britain's news channel. >> i've got to start the show with an urgent warning. don't . with an urgent warning. don't. you dare get sick for a week. that's because militant junior doctors have gone on strike and they're gloating about it. a chap called doctor lawson hughes, a first yearjunior hughes, a first year junior doctor in yorkshire, tweeted that was now until after that he was now off until after christmas and god bless the bma people are dying. doctor, what are you talking to? your christmas turkey? more people will possibly die. he has since clarified his comments and said that consultants will keep patients safe for him. charming these strikes are political . the these strikes are political. the junior doctors want a 35% pay rise. they were happy to accept a pay rise. they were happy to accept a pay rise of around 12.4% from the woke snp government . but the woke snp government. but here in england, under a conservative government, they rejected a pay rise worth 3% on top of the average 8.8% increase. thousands pocketed this summer. here's what the co—chair of the bma's junior doctor committee had to say earlier , doctor robert lawrenson

i >> patients are suffering all year round , and every winter we year round, and every winter we hear the same horror stories coming out. time and time again. and the fact of the matter is the government has done nothing for the last 15 years to solve those winter crises. they seem to think that cutting our pay is going to make things better. >> well, here's what victoria atkins, secretary of state for health and social care, said in response. >> our nhs should be there for all of us when we need it. and what i'm worried about with this strike action, as we've seen in previous strike actions, we will have appointment cancelled. there have been more than a million appointments cancelled since industrial action started last year. i want us to reach a fair and reasonable settlements , fair and reasonable settlements, and i've managed to do that with consultants and with specialists , specialised doctors. i want to do the same with junior doctors , do the same with junior doctors, but then calling a strike and walking out of negotiations is not the way to secure. >> but you might remember that

doctor lawrenson, because here he is earlier on. okay he's talking about work ethic . talking about work ethic. >> even working day and night, 24 hours, seven days a week , 52 24 hours, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year . weeks a year. >> those words have come straight out of the back end of a cow. doctor lawrenson rabble rouse junior doctors into striking earlier this year. then disappeared on holiday. striking earlier this year. then disappeared on holiday . we here disappeared on holiday. we here at gb news managed to obtain a secret picture of doctor dolittle enjoying the sun . yeah, dolittle enjoying the sun. yeah, okay. all right, all right. that may not be real, but what is real is the lack of holidays for the millions of people crippled by cancelled appointments. now, this hard up junior doctor who can barely afford a tesco meal deal can barely afford a tesco meal deal, reportedly bought a £484,000 london property without a mortgage. he is reportedly a director of a multi—million pound investment firm as well, and went to one of the most prestigious boarding schools in the country, sevenoaks, which

charges fees of up to 46,500 pounds a year for some students. gb news managed to obtain another undercover picture of doctor lawrenson just chilling in his home. ah, there we go . in his home. ah, there we go. look obviously again , that's look obviously again, that's a joke. in reality, he's of course burning money to keep warm. these days. it's an absolute classic. look, we need junior doctors . all joking aside now, doctors. all joking aside now, okay? we need junior doctors , okay? we need junior doctors, and they should be fairly paid . and they should be fairly paid. i think they should get a pay rise . a bit of one, not least rise. a bit of one, not least because we are losing loads of our top medical talent to australia and other nations because they get paid more there and they have a better work life balance. we have to, as a country, respond to market forces. we can't be losing our best to other nations , but it is best to other nations, but it is a question of what is fair for everyone and the nhs bigwigs have to explain why people like diversity managers can earn three, 4 or 5 times what a junior doctor earns, and maybe these junior doctors on the

picket lines should turn their fury on their own bosses as well. people in charge of egregious nhs waste instead of ordinary vulnerable members of the public score political the public to score political points again against what they view as a toxic government . view as a toxic tory government. is it fair that as many as 2 million outpatient appointments and operations have been cancelled as a result of nhs strikes already this year? is it fair that the a&e department at cheltenham general hospital is closed until 8 am. on saturday? as a result of this? is it fair that elderly people will stay in their own homes this christmas because they're afraid of getting and not receiving getting ill and not receiving care? it isn't fair. and care? no, it isn't fair. and some of those militant junior doctors out on strike have been qualified for less than a year. they striking and people who they are striking and people who have worked all their lives paid taxes all their lives , paid for taxes all their lives, paid for the nhs, all their lives are the ones paying the price now. and i don't think that's fair. let's get the thoughts now of my panel get the thoughts now of my panel. author and broadcaster christine hamilton us. christine hamilton joins us. businessman activist adam businessman and activist adam brooks and journalist and

broadcaster benjamin butterworth. christine i'll start with you. should the junior doctors get back to work? >> course they should. it's >> of course they should. it's absolutely what absolutely grotesque. what they're doing. their motto they're doing. and their motto is patients first. well, is put patients first. well, pull other one. they claim pull the other one. they claim that they are doing this to save the nhs . i mean, insufferable the nhs. i mean, insufferable arrogance of people like whatever his name is . that was whatever his name is. that was a bit unfair, by the way. putting that picture of him, it's a joke . i know it's a joke, but bit of a, um, it is absolutely ludicrous. it is grossly political . the bma are not political. the bma are not a union. they're a sort of they're a political sort of semi marxist organisation . it stands for organisation. it stands for bloody minded activists . bloody minded activists. frankly, the bma , um, what frankly, the bma, um, what should happen is the trouble is that the salary negotiations should not be done nationally. each hospital should be individually funded , each individually funded, each hospital should be able to do their own negotiations. the fault lies with the structure of the nhs. but no, they should get back to work . people will die back to work. people will die and is it immoral and they should care about that. >> it is immoral and it's pure

greed . um, they're being offered greed. um, they're being offered above inflation on pay rises. there are millions in this country that haven't had pay rises for years . there are rises for years. there are hundreds of thousands , if not hundreds of thousands, if not millions of self—employed that are still paying off covid loans and losses like myself over the last 3 or 4 years. now they must put patients first. it's going to cost lives. these unions , as to cost lives. these unions, as christine said, are full of marxists and anti—tory activists i >> -- >> but it 5mm >> but it isn't pure greed . it's >> but it isn't pure greed. it's greed and politics. >> there's going to be a&e departments that are going to be shut because of this. it's disgrace. >> benjamin, you're chuckling away there. people are dying. >> no, just amused at the >> no, i'm just amused at the idea all our doctors are idea that all our doctors are closet marxists. you know, i've got that all the got a feeling that not all the bma are. i've got a feeling that these people you flagged that that, uh, bma boss went to a private school. i'm amazed to see you criticising private schools. what transformation schools. what a transformation attitude is attitude that is. the fact is that you know, junior doctors and doctors in general, medical

staff general, had staff in general, have had a serious pay cut over the last 13 years. that means that their hours have got longer. the quality of our hospitals have got worse, their got worse, and their remuneration for their hard work. and incredible hard work. and it's incredible hard work, just when they're out work, not just when they're out there in hospitals helping people, but the years of people, but the many years of training longer than seven training a lot longer than seven for lot of doctors , they for a lot of these doctors, they work incredibly hard and they should be paid better. and one of the key problems we have is that we're losing our doctors to countries australia, to countries like australia, to canada. they going? canada. and why are they going? they're because they're they're going because they're not paid properly. >> partly because >> they're going partly because they're implement they're allowed to implement the kind that lot of kind of system that a lot of militant and union militant doctors and union barons will not allow us to enforce in country, and enforce in this country, and have allowed us to enforce have not allowed us to enforce in this country years. and in this country for years. and so up with system so you can end up with a system over that means that you over there that means that you can pay people higher wages, you can pay people higher wages, you can better quality can have a better quality of health and a better work health care and a better work life balance. health care and a better work life in ilance. health care and a better work life in myce. health care and a better work life in my view, what is odd is >> in my view, what is odd is that why don't we get these strikes private sector? strikes in the private sector? we do it's always in we don't, do we? it's always in the sector, which the public sector, which indicates that they are

