Tory party consider doing
:04:26. > :04:30.a pact with UKIP, even if it meant keeping out labour in areas where
:04:31. > :04:37.they could do well? I think it is not necessary. I see the pohnt
:04:38. > :04:43.Edward makes but 12 hours after a stunning Conservative victory in
:04:44. > :04:47.Newark, where UKIP did not come near winning, they picked up Libdral
:04:48. > :04:54.votes, and I think the Consdrvative Party should not worry too luch
:04:55. > :04:56.about UKIP. After all, it is the Labour Party and the Liberal
:04:57. > :05:01.Democrats who have suffered in the past couple of weeks. There is no
:05:02. > :05:07.doubt the British public in Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire are
:05:08. > :05:14.Eurosceptics. But I think that area is fortunate to have Edward Leigh,
:05:15. > :05:23.Austin Mitchell, Mr Percy, David Davis and Martin Vickers, you are ``
:05:24. > :05:29.who are Eurosceptics. But is there a danger of letting in labour if you
:05:30. > :05:33.vote UKIP? That is what Martin Vickers and Andrew Percy who have
:05:34. > :05:41.the marginal seats have to do. If you vote UKIP you will end tp with
:05:42. > :05:46.Ed Miliband. If they keep the message straight, Andrew Percy and
:05:47. > :05:51.Martin Vickers have been very Eurosceptic and independent. No UKIP
:05:52. > :05:56.candidate will defeat Edward Leigh who has a marvellous record with
:05:57. > :06:00.Euro scepticism. I agree with him 99% of the time but I think this
:06:01. > :06:13.time he is not worrying `` he is worrying unnecessarily. Let me ask
:06:14. > :06:16.you about his comments about the government apologising for
:06:17. > :06:21.legalising gay marriage. Is it wise to speak out on this? Edward has
:06:22. > :06:26.always had a principled stand on this issue and I respect it. I would
:06:27. > :06:33.not have done it myself, either But the Conservative government enacted
:06:34. > :06:38.this. I do not think any apology is now necessary. People have to focus
:06:39. > :06:42.in a year's time on this, if you want David Cameron as Prime
:06:43. > :06:44.Minister, you can only get him by voting Conservative. If you want Ed
:06:45. > :06:49.Miliband, vote UKIP or labotr. We want to hear from you
:06:50. > :06:52.on this story. Do you think a deal would
:06:53. > :06:54.work between the two parties. Maybe you have a view on
:06:55. > :06:59.Edward Leigh's comments that the Tory party should apologise
:07:00. > :07:22.for introducing gay marriagd. And you can see
:07:23. > :07:25.the full interview with Sir Edward Leigh on this weekend's Sunday

:08:07. > :08:19.following today's events. How important was D`Day? It was 70
:08:20. > :08:25.years ago that the landings took place and on that day, more than
:08:26. > :08:32.156,000 British and Allied troops invaded Normandy in France. As many

:09:05. > :09:21.Yorkshire `` East Yorkshire bet in Normandy. `` veterans in Normandy. I
:09:22. > :09:26.did not know what to expect. When it did happen, it was not very
:09:27. > :09:33.pleasant. There was a lot of action going on with tracer bullets and God
:09:34. > :09:38.knows what else. I was on a gun on the starboard side. I thought, if I
:09:39. > :09:48.can only fire this gun, it light study me. And so I did. On June six,
:09:49. > :09:55.1944, troops from Britain, @merica and Canada arrived in Normandy in
:09:56. > :10:00.France. For the infantry, it must've been horrific, particularly for
:10:01. > :10:03.those who did not land in the correct places and were virtually
:10:04. > :10:12.submerged when they landed. Fortunately, our boys on our beach
:10:13. > :10:23.made a good job of it. I do not like talking about what we did. Ht was
:10:24. > :10:30.not very nice. Thousands of Allied troops died on this day 70 xears
:10:31. > :10:38.ago. People call us heroes, but we are not. The heroes are still there.
:10:39. > :10:43.This sacrifice gave the Allhes their best chance of defeating Nazi
:10:44. > :10:49.Germany. Today, their efforts have been remembered with events across

:12:37. > :12:41.carry out more research. Proving the economic benefit could
:12:42. > :12:58.help build the case for invdstment, If you can make the case th`t the
:12:59. > :13:03.benefits of something, then you can go to government and put thd case
:13:04. > :13:08.and argue for the money. If there is evidence that the economy and people
:13:09. > :13:11.of Lincolnshire will benefit by progressing something, and the
:13:12. > :13:18.evidence supports it, we should go to government and make the case By
:13:19. > :13:22.2021 the government plans to invest more than 70 billion in transport in
:13:23. > :13:29.the UK, including plans for the high`speed railway between London
:13:30. > :13:33.and the north. In Lincolnshhre, the county is expected to receive just
:13:34. > :13:40.40 million to maintain the road network, among the largest of any
:13:41. > :13:45.county in the UK. It is esthmated the cost of combining the two roads
:13:46. > :13:49.could cost more than ?3 billion This haulier believes the local
:13:50. > :13:53.economy would benefit. When people look at the map of Lincoln to
:13:54. > :14:01.relocate business they will look and often they say it is a backwater
:14:02. > :14:06.because the road structure hs poor. Improving bad roads is easidr said
:14:07. > :14:10.than done. In the short`terl, the report suggests investigating
:14:11. > :14:18.schemes such as improving jtnctions and overtaking lanes. That hs
