3:01 am
for further negotiations as a 15 year old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder following a stabbing in north london on new year's eve . a 16 year old new year's eve. a 16 year old harry pitman died following what police say was an altercation as crowds gathered on primrose hill to watch the fireworks. posting on social media, his sister described him as a good boy with a heart of gold and said he wasn't part of any gang and wouldn't have been involved in violence. have been two violence. there have been two explosions at a memorial ceremony in iran, killing more than 100 people. iranian state tv showed footage of crowds running as ambulances rushed to the scene. officials described it as a terrorist attack as people gathered to commemorate the death of a senior commander four years ago. so far, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack . eurostar has been the attack. eurostar has been given a warning by the advertising watchdog after promoting special fares that were available to very few people . the train company people. the train company ianed people. the train company invited customers to soak up every second of summer with a
3:02 am
european getaway for just every second of summer with a european getaway forjust £39. european getaway for just £39. but the advertising standards authority found only a very small portion of seats available at the price , describing the at the price, describing the promotion as misleading, eurostar says it takes complaints seriously and will ensure it doesn't happen again , ensure it doesn't happen again, and luke littler is making history tonight as the youngest player to compete in the final of the world darts championship. at just 16, he beat rob cross six the semi—final last six two, in the semi—final last night at alexandra palace . now night at alexandra palace. now he's taking on the new world number one, luke humphries, in the final. this is gb news on tv online, dab+ radio and on your smart speaker. >> loads on tonight we start with this leaked border force document reveal that channel migrant crossings are set to hit 35,000 this year. well, yesterday james cleverly said this my task is to bring it down to zero. >> i mean, we're completely i'm completely committed . and
3:03 am
completely committed. and actually in 2024, that's my target. my target is to reduce it to zero to stop the boats. and i'm unambiguous about that. >> and yeah, we're going live now to james cleverly trying to hit that target there . but this hit that target there. but this is a problem entirely borne out of sunak and cleverly's own personal weakness. they know that the only way to stop the boats is to have a deterrent. and that deterrent needs to be something like a full throttle rwanda and that plan can rwanda plan. and that plan can only happen outside the echr suella and robert suella braverman and robert jenrick want it out. suella was sacked and jenrick resigned on principle because sunak wouldn't do what was necessary . i am do what was necessary. i am convinced that this country is now suffering and will suffer for years to come because rishi sunak and james cleverly aren't up for the fight when it comes to the echr, because they know they won't be in power long and don't want to remembered as don't want to be remembered as the people who tried to get us out the echr. is out of the echr. that is a dereliction of duty that puts
3:04 am
personal gain over national interest. now yesterday i revealed on this show that an impeccable source told me that the vast majority of channel migrants word of migrants do not speak a word of engush migrants do not speak a word of english and will need to be on benefits and in social housing for the foreseeable future. this comes some devastating comes as some devastating information emerges from europe and you may well have missed this. so shows the impact of legal immigration on the welfare state in the netherlands. the cost to the taxpayer of non—western immigration amounts. to ,17 billion, and the annual net benefits of western immigration totalled ,1 billion. so you can do the maths for yourselves that if immigration continues at 2015 to 19 levels, the annual budget burden . will the annual budget burden. will hit ,550 billion. the dutch welfare state will crumble. let's go to denmark now. the danish finance ministry concludes that non—western immigrants are most likely to remain life long recipients of pubuc remain life long recipients of public finances compared to western immigrants or native danesin western immigrants or native
3:05 am
danes in germany , about 45% of danes in germany, about 45% of those who receive unemployment benefits are not german , costing benefits are not german, costing the taxpayers a cool ,20 billion per year. austria has almost 60% of unemployment benefits going to people from a migrant background. can you imagine the stats for britain .7 there was a stats for britain? there was a report published in april which showed unemployment by ethnic background , which is of course background, which is of course not the same as recent migrants employment data. okay, given that we've just had the latest round of immigration figures, those numbers do not yet exist. but what it did show was this in the uk, 3.1% of people from a white ethnic background were unemployed compared to 11.3% of people from a mixed such multiple ethnic background and an 8.7% of people from a pakistani ethnic background. we are also not better off per capita, so we have to have a serious conversation now about how enriched our lives actually are here in britain and in europe as a result of mass legal
3:06 am
and illegal immigration. let's get the thoughts of my panel. our author and broadcaster christine hamilton. we've got businessman and activist adam brooks and former labour party adviser matthew christine adviser matthew laza christine as the very notion that we are enriched by immigration, both legal and to an extent illegal, has just been burst. >> well, i jolly well hope so. and the question do we need to stop the boats? of course we do. do we stop the boats? do we want to stop the boats? yes does the prime minister want to stop boats? yes. for to stop the boats? yes. for his own advantage. we own electoral advantage. we all want to lose weight. we want to do exercise. we want to do more exercise. we want to give to do give up alcohol. wanting to do something it something and actually doing it are completely different something and actually doing it are they'vetely different something and actually doing it are they've had different something and actually doing it are they've had 13ferent something and actually doing it are they've had 13 years things. they've had 13 years to get grip and no, it's get a grip on this. and no, it's a complete nonsense. um i mean, £18 million day immigration £18 million per day immigration costs us £18 million per day. we need a new home that includes a flat every five minutes to house our expanding population . you our expanding population. you know, people just say, oh, yes, but look at all the immigrants who you if you're in who look after you if you're in hospital, yes, course. hospital, etc. yes, of course. and they're wonderful people. but balance, immigration
3:07 am
but on balance, immigration is costing country. costing this country. >> and adam, these are the figures that are coming outside of europe right now. and they used to be the argument that if we didn't have mass immigration, then we would be poorer. i don't think argument think that argument exists anymore . think that argument exists any look,. think that argument exists any look, there's lefty lie >> look, there's this lefty lie that they like to put on social media that we are importing scientists and, uh, you know, academics on these dinghies. >> when the truth is what you said, most of them cannot speak english. most of them will not end up working , you know. and end up working, you know. and the message that's been sent this week by rishi sunak and james cleverly and this government , 112,000, have government, 112,000, have cleared the backlog . basically, cleared the backlog. basically, even the ones that they haven't given asylum to will end up staying here. we will not deport any. so what happens? how many are missing? where have they come from? what are their motives for being here? have their backgrounds been checked? no this is a national emergency. >> okay, matthew, has your life been enriched by mass
3:08 am
immigration? >> well, i think that the country as a whole has been enriched by immigration. >> so has my life. but that >> and so has my life. but that enriched by immigration doesn't mean that want to have an mean that you want to have an open or you open borders policy, or that you don't believe that immigration should be managed and controlled. moment, controlled. and at the moment, it's is what i it's too high, which is what i believe . believe. >> also never mind >> well, it's also never mind just the numbers. it's been an incredibly divisive in certain parts of this country. we've got some of our big cities where you've different, completely some of our big cities where you've populationscompletely some of our big cities where you've populations livingately different populations living side by street by street, side by side, street by street, and they are living completely different now that i don't different lives now that i don't think lives at all. think enriches lives at all. >> when you look at some of the unemployment that we unemployment figures that we can see of people see there, of the people unemployed it's unemployed in this country, it's says that around just says anyway that around just over 3% of the 3.1% were from a white ethnic background , and white ethnic background, and they were unemployed, compared to 11.3% of people from a mixed or multiple ethnic background. and not all those people are, and not all of those people are, of immigrants. some of course, immigrants. some of those have been born those people have been born here, i it does here, etc, but i think it does raise serious questions, doesn't here, etc, but i think it does rai about ous questions, doesn't here, etc, but i think it does rai about ous (productiveioesn't here, etc, but i think it does rai about ous (productive ourn't it, about how productive our immigration system actually is for us. i mean, how many of
