Hello, good morning. We are on top ofa hello, good morning. We are on top of a roof at westminster. And it is a cloudy morning, an overcast morning, and it is the morning that theresa may, another morning where theresa may, another morning where theresa may, another morning where theresa may has to fight for her political life. She is going to meet her backbench conservative mps later and set out her case. In Downing Street. The Prime Minister will also chair a meeting of her newly reshuffled cabinet. Michael gove, one of the driving forces behind brexit, has returned to the front bench. Mrs may is also still trying to secure a deal with the democratic unionists to ensure theyll back her at westminster. Our Political Correspondent tom bateman reports. Back at the heart of government Michael Goves last regular appearances on this street were before to may became pm. She sacked her old opponent after the bruising Eu Referendum campaign. Good evening, thank you. He will now sit alongside borisjohnson. The two men spectacularly fell out over the Tory Leadership Contest last year. The Foreign Secretary has denied having his eye on the top job again, calling for mps to rally around mrs may. Jeremy corbyn did not win this election. Its absolutely right that she should go ahead, form a government and deliver on the priorities of the people. Im going to be backing her, and absolutely everybody im talking to is going to be backing her as well. Mrs mays reshuffle sees damian green, an old friend of the Prime Minister, become first Secretary Of State. Effectively mrs mays number two. FormerJustice Secretary liz truss has been demoted, taking a lower ranking job in the treasury. Other key figures staying where they are arejeremy hunt and liam fox. Mrs may will hope the reshuffle, most notable for its lack of changes, will help her reach out to tory mps. She said last night she intends to stay in herjob. I said during the Election Campaign that if re elected, i would intend to serve a full time. What i am doing now is actually getting on with the immediate job. I think that is what is important and what the public would expect. They want to see government providing that certainty and stability. But life without a majority the House Of Commons will be very different. The pm may have to wave goodbye to some of her policy plans. Today, she will meet with her own backbenchers, many of whom will be looking for reassurances. She now faces the challenge of starting brexit talks with her authority weakened and her long term future still in doubt. Tom bateman, bbc news. Norman smith is here. Where are we this Monday Morning . norman smith is here. Where are we this Monday Morning . I think kind of the nearest analogy i can give is if you imagine getting a jigsaw, throwing it up in the air and land on the floor and nobody knows how to put the pieces back together. Basically, everything has changed. Mrs may is still in Downing Street, but what we saw over the weekend was the cabinet seizing power. They are running the show, telling mrs may how she will conduct herself and presenters of, how she needs to reach out of the party. Even talking about shaping the sort of policies she is going to pursue. And in terms of the manifesto are going to have to bejumped. Of the manifesto are going to have to be jumped. The of the manifesto are going to have to bejumped. The dup, yes, it is probably going to be ok to get a deal on a ghostly basis, but that is perhaps the worst sort of arrangement for mrs may. If you have arrangement for mrs may. If you have a day by day deal, you need a Prime Minister who is a bit of a wheeler dealer, but arm round peoples back and get them on board, come on, youre going to back us on this. Not the kind of politician that theresa may is. On top of that, the battle lines are being drawn again over brexit. It is where it clear we are heading for the battle of brexit. Round two, with all of the old remainers thinking, right, now is oui remainers thinking, right, now is our moment to pick away at some of the policies mrs may was suggesting an brexit, such as for example, maybe we will have no guilt. They dont want that. Maybe we could be in the Single Market and have a norway option. For those who thought brexit was signed, sealed and delivered, im afraid that whole row looks like starting again, as mrs may fozz opponents mrs mays opponents use this moment to aim for a closer Associate Members of the eu, sort of half in, half out point thank you. Interesting political times. Heresjoanna with a summary of the days news. Good morning. Exit polls following the first round of frances parliamentary election suggest president macrons new Centrist Party is on course for a landslide victory. Projections show La Republique en marche and its modem ally look set to win up to a45 of the 577 seats in Frances National assembly. The party was only set up one year ago. The final outcome will be decided in a run off next sunday. Detectives investigating the London Bridge attack have made a further arrest in east london. A 19 year old man was detained in barking on suspicion of terrorism offences shortly before iopm last night. Both the white house and Downing Street have dismissed a report that donald trump wants to delay his proposed state visit to the uk until he has the support of the british public. An online petition was signed by nearly two Million People who wanted to block The American President s trip to britain. The opposition was inflamed by mr trumps criticism of london mayor sadiq khans response to the London Bridge terror attack. A new poll suggests many children are confused about where their food comes from. One third of 5 7 year old survey by the British Nutrition foundation thought cheesecake came from a plant, not an animal. Nearly a quarter thought prawns come from plants, and a fifth of those questioned Thought Chips we re of those questioned Thought Chips were also from animals. Thats a summary of the latest bbc news. More at 9 30am. Now the sport, with katherine downes. Thanks, joanne, such a busy weekend of sport. Chris coleman thinks they need to win all four of their remaining World Cup Qualifiers if they are to reach next years finals. A penalty for aaron ramsey gave them the lead. But the home side levelled, leaving wales four points behind. The Republic Of Ireland drew with austria. We were looking to win it in the last ten minutes. Once they equalised, you know, they have to and puffed, we had two or three breakaways there. It could have been different. Overall, good game, tough game, two good teams. For us one point is a good teams. For us one point is a good point. The england manager Gareth Southgate says it is up to clu bs to Gareth Southgate says it is up to clubs to nurture young talent. England National Football team have won a world cup. Evertons Manik Calvert Living with the goal. Goalkeeper Freddie Woodman making an amazing save to make sure that england lifted the trophy. Obviously, ultimately the aim is that those players come through to the seniors. A big part of that is for them to get opportunities with their clubs. I think they have shown that if the Under 20s Real World champions, there is enough players there to fulfil careers in the game without clubs looking elsewhere. History was made in paris as well. Rafa nadal thought he would be fishing on his boat of majorca by now, not winning the french open for a record tenth time. He cruised back sta n a record tenth time. He cruised back Stan Wawrinka in ten sets to take his 15th major cycle. He has won grand slams in his teens, 20s and his 30s. And Lewis Hamiltons formula 1 Title Challenge is back on track. He won the canadian grand prix, leading from start to finish in montreal to take the chequered flag for the sixth time and cut Sebastian Vettels Championship Lead to six points after he could only finish in fourth. My first win he was ten years ago. To repeat it this weekend is incredibly special. I really have to thank my team, who made this possible. The guys back at the factory have worked so hard to really fix what we had in the last race to bring it here. Sir Patrick Stewart was asking the questions, if you didnt recognise him thats all the sport, back to you, victoria, in westminster. Thank you very much. More sport throughout the warning. Good morning, it is Monday Morning, it is overcast and cloudy and warm, it is overcast and cloudy and warm, it is overcast and cloudy and warm, it is in mourning that theresa may, the Prime Minister, for now, is fighting for her political life. So it is the morning. Theresa may is fighting for her political life this morning as she prepares to meet conservative mps to persuade them she can stay on in the job. It looks like shell be forced to abandon so many of the promises shed made in the Party Manifesto a manifesto many blame, in part, for the partys downfall in last weeks election and shes had to bring back into her cabinet michael gove, who she fired less than a year ago. And if she does manage to cling on to power, overshadowing everything is the knowledge that in one week from today she must begin negotiations that will determine this countrys future in so many ways brexit. Heres how we get here i have just chaired a meeting of the cabinet. My simple proposition is, it should be our choice. We want to put a case out to the people of britain of a society. Its an opportunity for the people of this country to change the direction. And a brexit that works for all. People will write phds about the 2017 election for the next 25 years i think weve witnessed a political earthquake. And what were saying is the conservatives are the largest party. Note they dont have an overall majority at this stage. 314 for the conservatives, thats down 17. If accurate, it means that theresa may hasjust presided over the greatest catastrophe that i can think of in the conservative partys history. I cannot see any way at all that the conservatives can get to the 326 mark. Loss after loss for the conservatives. The Prime Minister called the election because she wanted a mandate. Well, the mandate shes got is lost conservative seats, lost votes, lost support, and lost confidence. She doesnt shy from difficult decisions, but she now has to obviously consider her position. I have just been to the her majesty the queen, and i will now form a government, a government that can provide certainty and lead britain forward at this critical time for our country. The Prime Minister has spoken with me this morning, and we will enter discussions with the conservatives to explore how it may be possible to bring stability to our nation at this time of great challenge. Thank you very much. Not another one . its quite possible, quite possible therell be an election later this year or early next year, and that might be a good thing because we cannot go on with a period of great instability. Theresa may is a dead woman walking, itsjust how long shes going to remain on death row. And im sorry, theresa may, you can pray to god in that church right now you have had it. Shes won the most seats, 56 seats more than labour, shes won the biggest share of the vote for 3h years. It wasnt the big majority that she wanted, that we wanted. We now have to get on and make the best of it. With me is jacob rhys mogg. When the election was called you said its a Lwa Ys Election was called you said its always a good idea to trust the british people and ask them for their say. What do you think they have said with this outcome . What i doi have said with this outcome . What i do i think they have said . I think the conservatives won. It is the highest share of the vote weve got since 1983. What do you think was said with the fact that there isnt a majority . They have said nothing about brexit because brexit was not at the heart of the campaign. Thats what theresa may wanted it to be . It is what she wanted, but its not what she got. You get all the remainers coming on now saying the campaign was all about brexit. They said nothing beforehand. Now they say the voters said something they didnt. You say its not about brexit. Then what does it mean . think we have to be honest about it, it was a raspberry at the conservative manifesto. That was the bit that got us into trouble. I dont think it was. Brexit was in the conservative manifesto. But that wasnt what was the focus of the campaign, was it . The campaign was about social care and Jeremy Corbyn campaigned well. He didnt do as well as Michael Howard in 2005, but nonetheless Jeremy Corbyn well as Michael Howard in 2005, but nonethelessJeremy Corbyn did much better than the expectations and politics is very much about expectation and momentum. politics is very much about expectation and momentum. I mean perhaps, sorry to interrupt, perhaps it was the electorate saying to mrs may, we dont particularly like you. We dont particularly like your domestic pollees, we dont like your policy on brexit . I dont think thats right because mrs may got more votes than tony blair got in 199. More physical number votes. Im not trying to pretend the election was an enormous triumph, it wasnt as bad as some people have written up. Mrs may got a complete mandate. Last year you said Boris Johnson would make a great Prime Minister and leader of the conservative party. He has the sense to bea conservative party. He has the sense to be a unifier and a representative of the nation on the world stage. Do you still believe that . of the nation on the world stage. Do you still believe that . I think borisjohnson is a great man. One of the really big figures of british politics. Mrs may is the Prime Minister. There is no vacancies. Boris said he doesnt want to become leader now. Do you believe that . We need mrs may to remain. We need mrs may to deliver on brexit. People have been talking about disasters. Disasters are when the titanic sinks not and when your vote share goes up. Some people used the word catastrophe . Calm and deliberation is what we need and that leads us to the conclusion that mrs may is the right. We have a selection of voters here. Problem with sound you heard what rhys mogg said. Her campaign was about strong leadership, but in my view, what should have happened is to speak about the economy because in the la st two about the economy because in the last two elections when mr cameron was Prime Minister, thats what won the vote. I want to ask you is mrs may the right lady to use jacob rhys moggs word for thejob may the right lady to use jacob rhys moggs word for the job right now . Thats what weve got and unfortunately thats got to remain. Who else wants to Say Something about that . Alex. I would like to ask a question if i could. I was really encouraged as a youth worker. I work really encouraged as a youth worker. Iwork in really encouraged as a youth worker. I work in luton and i was really encouraged that young people came out and voted and id love to know what you think young people have been saying in the vote because i think thats fascinating the early signs that were seeing . It was very interesting and its a change from previous elections. I think its very good news. I think you have a better mandate for all mps, the more people turn out to vote and the turn out was up election. Were getting close to 7 which was 70 which was routine. We need to use social media to communicate our message. The leaflets i put out are successful with a more mature community, but im not sure they are right for the younger votes and thats what we have got to get through. We dont have the exact figures, but when the election was called 1. 