Cheering and applause new figures show a single dose of the Pfizer Or Astrazeneca vaccine cuts the risk of hospitalisation by around 75 . Ministers say they feel deeply ashamed of low conviction rates for Rape Cases in england and wales. A tale of heroism and survival. The woman who fought off a crocodile to save her sister. It grabbed her on the leg and tried to Death Roll her and drag her away, so i was beating it on the snout and it grabbed my wrist and my arm, so i had to beat it off with my other arm. Hello there. The countdown is on to one of the oldest rivalries in football. England and scotland face Each Other in the euros tonight. Thousands of Scotland Fans are In London for the game at wembley, which has huge implications for both nations� hopes in the competition. Its the first Time the mens teams will meet in a major tournament for a quarter of a century. England will qualify for the Knockout Stage with a win, while scotland need a victory to keep their hopes alive in the competition. In a moment, well hear from our correspondents In London and in dumfries, but first this report from jane dougall. Scotland fans have descended On London for a much anticipated match against the auld enemy. Were looking forward to it. Were going to beat england 2 0. I say 2 1, we will go for that, 2 1. Well take it. We are very generous, well give you one. Were here for a Stag Do and a bit of football as well. Have you Got Tickets for the game . No tickets, but we will be in a pub. The last Time these two countries met in a major tournament was euro 96. It finished in a win for england, sealed with this memorable Paul Gascoigne goal. Heres gascoigne. 0h, brillant oh, yes some will look back fondly on the skill and perhaps the infamous gazza celebrations. Others, not so much. My foot slips, my right foot slips. Not to the extent that its going to make a different to what gazza did. Its taken englands greatest ever footballer to do that to me. Theres no shame in what happened to me with the Goal And Everything else. People actually seem to think that it keeps me awake at night, this goal. You can imagine last week, the week before, the amount of stick and the amount of social media, every platform you can imagine, its there and im getting it. This was just the start of English Celebrations last evening after that amazing match at wembley. Typical gazza, he had. The Water Bottle neatly placed behind the goal, ready to go for the celebrations. So he couldnt have. Planned it any better. 25 years later, the stage is set for a repeat of the oldest international fixture in the world. England already have a win under their belts in this tournament, but Scotland Go into the match following a loss. But the squad is happy to be underdogs and they already have a feel for playing in england. Their Training Base is in the quiet town of darlington, where theyve created something of a Scottish Embassy and developed a Siege Mentality ahead of this match. Obviously there has to be belief, there has to be a Confidence Level that you can go to any team and play well against them, whether thats england at wembley or a different nation in a different country. You always have to have that Self Belief and that sort of level of arrogance where we can play and we are more than suited to be on this stage, as weve proven with the Journey Weve had to get here. Confidence in the England Camp is in abundance after scoring in their victory over croatia. Then plays it into sterling that will do nicely they will consider themselves favourites, but scotland is a potential Banana Skin and the significance of this fixture we know what it means as players to represent england and when you are playing a Home Nation like scotland, we know what that entails with the fans. It is about us performing on the pitch and tactically getting it right are making sure that we exploit whatever weaknesses they have on the day. There have been many battles between these two countries. Some might argue none as bitter as those on the pitch. Jane dougall reporting there. Thousands of Scotland Fans have made the journey To London for the game. The vast Majority Havent Got Tickets, but have found a way to at least enjoy the build up.