3:09 am
those people are paying tax? we know people across know that people coming across on are almost never on small boats are almost never going a net economic going to be a net economic benefit to us. example, i benefit to us. for example, i don't the colour of don't care the colour of anyone's wants to come anyone's skin that wants to come to but must to this country, but they must come and must want to come here and they must want to live side by side and have input and contribute to this country. >> it doesn't matter what colour they are, there will be racists that , you this, that that scream, you know this, that i'm not interested in that. but these people are not bringing anything to this country at the moment. it's a worry. we do not know who they are or what they've done in the past, and gdp per capita has fallen since 2008. >> that is the big one. >> that is the big one. >> that's the big one. gdp has fallen, which i mean, when you did when everybody has fallen, when you dig down into the figures, one the big issues figures, one of the big issues is immigrants outside is immigrants from outside the eu immigrants from inside eu versus immigrants from inside the eu. >> going to be popular >> it's not going to be popular with but look with everybody, but it look basically, like people basically, it looks like people from are net from within the eu are net contributors and from contributors and people from outside arguably , if outside the eu are arguably, if there is a cost to the country. so this is one of the unintended
3:10 am
consequences of that consequences of brexit, that it's made more it's actually made it more expensive it's expensive and it's made immigration of an issue. immigration more of an issue. >> look, let's remember most of the in the elite class are the mps in the elite class are not affected by these people. in one, you know, one iota. i've been to a local town near me and sat in the council offices, and these migrants have come in and shouting at the staff, demand , shouting at the staff, demand, finding more food, yet they're in a hotel, being fed three times a day. the state is just draining money on these people. we should turn them back. we should have a deterrent and we should have a deterrent and we should put the message to france and all these camps that you're not going to get anything when you that's the only you get here. that's the only way it stops, because they know once here, they're once they're here, they're never being england is the most >> we're england is the most densely populated country in europe. we've got 249 people per square kilometre . france has square kilometre. france has 116. we are incredibly crowded. we can't take any more people. when i was growing up, the population of this country , the population of this country, the uk was about 50 million. i'm that old now. it's 67 million.
3:11 am
this cannot go on. it really can't. and um, if we don't get out of the echr, that's the key. stop the boats. yes, but, matthew, be able to send people to rwanda. >> what's stopping? i think we all agreed that the system at the moment is a complete mess. the backlog is absolutely ridiculous , and the tories have ridiculous, and the tories have been lying this week been found out lying this week claiming that the backlog has been what is been sorted. what we need is a proper managed system and the chaos to start. chaos has got to start. >> they have deported the >> should they have deported the 30,000 stamped 30,000 that weren't stamped asylum, know, i mean, asylum, you know, i mean, i think that mean, they think that i mean, they shouldn't i would deport them. would them? shouldn't i would deport them. woulthink them? shouldn't i would deport them. woulthink that them? shouldn't i would deport them. woulthink that i them? shouldn't i would deport them. woulthink that ithink1? shouldn't i would deport them. woulthink that i think i’ shouldn't i would deport them. woulthink that i think i would >> i think that i think i would the have they the 30,000 who have they basically lost the files for effectively. >> yeah. or failed who weren't approved . approved. >> yeah. if you're if you're not approved for an asylum claim then you should should go then you should you should go home. the home. this is part of the problem though. >> be positive >> and this should be positive approval or this is part of the problem because problem okay. because because clearly legal clearly under our current legal system it is incredibly difficult get difficult to actually get anybody out. and the only way you that is you can really do that is becoming increasingly obvious is either deterrent either with a proper deterrent in country, a safe third
3:12 am
in a third country, a safe third country, leaving echr country, or by leaving the echr and allegation against rishi and the allegation against rishi sunak at the moment, from a source that i was speaking to yesterday quite yesterday is quite straightforward, that straightforward, which is that he true, he knows that's true, but because he's only because he knows he's only potentially got a few months left office, he doesn't want left in office, he doesn't want his be person who his legacy to be the person who took action. took radical action. >> interested in >> but he's more interested in his he's more interested his >> he's more interested in his own i think that is own future. and i think that is a scandal. if that's true. >> adam, i this >> adam, look, i think this message they've sent this message that they've sent this week this backlogs, message that they've sent this week they this backlogs, message that they've sent this week they have,1is backlogs, message that they've sent this week they have, they're logs, the way they have, they're saying 35,000 year. saying about 35,000 this year. i'm put it on i'm going to want to put it on record. we check at the end record. and we check at the end of the year, i believe it's going to be more like 50,000, because message because that message has now been not be deported. >> christine. welfare state >> christine. no welfare state can deal with ,717 billion a can can deal with ,717 billion a yeah can can deal with ,717 billion a year. revelation has come year. the revelation has come out from a university of amsterdam study that was published as well in unherd. that fantastic work at unherd that if fantastic work at unherd revealing and bringing it revealing this and bringing it to british audience, ,17 to the british audience, ,17 billion is the cost of non to the taxpayer of non—eu western immigration is in the netherlands. i mean that is staggering . staggering. >> it's absolutely staggering. and to talk about rishi sunak

3:17 am
3:18 am
3:19 am
3:20 am
weekend at 3 pm. on gb news, the people's channel, britain's news channel . news channel. >> this is patrick christys tonight only on gb news lee anderson coming up but time now for the head to head . and chief for the head to head. and chief race—baiter doctor shola has shown her true colours again by staggeringly slamming the auschwitz holocaust memorial as an embarrassment to humanity. responding to a tweet from the group which asked people to follow their account, doctor shola snapped i unfollowed you after your disgraceful endorsement of israel's extermination , ethnic cleansing extermination, ethnic cleansing and genocide of palestinians. the museum should be ashamed of itself. never again means never again for anyone. you're an embarrassment to humanity. again for anyone. you're an embarrassment to humanity . yeah, embarrassment to humanity. yeah, that was how she started the new
3:21 am
yeah that was how she started the new year. by the way, happy new year . let's shout at a holocaust museum remark . doctor shula was museum remark. doctor shula was honoured by newcastle university last month after being an equality champion combating discrimination and promoting diversity . that is, despite diversity. that is, despite having previous for saying that baby killer lucy letby could get away with murder because she was away with murder because she was a white woman. comparing israel to germany and saying, to nazi germany and saying, quote , whiteness is a sickness . quote, whiteness is a sickness. but isn't this kind of hypocrisy par for the course from the left? climate doomsday actress emma thompson took to the streets with extinction rebellion last year, yet saw no problem frolicking on a private super yacht off venice. meanwhile, multi—million open border democrats living in the super exclusive martha's vineyard estate in the us were almost sick in their mouth when almost sick in their mouth when a busload of illegal migrants landed their lawns last year. landed on their lawns last year. so i am asking, are all so tonight, i am asking, are all woke role models frothing hypocrites ? please let me know hypocrites? please let me know your thoughts. email me gbviews@gbnews.com. tweet me at gb news. while you're there, go and take part in our poll. it's
