You know I'm concerned about the u.s. Maybe some of the statements that have been made and you know I have to say a lot of those have come from Johnson and you know some from the things that have been said have been. Criticized quite publicly and have been shown to be untrue so is if it's a concern I mean it's something I'm sure all of us across the political spectrum will be asking questions about after the election and hopefully we can get some answers because one thing we can be sure of is that we can't continue with politicians making statements that are false and getting away with it so hopefully that will come across political views and we can all agree that we need a system that you know eliminates that. Jeremy Colvin saying he will be caretaker but he won't lead the Labor Party into Sunday another election who would you like to see. I think it's a bit early to speculate on who who's probably never to speculate it's 4 o'clock. And it's been a very very long but I think there are some fantastic candidates in the Labor Party and some really great people with you know working class backgrounds and some great diversity as well so I think we're very blessed that we have a large number of people who would be fantastic candidates to take on that mantle and once we have a bit more of a conversation if if that's what the term is advice that he's intending to take then once that conversation starts must certainly make clear more views on who I think might be the best counter camera Matthew thank you very much for staying here the packing up behind you. And you know we appreciate your time and your thoughts so that was the Labor candidate standing in Suffolk coastal Cameron Matthews that pole was won by a trace coffee it is just gone 4 o'clock. Is an election special on b.b.c. Radio. It certainly is very good morning to you it's right here on b.b.c. Radio. Starting a breakfast early at 6 o'clock to bring you reaction to the general election 2019 results all of Suffolk has declared election 2019 on b.b.c. Radio. Well I'm joined by our political reporter Ben Parker who's with me in the studio let's let's start with would suffer coastal there and just recap on the story Ben So yeah we had to raise coffee one in 2017 she's increased her majority since then as have all of the candidates across Suffolk that the Tory incumbents have been a very strong performance but such a close to an interesting one to raise coffee is of course the d.w.p. Department were. Complexions secretary so she's been all over the country really campaigning as many are well known for their cabinet ministers and they don't get to spend so much time in their constituency I mean in her case that clearly wasn't needed with such a comfortable cushion but yeah it is a lot of miles racked up Absolutely but so she's won incredibly comfortably there the Labor candidate we just have from a 2nd here Karen Matthews came in 2nd the Lib Dems in 3rd the Green Party and the independent candidates I magine pretty losing their deposits so in interesting seats that's quite a significant gap though so Cameron got what 121-3425 so to raise coffee has a majority of over $20000.00 so a huge gap a scenario no doubt whatsoever the Lib Dems result I think nobody's appointed but that they did tell me they were targeting such a costo and believe they could win there well in essence they fall and $24000.00 vote short so they didn't come close at all. To raise coffee increased the majority will be very comfortable now and it's looking like an incredibly good day for the conservatives not just in Suffolk but across the whole country. So elsewhere in Wave me Peter told us was returned again he's made us a significant gain on his majority this I wouldn't say surprise me but is a definite standout figure so Peter olders these been the see in Waverley since he ousted Bob blizzard the labor m.p. So I mean this was a fairly marginal seat for a little while we used to be a Lowestoft are the ones that people looked at but just on it will come to that in a minute and he's a very hardworking can situate c.m. Pay he's also pretty critical of the government's when he wants to pay so he certainly not anyone's in anyone's pocket this is always been against no deal he's always campaigned saying if we are going to leave the campaign for remain in the. Referendum we need to be leading with a good deal and he's increased his majority from just over 921-8000 so he's double dare I wondered perhaps if that might shrink of course because we know wavin is a fishing area lost out of the big fishing town that industry has struggled there looking to Bragg's it to be there you know Phoenix from the flame from the ashes type thing and I think he was probably done a bit of a favor when the brakes party stood down there because they did have a strong candidate lined up so I wonder if they might have siphoned off some of the Tory votes but that's not transpired and in fact Peter old us not nearly doubled his majority and I fit think will be feeling very happy this morning. Over in the west of the county Matthew Hancock in West Suffolk said he's health secretary also very visible on the election campaign often put forward when other cabinet members maybe just hold the leader even don't get put forward you know he was straight up there General Infirmary a couple of days ago. Theoretically smooth over the shenanigans there again a very comfortable majority increased Yes Hancock is the health secretary so he's one of the real big wigs he's on radio for a b.b.c. Breakfast all the time in front of cameras and behind the mikes and he's not spent an awful lot of time in West Africa during this campaign I think Eric totted up he's been in about 124 other constituencies while he's been sent to basically every hospital in the land where they think the Conservatives could win a seat basically and it's probably paid off he's not. You know added 6000 on to his majority so not really being in West Africa hasn't hurt him an awful lot and what will be interesting now is if we expect Boris Johnson is pm and a Tory government whether he keeps his job as health secular we asked him earlier deal that he wasn't he didn't say for sure yes I expect to keep might. Abhi suicidal Boris Johnson make that decision so we wait and wait wait and see how the other jobs are dished out I wonder whether actually being on the telly and other constituencies actually gives you more visible profile rather than door knocking or will speculate on that we can join live with the m.p. For such a coastal and Cabinet minister to raise coffee congratulations thank you very much . So I