About gang violence, but he is offering a referendum, following a mass brawl and borisjohnson very much isnt, at a cinema complex in birmingham. Doesnt that mean you are inevitably huge turnouts and gains for pro democracy groups going to have to lean in hong kongs local elections, towards the labour party and help with voters giving their verdict them form a government, vote things through for them, on months of demonstrations. Rather than the conservatives . Well, first of all, as things stand, and englands cricketers as things stand, borisjohnson are struggling to avoid defeat in the first test in new zealand. Is on course to get a majority, and liberal democrats are the best placed party to stop it. Ah, you think that is what is happening at the moment . If you look at the polls right now, that is what they say. Now there is, obviously, two and a half weeks to go in this campaign, and i am working very hard to change that situation. You are not conceding yet, but you think that he is going to win . Of course i am not conceding yet. Liberal democrats are campaigning good evening. Hard right across the country, borisjohnson has launched and we are making real inroads, the conservative partys but we need to make sure we win election manifesto, promising to get his brexit deal passed those seats from the conservatives, by parliament as soon as possible and we are in a position to do that after the election if he wins. In a way that labour simply is not. In a speech in telford if he doesnt win an overall in shropshire, majority, and he comes he offered what he called a route to you saying, listen, jo, i never thought. Map to take the country forward. I dont want to do this, i am doing for the nhs in england, this through gritted teeth, jo, there was a new pledge to add but to get my deal through, 50,000 more nurses to the workforce, to get my Withdrawal Agreement through, i am prepared to offer partly by stemming the flow of people leaving and the liberal democrats a referendum on that deal afterwards, also by recruiting from overseas. What do you say to him . There was also a promise to restore look, i am not putting borisjohnson orjeremy corbyn into number ten, nursing grants and train more staff. But if there is a law in parliament. He said thered be the voters might. If there is a law in parliament that no rises in income tax, i can vote for that makes sure that the brexit deal is put National Insurance and vat for five years. To the public, with the opportunity an earlier plan from mrjohnson to remain, i will vote for that. To raise the income Tax Threshold we have always said for higher earners is scrapped. We will vote for that. But there is a pledge to raise ah, 0k. So if borisjohnson tries the threshold at which people start paying National Insurance to £9,500, to do a deal with you, whereby he gets his withdrawal a saving of £85 a year per person. Agreement through the house 0ur political editor, of commons, he delivers his promise Laura Kuenssberg, was at the manifesto launch, to get brexit done, and her report contains but in return for that, he gives you a referendum, you say yes . I am not doing a deal, andrew. Some flash photography. I am going to vote for the things that i am standing up for, for the things that i believe in, ahead, but far from clear and away. And i believe we should stop brexit, and it may be that a peoples vote are you feeling optimistic, ministers . Is the best way to do that. Tories out, tories out we have campaigned for that for more than three years and so, the tories know its theirs to lose. As we have said, over the last year, but whod bet on much these days . If we can put a specific brexit deal to the British Public with the option to remain, this time last year, liberal democrats will support borisjohnson was having a peoples vote. We will vote for that legislation. Just a controversial backbencher. Now defending his own position as prime minister. Boris, boris, boris and with a list of promises hes making new, of the liberal democrat leader, jo trying to secure the conservatives another five years in charge. Swinson. Hows that, andy . Time for a look at the weather can you see that . With alina jenkins. As we head into the final week of his number one rallying cry to metrological autumn, there is more move on and leave the eu injanuary. Rain in the forecast. Not much do we want more delay . Around today, mainly dry for many, do we want more dither and drift but a lot of mist and murk, low cloud. Some of us were lucky enough and deadlock and division . To see some bright skies, but that do we want 2020 to be another year of defeatism and despair . Brightness has been at a premium. No, we dont. The next spell of rain is already making its presence felt across get brexit done, and we can restore western parts of the uk. Gusty winds confidence and certainty to business and to families. Associated with that, 50 miles an hour across south western london get brexit done, and well see south wales. That is tracking north a pent up tidal wave of investment into this country. And east woods, getting as far north as the midlands, southern parts of get brexit done, and we can Northern Ireland. Staying mainly dry focus our hearts and our minds further north, but some low cloud, on the priorities of the british people. Freezing well above freezing the conservatives had already vowed extra money for the health service, temperatures. This front is but theres a new promise continuing north and east woods. The to recruit more nurses. Heaviest of the rain tomorrow is across england and wales. A number today, in this manifesto, of the met office rain warnings in place. The rain becoming patchy as we pledge 50,000 more nurses and their bursaries, it pushes into Northern Ireland and and 50 million more gp surgery appointments, and today we make this guarantee. Scotland. Still quite a windy day for the Shetland Isles and still cash to scrap hospital stronger winds across parts of parking charges, South West England and south wales. Taxpayers money for more childcare, and an Infrastructure Fund mild again, nine or 13 celsius the all, he claims, without raising tax. Top temperature. We get rid of one area of low pressure, here is heres the kicker, another one waiting in the wings for tuesday. This has the remnants of we can do all these things what was Tropical Storm sebastien embedded in it. That is going to pep without raising our income tax, vat, or National Insurance up embedded in it. That is going to pep up the rainfall, strength and the contributions. Thats our guarantee. Wind. Widespread gusts of a0 or 50 and in this manifesto, and in this manifesto. Mph for south wales and south west applause england on tuesday. Again, with some. There is a vision for the future. Heavy rain. More rain on top of Boris Johnson says already saturated ground. 