other labor leaders like tony blair were more moderate. reporter: one foot in moscow, david, you're absolutely right. we have 23 minutes to go before the polls close here. at that time an exit poll will be released at 10:00 p.m. it is an exit poll in the last two general elections has been pretty darn accurate. we're waiting to see what that shows. then the real results will start coming in here locally before midnight, sometime around 7:00 p.m. on the east coast. we'll get a sense where theresa may, jeremy corbyn, the opposition, stand. back in april when prime minister may called the election she believed she could get a supermajority in parliament and negotiating "brexit" with very strong mandate. today is today. that is long time in politics as we know and last week the polls suggested it would be a lot closer. we shall find out. they need 236 seats here in -- 326 seats here in parliament behind me to get that majority. we'll follow the votes. should be interesting, but will it be as close as the polls suggest? we'll see. if jeremy cor

if those two were able to trust me as secretary of state and tony blair as prime minister, thenit and tony blair as prime minister, then it was possible to get them to begin to understand that they could work with each other, even though they had never exchanged any words with each other directly. so the northern ireland peace process and the good friday agreement process, which was bitterly hard—fought four, took over ten years to achieve, going back tojohn major's day, not just tony blair's heroic efforts, it is like carrying a glass of champagne on a high wire suspended between two mountains, it is a very delicate process, and there has been an unfortunate neglect by this conservative government, both under david cameron and under theresa may, of the crucially important role that number ten has and the british government has in making sure that the northern ireland process keeps moving forward, and ifear now the northern ireland process keeps moving forward, and i fear now that it could take a damaging step backwards. yes, potentially a big price to pay for any deal. just a final

higher share of the vote than tony blair ever did. lost the majority. we can move to reality. what a sound bite. got us to reality. what a sound bite. got us into the mess, will get us out of it. it has been an extraordinary 48 hours. she has apologised to the cabinet, the party, and the only silver lining seems to be the backing from borisjohnson. i would not be getting too comfortable. just a little short of a majority, she has got to try to make this work. she is also trapped. trapped in an alliance, with the dup. going to seek substantial spending. also making changes behind—the—scenes, and seven ministers, i think five of those are strong remainers. this whole thing, centring on breaks it, —— brexit, give me a stronger hand. and even the world mess then, does not do thisjustice. in the context of what the times as saying, it is reality, as not having a majority and those of commerce, some of the cuts that they wanted to push through not going to be introduced. things like the social care changes. in that respect, austerity is going to be over. no political wheel o

it echoes what tony blair said after the 7th ofjuly bombings in london 12 years ago when he said, the rules of the game are changing. she specified a few things, one was there should not any longer be a safe 5 pa ce there should not any longer be a safe space on the internet. but will be highly controversial, after the edward snowden revelations, when people are concerned about encryption and wanted to make sure governments are not spying on them on the internet, naldo governments are saying, we need to make sure there is not a safe space on the internet for extremism to breed. she has also talked about longer sentences for people found guilty of minor terrorism offences, echoing tony blair 12 years ago, trying to step up the seriousness of the punishments given to people who get involved in extremism. daniel sandford, thank you very much, our home affairs correspondent. frank gardner, our security correspondent. three attacks in the uk in about three months. are we looking at any sort of pattern here? what is your assessment? it is starting to look like a concerted campaign by so—c

blair saying it was under tony blair this cladding had gone up in the first place and it was under his government which the rules were changed on inspections and building regulations, transferring responsibility from the fire service to local councils. at that .1 tory mp got up and said we have got to have a calm, nonpartisan debate. i think theresa may realised it had got out of hand and said we will not get anywhere pointing the finger of blame. the difficulty is that until this public enquiry gets up and running there is something of a vacuum and in that vacuum inevitably the political arguments and acrimony begins to intrude. but we are still waiting for thejudge to begins to intrude. but we are still waiting for the judge to be appointed to chair the enquiry and two weeks on we still don't know who thatis two weeks on we still don't know who that is going to be or when he she will be appointed. norman, thank you. there were strong exchanges this morning when survivors of the grenfell tower fire confronted the housing minister on the bbc. residents told alok sharma that authorities