Our Sports Correspondent John Watson is at wembley. Yes, john, there is a Game On Today. Beth is what youre there, im afraid the scots have waited a long Time for this, it has to be said, the old firm, the old enemy in a major tournament. The old firm, the old enemy in a majortournament. I the old firm, the old enemy in a major tournament. I wonder what their chances are given that england are fourth in the fee for ratings and scotland our 44th . Are fourth in the fee for ratings and scotland our 44th . And scotland our moth . Yes, hello, clive from and scotland our 44th . Yes, hello, clive from wembley. And scotland our 44th . Yes, hello, clive from wembley. I and scotland our 44th . Yes, hello, clive from wembley. I guess and scotland our 44th . Yes, hello, clive from wembley. I guess the i clive from wembley. I guess the rankings go out of the window when these two face Each Other and happen so infrequently. You had the Home Nations championship that was staged every year, that stopped in 1984, but since then it is england who have had the upper hand over scotland. They only lost once since then. There is so much as Take Today and i think that certainly form will go out of the window. Scotland supporters had in making their feelings felt here, Arriving En Masse In London. Weve seen that with those pictures of them enjoying themselves on the streets In London, they will be packing to the bars and they will be packing to the bars and the pubs to watch the game. Of course there are those arriving here in full voice, some 3000 will be inside the stadium a little bit later on to watch them take on england. Theres so much at stake. As you say, clive, they have waited so long to qualify for a major Mens Tournament once again, 20 years they have waited, and miniature Steve Clarke was very clear coming into this tournament, their aim was to get out of the gripper. A huge setback, losing their Opening Game to the Czech Republic, and it adds so much weight on this game. It is not necessarily a Must Win, were they to lose, scotland, it makes it very hard to keep alive their hopes of reaching the Knockout Stage, a huge amount of pressure will be on their shoulders heading into that final giving inspiration. But as i was saying, form certainly goes out of the window, and it is going to be fascinating to see how these two Teams Shape up a little bit later on. As we say so much rivalry, so much pride at Stake Cub but one thing that is going to unite these two teams, it is playing on this occasion, on this stage here at wembley in a major tournament. It has been a long Time since weve seen these two compete in a major tournament. Very hard to predict how it will go. Tournament. Very hard to predict how it will no. ,. , it will go. Given everything that is ha ened, it will go. Given everything that is happened. For it will go. Given everything that is happened, for these it will go. Given everything that is happened, for these two it will go. Given everything that is happened, for these two teams, l happened, for these two teams, meeting Together for the first Time in a long, long Time in a major tournament, to have the atmosphere there, fuelled with the fans, some of them perhaps fuelled with a bit of them perhaps fuelled with a bit of alcohol, one suspects, it is good to be a good atmosphere in there. It is, yeah. You talk about fans enjoy themselves. The hotel i was staying out last nightjust opposite the stadium, there was a lot of scottish fans in their cub they were in full voice well into the early hours of this morning. And when i came down this morning. And when i came down this morning, it was a few of them it is fair to say sleeping things off, but im sure theyve rounded things off for the game tonight. It is special, and that is certainly what uefa wanted, didnt they come up what uefa wanted, didnt they come up when they set out for this tournament which is being stage across the continent . They wanted fans in the stadiums, they wanted fans in the stadiums, they wanted fans in the atmosphere, and they wanted those countries staging matches to provide that, and wembley have certainly done that, about 25 full, around 3000 Scotland Fans in full, around 3000 Scotland Fans in full voice, many more england fans as well, they will create an atmosphere, they will create an occasion, and he think that is something that is very special for something that is very special for so we know that when it comes to major tournaments, so we know that when it comes to majortournaments, one so we know that when it comes to major tournaments, one of the most special things is awake it is usually staged in one city or one host country, and the travelling fans create that atmosphere, being in the Fan Parks. The Scotland Fans have not been up to enjoy that here. We know there is not indicated Fan Park here in the city. But they are Spread Out through the Pubs Pub through the bars, and certainly those here who are lucky enough to be inside the stadium, but the Scotland Fans have certainly tried to replicate that tournament atmosphere, arriving here In London, and seeing them stream in, many of them wearing kilts. It is a sea of tartan at Times and they are clearly enjoying themselves and it is making for a special and unique atmosphere, as i say. So where are these matches between england and scotland. Should between england and scotland. Should be a crackin between england and scotland. Should be a cracking game. Between england and scotland. Should be a cracking game. John, between england and scotland. Should be a cracking game. John, many be a cracking game. John, many thanks. John watson at wembley. Lets go to scotland. Catriona renton is in dumfries.

