3:08 pm
brady. i think that was an outlier. i don't think he should be followed by people, be followed by many people, people because there's people not least because there's no obvious candidate replace no obvious candidate to replace mr boris johnson mr sunak with boris johnson having parliament in the having quit parliament in the summer, there's called summer, there's a group called the new conservatives around 30 or are trying find get or so who are trying to find get the back to where they the party back to where they think was in 2019 with that think it was in 2019 with that big landslide . the two main big landslide. the two main co—chairs of that are danny kruger and miriam cates, and earlier i caught up with them on college green. here's what they had to say. well i think firstly, we just want to say that all people have that all the people that have been is absolutely been promoted is absolutely within minister's gift. >> e- e— e got a lot of respect >> we've got a lot of respect for them personally. we're sure they'll they for them personally. we're sure they'ito they for them personally. we're sure they'ito job, they for them personally. we're sure they'ito job, but they for them personally. we're sure they'ito job, but whatey for them personally. we're sure they'ito job, but what we're have to the job, but what we're more about the more concerned about is the direction travel that it direction of travel that it signals party. signals for the for the party. and instead leaning back and instead of leaning back towards of 2019 towards that realignment of 2019 voters, the combination of small c conservatives, people the c conservatives, people from the north, people south, it north, people from the south, it feels going kind feels like going back to kind of 2010, era of centrism, 2010, in an era of centrism, which isn't really what people are crying out for now in the country. >> so i have a great respect for david cameron personally. i worked david cameron personally. i
3:09 pm
worias miriam says, i think and as miriam says, i think he'll do a great job as foreign secretary. the concern that we have the policy have is about the policy direction very direction and something very important happened in 2016. there realignment in our there was a realignment in our politics, reorientate of the politics, a reorientate of the governing of the governing interest of the country towards the people . country towards the people. >> and that we heard that, didn't we, from danny kruger and miriam cates , about their miriam cates, about their concerns about the reshuffle. now, those two don't think i think there will be a change of leadership in the top of the tory party. they merely want to bnng tory party. they merely want to bring back to where bring the party back to where they in 2019. earlier today they were in 2019. earlier today , around 9:30, of course, this new team met around rishi sunak that we heard from him earlier. the pm saying there that let's get back to work. opposite him, of course, was david cameron , of course, was david cameron, the former prime minister who resigned on the step behind me at street in 2016. in at downing street in 2016. in his first role back in 10 his first formal role back in 10 in 10 downing street, he's walked through the barriers here. he went off for lunch at
3:10 pm
the carlton club. they all cheered him in. there's been quite moment. think, quite a big moment. i think, for cameron. he's back. cameron. he knows he's back. lots delighted he's lots of mps are delighted he's back. a grown the back. he's a grown up on the world stage big issues to world stage with big issues to deal with in ukraine and the middle there is middle east. but there is a problem think, for the problem here i think, for the tory they going tory party. how are they going to energise the base? how are they going reverse those they going to reverse those defeats in the by defeats that happened in the by elections earlier this year? if david is the answer. david cameron is the answer. martin what is the question then? >> yeah, and it's fair to say, chris, that if you take the temperature of conservative voters across the telegraph, across gb news, across the daily mail , across across gb news, across the daily mail, across daily express, they are absolutely fury s with this reshuffle and what's been going on. they feel that rishi has sacked off suella against the will of the voters and that poll we saw 75% of conservatives backed suella position talks there of abandoning 2019 voters and going back to the future, the bad old days of centrism. chris you speak to a lot of voters to this doesn't feel like
3:11 pm
what the voters what the electorate and they're the most important people. it doesn't feel want . feel like what they want. >> i've struck , as you may >> i've been struck, as you may have been, martin, by the polling on david cameron is not not all the world appears delighted that he's back. i think in the westminster bubble, ihave think in the westminster bubble, i have to live in is my job as gb news political editor. there's a relief that familiar faces are back that that big figures are back. and in david cameron is a big beast, no question. but i just wonder whether if that's cutting through outside of the bubble that i'm in, i think it isn't looking at the numbers, looking at the gb news emails, i was lucky enough to host nigel farage's and farage's show last night and there lots of frustration there was lots of frustration from why is cameron from people about why is cameron back ? he lost. a remainer, back? he lost. he's a remainer, he's out of touch. he's he's out of touch. he's he's been trying to lobby the government and had go government and had to go very well it? you know, well for him. did it? you know, why he back? it looks like why is he back? it looks like they're finding a new idea that they're finding a new idea that they quite grasp it they can't quite grasp what it is and the concern. is yet. and that's the concern. and think what the mps here and i think what the mps here want from the pm want to hear is more from the pm and from david cameron and more from david cameron
3:12 pm
about turn about how they can help turn this a little this around. there's a little over left to the election over a year left to the election and are behind in the polls. >> and chris, very quickly, tomorrow, supreme court ruling on rwanda now absolutely massive to the point of being pivotal for the entire party's future . for the entire party's future. >> well, that's a pretty big margin. i mean, it's definitely one of the five targets, which rishi sunak set himself at the start of the year to stop the boats. and this decision at 10 am. tomorrow morning by the a.m. tomorrow morning by the supreme court and whether to rule that it's legal to process illegal arrivals here in rwanda is may then now in the cabinet behind me. i do know that the home secretary new home secretary james cleverly, went through the options of what the supreme court might rule. it might might say it's out of order altogether. it might say if tweak the rule, the laws if you tweak the rule, the laws in this country, that will make it work. so there are options . it work. so there are options. i've looked at. what they haven't is how they'll haven't told us is how they'll respond to what the court says. will they go ahead with
3:13 pm
threatening pull out of the threatening to pull out of the european convention of human rights? option, rights? that's a nuclear option, which is which suella braverman is in favour of. don't think james favour of. we don't think james cleverly favour , so it cleverly is in favour, so it will a lot hares running will set a lot of hares running at 10 tomorrow morning. at 10 am. tomorrow morning. watch on gb news pmqs watch it live on gb news pmqs shortly after that. next week. autumn statement and then net migration figures which should show a massive increase in a massive sorry number of illegal arrivals here on government's watch. so a very, very big eight days coming up for gb news and politics. >> yeah, a nice quiet inbox for rishi and his new cabinet. thank you, christopher hope live from downing street. now, as promised, let's get some more on david cameron. it's fair to say he's returned to government yesterday was the biggest shock, but it's proving be but it's proving to be a controversial decision by rishi sunak. let's speak to our political correspondent, olivia utley. but before we get to the reaction to appointment, reaction to his appointment, david cameron has already made his first big decision . olivia, his first big decision. olivia, can you tell us more about that? >> well , he
3:14 pm
can you tell us more about that? >> well, he has indeed, martin it's just been announced that the uk, along with the us, will be putting sanction bans in place on some of hamas leaders, two named leaders. place on some of hamas leaders, two named leaders . these two two named leaders. these two leaders will be subject to travel bans and they will not be able to purchase weapons made in the uk or in the us. they'll also have their assets frozen . also have their assets frozen. any assets in the uk and in the us will be frozen. now this is a bold decision. it has been a long time coming . the us has long time coming. the us has apparently been talking about this for a while now and on his very first full day in office, david cameron has signed off this decision. he is also in the same announcement called again talked about the plight of ordinary gazans and called for a humanity . hungarian pause in humanity. hungarian pause in order to get supplies to gazans and to allow people in gaza to get out before for any more shelling occurs. so his stance is, is what we would expect.
3:15 pm
it's in line with what the prime minister has been saying, humanitarian pause. but ultimately come down hard on hamas and supporting israel to do everything in its power to defend itself . defend itself. >> now, olivia, sounds like tough talking on your first day in the job. very welcome rhetoric, but a lot of these guys are living in qatar . they guys are living in qatar. they are living the life of international playboys. they have huge assets . how likely is have huge assets. how likely is it that the uk government will be effective at being able to reach into foreign countries where we have no we have no jurisdiction , we have no jurisdiction, we have no agreement with i mean, this sounds great, but will it have any teeth? well absolutely. >> it's more a sign of intent than actually going to have a huge impact on on these two hamas leaders. it's to show the world stage , really, that the us world stage, really, that the us and the uk mean business and that they are very serious about doing what what they can to stamp down on hamas. and i think that's the sort of message we'll be expecting to see a lot more
3:16 pm
of in the coming weeks and months. david cameron is there in part because rishi sunak, as we've heard, seems to be kind of realigning towards the centre . realigning towards the centre. he's got rid of suella braverman and he's gone back to the man who led the coalition government with the lib dems thought of generally quite a moderate generally as quite a moderate tory, though of course on on economic he was probably economic issues he was probably further than any further to the right than any conservative prime minister we've since. but the other we've seen since. but the other reason why david cameron is there in that job is because rishi sunak is very keen to fully delegate matters of foreign affairs to his foreign secretary. sometimes it's the case that you have a foreign secretary who essentially has the job in name only. as soon as a big international story breaks and there is serious diplomacy to be done, it ends up being the prime minister who has to drop everything and travel to whichever country is affected. and conducts international relations there in this case,
3:17 pm
rishi sunak is very much hoping that david cameron will be able to sort of own the brief as it were. he has a lot of contacts internationally. he has a reputation. he has sort of heft and gravitas on the world stage because of his six years as prime minister, which he mentioned in his first interview yesterday and his 11 years as conservative leader rishi sunak's hope is that he will be able to delegate those issues to david cameron, leaving him free to concentrate on issues back home. so the fact that david cameron is the one making the statement, making this announcement in his very first day in office and it's not rishi sunak doing, it does suggest that this is the way that that that this is the way that the is moving. the government is moving. i mean, that's all very well . but mean, that's all very well. but rishi sunak obviously has to consider, too, that delegating these responsibilities to his foreign secretary won't work too well if his foreign secretary remains the news story for much longer. at the moment, people are more interested in the fact that david cameron is the foreign secretary than in anything to say. and anything that he has to say. and of course, big, big
3:18 pm
of course, there are big, big questions. not only about david cameron's politics and the direction that rishi sunak is taking the conservative government in before the election, also about the election, but also about the fact an mp. it fact that he is not an mp. it isn't unprecedented to have a great office of state held by a peen great office of state held by a peer, but it is very, very unusual, particularly in the modern age. and already i've been hearing questions while i was in parliament today listening to questions about how on earth the commons will be able to scrutinise what the foreign secretary says when he is not allowed to appear in the house of commons. he has a team of deputies. he will be there answering questions to the foreign affairs select committee. but it is all a little bit of a fudge olivia utley superb as ever, and he makes you wonder they calling him a big beast. >> but it's fair to say he's getting monstered on china, on brexit, on austerity and on lobbying . let's move on now lobbying. let's move on now because labour have greeted david cameron's return by accusing rishi sunak of being
3:19 pm
out of ideas. my observation would be that having david cameron as foreign secretary doesn't solve rishi sunaks problems . problems. >> in fact, it's quite odd to me that rishi sunak has had to look to the past to try to bring back a quote unquote grown up to help get control of the conservative party if rishi sunak was a good enough prime minister, he would be able to get a grip of this. and failed to do so. and he's failed to do so. >> well, man who has >> well, one man who has a unique into the inner unique insight into the inner workings of government is jonathan the jonathan haslam, who's also the former of former director of communications of 10 downing former director of commuandtions of 10 downing former director of commuand i'm; of 10 downing former director of commuand i'm delightedvning former director of commuand i'm delighted to ng former director of commuand i'm delighted to say street. and i'm delighted to say he joins me now . thank you so he joins me now. thank you so much for joining he joins me now. thank you so much forjoining us, he joins me now. thank you so much for joining us, jonathan. they calling him a big beast, but he's being monstered from his own party. and we've heard today from from miriam cates, danny kruger were abandoning the 29 voters were going back to 2010. we're going back to the bad old days. and he's being criticised on his position on brexit because, of course , the brexit because, of course, the first thing did when he lost first thing he did when he lost the was resign and the referendum was resign and clear off. and then the opposition are putting the boot
3:20 pm
in things like austerity , in on things like austerity, china lobbying . do you think china and lobbying. do you think with all that in mind , the with all that in mind, the skeletons he has in his closet? this was a wise appointment after all. good afternoon, martin. >> it's an interesting appointment. >> and one of the things that's achieved of course, is the fact that we're not talking about suella braverman at the moment . suella braverman at the moment. we tomorrow, but in the we might do tomorrow, but in the immediate aftermath of a reshuffle he's put in james cleverly into the home office . cleverly into the home office. >> and that's a good, solid move. and i think when you're looking at david cameron , yes, looking at david cameron, yes, he brings a lot of baggage with him. >> but actually the electorate has relatively small short has a relatively small short memory for some of the issues which are, you know , to an which are, you know, to an extent they're important, but they are westminster bubble stories . and if we look at what stories. and if we look at what mr cleverly has been doing as foreign secretary, well, he's been out of the country doing what foreign secretaries do and therefore david cameron won't be therefore david cameron won't be the story for very much longer. >> and i think the other thing that's interesting and picking
3:21 pm
up the vibes and everything that olivia was talking about and chris hope a moment ago, it is an indication that rishi sunak gets one central point . gets one central point. >> elections are won in the centre ground of the british public. politics and that's where they are . and he must have where they are. and he must have been concerned that there is far too much bordering on extreme right wing ism coming from the conservative party, and that's alienating a lot of people. >> we can talk about red wall seats and what they mean to people , but we should not ignore people, but we should not ignore the shires , the areas where the the shires, the areas where the liberal democrats have made inroads and that is equally a dangen inroads and that is equally a danger. so rishi sunak is looking at things and saying the polls are bad, but we're going to avoid a cataclysm and this is part of a move to do it. >> but jonathan, it wasn't the liberal democrat voters or surrey or the shires at handed bofis surrey or the shires at handed boris johnson, an 80 seat majority. it was the red wall, it was the brexiteers, it was the working classes. it was the sort people actually who are sort of people actually who are entirely suella braverman
