| 0:32.9 | Immigration, a dominant story in Europe not solved by the EU, |
| 0:41.5 | by the various countries participating in the EU, especially by Britain, |
| 0:47.5 | can the Labour Party so overwhelmingly dominant in the Parliament solve immigration? |
| 0:50.7 | It would appear a struggle. |
| 1:11.5 | Joseph Sternberg of the Wall Street Journal, my colleague, outlines what labor faces, no matter who the prime minister is, and they're about to change again. More tonight.

| 1:16.3 | But I think that there's a large activist class and then also a far-left progressive flank |

| 1:30.2 | or the rest of it. |
| 1:31.4 | So Labor finds itself internally divided in that way, and that makes it very difficult for |
| 1:36.0 | them to try to solve the problem too. |
