It could be an indication of what's to come over the next 49 days. | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
As the general election got the go-ahead today, | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
the North West was thrust firmly into centre stage. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
First with a high-profile resignation and then the person | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
who started it all came here to begin the campaign. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
He said he would carry on until the election | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
but he just didn't think it would happen quite yet. | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
George Osborne, the soon-to-be ex-MP for Tatton, calling time | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
It has been a great privilege being the member of Parliament | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
I love this country, its diversity and optimism and those | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
are the values I espouses as a member of the parliament | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
and as Chancellor but now I'm going to promote those values | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
as editor of the great British newspaper. | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
They are getting ready to say goodbye, but is it a fond farwell? | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
So I can understand why he would want to do it. | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
Elected in 2001, he became the youngest Tory MP in the Commons | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
with an affluent constituency in Cheshire but he became the face | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
The self-styled founder of the Northern Powerhouse, | :01:26. | :01:43. | |
and a fan of high-vis and hard hats, he was demoted from the cabinet | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
last year but kept busy with several highly paid jobs. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Some questioned his commitment to Tatton and wanted him out | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
I don't want him to go but I do understand his reasoning and I do | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
respect the decision that he's come to. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
The woman who put him out of the job, to May, | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
chose Bolton to launch her general election campaign. | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
Bolton West is a Tory marginal while Labour's majority | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
in neighbouring constituency Bolton North East is less | :02:16. | :02:16. | |
than 5000, a real target for the Conservatives | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
Until we sort Brexit out, you can't really sort much else out. | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
I think Labour will be better for me. | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
People have said there is no continuity around this Brexit thing, | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
so keeping that clear and concise, really. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
The main issue, for me, is how awful the Tory party | :02:32. | :02:41. | |
is and however we get rid of them and their crazy, | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
Theresa May was in town Askin for voters for a mandate | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
for proposed Brexit Britain as she rallied Tory troops | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
The Prime Minister gave a short speech to the Parish Hall in that | :02:54. | :03:06. | |
crucial Bolton North East constituency. | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
It's about providing be strong and stable leadership this country | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
needs to take Britain through Brexit and beyond. | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
It's about strengthening our hand in the negotiations that lie ahead. | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
Expect to hear those words, strong and stable, repeatedly | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
For if they swing from red to blue in Bolton North East | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
were repeated across the country, it could see the Conservatives | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
achieve a majority in the House of Commons of around 100. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
So Steve, our region's in the spotlight on Day One | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
And George Osborne not the only North West MP to announce | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
That's right, today we learned that John Pugh, the Southport MP and one | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
of the few Liberal Democrats in the North West announced | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
he was going to stand down after 16 years in politics. | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
He says he doesn't want to work through what he says will be | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
The Liberal Democrats, are the most pro-remain party. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
All this happened on the day that MP's voted to go ahead | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
with the general election by 522 votes to 13, there were two | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
rebels in the North West, Labours Graham Stringer in Blackley | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
and Broughton and Liz McInnes, the Heywood and Middleton MP. | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
Graham Stringer said he couldn't back the the election as Therea May | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
Those two rebellions are not the biggest of his worlds. | :04:20. | :04:34. | |
Yes, John Woodcock who's the Labour MP for Barrow in Furness | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
has released a statement saying he wants to stand for the party | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
again but says he cannot endorse Jeremey Corbyn, | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
he says he thinks he's not up to the job and believes | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
Jeremy Corbyn doesnt believe he's up to the job. | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
He say it's time for him to stand down before the General Election. | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
There was an update on the Manchester Gorton by-election. | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
That's right, confusion yesterday but today the Cabinet Office | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
It should now take place on general election day, | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
Prison inspectors have branded HMP Garth in Lancashire very unsafe | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
in their latest report with violence among inmates having | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
increased substantially since the last inspection. | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
According to The Chief Inspector of Prisons, | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
the jail near Leyland has gone into a steep decline | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
The Prison service says the new governor is making improvements, | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