3:22 am
live now. back sling this one out. a social commentator, joanna jarjue and free speech champion toby young. both of you thank you very much. it's always ladies are the ladies first. joanna, are the woke role models all frothing hypocrites ? i don't really see hypocrites? i don't really see how i think that , um, you know, how i think that, um, you know, we're all human beings, and i think that for a lot of the people that some other people might call woke are people might call woke are just people who trying to genuinely live who are trying to genuinely live better trying to be better lives and trying to be a bit more compassionate. >> doesn't that >> that doesn't mean that as human beings, don't have human beings, we don't all have certain emotions that we certain emotions and that we don't , you know, all don't, you know, all make mistakes. it's like people who are obviously interested in the climate people try and climate debate, people try and maybe, know, change maybe, you know, change different things within their lifestyles . but it doesn't mean lifestyles. but it doesn't mean that, know , they're that, you know, they're hypocrites people hypocrites just because people are by and are kind of standing by and waiting for them to, you know, slip up at any minute. >> on >> well, like getting on a business flight or getting business class flight or getting on super i suppose on a super yacht, i suppose maybe view ? maybe toby, what's your view? >> yeah, well, i think i probably agree with you, patrick, that , um, most woke
3:23 am
patrick, that, um, most woke spokespeople are frothing hypocrites . hypocrites. >> um, i'm a bit reluctant to engage directly with doctor scola's latest rage bait, because i'm beginning to suspect that she's a satirical creation who's, um, twitter. uh has been scripted by . andrew doyle and scripted by. andrew doyle and that she's a sort of titania mcgrath like creation designed to make the woke left look absolutely ridiculous . and if absolutely ridiculous. and if that isn't the case, then i feel a little sorry for her because she's everything she tweets. everything she says just makes the woke left, makes the call. she hopes to promote, look more and more silly. attacking the auschwitz museum on new year's day describes it as an embarrassment to humanity. i mean, you know, she should look in the mirror if she's if she's wondering what an embarrassment to humanity is. um, the idea that because the auschwitz museum stood up for the right of israel to defend itself said
3:24 am
that the return of the hostages was a precondition of any ceasefire. the idea that that is endorsing extermination and genocide is just completely ridiculous. she's doing her side no favours. >> joanna, how can someone be pro—diversity but also think that whiteness is a sickness . that whiteness is a sickness. >> um, well, to be honest, i thought that we were going to discuss a bit more about what doctor scholar actually, um, talks it to talks about when it comes to the holocaust memorial. and i think in that sense, actually, um, i think it's completely right to call out, you know, injustice when you see it. i think the problem here is that there's a mismatch between how people, different groups view the holocaust memorial. um, so , so holocaust memorial. um, so, so when it comes to some side of some half of people are thinking that it's all about, you know , that it's all about, you know, the legacy of everything that's happened to the jewish community. other people see it as, you know, reference point as, you know, a reference point to humanity. so to have somebody, know, a group and somebody, you know, a group and to have this, you know, twitter account tweet out something like
3:25 am
that endorsed of the that which isn't endorsed of the israeli state, and also to tweet that out at a point where, you know, 10,000 people had died by then , it doesn't look like it's then, it doesn't look like it's actually acknowledging whole actually acknowledging the whole never slogan. and you never again slogan. and you can't have it both ways. unfortunately so think unfortunately so i don't think that, you know, there's anything hypocritical about calling out injustice. toby i don't think doctor scholar was calling out injustice. >> i think she was. she was deliberately, um, courting outrage in the hope of getting clicks. i mean, it's not it's not in any way hypocritical for a museum . um, memorialising. a museum. um, memorialising. what happened in the concentration camps in nazi germany to support the state of israel's right to exist ? but, israel's right to exist? but, um, the holocaust is what happened when the jews didn't have a homeland, when they had no one to fight for them to protect them, no standing army. so i think it's completely understandable that a museum which commemorates what happened at auschwitz should defend israel's right to exist and its
3:26 am
right to defend itself, particularly in the wake of the worst massacre of jewish people since the second world war, which is what happened in southern israel on october 7th. i mean, i find it very, uh, perplexing. patrick um . perplexing. patrick um. >> oh, i think we've lost toby. >> oh, i think we've lost toby. >> i think they're on the side of humanity, and i've lost me . of humanity, and i've lost me. >> no, i've got you. carry on. wrap it up. >> yeah, i find it perplexing, patrick, that people on the left, people who think of themselves as on the side of social justice as humanity. >> koreans can't bring themselves to condemn what happened on october 7th. can't bnng happened on october 7th. can't bring themselves to identify hamas as a terrorist organisation. it is just baffling to me . baffling to me. >> okay. i mean, to joanna, be honest, people are scratching their heads as to how somebody like doctor schiller can be held up a moral bastion of virtue up as a moral bastion of virtue in this world. and sweet, some things regularly things that people regularly find utterly vile. look, think find utterly vile. look, i think that doctor schiller's language is definitely strong, to put it
3:27 am
lightly . lightly. >> and i don't think that, you know, it's always the best approach you want to approach to use when you want to kind of campaign for something which intent of it is which may be the intent of it is sincere. let's not forget sincere. but let's not forget that schiller that doctor schiller was actually page actually following this page before this, unfollowed for before this, she unfollowed for a reason , because she felt as if a reason, because she felt as if the that the was the things that the page was saying basically, um , saying were basically, um, betraying the greater good of what the page is supposed be what the page is supposed to be about, when think about about, about when we think about auschwitz, we think auschwitz, about when we think about holocaust memorial. yes it's something a legacy as a, it's something in a legacy as a, you know, a part of the jewish community never community that we should never forget. it changed forget. but it also changed the whole of europe and whole trajectory of europe and the way we see things. and the way that we see things. and this thing. this whole never forget thing. i don't think you know, don't think that, you know, should, um, be completely forgotten just i just find it. >> i do find it utterly remarkable that somebody can be an equality champion, combating discrimination and promoting diversity viewing diversity when viewing everything through the prism of race and spouting about race all the time . and i would argue toby the time. and i would argue toby as know, doing quite as well, you know, doing quite a lot divide us. the baby lot to divide us. the baby killer lucy letby could get away with because she was with murder because she was a white woman. mean, toby, this
3:28 am
white woman. i mean, toby, this is ridiculous. no it's so divisive . divisive. >> patrick. um, it's an example of reverse racism . it's exactly of reverse racism. it's exactly the kind of thing that claudine gay has been embarrassed about and why she's had to resign as the president of harvard, making her the shortest lived president in the history of harvard university. this kind of reverse racism is every bit as disgusting as straightforward racism . and i think people are racism. and i think people are gradually waking up to that fact. and i think people who endorse this reverse racism, uh, will i think their careers are going to be fairly short lived now, maybe doctor shola won't . now, maybe doctor shola won't. does that think she's probably not going to be with us for much 7 not going to be with us for much ? yeah. all right. >> very quick, joanna. on. ? yeah. all right. >> that quick, joanna. on. ? yeah. all right. >> that isn't(, joanna. on. ? yeah. all right. >> that isn't even1na. on. ? yeah. all right. >> that isn't even the on. ? yeah. all right. >> that isn't even the one. n. >> that isn't even the one. first of all, that isn't even the reverse the definition of reverse racism. think racism. and actually, i think that schiller again, that what doctor schiller again, and of the words that she and some of the words that she uses that would uses aren't words that i would particularly very particularly use. they're very strong can, you strong and sometimes can, you know, edge of know, teeter on the edge of being offensive, but actually, i think was trying to,
3:29 am