indicates to me that they are politically motivated especially. can i just point that in >> can i just point out that in the couple of years, the last couple of years, private sector salaries have risen faster than public risen much faster than public sector the sector salaries? the average the average in the last average was double in the last 12 mind the sort of 12 months, mind you, the sort of pensions these people get pensions that these people get that in private that people in the private sector do not get. >> well, if you're 40 or 50, you'll be still be on a good pension scheme. >> tell you, people >> but let me tell you, people joining public service jobs who are my age or ten years are around my age or ten years youngen are around my age or ten years younger, get terrible younger, they get terrible pensions their pensions compared with their parents, pensions compared with their payour, pensions compared with their payour age that went into the of your age that went into the pubuc i of your age that went into the public i think it's time public sector, i think it's time to striking. to ban striking. >> anyone that protects, >> for anyone that protects, serves or treats the public because lives going to be because lives are going to be lost. during lost. and it's funny, during covid, of people covid, the same sort of people were a mask, if it saves were where a mask, if it saves one life, yet what they're going to do here over the next few daysis to do here over the next few days is are going cost days is are going to cost hundreds, if not thousands of lives and no one wants to talk about i find peculiarly >> what i find peculiarly horrendous about particular horrendous about this particular strike timing. why do it? strike is the timing. why do it? over christmas and new year? over christmas and the new year? >> maximum damage , which it all >> maximum damage, which it all goes back to my view and your view that they are politically motivated because

motivated strikes because they're at they're understaffed at christmas. there's lot they're understaffed at ch pressure there's lot they're understaffed at ch pressure at there's lot they're understaffed at ch pressure at this there's lot they're understaffed at ch pressure at this theriof lot they're understaffed at ch pressure at this theriof the pl of pressure at this time of the yeah of pressure at this time of the year. is deliberately year. it is deliberately designed to cause maximum damage. benjamin, would give them damage. 35% njamin, would give them damage. 35% njanrise? ould give them damage. 35% njan rise? because give them damage. 35% njan rise? because that's hem a 35% pay rise? because that's what they're after. >> well, if they got that pay rise call it pay rise, rise and you call it a pay rise, it would actually just put them on same pay that they were on the same pay that they were when labour government left when the labour government left office. quite office. right. it's not quite nonsense. well it that's what nonsense. well it is that's what that's what if had that's what if they'd had inflationary rises equivalent rpi. >> think that's been >> and i think that's been debunked anyway . uh, that 35% debunked anyway. uh, that 35% figure. look what do you give it to them. >> well, i think 35% in one go is clearly not plausible. >> right. >> right. >> so come on, let's do not back that. aware. put a number on that. i'm aware. put a number on it because look, you know, obviously was you poking obviously i was you know, poking a at doctor robert a bit of fun at doctor robert lawrence in there and all of that stuff. but, you know, there is a serious point here. i don't want us to be situation want us to be in a situation where we have an epic industrial scale brain drain other scale brain drain to other countries, happening. scale brain drain to other countriis, happening. scale brain drain to other countriis, wanthappening. scale brain drain to other countri i 5, want usipening. scale brain drain to other countri i 5, want us to ning. scale brain drain to other countri i 5, want us to be g. scale brain drain to other countriis, want us to be in right? i don't want us to be in that situation. there is going to have be some wiggle room to have to be some wiggle room here. they've accepted something

like in like a 12.4% pay rise up in scotland, they've knocked scotland, and they've knocked back something equate back something that would equate to in the uk. in to about that in the uk. in england, i do does england, which i do think does lend to thinking that lend itself to thinking that maybe political, but there maybe it is political, but there we go. what payroll, what percentage pay rise would you give clearly i'm not give them? well, clearly i'm not going to pretend negotiate on going to pretend to negotiate on behalf junior on behalf of junior doctors on your sofa. >> e i think that >> but look, i think that doctors the bottom the doctors at the bottom of the scale should a bigger pay scale should get a bigger pay rise than those at the top, because the amount of money that they're when come they're earning when they come out, you can start out, you know, you can start at like that's not a lot like 30 k, and that's not a lot of money for someone that's spent years of training and it's certainly places like the certainly in places like the south london wouldn't go south east or london wouldn't go far okay, k, are we >> okay, 50 k, what are we talking? on. talking? go on. >> i'm not going to play your game. it's not you know, it's not deal or no deal. >> one of problems is that not deal or no deal. >> word>f problems is that not deal or no deal. >> word or problems is that not deal or no deal. >> word or the)roblems is that not deal or no deal. >> word or the two ems is that not deal or no deal. >> word or the two words that not deal or no deal. >> word or the two words junior the word or the two words junior doctor covers a such a range of experience etcetera, experience and time, etcetera, etcetera. very etcetera. so it's very, very misleading and all these figures that quoted is somebody that are quoted is it somebody who's is it somebody who's had a year, is it somebody who's had a year, is it somebody who's had a year, is it somebody who's had eight years experience? unless you're a consultant, you're a junior doctor. very, doctor. so i think it's very, very confusing. >> talk these people

>> we talk about these people as though us time, though they owe us their time, as though they owe us their incredible self—discipline. they don't. to paid don't. they're there to be paid properly for their incredible talent anymore. >> okay. >> okay. >> all right, all right, all right. going to draw a right. we're going to draw a line it. we're going to line under it. we're going to draw a under job draw a line under that job around say the minimum around and say pay the minimum wage. the emails have been flooding heck of flooding in on this a heck of a lot. vaiews@gbnews.com. sorry patrick, you're lot. vaiews@gbnews.com. sorry patrick, them, you're lot. vaiews@gbnews.com. sorry patrick, them, please u're lot. vaiews@gbnews.com. sorry patrick, them, please tell mps dissing them, please tell mps not to accept a pay rise either because which one i'd because i know which one i'd give to you. that's from give it to you. that's from carol. enough. carol, keep carol. fair enough. carol, keep your in. massively your views coming in. massively strong either of strong views on either side of this, either side of it. i'll keep going. so throughout the show to come though, show still to come though, should be made should asylum seekers be made to survive? survive on survive? made to survive on £1.25 time we got £1.25 a day? is it time we got tough to deter visitors to tough to deter new visitors to hotel britain? our very own nigel true of nigel farage, the true king of the jungle, returns to show to weigh in on that. donald weigh in on that. and donald trump being removed from the ballot he ballot in colorado. how will he survive? up next, in the survive? but up next, in the head to head, barton has head to head, joey barton has lashed out and says that we live in a culture of snowflakes. did lions mary earps lions goalkeeper mary earps deserve win sports deserve to win sports personality of the year, or is

the controversy today, slamming the controversy today, slamming the awards for honouring someone that hasn't won a sausage. his words and continuing to win before ronnie o'sullivan and frankie dettori. well, that's just madness to me, both almost genius like in their respective fields. that's the world we live in. so tonight i am asking, was earps a worthy winner of sports personality of the year or has she been rewarded for failure? let me know your thoughts . email let me know your thoughts. email now gb views gb news. com tweet me at gb news. and while you're there, make sure you go and vote in our poll. i'll bring you the results very shortly. but a debate this i'm joined by england's greatest ever goalkeeper peter shilton, broadcaster, anime, manga and author and journalist peter lloyd. much for lloyd. thank you very much for a bumper edition of head to bumper edition of the head to head head. peter, i've got head to head. peter, i've got to start you think start with you. do you think that she's a worthy winner of sports personality year? sports personality of the year? as tokenism? um, no . as this tokenism? um, no. >> she got the most votes and that's what it's all about. you know, the public voted for her. and, um, at the end of the day,

