3:20 pm
be to turn against the organisation, the body, the entity that is doing that. regarding course of the cause of it. and in this particular case it. and in this particular case it is if because you hear similar denial, if you like , similar denial, if you like, over the hamas attacks on the 7th of october, the most heinous , horrific, depraved attacks . , horrific, depraved attacks. and i to be honest, there are few things that i can't get my head around nana but this is one. it can you not condemn what happened on the 7th of october? can you not condemn ? i'm calling can you not condemn? i'm calling for genocide whilst at the same time being concerned about innocent lives being destroyed, innocent lives being destroyed, innocent people being killed and maimed, and so on, and all the psychological damage that comes . psychological damage that comes. i can do both. yeah. why can't other people and i, you know , other people and i, you know, i've said a few times now, i nobody can lecture me about the horrors of war. i've seen them far too many times, close and personal and civilian casualties, mass civilian casualties, mass civilian casualties , too. and i you know,
3:21 pm
casualties, too. and i you know, i find it horrific what's going on. however there there has to also be a pragmatic ism about the situation. if there is a ceasefire, as people are calling for in that protest, ceasefire, as people are calling for in that protest , then it is, for in that protest, then it is, as yuri says, quite rightly, going to play directly into the hands of hamas. it will perpetuate the war. it will make the war more intractable and it will lead to further casualties, not fewer. in the short term, maybe fewer, but in the longer term, it will lead to more israeli casualties and more palestinian casualties . and what palestinian casualties. and what people won't know, because i don't the don't think it's been in the media, but since october 7, there have over attacks there have been over 100 attacks on states bases around on united states bases around the middle east and 11 yesterday. that's an yesterday. so that's an escalation. and so we're seeing the longer this goes on, even if you stop it, then it won't help. but if you let it go on, then if you have a ceasefire, it will perpetuate all this will perpetuate and all of this will get worse . get worse. >> henry, you so much. >> henry, thank you so much. we'll back later. anyway to we'll be back later. anyway to talk about stuff, henry talk about more stuff, henry bolton, expert. is bolton, security expert. this is gb welcome aboard if you gb news. welcome aboard if you just 23 just joined in. coming up to 23 after after 3:00 i'm nana akua

3:40 pm
nana akua. this is gb news. we are the people's channel. we're live tv , online and on live on tv, online and on digital radio. now this is one of my biggest, one of my favourite subjects. it's all about weight because britain's weight almost 100 weight problems cost almost 100 billion analysis billion a year. analysis suggests that prompting calls for crackdown on for a government crackdown on unhealthy and a drive to unhealthy food and a drive to promote fresh ingredients . and promote fresh ingredients. and tony blair, the tony blair institute . i'm always very institute. i'm always very dubious when i start talking about the costs have about him because the costs have soared from 58,000,000,000 in 20 20 to 98 billion. as the government's former adviser on food, henry dimbleby, said that the spiralling cost shows us that growing prevalence of people overweight weight people being overweight weight is absolute public health is an absolute public health disaster. well, joining me now to discuss is steve miller. he's the former presenter of fat families. used love that families. i used to love that show, steve. i used to love that show. he can't hear me. he can't hear me all. can't hear you. hear me at all. can't hear you. i hear you. oh, we can't i can hear you. oh, we can't hear us. a shame. anyway, hear us. that's a shame. anyway, i know you ever i don't know whether you ever used steve used to watch it, but steve olson presented secret eaters and people who and there was people who said, i don't why fat. i have don't know why i'm fat. i have noidea
3:41 pm
don't know why i'm fat. i have no idea why i'm fat. and then a camera them and camera would film them and they'd hidden in they'd have cameras hidden in secret locations that they weren't they had weren't aware of. but they had agreed show, which agreed to do the show, which also included locations in their workplace , and they were filmed workplace, and they were filmed stuffing their faces . it was. stuffing their faces. it was. and the bottom line is , the and the bottom line is, the bottom is most people are bottom line is most people are overweight they too overweight because they eat too much. let's have a with much. but let's have a chat with steve presenter , steve miller, also presenter, former presenter of fat families, steve, why do you think that there is this big obesity problem? what is? because often say the because people often say the manufacturers labelling, because people often say the marthis:turers labelling, because people often say the marthis or'ers labelling, because people often say the marthis or that, labelling, because people often say the marthis or that, the labelling, the this or that, the advertising, there's too much sugarin advertising, there's too much sugar in things. why are people so fat ? so fat? >> oh, and aren't we board sick of all of this blame game? you know, we just want to blame everybody else for being ballooners . and frankly, the big ballooners. and frankly, the big elephant, excuse the pun in the room right now is culture. we have developed a society in this country that actually applauds people for being fat, celebrates people for being fat, celebrates people being fat, and that is
3:42 pm
the big problem . the problem the big problem. the problem we've got is we're not straight talking enough about it. if you go to japan or if you go to south korea , for example, being south korea, for example, being fat is kind of frowned upon and they're brave and bold enough to put that message out to the public. don't get me wrong, it's not about being horrible and nasty to people all the time. i'm not suggesting that for one minute. but the problem is we've got double standards now , on the got double standards now, on the one hand, we're saying it's great to be slim because you're healthier and on the other hand, we've got this culture we've developed, which is frankly suggesting that, you know , oh, suggesting that, you know, oh, don't worry, you're not fat, you're just curvaceous. and we've got to let go. we've got to bring back some straight talking. and unfortunately, we're not doing it. and that's why it's costing us so much money, because if the government could sort of eliminate this
3:43 pm
