options before we put them forward. those plans, he insisted, would be announced very shortly — and he said a new independent panel would oversee compensation payments. this is the former post office boss, paula vennells, who received a cbe in 2019. she said that she's truly sorry for the suffering caused. but well over a million people have signed a petition calling for her award to be removed. and now the prime minister says he'd strongly support the honours forfeiture committee taking a look at the case. cheering. after years of struggle, it seems there is finally some momentum behind their campaign — but for now, their wait forjustice goes on. peter saull, bbc news. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. henry, good morning again. this has totally dominated the political discourse, the debate over the last couple of days. how quickly can we

around the quality of education, i don't believe the system we have right now is working. i believe that parents need a better understanding of what is working well and where there is greater room for improvement and change so it would move away from those one or two wherejudgment move away from those one or two where judgment that i don't believe can really capture the whole essence of a school, and move towards a report crisis and that i believe would be betterfor report crisis and that i believe would be better for parents report crisis and that i believe would be betterfor parents but report crisis and that i believe would be better for parents but also provide much strong information about where improvements are needed in school and the path towards that. i cannot have you on as a politician and not talk with you about the issue that has been dominating the political agenda, the discourse over the past couple of days and that of course is the issue of the post office scandal. we have to remember it has been going on for years, it was in 1999 that horizon were signed off by the government. many prosecutions took place whilst there was a labour government in power. are you now, looking back, as a labour party and looking back to see what you might have been able to do

to make. you see, while democrats paed the poll numbers and worship of the kitchen table issues in election after election, year after year, republicans, you may have noticed, talk about whatever they darn well please. they can do well because republicans don't follow the news. they don't just comment on the news. they make the news. they settle in a scandal, and whether you like it or not, that becomes the discourse. it's at the top of every cable news show, at the front of every newspaper. i mean that literally. the new york times, green-lighting this nations purported paper record, slathering five claudine gay stories on their first page just this wednesday alone. in fairness, to the times, there's not much else going on. it's not like, you know, there is a war in gaza, or a war in ukraine, or an out and out fascist poised to sweep the iowa caucuses. nothing else is going on. i digress. this is hardly the first time that the mainstream media has played patsy for far-right bad

intifada that set off this conflagration. much to be said what the allegations of plagiarism subsequently levied at gay, much to be said about the vile racist rhetoric that explode on social media throughout the saga. but not by me, not tonight. no, instead, i want to zoom out. i want to talk about how this episode serves as yet another example of conservatives uncanny, other worldly ability to make a mount kilimanjaro out of a molehill. because it's a talent that liberals and leftist's don't appear to have this killer inclination to mimic. you see, while democrats parse the poll numbers and worship at the altar of kitchen table issues in election after election, year after year, republicans, you may have noticed, talk about whatever they damn please. and they can do so because republicans don't just follow the news, they don't just comment on the news, they make the news. they settle on a scandal du jour, and whether united or not, that becomes the discourse. it's on the top of everycable news show, top of every

this and make sure that it is not donald trump that we're worried about but the couch does not win the selection. >> so many people and observers looking and wondering how kamala harris is going to be a figure and lead through this campaign. i want to bring an former congresswoman, mia love, to talk with us. there was this backdrop that we saw, we saw today and we have seen it in recent days about the civil war. of course removing the confederate battle flag from state grounds following the 2015 shooting there at the church, but this has factored so much in the discourse. you heard resident biden mentioned it when it came to rewriting history when it comes to nikki haley r ron desantis, you also had former president trump talking about how the civil war could have been

-- >> the boys are back in town. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> presidential candidates have gone too far in iowa. >> this might upset some democrats, but nikki haley has the strongest polling numbers of anybody else against joe biden. >> we've got volunteers for political candidates knocking on my front door. and i don't mean a knock as an, i, we just when you didn't know we dropped off some literature, i'm talking about a knock as an, high, we would like to have some political discourse with you. >> we all know that caucus is coming up. eight days away. >> people know what's coming. now, by the way, china may own that platform, but it still does open a window for right now into grassroots american politics. well iowans are engaging in this as an open debate, i've gotta tell you, as we gear up a week out tonight, many of these usual beltway voices are already trying to name winners before the voters before any of you have weighed in at all.

The Context

and that's what you're seeing here. i also think this is clearly the election cycle has begun, you are going to see more of this on the campaign trail, every campaign prepares for this kind of thing. it generally doesn't happen in churches, but we are at time political discourse, so this isjust a reawakening, a reawakening, a reminder that wherever you are there as a political conversation to be had, i know that you have two, and as you saw in the statement that he made back, i understand what is happening, and at the same time he is addressing an audience about a historical moment it's happening right now, and thinking about south carolina and those voters are there. how concerned will he be as to how this is unfolding on the ground? we have had a fairly strong rebuke today from the secretary of state and some of the things they've heard from the usually government about palestinians being forced out of gaza, they didn't get a heads up on the killing of this hamas operative in beirut, i now today they have had the killing of a fairly prominent

more pressure and scrutiny? >> that's a great question, alex. ultimately, i think that's one of the things that you see him doing out of desperation. this is someone who is moving, so they have nothing to lose, or everything to lose, for that matter. and i think that's why you are seeing him do. this is not thoroughly just a call in the public conversation, or public discourse, to apply pressure to kavanaugh. it's also a call, unfortunately, to his accolades, in terms of where they should be directing their pressure and their vitriol when it comes to pointing to justice is on the high court. and i don't necessarily think it's a strong or wise strategy, but at the end of the day, donald trump's attorneys have shown that they don't have much to work with, and they have even less to lose. so, this is why i think you are seeing these very, very radical strategies being deployed. it's not something that i or many lawyers that i know would recommend, but again, he's also not talking to us. he's talking to the people who are donald trump's disciples,

and the real test is who does harvard name next? do classes change, do they invite more professors in of different ideologies? do they embrace more enlightened discussion and civic discourse on campus? those are the real standards of who is winning in this battle? paul: they have high respect as institutions of higher learning, when they focus on that and free inquiry and de-bait but look political indoctrination that exists on so many campuses, political conformity and enforcement of that conformity that frustrates so many americans and has led to significant decline in public respect. >> if you look at how universities used to be portrayed like in movies, even in a small town, they will look to the university as the voice of reason. someone who rises above the passions. no one sees that anymore.

American Voices With Alicia Menendez

forward, i just don't think -- i think the discourse is going to get more dangerous. i think it's going to be more poignant and more focused, as it moves forward, because what trump has to do, by any means necessary, is try and disqualify joe biden. trump already knows that on the issues and on the merits, on the moral authority, he has lost that battle. so, he's got to put up as much dust, as much danger in the air and it's his only hope of winning this election. but it'll leave a big trail and destruction in his wake. it's remarkable of me to think that the republican party is going to commit suicide again nominating trump in less than two months, but that's what we're on the brink of seeing happening, alicia. >> brandon and monte, as always, thank you so much for getting us started. david jolly, -- thanks for sticking up with me. up next, just over a week into the iowa caucus. trump needs to make his closing statement to voters there. also making several appearances in courtrooms. plus, with congress back in session, why republicans are threatening another government shutdown.