think what she was trying to, um, you know, point out was the fact there is unconscious fact that there is unconscious bias in these situations in terms seen more terms of who is seen as more threatening , potentially, and threatening, potentially, and who is seen as somebody who is more and maybe lucy more innocent and maybe lucy letby fit more of that archetype . we see all the time when it comes to discrimination, when it's in numbers. so it's it's in the numbers. so it's nothing with reverse nothing to do with reverse racism. it's more about unconscious . unconscious bias. >> both of you, thank you very, very much . great stuff. that very much. great stuff. that proper head to head. joanna jaflue proper head to head. joanna jarjue of course, the jarjue there. uh, of course, the social commentator and free speech champion , toby young. speech champion, toby young. so who agree with? are all who do you agree with? are all woke role models, frothing hypocrites? barry twitter hypocrites? barry on twitter says patrick. she's one of, if not the biggest racist in this country. obviously, doctor shirley would deny this. these are she should be are barry's views, she should be investigated, on investigated, dev said on twitter. a despicable thing twitter. what a despicable thing to say. on are figures to say. why on earth are figures like her allowed away like her allowed to get away with such things ? but with saying such things? but phoebe twitter says in no way phoebe on twitter says in no way is shouty. shula a role model, right? not a huge amount of different shades of grey there. when it comes to the response about, uh, about the uh,
3:30 am
about, uh, about the old, uh, woke icons being frothing hypocrites, now hypocrites, your verdict is now in 94% of you agree that woke role models are hypocrites. 6% of they they aren't of you say they they aren't coming rumours are swirling coming up. rumours are swirling that prince andrew and sarah ferguson are thinking about marrying again. what would prince philip think? and with the late prince philip not around, though , so keep fergie around, though, so keep fergie at arm's length. are we about to see a reunion of the yorks esteemed royal author, angela levin reveals all the inside golf shortly. plus, coming up in my 10:00 monologue, will junior doctors have blood on their hands? their strikes purely hands? are their strikes purely political , hands? are their strikes purely political, or do hands? are their strikes purely political , or do need to hands? are their strikes purely political, or do need to pay political, or do we need to pay our keep them in our doctors more to keep them in the ? i went down to the the nhs? i went down to the strikes this morning to speak to one of those ringleaders . are one of those ringleaders. are you comfortable adding to that, though? death toll? that's though? the death toll? that's what's political, isn't it? that's talking that's what you're talking about. see, it's got about. you see, it's got political quite quickly there. general election, change of government, general election, change of gov you1ent, general election, change of gov you personally affected general election, change of gov issue ersonally affected general election, change of gov issue with|ally affected general election, change of gov issue with doctorsected general election, change of gov issue with doctors payj the issue with doctors pay though ? but first, britain is though? but first, britain is suffering a violent crime wave of thugs targeting owners of a high end type of coat , which

3:36 am
nonh tube were being targeted for north face and canada goose coats. are incredibly coats. these are incredibly popular. these, and crucially, there's a lot of fakes around as well, with an 83% rise in the number of thefts recorded from just . 3000 in 2022 to just under. 3000 in 2022 to nearly 5500 in 2023. well lee anderson joins me now . lee, how anderson joins me now. lee, how have we become lawless britain ? have we become lawless britain? >> well, well look, patrick, i mean, i've just seen those very disturbing scenes there. >> these these these hooligans, these thugs, these thieves stealing coats in broad daylight. you know , it begs the daylight. you know, it begs the question, patrick, why aren't these people at work doing an honest day's work , paying their honest day's work, paying their taxes and contribute ing towards society? i'll tell you why that is, patrick. it's because they've got no intentions of integrating , working they've got no intentions of integrating, working and contributing to this great country of ours. these thugs, these yobbos. they need locking up. they need putting away for good going about their good people going about their business on a on a daily basis. yes, they might buy an expensive coat. what if they've been to
3:37 am
coat. so what if they've been to work money and work and earned their money and bought a coat that's worth £1,000? whatever it is, they have the right go about their have the right to go about their daily business. without this scum attacking them in broad daylight and taking their their coats off them. and the police need step on this. i'm need to step up on this. i'm quite furious about you quite furious about this. you know, i had a case in my constituency recently where a shopkeeper was attacked . i shopkeeper was attacked. i actually witnessed the attack after after the shopkeeper had been, you know, had goods stolen from his shop. i intervened , from his shop. i intervened, helped the shopkeeper avoid this vicious assault . and the police vicious assault. and the police took over a month ago. and interview. uh, sorry to arrest the culprit. even though the culprit had apologised and admitted to the crime on social media, the police took a month . media, the police took a month. and now i've just learned just this week, patrick, that the police haven't even passed it on to the cps . this was police haven't even passed it on to the cps. this was a man, a shopkeeper, to the cps. this was a man, a shopkeeper , who had been shopkeeper, who had been assaulted and been robbed in broad daylight . and the police broad daylight. and the police haven't even got the guts or the
3:38 am
backbone to pass it on to the cps. it's absolutely disgusting. yeah. >> it's remarkable . and the >> it's remarkable. and the reason why i wanted to bring this story to people's attention is that i know, especially in the winter months, there'll a the winter months, there'll be a lot walking around lot of people walking around wearing of jackets. wearing these kind of jackets. and aware now that and you should be aware now that there people who there are people out there who are and nick are desperate to try and nick these. and it's an incredibly invasive literally, invasive process, literally, physically off physically taking a jacket off someone, especially a woman out on own, a dog. i on her own, walking a dog. i mean, will probably think mean, she will probably think that else that there's something else going as well. someone going on there as well. someone trying your jacket trying to rip your jacket off. but uk and the lib but lee reform uk and the lib dems launched their dems both launched their election campaigns so election campaigns today, so it's a busy day in politics, right? this is reform right? this is what reform leader had to say leader richard tice had to say about party this morning about your party this morning and later. farage prospect and later. nigel farage prospect of a return to politics with is the tories have become like the labour party , two sides of the labour party, two sides of the same socialist coin. >> people talk about nigel and reform uk. the better it does ourjob reform uk. the better it does our job for us of reform uk. the better it does ourjob for us of raising brand our job for us of raising brand awareness because we're a relatively new brand. the more
3:39 am
help nigel can give, the better , help nigel can give, the better, but he's got some important decisions to make and a good poker player always keeps their cards close to the chest . cards close to the chest. >> yeah. meanwhile, sir ed davey of the lib dems also took a crack before later refusing to rule out a coalition with . labour >> here it is 2024. the year the voters finally get to pack up this awful , out—of—touch this awful, out—of—touch conservative government. >> yes, to a coalition with laboun >> i'm focussed on the general election , grief . election, grief. >> uh, lee, uh, are we in for a coalition of chaos between the lib dems and labour? >> well, listen, first of all, patrick, let's just ignore ed davey. he's a bit of a laughing stock , which, whatever happens stock, which, whatever happens at the next election, they'll be turning up on day one in their minibus. probably only a battery
3:40 am
powered minibus , because they'll powered minibus, because they'll return about 12 mps. but let's go on to mr tice. um, mr tice is the leader of the reform party, and as i understand , patrick, and as i understand, patrick, he's unelected. he actually took the reins of the reform party after nigel stepped down. this is not a proper political party, by the way. this is a this is a company known dodi elected. um, mr tice at all. but you know, it sort of spouts in his mouth off and he's had a he's had a little p0p and he's had a he's had a little pop at me today and i get on with richard reasonably well . with richard reasonably well. but this, he's not but i would say this, he's not nigel farage, he's not the leader that nigel farage was in fact, i agree with one of my constituents who said to me earlier today is a bit of a pound shop. nigel farage. i think he needs to pipe down a little bit because, you know, if the unthinkable happens, patrick and next year we do get a labour government and, and richard tice is on his media platforms saying what a disaster this starmageddon what a disaster.