5 million 18 to 2a year olds registered to vote. What do you think it is saying if turn out among 18 to 2a year olds is as high as people are saying. Are they saying we dont want a hard brexit . They care about the future. Theyre voting for the nhs, theyre voting for he had caution and voting for really key policies and i think they want a Better Future for everybody. Can i add one thing . Yes. The clear message from brexit and from so many young people voting is people are fed up with business as normal. They dont want the political elite of which i am a part, icant political elite of which i am a part, i cant depatch myself from it. They dont want the political elite carrying on as they have done. They want something fresher and a Greater Trust in democracy. But thats what theresa may is doing. She is carrying on as though it is business as usual. Well, we still have to have a government within this context. It is about the message that weve got to deliver and thats the key we should pick up from the General Election. A quick show of hands. We have got a mixture of voters, green, lib dems, labour, conservatives, who thinks its right that theresa may continues as Prime Minister now . Hands up. Right now. Right now. So most of you do. Ok. Thats interesting. That includes some Labour Voters there as well. Thats interesting. Alex, youre a labour voter, why . It feels like in the short term i would agree, we dont need another General Election. Thats crazy. I dont think she has the confidence of the country or the confidence of her party and i cant see it lasting long, but right now for the short season, perhaps its right. All right, thank you. Doesnt itjust show the right. All right, thank you. Doesnt it just show the wisdom of the british people . You gather together a group and they calmly want to see things carry on, having the country carrying on. That may not have been on the tip of our tongues, but it goes back to what you voted for. You can trust the people. The british people get things right. How long will theresa may last . An eternity. Thank you very much. Thank you for coming on the programme. Much more from our voters and from politicians from our voters and from politicians from all parties throughout the morning. Good morning. Its the monday after that election welcome to westminster. Were on a roof and why not . Weve got a group of voters from different parties. We will hear from different parties. We will hear from senior politicians, labour defying all the pundits and some within their own party and celebrating the Election Result. Some say as if it was a have you beeningtry with many insisting they can still go on to form a government. We have a chaotic situation with a government that sought re election on the basis of wanting a bigger mandate and a bigger majority to bring stability to british politics, and what have we got . A Minority Government relying on the dup to try and get business through the House Of Commons when they have no agreed positions, as far as i can work out, on most issues. It seems to me chaotic, and i think we are quite ready and able to put forward a serious programme which obviously has massive support in this country. Remember, this Election Campaign turned around a great deal on the basis of an awful lot of people rejecting the politics of fear and instead embracing the politics of hope that we can challenge austerity and we can actually start sharing the wealth out in this country a bit better. Lets talk to Emily Thornbury who is the shadow Foreign Secretary as you know and an islington mp. Where are we today . Well, good question i think that what has been so interesting in this election is that labour has defied all expectations. I think that weve had a really popular manifesto that has drawn more and more and more support and i think that people realise that it doesnt have to be this way. There is an alternative. I think whats also really interesting is if you continue to look at the polling we continue to look at the polling we continue to look at the polling we continue to get even more popular after the General Election and if an election was called today, we would win. There wont be an election today. Im just win. There wont be an election today. Imjust saying. Win. There wont be an election today. Im just saying. You asked me where we are, thats where we are. What are you going to do to capitalise on the extra mps that you 110w capitalise on the extra mps that you now have, not the largest party, but what are you going to did . Were going to make sure we hold their feet to the fire. So where we can, for example, on the queens speech, we will be trying to ensure that we hold them to account, that where there are things that we profoundly disagree with them, where we think we will be able to defeat them, we will put out amendments and keep harrining them. Jeremy corbyn said he would put down an amendment to the queens speech. Thats the governments programme of legislation over however long. If you put down an amendment next monday, what does that mean in practical terms . Explain to what our audience what you would be hoping to do with that amendment . The queens speech is the opportunity for the government to get the queen to read for a couple of pages where she says my government this and my government that and its supposed to be their vision for where they want to take britainment we think very havent got much of a vision and they have no idea what they are going to put m, no idea what they are going to put in, they have to negotiate with their backbenchers and negotiate with the dup. But we will have, we have a clear vision of what we want to do with britain, so we will be looking to that and we will be looking to that and we will be looking to that and we will be looking to what it is that they have put down and putting down our vision and our amendments and asking parliament to vote on that. Right, and you would expect all of the conservative party and all of the dup, will vote for the governments programme, not your amendment, dup, will vote for the governments programme, not youramendment, is that what youre saying . Yeah. It depends. To vote for your vision of britain . The classic way would be a government wins an election on their manifesto and then that ma nifesto their manifesto and then that manifesto is basically boiled down to two pages by the queen and then thats their programme for government. Well, they cant do that, can they . Because they havent got a majority and they havent got their backbenchers agreeing with them. They have a majority with the dup. Its wafer thin . Two lost their jobs and the other one lost his seat. They have a majority with the dup . They have got a majority, but a majority for what . Thats where we are and thats why the queens speech is quite important, we want to know what it is they agree to and then we will be pushing them and keep pushing them. We heard from some voters keep pushing them. We heard from some voters some of keep pushing them. We heard from some voters some of whom are labour who say that it is right that theresa may continues for the moment, for a period of stability. What do you say to our voters . Well, you know, its, lets see what happens. I mean, the reality is that she won the election in one respect, but in the major respect she didnt. But in the major respectshedidnt. The respect that her manifesto in the respect that her manifesto didnt win. People dont have confidence in her. She is a wounded Prime Minister. She is not really going to be able to do anything. She is going to have to do it in agreement with the dup which causes all kinds of problems in terms of the Peace Process in Northern Ireland. If you want me to Start Talking about that, thats really worrying. How theyre going to patch this together, who knows . In the meantime, there is brexit going on and thats really important to get rightment and we have a very different idea about what kind of Brexit Negotiations we should behaving than frankly theresa may seem to be envisaging. Labour voters here. Danny, what do you want labour to do, if anything . Well, i think that the Labour Government needs to prepare to be in government in the eventualality thats the situation that can happen, but on a wider level this points out that the Electoral System in this country needs electoral reform. That could bea needs electoral reform. That could be a whole two Hour Programme were not going to get into that now can ijust not going to get into that now can i just say to danny, absolutely. Not going to get into that now can ijust say to danny, absolutely. I have been saying to everybody, dont put your posters away, put them in the top drawer because there will be another election, it looks like, i am afraid and people may not want to have it, but it looks like thats where were going to have to go. Matt . One of the reasons that people are saying labour have won, i dont think we have won, but it has been a phenomenal turn around in six weeksment they werent saying if we dont win, thats it. The response has been phenomenal. What do you wa nt has been phenomenal. What do you want labour to do now to capitalise on their success on thursday . Keep doing what they have been doing over the last six weeks. Who knows what they can achieve. A majority is achievable. One thing we learned over two years achievable. One thing we learned over two yea rs is achievable. One thing we learned over two years is a Disawe Nighted Party is an under Popular Party and what happened in that election is we we re what happened in that election is we were united and what were going to see now is the labour party sticking together and look at the tories, they are going to be falling to pieces. Can i just they are going to be falling to pieces. Can ijust ask they are going to be falling to pieces. Can i just ask you they are going to be falling to pieces. Can ijust ask you about brexit . Some people are not clear where Labour Stance on brexit. You have talked about leaving the Single Market and the Customs Union and ending freedom of movement. Whats your position . I have explained this and ill do it again. We wanted to stay in the European Union but we kacar instructions from the british people so we are leaving. How we take our instructions. Nobody voted by poorer or lose theirjob. It has to bea poorer or lose theirjob. It has to be a Jobs First Brexit. Does that mean staying in the Single Market . The difficulty is that we find it very difficult to envisage how we would remain in the Single Market. The reality is that. It does mean leaving the Single Market . But we wa nt to leaving the Single Market . But we want to have tariff free, red tape free access to the Single Market. This is a nuanced position. It is nuanced but entirely consistent. I was Shadow Brexit and then shadow Foreign Secretary. I havent ever to make this clear. It is my fault, but i have said that hundreds of times. It is the economy first, the safety and security of our nation and then the economy so quite do you understand labours brexit position . No, if you look through the labour manifesto they want to re nationalise. Manifesto they want to renationalise. We are talking about brexit now. I am linking it. Here you are talking about inevitably remaining a member of the Single Market. You cant do both of those things. I said, it is not inevitable that we remain in the Single Market. If we are leaving the eu, it seems it is very difficult for us to remain in the Single Market. We want to have access to the Single Market, and that has to be