The Liberal Democrats are celebrating a stunning by election victory, after winning a seat that has been conservative for almost half a century. Sarah green won Chesham And Amersham in Buckinghamshire Byjust over 8,000 votes, overturning a tory majority of 16,000. The lib dem leader, Sir Ed Davey, says the conservatives have ignored local voters, and their Blue Wall of southern seats is now crumbling. 0ur political correspondent Iain Watson reports from chesham. The liberal Democrat Party is duly elected. The lib dems say theyve created a political shock wave, their candidate, Sarah Green, defeated the Conservatives Peter Fleet by a wide margin, gaining more than half the votes cast. Thank you. Know what happens when a really powerful, Strong Orange Force goes against a Blue Wall . The Liberal Democrats are claiming they can demolish conservative majorities in the same way as Borisjohnsons Party tore through Labour Strongholds in the north of england at the last election. What was really noticeable at the beginning of this campaign was when we knocked on doors in Chesham And Amersham, people kept saying to us, youre the first politicians to knock on our doors and ask our opinions since ive lived here, and ive lived here 40 years or 30 years or 20 years. People in this area have been taken for granted by the conservatives, and thats why theyve turned to the Liberal Democrats in such huge, huge numbers. The conservatives didnt expect to lose here. The Liberal Democrats grabbed a brick from the Blue Wall by relentlessly campaigning on local issues. Their candidate opposed to a high speed rail line, hs2. Well, nationally, the party supports it. And they also say that proposed changes to the Planning System played very badly with the governments traditional voters. And voters in amersham were no longer displaying tribal loyalties. Very happy, yeah. Im very happy. Lets see what gets done now, then. I couldnt possibly vote for the tories given the brexit fiasco. The Prime Minister praised the conservative candidate in Chesham And Amersham and remained defiant in the face of defeat. We are a great one Nation Party and we will continue with our mission to unite and level up, because that is the best way to deliverjobs and prosperity across the whole country. 0nly last month, the conservatives took hartlepool from labour, and some conservative mps are worried that all the talk of spending more on northern English Seats could turn some traditional voters off in the south. In remain voting, middle class seats in the south of england, the Conservation Coalition has been weakened to some degree in the wake of brexit, and the Liberal Democrats, frankly, are the party that, in many instances, are best placed to profit from that. And thats what theyve managed to do in Chesham And Amersham. In Chesham And Amersham, the Liberal Democrats have stormed to victory. But its still not clear whether this is a crisis for the conservatives which will soon pass or, as the lib dems claim, theres now a change in the political climate. Iain watson reporting there. 0ur political correspondent Jonathan Blake is at westminster. Lets talk about the Liberal Democrats for us. They have argued for quite a while that the next election is notjust about the redwall, it is about the Blue Wall, and they can make inroads into its sub is this really according to Ed Davey assigned that that Blue Wall could come doubling down . You only have to look could come doubling down . You only have to look at could come doubling down . You only have to look at the could come doubling down . You only have to look at the pictures could come doubling down . You only have to look at the pictures in could come doubling down . You only have to look at the pictures in the i have to look at the pictures in the report there to see that is what the lib dems are intending to do. And i think for them, it goes beyond a kind of neat political metaphor, if you like, because there are a good couple of dozen seeds which are on the lib Dems Target List where there is a very small majority that the conservatives hold in front of the Liberal Democrats, who finished in second place at the last general election, and these are areas of south london, a good number of them as well in the more affluent southern, southeastern areas of england and of the uk that the conservatives have traditionally counted on for strong support. So there is No Doubt that the Liberal Democrats will certainly be buoyed by this result, they will be encouraged and cheered by the scale of the majority that they were able to pull in from voters in Chesham And Amersham completing the conservatives into a pretty distant second place. The greens in third, labour absolutely nowhere to be seen. But the result of by elections are always interesting, they throw up are always interesting, they throw up the odd political upset like this. The Big Question remains, how much can they tell us about how voters are thinking and how they might vote, whether it be a general election soon in other parts of the country . Local issues will always come to play as well. Country . Local issues will always come to play as well. Lots of talk locally about come to play as well. Lots of talk locally about h52 come to play as well. Lots of talk locally about h52 and come to play as well. Lots of talk locally about h52 and planning i locally about Hs2 And Planning rules, planning rules nationwide, so they could be part of the debate when it comes to a general election, but is there a sense the conservative party under Boris Johnson has changed in a way that southern conservative grassroots voters are noppert equally happy with . Less socially liberal, for instance, things like cutting back Development Aid overseas, less concern about the public finances. Are there overall issues that Boris Johnson has to deal with in order to prevent this Blue Wall actually disappearing . The prevent this Blue Wall actually disappearing .

