A yougov poll published last night suggests the tories are on course for a majority of around 28 seats. Thats a0 seats fewer than the same organisation projected nearly a fortnight ago.

Its nearly over. The 2019 general election. Its the first winter election since 197a. Its been dominated by arguments over the nhs and brexit with claims and counterclaims and rows over the truthfulness, or otherwise, of some of the politicians promises. By this time on friday, we might well know which party will form a new government. In the meantime, heres the story of the last 43 days. Were at westminster, where mps have approved december 1st general election since 1923. This country is aching to move on to politics that i stand for is about sharing power and wealth with people who dont have a lot of money, dont have friends in high places. The general Election Campaign that will decide the government and 650 people are going to represent you in parliament for the next few years formally kicks off today. Hi there. Im just looking on behalf of the labour party, Jacob Rees Mogg says hes sorry for remarks he made about. I think if either of us were in a fire, whatever the fire brigade said, we would leave a burning building. It just seems the common sense thing to do. Seven severe flood warnings, meaning a threat to life, are still in place on the river. Don in south yorkshire. Is there anything youd like us to do to help you . If the politicians got helped the young uns with me, wed get for. Theres too much debate and no enough work. Nigel farage has backed out of his promise to field Brexit Party Candidates in more than 600 constituencies across the uk. What we will do is concentrate our total effort into all of the seats that are held by the labour party. Tonight, their conservative Prime Minister, borisjohnson, and the leader of the labour party, Jeremy Corbyn, debate. We have a deal that, as i say, is up and ready. Its ready to go get brexit done. People want to get brexit done. Getting brexit done, unleashing the potential of this country. When you say youll get it done, really, mr. Johnson, you are going to embark on probably seven years of negotiations with the United States on a trade deal. 0f of the wheels on the bus go round and round, all day long. The american businesswoman whose links with borisjohnson have been repeatedly questioned has described her anger at the way she feels shes being treated. He didnt have to ignore me. It could have been a 32nd phone call just to let me know that hes acknowledging the fact that he, while hes gets to be Prime Minister, gets told feed me to the wolves. In an unprecedented move, the chief rabbi has strongly criticized the labour party and its leadership, claiming the party is not doing enough to root out anti semitism. Wouldnt you like to take this opportunity to apologize to the British Jewish Community for whats happened . What ill say is this. I am determined that our society will be safe for people of all faiths. I dont think the position were in right now with brakes had to be like this. That was down to the bad planning, the lack of planning. One of the two leaders of the green party, jonathan bartley. We have to look at how we are going to unite and bring together this country to find a way forward. If i was elected as Prime Minister, i would revoke article 50. And if you vote me into that position, i will do what ive said i will do. We have come to a chicken shop. Why not . In sheerness. What does this election mean to you . What it means to me is weve got weve got a wake up. Weve got to help these families. And theyre saying to me, what do i do . Do i pay my rent or do i feed my children . Where were you then . Thats where were you when they were know when they lost their pensions . Thats when i was marching. And people are saying to me lately. Another point that was made in the comments that from here is somebody calling your son pinocchio. I know that you refer. You responded to these allegations of lack of literacy, which are you regret. Great british probably doesnt necessarily have. Two people have died in what the metropolitan police are describing as a terrorist incident on london bridge. Several members of the public manage to wrestle him to the ground. So i think its repulsive. But individuals as dangerous as this man should be allowed out after serving only eight years. When those Public Services are cut back, as they have been during the past decade of austerity, they leave behind huge gaps. And that can lead to missed chances to intervene in the lives of people who go on to commit absolutely inexcusable acts. We kept the invitations open to the leaders of the conservative party and the brexit party. They have not taken up their places yet. Instead, a reminder. The ice caps are melting. No broadcaster can compel a politician to be interviewed. But leaders interviews have been a key part of the bbc primetime election coverage for decades to scrutinise and hold to account those who would govern us. There is, of course, still one to be done. Borisjohnson, the Prime Minister. We have been asking him for weeks now to give us a date time event. As of now, none has been forthcoming to sit down do you watch the queens speech, mr corbyn . Its on the morning. Its not done in the mornings with three oclock in the afternoon. Thats when everybody was she said, well. All but two are yet to make up their mind. Were all getting a bit tired. The same mantra has been repeated by the politicians has been. Weve had thrust down our throats. Have you voted in every election that youve been able to . Yep. What about this time . Ill probably stay in bed. Borisjohnsons on the campaign trail tonight after a day of being accused of not caring for the plight of nhs patients. It followed a report in todays press about a young boy with suspected pneumonia who had to sleep on the floor of a hospital in leeds. You refuse to look at the photo. Prime minister, his mother says the nhs is in crisis. A private chat between a shadow cabinet minister and a friend whos a conservative activist has leaked with a labor frontbencher is rather candid about his partys prospects. You said more than once to end the situation for labor is dire. I know, because hes also saying, oh, Jeremy Corbyn is going to win. Itsjoshing around and hes leaked it. I cant believe it. The story of the last 43 days. There are still people yet to make up their mind how to vote tomorrow. With that in mind, we can speak now to the liberal Democrats Home Affairs spokesperson, christine jardine, labours shadow policing crime minister louise haigh and for the conservatives, daniel kawczynski. We asked the conservatives for a minister or official spokesperson but no one was available so we are grateful to daniel for taking part. We havent had a minister on the programme throughout the 2019 Election Campaign. Let me tell you, its not for want of trying. Let me start with you, with last nights yougov