overwhelmingly our priority. But at. Listen, nobody has left the European Union before. If we went into it in good faith and said to the europeans, we have a problem, we wa nt to the europeans, we have a problem, we want to leave, lets not do negotiations like theresa may stamping her feet and saying, negotiations like theresa may Stamping Herfeet and saying, i want, i want, Stamping Herfeet and saying, i want, iwant, i Stamping Herfeet and saying, i want, i want, i want. Stamping herfeet and saying, i want, iwant, iwant. You Stamping Herfeet and saying, i want, i want, i want. You go along and say, this is what we think we should be doing and how about this . Talking to them, listening to them, and working out a compromise, that is what our approach should be. You need to go, thank you very much, emily thornberry. Lets talk more about brexit. What do you want theresa may to do now . Having failed to get a majority and having failed to get a majority and having failed to get a majority and having failed to get the mandate she was asking forfrom to get the mandate she was asking for from the british to get the mandate she was asking forfrom the british people, does she need to change her approach to brexit. Or not . Lets hearfrom toby. I think she needs to amend her views on the whole thing. To me there seems a middle ground in terms of what we were saying, it has to be a Jobs First Brexit which has the economys best interests at heart. Theresa may has said she is leaving the Single Market, do you want her to change her mind . Absolutely, the good thing about this is softening the stance and sorting out a position where we can move Forward Asa Position where we can move forward as a nation. Everything about the last couple of years of politics has been about division, and i think we need unity. Anyone else . Her rhetoric of being a citizen has been incredibly divisive. It should be a real lesson about bringing the country together. She has spoken about it but she has divided the country more. You have to understand that what everybody wants at this point, i really do not think she actually wants to take anything at all away, it is a way of starting negotiation and conversation. When you get to negotiations, you do not tell the party that you are negotiating with that you are not ready to go all the way there. It is a point of getting a way to Start Talking with europe and trying to get the best deal for britain. Lets bring in neil coyle, a labour mp, nominated Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Leader but has since been one of his Heart Harshest critics. Do you now eat your words . All of the humble pie has been scoffed by over the weekend but i am happy to have my share. People overestimated the enthusiasm of some of the new members and policies that were more radical, like tuition fees. We all underestimated how angry people still work with theresa may over brexit, as you have been talking about. Also, after seven years of theresa may being in government, she kept saying she cared about the people who were just about managing, but in her manifesto she offered nothing for the people who have been struggling, nothing for the police or house building. We saw what happened with the social c. What do you do now, then . Everything has changed and nothing has changed. Yes, it is great to have more labour mps and great to have, you know, the chance to be nearer government, but nobody should be suggesting that we have won this election by any stretch of the mark. The tories are still there and able to do the damage. I wanted to be in. To make sure we have more police and that we are building more affordable housing. Do you want another election . I think it is inevitable. Theresa may has affected her own chances. When you say it is inevitable, can you describe to me in parliamentary terms why it would end up being inevitable . What has to happen for an external election . think theresa may has no mandate. She has a manifesto that she cannot deliver, a party that is angry. She has to lose a covered in smoke in the House Of Commons. All of her conservative mps and the dup take her to a majority position. She has to lose a confidence vote. All of those in a Confidence Motion one would expect to vote for her. How is a General Election inevitable . You are underestimating how ruthlessly tory party is. Some of her own mps would vote against her . Yes, she said this election is only about herself. People have shifted, they wa nt to herself. People have shifted, they want to know what is happening with the Single Market. The labour party has won in kensington and canterbury, i think partly on remain alone. People are angry and concerned about drug. They want her to change her position. Some in her party will have to force to do that people are concerned rod lawler. What do you think about the deal with the dup . I think it is a disgrace. I thought tim farrons Views Abortion and being gay were bizarre, but the dup are alarming. We have seen what the snp were doing, and thankfully they have been knocked back. We have seen a rise in tension in Northern Ireland. Brexit has so many costs and consequences and risks that this government are trying to ignore. The cracks are widening. Thank you, neil coyle, labourmp. Widening. Thank you, neil coyle, labour mp. More from our voters later. Lets hear the news and sport withjoanne. Later. Lets hear the news and sport with joanne. Theresa later. Lets hear the news and sport withjoanne.

Thou said, i want theresa may to put together a package of ideas for how to make the country forward. How to take the country forward. How to take the country forward. How to take the country forward. What is the deal with the dup . What kind of brexit are we asking for . I have still no idea. Elspeth on Facebook Says, this is how a self serving politician, this is house of Serving Politicians mess with our country and our future. What a mess who can you trust . Lets talk a bit more about the conservatives and the fact that they are going to have to rely on Northern Irelands dups ten mps to give them a majority. But at what price . Lets talk to Alistair Ross, a former dup junior minister. Price . Lets talk to Alistair Ross, a former dupjunior minister. We can also hear from peter a former dupjunior minister. We can also hearfrom peter lynas, director of. Who is director of the Evangelical Alliance. It is a christian organisation. He is also in belfast. And alan murray is a transgender woman and o2 in belfast. And alan murray is a transgender woman and 02 bt campaigner from Northern Ireland transgender woman and 02 bt campaignerfrom Northern Ireland ellen marie. Alistair ross, the most powerful woman in britain goes to number ten to meet the Prime Minister. What will Arlene Foster be asking for in exchange for supporting a tory government . The clue is in the document that was produced two years ago when everyone thought we were heading towards a Hung Parliament. Isuspect thought we were heading towards a Hung Parliament. I suspect that what arlene and the dup team will be asking for is three things. To secure Northern Irelands position within the uk and play a greater role in national politics. Secondly, there will be an ask around additional revenue for the Northern Ireland block grant. If there is an executive up and running, perhaps additional economic levers to help us additional economic levers to help us become more economically competitive here in Northern Ireland. Thirdly, rob post brexit world, as you will be aware the dup wa nt world, as you will be aware the dup want a soft border with the irish republic. That means there is a free flow of people who will go up and down the country between Northern Ireland and the Republic Of Ireland ona ireland and the Republic Of Ireland on a daily basis for work. Also the businesses on both sides of the border who have supply teams that straddle the border. Those are the things that the dup will be asking for in the discussions with the conservatives over the coming days. We have just got this in from reuters. Arlene foster, the dup leader, saying her Priority Talks with the Prime Minister are about defending the United Kingdom and a good brexit deal. Peter lynas, good morning to you. What is your view on this deal between the dup on the conservatives was blog good morning, victoria. We work across various parties in Northern Ireland. The dup, along with many others. In a sense, i agree with alistair. The dup set out sometimes two years ago. The dup sometimes misunderstood, they are not a simple Party Of The Right or left, they have objected to some of the things are conservative manifesto around welfare reform. They want to see the triple lock and wa nt they want to see the triple lock and want to fuel allowance capped, many of their voters are class. They will disagree with the conservatives there. Northern ireland has the young European Land border. A soft brexit, that will have a big impact European Land border. There will be something around the terror and extremism stuff. We have a very real understanding of terrorism here in Northern Ireland, it is different from extremism. The dup have been betrayed as an extreme party over the weekend, that is unhelpful, there is counter extremism legislation that it is important that we get right but it really needs to go to the end whether its violence and terrorism. We have a real understanding of that. Let me bring in ellen murray, and Lgbt Campaigner. Is there anything extreme you have just heard from either peter lynas or Alistair Ross . Good morning. I dont think i have heard anything necessarily extreme from either of them so far. However, the dups social policies around lg bt rights the dups social policies around lgbt rights and their history, both in parliament and at home in the am of eric murray poor. In the assembly are poor. We can expect a stagnation of lgbt rights if the dup have the power to start influencing the tories on what they can and cannot introduce as legislation. We have various people in the audience who want to talk about the dups views on Same Sex Marriage and abortion. What do you think about this Potential Deal between the dup and the conservatives . this Potential Deal between the dup and the conservatives . I think it is and the conservatives . I think it is a disgrace and i also think. Why is Ita A Disgrace and i also think. Why is it a disgrace . Well, it is a disgrace because they are a party known for having quite extreme views and they have no i mean weve just, we passed like Same Sex Marriage a few years ago and now the conservatives did and now theyre with a party which doesnt, which discriminates against lgbt people. On religious grounds they dont want Same Sex Marriage in church. Will . Theresa may is not giving the reassurances that lg bt theresa may is not giving the reassurances that lgbt ought to be protected. She has pointed her new Justice Secretary who has a number of homophobic records. He voted against, they voted against the consent in the 19905, same sex consent in the 19905, 5ame 5ex marriage on both occasions and she i5 marriage on both occasions and she is not giving those rea55urance5 that are needed. Do you think legislation in england and wales is going to change when it comes to equal rights as a result of a deal with the dup . Thats the point. I dont think thats going to change. The whole e55ence dont think thats going to change. The whole essence of having the collaboration with the dup wa5 the whole essence of having the collaboration with the dup was to get through parliament, get a majority that the conservative party needs and to be able to focus on the thing5 ahead like brexit sol needs and to be able to focus on the thing5 ahead like brexit so i dont think their views i5 thing5 ahead like brexit so i dont think their views is going to colour the views of the conservative party. Ido the views of the conservative party. I do think that the dup as you quite rightly said, i dont think they are going to try and influence Social Policy in the uk. What they are looking for is economic assurances and extra economic aid in Northern Ireland, but i do think someone raised a point earlier about whether the conservative government can then influential change in Northern Ireland but i do think it is important to remember we have a devolved assembly in Northern Ireland and thats a matter for people of Northern Ireland and whether as was seen in this country you will see Social Change come about through a grass roots movement. I dont really think its the right approach to say well, were going to force this change into Northern Ireland as much as i would believe that its the right direction. Let me introduce you to clare murphy. Come nearer. Clare murphy is from the british pregnancy advisory service. What is your issue with the dup doing a deal with the conservatives . Well, you know, i think weve heard the word extreme used this morning and when it comes to abortion that is fair. Nothing will change in england and wales . Thats a fair and legitimate word when it comes to the dup. This is a party that believes that it is moral and right to compel a woman who is carrying a pregnancy where the baby has no skull to compel that woman to carry that pregnancy to term. It doesnt actually represent Public Opinion in Northern Ireland on these issues. There is a strong ground swell of Public Opinion in favour of decriminalisation of abortion in Northern Ireland and for women to be able to access abortion at least in certain circumstances and i think the only good thing we can say about