you know, i think women's football in the last 2 or 3 years has come on leaps and bounds. but the goalkeeping position was always very weak to me . the weakest part of the me. the weakest part of the women's game . and i think mary women's game. and i think mary has done a lot to elevate that. you know, i like her style. she's shouts at her she's she's shouts at her defence. you know, she she encourages people. she gives a few rollicking shows, a lot of passion and i think, you know, thatis passion and i think, you know, that is a big part of goalkeeper going and, uh, yeah , you going to me. and, uh, yeah, you know, obviously i think andrew pierce said this morning and he show, you know, that she hasn't won anything but um, at the end of the day, you know, the public felt that she was the best choice. >> all right. i'm going to go to the other peter now. peter lloyd, what do you think? is this outrageous tokenism? this just outrageous tokenism? um yeah, i think it is. >> and i think peter is wrong on that because he's always quite naive to believe that the bbc is going to be really transparent and not be doing some kind of jiggery pokery and not be doing some kind of jiggery pokery behind the scenes in order to engineer their own

outcome, suspect is outcome, which i suspect is probably what happened . all the probably what happened. all the people behind sports personality of the all have an agenda of the year all have an agenda to promote women's football. this was foregone conclusion . this was a foregone conclusion. i say leak the data , show us who i say leak the data, show us who voted in what numbers. okay anna mae mangan now it's your turn. >> you look at the likes of stuart broad, who's an absolute titan . ronnie o'sullivan, for titan. ronnie o'sullivan, for goodness sake. i mean, these are people that have won people that have really won things and really, know, set things and really, you know, set record odds, mary earps record odds, etc. mary earps isn't that is she ? isn't in that league, is she? >> who took the public vote for? >> who took the public vote for? >> they voted for mary, queen of stops, as she's known. she's an inspiration and i'll tell you something, joey barton is such a has been that the kids i know who love football all know who mary earps is. not none of them have got a clue who joey barton is. so what? what does anyone care says? he's so care what he says? he's so offensive and he's forgetting that women's football is so popular now among boys and girls and adults. and she's a really worthy winner. people have

dissed her so much after the world cup final. admittedly, they didn't win, but what an achievement to get there . they achievement to get there. they didn't even make shirt for her. and when after lobbying, they did make her shirt, it sold out in minutes. so for god's in five minutes. so for god's sake, let's give her credit where credit is due. she's popular. she's brilliant. she's inspirational. mary . inspirational. go, mary. >> all right, peter shilton. i mean, she didn't never into mean, she didn't never got into any team. you played him, any men's team. you played him, was she. >> no joking aren't you. >> no joking aren't you. >> but there's a there's a big difference between the man's game and the woman's game. nobody's denying that. um, but at same time, the woman's at the same time, the woman's game a long way. you game has come a long way. you know, i don't think we can start accusing of cheating. accusing the bbc of cheating. i think that would be, uh, quite, uh, quite bad . really? uh, quite bad. really? >> you. >> you. >> i think that really? >> i think that really? >> you don't think we can accuse that? accuse the bbc? well, this same organisation. okay. this is the same organisation that wouldn't hamas a terrorist wouldn't call hamas a terrorist organisation. it allowed organisation. and it allowed gary to breach gary lineker to breach impartiality rules. all the time. they cannot be trusted . time. they cannot be trusted. >> no. well

>> no. well >> all right. stop, stop, stop . >> all right. stop, stop, stop. all of you. all of you. anna, i'll go to you now. go on. yeah. i'm saying so we're shouting cheat now because a woman has woi'i. >> won. >> quite rightly won an award. i mean, joey barton has no job, so why is he criticising somebody who has? >> oh, peter lloyd come back. come that. because come back to that. because obviously some obviously you've made some strong, allegations strong, strong allegations there about bbc and i about about the bbc and so i mean, you is this just the mean, you know, is this just the fact that maybe blokes now can't tolerate a female winner 100. tolerate a female winner100. >> no, i think it's i think >> no, no, i think it's i think it's just because you've got a lot of, um, feminist activists, a lot of man hating feminists at the bbc who are really desperate to push this women's football thing. it's not about thing. and it's not really about football, about invading football, it's about invading male space. they hate that men are worshipped in football. they hate that it's cultural envy gone nuts. this is their reparations . reparations. >> all right. peter shilton, i can't i'm trying to think about some of the historic sports personality of the year winners . personality of the year winners. i think the year david beckham

won it, i don't think he won anything . certainly at an anything. certainly at an international level. michael owens won it. he didn't win anything in international level. uh, either . anything in international level. uh, either. so i suppose there is form for this, isn't there? peter shilton yeah, there's form , yeah, of course there is. >> and it's a public vote and that's what it's supposed to be anyway . beth mead won it last anyway. beth mead won it last year. anyway. beth mead won it last year . um, anyway. beth mead won it last year. um, because anyway. beth mead won it last year . um, because obviously he year. um, because obviously he was involved in the england team that won the euros, you know, so women's football is on the up. you know, there's a big, massive support out there for it for many for many ways really. i think it's because, you know, they see you know it's a lot clear cleaner than english football. there's not quite as much, you know, shouting at the referees although it is coming into the women's game because the pressure is getting greater. um, but i think overall, yeah, i think the public obviously love the women's game and, and their pubuc the women's game and, and their public has grown. >> anna, can i just ask you on

this one, do you think that the women's game has been quite forced onto people massively over promoted ? we've had female over promoted? we've had female footballers operating as pundits in game, and you don't in the male game, and you don't see that reciprocated that much the way round , you know, the other way round, you know, is there not a big woke diversity agenda when comes diversity agenda when it comes to pumping the women's game to pumping out the women's game to pumping out the women's game to us? >> well, when i go to wembley to watch women's teams play, watch the women's teams play, it's very crowd it's a big, very big crowd there. tickets and there. no free tickets and everyone's along. so no everyone's cheering along. so no . and this win for her is not just about her achievements. yeah, sure. they win yeah, sure. they didn't win the world final, but i don't world cup final, but i don't remember men's team in remember the men's team being in the final any time the world cup final any time recently. not only that, recently. and not only that, it's about her personality as recently. and not only that, it's aipeopler personality as recently. and not only that, it's aipeopler perscto lity as recently. and not only that, it's aipeopler perscto thatis recently. and not only that, it's aipeopler perscto that and well. people warm to that and it's whole zeitgeist it's about the whole zeitgeist diecast new game. uh, so diecast of a new game. uh, so yeah, i just think the other peter peter lloyd, is it? so i don't know your surname. i think what he said about men owning football. i think you're a dinosaur for peter lloyd. >> final word you. are you >> final word to you. are you a dinosaur? do you think that we'll ever see another straight white of sports white male winner of sports personality again ? personality of the year again? >> no, of course not.

