labour criticised the move as a sticking plaster. let's talk to our education correspondent, julianne hargreaves. where will this be spent? we have some detailfrom the where will this be spent? we have some detail from the department for education. i want to alter something we have just education. i want to alter something we havejust said. 1.3 billion from next year, 2017 — 18. another 1.3 billion for the following year. in total 2.6 billion. year on year, a big injection of extra cash raided from civil servants in whitehall, the free schools programme, diverted back to the chalkface in classrooms. not new money from the treasury, it is from within the existing education budget. labour has said this is not new money. conservative ma nifesto this is not new money. conservative manifesto commitment in the general election they would put more money into schools. we knew it was coming, it has been made today, it will have a real impact. teachers are saying from the south—east of england to the north—west of england they are seeing

labour want a different approach. in our manifesto, we are committed to leaving the state pension age at 66 while we undertake a review into healthy life expectancy, arduous work, and the potential of flexible state pension age. even by the standards of the party opposite, their approach to the state pension age is reckless, short—sighted and irresponsible. when the evidence in front of us shows that life expectancy will continue to increase a little over one year every eight years that pass, fixing the state pension age at 66 as advocated by the party opposite demonstrates a complete failure to appreciate the situation in front of us. in the snp, we continue to call for the establishment ofan independent savings and pensions commission. we believe that the government is not doing enough to recognise the demographic differences across the united kingdom and an independent review of this would look at those and would take those into account. when her majesty the queen came to the throne in 1952, there were 300 people

when did the labour party introduce national living wage? never believes that the conservative government. >> the minimum wage with opposition from the conservative party. wages are lower than they were ten years ago and the prime minister has been in office for just one year, during that time disposable income has fallen by 2%. the economic consequences of austerity are very clear and so are the social consequences. life expectancy stalling for the first time in 100 years. today, the iss forecast income any quality is going to get worse and child poverty will rise to 5,000,000 x 2022. does the -- >> order! members are shouting, shouting excessively. they must calm themselves, take some sort of soothing medicine. >> i will try to help the honorable member. that is the prime minister not realize that her talk of a strong economy doesn't remotely match the reality that millions of people face with low wages and poverty? >> the right honorable gentlemen is wrong in some of the fact he is putting forward. inequality is down, life expectancy is c

and there was this debate in which many labour collea g u es this debate in which many labour colleagues put forward very strong and very good arguments about why there is a special deal needed for there is a special deal needed for the women. and you know what the tory minister replied? it is quite important that these women understand the need to go back into thejobs understand the need to go back into the jobs market, we understand the need to go back into thejobs market, we can offer them apprenticeships. what kind of insult to humanity is that? what kind of co nte m pt to humanity is that? what kind of contempt is that for women who have worked very hard all their lives, paid into the system that they might get... paid into the system that they might get. . . that paid into the system that they might get... that is jeremy corbyn speaking in durham. let's take you straight back to hamburg now where we're expecting a news conference with the leaders of the g20. the overview of the results of the summit, i told you before the summit that the preconditions for the success that the preco

one from labour's chuka umunna on brexit. and a third from another labour mp, stella creasy, on abortion rights for women from northern ireland. health is a devolved issue and women who travel from northern ireland to england for terminations currently have to pay for them. stella creasy‘s amendment — calling for an end had gathered cross—party support. and so it was on that, during a debate aboutjobs and the economy, that chancellor philip hammond announced the government would give way. my understanding is that my right honourable friend, the minister for women and equalities, is just about to make an announcement by way of a letter to members to intervene to provide finance for anyone coming from northern ireland. it's welcome that the government is looking to end this injustice, but the devil will be in the detail. could he make a commitment to meet with myself and other organisations organisations like maries stokes, to look at how we can turn this into a reality, so these women in northern ireland today will final

