who crossed the channel in small boats illegally , have been boats illegally, have been allowed to work in a single yeah allowed to work in a single year. they've been working in occupations in which there are recognised staff shortages and are paid 80% of the going rate to do so. even the guardian, according this, slave labour will let speak now to our political editor , chris faux political editor, chris faux pas, and i'm also joined in the studio . my great pleasure to studio. my great pleasure to have john redwood. but first have sirjohn redwood. but first to so lengthy to you, chris. so a lengthy debating process, a lengthy debating process, a lengthy debating process, a lengthy debating process kicks off in about ten minutes. time in the lords we spoke about this last week, led by lord goldsmith, who would like to table a series of amendments which basically could mean months and months of delay. >> the beginning of trying to slow down the rwanda plan is starting. government says it starting. the government says it wants these first flights wants to get these first flights off in may this year, and in the spring. today is all about trying to. its the international agreements committee. you've never heard of it, nor would i until nor would i until i came on the show. essentially it's a committee in the lords which

wants the government to delay ratifying the treaty with rwanda until it is actually safe, until the things we know that will take place to look after people flown there, deported there, that that's happening and that that's that's happening and that that's that's happening and that could delay it for months and months. think and months. and months. i think this issue to the main this is a side issue to the main meat consideration of the meat of the consideration of the rwanda will be in rwanda bill, which will be in about time. that's about ten days time. and that's when will i've when it really will start. i've been to talking rebels who rebelled last week. the some of the of the 11 or sources close to they think it will be to them. they think it will be mauled in the will come mauled in the lords will come back recognisable. back barely recognisable. it'll be government's be up to the government's supporters government's supporters and the government's mps to to that bill mps to reach to change that bill and make it put it back to where it was last week, which of course, some would say won't work anyway. >> an unholy >> and it sounds like an unholy coalition of labour, lib dems and nation tories would do and one nation tories would do their to this their very best to derail this and give rishi a major headache. let's talk about this £36 million. um, being spent on private boats to back up. i think that border force that's less concerning though, i think, because essentially it is the

taxpayer . taxpayer. >> yes, but they're doing it because they can't get a boat built on time. because they can't get a boat built on time . so essentially built on time. so essentially they're can't the they're saying we can't get the boat built. let's spend the money on on chartering vessels, boats. >> they can stop , but the boats >> they can stop, but the boats they can't build in time. >> well, in a sense, i just think that if they if they rather going rather than say, we're not going to all, they are trying to do it at all, they are trying to do it at all, they are trying to it with, with a chartered to do it with, with a chartered vessel. it's not vessel. i mean, it's not working. know the working. martin. we know the numbers. hundreds arriving last week. weekend , this >> and at the weekend, this astonishing revelation that 16,000 those arrived, 16,000 of those who arrived, some of whom would have arrived illegally, have been granted work in, in the care work visas in, in the care sector, in construction, in agriculture . a lot of people agriculture. a lot of people saying this is just a red carpet being rolled out to people smugglers. >> the problem is it's the pull factor. so if you're in france , factor. so if you're in france, looking at the uk, what you see there is if you arrive in the uk, you get put up in a hotel and you get work, albeit 80% of the going rate that is still a way to established in this way to get established in this country . and that's country illegally. and that's the problem. i think for a lot of people on on the right of of people on the on the right of this they think, why

this debate, they think, why on earth allowing earth are we allowing this to happen? put people earth are we allowing this to hajinen? put people earth are we allowing this to hajin hotels put people earth are we allowing this to hajin hotels or put people earth are we allowing this to hajin hotels or or put people earth are we allowing this to hajin hotels or or somethingeople earth are we allowing this to hajin hotels or or something one up in hotels or or something on the bars ? not many. how can this the bars? not many. how can this be right? >> okay, chris, i'll stick around. let's turn john around. let's turn to sir john redwood good, john. redwood now for good, sir john. thank you for coming studio. thank you for coming to studio. always of always a pleasure. a lot of conversation illegal conversation around illegal immigration. but of course, you've focussed. rightly immigration. but of course, youfor focussed. rightly immigration. but of course, youfor a focussed. rightly immigration. but of course, youfor a long)cussed. rightly immigration. but of course, youfor a long timead. rightly immigration. but of course, youfor a long time on rightly immigration. but of course, youfor a long time on the 1tly so, for a long time on the thorny topic of legal migration, which, of course is a far greater topic and far costlier to the taxpayer. >> indeed . i mean, over >> well, indeed. i mean, over 700,000 compared with 30,000 of illegals are all invited in. >> all on this cheap labour model. >> and i'm very much against it. i think we should say that we want higher wages, higher productive . we in the united productive. we in the united kingdom, we need to offer training and support and better wages all the people who are wages to all the people who are already here, are working already here, who are of working age, are working. age, who are not working. the government ideas on government has some ideas on that, and i think it's quite wrong to employers bring wrong to let employers bring people in on discount to people in on discount wages to depress the wage level that we see here, and they say it's cheap labour, but it isn't cheap for the taxpayer . and this is