New research suggests a single dose of the Pfizer Or Astrazeneca vaccine reduces the risk of an infection that needs Hospital Treatment by around 75 . The figures from public Health England also show the vaccines are effective on all the major known variants, including delta. All adults in england are now eligible to book their firstjab. With more, heres our health correspondent, katharine da costa. The nhs is hoping to see more of this long queues of Over 18s waiting to get their first covid jab. With the more infectious Delta Variant now dominant in the uk and spreading fast among young adults, the pressure was on to get more jabs in arms. Today is a huge milestone because every one aged 18 or above in the country can now book their covid vaccination. We have 26 Million people fully protected with both doses, which is vital, but for the millions of people in their 20s and 30s who havent yet taken up that offer, make this weekend the moment when you come forward and get that protection for you, your friends, that keeps us all safe and hopefully gives us our summer back. 0ver 18s in Northern Ireland can already get theirjab. In scotland, all Over 18s will have been offered a vaccine by The End of next week, while wales has already offered all adults a first dose. The concern over the Delta Variant has delayed lifting restrictions by four weeks. The latest data on the Delta Variant shows the number of confirmed cases has risen to just under 76,000, up by more than 33,000 in a week. Since february, a total of 806 people have been hospitalised, and most hadnt had a vaccine or had only received one dose. Only 84 of those admitted had received both doses. If youve had two doses of either vaccine, you are more or less guaranteed not to end up in hospital. Your chances of ending up in hospital are reduced by more than 20 Times, and even one dose, once youve had a chance to make an immune response to it, will very substantially reduce the risk of ending up in hospital. The latest survey by the Office For National Statistics suggests in the week to last saturday, covid infections were rising in england but are still much lower than earlier in the year. The trend is less certain in scotland, wales and Northern Ireland. I am very confident that we will be able to go through with step four of the Road Map on the Timetable that ive set out, with treating july the 19th, as i said, as a terminus date. I think that is certainly what the data continues to indicate. Despite an increase in infections, Hospital Admissions and deaths arent rising at the same rate. The data will be closely watched, but early signs are promising. Katharine da costa, Bbc News. The government has released the latest coronavirus figures for the uk. The data shows that a further 11 people have died within 28 days of Testing Positive for Covid 19 and another 10,476 new cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in the uk. The total number of deaths now stands at 127,956. Italys said its introducing mandatory testing and a five Day Quarantine for visitors from britain. People from the us, canada, japan and other eu countries will be allowed in without curbs, if they can prove theyve had a jab or recently tested negative. Now its Time for a look at the weather with Helen Willets A Belgian Court has ordered Drugs Company Astrazeneca to deliver 50 Million doses of its vaccine to Eu Members by The End of september, well below what the eu had been seeking. Both sides claimed victory, with the European Commission stressing the firm would pay a financial penalty for each missed dose and the company promising it would easily meet the target. Ministers have apologised to rape victims for the low number of prosecutions and convictions in england and wales. Just 3 of cases resulted in someone being charged in 2019 and 2020, down from 13 five years ago. The government has admitted Budget Cuts are partly to blame, and has promised to introduce reforms. Heres june kelly. The words of some of those who have witnessed and experienced how the criminalJustice System treats rape complainants. 0ne Rape Survivor whose attacker escaped justice has waived her anonymity to speak out. I feel really sad that its taken this for them to listen. An apology is worth nothing to me unless they are actually going to change. You know what . If they want, you know, to kind of make this any better for those victims who have been through this, then reopen the cases, because they know that theyve let 98 of rapists free. Catherine was told that messages on her phone undermined her case. She sent them because she didnt want to aggravate her attacker, who threatened her with a knife. Complainants someTimes have to give up their phones for months as police gather evidence. Kitty gardner works as an independent sexual Violence Advisor helping victims. When you think about the idea of having to hand over your phone and it potentially being gone for 18 months, thats a really massive thing to ask of someone. Our whole world is on our phone, and youre asking someone who already feels really vulnerable to give that up. As part of its rape review, the government says that in the coming years, its aiming to process up to 10,000 Mobile Phones a year at the early stages of an investigation. So, some victims should get their phones back more quickly. The plan is also to publish regular scoreboards which will show how different parts of the criminal Justice System are performing. And to focus on the behaviour of suspects rather thanjudging victims. There will be a new framework for police and prosecutors. This is a tanker that will take a little Time to turn, and its one where we have to be very careful to make sure that we build a new operating model, if you like, a new way of investigating and prosecuting rape, that we build it in a way that is sound and just and provides, you know, good, solid, british justice. While all who work in this area welcomed the idea of a review, the Charity Rape Crisis said there had been a lack of engagement with those on the front line, as well as victims and survivors. June kelly, Bbc News. Weve got more coming up. Stay with us. Now its Time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. Good evening. It has been a day of contrast, plenty of Summer Sunshine in northern and western areas, a months wors of Rain Falling across eastern areas. It is pulling away any Thunder Reit Rain and the moves it off into the North Sea overnight, so a far more come from a night for sleeping in southern and eastern areas as we lose the humidity, a fairly cool Night North and west once again as well. If there is any missing this in the morning, that will clear away, and it does look a drier day for many parts of england. Perhaps a few more showers raking out across scotland, across southern counties in the afternoon. They could be a the Odd One popping up elsewhere. High levels of pollen. It feels warmer in the South And East without that rain. And more rain through cited into sunday through Saturday Night into sunday. What a friend coming in from the south and the west as well, so it looks like the more unsettled day of the weekend. Hello, this is Bbc News with me, clive myrie. The headlines thousands of Scotland Fans descend On London for tonights big Euros Football Match against england at wembley. A shock by Election Win for the Liberal Democrats in Chesham And Amersham, taking a seat that for almost half a centuy was tory blue. The lib dem leader says this is the beginning of The End, of the conservatives southern Blue Wall. New data shows a single dose of the Pfizer Or Astrazeneca vaccine, cuts the risk of hospitalisation by around 75 . Sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. Good morning. It would be strange to not talk about the excitement and attention, because, as we have been hearing, building very much ahead of this huge Matching Wembley in less than three months Time now, england against scotland at the errors, first and they have played Each Other at a major Mens Tournament for 25 years with so much at stake in england can make the knockouts if they win scotland, hoping to keep their results alive and they need a result if that is going to happen. We canjoinjane dougall now, whos at wembley for us. Will scotland be feeling the pressure knowing that they need a results . Im pressure knowing that they need a results . � ,. ,. ,. , results .