problem and we've we've had some of these wegovy , is that what of these wegovy, is that what it's called, the slimming , it's called, the slimming, slimming tablets and things like that, do you think that the government should get behind initiatives like that ? no, i'm initiatives like that? no, i'm not a big fan of these. you know, magic pills and magic fixes. and if you look at the jab, for example , well, what jab, for example, well, what you've got there is something that i would say is an absolute last resort. you go and look at the potential emphasise potential side effects . they're potential side effects. they're really concerning . i think we as really concerning. i think we as brits , we've not got to point brits, we've not got to point the finger at everybody else. we've got to start pointing the finger at ourselves and tell ourselves to own our body , start ourselves to own our body, start literally liquid eating the lard that we've built up ourselves, take personal responsibility. yes, seek support if you need it. but stop whinging and get on with it. that's the sort of speak we need . speak we need. >> but what about some of those food manufacturers? so, for example, there are, what, there
3:44 pm
are 60 different names for sugan are 60 different names for sugar. they hide the word sugar in things like corn syrup and rice and rice starch and all these things. you don't realise that that's actually sugar, don't you think i get it that people know they shouldn't be eating certain things, but the manufacturers surely have got to hold their hands up as well. >> well, i think what we've got to just simplified to do is just simplified food labelling at labelling because if you look at food the shops, i food labels in the shops, i mean, you've got to have a degree in nutrition to understand frankly, if understand them. and frankly, if that putting one bottom, that means putting one bottom, one backside on food that's not that not that fattening , two that not that fattening, two backsies on food, that is a bit fattening, three backsies on food that makes you a right porker, then that's what we've got to do. we've got to get more emotive about it in terms of being straight with people because that's what motivates people. i've been doing this for helping people for over 20 years now, i can tell you what now, and i can tell you what it's not all about hearts and flowers blame game. it's flowers and blame game. it's getting people to own their body as well at the same time as
3:45 pm
giving them support where needed . that's the key. one thing the government can do, though , is government can do, though, is actually partner the supermarket , work with the supermarkets to promote affordable mobility when it comes to healthy food, because one of the big excuses us brits love is that it's too expensive to eat well . well, expensive to eat well. well, actually, if you look deep , it's actually, if you look deep, it's cheapen actually, if you look deep, it's cheaper. it isn't. >> it isn't . steve miller, such >> it isn't. steve miller, such a pleasure to talk to you. thank you so much. that is steve miller formula presenter of fat families , fast approaching 46 families, fast approaching 46 after three nana akua. if you've just tuned in, welcome on board, but live on tv, online on but live on tv, online and on digital radio. but it is time now for this week's political spotlight . right now. my guest spotlight. right now. my guest this week left school at 15, but in 2021, sold the company he founded for £145 million. wow a classic rags to riches tale, of course. joining me to shine a light is charlie mullins, the founder of pimlico plumbers. charlie mullins, thank you so

4:24 pm
got to say, we interviewed buck earlier here last month , and he earlier here last month, and he told us about brianna and now we've actually got to speak to brianna. so i'm really looking forward to talking to her. stay tuned that . that's coming up tuned for that. that's coming up at it's time for at 5:00. but now it's time for the british debate this the great british debate this houn the great british debate this hour. and i'm asking, robert hour. and i'm asking, is robert jenrick too jenrick right? are there too many migrants integrate now many migrants to integrate now after the frontbench, many migrants to integrate now afteimmigrationa frontbench, many migrants to integrate now afteimmigration ministernch, many migrants to integrate now afteimmigration minister dealt the immigration minister dealt another to another crushing blow to the prime minister saying that prime minister when saying that the treaty didn't go the new rwanda treaty didn't go far he's set out far enough and now he's set out at record high immigration numbers. he says the levels numbers. he says at the levels that currently are, it is that they currently are, it is impossible to integrate migrants into society. so for the great british debate this hour, i'm asking , is he british debate this hour, i'm asking, is he right? are british debate this hour, i'm asking , is he right? are there asking, is he right? are there too many migrants to integrate at the pace that they are arriving? well, joining me now is and is international security and border expert henry border control expert henry bolton, political commentator benedict spence and also connor tomlinson . and right, going tomlinson. and right, i'm going to start with you, connor tomlinson. what are your thoughts ? thoughts? >> well, i find the question kind of strange that it could even be contentious that you
4:25 pm
bnngin even be contentious that you bring in 1.2 million people every year, new records and no reduction in sight, every year, new records and no reduction in sight , really, reduction in sight, really, especially after the conservative party have announced this reduction. but they aren't changing the legal mechanisms which blocked the last few reductions. but point aside that we've had more migration from the norman conquest to the second world war in the last 25 years and then we're asking whether or not we're asking whether or not we're going to have social problems. mind problems. i mean, never mind that now number one that britain is now number one in europe and number four in the for committed by for world crimes committed by people origin . never people of foreign origin. never mind spending mind that we are spending 5 million a day on illegal asylum seeker hotels, never mind that nearly 50% of social housing in london is taken up by people of non british born . the idea that non british born. the idea that there wouldn't be cultural incompatibilities alongside these economic challenges is confusing to me. so of course there are far too many migrants currently to help fully integrate. for them to be seeing themselves as british as you or me. >> it's interesting , but aren't >> it's interesting, but aren't you frightened that somebody
4:26 pm
might racist for might call you a racist for saying you know, saying that because you know, i know you're pointing out facts, but you know what it's like these out facts these days. you point out facts like labelled . like that and you get labelled. >> no, because they're probably just lying. i'm not concerned. i'm more concerned about whether or not the high street around me is deteriorating into a series of businesses that i don't want to shop in or that i don't recognise because of a bunch of people turned up in the last couple of years and transformed the that in the place that i lived in without wanting live in without me wanting to live in it. i didn't mention race at all. so if they call me that, i don't care. but i bet don't really care. but i bet it's expense. >> you think ? >> what do you think? >> what do you think? >> think mr jenrick >> what do you think? >> think mrjenrick is broadly >> i think mrjenrick is broadly right. it's unprecedented. the numbers that are being discussed , being integrated into any kind of society throughout history without there being some major, major teething problems . but i major teething problems. but i think actually broadly, the point has been missed, which is mr jenrick is suggesting that it would impossible to integrate would be impossible to integrate these people based on idea these people based on the idea that the outcome that that is the desired outcome anyway. actually, i