3:22 pm
entirely behind suella braverman and feeling despondent of this return to 2010. this return to the bad old days of supporting remain . those people are the remain. those people are the people who put the tories in power. surely returning to the kind of voters you're you're talking about is a recipe for disaster . disaster. >> there's another argument, martin, that says, actually, bofis martin, that says, actually, boris johnson got the move. >> he did, because he was facing a complete and utter no hoper and disaster of a labour leader in jeremy corbyn. and he was also dealing with an issue of situation of being fed up with brexit and it never getting done. now the fact is that since bofis done. now the fact is that since boris johnson took over, yes , of boris johnson took over, yes, of course he's had covid and that was a problem. but actually the conservative government under johnson nothing at all johnson did nothing at all really effective. johnson signed up to a very, very bad agreement in northern ireland because he couldn't be bothered to read the papers told all it was papers that told us all it was fine wasn't fine . so fine until it wasn't fine. so i think there's a degree of realisation, whatever the polls
3:23 pm
are telling you about, depending on your catchment area for the polling , i on your catchment area for the polling, i think you will find that more and more people will be saying actually, are we really satisfied that labour has got a handle on all of its issues and is a competent government potentially in terms of the economy? and do we really want to give them a tony blair style landslide victory or are we going to be a bit more canny about it? and i think if rishi sunak can do anything in a year which will avoid cataclysm for the conservative party, that will be good for the country overall , not least because if overall, not least because if sunak loses and loses in a very big way , i think the natural big way, i think the natural reaction of the conservative party would be to split into factions and most likely it'll head off in a right wing direction and it'll be out of office for much longer than might otherwise be the case. >> jonathan. fascinating parallels between now and when tony blair came in. of course, when you were at the heart of government, you were advising
3:24 pm
the major administration. do you see those parallels bearing see those parallels now bearing strong resonance to the situation in then infighting, warring factions and then facing this huge defeat in the face? and how fearful are you that history is going to repeat itself ? itself? >> well , there are exact parallels. >> you're absolutely right, martin. i think that you've seen a party which is showing a lack of discipline. it is factionalised in a way that john major suffered from his right wing who gave up. there was hubris, assuming that the conservatives would be in power forever . and conservatives would be in power forever. and there's a tiredness that can come forward. and i think one of the things that david cameron will bring to it is , is not necessarily fresh but is, is not necessarily fresh but fresh face and someone who has optimism through his veins and that will be energising for the rest of cabinet. so i think it is changing the game slightly. i wouldn't bet on the conservatives winning the next election, but i think they're in
3:25 pm
a better position as a grown up party than they were 24 hours ago. >> melvin haslam, former director of comms at 10 downing street. absolutely fascinating stuff. thank you so much for joining us on the show today. well, there you go. history could repeat itself. what do you think ? we'll lots more on think? we'll have lots more on that throughout the show. think? we'll have lots more on that it's throughout the show. think? we'll have lots more on that it's a throughout the show. think? we'll have lots more on that it's a huge ghout the show. think? we'll have lots more on that it's a huge one.: the show. think? we'll have lots more on that it's a huge one. and show. think? we'll have lots more on that it's a huge one. and there's and it's a huge one. and there's plenty of coverage, of course, on website , gbnews.com. on our website, gbnews.com. because helped to make it because you've helped to make it the fastest growing national news the country . news website in the country. well done all of you. and well done to all of you. and thank you very much. now moving on, of course, it's a landmark day for . day for. king charles because he's celebrating his 75th birthday today, of course. and earlier there were two gun salutes in his honour. i'm martin daubney on gb news. and this is britain's news channel .

3:30 pm
the king. for king charles, because he is celebrating his 75th birthday . and at lunchtime 75th birthday. and at lunchtime there was a 62 gun salute at the tower of london to mark the king's special day . and let's king's special day. and let's speak now to gb news royal correspondent cameron walker . correspondent cameron walker. cameron, a magnificent. they handed the king spend it. >> yeah. martin pomp and pageantry in the capital, but it was very much business as usual for his majesty, the king. he was here a little earlier in oxfordshire visiting a food distribution centre . there was a distribution centre. there was a crowd outside who gave him a rendition of happy birthday. but the whole reason he was here was because he was launching his very own coronation food project, which he hopes will bndge project, which he hopes will bridge the gap between food waste and food need across the united kingdom , because it's united kingdom, because it's estimated 14 million people across the country are at risk of food insecurity. and king
3:31 pm
charles is very aware of the cost of living and is wanting to do something about it. cost of living and is wanting to do something about it . and do something about it. and that's what he was launching today. so this particular distribution centre is part of a south oxfordshire food and education alliance , which education alliance, which basically distributes food from to 120 community organisations to 120 community organisations to help people in need. but this is a nationwide wide scheme and last year the king made a personal donation as part of a £1 million fund to fund 800 commercial fridges and freezers across the uk. to store all this excess food waste from supermarket pockets. but that's not the only thing he's doing today. martin because he's hotfooting it back to london to be at a reception at buckingham palace, nhs midwives palace, thanking nhs midwives and nurses, celebrating 75 years of the nhs who also are showing a birthday which is also showing a birthday which is also showing a birthday which is also showing a birthday with king charles. this year. and then, as we understand it, to a private understand it, to have a private event , private party celebration
3:32 pm
event, private party celebration with close friends and family. but one noticeable absence, prince harry, he well, his people, as we understand it, said he's not going to be invited. but there are reports this morning that prince harry is going to be making a telephone call to king charles this afternoon. that was unexpected because as we understand it, we didn't realise they had spoken at all really since the queen's funeral in september 2022. prince harry did come for the coronation, but he didn't have time to speak to the king before he flew back to california to spend time with his son, prince archie . so his son, prince archie. so perhaps this is a bit of an olive branch for prince harry to his father on the king's 75th birthday. >> cameron walker , superb. and >> cameron walker, superb. and maybe there's hope of a royal reunion on his birthday, irrespective . happy birthday, irrespective. happy birthday, his majesty. okay there's lots more still to come. now between now and 4:00, including suella braverman might not be the home secretary more, but tomorrow is a hugely significant day for want of a flag ship policies. and of course, that is the

3:36 pm
just denied any access to this heanng just denied any access to this hearing from the press or or the parents of james bulger as well. they said that there's a risk that it information about john venables identity , new identity venables identity, new identity could be released accidentally. and that poses a risk to him . and that poses a risk to him. and that poses a risk to him. and so they're obviously trying to protect it. venables in this situation , denise has spoken to situation, denise has spoken to the mirror newspaper today and she said, i have to have hope. she said that she believes that parole bosses will see what venables is capable of and what he could inflict on society and of course her hope and her belief is that they will rule that he should stay behind bars. >> it's a two day hearing, of course . the father, ralph, was course. the father, ralph, was called possibility of a called the possibility of a release of john venables, a daily nightmare. when can we expect a decision? >> so, today hearing we >> so, yes, today hearing we expect a decision within about 14 days. but there is that very
3:37 pm
real chance that if they rule that he is a no longer a risk to society or a manageable risk , society or a manageable risk, that he could be released and that he could be released and that could be before christmas. >> he's previously been released, of course. and then re—offended in a very shocking manner. in fact , for paedophilic manner. in fact, for paedophilic imagery . manner. in fact, for paedophilic imagery. right. so they can't surely be much of a chance of him . what's what's the mood on him. what's what's the mood on the ground about him being released? >> this is this is a man now middle aged who has been given opportunity after opportunity . opportunity after opportunity. he has been twice convicted of paedophilia of having indecent images of children on his computer and he's been paroled before release, before now, and then brought back to serve the rest of that sentence and the new conviction he's currently beenin new conviction he's currently been in since 2017. so he spent six years behind bars. he's absolutely desperate now to get
3:38 pm
out, to get parole before these new laws come into effect, which would give ministers power to overrule the parole board and keep offenders like that means life. >> exactly. and that was in the king's speech. and that brings me on to my next point, because another thing that was in the king's speech was changing the lucy the rights lucy letby rule about the rights of victims to face the music in the dock. and a lot of people, ray, will be calling for a change of the parole rules. they would think it's a victim's right to read out an impact statement to somebody like john john venables so they can have closure. so they can their closure. so they can have their moment. how how, how how can a prevailing a mood do you think thatis? prevailing a mood do you think that is? because at moment that is? because at the moment a lot are looking at lot of people are looking at this in particular this case in particular and thinking system set up thinking we have a system set up to protect the victims, the perpetrators crime and perpetrators of crime and not the mean, we always want to add >> i mean, we always want to add balance that we balance to every story that we cover gb news, was looking cover on gb news, i was looking through comments on social media, on gb news. i was media, on on gb news. i was trying to find somebody who was in favour of venables being
3:39 pm
released . i found one person who released. i found one person who said, should he, he must have served his time by now. but that was about as far as it went. you know, the 99.9% of people that i could find on social media were saying that , you know, there's a saying that, you know, there's a good argument for him to stay behind bars. however, other people, i'm sure , would argue in people, i'm sure, would argue in his representatives will be arguing that he , you know, has arguing that he, you know, has served his time and he should be given an opportunity to prove that he's been rehabilitated . that he's been rehabilitated. >> okay. it's a it's a case i think the nation will will have its eyes on. and it's just one that's just perpetually captivating because of the true tragedy . do we believe in tragedy. do we believe in redemption? i think that's the thing. believe that people thing. do we believe that people have the right to a life? i guess central law and guess that is central to law and order. however for the tories , order. however for the tories, talk tough on crime. they talk about life means life. they talk about life means life. they talk about the sentence as being properly imposed . but surely in properly imposed. but surely in this case, every so often a case like this comes along that captures the attention of the
3:40 pm
entire public. >> that's what happened back in 1993 when this murder took place . yes, i remember watching it as a teenager. there are, of course , other horrific murders and their killer, the killers involved in that, get , you know, involved in that, get, you know, do get released or or get treated slightly differently because there isn't that public attention. and so some people might argue that venables is not being treated fairly because there's so much media scrutiny. he's being treated more harshly than other than other killers. others would disagree, obviously. >> okay, ray, listen, thanks for that comprehensive update . thank that comprehensive update. thank you much. you very much. >> now , moving on, esther mcvey >> now, moving on, esther mcvey has been given unofficial title of minister of common sense and as i'm about to tell you, she's going to have her hands rather full. >> i'm martin daubney on gb news. and this is britain's news channel

3:46 pm
well no, i mean, i normally i normally say no , but, you know, normally say no, but, you know, a bit more thoughtful about it this year . a bit more thoughtful about it this year. yeah oh, god, that's short notice . well, to be short notice. well, to be honest, i'm actually off fishing next week, so it's a little bit. a little bit tricky in terms of the dates. but but yeah . how the dates. but but yeah. how much ? good lord. well, i'll see much? good lord. well, i'll see you in the . jungle you in the. jungle >> well, i completely enjoyed that. entirely authentic call that. entirely authentic call that wasn't at all staged . but that wasn't at all staged. but look, nigel is a master at stoking the fire, and that includes annoying his critics . includes annoying his critics. and of course, we're seeing already a number of luvvies and leftists threatening to ban the show . so they won't they will show. so they won't they will tune in because love him or hate him, he's a marmite figure. tune in because love him or hate him, he's a marmite figure . he's him, he's a marmite figure. he's great box office. remember matt
3:47 pm
hancock, his enemies delighted in making him eat everything vile under the sun , from vile under the sun, from kangaroo testicles to grubs to sphincters . they'll do the same sphincters. they'll do the same to nigel. they will try and inflict pain upon him. and my prediction is, knowing him well, he will mop it all up with good grace. he'll be dogged , he'll grace. he'll be dogged, he'll woo them, he'll charm them . and woo them, he'll charm them. and pretty soon i think he'll end up turning a rumble in the jungle into a huge charm offensive . into a huge charm offensive. i've seen him do it in real life, and i know he can do it on telly. we spoke to harry redknapp on friday on this show. harry knows a thing or two about little flutter . he thinks nigel little flutter. he thinks nigel is worth a punt too. winner. he's currently 7 to 1 with the bookies. i think it's worth a cheeky tenner . bookies. i think it's worth a cheeky tenner. i think it is worth a cheeky tenner. and isn't it funny how the kind of people who say cancel culture isn't real are now going to try and cancel nigel not watching him cancel nigel by not watching him now he says that he's gone because his diary is clear this
3:48 pm
time. because there are no political campaign is coming. there's no general election then there's no us presidential election at the moment. so politically his diary is clear. but some people are saying maybe he should be back in blighty after all. a lot of people would love him to sweep in and save the tory party. him or boris johnson. at any rate , maybe he johnson. at any rate, maybe he should be back here sorting that mess. but i think he's allowed to watch all this from down unden to watch all this from down under. he's allowed to watch the tories fight like rats in a sack. and no doubt here we get a few rats in a sack of his own when they start pouring them on top of his head in a perspex box when he's down under. and also , when he's down under. and also, i think, a hefty fee that he got had a lot to do with it. and also if politics is celebrity for ugly people, i'm not saying nigel is an ugly person. what i'm saying is celebrity status is great for political careers, particularly among young voters who still are the least likely to vote . the tiktok generation.