i wonder whether more young people voted labour because of what they thought labour stood for in terms of brexit. overwhelmingly young people are against leading to the eu. he seemed to have a softer line but in this interview he confirmed stronger than before that he fear was prime minister he would leave the single market and his policy on brexit is not that different to the government and wonder if that is not a bigger betrayal to young people. and wonder if that is not a bigger betrayal to young peoplelj and wonder if that is not a bigger betrayalto young people. i imagine the student debt thing really was the student debt thing really was the turning point to young people supporting jeremy corbyn. likely from me, i got through university before the feast kamin and i rightly the person they should despise and resent but i am on their side. i think the 9000 pounds is too much. interest rates at teeny tiny and 70% of stu d e nts interest rates at teeny tiny and 70% of students will not pay off their debt. it seems like an enormous waste of time and energy in order to make people mise

the labour party certainly has a pretty strong remain electorate. but of course, the problem the party faces is that on the other hand, many inside the party would like to get back the so-called traditional working vote, where labour did not in thise much progress election and that is much more pro-leave. the labour party is trying to keep together a coalition of what is a predominantly middle-class, pro-remain vote, but also wanting to get back in more traditional working class, more pro-leave vote. in in this election and that is much more pro-leave. the the conservative party, they have this predominantly pro-leave vote, which is not necessarily the kind of vote that big business would like the conservatives to listen to. don't be surprised if during the bothfew weeks or months parties reveal internal divisions over brexit, which does mean that at the end of the day, neither will give the electorate a clear message as to where they stand on brexit, as voters might like, and therefore don't prasm that labour's -- don't presume that labour's positi

frankfurt is looking to labour law lockouts as it looks to attract post brexit banks. there is attract post brexit banks. there is a wonderful game at the moment, trying to attract banks from london to other european cities ahead of brexit. dublin has been quite successful. frankfurt has done reasonably well. it attracted three significant japanese banks but the labour laws are very different from the uk. the germans have come up with the concept of identifying so—called risktakers, effectively what you might call the traders in investment banks that they will change the rules of the bank wants to get rid of the risktakers, they could do it easily without applying german labour laws. they can change the laws —— the rules so easily, the banks will be concerned that once they have got them, they can change them. some of the american banks would say exactly that which is why they will not be rushing to frankfurt. those labour laws are one of the big issues for the banks with concerns of moving to france, it's difficult to dismiss people. concerns of moving to france

and labour's way means everyone pays the price of labour. [shouting] >> mr. speaker, when tories talk of tough choices we know who suffers, it's the poorest and most vulnerable in our society. young people employed on zero hours of contracts are more likely to have worse mental and physical health. students who have worked hard at university graduating with the 7000 pounds worth of debt that will stay with them until they retire. mr. speaker, let me spell it out to the prime minister. this is the only country in which wages have not recovered and the global financial crash. more people are using food banks, 4 million children living in poverty, record in work poverty, young people who see no prospect of owning their own home, and 6 million earning less than the living wage. the lope epidemic is a threat to our economic stability. can she take some tough choices and instead of offering platitudes, offer some real help and real support for those in work, young people, who deserve better and deserve to be given more optimism, rather than greater inequality? >> w

apparently labour are going to poseit edge. apparently labour are going to pose it — — edge. apparently labour are going to pose it —— oppose it why agreeing with the tory hard brexit to take us out of the single market and then freedom of movement. poor opposition has been offered by the labour party. in the meantime we will continue to look after scottish interests and fight for a place in the single market. i do also think it isa the single market. i do also think it is a great shame that he co nsta ntly it is a great shame that he constantly talks about wanting to stay in the single market, which he knows for a fact means not leaving the eu. in other words, for his colleagues, the scottish nationalists‘ own ends, they would seek to undermine the will of the united kingdom. that is totally undemocratic on this side of the house and i hope on the opposition benches, we will fulfil the will of the people. a short time later, the bill was formally put for parliament. well, a short time later the bill was formally put before parliament. second reading. what date? tomorro