poll, which uses with last nights yougov poll, which uses the same methodology as the one which correctly predicted a Hung Parliament at this stage during the last election. It doesnt look like your man is going to be in downing street on friday. Well, what i would say is the only poll we care about is the one tomorrow when people are actually going out and voting and i appreciate what you are saying about this poll and the similarities last time, but we know theyve repeatedly got it wrong in 2017 and what i would say is the feeling on the doorsteps, not just here would say is the feeling on the doorsteps, notjust here in sheffield where ive been canvassing, but right across the country have been in seats all over england, has been that the gap is narrowing and peoples minds are focusing, as they get closer tomorrow, so i think people will make up their mind based on more than Boris Johnsons meaningless slogans. They will make it on the threat to the nhs, make their minds up threat to the nhs, make their minds up based on the shocking failures of the criminal justice up based on the shocking failures of the criminaljustice system, and based on borisjohnsons personal integrity which has been seriously called into question over the last few weeks and their ducking of scrutiny on your own programme. That poll does suggest that the conservatives will squeeze a majority. Although it could be a Hung Parliament, no party has an overall majority. That is still possible. What do you think has happened in the last few weeks which has reduced the conservatives lead over labour . Well i think, having beenin over labour . Well i think, having been in the Previous Parliament and seen the gridlock and paralysis that has taken place as a result of no party having an overall majority, its been extraordinarily debilitating and an edifying and of course its resulted in our inability to deliver brexit. This is wired so extremely important for a party to have a majority and im delighted the conservatives, according to the latest opinion polls, could possibly secure a small working majority. Of course, in the final days of the campaign, polls tend to narrow, but hopefully we can get across the line and have a workable majority to deliver brexit by january to 31st. Workable majority to deliver brexit byjanuary to 31st. Ive got companies here in shrewsbury who are iiow companies here in shrewsbury who are now telling me, who export to the eu, who are telling me that the biggest problem they face in terms of planning and their exports and strategy is the indecision by parliament. We need to get brexit done and we need a conservative Party Government to do it. Perhaps borisjohnson should have voted for theresa mays deal and that those businesses could have left the eu . He did vote. The Prime Minister did vote. The first two times he voted against her. The third time was the critical time. The first two times, there were huge majorities against there were huge majorities against the deal. The third time of asking, many of us changed our minds because out many of us changed our minds because our electorate were appealing to us to set aside some of the reservations that we had with the deal and to vote for it, which we did. The yougov pole suggest the lib dems could end up with 15 seats, not a breakthrough. 12 lib dems are elected at the last election. Does it seem ridiculous to you now that jo swinson, your leader, said a few weeks ago, i stand before you as your next candidate for Prime Minister . No, because thats what the leader of a major party is, but i think you are reading that poll slightly differently from perhaps other people. We are second in more than 100 seats, and in the vast majority of those, conservative seats, we are in second place and we can take a significant number of seats from the conservatives tomorrow. If that happens. You have to climb down from your claim jo swinson could be the next Prime Minister. We are saying that we won the British Public to have the final say on the deal. Actually, you went into this campaign saying you are going to cancel brexit, so you rode back from that. No, we said before the referendum that we do not agree with leaving the eu, we have never climbed down from that unlike the labour party, we have a clear unequivocal position which as we believe remain is not in the best interest of this country, and we would not want this country to leave the eu. That is a platform that we have stood on for three and a half years. The platform on which we beat both labour and the conservatives in the european elections, in which we are now in the seats we are women, plus more than 100 where we are second place, we are the party which will be in a position to hold the conservative party to that and to have a referendum, to give people a final say on the deal. 0k. Going back to labour, a key labour message for this campaign from your party has been the nhs is not for sale. People chant it at labour rallies. Who wants to buy the nhs and who plans to sell it . Its quite clear from the leaked documents in the usa uk from the leaked documents in the usa uk trade talks, the usa want longer patents on their own medicines to make drugs much more expensive for the nhs. Has anyone agreed to that at this side of the water . Theyve had six meeting so far with us trade negotiators and not one of those meetings has patented drugs and the nhs been taken off the table. Thats because, as you know, trade negotiations do not begin properly until the uk has left the eu. Thats why. They have had significant talks, six meetings already to talk about what is on and off the table and those meetings start with everything on the table, and they say if its not explicitly excluded, they will be up for negotiation and at no point of uk trade negotiators take on the nhs off the table. Its quite clear Us Insurance Companies and Health Providers want access to nhs, patient data, access to our drugs market, want access to the nhs, and we will not be embarrassed about saying that the tories cannot be trusted with the nhs when they have steadily privatised it over the last few years and starved it of the resources needed. Hence the shocking images we saw in amd this week. Privatisation, providing treatment for nhs patients began under the last labour government. Daniel, is borisjohnson last labour government. Daniel, is Boris Johnson empathetic . last labour government. Daniel, is Boris Johnson empathetic . I think hes going down very well but the electorate here in shrewsbury and across the country. There is Boris Johnson empathetic . Yes, i think he is. What evidence have you seen fordyce . Is. What evidence have you seen fordyce . For this . Is. What evidence have you seen fordyce . For this . In my own experience of him, and how he deals with constituents, how he goes around the country trying to better understand individual cases. How did you feel when he refused to look at the image of a four y