this situation is at least its brought attention to whats going on in Northern Ireland. In terms of womens access to services. From what were told the dup, in terms of this deal, will be wanting, you notion billions poured into the Northern Ireland economy, will be wanting perhaps theresa may to dump some of her policies from her ma nifesto. Some of her policies from her manifesto. There is nothing, theyre not demanding anything, theyre not demanding restrictions on women in england and wales. Its interesting you say that, though because the dup do vote in westminster on issues that only pertain to women in england and wales, but they vote on abortion issues so when they say they dont intervene they do intervene. I was suggesting it wouldnt be part of this deal though . Well, lets hope its not pa rt though . Well, lets hope its not part of this deal, but lets use this opportunity to really stand up and make our voices heard on the kind of situation, you know, to really make clear our voice is on how we feel about the situation for women in Northern Ireland. Im going to bring Alistair Ross in. A former dupjunior to bring Alistair Ross in. A former dup junior ministerment there are a number of people who are really worried about the Peace Process, Alistair Ross because they say for the good friday agreement the British Government has to be neutral, has to be totally impartial when it comes to the Peace Process so how can they be impartial, neutral when they are doing a deal with the dup . Ifi can say neutral when they are doing a deal with the dup . If i can say the neutral when they are doing a deal with the dup . Ifi can say the dup isa with the dup . Ifi can say the dup is a socially conservative party, but Northern Ireland is socially conservative, you know, in comparison to the rest of the United Kingdom and other parties also hold the same view that the 196 abortion act shouldnt be extended to Northern Ireland. It is notjust the dup, the sdlp and most of the Unionist Party would hold that view as well. In terms of the process, i have heard a lot about this from particularly labour mps in the last 24 hours. It would almost suggests that the labour party when they were in government didnt try to do deals with the dup and of course they did and they would have taken sides at different times. Yes, absolutely, but just a different times. Yes, absolutely, butjust a minute. It stands to reason that the government will be be holden to the dup and that doesnt make them neutral or impartial when it comes to the Peace Process . Impartial when it comes to the Peace Process . It is not a mergerment It Isa Process . It is not a mergerment it is a much more informal arrangement around supporting a queens speech, around supporting a queens speech, a budget and potentially any motions of no confidence in the Prime Minister. So i think it will be over a limited number of issues and then other issues will be done on an issue by issue basis, the dup Will Wa Nt Issue by issue basis, the dup will want as much flexibility as possible. In terms of neutrality in terms of the talks starting at stormont to get the executive back up stormont to get the executive back up and running, the talks have the uk Secretary Of State and the Irish Government are represented and the Northern Ireland head of the Civil Service will chair most of the discussions, ultimately an agreement will have to happen between the parties in any case and where the uk government come into it and nationalist parties said they are not an impartial actor for many yea rs not an impartial actor for many years already, but where they come into it is around some of the stuff around legacy, but look, this is a concern, ive heard the concern, but i think the Secretary Of State will do all he can to make sure the perception is he acts as an impartial player in any talks and i think the head of the Civil Service in Northern Ireland will chair most of those discussions if thats a concern for nationalist parties. 0k, concern for nationalist parties. Ok, thank you very much, all of you, Alistair Ross former dup junior minister, thank you to peter, director of Evangelical Alliance and ellen murray, lg bt director of Evangelical Alliance and ellen murray, Lgbt Campaigner and clare murphy from the british pregnancy advisory servicement lets talk to chuka umunna who has been a fierce critic ofJeremy Corbyn. Would you chouk like a job again in the Shadow Cabinet . Well, im not sure i would describe myself as fierce well, look, victoria, in the end who is injeremys team is up to jeremy and i dont think it is up to me or anyone else to tell him who to point or hold a herself r reshuffle. If we were asked to serve, people would do that because we have got to focus our fire on the tories and getting them out of government as soon as possiblement they have created a right mess, chaos and shamble which is interesting soap opera in westminster, but in the end will affect peoples lives. And the big issue on the horizon is brexit. You know, thats going to have a huge effect on your viewers jobs and livelihoods and we have got to do thejob livelihoods and we have got to do the job that we must do of scrutinising the deal, the negotiations and making sure that we get the best deal for our communities and thats where everybody in the labour party will be focussed on. So, in parliamentary terms, does that mean from a labour point of view, you get together with the snp, with the greens, and others to try to vote down what theresa may and the dup will try to do on brexit or do you hope the democratic unionists will end up softening approach to brexit . Theresa mays approach to brexit . Theresa mays approach to brexit . We will put forward our own agenda and our own ideas. We will make amendments to legislation as we see fit. There are three things that come out of the election. One, the Prime Minister does not have a mandate to pursue an extreme job destroying brexit. She doesnt have that now. Two, she was talking up the prospects of no deal being better than a deal. I think thats off the table, given that the dup are seeking a soft border with the Republic Of Ireland and that will require a deal and thirdly, for her to get through any legislation relating to brexit, never mind a vote on the deal, she is going to need a degree of cross party support. Simply getting the dup support. Simply getting the dup support is not going to be enough. There is a huge amount of legislation which will have to go through parliament, both prim primary and secondary legislation to give effect from our withdrawal from the European Union. I really do think that were in a change situation now. Right, ok. We have a number of voters here, labour, conservative, greens, etcetera, lib dems. And including Labour Voters, most of them feel it is right that theresa may continues as Prime Minister for a theresa may continues as Prime Ministerfor a period of time because they dont want another General Election. Are you surprised by that . Im not surprised by that. Imean, if by that . Im not surprised by that. I mean, if ijust look in my constituency in straet statement, in lambeth, we had local elections in 2014. We had a General Election in 2015, we had the european referendum in 2016, and another General Election this year. I think the people we represent want us to get on with the business of ensuring weve got a smooth running country and there is a Government Doing what people want it to be doing. So im not surprised by that, but i have to say, if there is another General Election i think people are certainly not wrong to talk about there possibly being one, it will be simply because the current government, a Minority Government, is not able to govern effectively and it maybe that if they cant get through the legislation, cant get through the legislation, cant get through their policies they have to go back to the country and ask the people for a Clearer Instruction as to what they want and i mean one of the things thats been not commented on quite as much as i think it should be is the fact that were still a really divided country. I think people were very alarmed coming out of the Eu Referendum just how divided we were and the divisions twob the generations, between different parts of the country, i dont think, you know, we can think that any less coming out of this General Election. We are still looking like a very country and the question is how do we unify and the question is how do we unify and come together to build a better tomorrow for future generations . Gordon brown flirted with the dup backin gordon brown flirted with the dup back in 2010. Whats your view about the conservatives and the dup together . Well, think a lot of people find some of the views of some of the politicians in the dup really quite objectionable. They dont have a very good record on some lgbt rights for example. I dont particularly like their views on abortion. I understand they are opposed to people having the right to choose when it comes to abortion. Soi to choose when it comes to abortion. So i can understand the alarm that has been raised by Ruth Davidson and others in the conservative party and more broadly, but there is the big issue here that traditionally we have established the convention that the uk government seeks to act as an impartial honest player when it comes to resolving issues in Northern Ireland. And at the moment, there is not a functioning government over there. And how on earth, given they have this arrangement with the dup, can the conservative minority Government Act as an impartial player in that situation which is a delicate one . Im not sure that they can. Can it . Right. Well, i dont see how they can act as an i will partial player between the different parties in Northern Ireland when they have this arrangement with the dup. Thank you, chuka umunna. Thank you for your patience, i appreciate t katie on Facebook Says, the people voted and the verdict is, we are divided. Just as we were about brexit. The conservatives have the largest number of seats and they have a duty to do the best for britain when it comes to brexit. Sean says, i wish labour won. It would have been interesting to see their faces realising they had to deliver their ma nifesto. Realising they had to deliver their manifesto. Realising they had to deliver their manifesto. Small chuckle realising they had to deliver their manifesto. Small chuckle here from voters, including Labour Voters. Vor viewer says, Jeremy Corbyn and his coalition would actually represent more of the uk population. They also seem more sta ble population. They also seem more stable and consistent than the conservatives and dup together. Wherever you are in the uk, let me know, what do you want to see happen next . Right, lets bring you the weather. Here is carol. This morning it was a chilly start. There is a lot of cloud around and some showers. The strongest winds across central and Southern Scotland and northern england. Here we have got gusts 40mph to 50mph. They will ease as we go through the day. Through the day, many of the showers will fade and we will see sunshine with highs up to 21 celsius. Through the evening and overnight, there will be clear skies and a lot of dry weather. Some patchy mist and fog forming across southern areas and then we have got Weather Fronts coming in across Northern Ireland, western scotland, North West England and North West Wales introducing rain. Through the course of tomorrow, that rain will turn more showery as it advances north east wards, but with High Pressure in the south, things remain fairly settled with a fair bit of sunshine and temperatures climbing nicely, we are looking at highs around 23 celsius, 18 celsius in the north and then as we head on into wednesday, with High Pressure firmly in charge, its going to be a sunny and a warm day in the south. Highs 26 celsius, possibly 27 celsius, as we drift further north, there will be more cloud and once again, we will have rain, flirting with the north west, which will peg the temperatures back. Hello, im victoria derbyshire. It is 10am, as duke can hearfrom big ben come to the programme. As you can here. Its just one week to go before the Brexit Negotiations start, but instead the Prime Ministers having to focus on shoring up support for her leadership. Iam i am pleased that people from across the party have agreed to serve in my cabinet, and were going to be getting on with the job of government. And with a Record Number of 18 to 25 year olds voting this time round, what can we learn from last weeks election . The clear message, both from brexit and from so many young people voting, is that people are fed up of business as normal. They dont want the political elite, of which im inevitably i cant attach myself from it, they dont want them to carry on as normal. They were backed by 40 of the electorate, but it wasnt enough to get them into government. Labour says they will keep on fighting. Last weeks General Election was full of twists and turns. But who were the winners and losers . Well be speaking to some of them shortly. We will be analysing what is going to happen over the next seven days as we head to the start of the next Brexit Negotiations. We will talk to more politicians, we have a group of voters. Wherever you are in the uk, tell me what you want to think happens next. Heres joanna with a summary of todays news. Theresa may will today Meet Backbench Conservative Mps and set out her case for staying on in Downing Street. The Prime Minister will also chair a meeting of her newly reshuffled cabinet.