labour makes a plea for fair pay, for doctors and nurses. i want to talk about the spending plans of 2017 where he can find £1 billion for northern ireland but nothing the nurses in england. and the trials and tribulations of southern trains. my constituents have had to put up with so much, extended engineering works, overcrowding an unsatisfactory compensation process. theresa may had made a manifesto commitment to scrap free school lunches for better off children at infant schools in england, during the election campaign conservatives said evidence showed every school breakfast was as effective at helping children learn as a hot meal at lunch, and could be delivered at a tenth of the cost. but the celebrity chef jamie oliver said the plan was misguided. in the commons, the schools minister was called to answer questions on the future of education funding in england. we want to make sure that every school has the resources it needs which is why we have protected the schools budget in real terms since 2010. we have set out our intention to

the issue with a triple lock, which the tories did not, and labour wanted to hold onto. the redistribution of wealth, he held at the top, the older generation, not trickling down. there will be many people saying there are a lot of pensioners struggling. difficult to make sweeping statements. it is indeed. more evidence and more grass cannot hurt. we like grass, even though quite difficult to see. maybe that is my eyesight. the ft, hands—on approach. president is joining forces for the bastille day parade in paris. donald and emmanuelle in their best friends. loaded with symbolism. 100 years since the american forces during the first world war, bastille day, france looking at its very best for this holiday. two great revolutionary republics. throwing off the shackles of oppression at the same time in the 18th century.

you say when, not death, it must be great for labour. the optics are really good for labour. the conservatives were never going to keep the pay cap for ever, but it looks as if the reason it has been quick and is because of the pressured labour has been applying. it needs at the very bad when the conservatives voted to get rid of the amendment, they all cheered, and played into labour hand that conservatives don't care about public sector workers. jeremy corbyn was speaking yesterday. there seems to bea was speaking yesterday. there seems to be a mood changed towards austerity, not just from to be a mood changed towards austerity, notjust from the public, but from politicians. if you get back to david cameron when ed miliband was labour leader, you couldn't get through at pmq is without hearing about the five—year plan ora without hearing about the five—year plan or a need to cut the deficit. the conservatives have stopped using that argument. the death as you mentioned three times in the conservative manifesto. jeremy corbyn has been able to promise of the spending witho

labour's way leads to fewer jobs, higher prices, more taxes, and labour's way means everyone pays the price of labor. speaker: jeremy corbyn. mr. corbyn: mr. speaker, when tories talk of tough choices, we know who suffers -- it's the poorest and most vulnerable in our society. [shouting] young people, mr. speaker, employed on zero hours contract, are more likely to have worse mental and physical health. students who have worked hard at university graduating with 57,000 pounds worth of debt that will stay with them till they retire. mr. speaker, let me spell it out to the prime minister. this is the only country in which wages have not recovered since the global financial crash. more people are using food banks. 4 million children living in poverty. record in work poverty, young people who see no prospect of owning their own home, and 6 million earning less than the living wage. the low pay epidemic is a threat to our economic stability. can she take some tough choices and instead of offering platitudes, offer some real help and real support for those in work, young people, who deserve

migration on our labour market in the uk and that will inform government policy. government will set policy. the framework will be what the immigration system will be in the immigration bill in 2018. we don't want a cliff edge, we want business to grow and develop. you say that they will be no free movement of european workers after march, 2019 but the home secretary says there will be transition arrangements for to three years where european workers can come here and work. which is it? they are compatible, they go together perfectly well. when we leave the eu, by definition, freedom of movement will end. there will be a system, after march, 2019, which will be our new system and there will be a period of that, a transition system including a number of things, for example eu citizens looking to get settled status in the uk, who have qualified, after that negotiation. there will be a grace period of two years for them to deal with it. we will say to people coming to this country that they will potentially have to register so we know who is here. that isn't controll