>> no, no, of course not. because hateful people like anna or these man hating feminists , or these man hating feminists, they won't allow it. oh and by they won't allow it. oh and by the way, anna, you're the eldest on the panel to me, but you're the dinosaur. >> oh, i'm not. my thinking is not as old as yours. so that's interesting, isn't it? how you can be younger and still so old fashioned. >> okay, a good time to draw a line under things. thank you very much, everybody. a mega head to head to head there. and i'm quite glad that i didn't have to break up a fist fight in the studio. who do you agree the studio. so who do you agree with is joey barton lashes out and says, we live in culture and says, we live in a culture of snowflakes. did mary earps deserve sports deserve to win? sports personality year on personality of the year simon on twitter absolutely not. the twitter says absolutely not. the shortlist award shortlist for this award was appalling. far more appalling. there are far more people who deserved it. tom on twitter says obviously yes because voted for because more people voted for her than else. i'll her than anyone else. tom i'll be honest with you. i mean, that is tonight, is the best argument tonight, isn't public vote isn't it? it was a public vote and won the public vote. so, and she won the public vote. so, you know, there that. on you know, there is that. mike on twitter since wendy, we twitter says since wendy, we become that rewards become a nation that rewards loser is when we have plenty of

winners that don't win awards. well, there i suppose well, there you go. i suppose i'm and i've not won an i'm a loser and i've not won an award there we go. award either. so there we go. your verdict is now in. 23% of you she deserves to you agree that she deserves to win, of you say that win, while 77% of you say that she did not. so the people have spoken, although not the ones she did not. so the people have spokvotedthough not the ones she did not. so the people have spokvoted forjgh not the ones she did not. so the people have spokvoted for her. lot the ones she did not. so the people have spokvoted for her. coming>nes she did not. so the people have spokvoted for her. coming up, who voted for her. coming up, some celebs will be sweating this where jeffrey this christmas where jeffrey epstein's little black book, due to revealed in new year. to be revealed in the new year. the lawyer who's represented eight epstein's victims eric eight of epstein's victims eric fidel and the top investigative journalist vicky ward, who led the charge against ghislaine maxwell . they are going to be on maxwell. they are going to be on this show to give their expert insight. but first, should asylum seekers get an allowance of just £1.25 a day, is it time we made britain even less attractive to the schools of migrants on the continent? our very own? nigel farage, the true king of the jungle, returns to our show to react to that. and donald trump being declared ineligible to run for us president by a colorado court . president by a colorado court.

don't

eamonn and isabel monday to thursday from six till 930. >> now, with the cost of housing migrants rocketing to an eye—watering £8 million a day, the government has slashed the daily allowance for asylum seekers to £1.25, a move that refugee charities have described as unfathomable, with warnings that it could leave migrants destitute . well, i'm joined now destitute. well, i'm joined now by gb news star nigel farage. nigel, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. look, should they be getting any

allowance at all? >> well, look, they're getting accommodation and they're getting three square meals a day. they're free day. they're getting free dentistry . something very few dentistry. something very few brits get these days on the brits can get these days on the nhs. they're getting medical treatment. um you know, many of them have turned up without passports . they've travelled passports. they've travelled through illegal trafficking gangs. why should we give them fag money on top ? fag money on top? >> okay. and what would you say to refugee charities who claim this will leave them destitute? well i mean, if they'd had come to britain to and be accepted through a legal process as people who have got a right to be here as refugees and then go out and get jobs and work and, and make themselves better off. >> well, that's all fine and dandy, but the state shouldn't be handing this out. and the problem is, you know, that we are being regarded as treasure island. know, know if island. you know, people know if they cross the channel they they can cross the channel they will get looked after. they will be work in the illegal be able to work in the illegal economy at the same time, which

to many them are already to many of them are already doing. the numbers are doing. and the numbers are impossible . and there is a clear impossible. and there is a clear majority of british people who do not want this to continue . so do not want this to continue. so fine. the refugee charity doesn't say what they like. they are standing up for a minority view in this country. and they of course all have a hidden agenda, which is they are all absolute trotskyites. they don't believe in a nation state, they don't believe in boundaries. they believe we're all global citizens . they don't believe in citizens. they don't believe in borders . i mean, that's the real borders. i mean, that's the real agenda here. >> yeah, i would argue as well, nigel, that they don't tend to believe in the personal safety of every single individual in this country . why is nobody at this country. why is nobody at frontline in politics standing up to some of these so—called refugee charities ? refugee charities? >> it is astonishing. you know, i mean, i've tried to fight some of these people. the trouble is they're well funded. uh, if you make the slightest mistake, they get their lawyers onto you immediately . get their lawyers onto you immediately. um, but i've get their lawyers onto you immediately . um, but i've done immediately. um, but i've done my to expose what for

my best to expose what care for calais others been calais and others have been doing over the course of the last few years. and the surprising thing is, there's virtually nobody in parliament virtually nobody in parliament virtually nobody in parliament virtually nobody out of all those 651 mps better stand up and say these things . and that's and say these things. and that's why we now have a disconnect between westminster and the country. on illegal immigration, on legal immigration, this gap is even bigger than the one we saw in the run up to the brexit referendum on membership of the european union. london in the politicians . most of the media politicians. most of the media are completely out of touch where the country is. we are an open hearted, generous nation far more so actually, historically, than any of our european neighbours. what we don't like is having the mickey taken out of us. yeah, absolutely. >> absolutely. right. and, um, you talk about our european neighbours over in france. marine le pen, of course, has handed president macron somewhat of a humiliating defeat. so

macron was forced to toughen up his flagship immigration bill in order to get it through the french parliament. so under the new legislation, immigration quotas be reintroduced and quotas will be reintroduced and migrants france will face migrants in france will face tougher conditions to get residency permits. look is this another sign of the tide turning, do you think, on this open border mayhem, what do you reckon ? reckon? >> oh, something very big is happening. i mean macron last night completely u—turned on pretty much everything he's ever stood for as the great modern liberal. you know, schengen supporter and all the rest of it. you know, his party bowed to the le pen agenda and the the marine le pen agenda and the centre ground of opinion in france. it led to a split in his own party, a ministerial resignation. but he thinks you see ah, now that i've done this , see ah, now that i've done this, the threat of le pen will diminish. well, let me draw a parallel. when i was called a fruitcake and a lunatic and

other things , too, but daring to other things, too, but daring to advocate that we should have a vote on leaving the european union. david cameron thought, right, if i give a referendum , right, if i give a referendum, we'd have shot the farage fox. all he did was legitimise my position that it was something we should be debating . and i we should be debating. and i think marine le pen and she looks pretty jaunty there, doesn't she? in these pictures you're showing, i think all of this says to me, and i've said it before, but i'll say it again she will one day be the president of france. it's coming. >> look, nigel, i wanted to ask you this for a little while, actually , as a way for you to actually, as a way for you to get out of the jungle. how do you see this panning out? okay so next election looks like it's going to go to labour. i don't think anyone realistically believes that going to end believes that we're going to end up much tougher up seeing much tougher border control. reform control. there possibly reform might well at the next might do well at the next election. are the british public going to have to wait something like five or maybe ten years to

get a proper force in politics that actually deals with immigration? many people will think that's just too late. the country will have gone by that. >> here's the irony that brexit britain is now doing worse than the other countries. you know, wilders is probably going to become the prime minister in the netherlands. take netherlands. le pen will take over france . the eu itself, over in france. the eu itself, overnight has announced a new migration deal. doing what i told them they should do back in 2015, in the european parliament. i to them, parliament. i said to them, people crossing the mediterranean who have no right to should be sent to be refugees should be sent back. the eu today say they will allow member states to do that . allow member states to do that. and here we are floundering, languishing . and the most languishing. and the most interesting thing that happened interesting thing that happened in uk politics, whilst i was in the jungle was the generic resignation. he resigned as immigration minister, basically saying that this government is more worried about upsetting people on the international stage by being seen to be in breach of the united nations 1951 convention, or indeed the

