you mention outlied london, i have a list of councils to watch outside london. we discussed the london ones, a short while ago. iam going the london ones, a short while ago. i am going to share them with viewers because they have, these councils, they have trafford, and plymouth, and swindon, and dudley, and worcester and basildon and peterborough which andrew sinclair mentioned. to pick off a couple. trafford, what is the significance there? the significance of trafford is is one of those parts outside london which voted to remain, it is one of the so—called metropolitan districts, which the conservatives currently control, and if indeed it, behaves in the way that remain voting areas tended to do in the general election the conservatives may struggle to control that. in contrast, the conservatives were hopeful in basildon notjust because it was a leave voting area but there we re it was a leave voting area but there were plenty of ukip seats to pick up. whether that is going to happen is perhaps a more debatable but what is perhaps a more debatable but what

you said it was a point in london. point in london. doorstep in london but not anywhere else i campaigned. else i campaigned. system error as opposed to a campaign think. campaign think. that's something i'm grateful for. grateful for. that's a mistake politicians make. can i finish? and angry with 13 communities, i think that's dangerous. think that's dangerous. accept it was a pretty dreadful episode in terms of those families? episode in terms of those families? something that went wrong at the home office. home office. it as something we were doing deliberately and that wasn't true. deliberately and that wasn't true. was that you had a nightmare to prove your prehistory. prove your prehistory. their birth certificate from a parish in antigua or somewhere. parish in antigua or somewhere. they tightened up the immigration rules in 201a. rules in 201a. labour abstained in that piece of legislation. that piece of legislation. arguably, but everyone else had a part to play? it is people like sajid javid's family who came from pakistan... family who came from pakistan... there are lots of p

london. at this juncture in our story, our national story, what is your view of the state of london? people moan about house prices, business and dirty air and all the rest of it. what is it you feel about the place you're trying to capture? i'm a londoner. i've lived in london all my life. it's such a rich and fascinating, wonderful place. it's so full of stories and history and beauty, but there's also another side to it that is quite ugly. it's a very difficult place to live. it's increasingly difficult — financially, socially. yet there is this desire in londoners to remain in london and there is this sense of this is our home. you say this story of ordinary lives, ordinary people and their lives, is a hopeful story, why? it is a hopeful story, because it's about the endurance of the human spirit and about the insistence on the human spirit to claim life and to claim a sense of fulfilment. so i'm trying to celebrate that in the book, as well, at the same time as acknowledging that it's

it looks like the within london. it looks like the within london. it looks like the within london vote is being influenced by other issues, perhaps more local issues in some ways which have allowed conservatives to hold on in what is after all a remain city where last year the conservatives suffered for being associated with brexit. that was one question, how local worthies local elections or were bigger national issues going to dominate? there is a lwa ys issues going to dominate? there is always a mixture of the two. in london where you have results in places like wandsworth and westminster, very low council tax is, a long—term conservative administration, i think that has brought out the conservative vote in quite a local way. other issues, we have mentioned brexit, but looking at other things like the labour pa rty‘s at other things like the labour party's struggle with the anti—semitism row, posterity, these are national policies which weigh in on the local elections. for everybody voting yesterday, everything that councils do affect you

of london, and gaining in side london. here is a nugget for you. certainly what is true is that in wards which are ethnically diverse, the conservative vote is not going up as much as those which are more white, the opposite is true for labour, why is this case? it comes back to this pattern that liam fox seems keen to deny, but in truth is written all over these results, which is that in areas where there were leave vote, in 2016 and which swung to the conservatives in last year's general election and which tend not to be ethnically diverse which find the conservatives doing relatively well. conversely more ethnically diverse areas which tend to remain areas are areas which tend to remain areas are are where the conservatives are finding life more difficult. one of consequences is finding life more difficult. one of consequences is that a constituency that the conservatives have always found relatively difficult to do well in, that is ethnic minority voters not being made easier by this apparent relationship with brexit,

that is what i wanted to ask you about, you are tech london advocates but there is a country around london. 300,000 employed in the capital, but how important is the capital, but how important is the rest of the uk for maintaining the rest of the uk for maintaining the uk as a tech hub? hugely, and i believe the uk will become a tech nation. we have tech north advocates and tech belfast advocates, two sibling groups. is it different kinds of tech wherever you are? londoners very strong and fintech and deep tech such as a! learning, belfast are very strong in cyber and creative tech with digital production, manchester is very strong media tech. each hub is creating its own unique expertise because of the dna they have. scotla nd because of the dna they have. scotland is massive in terms of gaming, in cambridge you have biotech, there is a lot going on in different parts of the country. let's talk about some of the key issues coming to the fore, gdpr is a massive issue for technology and also as well. i know the government wa nts to also as well. i know the government wants to be at the fore

you are saying best in london for over a0 yea rs saying best in london for over a0 years but worth saying that, when those results happen back in the early 70s, that gave labour about a296 early 70s, that gave labour about a2% of the vote on projected national share and stuart has only got 35. yes. i think it is fair to say the mood here is subdued. this is a group of people who are inside the labour party called progress. they we re labour party called progress. they were described themselves as on the moderate wing of the labour party. jeremy corbyn ‘s supporters were described them as being on the right. they are critical ofjeremy corbyn and that the labour party has taken to the left. they blame the fa ct taken to the left. they blame the fact labour has not taken big strides forwards in these elections onjeremy corbyn. just looking at the election results, yes, i can say they did take their best results since the early 70s here in london but around the country, in towns like nuneaton and derby, they really fell backwards, losing ground to the conservatives. this was an election whe

these councils in london. did the labour party actually say that? labour party actually say that? labour party politician was saying it was the press who put the expectations too high. they get their expectations from somebody and usually that is labour press officer. i did it for many years and thatis officer. i did it for many years and that is what you do. when you are setting the strategy for these elections, you want to try to under promise and overdeliver. you don't wa nt promise and overdeliver. you don't want to do at the other way around. they made a strategic mistake because these councils in london we re always because these councils in london were always going to be very, very difficult to take. historical strong tory places but to be fair to the labour operation, it wasn't an entire disaster. in wandsworth which isa entire disaster. in wandsworth which is a flagship conservative council, they came with about 80 votes of taking it. let's turn to the times. they are dealing with an inquest. he broug