but labour that the wrong end of the debate. it is where you are born into your bond a life chances. if you're born in a poor farmer, you don't get support from the very beginning, before you can go to school. you're less likely to make it a university and then go on and make enough money to pay off listed below and if you do get to university. i don't think 4096 of people should necessarily be going to university. a lot of people graduate with debt and are not secure graduatejobs. not graduate with debt and are not secure graduate jobs. not all degrees of the same. lumping them all in one category is dangerous. some degrees are useless. name one. gender studies is a worthless degree and you should not be paying for it. you're being generous with other people's money and asking other people's money and asking other people too... i love shaking that money tree. love it. i can't shake it enough. it's like when i used to go to church. finally, i love the story. this is the daily express. jean—claude juncker, president of the eu c

everything is up labour have suggested. everything is upforgrab, it labour have suggested. everything is up for grab, it seems like it. you know, there have been several interviews that show the result of the election mean the government is not the strongest position. people coming for money, maybe it leads to vote. we don't know which one could, theresa may, leave aside the brexit thing, which is already complicated, domestically this is is a whole host of issues in which every minister must be banging down the door asking for mormon. it shows the power of the youth vote in the election, which was, had never really been harnessed before, young voters registering and voting labour. what was fascinating in the eu referendum only 40% of 18—25—year—olds voted. in the last election, a couple of weeks ago it was 70%, and people like my daughters and their generation were getting out the vote. they are calling themselves generation vote, social media was important. labour did lots of funny memes and pictures they were putting o memes and pictures they were putting oto memes

labour will end up there, but it is very precarious because so many labour seats voted for brexit. they are inching forwards, including jeremy corbyn. his own instincts might be anti—european. he wants to be prime minister, and if he does it will be on the back of the brexit question. they are trying not to move faster than the people. it is very tricky. a week europe is not good for the world, world stability. and of course changes in america as well. new leadership in america take advantage of this tricky situation to serve its own interest and stop as faras to serve its own interest and stop as far as the arab point of view, it is the same, they would rather have a strong europe leading the region. and we have a european leader in giving this impression that, he sent foreign minister to the gulf this weekend, president macron france. taking a lot of diplomatic initiatives. now in the gulf trying to act as an honest broker. is he filling a vacuum of leadership? partly, roberto 's first visit abroad was to mali in africa which is very significant. this is clear message that we w

left in a plot to oust dozens of labour mp5. the section hit list as corbyn takes an 8—point lead. section hit list as corbyn takes an 8-point lead. just when you think things might have been going the right way for labour and that jeremy corbyn was doing really well, people we re corbyn was doing really well, people were gathering around him, you now hear about this hard left plot and, you know, this might be the way the times has decided to present it but you can't deny there has been a real increase this week in the talk about deselection of mps. was there an uneasy truce in the labour party after the election do you think which is now that's beginning to fall apart‘s which is now that's beginning to fall apart's you had silence from the moderates. there is often confusion here that people, let's call them the moderates, that they'd wa nt call them the moderates, that they'd want to play any part in:'s team and thatis want to play any part in:'s team and that is untrue. what happened when corbyn was trying to those cabine

if i'm honest, i've heard stories about quite a few labour mps who didn't think they we re labour mps who didn't think they were going to keep their seats, and ended up keeping them. when the result came through, it was a com plete result came through, it was a complete shock. a complete shock? when was that moment for you of realisation? it was when i heard the exit poll. to be honest with you, i didn't actually watch the exit poll myself. i have superstition about things like that. my husband watched it for me and came and told me. i was shocked at the result that came through in the exit poll. it took a few minutes for it to sink in, what that was telling me. my husband gave mea hug, that was telling me. my husband gave me a hug, and then i got on the phone to cchq, to the conservative party, to find out what had happened. that must've been a moment for philip to tell you that. it must have been quite hard for him? yes, was. but he's been a huge support for me over the years. there are times when i perhaps get in to read a newspaper article —— i perhaps get him to read a newspa