15 or 20 he never wanted this election, millimetres quite widely, even more but its both a huge risk and a huge over higher ground. Most of us will opportunity for him and his party. See some spells of heavy rain lets go for sensible, moderate, but tax cutting one nation through tuesday. Not raining all the conservative government, and take this country forwards. Time, in between a view brighter thank you all very much. Interludes. Generally a breezy day. The strongest winds across south wales and South West England. In the moist, tropical air, temperatures you won the leadership of your party widely in double figures, ten or 1a by making a big promise on brexit that you then broke, despite saying celsius on tuesday. We still have the buck stopped with you. This area of low pressure to deal with on wednesday. Gradually now youre trying to win the country tracking its way eastwards. A very with a whole list of promises and significant extra spending. Messy picture on wednesday. Further do you accept that beyond this room, spells of heavy rain, strong wind and beyond your party, for northern scotland and southern its a big leap of faith england. As we going to thursday and for the country friday, we pick up more of a north easterly wind which is going to trust you with a majority . The Biggest Issue at this election to pull much colder air across much of the uk. By the time we get a is really whether people have any confidence in politics any more. And i think the reason that friday morning, most of us will wake confidence and trust in politics up friday morning, most of us will wake up to an overnight frost. Wet and windy for a time and the week ahead, has been so undermined is because for three and half years, dry and cold later. Theyve seen politicians engaged in constant prevarication, procrastination, dither and delay, when the people of this country voted to get brexit done. The tory leader is now right in the fray, right in the middle of this campaign. But none of the steps spelt out today are designed to create the fireworks hes famous for. Theres no doubt people are asking politicians, are you going to stick to what youre saying youre going to be doing . We couldnt be clearer about getting brexit done. We do want to spend some more money on our priorities the nhs, more on the 20,000 police, more on our schools but we can do that if we keep the economy strong. Compared to the labour manifesto, this is a pamphlet rather than a phone book, but its a document designed to keep the tories out of trouble, rather than shake up the fundamentals of the campaign. Is this a winning manifesto, mrjohnson . Were fighting very hard, were fighting very hard. Here you go, yes, like gold dust, getting these posters the big contrast between him and his rivals has been there since day one borisjohnson would take us out of the eu in less than 70 days. Thats the choice vote to leave at speed or vote for the chance to stay. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, telford. So how affordable are the pledges being made . 0ur economics editor, faisal islam, is here to look at the numbers. Faisal. The conservative manifesto contained no rabbits out of the hat, no huge tax cuts, rises, or big new spending items. It has been designed as a steady as she goes modest effort the equivalent of a rather low key budget with some targeted help. For example, extra Nurse Recruitment and appointments cost about £1. 5 billion pounds a year on top of existing nhs commitments. There is £600 million a year on a National Skills fund. The National Insurance threshold costs the exchequer £2. 5 billion a year. In total, £6. 5 billion in spending rises and tax cuts. Its very modest for example, theres no income tax cut for higher earners, that was promised to the pms party members. It doesnt undo ten years of spending squeezes either. All of that basically is funded by not Cutting Corporation tax, a tax on business profits, to i7p and leaving it at i9p instead. About half a billion is also raised from increasing the money charged to migrants to use the health service. This is not a transformative ma nifesto this is not a transformative manifesto in terms of tax and spending pledges, pretty much steady as she goes, taking on board the increases announced earlier this year and not much in addition, so i think the big takeaway here is that most of the cuts that weve seen over the last decade will be pegged into spending over the next three or four years unless more money turns up four years unless more money turns up later on. The big picture is several billions a year, not several tens of billions seen in the other major manifestos. On top of all this, there is extra investment spending of 8 billion a year for things Like Research and development and potholes. But whats not in the numbers are some of borisjohnsons promises for high speed rail in the north and a0 new hospitals. The chancellor and pm want to keep a tight ship a little bit more spending, yes, a bit more tax too, but overall it amounts to less than i of the size of the economy. Clive. Faisal, thank you, faisal islam there. So what other measures are in the conservative manifesto . Well, theres a commitment to an extra 20,000 Police Officers for england and wales, though that would only restore force numbers back to 2010 levels. Theres a pledge for the uk to be Carbon Neutral by 2050, and the promise of £7. 