3:41 am
the labour party are . i shall be the labour party are. i shall be reminding mr tice it was him that helped them get got elected. >> i mean he might hit back and say actually it was 13 to 14 years of tory mismanagement. >> i'm not interested. patrick in what mr tice has got to say. i said this yesterday on gb news it's all right for the likes of mr tice. he's got a bob or two. he's probably a millionaire. he can go back to his little penthouse overlooking the thames. if labour do win the election, he can shut his curtains and get on with his life. what i'm worried about is the people this great the people of this great country, especially the country, and especially the people ashfield, will people of ashfield, who will suffer , i think, damage , suffer, i think, untold damage, unreliable government . unreliable government. >> so you don't think that richard tice has got the minerals to be a proper politician ? politician? >> i don't think he's >> i don't i don't think he's a proper dish. uh, like i say , uh, proper dish. uh, like i say, uh, patrick, i think he's a pound shop. patrick, i think he's a pound shop . nigel farage and every shop. um, nigel farage and every time he opens his mouth recently , um, on whichever media platform he's coming across as a
3:42 am
the reforms answer to diane abbott . abbott. >> what do you mean by that ? >> what do you mean by that? >> what do you mean by that? >> well, he's just saying ridiculous things. i mean, in one breath, he was saying just a few weeks ago that i had not been approached by reform , um, been approached by reform, um, uh, to, to walk the floor. and just a week later, i think his deputy had to, um , correct that deputy had to, um, correct that comment to say that there was a conversation that actually took place look like i say, patrick, is no nigel farage. i think nigel farage would have got the communique sessions, the comms a little bit better. uh, and like i said, i think it was yesterday on gb news only anybody in ashfield has actually heard of richard tice . uh, he hasn't got richard tice. uh, he hasn't got that connection . he hasn't got that connection. he hasn't got that. he hasn't got that . you that. he hasn't got that. you know, with nigel farage you could go and have a drink with him. you could have a pint with him, you could go and socialise with hasn't got that. with him. tice hasn't got that. he pipe down little he needs to pipe down a little bit explain to the bit and actually explain to the pubuc bit and actually explain to the public all about. public what he's all about. >> right. i think i can hear >> all right. i think i can hear a ringing somewhere in the a phone ringing somewhere in the distance is

3:45 am
3:46 am
3:47 am
all right, this is patrick christys tonight only on gb news. and coming up do junior doctors have blood on their hands. doctor rob lawrenson will be shortly . he's the be joining me shortly. he's the one who's been rattling the can and getting all of those junior doctors but now doctors out on strike. but now it for our royal it is time for our royal dispatch with top author angela levin . who would have thought levin. who would have thought that fergie would navigate her
3:48 am
way back into the royal family as well as prince andrew's heart? rumours have started to swirl. the pair are considering remarrying almost 30 years after they divorced , but fergie's they divorced, but fergie's father, ronald ferguson, father, major ronald ferguson, has blamed the palace for the initial split, with prince philip . princess margaret philip. princess margaret reportedly driving the force behind giving her the boot. fergie's presence at sandringham for christmas, though, turned heads. considering the for christmas, though, turned heads . considering the last for christmas, though, turned heads. considering the last time she was invited was before diana and charles separated , and it's and charles separated, and it's believed this infamous splash on the where the duchess of the sun, where the duchess of york is having toes sucked, york is having her toes sucked, is lost a seat at the is what lost her a seat at the country's top table. so angela levin, what do we know about this rumoured remarrying? levin, what do we know about thiswelloured remarrying? levin, what do we know about thiswell ,jred remarrying? levin, what do we know about thiswell , it's remarrying? levin, what do we know about thiswell , it's very arrying? levin, what do we know about thiswell , it's very interesting. >> well, it's very interesting. i think a lot of it is since prince philip has passed away, who couldn't bear her, didn't allow her to come to 20 some odd years . so when he allow her to come to 20 some odd years. so when he died , the years. so when he died, the queen started getting much more friendly with her. she's always liked her because it makes her laugh and she's so bubbly and alive . um, and then i think
3:49 am
alive. um, and then i think actually , what the big change actually, what the big change is, is that is the cancer she had . i think is, is that is the cancer she had. i think you can is, is that is the cancer she had . i think you can keep had. i think you can keep separate and you want to go your own way . but if you are separate and you want to go your own way. but if you are a loving couple and they still love each other, although they're not married and they have separate rooms and all that sort of thing , um, you start rethinking thing. and she was obviously very ill. her operation was ten hours long and she came back to live in the lodge to be with, with, um, you know, to have nursing help. and i think that you feel that, you know , how you feel that, you know, how much you want that person . and i much you want that person. and i think that's changed things. i think that's changed things. i think another thing is that both her children have got their own children , and it's sort of children, and it's sort of they're she's sort of slightly out of it as part of the family. and it would be very nice if they were together. she's been a very never very good mother. she's never said word . add a bad word said a word. add a bad word about the monarchy, and she's never said a really a bad word about prince andrew. she's
3:50 am
always said, well, for me, he's always said, well, for me, he's a great man. he's a wonderful father. she's stuck to being actually very moral in that sort of way. >> do you think he's interesting that maybe initially she was seen as the slight liability in that relationship, and now it's possibly andrew. >> not necessarily . no. i think >> not necessarily. no. i think they had a rather strange relationship when they were married for the first five years. she only saw him for 40 days a year because he was off with the navy and so she got restless. he got restless and she said, we both realised we had open marriages. i'm not quite sure what they mean by that. i won't dig into that. but it's that's what it was and i think it was very difficult because she was used to going to parties and being, you know, um , parties and being, you know, um, flying her plane that she learnt how to do, writing a book. she learnt how to do. she did loads and loads of different things. and then she got, they got fed up drew apart because up and they drew apart because of the lack of closeness . and of the lack of closeness. and they had been friends when they
3:51 am
were little children. they had known each other from then. so their relationship is quite solid, although rather bizarre. >> she's stuck with him through all of the latest round of the epstein allegations, etc. as well, hasn't she? >> yes, yes, she absolutely has . >> yes, yes, she absolutely has. >> yes, yes, she absolutely has. >> um, and she's going to continue to do that. >> yes, i think she will. i think she will. and of course, camilla the queen is, is , um, camilla the queen is, is, um, very forgiving. she doesn't bear grudges at all. so she was, i'm quite sure, encouraged her to come to church last year. she went just for lunch , and this went just for lunch, and this year she went to church and she did behave very, very well. she was smiling and waving at everyone . her dressing was green everyone. her dressing was green dress and a green hat . it was dress and a green hat. it was all right. so she was really showing that everything was was very good and lovely . and she very good and lovely. and she didn't walk holding andrew's hand. didn't walk holding andrew's hand . she behaved very properly. hand. she behaved very properly. >> is she a good thing for the royal family, though? is she a good thing? therefore by definition, i don't definition, for britain, i don't think necessarily a good think she's necessarily a good friend the royal family.