general election, and some mps in the labour party think they could win it. they are likely to not work with theresa may closely who they think as a wounded prime minister. if you talk to mps behind the scenes they don't say that they want to be in power because they think the next two years will be difficult. when it comes to back it yes, the problem there again the liberal democrats say that what is she suggesting when she talks about working together on brexit? can you really negotiate with her, speaking tojeremy corbyn all the time about what the position will be. again, doesn't seem particularly practical way of doing it. looking at our own cabinets, they don't seem to agree on a negotiating position, let alone across the house of commons, because the problem she has that if it comes to votes, we know that the repeal bill will be coming and published on thursday this week. there may not be any significant votes until later on in the autumn. the problem is that mps may choose that in order to get their own way on things. she is not in control, of the proc

this must be a great win for labour. yeah, the optics are really good for labour. even with the public sector pay cap, the conservatives were never going to keep this forever. but it looks like this is... the reason this has been hastened or quickend is because of labour and the pressure they're putting on it. and we saw with the amendment they put in this week to the queen's speech on the public sector pay cap, it really put the pressure up. it made it look very bad when the conservatives did vote to get rid of the amendment, they all cheered. that wasn't a good look and it really plays into labour's hands and suggested the conservatives don't care about public sector workers. we saneremy corbyn yesterday at the anti—austerity march. he was speaking. there does seem to be a definite mood change towards austerity, not only by the british public but also by politicians as well. yeah, if you look back to david cameron, when ed miliband was labour leader, you couldn't really get back through a pmqs oi’ any common session without hearing about the five—year plan

it didn't quite go as far as saying he would wipe it out altogether but this morning labour's shadow education secretary was asked about this on the andrew marr show and she made it clear that although it is not quite a policy yet it is definitely their aim and their ambition to wipe out that debt. definitely their aim and their ambition to wipe out that debtm isa ambition to wipe out that debtm is a big abacus i'm working on with that, it is a huge amount, 100 billion... a huge amount of money. they have got to start dealing with this debt crisis we are foisting on our young people. they are leaving university with £57,000 worth of debt, it is unsustainable and we have got to start tackling that. and you simply spraying around huge spending promises to recklessly? another hundred billion pounds on tuition fees, that is some sofa you have to find. jeremy said it is an ambition, something he would like to do. it is not something we will announce we are doing unless we know we can afford to do that. so to put that into context, it is more than double the uk defence budget, more than t

the snp and labour were equally upset. perhaps unfavourably, this parliament has already been dubbed the zombie parliament. i actually think that this comparison would actually give the flesh—eating undead a bad name. this is turbo—charged political zombie—ism. but it's a curious type of zombie—ism, mr speaker, cos if you look at them, not only are they tearing the flesh from the public, but they are starting to consume themselves. if you look around whitehall just now, what passes for discourse, normal discourse, amongst secretaries of state and whitehall departmentsm is briefing and counter briefing. and this is what happens, leader of the house, when you do nothing — bad stuff happens. this is a government at war with itself. the government said many important debates had already taken place. last week, we had a vital debate on the grenfell inquiry. many powerful points were raised from members on all sides of the house, and it's right that we have prioritised giving time to such a catastrophic and tragic even

he attacked labour's public spending plans. if they had carried on spending at the rate they were when they left office, there would be an extra £1 trillion added to the public debt by the end of this parliament. and we saw their manifesto at the last general election wasjust spend, spend, spend other people's money with no credible plan to pay for it. and that way, i suggest, ms ryan, is not the route that our country should follow. and the fact that so few of them are here to defend their plans, i suspect, tells us everything we need to know. he turned to the spending demands facing ministers. there are many pressures on public spending. there is public sector pay, funding for our national health service, funding for social care, colleagues want more money put into schools, there are many, many pressures on public spending, and part of the challenge of being in government is that you cannot say yes to everybody, you have to make choices and you have to set priorities. would he also agree with me that our public services are