4:27 pm
anyway. actually, the record, i think the tory government and think of the tory government and the labour government before it were completely honest were being completely honest has not integrating. not been about integrating. they're in they're not interested in integrating what they see these people purely source people as is purely as a source of there has been the of labour. there has been the view amongst policy makers in this country for a very long time that britain is not a nafion time that britain is not a nation britain is nation state. britain is a market place, part of a larger global marketplace. that global marketplace. but that actually market actually what serves the market is above all what is is sort of above all what is desired and that's in the short term, not in the long term what serves market. and serves the market. and so actually, i think the idea of integrating people slightly integrating people has slightly fallen by wayside. know, fallen by the wayside. you know, practically speaking, is it possible perhaps it might be possible perhaps it might be possible in a country with far larger in larger resources already in place do so, but we don't place to do so, but we don't have if you look at have those. and if you look at just earlier this week, it was reported that the country is failing recruit enough failing to recruit enough secondary school teachers. i think last year we managed to recruit the number of recruit half the number of people that we would need to in order you've seen order to keep pace. you've seen over couple months over the last couple of months and weeks of the onset and weeks the sort of the onset of of young people of anti—semitism of young people on demonstrations across london
4:28 pm
and elsewhere. a lot of those people have been born in the uk, but are of migrant but they are of migrant backgrounds. where are they learning not learning this? they're not learning this? they're not learning the schools. learning it in the schools. they're from their they're learning it from their own own own cultures, from their own parents. have the parents. we do not have the resources of stamp that resources to sort of stamp that out, speak, but if out, so to speak, but also, if we're being completely honest, what british? what what is it to be british? what is to integrated? lot of is it to be integrated? a lot of our in this country do is it to be integrated? a lot of our really in this country do is it to be integrated? a lot of our really have s country do is it to be integrated? a lot of our really have muchitry do is it to be integrated? a lot of our really have much of' do is it to be integrated? a lot of our really have much of an» is it to be integrated? a lot of our really have much of an idea, not really have much of an idea, nor they want an they nor do they want an idea. they have set it up as an idea that it racist sort of revert it is racist to sort of revert to of nationhood. if you to ideas of nationhood. if you are part of the constituency thatis are part of the constituency that is already here. but they're more than happy to promote ideas of multicol naturalism in order to persuade more people to here. the more people to come here. the idea you don't actually idea that you don't actually have british have to adhere to british values, you don't have to adhere to british ideals. you are more than to come and than welcome to come here and retain own retain great swathes of your own culture and that actually that is a way of importing more people because as i say, integrating isn't the key point. getting bodies through the door is important bit for a lot is the important bit for a lot of these people. >> let's see henry >> well, let's see what henry henry what you make henry bolton, what do you make
4:29 pm
of yeah, then jenrick is >> yeah, then robert jenrick is correct. it's much of a correct. it's not much of a debate it sort of agreeing in debate as it sort of agreeing in a sense. but one thing that i think very important point to think is very important point to make very important make that's very, very important is is not right wing or is that it is not right wing or extremist or racist it to express concerns as to whether or not the country can provide the infrastructure and has got the infrastructure and has got the social resilience s to absorb the sort of numbers of immigrants that we're seeing thatis immigrants that we're seeing that is purely responsible for every single politician , every every single politician, every single community leader, every single community leader, every single police officer, every every member of any nhs foundation, trust any of these people should be seriously concerned about providing the infrastructure for and the social resilience that this or deaung social resilience that this or dealing with the pressure that this level of immigration puts on. it just as an example, we're talking about over the last two years, more immigration net immigration of more than twice the population of the city of
4:30 pm
bristol, bristol has 13 police stations. its police stations. it has . 136 schools, secondary it has. 136 schools, secondary schools . it primary schools. schools. it primary schools. forgive me, it has six hospitals. and now we have not in this country produced twice, twice that in that period of time. we can't keep up with it. it's simply not possible. and in terms of the cultural integration, when you have i think it was about 3 or 4 years ago, the assistant deputy commissioner of the metropolitan police, i forgive me again , i police, i forgive me again, i can't remember his name, stated on national television that muslims should not be required to integrate into british society. so you know, if we've got . got. >> so sorry. >> so sorry. >> what did he say? he said muslims should not be required to integrate into british society. >> it was on national television and saying that now when you've got figures as that got leading figures such as that saying such things, then you end up of course, you end up with with divisions within society , with divisions within society, you end up with different
4:31 pm