echr. it's more worried about that, how it looks on the world stage than it is about delivering the promises it made in the run up to the last election and the will of the british people. so yes, i'm afraid we are way behind the curve on this and it's going to take a long time to sort out people talk about globalist agenda, don't they? >> in a globalist elite and then right front of very eyes right in front of our very eyes and noses, we can see people who are, as you've just said, there, more about annoying more concerned about annoying people on the international stage. and they are about the people who actually vote for them . you just wonder how people them. you just wonder how people can continue to question that. but look from france to mainland europe as well, beyond france to america. where donald trump america. now where donald trump has been declared ineligible to run us president by run for us president by colorado's supreme court, it ruled that he engaged in an insurrection because of his involvement in the january 6th riots. nigel the anti—democratic riots. nigel the anti —democratic attempts riots. nigel the anti—democratic attempts to stop trump's return to the white house, getting out of hand now , this happened

of hand now, this happened before . before. >> it happened before in 1860, ten southern states disbarred a man called abraham lincoln from being on the ballot. but he still won the presidency. but that happened as america was preparing for a bloody civil war of the loss of three quarters of a million lives. my fear is that the way these political appointees have behaved in colorado last night, it sends a very bad message, which is we have decided to remove from you your democratic rights to have the option to vote for a candidate you may choose. and by the way, this applies in march in colorado, the primary for the republicans takes place in march . so this is much more imminent than in november 2024. general election. and in doing so,

they've given succour to states like maine, maine will make a similar decision, or at least have a vote on a similar outcome over the course of the next few days, we could finish up with lots of democratic states, remove trump from the ballot, and that is why the american supreme court has to forget about christmas holidays. the american supreme court needs to rule very quickly . on article 14 rule very quickly. on article 14 of the us constitution , of the us constitution, something written in the wake of the civil war that has never, ever been used for political ends , ever. the american supreme ends, ever. the american supreme court must put a stop to this. because, you know what? if you remove people's right to vote and you force them to take other measures , and what happened on measures, and what happened on january the 6th will look like a sunday afternoon tea party. unless, unless we get back some sense of perspective in america , sense of perspective in america, what has happened is truly appalling . but you know what?

appalling. but you know what? rather like abraham lincoln in 1860, all it's doing is making macdonald more and more popular. >> nigel, thank you very, very much. that was nigel farage there. you can email in on any of that. you agree. do you disagree? vaiews@gbnews.com. get in touch. i want to hear from it's still popping off from you. it's still popping off in inbox, by the way, about in the inbox, by the way, about those doctors strikes. those junior doctors strikes. i've had amy who's been on. he says patrick junior says patrick these junior doctors, they are essentially helping to die over the helping people to die over the christmas but then i've christmas period. but then i've got opposite got the polar opposite one here from gary . gary says, look, from gary. gary says, look, patrick, just give them a pay rise and the problem goes away. don't they deserve they save don't they deserve it? they save lives. a heck of lot coming lives. so a heck of a lot coming up. keir starmer's record as up. but keir starmer's record as a lawyer now under the a lawyer is now under the microscope. the way, microscope. and by the way, expect to get very, very expect this to get very, very tasty in the run up to the next election. that he election. it's revealed that he helped of britain's helped free some of britain's most dangerous criminals, who actually to on commit more actually went to on commit more crimes. trust labour crimes. so can we trust labour to be tough on crime? i tee off on next, on that shortly. but next, jeffrey epstein's little black book to be published in

book is set to be published in the new year. but with celebrities to be named and celebrities set to be named and shamed , who and what shamed, who are they and what doesit shamed, who are they and what does it mean for prince andrew? top lawyer who's represented eight of the victims of jeffrey epstein? arick fudali and investigative journalist, as well , who helped to expose well, who helped to expose ghislaine maxwell's crimes ? they ghislaine maxwell's crimes? they are live next.

now dozens of jeffrey epstein's associates are in for a new year's nightmare when they are named in court documents set to be released in january after a ruling by a us judge earlier this week. up to 177 people are expected to be exposed in the evidence, which was used in a defamation case brought by prince andrew's accuser , prince andrew's accuser, virginia roberts, against epstein's co—conspirator ghislaine maxwell, and prince andrew himself faces yet more embarrassing revelations , with embarrassing revelations, with the documents set to reveal details of his alleged

encounters with johanna sjoberg, who has accused the royal of groping her at epstein's new york mansion in 2001. buckingham palace had previously said the allegations are categorically untrue, but there will be a heck of lot of very, very worried of a lot of very, very worried people in new year. well, people in the new year. well, i'm joined now by investigative journalist ward, who journalist vicky ward, who profiled jeffrey epstein for vanity fair magazine in 2003 and presented the much acclaimed chasing ghislaine podcast series. and i've also got lawyer eric fedderly, who represented eight of epstein's victims, both of you. thank you very, very much. vicky. can i start with you?i much. vicky. can i start with you? i mean, a lot of very nervous people out there. what do you expect to come out of these revelations at the moment ? these revelations at the moment? >> well , you know, i these revelations at the moment? >> well, you know, i think we're going to learn, patrick, more details about the ecosystem that enabled jeffrey epstein to perpetrate at these sex crimes ,

perpetrate at these sex crimes, at the scale, um , that he did. at the scale, um, that he did. you know, virginia roberts is at the heart of, um , everything the heart of, um, everything really . and, you know, and she really. and, you know, and she was sort of the missing ghost, if you want, at in the ghislaine maxwell trial . um, in that at maxwell trial. um, in that at the names of a lot of the people, i think that we are going to be unsealed in january . going to be unsealed in january. um, were there on the page up on the screen, in the courtroom. and yet they were blacked out and you could tell that they had come from, um, papers around virginia . jeffrey. but she was virginia. jeffrey. but she was not there. she was not called as a witness in that case. so i think, um, it's going to be really, really , uh, important really, really, uh, important and interesting to see the name, she reveals. i do hear that there's one academic, uh , whose there's one academic, uh, whose name may take everybody by surprise, but i don't know any more than that one academic

whose name might take everybody by surprise . by surprise. >> that'll get tongs wedding. i might return back to that. but, eric, i'll bring you in here now, look, are we on the brink of discovering that there is actually a kind of shadowy, elitist paedophile ring here? i mean, is this what's about to happen? >> i'm not sure i would go that far, but what is known in the united states and around the world is that jeffrey epstein, surrounded very surrounded himself with very powerful and influential people. thatis powerful and influential people. that is not a mystery. that is how jeffrey epstein perpetrated this scheme. he would use pictures himself with very pictures of himself with very famous powerful people famous and powerful people around the globe to intimidate his victims . we've heard his victims. we've heard rumours, seen names , we've rumours, we've seen names, we've seen there's seen lawsuits. so there's certainly that certainly no question that he did surround himself with powerful very influential powerful and very influential people the world. and at people around the world. and at this point, it is still unclear as to what will be revealed. whose names, whose names will not that list. but one not be on that list. but one thing is for sure, i get asked a lot. you know who was jeffrey epstein? you know, trafficking these women for? and the answer , these women for? and the answer, to most people's surprise, it

was primarily remember, was him primarily. remember, jeffrey epstein would have multiple victims per day for many, years . so i think many, many years. so i think people sometimes are often shocked learn that really shocked to learn that really this sex trafficking scheme was really about epstein's own depraved gratification. while there may be other people in the orbit, it really was about epstein and vicki. >> a lot of people think, look, ghislaine maxwell obviously, you know, has done some incredibly unspeakable the looks unspeakable things by the looks of profiled , uh, of things you profiled, uh, jeffrey epstein back in 2003. is there actually some logic to the idea that, you know, a woman is serving hard time here for a lot more crimes committed by a lot of other very powerful men ? i of other very powerful men? i absolutely, patrick. >> i mean, what what ghislaine maxwell did, as you say is, um , maxwell did, as you say is, um, speakable and people find the idea of a woman doing this to other women, particularly horrific. but it was men who rich, powerful men as eric just said, who enabled jeffrey

epstein . the names of these guys epstein. the names of these guys keep on, uh, coming out, uh, in more and more litigation, most recently , we've had the banks jp recently, we've had the banks jp morgan and deutsche bank litigation against epstein victims . i litigation against epstein victims. i you litigation against epstein victims . i you know, when litigation against epstein victims. i you know, when again , victims. i you know, when again, going back to the ghislaine maxwell trial, there were names that i didn't know had been connected with jeffrey epstein, fidel castro. there was a picture him with the musician picture of him with the musician itzhak perlman . you know, these itzhak perlman. you know, these are john glenn . you know, these are john glenn. you know, these names came up in that courtroom . names came up in that courtroom. we don't know, uh, if they were just they shook his hand. we don't know what the connection was. but i do think that virginia roberts, what is going to come out in these unsealed filings should give us a clearer , maybe more horrific picture of what went on. >> i mean, it is going to be kind of morbidly fascinating. eric, we're a little bit pressed for time, but how much does prince to sweat on prince andrew have to sweat on this? you think? this? do you think? >> i think we've already