those calls for cooperation were also seized on by labour's shadow defence secretary. she wondered if defence ministers would agree to a pay rise for members of the armed forces. after losing her majority at the general election the prime minister has now signalled that she is prepared to work across the house with other parties in areas of agreement. in that spirit i would like to make a constructive offer. the government has just introduced an armed forces bill in the other place. if they agree to amend that bill to include a real terms pay rise for our armed forces personnel then they can count on labour support. will the government agree to work with us to give our armed forces the pay award they deserve? we all want to see our armed forces being properly remunerated for the service that they give us. but it is also incumbent on the honourable lady to make it very clear how any increase that she is favouring would be properly paid for. and that is something she hasn't done, her party hasn't done, and they certainly didn't do it the last election. the pay review sys

this was set up by those involved injeremy corbyn‘s labour campaigns, it suggested 50 labour mp should bejoining the liberals. some of those names included those who nominated jeremy corbyn for the leadership. the liverpool mp, basically the left in her local party took control and one of them suggested she ought to publicly reca nt suggested she ought to publicly recant criticism jeremy corbyn, apologised to him for disloyalty. attem pts apologised to him for disloyalty. atte m pts to apologised to him for disloyalty. attempts to try to defuse the row but i think she is genuinely concerned about what might happen to her. i don't expect to see some kind of mass purge of labour mps. what is going on beneath the surface is an attempt to change the rules to try to move the party permanently to the left. at this year's party conference, there will be an attempt to change the leadership rules to make it easier forjeremy corbyn to hand over to another left—wing successor. some things will be debated this year. something is not until next year. that will include making it easier to unseat s

but the former labour prime minister has suggested political change in france has opened the path to compromise. tony blair claims the eu could be willing to make concessions on the free movement of people, to allow the uk to stay in a reformed eu. britain benefits enormously from that freedom of movement. however, the question is whether there are changes, qualifications to it, not alteration of the indivisibility of the principle, but qualifications to it around the things that concern people. but those claims directly contradict what those in brussels are saying, that the uk must accept free movement, without exception or nuance. i'm not going to disclose conversations i had within europe, but i'm not saying this simply on the basis of a whim. some of those who campaigned to leave the eu says there is no evidence to back up mr blair's claim. the eu itself has made it absolutely clear that the four freedoms, including freedom of movement, are indivisible, as they've called it. the chief negotiator, barnier, has said that. they took four minutes to agree those guidelines. there is n

and i thinkjason's description could apply to the labour party, it is all tricky and i think theresa may is grateful for the timing that this is her last cabinet meeting and she will not be subject to more links, although the timetable of brexit is the only thing that carries us through the summer, jason and i wondering what the recess will bring after this frantic period but i imagine briefings will continue and they will not be able to resist. the daily telegraph have a story about overseas aid money which they say is being wasted. we must use the word wasted very carefully. it is a detailed report and is full of praise for the department for international development, it says it has done better but there was a habit of it coming to the end of a financial year and then rushing through spending to meet its target. the government has bred the development budget among other departments and it is the other departments and it is the other departments who have a smaller share of the budget and are now spending their money on the deadline. the argument is not that money is being wasted, i

the leader of the labour group of the council is appalled. one of the great things about living in london is that you do have a balanced population, and i do think we have a duty not to produce the prettiest ghost town in western europe. our first loyalty should be to maintaining and strengthening our communities, and we have fallen down on that job terribly. kensington and chelsea told us they are struggling to provide affordable homes, due to being a small, densely packed area with limited sites and high land values. they say they do what they can, sometimes pushing developers to give more. but ultimately, they say they have limited capacity to provide housing. average house prices around here are more than £1 million. despite that, the council has a target of building 200 affordable homes each year. developers, however, seem increasingly keen to ignore such goals. kensington and chelsea is an inner borough, and it also has relatively high land values. therefore, there is more likelihood of developers wanting to build entirely private sche

