no, that was up to seven. i think that was seven. it might be my souvlaki talking, but yes. so it s a big debate with all of the parties who are fielding candidates in the election being represented. and as a result of that, what you have is of course, the sort of battle royale going on between labour and the tories, but you have an opportunity to hear from a much broader rainbow of political opinion. yeah, it means on the one hand it s less focused than when it was starmer versus sunak on tuesday, and it sjust two people going head to head on a range of issues. it becomes a bit more sprawling, but equally it feels more like britain because you re hearing about wales and hearing about scotland. sure. and it s a reflection also of the fact that there are lots of different kinds of political races in lots of different kinds of constituencies. there are races that are between the snp and the tories in some parts of more rural scotland they tend to be. there are of course that ar
But its still not far enough. Ten months ago, britain stood on the edge of the precipice. A vote for brexit said the government would be disastrous. The hit to the uk economy would be so great, there would be spending cuts and tax rises, almost immediately. Well, what a difference ten months on.

Candid views of this president. You talk to them one on one, theyre pretty up front about the fact that they dont take all the president s words to heart. That they are kind of getting used to how he conducts himself and his disregard for the facts.

They acknowledge he says things that are not true. Look at what bob corker told us a few months ago in that interview, where he really broke with the president. He said the president tweets things that are not true, you know it, i know it, he knows it,
damage to the fabric of american democracy, and thats an extraordinary thing for them to say. Yeah. But yet they wont say it publicly. Heres what i have to ask you, and one of the main reasons im asking you. In are o
Rage with this . And saying farmers are saying its okay, we can take these tariff, the hitter that getting, i havent heard a farmer say that. Says the guy with a 757 jet. And it can be revoked by congress they have a voice to play here if they want to play it. If they hate this Trade Policies so much, they can do something about it. And every day, we see people cowering in the corner, we see someone like the commander who told the truth in front of the Senate Committee and in front of america. And as long as we have one person telling the truth, every day, getting that news out, we have a chance. That does it for us this morning, Stephanie Ruhle picks up the coverage. Thanks, mika, joe. Hi there, im Stephanie Ruhle. Facebook says it has found dozens of fake accounts, all part of a Covert Campaign to attack the American Democratic process.