communities living separate lives and well , that's that's multiculturalism. >> is it ? >> is it? >> is it? >> well, that is multiculturalism . multiculturalism. >> it's a patchwork, but multicultural ism, in my view, should be where people actually live together, accepting people. it should not be about highlighting differences. >> the definition of >> that's not the definition of multiculturalism in a multiculturalism in a multicultural would be multicultural society. would be that. multiculturalism is that. but multiculturalism is actually different actually all those different cultures own cultures in their own little cultural that's how cultural bubble. and that's how we seem to be rolling at the moment. so in a word, yes or no, then i'm going to start with you, is right then? is you, henry. is he right then? is robert jenrick right? yes, he's entirely or entirely correct. conor, yes or no? right? he's very correct. >> i just wish he have >> i just wish he would have done something it. done something about it. >> would have been >> yeah, that would have been good. in power for a good. they'd been in power for a while. benedict spence. >> well, the other two >> yeah, well, the other two said been nice if said it would have been nice if the actually the last 13 years had actually seen done about it seen something done about it rather than just tories waiting until an election until there was an election cycle thinking it. >> all right, so it's all yeses by looks of it, what do by the looks of it, but what do you home? i mean, what you think at home? i mean, what are thank so are your thoughts? thank you so much to commentators, much to my commentators, benedict and also conor benedict spence and also conor tomlinson, and also security and border international expert

4:41 pm
a about migration and a country about migration and about integration as well, because i think it's i'm glad he's raised this today because integration actually a big integration was actually a big theme under the labour theme under the last labour government , because really, government, because really, because remember when there were there were a series of riots in there were a series of riots in the of england was the north of england and it was about report that said the north of england and it was abc had report that said the north of england and it was abchad separateeport that said the north of england and it was abchad separate butt that said the north of england and it was abchad separate but equal said we had separate but equal societies and, and i don't think there was a big debate. i'm not sure they reached the right absolute conclusions . and i absolute conclusions. and i think clearly, when you've got 700,000 year coming in 700,000 people a year coming in legally, that's before we take into the illegal into account the illegal migrants, then that is very hard into account the illegal miabsorb.then that is very hard into account the illegal miabsorb. people at is very hard into account the illegal miabsorb. people like very hard into account the illegal miabsorb. people like that.�*|ard into account the illegal miabsorb. people like that. and to absorb. people like that. and i think particularly one of the interesting things about the migration 700,000 migration in that 700,000 is that half are that almost half of it are dependants and often they're dependents might not have engush dependents might not have english skills because english language skills because if come here to work, if people come here to work, they to have at they tend to have to have at least minimum of english least a minimum level of english to do those jobs. but to be able to do those jobs. but there isn't any sort of english language test or for if they're bringing with them. and language test or for if they're bricourse, with them. and language test or for if they're bricourse, i with them. and language test or for if they're bricourse, i that:h them. and language test or for if they're bricourse, i that those n. and of course, i worry that those people home, they people get stuck at home, they get they're not get isolated, they're not working they're not working because they're not necessarily some
4:42 pm
necessarily it's obviously some are, the are, but some aren't in the labour i think that's are, but some aren't in the lab> he wanted votes. let's be honest. they can't. this is a myth because they vote, myth because they can't vote, though let me just though it isn't. but let me just say worry. there's say it is a worry. look, there's scary the net scary figures. the net migration, i was shocked migration, i mean, i was shocked at figures we're only a at at the figures we're only a small island. we're bursting at the and it has a knock on the seams and it has a knock on effect with everything from getting a hospital appointment, a , your a doctor appointment, your schools, social schools, everything. social housing and cultural differences . look, when i was trying to get in the other week with the protests, seeing people actually on war memorials sitting on the war memorials sitting there, not really understanding how sacred they are. and the differences. and i'm afraid with

these numbers, we can't keep going on as we are. but some people would argue that with the labour shortage that we have and the fact that we need people to do the jobs, it would appear do the jobs, and it would appear that is just some that this is just what some people british people may say, that british people may say, that british people want to do the jobs. >> who are to get to do >> who are we going to get to do them don't people from them if we don't use people from other because you other countries? because you know, a lot of know, there are a lot of vacancies we have to we have vacancies and we have to we have to own. to train our own. >> there are too many >> and there are too many on benefits. honest. benefits. let's be honest. there's million on benefits. there's 5 million on benefits. and you know, do and i know a lot, you know, do need the benefits, disabled or other reasons . but there are a other reasons. but there are a lot that shouldn't be on benefits. them back to work. benefits. get them back to work. >> but even if that is a tiny fraction i would say fraction even and i would say that majority of people that the majority of people on benefits, say benefits, i would say are genuine people who need the benefits. that's my benefits. that's that's just my view. will be people view. there will be people who often of often take advantage of situations , i situations like this, but i think of people think the majority of people on benefits on the benefits need to be on the benefits need to be on the benefits . and lots of benefits. and there's lots of people who are working. you are in as well, is in in work benefits as well, is that they create the larger portion. but so there's a bigger problem portion. but so there's a bigger pr

4:54 pm
and on digital radio. i'm nana akua now. there's always something going on in the royal household and on the menu. while some exciting stuff , royal some exciting stuff, royal biographer angela levin will reveal all. >> angela yes , well, what i feel >> angela yes, well, what i feel very, very concerned about is prince harry's comment in his court case against him actually taking protection from the home office . and the reason i feel office. and the reason i feel thatis office. and the reason i feel that is because he's actually talking nonsense, because he's saying they were forced out . he saying they were forced out. he and meghan were forced out, which they weren't . they weren't which they weren't. they weren't at all. they wanted to leave. and they did so very quickly. how much london is his home and he wants his children to be here, to be relaxed . but they here, to be relaxed. but they can't be unless they get top protection . and i thought to protection. and i thought to myself, if he starts doing that, it's because everything else has failed. he wants to come back.