in some ways, he's quite like tony blair. he pleases various wings on the spectrum because he's not a socialist. he was in the bosworth the government? then he left. he doesn't he'sa he's a global capitalist, all those things. you said that with almost... i wish i was 21 again. i never grew up i wish i was 21 again. i never grew up from 21, hate it all. but the problem. that's why we're pleased to see you. i am a capitalist. no shame capitalist. i think he's managed but the good news is he's a total eu believe. and he's saying he doesn't wa nt to believe. and he's saying he doesn't want to see any concessions to anyone who leaves. they tend to forget it's not on our hands. the other thing is, when forget it's not on our hands. the otherthing is, when we forget it's not on our hands. the other thing is, when we thought the neofascists were going to take over france. i never thought the neofascists would. you don't have to talk about the pen do you? —— marine le pen do you? there will be negotiations had greatly beneficial

it's interesting that what sirjohn said this lunchtime echos what two senior figures in tony blair's administration have been saying over the last 24 hours, jonathan powell, mrblair‘s former chief of staff who was very involved in day—to—day negotiations here and peter hain, the northern ireland secretary for mrblair at the time whenever the dup and sinn fein finally struck a deal to go into power—sharing. that got devolution running here in 2007. so the fact that now you have a senior conservative coming out, a former conservative coming out, a former conservative prime minister, alongside former senior figures conservative prime minister, alongside former seniorfigures in the labour government during the peace process, i think it shows that there is a degree of consensus perhaps among people who were involved in the peace process at a senior level from the british government side, that there is going to bea government side, that there is going to be a problem caused by the prospective linkup between the dup and the tories at westminster. the current northern ireland secreta

higher share of the vote than tony blair ever did. lost the majority.

i'm curious, didn't tony blair say something similar to what has to change and when will it change. in 2005 tony blair said the rules of the games are changing and here we are now and the rules are pretty much the same. i think one thing britain needs less of our politicians saying things need changing them failing too. i've lived in london a long time and i think british people are angry about this. they don't think this is normal and it's not just part of living in a major city but we shouldn't accept us at the status quo. british politicians have to really crackdown on this source of terrorism otherwise this will be the future. >> london's mayor was talking about the fact that you just have to push beyond the fear, and this is some sort of new normal is what he said after the manchester of tact. whatever the your thoughts about just becoming comfortable with this. how will it ever change and we have to guard against that ever so carefully in the united states. >> yes you have the guard against it so vigilantly because you begin to normalize these attacks. people say this demos on

the last up to five years under margaret thatcher, tony blair and david cameron, it was fatal error of judgment, not building council houses, making sure people subject to oversight. notjust building, refurbishing? the simple fact, we need to know why there were not sprinklers, coming on automatically and people could not hear the spiral arm. literally, it has been about cutting costs, spending less. that has an effect. if you want decent housing you have got to spend money. and the house fire in 2009 followed calls for it to be demolished. this suggestion, the belief that it was a place where fire could spread?m suggestion, the belief that it was a place where fire could spread? if i had still been mayor of london when that happened i would have been doing something about it. but when tony blair created the mayor of london system, it said the mayor of london system, it said the mayor of london is not going to have any powers on housing. i have managed to persuade the government to change that, the mayor got power, but i lost to boris. i persuaded gordon brown to give £5 million to bu

blair. those are the really difficult issues. —— theresa may. whilst there is a discussion over police cuts, that in the context over whether this attack could have been spotted from afar. the police were there on saturday in eight minutes. in terms of armed officers, numbers are going up and in terms of the intelligence service, they have been given more resources , service, they have been given more resources, but there is this broader debate about if you have a 10% cut in belize, does it mean you have a few eyes and ears on the streets? the government can come back and say, hang on a minute, you canjudge home affairs policy by police numbers, or you can judge home affairs policy by police numbers, or you canjudge it by crime numbers. there was a crime levels in murder rates have gone down, despite the cut in police numbers. if any of you are just joining us, police in the last hour have named two of the three attackers who died just up the road from where i am talking to you from in l

jonathan powell, tony blair's chief of staff, he was central to making the peace happen. this is a bad idea. you don't know where this goes further down the track. the last thing we wa nt down the track. the last thing we want is this peace process to fall apart. peter said the same thing in out apart. peter said the same thing in our newspaper. he talked about civil servants intrinsically involved in the process raising fear and alarm about the damage this could do to the process moving forward. there are genuine concerns now it could be absolutely, in his words, calamitous. the dup say they don't wa nt calamitous. the dup say they don't want a hard brexit, because they don't want a border between northern ireland and the republic. that might prove to be some leverage they can apply with regards to brexit which would please a lot of people. they could do that in all sorts of things, some might please people and others not. now people in northern ireland are wagging the dog of the entire country. it is what the conservatives have said labour will do with scotland. and the