3:52 am
friend for the royal family. >> lots of charity >> but she does lots of charity work and most of her charity work and most of her charity work is for children, an and a lot them is with children lot of them is with children with that's very with cancer. so that's very helpful because there's very few people now doing all that , even people now doing all that, even though a couple of people in california might shout about it rather a lot. >> we've got sarah ferguson there who actually doing some there who is actually doing some genuine , she genuine charity work, and she loves monarchy and she's loves the monarchy and she's been very well . um, been behaving very well. um, it'd be fascinating to see what the reaction to of the public's reaction to all of this angela, can i just this is, but, angela, can i just thank very, very for thank you very, very much for coming us coming on and enlightening us all wisdom all with your inside wisdom there. the esteemed there. that is the esteemed royal biographer, angela levin. thank very, very well, thank you very, very much. well, look, 16 year old look, coming up, 16 year old british dance sensation luke littler is currently playing the biggest match of his career as he it out in the world he battles it out in the world dans he battles it out in the world darts championship final for 500 grand. okay we will cross live to go doolally at the harbi to go doolally at the ali harbi ali for very latest from ali for the very latest from this lot . this lot. >> hey babies! patrick christmas tonight. yeah baby. former darts world champion keith deller

4:02 am
news across the uk on tv, in your car, on your digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news now it's back to . patrick. the junior back to. patrick. the junior doctors are back out on strike now. how. >> now. >> the nation is very, very divided on this. some people think they deserve a pay rise. other people think they've got blood on their hands. now. nobody though, is more conflicted than the father of the co—chair of bma's junior the co—chair of the bma's junior doctors union, who said he's a customer of the nhs and a taxpayer and his son wants more money. he didn't realise that he was some kind of red in the bed. well, his private schoolboy son, robert lawrenson, was out on the picket lines today outside saint thomas's hospital in london. so i confronted him on several things. the idea that things. firstly the idea that with 1 million appointments and operations being cancelled, people like him are actually contributing to patient deaths
4:03 am
now. he gave me the usual guff existing waiting lists , existing waiting lists, backlogs, yada yada . backlogs, yada yada. >> so we saw 12 million appointments being cancelled and rescheduled last year, a fraction of which were caused by strike action. >> are you comfortable adding to that, though ? the death toll? that, though? the death toll? >> there's never a good time to strike. there's no winners in strike. there's no winners in strike action. we'd much rather be at work , really. be at work, really. >> there's never a good time to strike. well, striking right in the middle of the busiest period for the nhs could be seen as malicious. and actually the worst to strike. look, worst time to strike. look, i can't be the only one who's at least thoughts that these least had thoughts that these militant unionists want to militant unionists just want to destabilise government destabilise the government even more . it's never too long, is it more. it's never too long, is it , before it all goes very political. it goes from a pay dispute to needing a change of government, but unfortunately the government in westminster can't commit to negotiating for three years time because there is no constitutional life span to do that , the westminster
4:04 am
to do that, the westminster needs to have a general election in the next political, isn't it? that's what you're talking about. you see, it's got political quite quickly, though. general election, change of government, labour, government, general election, change of govthe1ent, labour, government, general election, change of govthe1ent, iabout, government, general election, change of govthe1ent, iabout doctor1ment, no. the thing about doctor robertson that he talks robertson is that he talks a very good game about cash strapped junior doctors, living hand and struggling hand to mouth and struggling to deal cost living deal with the cost of living crisis. did put it to the crisis. but i did put it to the lad who went to a top private school is listed reportedly as the director of an investment company of august, company that, as of august, again reportedly held £2 million worth assets reportedly worth of assets and reportedly owns a £500,000 property with no mortgage, that he might not really be feeling the pinch himself. >> i lose pay from going out on strike. yes it's okay, it's just your kind of personal finances is obviously caused quite a lot of scrutiny. >> i mean, everyone has different, uh, financial circumstances . then, of course, circumstances. then, of course, there's the issue of him being accused of going on holiday dunng accused of going on holiday during doctors strike. during the last doctors strike. and it's important to state that doctor lawrenson be doctor lawrenson should not be accused of going on holiday. dufing accused of going on holiday. during the last doctors strike
4:05 am
or before that. and if or the one before that. and if you do slander , that's you do do that slander, that's slander. but of course, he did take time off for a wedding dunng take time off for a wedding during the strike in april. >> why, no, i'm very happy to attend those life changing events and go to friends and families . events and go to friends and families. uh, momentary moments . families. uh, momentary moments. >> yeah. of course. unfortunately, the doctors on strike won't be there for people's life changing moments when lying hospital when they're lying in hospital beds. in the coming days, they always on about the nhs always bang on about the nhs being needs more being underfunded. it needs more funding. have to give funding. taxpayers have to give it more money. but maybe some nhs strikers should be looking inwards at the way that the nhs wastes money. >> look, the nhs manages its resources, how it chooses to manage its resources . lots of manage its resources. lots of people have different opinions on how they manage it. i mean, frankly, from where i'm sitting, i don't understand how a doctor's pay can be cut by 26% when we've got those issues with the waiting lists, with acas, with appointment points. and with gp appointment points. and it the question , why are it begs the question, why are frontline staff not getting paid
4:06 am
properly ? properly? >> yeah, that was of course in relation to fat cats. that's some of the worst performing nhs trusts getting paid £300,000. diversity managers , etc. getting diversity managers, etc. getting paid three, 4 or 5 times. what a junior doctor gets paid. but i wanted to say the most important element of this clip until last. actually, if a pay rise is so important to retaining junior doctors in britain, then surely, surely the bma doctors surely the bma junior doctors union co—chair would say that if his demands were met, he would actually stay and work in our nhs . but you could be a part of nhs. but you could be a part of all of this now and then. just leave anyway . leave anyway. >> uh, i hope to have a long and successful career about 4050. >> are you actively planning on going to canada or australia as it currently stands right now? no but you're ruling it out no but you're not ruling it out in future. in the future. >> oh, correct. i'm not ruling it out in the future. no >> right. quite possibly >> right. so he's quite possibly off he? obviously off anyway, isn't he? obviously some might accuse doctor some people might accuse doctor lawrenson of being the politically motivated face of a pay politically motivated face of a pay crisis . politically motivated face of a pay crisis. he politically motivated face of a pay crisis . he isn't actually pay crisis. he isn't actually affected by who is already
4:07 am
mentally decided to leave britain, even if his demands are met in full. but i wouldn't accuse him of that. why? because he's that slander ? absolutely to he's that slander? absolutely to respond now i'm joined again by author and broadcaster christine hamilton , businessman and hamilton, businessman and activist adam brooks, and former labour party adviser matthew le . labour party adviser matthew le. look, christine. yeah do you think that potentially the junior doctors are being, in a sense , led out on strike by a sense, led out on strike by a bloke who's actually very financially comfortable himself and is just going to do one anyway, even if the pay demands are met. >> um, well, let's leave him to one side. mean, clearly one side. i mean, he's clearly a privileged lad, but that doesn't stop him leading strike. it stop him leading a strike. it shouldn't from shouldn't, um, bar him from doing it, but deeply doing it, but i was deeply unimpressed manner and unimpressed by his manner and the he couldn't really the way he couldn't really be bothered your bothered to answer your questions this is questions, could he? but this is a political strike. um, that's completely politically motivated. the doctors , motivated. the junior doctors, they've had an 8.8% increase going up to next march, which
4:08 am
is, as it happens . yes, we've is, as it happens. yes, we've had inflation, but everybody has suffered the effects of inflation. that 8.8 is exactly the same as the state pension. to which thank you very much. i'm grateful recipient. so you i'm a grateful recipient. so you know, too bad. the know, it's not too bad. the average pay of a junior doctor in year is 41,300. in their first year is 41,300. now they don't all get that. but thatis now they don't all get that. but that is the average. the people behind this are the bma. a they are as i call them, the bloody minded activists. and they have been very marxist oriented right from the word go. do you know, after the war, but during the war, before the war, during the war, before the war, during the war, when it was going, they said that they did not want the british government accept 500 british government to accept 500 jews. doctors because they didn't think it would be any good for their pool of doctors. it wouldn't do them any good. now that was the bma. after the war, when the when the national health service was set up, they didn't want the national health service. they are so politically motivated that is what is motivated and that is what is behind strike.