3:49 pm
to vote. the tiktok generation. they'll see all of this. and it's grotesque glory. and it's x rated tawdriness as the grubs fall onto his head , they'll see fall onto his head, they'll see him and think, actually, this bloke's a good sport. so i think it's canny for his political career. i think it's canny for his celebrity profile and the two fold into each other . and if two fold into each other. and if he does want to be some saviour of the tory party or indeed an alternative political movement , alternative political movement, but i think this can only help. but what do you think ? let me but what do you think? let me know. vaiews@gbnews.com because a lot of people have been quite critical. they think this isn't the sort of thing a serious political person should be doing. remember, george galloway? yeah, when kind of galloway? yeah, when he kind of got on hands and knees got down on his hands and knees and to a and and pretended to be a cat and drank the milk images that haunted him forever. but i don't think nigel would do anything as silly as that. i think he knows how play the game and i think how to play the game and i think he's got a good chance of winning it. let know what you winning it. let me know what you think. vaiews@gbnews.com. now
3:50 pm
moving on because one of rishi sunaks most eye catching appointments was esther mcvey as minister of state. she's been given the unofficial title of minister for common sense. estas husband philip davis, who is also a tory mp and of course a gb news presenter, has backed her to make a big impact, to make the job her own, basically. >> i mean, it's a new job and so it's up to her to put her stamp on it and one thing that anyone knows about esther, she'll certainly she'll certainly put a stamp on it. and so but i think, you know, the idea will be that she'll to work with she'll be able to work with government departments to try and some common and bring forward some common sense and no doubt sense measures. and no doubt there'll role for there'll always be a role for somebody in cabinet office somebody in the cabinet office to ideas that are to squash any ideas that are coming through that are not sensible and common sense. i think it's a the cabinet office has that role to try and promote good things and squash bad things . things. >> now, by coincidence , a day >> now, by coincidence, a day after esther mcvey was given her
3:51 pm
anti—woke brief, three stories broke that showed just how the world has changed. the first one is this a charity that helps women who are suffering from endometriosis? that's a condition of the womb that only women get has been criticised after appointing a trans woman, yet that's a biological man as its chief executive. now you can say that this is just wokeism gone mad, but a central part of this war on woke, in my opinion is that this kind of thing shouldn't be allowed to happen. how on earth can a biological man hope to understand and the physical and emotional and hormonal plight of a condition such as that that only affects women because women only have wombs despite what the pc bngade wombs despite what the pc brigade say ? this is a serious brigade say? this is a serious issue and surely appointing a biological male to a charity like that is an utter outrage . like that is an utter outrage. that's a serious thing that needs to be taken on, because
3:52 pm
despite what people say, you know , that is not a biological know, that is not a biological woman. never can be. that's my opinion. some will disagree , of opinion. some will disagree, of course, but that's the point of this appointment. so that's something that esther mcvey really could get her teeth into because the equality legislation we heard ben habib talked about so well is now centrally embedded in every public institution in the nhs . the institution in the nhs. the police service, the fire service, academia, uni diversities, ngos , charities and diversities, ngos, charities and so we need to just make sure that that is tackled next. coach yearis that that is tackled next. coach year is affected because a female led marvel film has had the worst ever opening weekend from the hugely successful movie chain and this is because people are sick of having superhero franchises, which used to be about hugely muscular men . about hugely muscular men. saving the planet is now being turned into having political correctness and gender politics rammed down our throats and people are voting with their wallets . now, the next one is
3:53 pm
wallets. now, the next one is this the national trust has also been accused of going too woke after releasing a charity calendar that excludes both christmas and easter. but it does celebrate ramadan. the national trust used to be the bastion of british sense, now has been taken over by wokery esther, you have a very, very busy diary now, a day after rishi sunak shock cabinet reshuffle, plenty of tory mps have got the knives out for the prime minister. the right of the party is angry that suella braverman has been sacked while the return of david cameron is proving to be very , very proving to be very, very controversial. now i want to hear your thoughts on this. a lot of tory mps, ministers jacob rees—mogg, lord frost, lot of tory mps, ministers jacob rees—mogg, lord frost , they're rees—mogg, lord frost, they're drawing the knives out. they're very upset about what they call this back to the future. let me know what you think. vaiews@gbnews.com. i'm martin daubney on gb news. this is britain's news channel . britain's news channel. >> hello very good day to you.

impossible to comprehend the pain and loss that innocent palestinians are enduring . we palestinians are enduring. we are focussed on getting life saving aid to those in need in gaza. >> well, let's bring you news now from yorkshire, where road closures are in place around the city of leeds after a report of an incident involving a crane. police are saying there was nobody on the crane on riverside way in the city, but the force has restricted access to the area with nearby roads impacted several buildings have also been evacuated as a precaution. we'll be keeping you up to date on that throughout the rest of the day here on gb news. now, his majesty king charles is marking his 75th birthday today and a 62 gun salute has fired at the tower of london to mark his 75th birthday as part of those celebrations, king charles has launched the coronation food project in oxfordshire, aiming

4:07 pm
minister is facing a backlash from mps on the right of the party after he sensationally sacked suella braverman. well, let's speak now to our political correspondent, katherine forster. catherine they're queuing up to put the boot in. andrea jenkyns enough is enough time for rishi to go . miriam time for rishi to go. miriam cates a abandoning 2019 voters. jacob rees—mogg suella was sacked for being right. lord frost blasted rishi on just about everything. the question is, where does this go next? are we heading towards a vote of no confidence or is it just more rats in a sack? as usual, in if you're asking me if i think really the conservative are going to take out yet another prime minister before the general election , i would say no i >> -- >> but if you'd asked me before if david cameron became foreign secretary, if david cameron was going to walk up the street yesterday, i would also have said no . so certainly we know
4:08 pm
said no. so certainly we know rishi sunak had been criticised by many people over the last year or so for not being bold enough, for being cautious, for playing it safe . yesterday he playing it safe. yesterday he stopped doing that. he sacked suella braverman and he brought in david cameron . there's plenty in david cameron. there's plenty of one nation tories very, very happy indeed. but the right of the party are not happy about these moves at all and they are making their voices heard. so the new conservatives group that you mentioned, that's a group of a couple of dozen conservative mps who came in in 2009, 19. mps who came in in 2009,19. they very much came in on the bofis they very much came in on the boris johnson wave and they felt that suella braverman , as many that suella braverman, as many people do in the conservative party and elsewhere , spoke for party and elsewhere, spoke for millions of people around the country that she talked in a way that resonated with them , that that resonated with them, that she said it how it was and that it was a big mistake to get rid of her, that also concerned by bringing david cameron back.
