United Kingdom election: Brexit is back

Author

Speaking to Nick Ferrari, he said: "Theresa May's party believes in Brexit and that's the difference between her and Jeremy Corbyn".

Mr Corbyn was challenged about his approach to Brexit and said the United Kingdom would not "necessarily" be poorer as a result of leaving the European Union.

Anand Menon, a professor at King's College London (KCL) who leads the "Britain in a changing Europe" research project, argues that the next five-year parliament, will see MPs pre-occupied with "the implications of one of the most important and hard decisions that Britain has ever taken". She and her party will have five years to flounder with their majority.

Mr Sanders, who sits as an independent in the US Congress, ran against Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination for the US presidency.

"I utterly deplore Donald Trump's decision", he said. By contrast, the Liberal Democrats have promised voters a second referendum on whether to accept a deal with Brussels.

The Labour leader suggested he would sign off on more ships for the navy and extra surveillance aircraft for the air force alongside pledges to boost funding and numbers in the police and armed services.

In a fractious exchange on the UK's Trident nuclear deterrent, the Labour leader was heckled for saying: "People tell me that the most effective use of it is not to use it because it's there".

That was well behind the ruling Conservative Party on 42 per cent and the main opposition Labour Party on 39 per cent. "I hope that we would retain the trade access and I hope also that we will have a Labour government that will be investing in a growing economy in this country and challenging the bad levels of inequality that exist in this country at the same time".

But Mrs May said: "I'm not refusing to take part in debates, because I'm here answering questions from you".

When we went to the room to see if we could talk to him, an admin person didn't want to let us in.

"I think it would be a coalition of chaos that would descend very quickly, and don't underestimate the impact of the markets..." "I think they understand that", he said.

Is Jeremy Corbyn going to get 40 per cent?

The Labour leader pledged action on the decline of industry and the loss of secure jobs, saying that a Corbyn government would create a new national investment bank and a network of regional development banks, along with a national transformation fund.

"In the United States, as in Europe, we don't need more austerity, we've had enough of that".

Listing proposals to pump more resources into education and mental health care, Mr Corbyn said: 'We have to respect the needs of people and challenge all of us to say that if we want to live in a society that genuinely cares for all, we've got to be prepared to deal with issues of inequality and pay for it. "That must be our goal, that must be our mission, and if we stand together we can accomplish that". However, notes Helen Lewis in the same publication, Corbyn's "benevolent twinkly uncle"-style appearance on BBC's The One Show later that day proved that, unlike May, he can at least do "sofa banter". We have already seen an exodus of talent from the parliamentary Party, with both Andy Burnham and Sadiq Khan preferring mayoralties to the Commons, and a punishment vote on 8 June would likely exacerbate this problem, with talented MPs like Clive Lewis predicted to lose their seats.

Match-up polling during the USA primaries show Mr Sanders comfortably beating Donald Trump, though the pair never faced off at an election.