4:55 pm
he wants to be a member of the royal family again. but my goodness, he's a very changed harry and is going to do what he wants. and the fact that he has no respect for his father, no respect for his brother, i think he's to be a big he's going to be a big danger because go into because he will go into competition. belief , if we go competition. my belief, if we go into competition with the royal family themselves and either hear what they're doing and do something first, as he had done with other things and i think they've really got to take that very, very carefully . what very, very carefully. what happens. and if he gets the top protection, which i don't think he deserves because it's police with guns who know everything that's going on, he can get a second grade one with no trouble at all. but if he wants that, he takes them off the street for people like you and me , and they people like you and me, and they will have to have four of them. which three times a day they change. and so i think it's really very dangerous . yes. so i
4:56 pm
really very dangerous. yes. so i hope that the decision that's made is that he can have very good protection , but he can't good protection, but he can't have it with police who've got guns >> well, that's what it was anyway. so he he has protection and he just doesn't get the rabbit. isn't it when he's when he's still doing something with the royals , he gets that top protection. >> but when he's here going around and talking about how awful the royals are or wanting to see his friends , then he gets to see his friends, then he gets grade one where they're very good, often they've been police protection, they've retired from it and they will be protected, but not the very top one. he's going one court case after another. there's five five waiting for him. >> well , the way he talks is as >> well, the way he talks is as though he's getting no protection at all. that's how it comes but not the case. >> no, that's not the case. and ihope >> no, that's not the case. and i hope judge sure the i hope the judge i'm sure the judge will actually see that that's not a very good idea. he has lost the case, of course, with the mail because he said that they were intruding his life because they mentioned that
4:57 pm
he was trying to keep it secret, that he was talking to the home office and complaining about the protection an and the judge said , well, they've got a right to do that . and i think that's do that. and i think that's a way of saying, look, mate, don't try and do this as a court case. but harry wanted him to make a decision himself. he's refused to do that. and it's now going to do that. and it's now going to court. it'll be back and forth and that's what his life is . and i think it's incredibly is. and i think it's incredibly sad . sad. >> they've got nothing else to do, have they? >> no, they haven't . they >> no, they haven't. they haven't. because if you look at catherine, i mean, the what we saw of the concert last night, how beautiful she looked, how gorgeous the children were, she must be going through a very difficult time when she's so heavily criticised, as does william . and, well, if you've william. and, well, if you've been outed for being a racist or unconscious bias, which i'm not sure you know, that's not great, is it? no, it's awful. and so that's very difficult. so she's
4:58 pm
they're wearing it very well . they're wearing it very well. but i think for the king to have a son or anybody actually to have a son who is behaving like that at and being very rude about camilla and the first course that at that omid scobie sent over to holland had vile things about camilla and her underwear . underwear. >> and how do you know that ? >> and how do you know that? >> and how do you know that? >> i do know that was it. and lots of nasty things about william. and so this is the first copy that was this is the first copy that was this is the first copy that was this is the first copy that was sent to holland. and so it was a way of getting that done. i think, rather than actually me not. and the owner of that publishing house has said that his facts are up absolutely wrong. so we see that you know, that man is really unpleasant . really unpleasant. >> well, briefly as well, angela, i saw you on jacob's
4:59 pm
show talking about whether they should get their titles stripped. you don't think they should? >> no, i don't they >> no, i don't think they should, think it's too should, because i think it's too changed your mind. no, i haven't i >> -- >> i've never said i thought we said that we would on said that we would work on trying to get mps to. trying to get the mps to. >> actually if you >> no, because actually if you do that, you can't stop harry being prince and being called prince harry and meghan will then be called prince henry . meghan will then be called prince henry. but that's meghan will then be called prince henry . but that's how it prince henry. but that's how it is. actually taking them is. but actually taking them from line succession, from the line of succession, that happen, that should be able to happen, shouldn't but is shouldn't it? but that is a thing government has to thing that the government has to do. well, that's right. and i think will be difficult think it will be very difficult for that. i think they for him to do that. i think they want to save it with harry and they don't really want to push it further you might it any further because you might not well when it all not be very well when it all goes wrong . goes really wrong. >> andrew levin, >> okay. well, andrew levin, thank angela levin, thank you so much. angela levin, royal biographer. we'll stay tuned come , i'll tuned loads. still to come, i'll be brianna ivy . but be talking to brianna ivy. but first, let's get your latest news with sophia . news with sophia. >> good afternoon. it's 5:00. i'm sophia wenzler in the

5:08 pm
at all. and so we decided to go to a gender clinic that was downtown in our city and really go to them for guidance and to figure out what to do in this process. and that was when i started a medical transition right away. >> wow. so how old were you then ? >> 7- >> yeah, i 7_ >> yeah, i was ? >> yeah, i was 13 when i 7 >> yeah, i was 13 when i went there. i received about a 30 minute appointment where they kind of just went through some yes or no questions and they diagnosed me with gender dysphoria and i was 14 years old when i was started on the blockers and the hormones, really. >> so you literally had one 30 minute conversation. and then within a very short space of time, they'd put you on medication . medication. >> yeah, it was pretty much right away now, because in this country we get a lot of people i mean, only earlier we had one gentleman saying that, oh yeah, no puberty blockers, they don't. >> reversible . well, >> it's all reversible. well, you on the puberty you start on the puberty blockers. is that true in your experience or from what you know of these things ? of these things? >> yeah, in my experience , no. i
5:09 pm
>> yeah, in my experience, no. i started having changes pretty quickly and there's really just no way to fully go back like on any sort of natural puberty that you are going to have once you started these medications , started these medications, because in reality it's not really comparable , comparable at really comparable, comparable at all what you go through when you do these medications throughout your puberty , um, it's all your puberty, um, it's all induced through cross—sex hormones. and so it's not it's not comparable to the opposite sex puberty like i thought it was . i was sex puberty like i thought it was. i was under that impression when i started it that i would be going through a female puberty. but that's not really what happened . what happened. >> what did happen when you went on them ? on them? >> yeah, i went through. i definitely went through a lot of bodily changes , but your bodily changes, but your hormones are pretty steady because you take the same dose . because you take the same dose. and i had two injections of the puberty blocker when i was 14 and then started hormones after that. and then started hormones after that . and i did have some issues that. and i did have some issues dunng that. and i did have some issues during that time. there was at one point i was about 16 when i