and previously she said enough is enough, one of those phrases, like tony blair, after the death of princess diana, the people's princess, one of those phrases, saying what people want to hear and that's what she did tonight. she looked more relaxed and confident when she said it. what we're talking about, i imagine, going back to something like the old control orders that labour introduced in 2004, i think. control orders that labour introduced in 2004, ithink. beefing up introduced in 2004, ithink. beefing up the tpims to be more like control orders, which restrict people's movements, when you suspect they are at it but can't prove it. how do labour deal with this now, with 24 hours to go? security is one area where theresa may really excels, actually. she's had a lot of criticism about the police cuts. despite the police cuts? when she's delivering the speeches to the nation at downing street i think she really gets to people and her message gets across. i think she excels at it and jeremy corbyn really doesn't. i think she is in the best position for the next two days on the issue of sec

this snap election had the highest turnout since 1997 when tony blair won a landslide victory. it was nearly 70 per cent which was up by two per cent and one million extra peoplejoined the electoral roll since the end of last year. turnout increased more in seats with young people — and labour's vote advanced most in areas of increased turnout. danny savage has been to the constitutency of leeds north west to look at the impact of the youth vote. this constituency had a popular lib dem mp but the student vote here has turned leeds north west to labour. young voters, energised by the mantra and policies ofjeremy corbyn. i think it's great and i'm so corbyn. i think it's great and i'm so grateful to all young people who turned and voted and showed the tories that people matter, that the young matter and they've changed the face of politics in this country for good. many people see his economics don't stack up, that it will cost money in tax. does it bother you? absolutely not. i think tax, for what we get with our tax, you cannot put a price on that. the nhs but we've got is so

he's the biographer of former prime ministers david cameron and tony blair. we thank you so much, sir, for joining us. we really want to hear your take on what is going on. what comes to mind when you think of a biography of theresa may? >> which i plan to be writing. well, this is an extraordinary position here in the uk. i can't think of anything quite like it in peacetime. a prime minister who went to the country seeking a much stronger mandate, many more members of parliament to give her the strength to go to brussels, to fight for a good brexit for britain, and she's got the very opposite of what she wanted. her party, her government, and she herself are much weakened. this is just an extraordinary time in british politics. >> and did anyone see this coming? should she have seen this coming? >> to be honest, you know, it's amazing. when this kind of thing happens, people pop up and say, well, you know, i warned you about it. but the reality is that next to nobody imagined it would be anything else other than a great majority for theresa may. and the only

tony blair refused to take pa rt there. tony blair refused to take part in debates on the route —— and the result of that was there were no debates. the convention was broken in 2010 when gordon brown did agree to ta ke in 2010 when gordon brown did agree to take part. i think he did ok and nick clegg did better. given given that that is now accepted, i think it was very unwise of theresa may to refuse to take part in that key final debate. jeremy corbyn made a brilliant tactical move to say that she —— that he would take part in this, and where were you? if theresa may had been riding high, it would have been fine. but as the public we re have been fine. but as the public were getting worried about her, it simply confirmed fears that she was not willing to submit their programme to serious questioning. we have seen mr corbyn meeting supporters today. can you add knowledge now that you underestimated him ? knowledge now that you underestimated him? and that you now accept that he is firmly in place and firmly establ

the former chief aide to tony blair said it took them years to drag out a deal from the dup, and they got a very good deal out of that. they know it is their moment in the sun and they're going to use it to extract the utmost that they possibly can. brent: so what is that going to look like? what does the dup get for their support? connal: first and foremost, a lot of financial invtments and creasing ofunds frothe u.k., especially the more wealthier taxpayers in london and the south east. also they will get guarantees that they will not be a vote on irish unity, which the dup feels as divisive and unnecessary. but the most important things in terms of the european negotiations is what theup willo and whathey want is for there to be a soft brexit. this is important because this will affect the entire brexit negotiations. they don't want a hard border. they want to ease trade with eu member states. northern ireland needs the situation and they will bring this to bear in those negotiations. brent: connal on these difficult negotiations for theresa may joining us from newcastle, england.

