I think it is a bit of a farce actually. This promise to end no fault evictions was made in 2019. To explain what that is, it means a landlord can evict a tenant without giving a reason and they have to be get out in two months notice. That affects nearly 100,000 people directly as a result since that promise was first made. We as Campaign Group have been pushing for this to be delivered on for the last five years. It has survived four Prime Ministers and was dropped by liz truss and then picks back up again by her. The bill was introduced in may 2023 so more than a year ago now, ample time to go through parliament. It has been delayed by a backbench rebellion. There is now no time to pass it.

There are a number that will happen, we were talking about the Bill To Exonerate X postmasters. That will happen. Particularly that Leasehold Reform bill. Ithink that will happen.

But i think it is worth saying that the i think it is worth saying that the Prime Minister chose to have the election now, it is not something that was forced upon him and it is not something that was set out before. This is a decision that has been taken, implementing some of these comedies that were in the 29 manifesto. They were talked about as key pieces of legislation and so it wasnt that it had to be like this. I think that you are right, it speaks of the priorities of the government. 15 speaks of the priorities of the government speaks of the priorities of the covernment. ,. ,. ,. , government. Is it fair to say that this predominantly government. Is it fair to say that this predominantly affects government. Is it fair to say that i this predominantly affects young people . They are trying to drum up support for their Election Campaign, making certain promises to voters ahead of that date. What will people who are directly affected by this bill going through, what will they make of politicians and the promises they may make now . There is a sense that you can say what you want, you dont have to deliver. It is obviously. Dont have to deliver. It is obviously, your dont have to deliver. It is obviously, your viewers i dont have to deliver. It 3 obviously, your viewers wont be surprised, i think i would just push back against that. It is notjust young people, you are increasingly seeing families living in the private rental sector, people in their 30s, 40s, 50s, never having got onto the housing ladder. They deserve security in their homes as well. It will be very interesting to see if the government say anything on this today. This was in the 2019 manifesto, i suppose they could just copy and paste that line and put it in the next manifesto. White mac that was going to be my next point. That was going to be my next point. I assume you would like to see it in a manifesto of any party. A manifesto of any party. Yes. We have been a manifesto of any party. Yes. We have been very a manifesto of any party. Yes.

We have been very clear. The bill had | have been very clear. The bill had some good things but it wasnt going to completely change the game and that was because it had been watered down by a concessions to landlord mps. We need to see a renters reform bill committed to by all parties that goes right to the heart of the crisis in private rented. To deliver security for renters. That means abolishing loopholes such as extortionate rent rises. We will be looking very closely at what the party sets out in the coming weeks. And we have to hope that whoever wins this election does follow up on the promises that they make. Thank ou. The promises that they make. Thank yon campaign the promises that they make. Thank you.

They will exonerate Sub Postmasters or former Sub Postmasters or former Sub Postmaster is involved in the horizon it scandal. Today is day three of the evidence being given by the former Chief Executive of the post office, Paula Vennells. Edward henry casey told us she was living in a Cloud Of Denial. She tried to respond to the inquiry to the best of her ability. Following the inquiry, our reporter is there for us. Just breaking, looking at the pictures, take us through what we have heard this morning. There were some pretty tough questions and it was quite difficult to watch at some points.

He put it to her that she wasnt being forthright about the timeline and that timeline of course is key to understanding how the biggest injustice in uk history could possibly have happened. He is trying to understand exactly what she knew about Remote Access and the fact that fujitsu employees were able to access the Sub Postmaster accounts without them even knowing. Also, what she knew about garethjenkins, a key witness for post office and an employee for fujitsu who made a false statement in court. He was an unreliable witness.

It has been really important to me to do what i didnt, or was unable to do at the time i was Chief Executive, and i have worked for the last three years and prioritise this above anything else. For the last year it has probably been a full time job. And it is for the last year it has probably been a full timejob. And it is my commitment, i have avoided talking to the press, perhaps to my own detriment. All the way through i have put this first.

To have more post offices in more communities. What i failed to do, and i have made this clear previously, i did not recognise the, and it has been discussed across the inquiry, the imbalance of power between the institution and the individual. I let these people down. The horizon they were falsely convicted of theft or false accounting. Many others waiting to be exonerated. Scottish parliament passed its own Emergency Law last week. There is still no timetables on when those convictions would be quashed. There are also those who have already lost their own appeals. They are not covered by this law. This miscarriage of justice, this fight is not over. We will be back with you throughout the day. Lets return to the General Election. Campaigning continuing on this, day two on the general Election Campaign. We have had rishi sunak in northern ireland, keir starmer in glasgow and we know that ed davey, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, has been in eastbourne. He has been talking about health care and access to gps. Our Political Correspondent is in eastbourne. It really was a focus on health and access to a doctor that ed davey was talking about voters this morning. It is so good to be here in eastbourne. The Liberal Democrats are bringing change to eastbourne. Particularly across the South Of England where Everybody Knows now that if you want to beat the conservatives, you vote liberal democrat. People want the conservatives out. They have made such a mess of our country on the economy, health service, environment, things like sewage. We are determined to beat as many conservative mps as we possibly can. We have put some more money in the metre, so we can talk to you we are 48 hours into this campaign and they are already laying out what they want voters to focus on. Tell us more about what ed davey was saying this morning. Ed more about what ed davey was saying this morning this morning. Ed davey is always t in to this morning. Ed davey is always trying to change this morning. Ed davey is always trying to change line this morning. Ed davey is always trying to change line that this morning. Ed davey is always trying to change line that we this morning. Ed davey is alwaysl trying to change line that we have been hearing from sir keir starmer, but he is targeting that as a specific crop of seats with the lib dems are essentially the challenge are parties to the tories. He says he has his eyes on about 80 seats and he is confident he can take quite a few of them of the tories. He is saying to the tories in these particular areas, the blue wall, the blue coast, places like eastbourne and lewes, he is saying, if you want the best chance of kicking out the tories, which he thinks many people are feeling inclined to do, vote lib dem. It is interesting that he has chosen to fan out to the specific states first unlike keir starmer and rishi sunak you have gone across the uk in the past 48 hours, ed davey is focusing on the seats that he thinks his party has the best chance of winning. The lib dems only have 15 mps, they have gained four more in by elections in the recent months, they are down from 57 in 2010, before they were pretty badly knocked off course by having been in the coalition. Ed davey wants to focus on the nhs, his message today is about gps, recruiting 8,000 more. He says he wants to enshrine a legal rights for everyone to see a gp within seven days. He thinks his messages are strong on the nhs, he wants to focus on Cost Of Living and sewage, Water Companies pumping sewage, Water Companies pumping sewage into rivers and seas. He also didnt really want to entertain any talk of whether he would be prepared to go into coalition with labour should that situation arise. He has been categorical and he was again when i spoke to him, he ruled out any sort of deals with the tories. Also interestingly he is making his case that he should be heard in the tv debates, saying he wants all the Party Leaders to have their chance now that there is some discussion about what format the Television Debates will take on this Election Campaign. Sir ed davey insisting that he does want the chance to be heard alongside the other Party Leaders, saying it is time for people to hear fresh voices and accusing the tories and labour of running scared.