>> well, i think we've already heard the allegations heard a lot of the allegations against andrew. of against prince andrew. of course. andrew, prince andrew course. mr andrew, prince andrew settled case with miss settled his case with miss giuffre. not really sure giuffre. so i'm not really sure there's much out there. right. he already settled his case. that done. you can read that case is done. you can read into settlement. as you into the settlement. as you know, much you'd like or know, as much as you'd like or not. not there's too not. i'm not sure there's too much, you sweating, quote much, you know, sweating, quote unquote, he must do as so unquote, that he must do as so much has already been alleged against i don't how against him. i don't know how much there. much more is out there. >> look, both of you, i want to do this again in the new year, and hopefully we've got a bit more out we can more to go out that we can actually say. thank you very actually say. so thank you very much. as investigative journalist ward the journalist vicky ward and the lawyer vidal, coming lawyer eric vidal, look, coming up, grief our brave war up, more grief for our brave war veterans. ira got immunity, veterans. the ira got immunity, but calls to keep but now there are calls to keep prosecuting veterans for prosecuting elderly veterans for things done things that they may have done in the past and can keir starmer be after emerged in the past and can keir starmer be he after emerged in the past and can keir starmer be he helpeder emerged in the past and can keir starmer be he helped freezmerged in the past and can keir starmer be he helped free somead that he helped free some dangerous criminals from prison who commit crimes who went on to commit crimes again, feeling inside again, that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news . weather on gb news. >> hello, good evening. welcome

nine people have been arrested. that's the news en gb news across the uk on tv , in your across the uk on tv, in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play your smart speaker by saying play gb news this is britain's news channel . news channel. >> keir starmer's record as a lawyer is coming under the microscope, and you can expect a lot more of this in the run up to the general election. the labour party has long had a reputation as being on the side of britain's enemies. the ira, getting of comfort , getting letters of comfort, corbyn friends with hamas , corbyn being friends with hamas, taking during the black taking the knee during the black lives from just stop oil, loads money from just stop oil, loads of labour politicians having thinly veiled views that many people would regard as being anti—semitic. but when keir starmer was a top lawyer, it reported that in 69 out of 84 cases between 1994 and two thousand and seven, he defended violent criminals, terror suspects and police killers. one of the people he helped to free was paul stellato, who committed

171 offences also received around £30,000 in compensation for being unlawfully held in prison and would later be jailed for life in 2018 for attempting to buy hand grenades. now sir keir successfully argued that , keir successfully argued that, having served three quarters of his ten year sentence, he was now entitled to unconditional release despite being recalled to prison twice for breaching the his early release . the terms of his early release. sir keir's legal case brought in 2006, also reportedly freed 15 other dangerous criminals , other dangerous criminals, including a rapist and a satanist who sexually abused children. there is, of course, the argument that this makes sir keir very good at his job, in the sense that he was able to win these cases. but that's not how wendy ballard sees it. the mother of one of stilettos victims, she told the telegraph. what starmer did had a terrible impact on my family. he's just as much to blame for that as paul stellato is . in the past. paul stellato is. in the past. keir starmer signed a letter in 2020 calling for 50 dangerous offenders not to be deported on a flight to jamaica. this

included violent thugs, drug dealers and a stalker who carried out further crimes in the uk after the labour leader campaigned for them to stay in britain . now one national britain. now one national newspaper has revealed that sir keir starmer demanded the home office halt all deportees on flights just weeks before he took charge of the labour party. apparently he backed calls to hand them mobile phone sim cards to help them arrange last ditch reviews and tonight, in just in the last few moments , the the last few moments, the telegraph has revealed that starmer represented abu qatada in court, helping the notorious hate preacher fight to avoid deportation. qatada who has been described as osama bin laden's ambassador in europe, was represented by the labour leader at a hearing in 2008. apparently this guy, of course. keir starmer also wanted jeremy corbyn to be prime minister. but now he's saying that he never really liked him that much. he wanted to keep violent thugs in britain, but now he's saying

he'll be tough on law and order and on britain's borders. can starmer really be trusted . to starmer really be trusted. to respond to this now? i'm again joined by author and broadcaster christine hamilton, businessman and brooks , and and activist adam brooks, and journalist and broadcaster ben butterworth . christine can butterworth. christine can starmer be trusted or do you think he's got a penchant for wrong'uns ? wrong'uns? >> well, i certainly think labour are more likely to be soft on law and order and crime than the tories are. but i do think in starmer's defence, barristers operate on a cab rank system like you go up to the first cab in the line and they have to take you unless, you know, they have to take you. if they wound down the window, you, they wound down the window, you, the person who really should be to blame for those decisions is the judge who agreed. i mean, starmer was to a large extent, obviously , i understand how the obviously, i understand how the mother feels. of course, i mean, one would be horrified, but, you know, starmer was doing his job. and as i think you said, he's

obviously very good at it. so i think it's slightly unfair, but andifs think it's slightly unfair, but and it's negative campaigning of course, negative campaigning course, and negative campaigning works. worse than what works. it is no worse than what the labour party did about sunak recently with all that stuff on social media. um, implying that he wanted to let paedophiles out of prison and goodness knows what. and of course, the famous one was labour isn't working, which was a brilliant negative ad , but yes, definitely, i think ad, but yes, definitely, i think they're softer they're going to be much softer on law and order. but but you know, he was doing his job and he was obviously a very good qc. >> look adam, think you have >> look adam, i think you have a different view. don't think different view. don't you think that he wasn't just doing his job. that right? job. is that right? >> i have to anyone >> i have to question anyone really knowingly allows really that knowingly allows violent rapists, terrorists , violent rapists, terrorists, child abusers, paedophiles out of prison on technicalities . as of prison on technicalities. as you know, i know they're doing their job, you know, i know they're doing theirjob, but i couldn't sleep at night if i knowingly did that. and it worries me that this man is going to be the prime minister for many reasons. but i have three children and

even though this government has been pretty poor for the last few years, i honestly think that labouris few years, i honestly think that labour is going to be an absolute disaster with crime. and it worries me. >> okay , benjamin, it's one >> okay, benjamin, it's one thing doing your job in court thing doing yourjob in court and doing it very well and getting people off and out . is getting people off and out. is it another thing actively campaigning to get people off a deportation flight, a flight that, as it turned out, contained some vile thugs that went on to commit other crimes. for that, surely that's a big stain on keir's reputation ? stain on keir's reputation? >> i mean, look, i wouldn't be able to sleep at night if we didn't have a functioning and appropriate justice system. people that represent alleged murderers paedophiles and murderers and paedophiles and rapists not defending the rapists are not defending the actions their client is accused of. they are exercising the absolute basics of a civilised and democratic system, like the one that britain has pioneered for you know, a thousand years getting people released early on, technicalities , knowing that on, technicalities, knowing that they're a danger to society. >> society. forgive me, i couldn't sleep at night. >> well, but you sound like an