blair captured something about our moment, why is there this disruption at any cost movement? it's because people believe that the systems are rigged if favor of a small group of people who are able to get very rich and make our societies unequal. >> rose: jeremy corbyn wasn't popular in his own party. >> no, he wasn't. a lot of people were expecting the humiliation of jeremy corbyn in the election, and the left could have moved on, replaced him and tried to create more centrist, southeast-wing -- >> rose: tony blair-like labor party. >> and i don't know if gillian agrees, but i think it will be hard to dislodge corbyn at this point. >> it will be if the millennials stay involved. but one of the things students of politics across the western world need to look at when they look at the british experience is what's happening to the millennial vote because i have been going to college in the last years and saying are you political? yeah, we tweet. do you say, do you actually vote? they would be going, no, but we tweet. this time around, the kids actually got mobilized, and there

this is alistair campbell, who used to be tony blair's press officer. explaining why he thinks this idea of the conservatives and the dup going together is not good. this is about the role of the government and the northern ireland peace process. when the peace process is in trouble, as it is at the moment, the british and irish governments are the mediators between the unionists and nationalists how can they be the mediator, when the unionists are being brought to government? they have not thought this through, it is plain with fire. the dup do not see it this way. earlier, i spoke to an irish journalist. i wanted earlier, i spoke to an irish journalist. iwanted his earlier, i spoke to an irish journalist. i wanted his analysis of these issues. dup represent unionism, sinn fein representing nationalism. if these two parties are talking, but one side is also in the british government, the british government cannot be an honest broker. in reality, a strong sense of the power sharing government, collapsing earlier this year, is unlikely to be reinstated f

tony blair on their hands. it away, it really does re-embolden the european equity story. >> it does. that graph, put it in a g5 context. very disappointing. unemployment is much lower in the rest of the g5. that is the issue, plus government spending. will he do it? i hearthe same thing about sarkozy. my french friends were very bullish about sarkozy delivering, but he didn't deliver. i would add in brexit, they could take a brexit angle. strong --s a really lower unemployment, he needs a vibrant export market, which the u.k. is important here and let's hope he is pro-business and introduces reforms. anna: thank you very much. out in great to have you on the program. great to have you on the program. when we come back, we talk more about u.k. politics. that's why i'm in westminster. may tested by the tories. the british premise -- prime minister preparing to face serious members of her own party. westminster with the latest. this is bloomberg. ♪ manus: today the u.k. prime minister faces furious party member

and then imagine this, imagine if after 9/11, tony blair, the prime minister of britain, went off on twitter or somewhere and attacked rudy giuliani, the mayor of new york city, for the way he was handling the terrorist response in new york city. that's just the outrageous thing to think a president or a leader of one country attacking a tiny mayor of another city that's going through a terrorist crisis, that's not something you do, it's not presidential, it's not leadership. >> well, i mean, barry, what do you say to that? what do you think donald trump would be saying right now if tony blair or, you know, the british prime minister decided to take on rudy giuliani in the days after 9/11? >> well, i mean, i think what he was going at was that the mayor of london doesn't believe that, you know, radical islam is a threat. that's what he was going at, you know. was it an appropriate format? you know, i don't know, nor do i want to spend a lot of time thinking about it, to tell you the truth. we've got a lot of things in our country that are problems and that's what he should be focusin

thing john major and tony blair did, which is peace in northern ireland. sorry to interrupt, just watching pictures of her going into church this morning. she needs help from above, i will tell you that. how would you advise her? i don't know, i don't know. what has been exposed, she called this election because she thought labour were weak and she thought she would get a landslide. the election designed to expose labour's wea knesses designed to expose labour's weaknesses has profoundly exposed hers and the country has realised she's not a prime minister. and what's more they have also realised, when i watched your news bulletin, seriously, if this country seriously thinking about going from vista borisjohnson?! thinking about going from vista boris johnson?! i was thinking about going from vista borisjohnson?! i was speaking to a politician in germany yesterday, he said, britain is doing a very good job of presenting itself as... let me finish! as the world's first world failed state. we are becoming a joke. david cameron and his stupid referendum, there