4:09 pm
they think that's going back to the past , they think that's going back to the past, back to a consensus of about ten, ten years, years or so ago. so our political editor, christopher hope spoke to two of the group mirror , kate and danny the group mirror, kate and danny kruger, a little bit earlier. let's have a look back at what they had to say . well, i think they had to say. well, i think firstly, we just want to say that all the people that have been promoted, it's absolutely within the prime minister's gift. got a lot of respect gift. we've got a lot of respect for sure for them personally. we're sure they'll give everything they have but what we're have to the job. but what we're more about the more concerned about is the direction travel it direction of travel that it signals for party. signals for the for the party. and instead leaning back and instead of leaning back towards 2019 towards that realignment of 2019 voters, of small voters, the combination of small c conservatives, people from the north, people from the south, it feels like going to kind of feels like going back to kind of 2010 in an era of centrism, which really what people which isn't really what people are for now in the are crying out for now in the country. >> so i a great respect for >> so i have a great respect for david cameron personally. i worked for him many years ago and i think and as miriam says, i think he'll do a great job foreign he'll do a great job as foreign secretary concern that we secretary the concern that we have policy have is about the policy direction and something very important happened in 2016. there in our there was a realignment in our politics, re—orientate of the
4:10 pm
politics, a re—orientate of the governing of the governing interest of the country towards the people and towards their values and attitude . and we have an attitude. and we have an obligation, i think , obligation, i think, particularly those of us elected in 2019, which was the great statement of support the statement of support for the realignment new realignment for this new politics. i think we have an obugafion politics. i think we have an obligation deliver for those obligation to deliver for those people. amazingly , what people. and amazingly, what happenedin people. and amazingly, what happened in 2019 is that we managed to demonstrate real managed to demonstrate a real break the past of our own break with the past of our own party and government. and i don't want to criticise what went before. there some went on before. there were some good that did in good things that david did in government, the government, but really the country we country wanted change and we offered change in 2019 and offered that change in 2019 and i think we still have to deliver it. and i still think that's what the country are expecting from there you have it. from us. so there you have it. >> feeling that suella braverman getting rid of her was the wrong call and also bringing back the former prime minister, david cameron to and as regards david cameron, it's easy to see why he rishi sunak thought it was a goodideain rishi sunak thought it was a good idea in that on the world stage . george, you know, he's stage. george, you know, he's very well respected and he's
4:11 pm
well known. rishi sunak is hoping that he can pretty much give over the foreign affairs to david cameron and he will deal with it. he's already spoken to anthony blinken, who's us counterpart. there's us and uk sanctions on hamas. sorry yes. been announced today. sanctions on hamas. sorry yes. been announced today . so yeah, been announced today. so yeah, great. on the world stage . but great. on the world stage. but of course, what does it say ? say of course, what does it say? say that rishi sunak couldn't find anybody in the house of commons or even in the existing house of lords to do that job, that he didn't think anybody was good enough. that was up to it. and also, of course, he spent months talking about change, saying he was the candidate, was the change candidate, basically criticising the 30 years that went before , during years that went before, during which david cameron was prime minister for six and opposition leader for another few as well. and then of course, there's the questions about the greensill, about the lobbying . david about the lobbying. david cameron batted that away yesterday and also about his
4:12 pm
position on china. so ian duncan smith has come out and said that he thinks that's a conflict. so certainly difficulties , not certainly difficulties, not least, of course, the fact that he's now lord cameron, he cannot sit in the house of commons, he can't be questioned by mps in the house of commons. so there's certainly an issue of accountability and people saying, well, we've got an unelected prime minister in rishi sunak . unelected prime minister in rishi sunak. he wasn't unelected prime minister in rishi sunak . he wasn't elected rishi sunak. he wasn't elected by the public. he wasn't elected by the public. he wasn't elected by the public. he wasn't elected by the membership. and now we've got an unelected foreign secretary as well. so not without the problems bringing david cameron back. >> catherine, i spoke earlier with jonathan haslam, who was a former downing street director of communications for the john major regime , and he said there major regime, and he said there are strong vibes, strong parallels between where we are now and where we are at those end of days. we have a government that feels tired out ofideas government that feels tired out of ideas , is looking in the rear
4:13 pm
of ideas, is looking in the rear view mirror for inspiration , view mirror for inspiration, action in infighting still over europe because of cameron of course backed remain and he cleared off as soon as he lost the referendum and does it feel like that down on the ground? it just feels like a party that's ran out of ideas . they're ran out of ideas. they're fighting themselves to death. and it feels to many people, certainly people who feel dismayed about the sacking of suella braverman , who they felt suella braverman, who they felt represented all very straight talking, common sense voters who seem to be swept away by this latest reshuffle. it feels like a party that's just ran out of ideas. >> well, certainly having to go back go back to somebody who left office some seven years ago, having called a referendum that he expected to win, that they explicitly forbade civil servants for planning what would happenin servants for planning what would happen in the event that the uk voted to leave . they didn't
4:14 pm
voted to leave. they didn't think it would happen and said they didn't want it to leak . they didn't want it to leak. that's what craig oliver told me not long after the vote. quite astonishing really. and of course david cameron called that referendum, said that he would, you know, stick with the result and then basically resign that morning and was off. so certainly , obviously it would certainly, obviously it would have been preferable to have had somebody internal, somebody existing. and it will feed in to the arguments that they're out of ideas. and of course, labour leader feeds right into their hands, doesn't it, saying look, they said they were the they said they were about the change. look, just change. look, they're just bringing that's been bringing you the guy that's been in over 18 years, they in charge over 18 years, they would say of failure. it's very, very difficult . very difficult. >> st catherine tomorrow another massive, massive moment in an in—tray that's already jam packed for rishi sunak and that is this rwanda ruling at the supreme court. and this is absolutely fundamentally
4:15 pm
pivotal, isn't it, james cleverly has already come out and said, i will stop the boats in their entirety. big words , in their entirety. big words, beanng in their entirety. big words, bearing in mind 615 came over on remembrance sunday. talismanic in its failure. how vital is tomorrow's ruling towards the future, which is already clouded and yes, tomorrow is an absolutely huge moment, isn't it? >> we've been waiting for a very long time. the government's plan to send people on a one way ticket to rwanda that was to act as a deterrent. it's been going back and forth with the courts for what feels like forever. tomorrow, shortly after 10:00, we will get the ruling. now they don't know how it's going to go. it's possible that it will be a flat no, you can't send people to rwanda or yes, you can. i think possibly more likely as it will be somewhere between been the two. but i think what we can certainly say is that if suella braverman had still been home secretary tomorrow row and the
4:16 pm
judgement goes against the government and they're told that categorically rwanda is not going to happen, then at that point suella braverman would have been calling for the united kingdom to withdraw from the european convention of human rights. now james cleverly has come in as the new home secretary . he yes, he said he's secretary. he yes, he said he's going to stop the boats, the crossings are down somewhat , but crossings are down somewhat, but they're nowhere near to stopping them, are they? but he's made it clear previously that he doesn't think leaving the echr is the right answer. and rishi sunak has made similar noises. so what will be the government's plan? and also bear in mind we haven't yet heard from suella braverman. she said it had been the honour of her life to serve as home secretary. she said she would have more to say in due course . have more to say in due course. so i think that's rather ominous for rishi sunak and i would think it highly likely that after the judgement tomorrow we might hear from suella braverman and get her thoughts and her
4:17 pm
resignation speech or whatever when she puts out a release potentially quite explosive for rishi sunak. >> okay. katherine forster live from downing street. thank you very much. i think a lot of people there are waiting for suella to speak out. they want to going bounce to see how she's going to bounce back feel she's back because they feel she's been betrayed. she's been wronged. great, great many been betrayed. she's been wronge feel great, great many been betrayed. she's been wronge feel thatzat, great many been betrayed. she's been wronge feel that onegreat many been betrayed. she's been wronge feel that one of at many been betrayed. she's been wronge feel that one of the1any been betrayed. she's been wronge feel that one of the most people feel that one of the most common people in the common sense people in the cabinet been axed and they cabinet has been axed and they feel quite upset about that. let us know what you think, gbviews@gbnews.com now moving on labour have greeted david cameron's return by accusing rishi sunak of being out of ideas , as my observation would ideas, as my observation would be that having david cameron as foreign secretary doesn't solve rishi sunaks problems. >> in fact, it's quite odd to me that rishi sunak has had to look to the past to try to bring back a quote unquote grown up to help get control of the conservative party. if rishi sunak was a good enough prime minister, he would be able get a grip of this. be able to get a grip of this. and do so.
4:18 pm
and he's failed to do so. >> now, one of the main reasons for the tories general election win 2019, course, win in 2019, of course, was their the wall . their success in the red wall. jonathan gullis is the first ever conservative mp for stoke on trent north. we went there earlier to ask voters whether they would back the tories at they would back the tories at the next general election . the next general election. >> rishi sunak. i don't think so . i am . i don't know , maybe. labour >> it was a surprise. i didn't expect it at all. but i'm confident that he's a very experienced and i think he'll do a good job. i think he will. yeah, i'm sure he will. conservative always have . conservative always have. >> and i was fortunate enough to be the mep for the west midlands. stoke on trent is a place i know very well and if i know the people there, which i do, i spend lot of time there do, i spend a lot of time there talking to them and campaigning. they defiantly, strongly they were defiantly, strongly brexit, brexit region brexit, the most brexit region of united kingdom. of the entire united kingdom. i'm sure there'll be lots of
4:19 pm
voters there very, very voters there feeling very, very hurt by what's happened. getting cameron back suella braverman cameron back in suella braverman another big brexit beast being chomped out. no doubt they will have lots to say come next have lots to say come the next general election . we'll have general election. we'll have lots that story at 5:00. lots more on that story at 5:00. and there's plenty of coverage on our website. gbnews.com and you've helped to make that the fastest growing national news website in the country. so thank you very to each and every you very much to each and every one of you. now, moving on, justin welby , the archbishop of justin welby, the archbishop of wokery , is at it again. justin welby, the archbishop of wokery , is at it again . yes, the wokery, is at it again. yes, the archbishop of canterbury has said there must be a ceasefire in the israel—hamas war. i'm martin daubney on gb news and we are britain's news
4:20 pm
4:21 pm
4:22 pm
4:23 pm
monday to thursdays from six till 930 . till 930. >> welcome back . it's 423. >> welcome back. it's 423. you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news. now, viewers on gb news can see heavy motorway traffic, but in a few minutes i'll ask could these scenes soon be a thing of the past? because there seems to be a war on the motorist. so you've been getting in touch throughout the show as you always do. thank you so much. this is your show and keep going . let's and you keep us going. let's dive inbox . lots of you dive into my inbox. lots of you been getting in touch with your thoughts on the tories. of course. della says this. we've got the two main political parties who are probably attract most votes putting party before country and both are divided and
4:24 pm
lashing out at each other for being political, for political gain. exactly right . they are gain. exactly right. they are fighting like rats in a sack, sandy adds this i won't be voting for the tory party ever time. i think that i might and that tactically i should . or that tactically i should. or i see or hear. rishi sunak and immediately change my mind. sadly, a lot of people have been echoing that, especially after suella braverman was sacked. they don't see a party that stands for the values they voted for in 2019 and mark's been in touch as well , he for in 2019 and mark's been in touch as well, he said. sunak has it wrong and if his strategy is one to move the party to the middle ground, it is misdirected . the major issues boats and walls are always best fielded by people that backed for britain and people like boris interest in mark. a lot of people are talking about the return of bofis talking about the return of boris , not david cameron or the boris, not david cameron or the return of nigel farage. but at the moment he's having a rumble
4:25 pm
in the jungle down under. now moving on, justin welby did his best to scupper the government's rwanda plan, and now the archbishop of canterbury has piped up again. welby. has called for a ceasefire, this time in the middle east. he say civilian deaths and what he called the humanitarian catastrophe in the gaza strip cannot be morally justified . cannot be morally justified. well, to get reaction to this, i'm now joined by dr. gavin ashenden , who is joining us now. ashenden, who is joining us now. hello there . great to have you hello there. great to have you on the show. once again. justin welby, he's always got a thing or two to say about issues that seem to sit suit. his political agenda. but this time , as well agenda. but this time, as well as calling for a ceasefire, which is the position of the labour party, he's having a thinly veiled pop at suella braverman by calling out hateful voices, stoking prejudice. is this really befitting of a man of his stature . of his stature. >> it might possibly be if he
4:26 pm
was right, but he couldn't be more wrong. the difficulty is that when it comes to choosing between israel and palestine , between israel and palestine, it's very clear that if the jews were to lay down their arms and have a ceasefire, there'll be genocide. if the palestinians were to lay down their arms, there'd be peace. the problem is that the hate comes from the palestine aliens who want genocide . it's very difficult to genocide. it's very difficult to criticise a people who simply want to defend themselves against being wiped out. if the archbishop of canterbury thinks that a ceasefire is a good thing because it saves civilian casualties, the people he should be addressing are not the israeli government but hamas. it's hamas who are forcing civilian casualties. it's hamas who have hidden their headquarters behind hospitals, who've shot their citizens rather than allow them to leave by directing his call to the israelis. the archbishop is making a very serious category error, and he should know better. >> and gavin , forgive me for not
4:27 pm
>> and gavin, forgive me for not seeing it. perhaps i missed it. but did justin welby call out . but did justin welby call out. the atrocious hamas terrorist attack on israel . attack on israel. >> i haven't heard him do it. the trouble is that it's not just a matter of being short of facts mean you may have seen people being interviewed as they protested on behalf of hamas singing from the river to the sea. and when you say which river, they have no idea. some of them think realised of them think they've realised the is a mediterranean. they the sea is a mediterranean. they don't know what they're talking about. the level of disinformation and the lack of historical awareness is enormous, but you would expect the archbishop be able to do the archbishop to be able to do better that his grasp of better than that in his grasp of history and the facts. but he appears simply to a left appears simply to have a left wing reflex political reaction , wing reflex political reaction, which he imposes without much information or thought. and i think the country needs better from him now. >> gavin, of course, some may say no, very fair as a major religious leader , he's allowed religious leader, he's allowed to speak out on such matters . he