4:09 am
behind this strike. >> well, well, well obviously we haven't got to bma for haven't got to the bma for comment specific on comment on those specific on those allegations, of those specific allegations, of course. would have course. i mean, it would have been weird if we'd the been weird if we'd had the foresight that, but the, foresight to do that, but the, the, miraculously, we've . the, the miraculously, we've. yeah, it's funny you should say that, , because. no. yeah, it's funny you should say that,but , because. no. yeah, it's funny you should say that,but but , because. no. yeah, it's funny you should say that,but but no, because. no. yeah, it's funny you should say that,but but no, adam,a. no. yeah, it's funny you should say that,but but no, adam, onio. yeah, it's funny you should say that,but but no, adam, on a. yeah, it's funny you should say that,but but no, adam, on a on um, but but no, adam, on a on a serious note, though, on a serious note, though, on a serious note, though, the idea of getting it was all very serious. well, it's true serious. well, it was, it's true . very serious. right, . very serious. all right, christine, comes christine, now on when it comes to pay rise. right. to this, this pay rise. right. theidea to this, this pay rise. right. the idea that if you pay the doctors their demands, which equates to somewhere around 35% pay equates to somewhere around 35% pay rise, all in all, depending on how far back you track it, right. is enough to right. that that is enough to keep country and not keep them in the country and not leave australia canada . leave to australia or canada. it's absolute rubbish. you've got that who were it's absolute rubbish. you've got well, that who were it's absolute rubbish. you've got well, they at who were it's absolute rubbish. you've got well, they quite) were saying, well, they quite possibly anywhere . possibly just go anywhere. >> thought he'd come >> yeah, i thought he'd come across arrogant. yeah, across so arrogant. yeah, i think he'd come across as a proper pipsqueak entitled, proper posh pipsqueak entitled, entitled is another word. you know, i was cringing watching that at the end of the day, these people have chosen to study and go into a profession , study and go into a profession, even knowing what the starting
4:10 am
pay even knowing what the starting pay is, signing contracts , pay is, signing contracts, knowing what the starting pay is and now they want 35. it's an absolute disgrace. i do not know how they live with themselves and they've got blood on their hands. people probably hundreds, maybe thousands will die in the coming weeks because of these strikes. all right. so unforgivable. >> so that is that is very much one side of it right there is another side. and i know a lot of our viewers and listeners subscribe to the other side. okay. and i was out there today at that picket line. i actually also spoke chap who'd come also spoke to a chap who'd come off the back of a night shift. was there and said look, was there and said that, look, he to commit his he does want to commit his future to britain and the pay will keep will probably be enough to keep him you know, he him there as well. you know, he doesn't he doesn't feel as though he particularly wants to be strike. all of this stuff, be on strike. all of this stuff, i there case i mean, there is a for case there a case giving in to there is a case for giving in to their pay demands. isn't there? >> look, absolutely. there's a case giving a pay case for giving them a new pay settlement. i think the 35% figure ludicrous. settlement. i think the 35% figure ludicrous . and figure is ludicrous. and labour's clear that labour's been very clear that sorting out sorting junior doctors pay out is a journey and not is going to be a journey and not an but i have to say he's
4:11 am
an event. but i have to say he's the worst. advertisement possible for their cause because he makes me absolutely shudder. one of my best friends was not in that london hospital, but in another inner hospital. another inner london hospital. wednesday a&e today. doctor couldn't doctor couldn't the standing doctor couldn't log in after five hours. are being hours. patients are being huddled together in a corridor to a single people to share a single drip. people screaming out for pay medication. so clearly this is impacting people. that's my friends experience to today . and friends experience to today. and that's as a result. >> we think of the strike. >> we think of the strike. >> yeah it's yes because the people there are the people covering. the only people covering. the only people covering who are covering are consultants who are getting their hands dirty. >> costing lives. getting their hands dirty. >> i costing lives. getting their hands dirty. >> i think costing lives. getting their hands dirty. >> i think it's ing lives. getting their hands dirty. >> i think it's pretty es. getting their hands dirty. >> i think it's pretty clear getting their hands dirty. >> iit1ink it's pretty clear getting their hands dirty. >> iit is k it's pretty clear getting their hands dirty. >> iit is costing etty clear getting their hands dirty. >> iit is costing lives lear that it is costing lives and that's why we need to settle it. so get off his high so he needs to get off his high horse stop cosplaying bob horse and stop cosplaying bob crow. mean, you know, and, crow. i mean, you know, and, and, needs to and, and the government needs to cut high horse start cut off his high horse and start negotiating it won't do negotiating which it won't do because to stand up. because they've got to stand up. >> people think he's >> so some people think he's quite operator. mean, quite a slick operator. i mean, there obviously a full of there is obviously a full of version of that interview as well. more of well. we'll play more clips of that. he's he's that. but, you know, he's he's he's the worst operator in he's not the worst operator in the answer the world. he's got an answer
4:12 am
for everything. christine. >> well, mean, doctors >> well, i mean, the doctors cherry line, cherry pick the base line, the base, line they base, um, line when they say that want they're going that they want 35, they're going back to time they were back to a time when they were quite over quite low down, but they over the years, they haven't the last ten years, they haven't done too badly. when compare done too badly. when you compare them professions and them with other professions and they, they get the they, they say that they get the same amount as a cappuccino server, a cappuccino server doesn't have the career prospects a pension, prospects or a 20% pension, pension or a 20% pension. >> and that's important. >> and that's important. >> a ludicrous comparison. >> it is a ludicrous comparison. >> it is a ludicrous comparison. >> purely political and >> this is purely political and anti—tory political. >> um , action, because at the >> um, action, because at the end of the day , the scottish end of the day, the scottish junior doctors i think, accepted a 12.4% pay rise to come in at 35. and i've got silly lefties on my twitter today saying that you always have to start higher negotiations than it's not starting higher. that's an absolute estate, you know. yeah yeah. >> i mean, as somebody who's been on strike, that is fairly ludicrous. i mean, what my poor friend suffering today said is the thing that makes me mad about you get into about it is once you get into med school, you're basically guaranteed they guaranteed a job and they expect to the as people to be paid the same as people are enormous risks like
4:13 am