but the Prison Officers' Association says drugs are a real problem there. | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
Unfortunately, it comes as no surprise. | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
This is another example of another inspector's report | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
The very same concerns that we've been highlighting to our employer | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
Homeowners who say their properties are riddled | :05:42. | :05:55. | |
with damp because of botched cavity wall insulation took their case | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
Thousands of homes in the north west are now having | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
the insulation removed because it was wrongly installed | :06:02. | :06:02. | |
Abbie Jones has this exclusive report. | :06:03. | :06:12. | |
We've had cracks, we've had plaster falling off. | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
We haven't been able to have people at home. | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
A single mum from Crumpsall in Manchester, Jeanette jumped | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
at the chance to save money with cavity wall insulation. | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
But the damp got so bad, Jeanette's insulation had to be removed. | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
In Ashton-under-Lyne, Gillian's bedroom is riddled with mould. | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
To meet government targets, some installers | :06:35. | :06:49. | |
putting it in wrongly and pushing it on homeowners where it was | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
Blackpool, Southport, Fleetwood, Lancaster, | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
are exposed to driving rain which can seep into bricks and | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
But that's where extraction expert Damian Mercer | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
He takes out failed insulation and says the cost | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
It is a massive problem in the Northwest. | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
I know of 1200 homes right now that have the problem. | :07:18. | :07:26. | |
The scale of the problem is horrendous. | :07:27. | :07:27. | |
In Poulton-le-Fylde, Grace has damp - but her installer | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
We have construction rubble causing damp on the inside. | :07:31. | :07:43. | |
You should never have had cavity wall insulation in | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
The real irony is this insulation is supposed to make our | :07:46. | :07:56. | |
homes greener but when it has to be removed, where does it end up? | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
Dyson says it is satisfied it examined her property and doesn't | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
believe her dad is due to installation. | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
The government says it is committed to insuring consumers | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
up protected and it has strict standards. | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
But those who believe their homes have been ruined | :08:10. | :08:19. | |
Earlier I asked Nigel Donoghue from the Cavity Insulation Guarantee | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
Agency why his members had treated properties which weren't suitable. | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
I'm incredibly sympathetic for the home owners | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
that have been affected by the cavity wall insulation. | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
The homes are a major investment and it's something | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
In the cases, I am aware of them tonight. | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
It seems like everyone who expressed an interest had it pumped | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
in when obviously in some properties, it is not appropriate. | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
In terms of the actual failure rate of cavity | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
insulation as a product, to put it into context, | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
as the largest provider, we have issued 6 million guarantees. | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Out of those 6 million guarantees, we've only ever had a claim rate | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
We've made a lot of changes in terms of our whole approach to customer | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
services and if somebody has got a problem with the cavity wall | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
insulation, they should immediately contact us. | :09:15. | :09:15. | |
On a whole, it's a very effective product and it has really had | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
a significant financial and beneficial impact to homeowners. | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
The BAE Systems shipyard at Barrow-in-Furness has been | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
awarded a ?1.4 billion contract to build | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
It's the sixth of seven Astute class nuclear | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
vessels to be built at the site which employs around | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
8,000 people on its submarine building programme. | :09:38. | :09:50. | |
Travel services between the North West and London have faced major | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
disruption tonight after a fire damaged signal | :09:54. | :09:54. | |
Repair work is ongoing and it's hoped services will return | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
Good evening. Sunshine was in short supply and it would be like that as | :09:59. | :10:15. | |
we go into the weekend. First thing in the morning, we saw a glimpse of | :10:16. | :10:24. | |
sunshine. We will hang on to the cloud cover and we will add to the | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
clouds. Sprinkles of drizzle from time to time. For most of us, it is | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
not a big deal. Hardly touches the ground for some places. Misty and | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
murky first thing in the morning however the temperatures will be | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
good. Seven to 10 Celsius. Much milder first thing tomorrow morning. | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
Tomorrow, it is a carbon copy of today. We have a lot of cloud cover. | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
Cloud Mayfair man break as we go into the afternoon. Temperatures | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
will be better at 12 Celsius. The outlook for the next couple of days, | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
more of the similar story across the UK. Thomas | :11:04. | :11:04. | |
matter has that story. Good evening, before we get to the | :11:05. | :11:16. | |
forecast, I want to show you a map which depicts how dry it has been | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
during the course of April. Brown is below average rainfall, blue is | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
above average. You can see how Brown the map is. Some areas in the south, | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
some counties have only seen a few percent so far in April. Not | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
necessarily a | :11:35. | :11:36. |