4:28 pm
to speak out on such matters. he addressed the church of england's general synod on monday , saying the bloodshed monday, saying the bloodshed must cease. many many everybody would agree the bloodshed should cease cease. however, it does appear that he's taking sides . appear that he's taking sides. if you are entitled to take sides, no one requires a kind of standard because there is good and evil in this world. >> there are some people who behave better than others. difficulty is that he appears to be taking he appears to be taking sides without having enough edition to do enough information edition to do it. it's very unless you it. so it's very unless you unless you're committed to an islamic view of the world or to a far left view of the world, the jews have a right to live in their own country and what they've been, although they're not without fault. and you can accuse settlers of overreacting. and sure they done. and and i'm sure they have done. and the zionism is a is a questionable political theory that to be held account that ought to be held to account . of course it should. but nonetheless , yes, you can't it nonetheless, yes, you can't it doesn't seem me it's possible
4:29 pm
doesn't seem to me it's possible to sue, support a political movement that is committed to genocide, particularly genocide of the jews. when we've just been celebrating remembrance sunday, my father was a naval naval officer in the north sea. he fought in a battle in which the jews were the primary casualties . how the jews were the primary casualties. how is it the jews were the primary casualties . how is it possible casualties. how is it possible to sue to adopt a political view thatis to sue to adopt a political view that is relaxed about the extermination of the jews, a genocide of a whole people? it's not morally competent . not morally competent. >> yeah. and again , forgive me >> yeah. and again, forgive me if i missed it, but does does does does mr welby speak out about the slaughter of christians that we're seeing throughout the muslim parts of the world? does he speak out on that or does he only speak out on things that won't get him in hot water? >> well, the difficulty is that i haven't heard him do that, but it's not it's not just mr welby. there have been muslim atrocities in syria, in in myanmar . and at no point did the
4:30 pm
myanmar. and at no point did the muslim world come together and complain about the hundreds of thousands of muslims who were killed in these events, though they might well have done and had reason to, they had every reason to, but they unhed had every reason to, but they united by a hatred of the jews and so this isn't this isn't a sort of level of international, national muslim solidarity that it presents itself as being because otherwise we'd have had western capital streets stopped many times, times in the past as there have been dreadful things done to a number of muslims, including the muslims in china. this this appears to be a hate campaign campaign. suella braverman is quite right. directed primarily against the jews. and you would hope that the archbishop of canterbury would have enough political and spiritual to be able to spiritual nous to be able to tell that and be be careful in the way in which he chooses sides. in this particular case. >> why do you think that justin welby and the church of england seems to consistently take the woke position on everything from climate change to international wars ? what's driving it? is it
4:31 pm
wars? what's driving it? is it just another result of an institution just riddled with political correctness like the nhs, like the police force ? or nhs, like the police force? or is it something else? is it trying to reach to a younger flock , or is it a for search a flock, or is it a for search a new purpose? what's driving it ? new purpose? what's driving it? >> well, that's a really very good question, and it's one that many of us have been thinking about it for 20 years or so. and i'm sure it's fairly complex, but at the very least, i think christianity is about saving souls. if you're not very good with souls or with the holy spirit , then you tend to go for spirit, then you tend to go for politics instead. and i think this is this this is people reaching out for political solutions because because they're illiterate when it comes to the language of the church itself, which is about salvation and the saving of souls and the putting right. and the saving of souls and the putti|god, right. and the saving of souls and the putti|god, it's right. and the saving of souls and the putti|god, it's easier right. and the saving of souls and the putti|god, it's easier to ght. and the saving of souls and the putti|god, it's easier to do. with god, it's easier to do politics if you're not very good at that stuff. >> gavin ashenden, the >> okay. dr. gavin ashenden, the queen's former chaplain, thank you joining on news. you forjoining us on gb news. superb. now there's lots more still to come between now and
4:32 pm
5:00, the female 5:00, i've discussed the female weather presenter has weather presenter who has criticised what she says is the sexist treatment of women in the industry by calling them weather girls . but industry by calling them weather girls. but first, here's your latest news headlines with polly middlehurst . let's just start middlehurst. let's just start with some breaking . news now. with some breaking. news now. >> a man has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter following the death of nottingham panthers player adam johnson. the player was seriously injured during a game against sheffield steelers and later died as at a hospital. as a result of a fatal neck injury. more on that as we get it right now in other headlines today, the public believes the sacking of former home secretary suella braverman was the right thing to do. but there unsure about bringing david cameron back into government. opinion pollsters . government. opinion pollsters. ipsos found 70% of the public thought rishi sunak had made the
4:33 pm
right call in removing the home secretary, but only around a third of voters said lord cameron's appointment as foreign secretary was the right thing to do . in other breaking news this do. in other breaking news this houn do. in other breaking news this hour, the us president joe biden says he believes hostage release is will happen soon for israel. speaking at the white house earlier, joe biden said, hang in there, we're coming. meanwhile there, we're coming. meanwhile the uk has announced sanctions for against four hamas leaders and two of the terror group's financiers. they will be made subject to travel bans , asset subject to travel bans, asset freezes and arms embargoes that prohibit the sale of weapons to any individuals. the foreign office saying that action is coordinated with the united states aimed disrupting states aimed at disrupting operations even leaders are operations even if leaders are pulling strings from outside of gaza. pulling strings from outside of gaza . and lastly, his majesty , gaza. and lastly, his majesty, the king is set to host a reception for the nhs staff at buckingham palace as part of his 75th birthday celebrations today. it comes as the nhs is also marking its 75th anniversary, with 400 nurses and midwives set to attend the royal
4:34 pm

4:35 pm
driving it? >> well, let me tell you, as a motoring journalist and as a used car dealer dwarves, i've never had it. >> so good. >> so good. >> we are milky it at the moment because since lockdown. >> martin car prices have gone exponentially northward and there's no sign of them coming back down south. now, this story really focuses on big inner city life, like in london, like in birmingham, where people really they could just get the tube the tram, they can get the bus elsewhere. now, this story isn't affecting rural parts of the west midlands, where we sell our cars from. >> but what is in dispute able martin, fact that martin, is the fact that increases of everything thing is putting the cost of motoring going through the roof. >> so i'll give you an example. five years ago i sold a well, it was a 15 year old volkswagen lupo, a little tiny ideal learner car. martin and i sold it for £1,000. that car has doubled in price. the reason it's gone to £2,000, martin, is because so many people want small economical cars. the reason they want small

economical cars is because the cost of diesel has gone through the roof. insurance daubs has gone up 30. the reason it's gone up so much is because the price of labour has gone up and the price of components like wind . price of components like wind. technical gremlin there with danny. >> what he was about to say was pnces >> what he was about to say was prices have gone through the roof. and i was astonished by this statistic that the average year on year car insurance is up 30. as danny just said, the average price now £561 is astonishing . petrol prices up astonishing. petrol prices up 20% since 2019. and also what we didn't get onto there, which i was really hoping we could coven was really hoping we could cover, is this war of taxation. we see things like ulez and clean zones, which are clean air zones, which are i believe they are taxation dressed as salvation . anne you dressed as salvation. anne you know, i talk to car drivers all the time, taxi drivers in particular tell me they feel they are being pickpocketed by politicians , particularly in
4:37 pm
politicians, particularly in london and birmingham, and clean air zones are now in places like newcastle and norwich, greater manchester, bradford and they're coming to a town near you. all of this, i believe , is designed of this, i believe, is designed to fleece the motorist . it's to fleece the motorist. it's a cash cow that's being milked dry. dan is back. danny, can you pick up there? captain we were just talking about the fact that many people now feel that through things like clean air zones and ultra low emissions zones, politicians have now turned into highway robbers . turned into highway robbers. >> yeah. let me give you a great example, martin. you live and work in london now. sadiq khan has actually, if you drive through london in a in a non ulez compliant car. sadiq khan will give you three days to pay the fine if you miss out on the £12.50 on the day. so if i drive to london today and i don't pay the £12.5 ulez then i to london today and i don't pay the £125 ulez then i have up until four days to pay it. now then he hits you with a i think
4:38 pm
it's a £90 fine. and then if you don't pay that, then that doubles. whereas birmingham are a lot more lenient. birmingham will give you seven days to back pay will give you seven days to back pay and then the fines are proportionally a lot less as well. so there seems to be a war on the motorists in the capital, more so than in birmingham. but you're right to point out birmingham, bristol, london, you're right to point out birm have m, bristol, london, you're right to point out birm have the3ristol, london, you're right to point out birm have the same, london, you're right to point out birm have the same criteria], you're right to point out birm have the same criteria . they have the same criteria. thankfully, low thankfully, though, the low emission zones in other big towns and cities, they're not quite as draconian. but your underlying message is correct. martin you know, i think that the governments and local councils want you out your councils want you out of your car, without doubt. car, without a doubt. >> and if the direction of travel, pardon the pun , we hear travel, pardon the pun, we hear about 15 minute cities. we hear about 15 minute cities. we hear about cities and towns being subdivide into regions where you need a permit to travel outside of them . sensible town planning. of them. sensible town planning. the defenders of that would say. but those beleaguered motorists might start to think , hang on a might start to think, hang on a minute, am i just getting fleeced? simply to turn a wheel .
4:39 pm
fleeced? simply to turn a wheel. >> yeah. martin you're correct. you know, it's indisputable. i can't argue against you. there is i believe war is a very emotive term, but motorists are being punitively financially hammered. that's without a doubt. you know , whether it's doubt. you know, whether it's the price of fuel, the price of insurance, it's the price of just the road tax . and also the just the road tax. and also the pnces just the road tax. and also the prices are going up northwards just the road tax. and also the pri well. �*e going up northwards just the road tax. and also the pri well. it's)ing up northwards just the road tax. and also the pri well. it's not up northwards just the road tax. and also the pri well. it's not ap northwards just the road tax. and also the pri well. it's not a good hwards just the road tax. and also the pri well. it's not a good timeis just the road tax. and also the pri well. it's not a good time to as well. it's not a good time to buy a car, unfortunately. martin and you're right. i think they want you on the bus. they want you on the tram. they want you on the train. they want you out of cars now. of the cars now. >> danny something i want to pick brains as a car pick your brains about as a car salesman. they're talking about a petrol and diesel cars a ban of petrol and diesel cars in going to in 2030, when there's going to be time to buy of be the best time to buy one of those and assuming one those cars. and i'm assuming one minute before they minute to midnight before they ban and try keep that ban them and try and keep that on the road forever. am i right? ban them and try and keep that on well,ad forever. am i right? ban them and try and keep that on well, let forever. am i right? ban them and try and keep that on well, let meyer. am i right? ban them and try and keep that on well, let me tellkm i right? ban them and try and keep that on well, let me tell you right? >> well, let me tell you something. i think sunak has pushed it back to 2035 to align ourselves our european ourselves with our european friends, which was, in my view, a great idea. would buy a great idea. i would buy a petrol or diesel car as late as
4:40 pm
you can because i tell you what, martin, anything to do with supply and demand. if you can't get a brand new petrol car, but you've got one that's six weeks old until the deadline old up until the deadline of 2035, car is going to go up 2035, your car is going to go up in value because people have no choice to pay the market choice but to pay the market rate because you cannot get a new one. you're right daubs you rate because you cannot get a newmake you're right daubs you rate because you cannot get a newmake au're right daubs you rate because you cannot get a newmake a couple 1t daubs you rate because you cannot get a newmake a couple of)aubs you rate because you cannot get a newmake a couple of quid; you rate because you cannot get a newmake a couple of quid if'ou rate because you cannot get a newmake a couple of quid if you can make a couple of quid if you buy at the right time buy the car at the right time and no doubt the market will be flooded cars that aren't flooded with cars that aren't worth much money. >> blokes like you will make a packet. as the kind of packet. as ever, the kind of arthur yourself, packet. as ever, the kind of arthur will yourself, packet. as ever, the kind of arthur will be yourself, packet. as ever, the kind of arthur will be moppingelf, packet. as ever, the kind of arthur will be mopping up. danny will be mopping up. >> i'm for those listening >> oh, i'm for those listening on radio. they couldn't hear me wince at the arthur daley stereotype. daubs let me tell you something, pal. the motor game has cleaned itself up. honestly if you're in arthur daley, you won't last long. oh, my god. i can't believe i've been doing. i've been insulted like this from you. daubney >> danny, it was a term of endearment to somebody i think is friend. mate, take is a great friend. mate, take care. all the best out there. safe driving now. moving on. suella braverman, sacked suella braverman, the sacked home written to
4:41 pm
home secretary has written to rishi sunak being dumped rishi sunak after being dumped from cabinet yesterday. let's cross to our political editor christopher for christopher hope now for a dramatic chris, what's dramatic update. chris, what's the ? well well, martin, the latest? well well, martin, she said she speaks she really has. >> and then some in a letter, three page letter here to the prime minister, suella braverman , now the former home secretary she makes a number of claims about the pm, which will make them make them wince in downing street, provides massive ammunition keir starmer ammunition for sir keir starmer at prime minister's questions tomorrow . it reveals here for tomorrow. it reveals here for the first time that when suella braverman offered home braverman offered to become home secretary october 2022, secretary in october 2022, forgive me was offered that job she issued some demands that she says were were agreed with the prime minister to reduce overall legal migration to deliver on the northern ireland protocol bill and retained eu law bill and the rest. it's a document, she says. here she agreed with the pm and she then says that she sent many letters to the prime minister about these areas. he says. she says you
4:42 pm