as tony blair's chief of staff, he helped negotiate the good friday peace agreement and he is warning decades of progress could be undone. i don't think it is worth undermining everything we have achieved in northern ireland. there is a reason northern ireland are no longer on the news pages. do we want to put it back? we stand the risk of doing so. arlene foster and theresa may both have much to gain from this friendship. everything going well? yes, thank you. but it is likely to be tested. the british prime minster‘s decision to call the election was, of course, to bolster her hand in the brexit negotiations. so what effect does this outcome have on the government's brexit approach and the all important timetable? our chief correspondent gavin hewitt has been looking at the impact of the election result on the future of the brexit process. theresa may's authority diminished just when the start of brexit negotiations are days away. complex negotiations have suddenly become more challenging. i think it has made it more difficult for whoever is going to be negotiating with the europe

blairand message, and that was what tony blair and alastair campbell brought to the 1997 election campaign, they learned the only way to do it by discipline. and it hasjust gone learned the only way to do it by discipline. and it has just gone to pot. astonishingly bad. we have got one more full day of campaigning to go. do you expect that tomorrow, brexit, brexit, brexit from the conservatives? 11 days before the substantive talks begin on a sleeping. they have done the strong and stable tough —— stuff today and the final message i think will have a lot to do with brexit. the logic makes perfect sense. i think we might look back on the campaign and think that the tories closed in the final few days in quite a clever way andl final few days in quite a clever way and i think that is about the brexit message, motivating former ukip vote rs of message, motivating former ukip voters of that is the key for the tories. david cameron won the last election with 35% of the vote, and if after some wobbling as the polls suggest, there is a large chunk of that 4 million ukip vote, say 2 million, s

labour had the biggest increase in its share of the vote, not since tony blair in 1997, since clement attlee. there was the small issue of world war ii at the time. this time round, labour started from a very low base. its achievement, where kensington in london is now a hotbed of socialism. canterbury, which has been a conservative seat since the 19th century. but why dismiss people based on their age? it is notjust young voters. obviously, there are 40 million people under 25. the problem is that a win is right. 40% of the vote is a huge chunk. the problem is under the first past the post system, that does not necessarily transfer into seats. that is why there is no ukip around any more. the conservatives got a higher proportion than that. they got a higher proportion than margaret thatcher, which won her famous landslide. so the smaller parties collapsed, this is why this has happened. i really want to make a point about the vision. i think this is a repudiation clearly of anything it is of the politics of focus group and message control and public relations and advertising slogans

blair's victories 20—odd years ago. but a majority of 50 would be the best tory performance for a generation since 1987. tory performance for a generation since1987. so they will take that. not long to wait until we find out. thank you. the election has been dominated in recent days by security issues in the aftermath of the terror attacks in london and manchester. today‘s final day of campaigning has seen party leaders return to their core messages — for the conservatives — brexit and the economy andfor labour — the nhs and schools. christian fraser has been looking at each of the main parties manifesto commitments in three key areas — the economy, health and housing. have you made up your mind or do you need a bit of help? let‘s have a fast and furious guide to some of the policies the parties are setting out. we‘ll start with the economy. it‘s always the economy, stupid. maybe not so much this time, though. the conservatives say they‘ll balance the budget by 2025. they are ruling out any increases t

as tony blair's chief of staff, he helped negotiate the good friday peace agreement and he is warning decades of progress could be undone. i don't think it is worth undermining everything we have achieved in northern ireland. there is a reason northern ireland are no longer on the news pages. do we want to put it back? we stand the risk of doing so. arlene foster and theresa may both have much to gain from this friendship. everything going well? yes, thank you. but it is likely to be tested. occur, bbc news, belfast. the british prime minster‘s decision to call the election was, of course, to bolster her hand in the brexit negotiations. so what effect does this outcome have on the government's brexit approach and the all important timetable? our chief correspondent gavin hewitt has been looking at the impact of the election result on the future of the brexit process. theresa may's authority diminished just when the start of brexit negotiations are days away. complex negotiations have suddenly become more challenging. i think it has made it more difficult for whoever is going to be n

tony blair won heard for labour gus graham evans is out. some good news, from the conservatives in scotland, iam going from the conservatives in scotland, i am going to show you three seats they have taken. aberdeenshire west, ster they have taken. aberdeenshire west,ster stirling and berkshire which borders the one they had before this election, you can see these tremendous swings away from these tremendous swings away from the snp to the conservative, 14%, 1196 the snp to the conservative, 14%, 11% and 11%, everything has been up in the air, really since 2015. so to ta ke in the air, really since 2015. so to take any of these seats back needed really solid swings and you can see the kind of work they are doing. one more, i will end with this, edinburgh west, which has been gained by the liberal democrat, who are having a mixed night but a better night in scotland, liberal democrats taking this from the snp in edinburgh west, on 34%, a swing there, of 5.8%, on the back of the results what you can say is the one tory who is having an excell

