began on the lithjune, early, very early, before, their fieldwork began before i declared i was in the race. oh, so you could do better than that? let me bring you up to date. fully up to date, 0k? we re filming this today last night at 5 o clock, two separate companies came out with polls, and they re all playing catch up now, they all recognise something is happening out there. on one poll last night, we were tied with the conservatives on i9%, on a second poll that came out last night, we were leading the conservatives 19 to 18, so that map suddenly looks very different. well, it looks even. it s still, whatever happens, is a tory wipe out. of course, of course. now what i really want our viewers to know is that is your objective, you are happy if the country turns red and we get a huge labour majority. what last night s polls show is we re going to win seats, a good number of seats, but it could become a very substantial number of seats. very important that people recog
chris mason has broken down the highlights of the debate. is tonight the night you can turn things around, prime minister? the big question for rishi sunak. the polls aren t budging. could this be the moment for a game changer? and here s the guy who wants hisjob. is tonight the night you seal the deal? pleasantries, smiles and you can bet for both of them a bag of nerves. the debate under way, and the biggest topic of our time, the cost of living, set out by paula from huddersfield in the studio audience. my savings are gone and i m genuinely. worried about my future. i don t think you understand . how this is for people like me. so what can you do about that? both men expressed sympathy, and then the argument began. of course i know everyone is onlyjust starting to feel the benefits of it, but inflation is back to normal, wages are growing, taxes are now being cut. keir starmer would put all that progress at risk. he would put up everyone s taxes by £2,000. keir starme
I think they should have more powers to be able to monitor these people, especially where data has been encrypted on mobile phones. It is a new world we live in.

We are talking about the Snoopers Charter, data surveillance, however you want to describe it.