have manifestly and failed to deliver every single one of these key policies , either your these key policies, either your distinctive style of government means are incapable of doing means you are incapable of doing so, or i must now conclude you have never had any intention of keeping your promises. these aren't interests of mine, he says. she says these are ideas that they were promised by the british people in 2009, 2019, and she talks here about she's she's very keen to leave the echr we know that she says how she was against areas of litigation from the government in this area. if we lose the supreme court, that's tomorrow morning on this idea of going of processing, people arriving here in rwanda, then we wasted a whole year and an act of parliament to right back at square one. it's absolutely brutal. this note here from suella braverman . she's very suella braverman. she's very concerned about the direction the government is taking. we are now seeing complete schism now seeing a complete schism opening up between the right of the party and rishi sunak centrist government. how this plays out in the next few days could be very interesting indeed
4:43 pm
i >> -- >> and there's a withering line here, chris. if we lose in the supreme court, an outcome that i've consistently argued we must be prepared for, then you will have wasted a year and in and an act of parliament only to arrive back at square one. this is absolutely brutal stuff. chris >> it's in sandra martin. i'm reading it. i'm reading it as we speak from my whatsapp here, being sent to me by someone close to suella braverman. a few moments ago, it said here, she says here towards end, says here towards the end, someone your someone needs to be honest. your plan is not working . we have plan is not working. we have endured record election defeats. your resets have failed and we're running out of time. you need to change course urgently . need to change course urgently. is that paragraph there? i think which would be used on every single labour election leaflet between now and the big day sometime next year. between now and the big day sometime next year . this is sometime next year. this is absolutely incendiary. the party is got a massive schism now at
4:44 pm
the top of it between the centrist rishi sunak brigade and people like suella braverman . it people like suella braverman. it is civil war in the tory party >> yeah. and chris, a withering penultimate paragraph here in this three page letter. i may not have always found the right words, but i have always striven to give voice to the quiet majority that supported us in 2019, and i have endeavoured to be honest and true to the people who put us in these privileged positions . chris entirely tear positions. chris entirely tear ing in to rishi here saying that yes, i may not have been delegate to my choice of phrase, but just saying as jacob rees—mogg, as lord frost has said today, chris, that she was speaking, what the voters put out there, i endeavoured to be honest and true, implying, of course that rishi has been neither . nehhen >> that's right. i mean, her language on the idea of a choice to live in a tent if you're homeless . that was a for
4:45 pm
homeless. that was a for goodness ten days ago now, wasn't it ? and then of course, wasn't it? and then of course, these remarks in the times opinion piece last wednesday night were certainly kind of out there. they went further than there. they went further than the pm would say, words you wouldn't use , as he said to us. wouldn't use, as he said to us. but of course, her point is i'm trying to create the kind of space for what you're doing as a government, at the end, government, he says. at the end, there's a threat at the end. martin noting that martin worth noting that this letter i will, of course, continue support continue to support the government , she says, pursuit government, she says, in pursuit of policies with align of policies with which align with authentic conservative with an authentic conservative agenda. now that term authentic means right wing. so she's saying here, unless you pursue right wing policies, that will mean tax cuts. that will mean leaving the echr . and if you do leaving the echr. and if you do things the right want , i can't things the right want, i can't support this government . that's support this government. that's the threat here in plain terms to the prime minister and chris, there will be many, many people looking at this, looking for the next move. >> what this indicates, what the direction of travel will be. a lot of people were saying we'll suella braverman position
4:46 pm
herself as the champion of the right in a fragmenting party. chris this says that in spades. well the context, of course, is let us know of no confidence. >> now after the first year of the of the sunak's premiership was up last month, you can now submit if you're a tory mp and you want to a letter of no confidence in the leadership of the prime minister. rishi sunak. that's to graham brady. if more than of say they support than 15% of mps say they support that, there will be a vote of no confidence, it's the first letter went in last night from dame andrea jenkyns. letter went in last night from dame andrea jenkyns . she was dame andrea jenkyns. she was seen as an outlier. she was dismissed a pantomime dame by dismissed as a pantomime dame by one tory mp. but i just wonder whether this letter here might cause some other mps a pause for thought. i was talking earlier with a very senior tory mp , a with a very senior tory mp, a member of the cabinet, who said to me that every one person to me that for every one person promoted a reshuffle , two are promoted in a reshuffle, two are not happy about it at all. that's two thirds of the party are probably unhappy, feel overlooked. they wonder what
4:47 pm
they've got. nothing to lose. i wonder whether i just wonder whether is the beginning of whether this is the beginning of something . it may be nothing. something. it may be nothing. i mean, i think that suella braverman an appeals to a distinct the party and distinct wing of the party and not probably mr not enough to probably beat mr sunak toe to toe fight for sunak in a toe to toe fight for leadership this a real leadership. but this is a real problem this is her problem here. this is her setting stall. suella setting out her stall. suella braverman standard bearer setting out her stall. suella brythe man standard bearer setting out her stall. suella brythe right standard bearer setting out her stall. suella brythe right with standard bearer setting out her stall. suella brythe right with an andard bearer setting out her stall. suella brythe right with an incendiaryirer of the right with an incendiary letter here to rishi sunak. yeah and chris, a lot of people will be looking at this and saying, you braverman said you know, suella braverman said she would speak out and by jove, she would speak out and by jove, she has she really has spoken out incendiary words, hinting at division. >> and chris may be maybe this is an indication of a schism opening up. this is huge news. we'll get reaction to bravermans comments throughout the show. of course, i'm martin daubney on gb news britain's news

fraying at the edges of the tory party's discipline , almost party's discipline, almost a schism at the heart of it between the right wing of the party, which feels ignored and expunged by the pms reshuffle last night and early today. expunged by the pms reshuffle last night and early today . and last night and early today. and suella braverman is putting herself at the forefront of that rebellion against the prime minister is a revenge dish served up cold? >> the withering message, the timing as well, the fact that this is landing on rishi's desk the evening before this dramatic supreme court ruling tomorrow . supreme court ruling tomorrow. and she specifically and directly referring to this, if we lose in the supreme court, an outcome that i have consistently argued we must be prepared for, then you will have wasted a year and an act of parliament only to arrive back at square one. she's directly laying this defeat if it happens, and the lack of preparedness right at rishi's door. doon >> the government is ready, ready for what may happen tomorrow . in the cabinet ready for what may happen
5:10 pm
tomorrow. in the cabinet this morning, the government discussed the possible verdicts that the supreme court might hand down. it's not simply a red red stop or green for go on the rwanda plan. there might be some elements around it. and it sounds that's might where sounds to me that's might where it up going. so they it might end up going. so they might say, well, might the judges may say, well, as things stand, you can't go ahead. as things stand, you can't go ahead . if you do some legal ahead. if you do some legal changes, you can go ahead. and that's maybe the point that suella braverman making. suella braverman is making. why not these legal not get on with these legal changes as in anticipation of what court might rule? we what the court might rule? we hear tomorrow. hear more at 10 am. tomorrow. but is the first time we've but this is the first time we've got absolute civil war got some absolute civil war breaking in the tory party breaking out in the tory party against a leader who was appointed to appointed, don't against a leader who was appoirbyi to appointed, don't against a leader who was appoir by toryippointed, don't against a leader who was appoir by tory mps.|ted, don't against a leader who was appoirby tory mps. the don't against a leader who was appoirby tory mps. the problem forget by tory mps. the problem with reshuffles is for every one person who who is promoted or delighted to be promoted to you are not happy. that's that means are not happy. that's that means a two thirds of the tory party are not happy about way it's are not happy about the way it's ended where this where this ended up, where this where this goes from here. we'll wait and see. today, spoke to see. earlier today, i spoke to miriam kruger , miriam cates and danny kruger, the co—chairs of the new conservatives group, a group of
5:11 pm
around 30 to 40 tory mps who want to try and get the tory party back to the mandate that was delivered by the by that landslide victory won by boris johnson in 2019. suella braverman is saying here, i want to be the standard bearer for that push . that push. >> and you talk there >> and chris, you talk there about a fraying at the edges. you talk there about a schism. we've been speculating since she was sensationally sacked that she may reposition herself as a darling of the right. do you think this has all the hallmarks of suella making a play for that position? they play for the darling, the saviour of the right wing of the conservative party . and where it ends up. party. and where it ends up. >> martin we don't know. so we do know that last night, dame andrea jenkin submitted the first public letter of no confidence in the prime minister in as tory in his leadership as tory leader. of course, there was a penod leader. of course, there was a period there was a one year grace the rules meant no grace in the rules that meant no one put these letters in, one could put these letters in, or least they couldn't be or at least they couldn't be opened by graham brady, the chairman 1922 committee.
5:12 pm
chairman of the 1922 committee. he can them. it was he now he can open them. it was published by andrew jenkins. more go in. we don't know more may go in. we don't know how many may go in. we went through psychodrama through this whole psychodrama back with boris johnson in 2020, early 2022, early last year. forgive me. we'll wait and see if more go in. this may well be a signal for other members of the right of the party to put letters of no confidence to in rishi sunak. now, almost certainly win any vote certainly he would win any vote of because of his of no confidence because of his support among the centrist tory mps. but have enough mps do a blow against him. he might. it might be the kind of almost the depth charge for the tory party to force the party to change course , to put an iceberg in the course, to put an iceberg in the way of that tory ship as it sails towards the centre ground. it's the right wing of the party saying this far and no further and any vote of no confidence in mr deliver that. but mr sunak might deliver that. but frankly , what the rest of the frankly, what the rest of the country make this don't country may make of this i don't know. weapon grade know. this is weapon grade ammunition for keir starmer. this these comments here by suella braverman will be the top
5:13 pm
of any labour leaflet going into the election period next year. >> okay. chris hope, as you say, explosive, incendiary comments and sure to dominate the discussion all the way through. now, until that historic supreme court ruling in rwanda tomorrow. but join me now to discuss this is security expert henry is border security expert henry bolton. henry suella said she would speak out . by jove! she's would speak out. by jove! she's roared . roared. >> george roared. she's thrown a hand grenade into the middle of the cabinet office um. >> yeah. wow >> yeah. wow >> wow. um. i couldn't quite believe what i was reading when i read her letter about ten, 15 minutes ago. and chris has summed it up nicely. but if i may just add a couple of other things. um, you have manifested manifestly and repeatedly failed to deliver on every single one of these key policies , either of these key policies, either your distinctive style of government means you are unable or incapable of doing so, or, as i must surely conclude now, you never had any intention of keeping your promises. i mean,
5:14 pm
this is this is incredibly damning stuff . and, you know, damning stuff. and, you know, the rwanda thing, it she's talking about as well. she's made there's a lot in this letter about how she has advised the prime minister and his team not to just assume that this is going to be a walk through the court and they're going to get cleared, cleared by the supreme court tomorrow. but to plan for the that that might the eventuality that that might not happen. >> she's she's saying that >> and she's she's saying that she's got absolutely no response to that. it is damning stuff. she's got absolutely no response to that. it is damning stuff . if to that. it is damning stuff. if the reality is that, of course, she's right, of course, that's what governments should be doing and what this tells me, martin, i mean , stepping outside borders i mean, stepping outside borders really a bit. >> but what this tells me is that rishi sunak , despite that rishi sunak, despite anything that suella braverman has been saying in the media or elsewhere about homeless or about policing, the fact is that rishi sunak sometime ago clearly made a strategic decision to position the conservative party
5:15 pm
at the centre of politics rather than the centre right , at the centre of politics rather than the centre right, and that's what he's now enacted . that's what he's now enacted. and with this cabinet reshuffle, i don't see this leading anywhere whatsoever in terms of immigration, borders , policing, immigration, borders, policing, palace opinion protests or anything of the like. martin this is this is explosive stuff. >> and if this doesn't lead to a civil war and change in the conservative party, nothing will. >> and, henry, there is . the >> and, henry, there is. the more you look, the worse it gets. for rishi. the detail is in credible. one of the key points here was about british law having supremacy over the echr and a detail on the second page.the echr and a detail on the second page. the final paragraph here, henry suella is intimating . that henry suella is intimating. that this could well leave us vulnerable to being thwarted yet again by the strasbourg court . again by the strasbourg court. so she's stating here, so she's clearly stating here, even if we overcome the supreme court hurdle, it will be challenged again in strasbourg. and rishi isn't prepared for
5:16 pm
that. and once again, people will ask the huge question on who's in control. brussels or the uk . the uk. >> well, you know, martin, you're absolutely right with what you say. and she also goes into some detail about the advice that she's provided downing street with that's been ignored in order to prepare for that eventuality . the reality is that eventuality. the reality is that eventuality. the reality is that this, you know, the appointment of david cameron are remainer, the man who led the campaign to stay within the european union is now the foreign secretary. >> now, you know , it defies any >> now, you know, it defies any sort of credible argument whatsoever that this man has been appointed in to order appease brussels. >> this now is a government that has no intention of taking on brussels on the hard issues. >> it is a government that wants to sort of bend with the brussels winds, so to speak . brussels winds, so to speak. that means deferring to it and that doesn't bode well for
5:17 pm
britain going forward as far as i'm concerned. we've got to be a confident, optimistic, prosperous and secure, independent nation going forward. that's what the referendum demanded. >> and now now some people are saying this is taking us back to 13 years ago. well, it certainly taking us back almost to 2016. prior to the referendum . we've prior to the referendum. we've got a remainer government, henry, in terms of the political fallout of this, apart from the immediate shockwaves that rishi will be feeling, there's been a lot of talk, of course, about suella braverman repositioning herself as a new darling , herself as a new darling, potential future leader of a right wing of the conservative party and the final line, henry, in this letter is very indicative of her next move. >> perhaps she says this. i will, of course , continue to will, of course, continue to support the government in pursuit of policies which align with an authentic concern conservative agenda . now, that conservative agenda. now, that couldn't be clearer to me . i couldn't be clearer to me. i wonder what your take is. she's basically saying that rishi's government isn't conservative