Mrs may is also still trying to secure a deal with the democratic unionists to ensure theyll back her at westminster. The Brexit Secretary, david davis, has criticised the conservative mps who have questioned theresa mays leadership. I have to say, i view all of this talk about the leadership, as it were, as the height of self indulgence. You know, the british people have given us an instruction, a result we wouldnt have chosen ourselves, but they have given as and instruction. It is our job to get business through the House Of Commons and from the country. Shes very good and bad. Ive served with her for ten months, shes an extremely good Prime Minister she is very at that.

Now the sport with katherine downes. Thanks, joanne. Good morning, everyone. Such a busy weekend of sport. We will start with football. Wales manager Chris Coleman think they need to win all four of their remaining World Cup Qualifiers if they are to be short of reaching next yea rs they are to be short of reaching next years finals. A penalty from aaron ramsey gave them the lead. It leaves them quadri points behind, Republic Of Ireland drew with austria. We were looking to win it in the last ten minutes. Once they equalised, they have an pass, we had two or three breakaway is there which could have been different. Overall, good game, tough game, two good teams. For us the point is a good teams. For us the point is a good point. England manager Gareth Southgate says it is up to the clubs to nurture young talent, because for the First Time Since 1966 and england National Football team won a world cup. The under 20s but venezuela 1 0 in the final in south korea. The everton player with the goal. Freddie woodman, the keeper, made a brilliant penalty save to make sure they lifted the trophy. Ultimately, the aim is that those players come through to the seniors. The big part of that is for them to get opportunities with their clubs. I think they have shown that if at under 20s we are world champions, then there are enough players there to fulfil careers in the game without clubs looking elsewhere rafa nadal thought he would be finishing fishing in his boat of majorca, not winning a grand slam for the 12th time.

Not far from Downing Street. We have voters from different parties. Thank you for giving up your Monday Morning, nice to see you. Not far away from number ten. Theresa may is presumably working out what she is going to say to her conservative backbenchers. She is going to have to persuade them that she is the right person to keep going with brexit, but what kind of brexit will it be . So many questions they will have for her when she meets the 1922 committee. Theresa may will face questions about her leadership and Campaign Strategies today when she meets backbenchers from the conservatives 1922 committee. Theres been strong criticism from within the party after the tories lost their Commons Majority at last weeks election. Her first big parliamentary test for the Minority Government will come at the end of the month when mps vote on the queens speech, thats the Governments Legislative Programme a list of all the laws the Prime Minister hopes to get through parliament in the coming year, which the queen will set out here in parliament next week. The thinking is she is going to have tojunk quite the thinking is she is going to have to junk quite a lot from the ma nifesto to junk quite a lot from the manifesto if she is going to do the deal with the dup. If she stays in herjob, theresa mays first big test will come next week with the queens speech. It should be a time of celebration for the winner, where the queen gets to tell the nation how her new government will put all those election promises into action. My government will legislate to reform. This year, not so much. There are two main problems. First, the conservatives are eight seats short of a majority in parliament, which means the other parties could vote against the speech itself. They are trying to form a government at the moment, ive no idea what theyre going to put into the queens speech, no idea what their stance is going to be on a legislative programme. That is, unless ten mps from the dup in Northern Ireland agree to support it. Possible, but probably only after some concessions. That could mean more money for Northern Ireland, or a promise that brexit wont mean strict Border Controls with the Republic Of Ireland. But theresa may has a bigger problem. The conservative manifesto itself is widely seen as a disaster, even by some of its own supporters. That manifesto now must go down as one of the most disastrous political documents in british history. And that, believe it or not, is not an exaggeration. So plans to scale back the triple lock, which guarantees the state pension, could be shelved, as well as the idea to means test Winter Fuel Payments and changes to social care in england. No majority also means plans for new Grammar Schools in england and a third runway for heathrow could be kicked into the long grass. What, though, about the impact on brexit . For the last year, theresa may has been talking tough. I couldnt be clearer brexit means brexit. Many think the Election Result now means shell have to compromise, maybe trying harder to keep us in the Single Market and the Customs Union, maybe even negotiating over the most contentious point, the Free Movement of people. The problem is, those key eu talks are meant to start in just a weeks time, which doesnt give mrs may much time to rethink her strategy before getting round the table. So what kind of challenges will she face . We can speak now to anushka asthana, Political Editor at the guardian newspaper. And andrew gimson, who writes for the Conservative Home website and is borisjohnsons biographer. Hello, both of you, good morning. How short is the queens speech going to be next monday . itll have to be pretty short. Anything that is contentious cannot be in there. Why are you in government . You are in government to make policy. It is not all about brexit. Our frustrating than for the conservatives that they are going to struggle. I wonder if she called by Election Notjust because of brexit but because of Grammar Schools. A lot of people on the backbenchers thought that they might not vote for the grammar is called policy. Well, she wouldnt have a chance of getting that through now. She certainly wouldnt, but it might be a relief. She might be better at being a weak prime mini5ter than pretending to be 5trong. Mini5ter than pretending to be strong. This is an interesting spin it has onlyju5t occurred to me but it has something to be said for it. People say yes or no, you know a bit in advance what people think, and you can then take people with you. Also her weakne55, the other advantage of being weak i5 also her weakne55, the other advantage of being weak is that they wont be able to read greek who to replace her with and they certainly wont want another election. They wont want another election. They wont be able to agree on who to replace her with. If you are a prime mini5ter you cant go on making Terrible Mi5take5 Mini5ter you cant go on making Terrible Mi5ta Ke5 by mini5ter you cant go on making Terrible Mi5take5 by cooking and top withju5t a Terrible Mi5take5 by cooking and top with just a couple Terrible Mi5take5 by cooking and top withju5t a couple of Terrible Mi5take5 by cooking and top with just a couple of advi5er5 Terrible Mi5take5 by cooking and top withju5t a couple of advi5er5 in numberten. Withju5t a couple of advi5er5 in number ten. Do you buy that . I havent heard that the re. Number ten. Do you buy that . I havent heard that the re. You heard it here first this is a divided country, a lot of people voted tory and a lot of people voted labour. She is to have to be more mindful about what type of policies the labour party would support. Maybe we would get some issues through the houses of parliament. There is fear of this revolutionary man from islington who was about to march on Downing Street and could well be Prime Minister if there hadnt been another election soon. They will all be desperate to avoid that. A number of people, including the conservatives, seem to be saying, look, it is not if it is when she goes. What are you hearing in terms of timescale . Well, you know, clearly it is a very difficult position she is in. She only needs a handful of people on the backbenchers to oppose her and you are ina backbenchers to oppose her and you are in a real amount of trouble. There are clearly more than a handful of people who are annoyed with theresa may and the conservative party. That said, there appears to be a Movement Among the mps to say, look, she should be safer now, we need to get on with the brexit talks. Maybe she has six months. The problem with that is, do we suddenly have the instability of the Leadership Contest and maybe a General Election in the middle of the brexit talks. What is your view on that . Borisjohnson wrote in the sun today, it he is supporting her and Everybody Else should. He wants to be Prime Minister and leader of the conservative party, he is biding his time. An absolute rock of 5tability his time. An absolute rock of stability and loyalty in these troubled times if anyone, i can steady the ship. Surely this great ally of theresa may. I think it will really depend on how it goes with brexit. I mean, brexit could be what the Suez Canal Crisis was for anthony eden. Explained that analogy for our younger viewers was blocked anthony eden won an election in 1935, he was a glamorous successful figure who took over from church or a lot about the middle east. He had trouble with Colonel Nasser closing the suez canal. He did it in a very underhand way, sending in troops, without The Americans backing us. Then he had to pull out the troops very soon afterwards. It was a sign that britain was no longer a great power. Terrible humiliation and he we nt power. Terrible humiliation and he went on here in the grounds of ill health but really went on here in the grounds of ill health but really because his great credibility that he had built up great credibility that he had built up eversince he great credibility that he had built up ever since he opposed hitler had been thrown away by opposing this effectively this egyptian. What circumstances would borisjohnson need to be in the middle of two months kind of leadership challenge . The party would have to want him. I would be surprised if he mounts a challenge like michael heseltine. Heseltine got rid of Margaret Thatcher but didnt wear the crown. I think he will be very, very anxious. He will want the party to wa nt anxious. He will want the party to want him, and maybe they werent, maybe they will want Somebody Else. Riding ina maybe they will want Somebody Else. Riding in a horse when Somebody Else has triggered the election. He is not very good at writing who has a view about whether they would want or not want borisjohnson as, you area or not want borisjohnson as, you are a green voter, said gazala is the tories want to lose an election even worse, borisjohnson is the man to do it is people rejected theresa may, borisjohnson to do it is people rejected theresa may, Boris Johnson is to do it is people rejected theresa may, borisjohnson is far worse and even less credible than she is even today. Let me ask some conservative voters. Lets hear from andrea, let me ask some conservative voters. Lets hearfrom andrea, a conservative voter . I dont think i would be following borisjohnson. Why . | would be following borisjohnson. Why . Ijust think, i dont think would be following borisjohnson. Why . I just think, i dont think he did very well as a Foreign Secretary. I dont think i need to say more than that. Many of the things that went before would make him unsuitable. Is there anyone here who would suggest borisjohnson as leader of the conservative party and british Prime Minister . Im a labour voter, but i see the appeal of boris. It would be good for the conservative party to have a big character who is different from theresa may. Would it be advantageous to labour . Boris knows how to win elections. I think