Now on bbc news, its hardtalk with stephen sackur. Welcome to hardtalk, im stephen sackur. Britains election provided binary clarity. Borisjohnson has the kind of parliamentary mandate the conservative party hasnt seen since the thatcher era, to take the uk out of the eu and roll out a tory vision for the country. And the labour party . Well, after one of the most crushing defeats in its history, it faces an existential crisis. My guest is alastair campbell, close adviser to tony blair in the new labour years, passionate opponent of brexit. Where does the left go now if its ever win again . Alastair campbell, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you. I want to begin with that election result itself. When you saw it, as a tribally labour man, labour all your life but who has run into a series of problems withJeremy Corbyn and his leadership, how did you respond to that result . I wasnt wholly surprised. I had privately predicted about 50, 60. Majority for the tories. Yes, and the reason for that
Coming week. But today a brief respite, lots of sunshine on offer across the uk. There are some showers round, mainly affecting north sea coasts it has to be said. They should ease as the afternoon goes on but the stormy conditions we have are clearing east ward and out to the west, a transient ridge of higher pressure which is helping to settle things down, but round that, we are feeding in cooler air, on a north westerly breeze but notice this wedge of something milderjust waiting in the atlantic, so the showers i mentioned here they are nicely on the radar image. As we go through the afternoon they should gradually ease and the blustery wind here should gradually start to ease down too. Elsewhere through the rest of the day, a good slice of some sunshine, winter sunshine out to the west for western parts of Northern Ireland and north west scotland, we may just start to see the cloud increase. It will feel cool, we may just start to see 10 celsius to the far south and west. Clear ski

Illian. Has joke at the end it reminded me of churchhill as well. Do you expect Boris Johnson to try to emulate his idol . Will he try to boil down the middle now that he has such a big church and keep all of these voters with the conservatives for longer . Christopher well, i thought that was a most interesting part of his speech. In my opinion, perhaps the most effective was his candid and disarming, even charming admission that a lot of the voters who put him back into power with a large majority have him on probation. A very nice parallel with his election as the mayor of london when a lot of traditional labour voters supported him and they have now supported a conservative party. That, i think is notice also in the rhetoric, one nation conservatives. He remindednation, himself that that is the formula. What does that remind you of . , not labour,labour but new labour. That was the slogan of tony blair. Clearly looking to put a very personal stamp, which arguably could be churchhil