for the taxpayer. and this is the point i've been making the big point i've been making in eu trying to in the debate. the eu trying to work out how much a migrant would cost an eu country in terms of the capital cost of providing a flat and the capital cost for school places and health provision, and then the early years public service costs, they said a quarter of ,1 million in 2016. i've been trying to get the government to either stack up my quarter of £1 million or come up with their own figure , but when you realise own figure, but when you realise it's amount of money, no it's that amount of money, no wonder we're very short on pubuc wonder we're very short on public spending and i see it in my own area where we've had to put in three new primary schools to with all the extra to cope with all the extra people to part of the people coming to our part of the world. there has to be some limit on the numbers . limit on the numbers. >> chris, why is your government allowed tens allowed it to happen? tens of thousands was a target back in 2010, now it's as you say, 2010, and now it's as you say, it's 700,000 plus it's 700,000, 700,000 plus legally arriving here. net. >> well, they shouldn't and i'm very pleased. >> the prime minister said >> the prime minister now said he to reverse that. he wants to reverse that. and he's proposals to he's come up with proposals to take off. when take 300,000 off. but when you're 700, you're starting from 700, that

isn't , because we're isn't enough, because we're still nowhere near where we were in 2019. and i think the reason it happened, as you know, chris, in 2019. and i think the reason it that»ened, as you know, chris, in 2019. and i think the reason it that everybody ou know, chris, in 2019. and i think the reason it that everybody had now, chris, in 2019. and i think the reason it that everybody had aw, chris, in 2019. and i think the reason it that everybody had a goodris, is that everybody had a good case. you know , we need some case. you know, we need some extra workers. need some extra care workers. we need some extra care workers. we need some extra farm we need some extra farm workers. we need some extra farm workers. we need some extra workers . but extra technology workers. but they shouldn't bring in many. they shouldn't bring in so many. and are temporary and if these are temporary shortages , you solve the shortages, you solve the shortage. they did a very good job on drivers. >> we're very short drivers >> we're very short of drivers because the big to because of the big move to onune because of the big move to online over covid and online deliveries over covid and all the rest of it, and they went off and put in the went off and they put in the extra places and they extra training places and they got licenses granted . got the extra licenses granted. >> the wages up and >> they put the wages up and a lot that went away. lot of that shortage went away. that's should be doing that's what they should be doing in sector. that's what that's what they should be doing in should;ector. that's what that's what they should be doing in should;ector. thtin; what that's what they should be doing in should;ector. thtin; whfarm they should be doing in the farm sector. higher productivity, they should be doing in the farm sector. wages' productivity, they should be doing in the farm sector. wages and ductivity, they should be doing in the farm sector. wages and spend:y, they should be doing in the farm sector. wages and spend the higher wages and spend the pubuc higher wages and spend the public money on helping people do the investment in britain , do the investment in britain, don't spend so much public money on trying to backfill the need for all these extra provisions. but isn't the problem now the care agriculture , the care sector, agriculture, the construction hospital , city and construction hospital, city and many other sectors ? many other sectors? >> they're addicted to cheap .