he has some qualities. You are a conservative voter. I think he is playing the whole brexit thing gets down played and if we are looking at Jeremy Corbyn to get the swell of popular vote then why wouldnt he . Anyone else on borisjohnson . agree as a conservative voter that in fact, borisjohnson, hejokes around and all this, but we mustnt dismiss him as an extremely clever politician and very experienced politician and very experienced politician and very experienced politician and therefore, as we say, ifjeremy politician and therefore, as we say, if Jeremy Corbyn politician and therefore, as we say, ifJeremy Corbyn could have so many votes, i cannot see why Boris Johnson cant. Ok. Let me ask both of you about the scottish conservative leader, Ruth Davidson and her influence on theresa may when it comes to brexit. Just outline for our audience the differences between Ruth Davidsons approach to brexit and theresa mays and why Ruth Davidson has this approach . She is a centrist politician. She is the sort of person who would appeal across the board including person who would appeal across the boa rd including to person who would appeal across the board including to some Labour Voters. Scotland is a country in which people actually want to see more immigration because its really important that they dont have a decline in population and Ruth Davidson is a huge advocate for soft brexit, although briefly she was one of the big voices against brexit in the first place and she has got some very important mps up there who theresa may needs, even more than she needs those dup mps. So what Ruth Davidson says in terms of shifting towards a softer brexit is going to be very, very important and idid going to be very, very important and i did notice the Brexit Secretary dfs saying the tory position was not that different to the labour position. There was one issue, it was how far youre prepared to go on immigration. Andrew . Has wrecked the careers of tory leaders for decades and it could still wreck theresa mays position because the party is very deeply split on this and particularly on the Immigration Stuff and she knows some of the Immigration Stuff goes down well to the Labour Voters who she was hoping to attract over to the conservatives. To soften on that, she refused to do it obtwofrt students would be a big thing. Ruth davidson and others might force her to do that. Thank you both very much. Thank you for your time, andrew, from the Conservative Home website and annouska. We have the queens speech next monday where the queens speech next monday where the queen will set out on behalf of theresa may and her Minority Government the legislation that the conservatives will try and get through the commons. The thinking that some of the manifesto will have to be dumped because the dup have different views on means testing the Winter Fuel Allowance and the triple lock, what do you think is vital for theresa may to keep triple lock, what do you think is vitalfor theresa may to keep in triple lock, what do you think is vital for theresa may to keep in the queens speech and what should she dump . Lets hear from queens speech and what should she dump . Lets hearfrom the back row. If you look at the Triple Lock Pensions for instance, in many as in the short term that may do her well in term of getting the coalition together, however in the long term it may increase the inequality which by the looks of the jump in the labour vote hadnt done the conservatives well particularly in london where the generational issue he have department. What should she keep and what should she dump he have department. What should she keep and what should she dump i have read the tory manifesto and there is silly things like the fox hunting. think that may have to go . Its silly social stuff, but the economic side of it agree with. What about her approach to brexit, do you think it will have to change as a result of her doing deals with the dup . Since the vote i have been really worried and people putting buzzwords, hard brexit, soft brexit, it is not true. We either leave or we dont and it is a hard stance to get and we dont and it is a hard stance to get and i understand they are trying to win people over, but that is whats going to happen at the end of the day and i think were moving towards remaining a member and the day and i think were moving towards remaining a memberand im worried about it. Really . You think were going to stay in the European Union . We will probably leave in name only. Ok. Does anyone else think thats a possibility, we might end up staying in the European Union . Yes. I do. End up staying in the European Union . Yes. Ido. Is end up staying in the European Union . Yes. I do. Is that because you want that to happen . Well, i suppose its Wishful Thinking and i dont see how you canjust completely leave and nobody really knows what they voted for. They voted for all the half hearted knows what they voted for. They voted for all the half hearted ideas of what it may or may not be and even now we still dont know hat governments position is and the labour party has been wishy washy and in the middle. As a green voter, most of us wanted to remain because we thought we needed to stick together. The world is in a terrible state and we need to be working with Everybody Else and not separating ourselves even more. Let me bring in some politicians. Good morning all of you. We have vince cable, sir vince cable, who is a Liberal Democrat. As you know former Secretary Of State for business, innovation and skills and he won again in twickenham, regained it. We have conservative a mp, who is in favour of brexit and as voted in again on thursday and we have the snp spokesperson on brexit and you won by two votes on thursday night. They all count wow. Wracking and you are calling for a pause in Brexit Negotiations . Well, i dont think anybody can pretend that the election didnt happen. We are in a changed set of circumstances. One of the mistakes that theresa may made was to try not to reach out to other parties and other points of view. Defining a relationship with europe has an impact on every area and every person, and not working with devolved administrations. Well, the clock is ticking . The clock was ticking when the election was called. It does look bizarrely irresponsible does it not to trigger article 50, the process of leaving the European Union that two year timetable, and then call a General Election . I think they are very separate. We had a referendum which had a clear decisive result. We are not tacking about the referendum . And then we triggered article 50 and there was the issue of a General Election where she sought a mandate. People were saying she hadnt got her own mandate last year and it was an entirely legitimate thing to call that election. Is she a lame duck now . I dont think so. How is she not a lame duck . You look at the numbers, the conservative mp5 are more than the labour, snp and the liberals put together so they are clearly in the lead and it is customary to have the leader of the leading party to form a government andl leading party to form a government and i think she can do so. She will be be holden to the democratic Unionist Party for almost everything . We have 318 mps which is similarto everything . We have 318 mps which is similar to what we got in 2015. M is 30 fewer than when you called the Snap Election . There is a basis for having a government. Steve would Rememberthe Snp had having a government. Steve would remember the snp had a Minority Government only ten years ago and they lasted four years and got re elected they lasted four years and got reelected when we were a Minority Government we had to reach out to other Political Parties and had to make Come Employee Mises and thats something westminster is not used to, it is something holyrood is used to. We had a Coalition Government and it lasted. There has to be a change in the attitudes to reaching out and especially on the european issue. Vince cable, is theresa may a lame duck . She has created this mess and she should stay and clear it up and she should stay and clear it up and she should stay and clear it up and she has won this election and i dont think the country should be held to ransom because of internal feuding in the tory party. She is the Prime Minister. She should get on and as we just heard, reach out to other parties and we have got to sort out the mess around brexit and engaging with the labour party and my party and the nationalists trying to form a form of brexit which is a compromise which keeps the good elements of the European Union, she can make some progress. Ok. How should she change her approach to brexit if at all . Well there are these jargon words about hard and soft brexit. What i think she has to do or acknowledge that pulling out of the Customs Union is completely insane. Very damaging. Its particularly damaging to ireland which is at centre of attention. It is perfectly possible to stay within the Single Market. To keep all the been fits of that. Its possible to have a degree of management of migration if thats a central issue. Countries like switzerland do it. So thats the kind of compromise she should be looking at. Do you agree . I dont agree with vince. I dont think it will be the catastrophe that he sees. Do you think that is a message from some of the electorate saying we didnt like your version of brexit . We dont know why people vote. People voted on all sorts of issues and corbyn as i understand the labour pa rtys issues and corbyn as i understand the labour partys position on brexit isnt that different from ours. I keep hearing conservatives say that. There are some difference. John mcdonnell himself said were leaving the Single Market. He said that yesterday. Could the brexit question be reopened . It will have to be reopened. We talked about arithmetic in the House Of Commons and legislation will have to go through the House Of Commons. We dont know what the mood of the house will be and what the whipping arrangements will be. Clearly, thats a matter of debate, but i suspect it wont be that different. I think that brexit is on track and i think that brexit is on track and i think we will get brexit. The central issue here. Weve had three divisive elections in two years. In scotla nd divisive elections in two years. In scotland they have had four election ins three years. The public are fed up. They want the Political Class to sort this out and the last thing we need is a period of upheaval and new elections. Thats a no, no and thats why theresa may, for the moment, has to stay put and organise a stable administration and engage with other parties and listen to the public and produce a new style of politics which very hadnt had for a long time. Ok. Critically, they will have to listen because this is a hole new style of politics and every has to be on the table. Does theresa may know how to listen . I think she will be a capable Prime Minister. I think we will be able to have a stable government. Judging on the record now . We have 318 mps which is more than snp, labour and liberals put together and we are in a position where we can govern the country. Lets have some views on theresa may and her character and whether you think she will have to change her approach or listen, what do you say . Were hearing from different mp5 about brexit and what their positions are, but i dont think many mp5 have today said that they there should be a coalition and people should come together and make an agreement. There was a Hung Parliament which means that there are people of the uk are not completely sure of what their own position on brexit is and that needs to be reflected by the attitude the government takes. I mean, thats a really good point. A number of people have suggested some kind of cross party brexit committee. We already have a brexit select committee. Is there a possibility of something bigger involving more people that would reflect the population more accurately . No, i think that approach is necessary. The details are not central whether it is done through a select committee or the