Im just having to talk above the town only here i results . Im just having to talk i above the town only here because it is noisy here talk above the black one. Scotland are bottom of Group D at the moment so they have to get something out of tonights match against england and that is no mean feat, is it . It is going to be really tough match but scotlands Head Coach has said that looking back over the Czech Republic match, the two nil loss, but actually analysing the performance and not the results showed that on another day may be scotland could have won three or four nil, day may be scotland could have won three orfour nil, and day may be scotland could have won three or four nil, and that is the positive that he is taking from that performance, that perhaps theyjust need to be more clinical, and we saw that there were few chances, where Jack Hendry hit the bar and others were in on goal and just couldnt quite capitalise on the chances that they got and they said Post Match as well that Captain Andy Robertson said that they needed to take their chances because the reality is that when they get chances, if they get chances against england here at wembley tonight, those chances will be few and far between so they have to take them when they get in. Jane. To take them when they get in. Jane, encland to take them when they get in. Jane, england that to take them when they get in. Jane, england that heavily to take them when they get in.

We have seen so many of the Scotland Fans descending On London and having a bit of a party and invite the phrase no Scotland No Party has been repeated over and over again and there has been a lot of gathering Together and supporting scotland from afar because i dont think everybody has to get to get into the stadium tonight. Yes, you mentioned the rankings and, of course, on Paper England should win this fixture. They are ranked in the world according to fifa where there are ranked 44th so of course it is an uphill battle for them but we have just been told by uefa that more than 2350 Scotland Fans will be inside wembley 3250. I imagine their voices will be raised and they will sound like more than that, pushing the country along because england will need to get something out of this historic fixture next week at wembley. Out of this historic fixture next week at wembley. Jane, thank you jane, week at wembley. Jane, thank you jane. Thank week at wembley. Jane, thank you jane. Thank you week at wembley.

Croatia, who lost to england, are facing the Czech Republic who beat scotland. That game is taking place at hampden park. It is live on Bbc One right now. It is currently goalless at the moment and there is a penalty the view going on right now, as we can see, so we can see maybe how this is resolved but if you do want to catch it you can have a look at it on Bbc One and i dont think it will get a look in Time. Sweden are a step closer to a place in the last 16. A penalty from Emil Forsberg gave them a 1 0 win over slovakia in st petersburg. That gives them four points after their draw with spain in the opening group match. Christian eriksen is out of hospital as he continues his recovery from a Cardiac Arrest on the pitch last saturday. The Denmark Team say he visited them today and he sent this message to everyone thanking them for their support and saying he will be cheering on denmark when they face their Must Win game against russia on monday. Well have plenty more for you, with the build up to england against scotland at wembley, in sportsday at 6. 30pm. Dont miss it. That is all the spot for now. Is a biggie. Thank you, gavin. A british woman who saved her Sisters Life by fighting off a crocodile has been speaking about the moment it attacked. The pair were swimming in a lagoon in mexico when the croc tried to drag 28 year old Melissa Laurie under water. Her Twin Georgia had to fend off repeated attacks by punching the creature, while trying to pull her sibling to safety. Shes been speaking to will grant. A Bandage Hiding the teeth marks in her wrist is the only outward sign of georgia lauries recent encounter with a crocodile. But the horrific attack which almost killed her twin Sister Melissa has left much deeper, emotionalscars. I heard her scream and i saw her being taken underneath by the crocodile. Then i realised she was really in trouble when i was calling out her name and there was no response from her. My worst fear became a reality is that i have probably lost her, that she is dead. Their nightmare began here at the manialtepec lagoon, their unlicensed german guide told the Tour Group they could swim in these waters, despite it being hatching season for crocodiles. I grabbed her body, i pulled it towards me i rested her on my chest and she was blue so i tried to revive her. Then the crocodile came along, so i beat it off. And it went away but then she started going into a fit, flailing her arms and legs. I think she thought it was still