idiot because that exactly idiot because that is exactly how the justice system works. but the justice but that's how the justice system works , right? are you system works, right? are you saying if someone if saying that if someone if someone accused you of an atrocious crime, that you shouldn't lawyer ? shouldn't have a lawyer? >> ben. >> ben. >> i'm already. are saying >> i'm already. are you saying that have a lawyer that you shouldn't have a lawyer you've accused of an atrocious crime? >> i'm already. i've already said job. i'm saying said it's hisjob. i'm saying i could not sleep at night. and i do not want a man that can easily sleep at night knowing he's people on he's putting dangerous people on the well, that case, our prime >> well, in that case, our prime minister, that you put minister, in that case, you put out, put out of work most out, you put out of work most barristers lawyers barristers and lawyers in this country trying to be the prime minister of this country. >> arguing that's falling flat. >> we've had several. it's not at all because that is how the justice right? you justice system works, right? you defend and i don't defend your client and i don't care what you're accused of. you are to legal representation. >> he's not. representation. >> and not. representation. >> and it ot. representation. >> and it doesn't don't >> and it doesn't mean you don't seem understand that. it seem to understand that. it doesn't you endorse the doesn't mean you endorse the allegations. you're allegations. it means you're exercising law and the law exercising the law and the law isn't a judge or a isn't set by a judge or a barrister or a lawyer. it's set by government. by the government. >> belittle me. i understand fully i'm saying i want

fully i'm saying i do not want that running that sort of person running a country can go to bed at country that can go to bed at night, and he's getting terrorists out on technicalities, what technicalities, you know, what i think concerning fact think is concerning is the fact that 30,000 offenders have that 30,000 sex offenders have not time in the 13 not had jail time in the 13 years of tory government, 1000 people found have people who've been found to have possessed gone to possessed a gun have not gone to prison a tory government. prison under a tory government. >> is what should be of >> that is what should be of concern who was the head of concern and who was the head of the cps a lot of that time? well, he left what, 2014. and well, he left in what, 2014. and let tell you, when you had let me tell you, when you had the rotherham the the cases in rotherham and the pakistani grooming gangs, who was director of was it who was director of pubuc was it who was director of public changed public prosecutions, changed the rules it easier for them rules to make it easier for them to their cases, but wasn't to bring their cases, but wasn't interesting . interesting. >> wasn't interesting, >> wasn't it interesting, interesting walls? >> did that mainly happen in labour? >> well, actually the woman i forget her name, who became a hero, who was the example? >> sarah. sarah champion was then. but then the then then. yeah, but then the then leader of the labour party, jeremy corbyn, basically , you jeremy corbyn, basically, you know, things she kept quiet quite a bit after that. christine, you were itching to get involved? >> well, was just going to >> well, no, i was just going to say that these were i didn't >> well, no, i was just going to say tito these were i didn't >> well, no, i was just going to say tito get se were i didn't >> well, no, i was just going to say tito get involved ere i didn't >> well, no, i was just going to say tito get involved because 1't

want to get involved because i was enjoying but they were was enjoying it, but they were both two different both arguing two different things. adam was saying things. i mean, adam was saying he couldn't sleep at night. having that, and benjamin having done that, and benjamin was arguing, agreeing with me that to that barristers have a to job do. nazi defendants at do. even the nazi defendants at nuremberg were entitled and got legal representation. it's a fundamental principle . fundamental principle. >> did they did any of them then go to run as a prime minister? no, that is my point. >> they didn't no, i have i started by saying that i didn't trust labour on law and order. i certainly don't trust keir starmer on law and order. i am just trying, i think, to defend his position. when was his position. when he was accused not he was a qc accused by not a kc, he was a qc then doing his job. then he was doing his job. >> you accept, benjamin, that >> do you accept, benjamin, that it's part basket of things it's part of a basket of things with keir starmer? we've got the old taking of the knee of, uh blm. we've got, you know, accepting money. would appear accepting money. it would appear anyway stop oil. anyway from, from just stop oil. we've he's we've got you know he's presiding over party has we've got you know he's pressomeover party has we've got you know he's pressome asr party has we've got you know he's pressome as i party has we've got you know he's pressome as i know:y has we've got you know he's pressome as i know you has we've got you know he's pressome as i know you feelis had some as i know you feel strongly about some very few fruity about the palestine fruity views about the palestine hamas situation that's taking place over there. he did try to get corbyn elected, not once, but twice. and then we've got

the deportees and we've the deportees flight and we've got as an actual got his record as an actual lawyer. first all, is that a lawyer. first of all, is that a problem for you? >> there is no association between between between taking the knee, between black lives matter defending black lives matter and defending it. you are entitled to think that, but there's no connection, no people who to. there's no people who wanted to. there's no people who wanted to. there's no on. there's no no police. hang on. there's no connection. the police to organise or off organise crime or letting off criminals from the police. you then that took then falsely claim that he took money just oil, which money from just stop oil, which is complete fabrication. the labour there is a main labour party, there is a main funder of just stop oil who no longer them, fund longer funds them, who also fund the labour that is not the labour party. that is not the labour party. that is not the thing. the truth is, the same thing. the truth is, there's not at all. and the party, that this is party, the truth is that this is a l party, the truth is that this is a , keir starmer, who's so a man, keir starmer, who's so committed to safety and getting criminals that as criminals convicted that as director public prosecutions , director of public prosecutions, he put half a million people a year away with criminals and was happy to let stalkers and violent thugs off a plane sign a letter, give them a sim card so that they can, you know, go and try and that case and stop try and find that case and stop all deportation. >> let's stop all deportations. all deportation. >:yout's stop all deportations. all deportation. >:you weren'tall deportations. all deportation. >:you weren't just eportations. all deportation. >:you weren't just tryingtions. all deportation. >:you weren't just trying to 1s. if you weren't just trying to peddle corporate right peddle death, corporate right wing points , then you

dubun varadkar has announced that dublin is planning to sue the uk government over its attempt to stop inquests , cases and stop inquests, cases and prosecutions for during the troubles. the troubles legacy bill offers condition immunity to people on both sides of the conflict, but critics say it prevents justice being done for victims of the ira and british forces. look, it sounds complicated this, but i think there's a very, very important thing right at its heart, which we're going to get stuck into. leo varadkar both claimed they had no option but to challenge the british government in the echr because the act is in breach of the un convention on human rights. >> um, that's also the view of the un high commissioner and also the council of europe. it is something that we're genuinely doing with a sense of regret. we prefer not to be in this position. um, but we did make a commitment to survivors in northern ireland and to the families of victims . families of victims.

>> interesting. i don't really seem to remember him going into bat so strongly for his own people. after they echoed massive, massive disquiet in the face his ridiculous migration face of his ridiculous migration policies. but the northern ireland secretary, chris heaton—harris, the heaton—harris, described the legal challenge a misguided legal challenge as a misguided action. dublin's action. he questioned dublin's own record in pursuing justice for victims of the atrocities dunng for victims of the atrocities during the troubles. for victims of the atrocities during the troubles . well look during the troubles. well look to react to this developing story now and it's of great significance. i'm joined by a former army colonel and conservative mp, james sunderland. james, thank you very, look, very, very much. now look, members of the ira were given letters of comfort . we had letters of comfort. we had military veterans like denis hutchins, who died awaiting trial, i think for a third time, for a crime that he denied and was found not guilty of twice before . what on earth is going before. what on earth is going on here when it comes to our veterans? well the conservative party stood in 2019 on a manifesto sto, which promised many things. >> and uh, at and resolving the endless cycle of vexatious claims against veterans who had

served in northern ireland was one of those manifesto promises . one of those manifesto promises. >> and i'm pleased to say that the british government, under a conservative prime minister, has delivered that manifesto promise. >> but this bill through parliament, it's now an act of law and i welcome it. >> does leo varadkarjust want >> does leo varadkar just want members of the ira to be able to walk free? >> but british armed forces personnel to serve time for crimes that they may or may not have committed decades ago ? have committed decades ago? >> you'd think so, wouldn't you? i mean, it's a very strange announcement today. >> i mean, i think that there's a sense of hotel california about irish about this from the irish government. >> check out time >> you can check out any time you from eu , but you you like from the eu, but you can leave. and uh, can never leave. and uh, i hazard a guess that that there is some sort of scaremongering here. it may be electioneering . here. it may be electioneering. there's an election coming up. who knows ? but the bottom line who knows? but the bottom line is this particular act that's now in law offers equality to all parties, all stakeholders. so it's not favour the ira, it's not favouring british veterans. it's not favouring , uh, loyalist

it's not favouring, uh, loyalist communities either. what it's doing is actually drawing a line in the sand in law, which means that we all should be able to move forward now from the trouble. >> yeah. no, indeed . and what >> yeah. no, indeed. and what would your message to be leo varadkar who you know , probably varadkar who you know, probably would be quite happy? it appears anyway, to see now you know , a anyway, to see now you know, a relatively elderly military veteran get a knock on the door one day, sir. where were you on april? the goodness knows what and goodness knows what year. can you remember what you did? or you with us, please? or can you come with us, please? we're taking you to dublin so you murder trial. i you can face a murder trial. i mean, who the heck does this guy think he is? >> i agree, i mean, >> i totally agree, i mean, we've got many, many examples of veterans years being veterans over the years being hounded courts in hounded by the courts in northern ireland. um, brought back courtrooms, living back to courtrooms, living in fear, waiting for the next knock at the door. i mean, the promise was made to stop the cycle of vexatious claims against veterans. now been veterans. that's now been delivered. that's a good thing. let's what's clear delivered. that's a good thing. let me what's clear delivered. that's a good thing. let me is what's clear delivered. that's a good thing. let me is that what's clear delivered. that's a good thing. let me is that actually, t's clear delivered. that's a good thing. let me is that actually, there'sr for me is that actually, there's an element of hypocrisy here,

because the irish government's own record in this since 1998 is pretty woeful. um, indeed , the pretty woeful. um, indeed, the secretary of state asked the irish government today how many prosecutions they'd successfully brought since the good friday agreement. i think the answer is, uh, you know, very few . is, uh, you know, very few. >> yeah. no, indeed . and of >> yeah. no, indeed. and of course, i'm sure i'm absolutely sure that he doesn't want reminding of his country's record during world war ii. i mean, that would be rather unfortunate for this guy, wouldn't it? do you think this could be the final nail in the coffin for a lot of people, though, who are still on the fence about the echr? you know this that the t shock this idea now that the t shock of ireland, who you know, on of ireland, who is, you know, on pretty thin ice in his own country, given events, country, given recent events, could take us, could could decide to take us, could pipe up could decide to take us, could pipe up and decide take us to pipe up and decide to take us to a abroad to some a court abroad to have some ruling done a foreign judge, ruling done by a foreign judge, i ruling done by a foreign judge, | , ruling done by a foreign judge, i , we've got get out i mean, we've got to get out of this, we or i don't this, have we or not? i don't know. what do you think? yeah we have and we see this time and time again, seeing this time again, we're seeing this with of vexatious complaints. >> we're seeing with the

>> we're seeing it with the rwanda the moment. um, rwanda bill at the moment. um, you know, we are we are seeing the of having left the difficulties of having left the difficulties of having left the european union. what's interesting today, of course, is that government's that the irish government's criticised the british government for, quote, unilaterally passing legislation. well, funny old thing . you know, the uk is a thing. you know, the uk is a sovereign country . we we've left sovereign country. we we've left the european union . what are the the european union. what are the beauties of brexit is that we can now pass our own laws that determine our own future . and determine our own future. and that's something that clearly the irish government doesn't particularly like. >> i this does seem >> yeah, i mean, this does seem like shameless like maybe shameless anti—british do anti—british point scoring. i do put it to you though, james, that seems be the that this seems to be on the rise. you know, everybody loves to hate britain at the moment. what put what you what do you put what do you blame that on? >> i think there's a bit >> well, i think there's a bit of jealousy there actually. i mean, you look at what's mean, if you look at what's happening in europe at the moment, look at the moment, you look at the economies aren't economies which, which aren't performing, at performing, you look at inflation, higher. performing, you look at in you on, higher. performing, you look at inyou look higher. performing, you look at inyou look at higher. performing, you look at inyou look at the higher. performing, you look at inyou look at the migrationar. if you look at the migration problem europe, the uk is problem across europe, the uk is in a very good position post, um, i'm not naive um, post brexit. i'm not naive to think that it's perfect. of course it's not necessarily on migration, but i'll take your

point others. point on the others. >> but carry on. >> but carry on. >> not at but the beauty of >> not at all. but the beauty of brexit we've now got the brexit is that we've now got the ability to tackle things that we couldn't before. whilst couldn't before. and whilst a member of the european union, but the key but importantly, back to the key issue . um, but importantly, back to the key issue. um, think it is issue. um, i think it is important that communities in northern try and move northern ireland try and move on. seen very few on. we've seen very few prosecutions over the years. the good friday agreement is very successful and quite clearly cases aren't being brought to court because of the lack of evidence. and, and what we've now got is a framework through this thing called the independent commission for reconciliation and information recovery , whereby we can now get recovery, whereby we can now get the information that we seek. >> james, i think i know your answer to this, but it'd be great for everyone to hear it. i think really, you know, do we have to put a ring of steel around our veterans now? we do have a problem with veterans homelessness. you know, i get that a problem with, you that we have a problem with, you know, cases, access to know, some cases, access to mental health care and housing know, some cases, access to menthings|lth care and housing know, some cases, access to menthings alongre and housing know, some cases, access to menthings along those housing know, some cases, access to menthings along those lines.ng know, some cases, access to menthings along those lines. so and things along those lines. so things enough things are, you know, bad enough in cases, veterans this in some cases, veterans in this country, know, matter country, you know, no matter

what says in all of what the echr says in all of this, matter what leo this, no matter what leo varadkar says in all of this, you know, no former member of our forces should be our armed forces should be getting and being getting on a plane and being sent ireland, either northern sent to ireland, either northern ireland of the republic of ireland, face anything there ireland, to face anything there as a result of what may or may not have happened in the troubles, that your view? >> yeah. i mean, the offer to our veterans, 2.3 million veterans in the uk today, including 120,000in northern ireland, the offer to our veterans today is much better than it was before this act was passed, but i'd also say to you, the fact that politics is an imperfect sport. there's always more to do. there's always compromise. but i'm going to publicly commend mercer compromise. but i'm going to pulthey commend mercer compromise. but i'm going to pulthe excellent|d mercer compromise. but i'm going to pulthe excellent work mercer compromise. but i'm going to pulthe excellent work that mercer compromise. but i'm going to pulthe excellent work that he'ser for the excellent work that he's done as a veterans minister. he's made this his life's work in parliament, but the offer is getting better. all of the time. mental health support, op, courage, support for our veterans, list on. and veterans, the list goes on. and actually , this is just the actually, this is just the latest chapter in my view, to the uk becoming the best country in the world to be a veteran, right? >> good good good good. i do