1 billion a year for schools in england by 2023. There was no detailed plan for social care, but on immigration the conservatives want to introduce an australian style points system. 0ur chief political correspondent, vikki young, has been gauging the mood in rother valley in South Yorkshire, an area that voted heavily to leave the eu, and where brexit and trust in politicians are key election issues. Who are voters moving towards in this former mining town of maltby . This is an area that overwhelmingly backed leaving the eu, so is borisjohnsons promise to get brexit done chiming with leave voters . I want out and over, so we can get on with the real things that influence the ordinary people like us. Who do you think could do that for you . Either the conservatives or the brexit party. Ijust hope what he is saying he will do happens. Are you willing to give him a chance . Yes, yeah. In this area, labour have always been strong. What do you think their view is on brexit . Ijust think they dont know, do they . He cant decide one way or the other. Outside the leisure centre, members of the running club are limbering up. Many are still undecided about how to cast their vote. Its always been labours, you know, this is an ex mining village, maltby is, and people have always voted for labour. But i just think theyre changing their views. And do you think thats because of brexit . Maybe. They all promise the earth before an election, and once theyve won it, they dont deliver, so very up in the air for me. Its always been predominantly labour in this area, but i will be backing boris all the way, all the way. And i do like him as a person, i think hes all right. He might not be trustworthy, but i do like him. At first glance, a seat like rother valley isnt an obvious place for borisjohnson to go searching for victory theres only ever been a labour mp here. But this area of South Yorkshire voted heavily to leave the eu, and the conservatives are hoping their pro brexit message could persuade even traditional labour voters to switch this time. In the pub in harthill, many are sticking to labour this time, but its clear that trust is an issue for party leaders. I cant see myself voting tory, but i am loath to vote forjeremy corbyn. And that speaks a lot, it really does. Would you be somebody who normally would have voted labour . Im a member of the labour party. So what do you think when you see borisjohnson on the tv . I used to like him when he was on have i got news for you, but i certainly dont see him as a representative for the country. I think hes embarrassing. Ijust dont trust him, sorry, thats awful to say, but ijust dont trust him. Borisjohnson knows hes got to turn places like this from red to blue if hes to win the election outright, and brexit could be the key. Vicki young, bbc news, rother valley. Lets take a look at some of todays other election stories. Labour says if it wins the election, women who lost out on their state pensions when the retirement age was raised will be compensated. They could receive sums of up to £31,000, and its thought nearly four million women are affected. Labour estimates itll cost £58 billion over five years. Todays announcement wasnt part of their manifesto, with critics arguing the plan hasnt been budgeted for. The Scottish National party leader, nicola sturgeon, sasteremy corbyn would have to scrap Trident Nuclear weapons if it wants the snp to support a minority labour government. She said shed also want to see more powers for the Scottish Parliament and what she termed a real end to austerity if labour needed her support in the event of a hung parliament. And the lib dem leader, jo swinson, has repeated her promise that her party wont put borisjohnson orjeremy corbyn into number ten. However, she told the Bbcs Andrew Marr show that she would vote for a bill which put a brexit deal to the public in a referendum. Lets return to telford and speak to our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg. Laura, the main parties have all now revealed their manifestos, what is your assessment of how this Election Campaign is shaping up . Well, clive, i dont think the tory manifesto today really will change that much, and it wasnt designed to be an earth shattering document. And it wasnt designed to be an ea rth shattering document. A and it wasnt designed to be an earth shattering document. A lot of toys are still very spooked and haunted by what happened in 2017 when theresa mays manifesto unravelled and really took the momentum away from her campaign, and we all know what happened next. The second point is that borisjohnson is still a relatively new prime minister, and hes already, in his short time in number ten, made big announcements and try to change the course of the conservative party already. And a third of all, as you suggest, the fundamentals of this Election Campaign are already pretty well set. Whatever was in the ma nifestos, well set. Whatever was in the manifestos, the two big party the two big rivals have really clashing approaches, not just two big rivals have really clashing approaches, notjust on the size of the state, whether it should be big 01 the state, whether it should be big or small, whether it should interfere in the economy or not, but above all else their approach to brexit, and the tory manifesto sought to underline a difference, rather than really to change the dynamic in any way. And, laura, today labour revealed an eye catching initiative on some womens pensions which wasnt in their manifesto. Thats right, the so called waspi women, a really powerful group who have been campaigning for years about what they see as the injustice for women ofa they see as the injustice for women of a certain age who lost out as successive governments tried to level up the amoun