attacking her. So, i tried to calm her down and then it came back. So i beat it off again, but i was trying to hold her head up at the same Time so she didnt take in any more water, and beat it off, and then it went away and i dragged her body away to safety and then a boat came along. But, unfortunately, they couldnt get close enough with the boat and it took a little while and then it came back for a third Time. Thats when i sustained, actually, the most injuries because it grabbed her on the leg and her behind and tried to Death Roll her and drag her away. So, i was beating it on its snout and it grabbed my wrist and my arm. So, i had to beat it off with my other arm. Georgias quick thinking and bravery, hitting the animal repeatedly on the nose, undoubtedly saved melissa, who is still recovering from a Perforated Intestine and other injuries. Crocodile attacks in this part of mexico are rare, but rarer still is to survive one and tell the story afterwards. The twins are pretty unique in that regard, but the scars of their experience, both emotional and physical could take a lifeTime to fade. She thought that this was the way she was going to go and she wasnt ready. And she was thinking of me in herfinal moments. Like, what is going to happen to georgia . Whats she. You know, its really harrowing that she was feeling that way. I am counting my lucky stars that someone was looking out for us. Will grant, Bbc News. More now on the Liberal Democrats dramatic victory in the Chesham And Amersham by election. Their candidate Sarah Green won the seat by more than 8,000 votes, overturning a conservative majority of 16,000. The leader of the lib dems, Sir Ed Davey says the result sends Shock Waves through British Politics, and was a clear sign that the tory Blue Wall was crumbling. Boris johnson described the defeat as disappointing. Lets Take A Look at what the implications of this by election could be. Im joined by the financial Times whitehall editor, sebastian payne, and the chief Leader Writer at the observer, sonia sodha. Thanks forjoining us, and before we get into it were just going to play you a clip of Ed Davey smashing down the Blue Wall with an appropriately yellow hammer. There he is. Now, sid bastian, is this Over Exuberance . Sebastien. Was this a serious analysis, potentially, of where the future could lie when it comes to the Liberal Democrats making gains at the expense of the conservatives . It is a super interesting question and, to be honest, we dont fully know the answer to that yet because the Liberal Democrats havent made many games or had much to celebrate about in politics in recent years but this by election we really threw the Kitchen Sink at it and one in five liberal Democrat Activists now live In London and i think they all spent every spare moment in that constituency trying to win the by election and they did it by focusing very closely on the. The Johnson Government is planning to reform englands planning laws, to liberalise them, to make it easier to build on a big part of the country and the fact is that it is very unpopular in the chilterns and the area of outstanding natural beauty where Chesham And Amersham is based. The lib dems came in and said we would protect your green and pleasant land and it proved very popular. Conservative gains in this election, and unlike hartlepool, was appalling.

That if you concentrate on people in the north you are going to upset people in the south, and with labour which is the other Way Round . There is a sense that you are not really a national party. Is there something, frankly, tragic and thattrue, and i dont quite agree with watson just said there and i think that this by election, yes, it was to do with local issues and i think tory are in a bad campaign what sonia said there. Tories than a bad campaign. In Chesham And Amersham they didnt really have a message to give an active reason to vote for the party again but i would almost bet that seat will go back to the conservatives at the next election because i think Boris Johnson is quite deft At Pivoting in politics at the moment and at the moment he is focused on seats like Hartlepool And Batley and we have another election coming in West Yorkshire onjuly the 1st but i dont really think people are Chesham And Amersham were voting against conservatives because they are concerned about the Governments Rhetoric on flags or statues but i think it was a very specific set of local Issues Anything the conservatives to potentially face longer term problems and there are economic and cultural things to look at in the future but right now i still think the nearest thing to a one Nation Party that can appeal to all parts of the uk are still the conservatives. White like i sincerely hope youre going to eat your heart like one of your colleagues who made a prediction about this by election and he got it wrong and you are convinced it will go back to the tories at the election.