5:10 pm
wasn't being dosed properly, and so i had not enough hormones at all in my body. so i had not enough hormones at all in my body . and so i was all in my body. and so i was going through menopause symptoms really severely and that was just due to the to the lack of checking the blood work at the time . and so i was on the wrong time. and so i was on the wrong amount. but there's no way to really go back. you really go back. like once you start blockers , it start puberty blockers, it affects development pretty affects your development pretty significantly. and, and one of those ways is that you don't really sexually develop. so by the time i was 18 or 19, i didn't have a lot of development in pelvic area at all or in in my pelvic area at all or in my genitals really . my genitals really. >> what was that like for you ? >> what was that like for you? because you would have been around, i presume you would probably be the only person that's going through that at the time. and it definitely my high school. yeah, it must be very difficult to sort of make friends and, you know, socialise with everybody else. what was that like ? that like? >> yeah, it was really isolating and i didn't really have a lot of friends. i didn't really have
5:11 pm
a lot of social experience because i was going through so much in the clinic and just medically and i was so focussed on transition and there was just so much in and out of the clinic for blood work and all these different appointments. um, that it just, it really was just isolating already . aside from isolating already. aside from just being a trans person and being on the blockers and the hormones , i just didn't develop hormones, i just didn't develop sexually at all. so i didn't have sex drive , i didn't develop have sex drive, i didn't develop the tissue in that area either. and so it definitely was also isolating in that way. i felt like i wasn't feeling an experiencing things the same way as other people my age around me i >> -- >> did you feel that when you were on the path of it that it was like a momentum and you were just getting and you kept going and going and going and there was like a almost like was almost like a almost like a fix for the next thing that would get you closer to the to being you know, a woman, i suppose. >> yes, absolutely . that was >> yes, absolutely. that was something i fell into probably
5:12 pm
after about 3 or 4 years , after about 3 or 4 years, because one of the messages that was told to me in my family when i was starting was that it's best to start young because then you'll look better . best to start young because then you'll look better. you'll have the most changes and you're just you'll just have a better life experience, especially that was also reinforced because the trans people i saw online were typically older and they all wished they had wished that they had transitioned younger age . transitioned at a younger age. um, so then i was being, i um, and so then i was being, i was on the hormones and the blockers, but it was about three years at that point . so when i years at that point. so when i was was i would go was about 17 was when i would go outside and people would just automatically say she and recognise as female . but it recognise me as female. but it still didn't always feel like enough. i was still having mental health problems. still mental health problems. i still didn't have great self—esteem and i didn't have therapy all throughout this transition process. it was just that one appointment and then just the medication. and so i was about 17 and i was already planning the next step, which would be to have surgery done because i was
5:13 pm
i was in the mindset of i'm still not happy. and i've had all these changes and i'm being seen differently, but i still there's still something missing and it doesn't feel like enough. and so then that was when i really wanted to have surgery. >> so. so talk us through a little bit about that surgery . little bit about that surgery. >> yeah . so the bottom surgery, >> yeah. so the bottom surgery, i had was a new form of the bottom surgery. and it's pretty experimental because similar to jazz jennings and this has been like a public thing is that she's had a lot of complications with her surgery. and i did for the same reason being on blockers and hormones. you just don't develop a lot of tissue in your genital area and in your pelvic floor. so i wasn't able to have the traditional form of the procedure that's been done the procedure that's been done the longest. so i had to opt for an experimental version of the surgery, which used a graft of my abdomen skin that's inside the lining in order to create
5:14 pm
the lining in order to create the new organ . and this surgery the new organ. and this surgery was was really experimental . it was was really experimental. it was was really experimental. it was hard to find information about it looking online. there wasn't any real like really detailed stories about what this is like and what the experience was . um, i is like and what the experience was. um, i wasn't able to find a lot of photos, even of the result. so i really trusted my surgeon and he had told me and also my family that because i was young, i was going to heal so well that it was going to make me happier. at the end of it. that was something that he privately told parents was privately told my parents was that they were concerned that i was really depressed and was still really depressed and having problems , having mental health problems, and they didn't know if a surgery really help. and surgery would really help. and he said , see all the time. he said, i see it all the time. and she'll be much better once she has this procedure and she'll feel a lot better. and i had the surgery and i had about every complication possible, and it was the most severe form. i
5:15 pm
had blood clots in my leg. i wasn't able to walk for about two weeks. i was in a lot of pain. my entire body. i was bleeding about every day. i also in that surgery , my urethra was in that surgery, my urethra was completely swollen shut for about a month and so i wasn't able to go to the bathroom without a catheter in a bag. and dunng without a catheter in a bag. and during that that process , i you during that that process, i you also have to dilate when you have bottom surgery. so that's basically you have to insert like it's like a plastic , um, like it's like a plastic, um, it's called a plastic dilator andifs it's called a plastic dilator and it's to keep the space open that they created. and it was so excruciatingly painful every single time it felt like i was ripping myself apart and it felt like i was forcing something inside of me. and it just felt like i was being ripped at. and i was just terrified to ever stop doing it because i was it was told to me that if you give up, if you even miss one day,
5:16 pm
you could have really it could be you could not go back and there would there would be no way recover so i was just way to recover it. so i was just putting myself through so much pain in and he told me that it was supposed to get better over time and that it wasn't supposed to be as uncomfortable to and actually try and use it as like actually try and use it as like a sexual experience and to try and pleasure from but and have pleasure from it. but it was nothing like that. and the pain got worse and it just it just if my body was just completely rejecting it and i felt like i was just trying to force it to stay . force it to stay. >> what happened in the end with it? i mean, you . it? i mean, you. >> yeah. and so after, after a few months, i tried reaching out to him and i was telling him that the pain is getting worse, the bleeding is getting worse . the bleeding is getting worse. um, just it felt like we um, it's just it felt like we were backwards , and he were going backwards, and he kept trying different things. he put me on antibiotics even though i had no infection in. he had me try , like, just coming up
5:17 pm