that is the area that tony blair went into 12 years ago and got himself into trouble in terms of trying to seek if suspects could be detained for three months, and ultimately being defeated by the courts and by parliament. it is a big moment for theresa may, coming out and saying things have to change. that won't be easy, particularly as there is less political consensus in this country than there was around that sort of stuff. you could still campaigning today when the other parties have campaigned, they hope to make political capital out of the attack. the two main parties saying they will not campaign today. jeremy corbyn has been much less in favour of some of the government's counterterrorism strategy than the conservatives were when labour were in power. so i think it is quite a lot of hard thinking ahead for the security establishment about how they deal with that loss of confidence, about how they deal with theresa may's plan going ahead. just a thought, daniel, as well about the threat level. because it was at its highest in the wake of the manchester attack, the bomb attack at

i am not trying any comparisons between 1997 and now or between tony blair and jeremy corbyn except to say that enfield south is back on the radar again. it was safe conservative and goes labour often in landslide votes. it had the conservative majority and is goal david burrows is being replaced. stroud, just pipped to the post. but thirsty, an area of london that is gentrifying with posh housing coming through. it should have been an easy tory poll but labour has outperformed itself. labour gains that see, this key marginal from the conservatives. people remember it as the place where david cameron launched his manifesto when it looked to be more marginal than this time. hamilton west has been taken. starting to see some interesting swings, 9% towards labour. gordon brown's old seat, and other again from the snp. nearly 10%. glasgow north east, snp gain from laboured in 2015, the biggest swing of the election, 39%, labour has overturned that this time round. 13% swing back to labour, an astonishing night in england and scotland with these sorts of seats changing hands. a big story in

blair and david cameron of course theresa may and jeremy has no problem whatsoever in meeting ordinary people up and down the country but also people are drawn to him because of his politics for example we nationalize in the trains really nationalize in energy re nationalizing water we nationalizing the whole mail you know peter so many ordinary put ish families are struggling every single day because of these dreadful costs in for example the train fares and when it comes to gas you know people all the people in britain peter are terrified in the autumn and winter months to turn on their central heating system out of fear they won't be able to pay the bill many of them become ill they go into hospital some of them actually die now what jeremy proposed really shocks a chord with millions upon millions of people in britain and it is so refreshing that we have someone like him someone who is with the ordinary people in britain and all. his foreign policy is so different to the conservatives and two so to previous labor leaders he's made it very clear that on the him under his leadership

in britain you had whistle-blowers dealing with tony blair's dishonest iny joining us with george suburb the iraq war. what is unique about the united states -- i worry about the uniqueness -- is the court system and the investigative journalism when it works, see more hershel, agreeing miller from most does a good judge i notice now -- don't known it got through but the masthead in the "washington post --" probably after trump's inauguration -- democracy dies in darkness. go back and read sinclair lewises' it can happen ear, written never 1930s. it's happening here. >> i think i heard you say earlier that the primary responsibility of asive civil sir van is to expose wrongdoing. is that correct. >> , that. alexander hamilton, by the way, planted that seed in my mind. >> that's anxiouses my question. should that be in the norm or is that an outcome of current times? in other words, shouldn't the primary responsibility be to do good as opposed to looking for wrongdoing? >> well, i take doing good for granted. >> okay. >> i mean, why would you do any task, whether with the got or outside t

blair so they are completely baffled by what has happened a lot of them so they are trying to learn their lessons now what turned out was a lot of people who the labor party never spoke to throughout the election campaign never knocked on their door gave them a leaflet because they thought they would never vote for them on the day they went out vote for jeremy corbett and corbin is saying this is because i offered an end to austerity i offered hope something different and that is the message of the labor party of learn whether it's the right one we don't know we'll have more with politico's tomic when politicking continues. about your sudden passing i phone leaches learnt you worry yourself in taking your last wrong turn. here at us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i. these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each day. but then my feelings started to change you talked about more like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly
