Scupper Brexit News Today

like because it in effect puts a border down the irish sea. now on bbc news, its time for political thinking with nick robinson. hello and welcome to political thinking, a conversation with rather than interrogation of someone whose political thinking shapes all of ours. this week my guest is a symbol of the modern labour party, a symbol if you like of a party of two eras. on the one hand, 13 years in power. on the other, 12 years of powerlessness. yvette cooper was once a young rising...

good to be here, nick. im sorry to mention the powerlessness! when you watch the tory infighting this week, who is going to be leader? and nobody says keir starmer. its, "will it bejeremy hunt, will it be borisjohnson?" does it increase that sense of frustration, of not being in power? the frustration of not being able to do things is huge, and youre right, weve had 12 years of this now. we are nearly going to have been as long out of power as we were in power. and yes, theres just thi...

over 50% of patients with ramsay hunt syndrome were misdiagnosed, so we want to make sure that is not happening in the future. raising awareness of facial palsy, raising awareness of facial palsy, raising awareness of facial palsy, raising awareness of ramsay hunt syndrome is absolutely vital and people need to get the support they need and access charities like facial palsy uk, hospitals that specialise in facial palsy management in order to get the appropriate help at the appropriate...

On things like security. they didnt think we had a leader who would keep them safe. they didnt think we respected the big institutions of the country, of the issues around patriotism. but they also thought that the second referendum was disrespecting the result of the referendum, and i think that was damaging. and yet people listening to what you said about brexit will say, hold on, keir starmer was the guy who wanted the second referendum. there was the cooper amendment which bore your name, wh...

"ive got to be back in government!" now youre in a marginal seat which has got more marginal in yorkshire, very high bnp vote at one stage, ukip vote, brexit vote, exactly the sort of red wall—y area, i dont much like that phrase but so people know what we are talking about. you must have had to do a lot of thinking about why labour keeps losing. the cliche is, some people blame corbyn, some corbyn backers blame brexit. i suspect youve thought about it a bit more than that. why? why didnt thos...

Entourage, with me then pelting after to grab this child! and i couldnt even stop and explain, "hi, yes, hello!" "got to go! "had to get off the train! i thought you were going to say youd pretended you didnt recognise them! nothing to do with me! was it ever mentioned? we never mentioned it again! theyjust looked in shock at me charging down! that is the fun but youve also had experiences as a woman, as a mother, in politics, and you sort of alluded to it with the kids, kind of the horror that ...

You know, look, but weve got to do now is move forward. you know, we are outside the eu. we have new relationships to build. weve got to set up now a positive future for the country that moves on. immigration is one of those policies that obviously lay at the heart of the concerns of some, by no means all, but some of those people who wanted brexit. big businesses are now saying, "we have not "got enough workers." youre responsible for immigration policy as shadow home secretary. without getting...

Blame corbyn, some corbyn backers blame brexit. i suspect youve thought about it a bit more than that. why? why didnt those people, who you would have assumed were labour voters, want to vote labour? yeah. so i think underpinning both those things... look, both brexit and our leader, jeremy corbyn�*s leadership, were big factors. underpinning both of them, i think, was a feeling among a lot of people in towns like ours that labour was disrespecting them and that the party sort of disrespected ...

I and other mps, we find ways ofjust dealing with that. of, you know, just ignoring things and so on. but for your family, its really hard. and i think especially, i mean, obviously afterjo cox was murdered, obviously, david amess as well, you had that happen, we had the westminster terror attack as well. i think it is really hard for close family. running through you and this interview, a bit like lettering through a piece of blackpool rock, is someone screaming, "ive got to be back in power! i...

Yes, i argued that at the time. i think one of the things that i think i got wrong on it was, i genuinely thought that somehow it would be possible to build consensus and that maybe, ok, if things took a bit longer and it took longer then there would be more chance of people coming together and finding a way through this, finding a way to build some consensus. but actually, the opposite happened and the longer it took, the more polarised everything became. and i got that wrong. but i think thing...