had me try, like, just coming up with all these different reasons as to why things could be happening and none of it was really true either . and it really true either. and it wasn't until the end of that yeah wasn't until the end of that year. so about nine months after the surgery where i finally called and i said, like something is severely wrong, like i'm in even worse pain than i was months ago . like i'm in even worse pain than i was months ago. i'm like i'm in even worse pain than i was months ago . i'm bleeding i was months ago. i'm bleeding all day. i and it's just getting more severe . and it's nothing more severe. and it's nothing like where i'm supposed to be after nine months and he finally had me come in and what happened was, is that i was having a vaginal stenosis and i had scar tissue internally all inside of my body and in the organ and my pelvic floor was collapsing on itself . and he said that there's itself. and he said that there's just no way to recover this and that. i would have to have a second surgery and i went to he referred me to two other surgeons that would assist him with a second surgery, and they both told me that there's no way to operate on me without worse
5:18 pm
complications or losing my life. and both surgeons refused to do a second surgery and i called and i said, i'm just confused because they're telling me something completely different than you told me. you told me that a second surgery would be quite simple. he said that quite simple. and he said that they were wrong and he kept trying to throw me around to different surgeons that would say to doing a second say yes to doing a second surgery. and and i told him i was like, i just don't think this right. like these. like this is right. like these. like these these surgeons these both of these surgeons were serious, that were really serious, that there's to really fix there's no way to really fix this because of all the damage and all the scar tissue . and and all the scar tissue. and then he stopped contact with me when i wouldn't do a second procedure. so that's absolutely awful . awful. >> and so where are you now with that? i mean, has it been resolved and i mean, was yeah, kind of where i'm at is really you just have to live with it.
5:19 pm
>> i, i met with different surgeons kind of across the us so i consulted really to just get their opinion on it. i talked to somebody in beverly hills, somebody in miami, new york and chicago , and they all york and chicago, and they all said the same thing. they said there's just no way that we would say yes to doing a second procedure on you , your body. procedure on you, your body. there's so much trauma there in the region, so much scarring internally. and it would just create a bunch more health problems for you like it did the first time. um, so , so really my first time. um, so, so really my only resolution in is just to kind of live with it. luckily, the pain has subsided , but the pain has subsided, but there's no other surgeon that's really willing to put me through another surgery. and i don't i'm not willing to go through it again either year. and it's just been it's been a really hard experience because as there are health issues that can arise from it being there and being closed , um, like one of the closed, um, like one of the things i didn't even know that i had to learn from other people
5:20 pm
is that what can happen is there's a partial rupture that can happen internally and that can happen internally and that can cause sepsis. but my can happen internally and that can cause sepsis . but my surgeon can cause sepsis. but my surgeon doesn't speak to me and so i'm not able to have like regular appointments to really check on it . it. >> so you're living with this now? you've come . does that mean now? you've come. does that mean that you have no sexual function, no feelings in that area at all, apart from pain ? area at all, apart from pain? >> yeah, no, there's really no sensation there either . >> yeah, no, there's really no sensation there either. i don't have sexual function or sex drive at and really and one of the harder parts of it is that there wasn't a lot of effort done into the to the external appearance. and so it looks kind of in between male and female , of in between male and female, which is really which is really difficult to live with, especially because it just it feels so abnormal, especially on your own body. and it kind of just created a new problem when i was trying to solve one of
5:21 pm
them from the beginning. and there's also very little sensation there either. and it's really uncomfortable . really uncomfortable. >> i'm so sorry to hear that , >> i'm so sorry to hear that, because that's i mean, that's what you're you're going to have to live with that. and so what would you what would you say to people? because in this country , people? because in this country, we're having mps thankfully standing up and saying, look, you're pushing kids who may well be gay into this procedure, into this medicalized procedure . what this medicalized procedure. what would you say to any parents who are listening to you now or watching you now and thinking , watching you now and thinking, well, my child is feels that they're in the wrong body because this is a phrase that people often use is, yeah , what people often use is, yeah, what i would what i really want people to know is that our bodies are not wrong . bodies are not wrong. >> that was something that was said in my family so much said to me in my family so much was that i had the right mind and the body at and there and the wrong body at and there was therapy my it was no therapy for my mind. it was no therapy for my mind. it was just medicine and was just all medicine and surgery correct the body . and surgery to correct the body. and even ten years into a transition , even ten years into a transition i , even ten years into a transition , i still am realising that i
5:22 pm
have mental health struggles that that i never solved from the beginning . so my biggest the beginning. so my biggest advice is just to take your time before your because these doctors will, will, will put your child on medication right away and it's something that you cannot go back on and i cannot reverse anything that's been done and i really just caution parents to just take their time pnor parents to just take their time prior ties therapy with your child if they're questioning their gender because that can come from so many different things mentally and it's really a disservice to them to not have them sit down and talk to somebody to figure out if transitioning is really the right option for them, especially as a child . it'll especially as a child. it'll take up so much of their childhood that they'll never get back and also just be really cautious about surgery, too, because because surgery is touted as being a lot lighter of a procedure than it is. and there's a really big lack of research on these surgeries. and a lot of doctors are have a ton
5:23 pm
of conflicting information with them. and it's extremely dangerous . and if that's dangerous. and if that's something that you're going to consider, really take your time. really take your time, because i was barely given any information on like i should have been . on like i should have been. >> well, listen, brianna, i'm so running out of time. so i've got to ask you, my final question is, you could go back to what is, if you could go back to what you were before and how you were before, would you go back or you know, yeah , to think about this know, yeah, to think about this a lot. >> and i think for me, i think if i were to go back, i would just take my time transitioning instead of believing that every single surgery or every all of this stuff was going to fix the problem. i think i would have had a lot more therapy through it i could have went about it and i could have went about this process in a lot better way rather than being rather than just being fast tracked it's tracked through it. but it's brianna, ivy, thank you so much for joining me. >> people to forjoining me. >> people to find out >> if people want to find out more you, do you more about you, do you have somewhere on socials that they can on? yes absolutely. >> so i'm on youtube as well.