5:18 pm
andisnt government isn't conservative and isn't authentic . and isn't authentic. >> martin i've i've been tweeting and i've almost said just now that this is rishi sunak, having made a strategic, strategic decision to go for the centre ground and turn his back on centre right, patriotic pro—british conservatism . pro—british conservatism. >> and, you know, that worries me significantly. and suella braverman obviously of that mind as well . and she's far more as well. and she's far more informed than me on this. >> and i know there are big ructions now within the conservative party. >> i think there will be a lot of head scratching on the centre right on the conservative in the conservative wing of the conservative party >> what do we do now ? >> what do we do now? >> what do we do now? >> do we as we might have been prepared to do, continue to support rishi sunak because he's the leader going into the next general election because it's too late to change horses now or is this so bad now that the
5:19 pm
conservative party enter decides to try and trigger yet another leadership contest going into that election in the hope that they might get something better? >> my concern about that, martin, is twofold . one, i've martin, is twofold. one, i've been there and a party that keeps changing leader is not going to be particularly successful if it does it too often. but the second thing is that i don't really see the leadership being in place to put in place a team. if sunak were to go ready to fight to enter that campaign. >> so it's the conservative party is at a crossroads which way is it going to turn? >> okay. henry bolton, thank you. expert analysis . hand you. expert analysis. hand grenade in the heart of downing street, he called it. we'll have lots more on this huge story between now and 6:00. and thanks to you, gbnews.com is the fastest growing national news website in the country . and it's website in the country. and it's got breaking news and all the brilliant analysis you've come to from gb news. so
5:20 pm
to expect from gb news. so thanks to all you . so more thanks to all of you. so more reaction analysis to that reaction and analysis to that huge suella braverman and huge story. suella braverman and sacked as home secretary has hit back at the prime minister accusing him of failing on key policies. i'm martin daubney on gb news britain's news channel
5:21 pm
5:22 pm
5:23 pm
and people that i knew had dewbs & co weeknights from . six & co weeknights from. six >> welcome back . it's 524. >> welcome back. it's 524. you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news. now
5:24 pm
let's get more reaction to this afternoon's huge, huge breaking news and that is suella braverman has written a scathing letter to rishi sunak after she was censored , personally sacked was censored, personally sacked as home secretary , she accused as home secretary, she accused the prime minister of a betrayal of his promise to do whatever it takes to stop small boat crossings by failing to override human rights. concerns about the rwanda plan. well, joining me now is political commentator peter spencer. pete you're not just a letter. it's been called a hand grenade rolled into the heart of rishi sunaks office. what's your takeaway messages from this explosive, miss sieve? >> well , it from this explosive, miss sieve? >> well, it certainly is the mother of all hissy fits. >> it does leave us scream and scream and scream until i'm sick. >> right out in the cold. >> right out in the cold. >> she seems to be positioning herself something like shakespeare's character casca in juuus shakespeare's character casca in julius caesar. >> when brutus and his chums were sort of shuffling round and being a bit scared and he eventually plunged a dagger into
5:25 pm
caesars eventually plunged a dagger into caesar's back and said, speak hands for me . now, after that, hands for me. now, after that, of course , it didn't have to of course, it didn't have to say. in the end or work out particularly well for brutus and his mates and here is the problem for suella braverman and the right wing of the tory party the first question is how quickly will they gather around in in attempting some sort of coup against rishi sunak? how how quickly and how many of them? and that's open to question because there are will be those even on the centre right of the tory party who think look what's happening here is our party is being re toxified . remember theresa may toxified. remember theresa may saying we've become the nasty party. there is that fear even on the right of the tory party that that's where that's where they're landing themselves. one other point i'd make, of course, is that look at it from the point of view of the electorate . point of view of the electorate. it is it is a matter of
5:26 pm
historical record. parties win from the centre. they don't win from the centre. they don't win from the centre. they don't win from the extremes . from the extremes. >> benza thank you for that analysis. and joining me now is sir geoffrey clifton—brown, who's a conservative mp for the cotswolds . thank you for joining cotswolds. thank you for joining us on this on this moment, sir. geoffrey we're come back to him in a moment, but there's lots to put to him. and thank you very much for him forjoining us much for him for joining us because, you know, facing the music is going music on this key day is going to huge. i to is you to be huge. i want to is you ready geoffrey ready now, sir? geoffrey clifton—brown clifton—brown beg your join us. your pardon. can join us. conservative the conservative mp for the cotswolds . so, geoffrey, the cotswolds. so, geoffrey, the letter not so much a letter letter is not so much a letter as a hand grenade and it has this sentence in it. you have this sentence in it. you have this is about rishi. you have manifestly and repeatedly failed to deliver on every single one of these key policies. what do you make of this sensational letter? well it it is, as you say, a hand grenade. >> there's no doubt about that. i've got it here in front of me. >> i've read it it.
5:27 pm
>> cuz of course , only one sided. >> you're not you're not getting the prime minister's view of what really happened in these amendments . amendments. >> we lost him again. amendments. >> we lost him again . okay. >> we lost him again. okay. carry on. so, yeah, please carry on. >> um, as i say , it is one sided >> um, as i say, it is one sided from a woman who probably feels scorned. having said that, she will have a following in in the british nation amongst conservative supporters . and it conservative supporters. and it is important that we do do everything we can to reduce these boats crossing the channel by by whatever means we can. and i think we've made good progress . i think she's i think she has been unfair on the progress that she helped to maintain , namely she helped to maintain, namely passing the immigration and national party act, which is going to be able to circumvent the european court of human rights in certain circumstances. >> now, what we've got now is a new home secretary and i think we've got to give him the space to see how he can resolve this
5:28 pm
incredibly difficult problem that doesn't just affect us in terms of immigration. an it infects the whole of europe . and infects the whole of europe. and i think we will need to see how he and rishi are able to get to gnps he and rishi are able to get to grips with this. >> well, sir of course, >> well, sir jeffrey, of course, the this is also key the timing of this is also key ahead that, historic ahead of that, that historic supreme court ruling expected tomorrow. and on that specific issue, suella has hit out. if we lose in the supreme court, an outcome that i have concern constantly argued we must be prepared for, then you will have wasted a year and an act of parliament only to arrive back at square one. she then goes on to say that if we do lose at the supreme court tomorrow , we are supreme court tomorrow, we are open, we are vulnerable , she open, we are vulnerable, she says here to being thwarted yet again by the strasbourg court. so the spectre of not only losing on our own soil in britain, but this then go into strasbourg and that would be the spectre of the european court of human rights. eu law being supreme over british law. she's laying that squarely at rishi
5:29 pm
sunak door . sunak door. >> well, i'm not a lawyer. i don't know whether we're going to win or lose. if we win, if we win, then no doubt we will be able to carry out policy. if we lose, we will then need to think what further legal steps parliament take to parliament needs to take to circumvent the european court of human rights to make sure that we can implement the policy that we can implement the policy that we want. but i mean, this is hypothetical. until the court ruled , we don't know what's ruled, we don't know what's going to happen . going to happen. >> no, we don't. but sir jeffrey, she also thinks she's being she also talks about something she's she was criticised about not using the right words. the final two paragraphs of her letter are worth special attention. on that point , she says, i may not have point, she says, i may not have always used the right words, but ihave always used the right words, but i have always striven to give a voice to the quiet majority that supported us in 2019 and that basically means that she is saying rishi is not listening to the voters who got you an 80
5:30 pm
seat majority in 2019. >> well, i think he has been and i think he has made it an absolute priority that he wants to see the boats reduced . now to see the boats reduced. now it's up to him. he's prime minister and his new home secretary they're going to deliver that. but i think that what we've seen here is a home secretary that clearly wasn't entirely happy with her situation at the home office. absolutely hitting out because she has been sacked. so i think we need to be a little bit circumspect about what she says and just see how the prime minister and the home secretary are able to deliver this policy . are able to deliver this policy. now, there's just one final point, and that's the final sentence of this letter i'd like to raise to you, and that is she says, i will, of course, continue to support the government in pursuit of policies which align with an authentic concern . authentic concern. >> lviv agenda with the clear reference . lawrence the subtext reference. lawrence the subtext being that she doesn't believe that government is that rishi's government is authentic or . conservative what
5:31 pm
authentic or. conservative what do you respond to that will look and see how her and her supporters are going to move forward on this. >> it looks to me as though she is still going to continue to be troublesome on the backbenches. now, that is not helpful to rishi sunak. it's not helpful to our party and i would urge everybody, my colleagues , to everybody, my colleagues, to support the prime minister because that way i think we get the best possible chance of presenting ourselves to the british people at the next election if we're all united, all over the place. united disu united parties don't win elections . so i united parties don't win elections. so i think she's got to be really careful what she does now. otherwise she'll she'll make it very much more difficult to us win an difficult for to us win an election. okay maybe that's what she wants. i don't know. >> well, she was sacked and maybe this is a revenge served up cold. and also quickly, sir geoffrey clifton—brown, the tory mp for the cotswolds. thank you for joining us on gb news. well, forjoining us on gb news. well, there's still loads more to come
5:32 pm
between including between now and 6:00, including of course, suella braverman. it has hit back at the prime minister following her sacking, saying rishi sunak is failing in key policies . but tomorrow is a key policies. but tomorrow is a hugely significant day for one of her flagship plans because the supreme court will give its ruling on the government's rwanda policy. but first, here's your latest news headlines with polly middlehurst . polly middlehurst. >> well, the headlines this houn >> well, the headlines this hour. the former home secretary has accused the prime minister of having manifestly and repeatedly failed to deliver on key policies in a letter posted on social media about half an hour ago, suella braverman said rishi sunak's distinct style of government meant he was incapable of keeping the promises he made when she supported his leadership bid . supported his leadership bid. also in the news today, the uk's announced sanctions against four hamas leaders and two of the

5:35 pm
yet taken place as well. i'm joined now by the barrister and writer stephen barrett . stephen, writer stephen barrett. stephen, it's always a pleasure to talk to you. and this story is literally happening in front of our eyes because the with hering resignation, not resignation sorry , the withering letter that sorry, the withering letter that suella just sent to rishi sunak specifically picks up on the legal shortfalls of the rwanda plan and win or lose, she's quite clearly saying here that rishi sunak is not prepared. ed, can you talk us through that in terms of the legal framework, please? stephen yes . please? stephen yes. >> well, it's no surprise to me to have some sudden drama in relation to the rwanda plan because i went to bed having prepared to do a morning slot on, on on the rwanda plan after the court of appeal. and then when i was asleep, the european court of human rights in intervened and threw a grenade. so dont intervened and threw a grenade. so don't worry . so so don't worry. >> i'm used to it. >> what suella is explaining and
5:36 pm
this is constitutionally unique because if suella was still in the cabinet, she wouldn't be able to say this. >> but she's very clear >> but she's made it very clear that this is rishi sunak bed eating the house on one plan. >> he has put all his if her letter is to be trusted, then he has put all his eggs in one basket and is betting on winning in the supreme court tomorrow . in the supreme court tomorrow. >> so a more sensible plan might have been to have several different policies , several different policies, several different policies, several different plans for dealing with this, and then hope that one of them would be lawful rather than to bet the house on this rwanda scheme. now the in the court of so the scheme won in the first court. in the second court, it lost two two against one. so there is there are people who back this. it was the lord chief justice of england and wales who said this scheme could work. the supreme court tomorrow might back might it. >> but what suella letter makes very clear is that this is a gamble by the prime minister and
5:37 pm
she is claiming that she warned him multiple times. >> and that is, i think , very >> and that is, i think, very constitutionally . she's no constitutionally. she's no longer gagged by collective responsibility and she's now just making it very clear to us that the prime minister has spent a year basically effectively crossing his fingers and hoping that this will get through the supreme court. there is i mean, should they win on and i do have to warn your listeners and it doesn't necessarily mean that flights will take off. and that's because there is an unwillingness . sorry. sorry. unwillingness. sorry. sorry. >> so , stephen, that brings me >> so, stephen, that brings me on to this key point, which, again, she she clearly pinpoints in her letter, and that is if on the other hand, we win in the supreme court tomorrow because of the compromise that you insisted on, then we will struggle to deliver on this partnership. and then she says that it will be vulnerable to being thwarted yet again by the strasbourg court . so that is
5:38 pm
strasbourg court. so that is then the spectre of even in the event of a victory on british soil , then we will be bowing to soil, then we will be bowing to strasbourg. how can that be allowed to happen ? allowed to happen? >> well, because she says that she lobbied for clauses to go into the act that would stop that happening and that he decided not to do that . decided not to do that. >> and i don't. she makes she makes a key legal point in her letter about that. the prime minister believe that these injunctions that come out of strasbourg, these rule 39 orders, are legally binding. now, i don't believe that they are legally binding and several other good lawyers binding. i think she references one of them in the house of lords. i don't think she namechecked , but it's think she namechecked, but it's almost certainly lord radharavi. but i don't believe what you've got is a prime minister who's taking legal position on that are very restrict on what the uk can do and actually he could be much more robust. and i think he
5:39 pm
can be more robust. and lots of other lawyers to go to. >> and stephen, there's a phrase here which she draws attention to, notwithstanding adding clauses to that effect. so is this you please educate me. is this you please educate me. is this basically saying that if there had been laws drawn up or clauses drawn up which gave british law supremacy , that even british law supremacy, that even the events of a defeat or a victory , we could have victory, we could have overridden the echr and strasbourg anyway, but rishi didn't put that in and therefore , either win or lose, we could be in hot water here. >> yes. and actually, i think you're understanding that very well. mean , am a total legal well. i mean, am a total legal nerd . so this is my opportunity nerd. so this is my opportunity to actually upset suella because i like the phrase she used i don't like the phrase she used because i can't remember what you said. it i can't what she said i would have called them ouster clause. and we have proved work proved that ouster clauses work when parliament wants to. it can put judges back in their box and say this is going to happen.