mean it might not come as a surprise but in an election anything can happen how do you feel. Well I've absolutely delighted and just one say very much thank you to those people who voted for me her appreciate this is now the 4th election in just under 10 years but I'm thrilled and it's good night for me here looking to have a coastal which I thank my campaign team and indeed my agent and everybody who voted but I'm also just want to recognize those people who run for election because it does take courage to do that and it's part of the important democratic process that we have that's right I mean all of the candidates you know put a huge amount of effort into it I mean how draining has it been over these last few weeks. Well election campaigns are always very intensive and having it this time a year isn't easy for candidates or not appreciate it's not easy for voters it is one of those situations it is unusual that we get back into more of a normal rhythm for elections and we now it looks like across the country looks like the Conservatives will have a good working majority to be able to do some significant things of course getting done but also be able to put into place the rest of our manifesto to so I can just cancel a screen Conservatives 233 seats labor 157 s.n.p. 36 Democrats 7 the u.p.a. 5 Joe Swinton the leader of the Liberal Democrats losing her seat in Scotland to the s.n.p. What you think of that. Well the s.n.p. Have had a very good night up in Scotland I've yet to see more details the results I think Joe's Winson took a brave House oppose approach to her how she wanted to leave the Liberal Democrats particularly when it came to ignoring the referendum of 2016 However you know Joe is somebody I'd worked with in the past in government and I'm sure that she will not give up. In trying to make sure that she wants to run again but nevertheless it hasn't been a great night for the liberal. Little but I do hope that we can now have a how can I put it a kind of politics this is no doubt this election has been very difficult very wearing and hopefully now we'll have some stability within parliament to be able to move on and as a as a parliaments and as a nation. We thank you very much for your time and for staying on to speak to us at c.s. Suffolk coastal n.p. Reelected at coffee with an increased majority another of our M.P.'s. Re-elected for central Suffolk and north which good morning to you down in your acceptance speech you said they wanted to heal the scars How deep are those scars do you think on British politics what has been a very difficult time been I think for many of us over the last 3 years you know there was what many people thought was a decisive referendum result and the arguing that's gone on over the last 3 years I think is deepened many divisions rather than heal them and I think as soon as we can actually now get on Oprah's majority government and deliver on a referendum result we will have to do then to me on the issues that people really care about I'm on a one nation centrist conservative and I like to see especially talking about the n.h.s. Education climate change and all those years of issues which are day to day issues that affect people's lives and I think they're going to chance to do that Dr Paul to Ben here you just mentioned there you're one nation conservative on a centrist do you think that's reflective of the Conservative Party now I think all the centrist M.P.'s were kicked out of Boris Johnson when they when they voted against him Well I'm not sure that's entirely true I I joined the party as an m.p. In 2010 because I was attracted by David Cameron's One Nation message I believe actually that they want we can get bricks it off the agenda that we have in the prime minister who also lives in one nation. And he's in my view a liberal conservative and somebody who wants to you actually mess to make a success of our public services and that's very much what I believe in either a practicing doctor and I absolutely believe that we've got to continue to invest now public services and support the staff who work in them and make sure we do the very best the patient as well as continuing to invest in our schools and where and indeed sir it's a focus on local issues just next to you Tom Hans was elected to be the switch and I doubt you'll meet up in the coming days and congratulate him he wants a northern bypass you very vocally don't How's that relationship going to work well I think we're going to sit down with Tom and help him come forward with some sensible rules about how we can. Help him to do the best rates which And I think suffix it is best when all of our employees are pulling in the same direction and I'm sure Tom will realize that and he'll also recognize that there isn't an evidence based case for an open bypass so there isn't I mean I have pretty reelected have a very different view on that but what we want to do is make sure we make it a success in our county town and support Tom in doing that as a newly elected in p. . Doc supposed to thank you very much for your time for staying on to speak to us congratulations on being reelected so we've heard from Tres coffee there and Dr Dan Poulter and Parker talking about you know being a One Nation centrist it will be interesting to see. Who Boris Johnson puts into his cabinets now that he doesn't need to maybe to appeal to the broader party and have token I don't know what Hildebrand it's going to say he stuck his cabinet with Briggs it is or at least peace who maybe campaigned for Maynard voted remember very quickly jumped on the Briggs it bandwagon if you will I mean they'll say they're. Supporting. Crecy of course but it was very much M.P.'s who were right a part of the vote leave campaign or or joined it after the result came in so and maybe that's made the difference because it made didn't and she wanted more of a mixed bag and she wanted to kind of please the remain County as well as the leave and that kind of heartbreaks it is within the conservative faction or not didn't work for probably a good point people like Philip Pam and he was the chancellor at the time you had people like Nigel for Raj being able to point at the government and say well look it's full of remain as why would you vote for these people they're not going to deliver breaks it whereas what Boris Johnson had I guess was for himself he was one of the figureheads of the vote leave campaign and he could also say well knew no my foreign secretary is a leave my home secretary's a lever so is my chancellor So there was always that defense that then he could fall back on to a degree and as the result feeding in now it appears to be working well let's hear from Sandy Martin so I don't think he's giving any further interviews he was the m.p. For Ipswich he was voted in in the 2017 election ousting Ben Gumma who for the conservatives he has now been trumped So it was an $800.00 majority that Sandy had when he was voted in comes in with a 5 and a half 1000 majority so not just a tight run race an absolute a thumping. And this is what he had to say. On the podium I don't think all my team all of you know. I didn't cost you could do to get us you. To do it we want. It is in the situation or it shows a degree. In the. Great evening I what. Right to do so it's very I want to stand for elected office again which means that I feel my hands say what I really think and what I really think is that democracy is not a given we count on the studio you bet you will always continue in order to make it all seem to work people need understanding and we have the letter in this country which is better educated but they say they need the votes just to have some last suit the truth the politicians. Might be expected to die during the program they want to speak to the global to solve that polls but there is a huge difference between that and deliberately proposing our awful lot and some of the stuff being put out of the low few day to live to be Republican. I think it goes away all and if you think that could be considered to be the judgments of political discourse Let's go to take away you want to put a label on tax your God they will put up taxes for everybody in $20000.00 to you they will introduce it into evidence tax every legacy over $125000.00 pounds all of these are completely untrue and the people who bring them to you but they were completely beyond true and even it was on the out right on its creation all complete big instruments who so close to deceive the electorate where science fiction would pounds deliberately become radio interviews on unknowns and Twitter accounts designed to attract followers and among the posing but they are this way and business because it will deliberately create all the fake Carolla in the woods trial or what. That was. I think the message that comes out of the kitchen and for more but I'd like to have it last week so that the only way you can win elections in this country is by just as. Strong United States and I think. That the all the money democracy that they say. I like. And say. That it was not I do know that. When I went. Through to this country when people really like the effects of climate change and the effects of a no deal breakers it will focus on we still have faith in our city I think probably the. Candidates Sunday Monson the former m.p. For what you lost out to the conservative spine I signal a number of votes 5 and a half 1000 and quite an amazing speech Ben Parker our political reporter say that was extraordinary he said at the start of the tradition is you're fairly magnanimous in defeat and you say Oh I'm very disappointed to lose become graduations to the new amp a no none of that he was obviously incredibly upset about the way that he says the Tories have handled the campaign war he calls straight up lies he mentioned there about a cut to radio interview I think I know which one he's referencing which is an interview . Was recorded it was it was broadcast here in which I think one Rights wing leaning news outlet supposedly cut it to make it sound like he was saying he knows better than his constituents. So he was clearly very. Very knocked off about the way the campaign's been for Hard to say. If we had won the we would have said in the think about that or if it was kind of you know I mean of lost and I'm very annoyed so I'm going to have my say I'm going to have my say I mean talking about the kind of decision from a should mean lots of the kind of traditional media have been trying to kind of highlights and explain the dissin from ation but dispute it which it happens particularly to the pictures of the little boy on the floor coats and leads infirmary but there's been other things as well where I've seen kind of analysis kind of 24 hours later of of which account spread water and you know the influence that has within the 1st couple of hours and the trouble is the the correction to something that's incorrect is is an unemployment lost Illinois what you have is a tweet or a Facebook post that says something that's outlandish isn't correct is factually completely wrong and that gets shared already tweeted tens or hundreds of thousands of time and then that's there now not only do you is that really tweeted original message there but people then take screenshots of that and tweet it off Facebook post it themselves so it's just there forever and it gets repeated and so when an apology comes out or a correction comes out of this original post which is got 100000 retreats the apology of the correction gets about 4000 so the damage has been done already that it's information is there and a correction barely has any impact and as well as well as that if you're kind of you know sat on your phone looking at social media and you see you see something you know that's that's nonsense but then the other things which are nonsense kind of dismissed altogether Well it's all it's all nonsense all lies ever realize and you get this you know as we heard in one of the boxes I did on my way and you know I didn't vote you know no one speaks to me so they're all the same you know and it feeds into that kind of narrative as well and some of the dangers about social media as well certainly on on Facebook and Twitter is. You tend to follow people who have a similar political view to yourself so what you end up in is kind of this echo chamber where you only hear things that are aligned to your political view and it reinforces what you believe already you never very much hear the the opponent's view on things and so that just reinforces views and it becomes that. You're so ingrained that what you believe to be true because that's all you're hearing reinforces that claim that your opponents view you can dismiss very easily as lies as fake news let's just glance across the national results and we've had all of Suffolk in we have Conservative M.P.'s across all of our constituencies here so nationally 481 of the 650 seats have been declared so the conservatives are currently on 249 they've gained 34 seats Labor have 167 they've lost 46 seats the s.n.p. Up in Scotland on 41 with a gain of 12 including significantly jokes Winston the Liberal Democrat leaders say 8 Liberal Democrats are on 7 the d u p 5 and other pa