are taking enormous risks like barristers competing barristers or competing in in grad schemes. i think the problem is you've had this problem is, is you've had this pyramid system for where years, because everybody was quite posh, you went into medicine, you get not you expected to get paid not much beginning, you'd much at the beginning, and you'd earn a later on. and now, earn a lot later on. and now, now, because diverse now, now, because more diverse background, it's a problem because got problem. but because i've got a problem. but then to spread the then you've got to spread the you've spread the butter you've got to spread the butter thinner across whole thinner across the whole time. >> but there is >> but, but, but there is definitely sense definitely definitely a sense definitely a sense those picket that sense on those picket lines that the that labour the second that there's a labour government problems government then their problems government then their problems go i don't think go away. and i don't think that's and look, that's true. no. and look, wes streeting labour's health spokesperson, streeting labour's health spokespers clear. streeting labour's health spo the iers clear. streeting labour's health spothe 35%lear. streeting labour's health spo the 35% they're streeting labour's health spothe 35% they're dreaming, um , >> the 35% they're dreaming, um, and out is going and they sorting it out is going to be his exact phrase is a journey, not an event. yes, of course we'll what we can, but course we'll do what we can, but it's to be going it's going to be it's not going to but then this continues. to be. but then this continues. >> then this thing, >> but then this is the thing, right? continues. i'm right? this continues. i'm saying heard it. saying there you heard it. there. a change there. we need a change of government. i think the government. well, i think the senior want rid senior doctors want to get rid i mean, to get rid of he mean, they want to get rid of he and the older, the and his co—chair, the older, the more doctors who've more experienced doctors who've already the already settled this is the younger are younger doctors who are in dispute. >> um, and think that there >> um, and i think that there may be a of pressure within may be a bit of pressure within the well, the root problem, apart
4:14 am
>> well, the root problem, apart from um, is that the from the bma, um, is that the nhs for purpose. it's nhs is not fit for purpose. it's had was brilliant had its day. it was brilliant when it came in. but mean, when it came in. but i mean, what in name of is what in the name of matron is the point in having service the point in having a service that free point of that free at the point of delivery if you can't get to see a doctor? we don't need national pay a doctor? we don't need national pay don't, pay negotiations. we don't, because that makes it political. every single individual nhs trust for trust should be negotiating for themselves. . themselves. we should. >> say, can i just >> we can't just say, can i just interrupt? >> ridiculous. >> ridiculous. >> interrupt because we've >> ridiculous. >> a interrupt because we've >> ridiculous. >> a remarkable because we've >> ridiculous. >> a remarkable beca entry e've >> ridiculous. >> a remarkable beca entry into got a remarkable late entry into this actually, this conversation. actually, let me bring in former health minister currie. edwina, minister edwina currie. edwina, thank and thank you very much. okay and i'm you might have i'm hoping that you might have heard my interactions heard some of my interactions with junior doctor with the bma junior doctor co—chair. there and what do you make of that? do you think that these strikes political? these strikes are political? do you be getting you think they should be getting a do you think that a pay rise? do you think that they're responsible excess they're responsible for excess deaths? on. they're responsible for excess dea um, on. they're responsible for excess deaum, i on. they're responsible for excess deaum, i want to say >> um, i want to say congratulations, patrick. >> you took that posh >> i think you took that posh git to pieces effectively. git to pieces very effectively. and i was cheering as you . and i was cheering as you. >> all right. well thank you obviously , um, i don't know if obviously, um, i don't know if it would . it would. >> what i would like to hear though is a great deal more outrage about what they're actually in the middle of actually doing in the middle of the with millions and
4:15 am
the winter with millions and millions of old people. absolutely stiff, because absolutely scared stiff, because actually most of the actually we are most of the patients . we are most of the patients. we are most of the people that are in patients. we have the more complex issues is this is when people slip . this this is when people slip. this is when people break things. this is when they have chosen. nobody's forced them. this is when they have chosen to call the strike in the entire the longest strike in the entire nhs history. this is an outrage, absolute outrage , if anybody absolute outrage, if anybody else. patrick was was, uh, holding to ransom for money for themselves. uh, a group of sick old people and saying, no, no, no, we have to do this. and it's more we're more important. and our highest priority is actually our highest priority is actually our pay. then the whole nation would be screaming at them and saying, what is it? >> one more thing. you said one. one other thing you said to me, edwina, which i would like to put to you is that he said that nurses not striking nurses are not striking and therefore they a therefore therefore they got a worse pay offer. he was adamant that the only way to make the
4:16 am
government listen now, to get their stop losing their demands to stop losing doctors, the way, can doctors, which, by the way, can i view, i say was, in my view, completely by completely undermined by the idea doesn't out idea that he doesn't rule out just anyway, but to stop just leaving anyway, but to stop losing doctors to abroad to losing doctors to abroad is to strike. that don't strike. he feels that they don't really any other option. really have any other option. i think it's fair that we put think it's just fair that we put that now. that across now. >> what he feels is politics. what he says is absolute nonsense. and indeed, one of your guests pointed out your guests pointed that out because scotland they settled because in scotland they settled back in the summer of 2023 for 12.4. that what they've got on offer, what they've what they've had already this year is just under 9. as christine said, there's another 3% on the table that comes to almost the same figure. so how come they can, uh, have have enough scotland and they haven't got enough england ? what's the difference? england? what's the difference? the difference is it's an snp government in scotland and it's a tory government in england about politics. >> i put that to them . i mean, >> i put that to them. i mean, the guy look and a miserable thing that's going on there really is okay. they were very
4:17 am
clear to me when i, when i put it to him, he was saying that there's difficulty the intricacies of the snp's deal with them there, that people didn't that didn't go on strike to get that deal didn't go on strike to get that deal, staggered over deal, that it's staggered over three still three years, etc. they're still striking in wales, they are striking in wales, but they are still striking in wales. there we thank you. matthew laza we go. thank you. matthew laza there. um, well, look, i've got to ask, what of the to ask, what were some of the great margaret great tory leaders like margaret thatcher this? thatcher do about this? >> up >> well, margaret stood up to strike action, she it strike action, and she made it absolutely that don't absolutely clear that you don't give strikes. give in to strikes. >> practical >> i mean, there's a practical element pragmatic element here, a pragmatic element here, a pragmatic element here, a pragmatic element here, which i'm sure keir starmer thinking about as well moment , a keir starmer thinking about as well moment, a government well at the moment, a government starts to to strikes. starts to give in to strikes. two things happen. the first is you get a lot more strikes and you get a lot more strikes and you a lot of pay you also get a lot of pay demands. way to keep demands. and the way to keep inflation under control as we learned back in the 1970s, is actually you have to say no . actually you have to say no. it's quite clear that even in a future labour government that would be exactly the same problem that rachel reeves is promising tax cuts, for heaven's sake, you can't have tax cuts and be paying these guys an awful lot more money that we need to this, this we need to be
4:18 am