5:40 pm
whether the judges like it or not. and that's now been proved to work when we knew it worked and the first one was actually in 1688. so we have always known it, but we got into an odd state where we believed that parliament was somehow subject to the court, which is isn't okay. >> stephen barrett, we're going to have to leave it there. thank you for that. expert legal analysis happens. analysis and what happens. there's be choppy water there's going to be choppy water ahead ruling ahead for this rwanda ruling tomorrow at the supreme court. let's get reaction on this let's get more reaction on this afternoon's big breaking news. suella scathing suella braverman scathing criticism of rishi sunak. she's urged the prime minister to change course , urgently telling change course, urgently telling him that he has led the conservatives to record election defeats. and that's his resets have failed and we are running out of time. well, joining me now is the political research director, savanta chris hopkin . director, savanta chris hopkin. kins. chris, absolute bedlam here. it's been called a hand grenade rolled into rishi sunak office. you're an expert at
5:41 pm
political analysis. you're an expert in how voters to react. will react to things like this. what do you think this will do for polling for the tory party and will it make votes for other parties? for example, reform uk seem more appealing ? seem more appealing? >> yeah, i mean, i don't think it's going to have a huge impact. >> martin on on headline voting intentions . ultimately, the intentions. ultimately, the conservative floor at the minute seems to be around 28 maybe, maybe a little bit lower, 28 percentage points. and i find it hard to believe that that could get much lower. but equally, ultimately, the public don't vote for divided parties. and i think that the conservative party minute is looking party at the minute is looking increasingly . think increasingly divided. i think that sort response from that this sort of response from a departing secretary is a departing home secretary is relatively unprecedented . i relatively unprecedented. i think that if this does cut through to the public, then then all it does is make the make the party look look more and more divided. and yes , you know, divided. and yes, you know, we've reform as high as 7% we've had reform as high as 7% in some of our opinion polls, 5% nationally. and yet and yes, they are taking votes away from
5:42 pm
they are taking votes away from the conservative party. whether that out at a general that would play out at a general election not will depend on election or not will depend on how that party ends how many seats that party ends up standing in. i think they haven't always performed that well in byelections or indeed local elections , as if they were local elections, as if they were to stand every seat at a to stand in every seat at a general then general election. then then yeah, think they could end up yeah, i think they could end up having big impact on having quite a big impact on some conservative seats some conservative held seats because chris, of course what's happenedin because chris, of course what's happened in those elections happened in those by elections is have secured is that reform have secured enough of a vote to stop the conservatives getting power splitting the vote, as you may call it. >> what do you think the labour party will be making of this? in terms of polling? it's sometimes feels like starmer doesn't feels like keir starmer doesn't have to anything. he just have to do anything. he just sits watches sits back and watches the conservatives . conservatives implode. >> i mean, i think you've hit the nail on the head, martin, to be completely honest, i think i think that that was a key part of labour's strategy in when keir starmer had become leader in 2020. i think it was almost waiting for the conservatives to implode. and through boris johnson and then liz truss and
5:43 pm
still today they it still seems to be happening . i still today they it still seems to be happening. i think if you'd have asked me a week or maybe a half ago or maybe a week and a half ago or perhaps little longer, perhaps a little bit longer, which these , which the which of these, which of the main parties looking more main parties is looking more divided? probably divided? i would have probably said over said labour, particularly over over the israel—palestine issue, but sudden it's slipped but all of a sudden it's slipped back the conservative party. back to the conservative party. we're about labour we're not talking about labour divisions over israel—palestine, although may tomorrow with although we may do tomorrow with that vote in the commons. but i think at the minute the conservatives look far more divided i think that letters divided and i think that letters as evening from as we've seen this evening from suella braverman , do absolutely suella braverman, do absolutely nothing help and will nothing to help that. and will nothing to help that. and will not in sort of endorse the conservative party to the electorate at all. >> chris, earlier on, we >> and chris, earlier on, we were speaking to a senior political that used to political analyst that used to help major government. help the john major government. he was saying this has huge historical kind of reflections and impacts and reverberations from the end of the major era when blair, of course, swept to in power by a landslide . in in power by a landslide. in terms of the way the polls are shifting at the moment. and then with this chaos thrown on top,
5:44 pm
are you feeling that vibe too ? are you feeling that vibe too? >> yeah , absolutely. i mean, i >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, i think it's i think it's important to say that we're not seeing a lot of movement. actually, frankly, our last seven voting intention polls have been showing labour have all been showing labour leads between 60 and 19 points. i wouldn't expect that to change even through through the latest sort of conservative controversy . i'll expect that labour lead to remain pretty solid. and i think that that's really the story. i think comparison to 1997 are perhaps a little bit a little bit we're perhaps a little bit we're perhaps a little bit we're perhaps a little bit ahead of ourselves, i think, in terms of public opinion, at least the public do not view the labour party in quite the same way now that they did in and they definitely did in 1997. and they definitely don't view keir starmer in quite the positive light that the same positive light that they view tony blair. they perhaps view tony blair. but the conservative on but the conservative brand on the hand , is completely the other hand, is completely through the floor. so it appears like it's as toxic as it has been at least in recent memory. and it's going to take a real implosion from the labour party or a real change in fortunes
5:45 pm
or or a real change in fortunes for the conservative party to be able rescue this or to be able to rescue this or to be able to rescue this or to be able to rescue this or to be able to turn things around in time for the next general election. well don't rule anything this current environment. >> chris political >> chris hopkins political research director at savanta, thanks joining us on gb thanks for joining us on gb news. now we'll be returning to this story after a short break. i'm daubney on gb news i'm martin daubney on gb news and we are

5:50 pm
proud to appoint a strong united team yesterday, focussed on delivering for the british people. the prime minister believes in actions, not words , believes in actions, not words, and he's proud that this government has brought forward the toughest legislation to tackle illegal immigration and has subsequently reduced the number of boat crossings by a third. this year. and whatever the outcome of the supreme court tomorrow, he will continue that work . prime minister, thanks. work. prime minister, thanks. the former home secretary for her service as well. let's speak now to our political correspondent, catherine katherine forster . catherine, he katherine forster. catherine, he might be through gritted teeth, thanking her for his service, but he won't thank her for this letter. >> no , he certainly won't. >> no, he certainly won't. there's a really marked contrast, isn't there ? i mean, contrast, isn't there? i mean, when he sacked her yesterday , when he sacked her yesterday, which he did over the phone , which he did over the phone, normally you get a fairly courteous with occasionally sort of half buried barbs in exchange of half buried barbs in exchange of letters . we had none of that. of letters. we had none of that. and although suella braverman said there had been honour of
5:51 pm
her life to be home secretary, she did say she would say more in due course. and now she has. so rishi sunaks reply very short, thanking her for her service, but basically not engaging with her at all, not addressing any of these incredibly damning charges that she has laid at his door. but her letter, frankly . well, i her letter, frankly. well, i have never seen anything like it. they tend to be a page, a page, and a half at the most. most of it tends to be fairly anodyne. but this is two and a half pages of densely packed base hinckley like she's just thrown a bomb into number 10, isn't it? and a few bits stick out of many . but isn't it? and a few bits stick out of many. but ultimately she said someone needs to be honest. your plan is not working. we have endured record election defeats . your resets have defeats. your resets have failed, and we are running out of time. you do need to change
5:52 pm
course urgently. now, of course , course urgently. now, of course, we've heard about rishi sunaks recent threats. there was going to be one after the summer. he you know, softened some of those net zero targets, became a friend of the motorist, tilted a little bit, it seemed to the right then we were waiting for a bit of a reset at conference and axing of hs2 that didn't really seem to do anything. the king's speech ditto. and now this big reset with the reshuffle . but reset with the reshuffle. but suella braverman clearly very , suella braverman clearly very, very angry. one of the other very angry. one of the other very damning parts, she said you have manifestly and repeatedly failed to deliver on every single one of these key policies . is either your distinctive style of government means you are incapable of doing so , or as are incapable of doing so, or as i'm surely conclude now, you never had any intention of keeping your promises. never had any intention of keeping your promises . so she's keeping your promises. so she's saying they did a deal which we
5:53 pm
knew widely , to put rishi sunak knew widely, to put rishi sunak into downing street just over a year ago. her support bringing the right on board was absolutely critical to getting rishi sunak appointed prime minister, and she's saying they had all of these agreements . had all of these agreements. she's saying that he's reneged on them . and this is really very on them. and this is really very explosive . so let's see what explosive. so let's see what happens now. but for the labour party, this is the gift that keeps on giving the tory party yet again seems to be tearing itself apart . itself apart. >> thank you for that analysis . >> thank you for that analysis. superb. and i was just saying it doesn't feel like a letter. it feels like a boxing glove. it feels like a boxing glove. it feels like a boxing glove. it feels like something that leaps out of the page and whacks you on the nose. and i'm joined now in the studio by patrick christys, of course , patrick, christys, of course, patrick, you are doing patrick christys tonight , you are doing patrick christys tonight, nine till 11, an extraordinary letter. no doubt you be picking up on this a lot in your show, but you've got something else for us too. yeah i do.

so the british people and basically being too weak to even make a decision, preferring instead to be liked , not really instead to be liked, not really sure how well that last one is working out for him, but let me tell you, if that was not a big enough bomb into number 10 itself, stop there itself, it doesn't stop there because so—called new because the so—called new conservatives, the likes of pretty redwood, iain pretty patel, john redwood, iain duncan miriam cates, duncan smith, miriam cates, etcetera, too have written etcetera, they too have written an open letter accusing rishi, i quote of abandoning the voters who switched to them last time . who switched to them last time. yes, ladies and gents, as i said, the gloves are off. we'll be getting into all of that and getting stuck into some robust