parties putting people forward or whether you have some citizens involved. I mean thats detail. But the key point of the Prime Minister and her government now having to engage with other parties and the rest of the uk, very clearly, to form a compromise approach to brexit, thats now what has to happen. This isnt new. Just before christmas the Scottish Government put forward a pan uk compromise document to put independence to one side, to look at a document with, you know, remaining members of the Single Market of the thats the kind of thing we need to get behind and have a committee of experts of the thats something we did from across the political boundaries. Would you support Something Like that . So any the government does will have to go through that parliament and vince knows being a parliamentarian for a long time, that getting legislation through parliament involves compromise and debate and given the numbers, i imagine that there will be debate. There will be a degree of discussion about what we do. The great repeal bill isnt going to involve much repealing. Thats the bottom line. It was never about repealing, it was about downloading european legislation. This was ill defined of the a legacy of vote leave, a legacy of vote leave. Hear me out for change. There was a blank piece of paper. Now as a blank piece of paper it is our responsibility to fill in the blanks that vote leave left. That means that membership of the single marred set has to be open and thats something that is incumbent on all of us to work across political boundaries. More views from here. Its refreshing to hear unity coming through about how we can move forward. Did you hear unity there . The whole thing so far has been about political positioning and winning and losing etcetera, etcetera, whereas a nation we need to come together and sort this out and it is this political childishness where people are squabbling left, right and centre and trying to position themselves into the best possible position, turning from this position to another position. We just heard chuka umunna talking about the same thing, he was looking for another job again. It is the same positionment we need to move forward and sort this out as a nation. As grown ups . And sort this out as a nation. As grownups . As grownups, thats all you ever hear. So speaks a conservative voter. Thank you very much, gentlemen. Thank you for coming on the programme. David mondal was reappointed scottish secretary yesterday. Previously he was the only scottish mp. He has been speaking the last few minutes. Obviously it is a big change for me. I have spent 12 years in which i have had to agree with myself, now we have some colleagues. We will be looking to make sure that our influence is felt. We played a significant part in ensuring that there is a conservative Minority Government after this General Election, with a fantastic result in scotland, winning all of those seats, getting second in the popular vote and putting our vote up so significantly. But what we will want to do is to get the best arrangements for scotland and indeed the whole of the uk in brexit and a whole range of other issues. David mondal. Foul on e mail says, why labour vilifying maples might handling of brexit . John on twitter reflected what some of our voters have been saying, unite and get on with the job of leaving the eu. Somebody said, i dont care what the conservatives do next, they are a joke and i want to seeJeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister.

Theresa may will today Meet Backbench Conservative Mps and set out her case for staying on in Downing Street. The Prime Minister will also chair a meeting of her newly reshuffled cabinet. The Brexit Secretary, david davis, has criticised the conservative mps who have questioned theresa mays leadership. I have to say, i view all of this talk about the leadership, as it were, as the height of self indulgence. You know, the british people have given us an instruction, they gave us a result we wouldnt have chosen ourselves, but they have given us instruction. It is ourjob to get business through the House Of Commons and to run the country. Shes very good at that. Ive served with her for ten months, shes an extremely good Prime Minister.

The tories have messed up again, isay is theirjob. The tories have messed up again, i say is there it and no more pay rises for themselves, russell says, labour showing they are irresponsible attempting to cash in on the Hung Parliament. Mae limps on but wont last. Another election . Definitely. It was the result almost nobody predicted, including many within labour. A big part of the pa rtys success has within labour. A big part of the partys success has been put down to Younger Voters turning out, mobilised by a sense that their voices have not been heard in previous elections. A powerful social Media Campaign and by support ofJeremy Corbyn as leader from various artists including this crime for corbyn movement. Grime for corbyn movement. Let me introduce you to bafta winning actor and rapper adam deacon, who metJeremy Corbyn last year. He watched a play which adam was performing in. You are part of the grime4corbyn campaign. Hello, becker. And we have mc saskilla, who headlined the grime4corbyn concert in london last week. We dont yet have the actual specific figures for voter turnout of 18 24 year old is. We know 1. 5 million 18 to 24 year olds registered to vote. How much of the difference do you think that made for labour . much of the difference do you think that made for labour . I think it must have made a massive difference. Because young people care about politics. There is a mess out there that people are not interested, but if you give them a chance they care about what is going on. It is great that young people came out and made their voice heard. I agree, i think there is something exceptional about there is something exceptional about the selection in terms of the sheer amount of indonesia is that you saw from young voters and the amount that came out to register. That has to do with Jeremy Corbyn as a candidate and the kind of labour party that he is running, it has offered young people a programme that they can believe in. How old are you . I am 25. Ok, what about yourself, in terms ofJeremy Corbyn managing to engage so many younger people . He has done something that no politician has done before, which is actually genuinely care. It seems a cliche, but he genuinely does care. He seems as though hes from a similar background. Hes always fighting for the underprivileged, thatis fighting for the underprivileged, that is the background of grime as a whole. He is actually from a middle class background. Whole. He is actually from a middleclass background. Thatsjust human nature, caring, it is something that he is doing. You can see the people that are fake and the people who are saying staff for the sake of saying it. Thats interesting, you think younger people have more of a. I was going to say every word then, more of a detector for those are authentic to those who are not. Theresa mate does not care about the underprivileged, she doesnt care about nobody. Jeremy corbyn has fought for causes, he has been fighting for apartheid, he has been fighting for apartheid, he has been fighting for apartheid, he has fought for injustices. We can see from the internet generation, social media, we can see that. Theresa may said on the steps of Downing Street, when she became Prime Minister she talked about the underprivileged, those who have a sense of burning injustice. Underprivileged, those who have a sense of burning injusticem underprivileged, those who have a sense of burning injustice. If she could tell me what lidl looks like, i would have thought she was insane, ill tell you that right now people can see through things, especially young people, they can spot that fate is. I think germany corbyn. Whatever his policies are about coming he cares. You can sense that from him. You can really read that. Hasjeremy from him. You can really read that. Has Jeremy Corbyn from him. You can really read that. HasJeremy Corbyn ever been to lidl, do you think i reckon a lot of people who work for him, and i reckon when he goes to arsenal he has taken lidl food from the people sitting next to him in this land is. But he hasnt been himself . Why not . He isa but he hasnt been himself . Why not . He is a down to earth guy. But he hasnt been himself . Why not . He is a downtoearth guy. It is incredibly refreshing to see you guys, incredibly refreshing to see you guys, especially bringing about an increase in voter turnout. I think regardless of where you sit on the political spectrum, pua conservative, labour, lib dem, green, to see young people interested is a great thing for a democracy. I love what Jeremy Corbyn dead. He made me and people i know feel like our voice actually matters i love whatjeremy feel like our voice actually matters i love what Jeremy Corbyn feel like our voice actually matters i love whatJeremy Corbyn did. I dont feel like there is a Hung Parliament because of us, but maybe if some of us didnt vote then it. How much of it is down toJeremy Corbyn the man or his policies . The kind of things he put forward in the ma nifesto . Kind of things he put forward in the manifesto . His manifesto related to me as manifesto . His manifesto related to measl manifesto . His manifesto related to me as i agreed with. A lot of it was on my twitter. Seeing him there, and grime4corbyn was a winner for me, honestly. I think it was a bit of both. I spoke toJeremy Corbyn, the date before the election was called. He seemed like such a genuine person, genuinely caring for the people. Theresa mays thing about health for workers, it seemed so random. You dont believe her . No, andi random. You dont believe her . No, and i think whenJeremy Corbyn is trying to be for the people, he is trying to be for the people, he is trying to be for the people, he is trying to be for everybody, notjust the people he feels like being four. The grime4corbyn made it more aggression for young people to say, 0k, aggression for young people to say, ok, lets see what its about and go out there and actually vote and it obviously worked. You had become interested and engaged in politics because ofjeremy interested and engaged in politics because of Jeremy Corbyn . Yes, because. This is the first time i have voted, and Jeremy Corbyn was Something Different in this country. All our politicians are exactly the same, and he was a new alternative. Whoever is on social media, the young are not engaged because we dont really watch the news, its all about twitter and facebook. That is why i picked Jeremy Corbyn. Whats exciting and interesting is that young people are coming out, we have got different personalities with theresa may, her style, Jeremy Corbyn, his style. Because of the personalities that doesnt mean to say that theresa may is not interested. You are a conservative voter . Do you prefer the approach of theresa may orJeremy Corbyn . believe that personalities need to blend as much as possible. Im going to make you pick laughter im not going to say i preferJeremy Corbyns style because you need a business style when it comes to politics. Jeremy corbyn is a campaigner. He is a protester, we all know that. But the most important thing is this, that normally people do not actively engage with the young people before elections. After elections. Now we hopes in this process will continue. We will see. Thank you very much, all of you. When the Prime Minister called the election in mid april, according to the polls, the conservatives had as much as a 21 lead overJeremy Corbyn and the labour party. There was talk of theresa may winning a majority of a hundred seats or more. Of hammering the opposition. One poll suggested she was more popular than any leader since the 1970s. Yet here we are, less tha n since the 1970s. Yet here we are, less than two months later, and shes clinging to power. Yesterday, the Prime Ministers former cabinet colleague George Osborne said shes a dead woman walking. its colleague George Osborne said shes