5:29 pm
the small boats. so out of those, which one the four remaining are the most important to you? joining me now to to you? well, joining me now to discuss, communications officer for reem ibrahim, former for the iea reem ibrahim, former labour stephen pound. labour mp stephen pound. economist justin urquhart stewart and ann widdecombe . stewart and ann widdecombe. justin urquhart stewart, i'm going to start with you . yeah, going to start with you. yeah, well , is going to start with you. yeah, well, is going to be the most important one for you. what do you think? >> well, actually, it was the whole thing with this is actually giving people some idea of what's going of some confidence what's going to most his to happen next. most of his pledges things are pledges here are things that are outside inflation. pledges here are things that are outcan't inflation. pledges here are things that are outcan't control inflation. pledges here are things that are outcan't control inflationion. pledges here are things that are outcan't control inflation at. he can't control inflation at all. with to all. actually, with regard to nhs, lot of that's nhs, again, a lot of that's outside control. what's nhs, again, a lot of that's outsidto control. what's nhs, again, a lot of that's outsidto happenol. what's nhs, again, a lot of that's outsidto happen there. at'sin nhs, again, a lot of that's outsidto happen there.at'sin my going to happen there. so in my view, growing the economy view, it's growing the economy and that you need one word and for that you need one word confidence get the economy confidence to get the economy moving again. if you start doing that, from it that, other things move from it will out and money. will go out and spend money. >> to invest more >> we'll be able to invest more and get more tax income, and you'll get more tax income, which means the debt which eventually means the debt goes down. >> yet. >> but not yet. >> but not yet. >> not the boats. then >> but not not the boats. then >> but not not the boats. then >> ibrahim yeah. i mean, >> reem ibrahim yeah. i mean, i think the economic growth is absolutely the government's priority be the

this country, which has a huge effect on our infrastructure, our schools, in every possible aspect of our lives , of course. aspect of our lives, of course. so that's why i'm saying stop the boats. but sadly , he can't the boats. but sadly, he can't stop a pedalo , you know, being stop a pedalo, you know, being dnven stop a pedalo, you know, being driven with a you don't need me. >> listen, you should come join us us. >> us >> i think the voters are getting sick. >> we need glamour. >> we need some glamour. >> we need some glamour. >> sick of being >> they've been sick of being ignored, and not ignored, patronised and not listened is rishi listened to. and this is rishi reminds me of an old boyfriend that to promise me stuff that used to promise me stuff and never deliver. and, you know, you're like, promise know, you're like, you promise me. and he's failed on every level . level. >> he's actually known that he couldn't stop the boats. why would you say you're going to stop the boats when you know you literally have control over literally have no control over stopping literally, stopping them? and literally, i mean, had braverman mean, he's had braverman who left wouldn't far left because he wouldn't go far enough with the reforms that were stop the boats. were needed to stop the boats. robert has because robert jenrick has gone because even even one even though he wasn't even one of who would have, of the most who would have, he's not erg no not like the erg group. no absolutely. he's more central. yeah. and he is annoyed and has said, look, we're going to fail if you don't do it. what is wrong with classic?
5:45 pm
wrong with the classic? >> it's classic for your >> it's the classic rod for your own isn't it? i mean, the own back, isn't it? i mean, the reason is because he's reason he did it is because he's got these australian political strategists who in 10 strategists who sit in number 10 and australia they said they and in australia they said they were going stop boats and were going to stop the boats and they did because they had a handy islands just handy selection of islands just above could above australia and they could take people there and process them themselves take people there and process thendidn't themselves take people there and process then didn't haveemselves they didn't have the complications. think complications. whatever we think of rwanda, more complicated of rwanda, it's more complicated because further because it's obviously further away a lot people are away because a lot of people are slightly as well and sort slightly racist as well and sort of think rwanda of think that rwanda isn't a nice but i mean, people nice place. but i mean, people have level have said that about the level of that. so none of money we >> oh, so none of the money we have at the money spent have to look at the money spent on now it's actually is on rwanda now it's actually is it million and pending it 240 million and pending another 50 on its way. and don't forget we've still got the barges that are costing us 20 k a week . the money is like he's a week. the money is like he's writing blank checks. you know willy nilly. he has taken honestly , the backbone out of honestly, the backbone out of polity . polity. >> acas spineless spine . yes, >> acas spineless spine. yes, that's the word i think you were looking for. well, listen, this show is nothing without you and your welcome our your views. let's welcome our great voices. they're
