Jeremy corbyn or theresa may . A bit of a question mark, because theresa may wasnt here. Before this debate, yougov carried out another poll, and it makes pretty interesting reading tonight. Thats right. A yougov poll in the times tomorrow suggests the conservative lead is now down to three points, 42 the conservative, 39 to labour. There is a dramatic tightening of the polls as far as yougov is concerned. But that is not being borne out in other polls. The icm poll in the guardian yesterday gave the conservatives a 12 point lead. I spoke to one senior Labour Source who said to me, we are clear that there is a pattern that the polls are tightening. But as there being a dramatic tightening, well, they say theyre going to be really cautious. Thanks, nick. We will be talking about the polls and whats driving them a little later in the programme. Well, there were strong moments for everybody on stage, and no Game Changing gaffes. David grossman was watching as the argument progressed. Not
The Prime Minister insisted that they appear separately. And you can see some of her logic. She used the opportunity to kick lumps out of her opponents when they couldnt retort. You have diane abbott who cant add up sitting around the cabinet table. John mcdonnell, who is a marxist. Nicola sturgeon, who wants to break our country up. And tim farron who wants to bring us back into the eu, the direct opposite of what the british people want. The audience though gave her a pretty rough time. Refusing to answer peoples questions, refusing to talk toJeremy Corbyn. A Prime Minister and potential future Prime Minister doesnt understand the difference between a Learning Disability and the Mental Health condition. I had called an election. For the good of the Conservative Party, you have called a General Election for the good of the Conservative Party and it will backfire on you. Including on brexit. Do you really think you have any real leverage with brussels . An area where she has a rather w
She took a risk and just seven weeks ago, it seemed almost certain to pay off. But how different it all looks today . She has lost 12 seats and with it her parliamentary majority. Nick watt spent the day in westminster examining the shape of theresa mays new government and asking can she govern . For now, theresa may continues as her majesty was the 13th Prime Minister, but she stumbled back into Downing Street after running close second by a man who for three decades has been dismissed by all parties as a marginal figure. This government will guide the country through crucial brexit talks. M was almost as if nothing has changed as theresa may pledged to lead another government. Ministers told newsnight that her failure to acknowledge in her statement that she had squandered a tory majority was a major mistake. Within a few hours there was a new hint of contrition. Im sorry for all those candidates and ha rd working contrition. Im sorry for all those candidates and hard working Party W
Angela merkels right hand man. We should not waste time. We should go into the details as soon as possible. And do we have to define a new direction for britain now . Who are the left behinds, and what are they asking for . We speak to nigel farage, simon schama and kerry ann mendoza. Good evening and welcome to westminster. Newsnight in daylight. Do not be fooled by mellow sunshine, do not be fooled by the gentle breeze of a summer weekend. Today saw no calm, no respite in the pace of change and Power Shifting that gives this place its identity. Senior conservatives began the day calling for the resignation of theresa mays joint chiefs of staff. By the afternoon, they got what they wanted. Nick timothy and fiona hill were known for their unwavering loyalty. The pm was accused of relying on them too heavily, closing her eyes perhaps to a more collegiate, consensual type of government. Two unelected names. Two broadly unrecognisable faces. Yet these chiefs of staff were at the very hear