a dead woman walking. its safe to say, for one reason or another, the campaign has been a bit of a mare, for mrs may. Just a quick warning if youre photosensitive this video has bright flashes in it. I have just chaired a meeting of the cabinet, where we agreed that the government should call a General Election, to be held on the 8th ofjune. Ive called an election because of brexit. Youve called a General Election for the good of the conservative party, and its going to backfire on you. Unless the exit poll is incredibly wrong, the Prime Minister has failed to achieve her principal objective. Theresa may. Theresa may. Can we agree, to start with, that the one thing that voters deserve, in what you yourself have said is going to be a very, very important election, is no sound bites . Strong and stable leadership. A strong and stable government. And theres a reason for talking about strong and stable leadership. Strong, strong, strong and stable leadership under me and my team. Welcome to plymouth. Thank you. Were in one of the most marginal seats in the country here, this is your second visit of the campaign. Are you getting nervous, and do you see plymouth as a must win next week . Im very clear that this is a crucial election for this country. We stand at an important moment. We need to ensure we get Brexit Negotiations right but also have a plan to take this country forward. Plymouths a very proud armed forces city. Were seeing the closure of our naval barracks, the sale of hms ocean, 40 commando taken out of service. Can you guarantee our Armed Forces Families that they will be protected from further cuts . Im very clear that plymouth has a proud record of connection with the armed forces. A lot of people in plymouth voted for brexit because they saw a Better Future ahead. How will your brexit plan make plymouth People Better off . Well, i think there is a Better Future ahead for plymouth and the whole of the uk. There are opportunities when we leave the European Union, but we need to have the right government in place, the right plan to grasp those opportunities. I trust the british public, im asking them to put their trust in me. Have you heard theyve called an election . Yes, and i dont think they should have done. Not another one . oh, for gods sake, i cant, honestly, i cant stand this. Why does she need to do it . I think shes pushing her luck. Really . well, lets look at social care for the elderly. Four days ago your manifesto rejected a cap on social care costs. Today youve announced a cap. That sounds pretty half baked. Nothing has changed from the principles on social care policy that we set out in our manifesto. Youve backtracked on your social care policy and your entire manifesto has holes in it, and everyone else can see that. A tory u turn on social care would be extremely welcome, because i want this country to face up to its responsibilities. She wants to be strong and stable, the Prime Minister that is steely and determined and has resolve, but the toing and froing and u turning and irascibility in press conferences, all that corrupts exactly the kind of brand of leadership that she wants to make her biggest asset. Whats the naughtiest thing you ever did . Oh, goodness me. Gosh. Do you know, im not quite sure. There must have been a moment. Nobodys ever perfectly behaved, are they . I have to confess when me and my friends used to run through the fields of wheat, the farmers werent too pleased about that. So there we go. Many former mps compare losing their seats to a bereavement for many serving the country has been their lifetime ambition and the manner in which they lose can be pretty brutal. In politics, you live by the sword and you die by the sword. I am standing down today as the leader of ukip, with immediate effect. Proud to be part of the United Kingdom. Zac goldsmith is duly elected as member of parliament for the Richmond Park constituency. Its easy to be wise after the event. I knew it would be a challenge in my seat, and, as i say, its been a huge privilege to represent it. Id like to say thank you to my family, to my mum, and to my wife, karen. Neil carmichael is here. You lost your seat and you blame theresa may. Sarah olney, who was a Liberal Democrat mp for only six months before losing her seat back to conservative zac goldsmith, and conservative rob wilson, who was Charities Minister and mp for reading east until labour took the seat on thursday. Also with us to offer some advice angela smith who lost her labour seat of penistone and stocksbridge in 2010. Basildon. The mp for stockbridge is still there. You havent got the wrong guest, have you . Famous a power station and track for making. You blame theresa may. Do you blame theresa may . No, i dont have any bitterness or anger about what happened. How come . Are you not human . Of course, im human, but do want my party to succeed. I want the government to succeed, i want the government to succeed, i want the Prime Minister to succeed. So there is no point in my having any bitterness, i want to make sure that the brexit thing happens properly and we get on dealing with the health service. The General Election didnt go our wrong. It was probably not the right thing to have done by calling it. The manifesto was not helpful and the tonne of the campaign was unhelpful. But there are opportunities. You pointed out im a remainorand are opportunities. You pointed out im a remainor and i are opportunities. You pointed out im a remainorand i have noted already there is a focus on moving away from hard brexit towards something more sensible and i intend to play my part in making sure that move is entrenched and we do get a proper deal for britain because i dont want to wake up one day and discover weve left the European Union at skyline is hot with fire as the bridges of burnt. That would be a disaster. Sarah, in your vic tread speech not long ago, you said winning the seat had sent shockwaves through Theresa Mays Brexit policy. What does you losing your seat so quickly mean . I dont think it changes that much. In the by election i was standing against zac as an independent, but this time he was standing as a conservative. The conservative pitch was very much strong and stable leadership. In the timel strong and stable leadership. In the time i was in parliament, article 50 got triggered. People were feeling there was no way back from brexit andl there was no way back from brexit and i think those people who voted in my constituency for the conservative party, because they thought that was the best way to make sure that we got a strong negotiating hand i think a lot of those people will be feeling very disappointed. Are you any of you pessimistic, depressed down, thinking oh my god, i have got to finajob . Thinking oh my god, i have got to fin ajob . Yeah, of course, the realisation hits you the following morning that you have got to find something to do because your diary is packed full of engagements and things and all of a sudden it has all gone. Angela . If youre doing yourjob properly, every day is packed and then suddenly it stops and youre emotionally and physically drained, but there is life after the House Of Commons. They have gained experience and the people they have met, but it is a very public loss. You stand up there in front of people and some who havent supported you and you say, ive lost. That havent supported you and you say, ive lost. That does take its toll. Families worry about the ex mps as well. Dont get down hearted about it. Some mp5 come back to the House Of Commons because they wa nt to the House Of Commons because they want to, but most get on. A friend of my who lost her seat in 2010 said i discovered something. It is a thing called six oclock. What do you mean . Lots of people get home from six oclock and put the news on and cook their tea at six oclock. Mp5 never do that. And cook their tea at six oclock. Mps never do that. Do you want another quick election so you can have a chance of coming back . another quick election so you can have a chance of coming back . I do. Do you . Im frustrated that i cant get on with the work i was doing before which i have highlighted. Destabilising the country . Lets define early. I think the Prime Minister should be forming a government. Is forming a government andi government. Is forming a government and i think that government should be given a chance to get entrenched, but there are risks with dup, being pa rt but there are risks with dup, being part of the government. I think there are issues about the Northern Ireland agreement. Is it daning throws get into bed with the dup then . Well, it all depends what you are awe talking about. The Peace Process . Are awe talking about. The Peace Process . Very dangerous. It makes it very difficult. There are risks here for the good friday agreement and also for the situation ironically with brexit in terms of the border between Northern Ireland and the republic. Those are things we have got to keep our eye on and i will be doing that in or out of parliament. Theresa may didnt have to have this election. I dont think it was an unnecessary election. It backfired, but it was the right call to make actually. I think she called this election and she called primarily because she thought she could win a much bigger majority. She called it because she called it a brexit election, but it enned up, i think, being the publics opportunity to have their say on public spending, public services, austerity, and i think what will be most frustrating now for members of the public is it will still all the Political Class are talking about is still brexit and because it is a weakened government they are not going to have the opportunity to really implement some of those spending changes that the public really want to see. I do think while the public might think to see. I do think while the public might think i dont want another election to get a strong government, not theresa mays current government, whatever it might look like, but a strong government in power would be in the best interests of the british public. Im going to leave it there. Thank you very much for your patience as well. We wish you all the best. Thank you and i will be back again. He is determined to be back againment he cant wait for the next election. This election has led to the most diverse bunch of mps weve ever seen. There are now more women, more gay mps, more mp5 with disabilities, more ethnic minority mps than ever before. There was a boy who went to his career advisors at school and the careers advisor said what do you wa nt to careers advisor said what do you want to be when youre grown up and that 15 year old with Cerebral Palsy saidi that 15 year old with Cerebral Palsy said i want to be a politician. That boy is me. Is duly elected to serve as the mp for battersea. Lets speak now to two of the new mps breaking boundaries. Tanmanjeet singh desi, or tan as hes known, the first turban wearing sikh mp, he too is labour. How are you feeling . It is history in the making. While british sikhs and sikhs further afield would have their own high expectations, i am aware that i am the mp for slough so their hopes and aspirations are, you know, my primary concern. Leyla . It was a Snap Election. We were getting on with other parts of our lives and its interesting that my background has come to the fore now, but that wasnt my platform. My platform was about the nhs and education and being the best possible area for my area and thats what i intend to do. In terms of your brack ground, what do you hope to bring to the commons asa do you hope to bring to the commons as a result of that briefly . Well, one thing is, i think the brightly coloured turbans one thing is, i think the brightly coloured turba ns and one thing is, i think the brightly coloured turbans and there should be a splash of colour in there, but working in the true sikh ethos which is working for the betterment of all. Thats how i will seek to serve. I think we are in amazing times in politics and to have different prospectives adding to that debate, i think, can only be a good thing. Ok.