some will have had very hard physical labour lives, left school at 15 ori6, physical labour lives, left school at 15 or 16, worked for 50 or more yea rs, at 15 or 16, worked for 50 or more years, contributed to national insurance for years, contributed to national insurance for more years, contributed to national insurance for more than 50 years and cannot get a penny of state pension until whatever the minimum starting age is. if we can have a more flexible approach recognising these differences, and the difference in life expectancy between some places in scotland in some places in london can be 20 years or so. we live in a time where retirement is more flexible, people don't suddenly stop work at one age, people's lives are more flexible and i think we need to make a national insurance system fits better. and we could do that. these changes will not start for another 20 years or so, there is time to get this rate, there will be another state pension review in the next parliament. we need to bear in mind that the state pension itself has nothing to help people with the cost of long—

it was a key part of labour's campaign promise to scrap that. jeremy corbyn also alluded to helping people who currently a re also alluded to helping people who currently are paying off their student debt. he didn't go as far as saying that he would wipe it out altogether, but this morning the shadow education secretary was asked about this. she made clear that although it is not quite a policy, it is definitely an ian and ambition to wipe out that debt. it isa it is a big abacus that i am working on with that. it is a huge amount, 100 billion that they estimate. it isa 100 billion that they estimate. it is a huge amount of money. we have to deal with this debt crisis that we are foisting on our young people. it is not acceptable. they are leaving university with £57,000 worth of debt. it is unassailable. aren't you simply spraying around huge spending policies to recklessly? another hundred billion pounds ride on tuition fees at the last moment. that is some sober you have to find. jeremy said that was an ambition, something he would like to d

labour thought it was a missed opportunity. in the words of the general secretary of unite, the biggest union in the uk, instead of the serious programme the country urgently needs to ensure that once again work pays in this country, we got a depressing sense that insecurity is the inevitable new norm. the wage increases we have seen in the last year have been at their highest amongst the lowest paid, thanks to the national living wage. today's response to the taylor review from the government tells us everything we need to know about their frailty and their approach to workers' rights. a weak set of proposals that will probably not be implemented, a set of talking points that leaves the balance of power with employers and big business. the king of spain came to westminster as part of his state visit to the uk. as we heard earlier, theresa may missed prime minister's questions to take part in the day's events. she and jeremy corbyn were part of the audience when the king addressed both houses of parliament in the lords royal ga

we had the labour shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell saying this morning, outlining, again labour's policy to give public sector workers a pay rise equal to 1% and possibly more. he was passed on the detail of how labour would fund a pay rise above inflation for public sector workers. we will end a pay cut. we have made that clear. we have set aside 4 billion on an annual basis to enable it happen. we have looked at the office for budget responsibility forecasts on helping will rise and it will certainly much inflation, and some review bodies will try and compensate the sum of losses of the la st compensate the sum of losses of the last seven years. again, we're very clear, unlike the government which set a cap the review bodies have to follow, it will be up to those bodies to make recommendations that we will did too. that is the policy issue, what about the personality issue, what about the personality issue philip hammond has spoken openly about people out to get in. that is right. we're seeing a briefing war, really, most cabinet ministers over the last few weeks. the chancellor has pu

much of the economy, it is casual labour and in the same way that airbnb does not own a hotel rooms, and facebook does not own the media. a lot of noise made about this because it this is £1 billion valuation potentially but if you look at the amount of money that has gone into these business, you could be one during what is going on. $275 million raised last year they are about to raise a similar sum and the evaluation stems from how much money you have had put into the business so you have had put into the business soldo you have had put into the business so i do not think that is particularly exciting. evaluation at this stage, and i have had experience, the evaluation hung like a stone around may next. -- my neck. just yes or no, can andy murray when? i think you will get through the match today which is one round further than queens but i think it is unlikely that he will win. you heard it first on the bbc. that's it from us. have a great day. hello. the weekend was something of a mixed bag across the greater part of scotland and northern ireland, but once we get into england a