>> they're addicted to cheap. laboun >> they're addicted to cheap. labour. they've had a tap of it for so long, even the guardian on today's front page is saying it's slave labour to get care workers, and 80% of of workers, and 80% of wages. of course you've got the course it is. you've got the you've guardian agreeing course it is. you've got the you'\people guardian agreeing course it is. you've got the you'\people gyourselves'eeing course it is. you've got the you'\people g yourselves that] with people like yourselves that this but nobody seems this is wrong, but nobody seems to have an how fix it. to have an idea how to fix it. the could just switch the government could just switch off visa numbers overnight off those visa numbers overnight , though, couldn't you? >> they >> well, of course they could. and to do and i am urging them to do something more than that. i think huge public think there is huge public support from labour well as support from labour as well as conservative the idea conservative voters for the idea of a higher wage, higher productivity model. um, being paid more for doing more because you've got to technology and support and better systems and so forth. and we could make huge breakthroughs indeed in the pubuc breakthroughs indeed in the public services we've had a shocking 7.5% productivity collapse . according to the collapse. according to the official figures, since 2019. and we need that back. that's 30 billion or more extra payments to achieve the same amount . we to achieve the same amount. we can't go on like that. so they must put all their efforts. the government, into productivity and supporting it with and into supporting it with investment and then they'll get

a lot of savings because they won't need so many new new school places and so many extra subsidised homes to accept in 700,000. and the way i put it is that if you're going to carry on at 700,000, you need to build three of three cities the size of southampton in every year. and you don't just have to build the flats, you've got to build the shops and the utilities , shops and the utilities, schools, the roads, schools and everything. chris, it just everything. yeah chris, it just sounds so frustrating, doesn't it, to many, many viewers. >> i is the problem the >> i mean, is the problem the lack of any, any eating into that large benefits bill? the millions is kind millions on benefits is the kind of the issue or the win that i'm talking about. >> and i think mel stride and the chancellor have now got some goodideas the chancellor have now got some good ideas on how people could want to come off benefits because they're going to be better paid and they get support, can do support, and you can do much more now. so if more home working now. so if you've special needs, it you've got special needs, it may be you up so you can be we can fit you up so you can do quite a lot the work do quite a lot of the work at home, be home, which would be great. these imaginative things home, which would be great. thes want imaginative things home, which would be great. thes want to imaginative things home, which would be great. thes want to do,iaginative things home, which would be great. thes want to do, but1ative things home, which would be great. thes want to do, but they're1ings they want to do, but they're being and don't know they want to do, but they're beinthey and don't know they want to do, but they're beinthey iget don't know they want to do, but they're beinthey get on )n't know they want to do, but they're beinthey get on withznow they want to do, but they're beinthey get on with it.w why they don't get on with it. we're talking about doing some of these things in 2025. no

government got government do it now. we've got the labour shortages now. we've got so many vacancies. now let's try people the try and match the people to the vacancies . vacancies. >> so john you've had >> so john redwood you've had your superb thank your weetabix superb. thank you very stuff. very much. excellent stuff. and to very to you chris thank you very much. let's just quickly move much. so let's just quickly move on. joining me now we've had john will join me now is john redwood will join me now is the labour mp graham. we're john redwood will join me now is the laback mp graham. we're john redwood will join me now is the la back mfjoppaam. we're john redwood will join me now is the laback mfjoppa because 'e're going back to joppa because we've we've got mp we've got we've got a labour mp there. have do there. we have to do a crossover. what do you make of that? he's very fire that? he's very on fire about it. you dead right to that? he's very on fire about it. thatou dead right to that? he's very on fire about it. that basically ead right to that? he's very on fire about it. that basically this right to that? he's very on fire about it. that basically this hast to that? he's very on fire about it. that basically this has been say that basically this has been going on for years. it's been going on for years. it's been going on for years. it's been going on under a conservative government. it's been going on their good to talk government. it's been going on their but good to talk government. it's been going on their but in good to talk government. it's been going on their but in actuald to talk government. it's been going on their but in actual fact. alk tough, but in actual fact. >> labour what's tough, but in actual fact. >> what's labour what's tough, but in actual fact. >> what's their labour what's tough, but in actual fact. >> what's their netour what's tough, but in actual fact. >> what's their net figure.at's their what's their net figure. they on it. they won't put numbers on it. they're till get they're waiting till they get here. really. here. it's all about really. most treasury most people think the treasury drive around , drive this. they want around, um, roughly a quarter of a million people arriving here. net um, to, to keep the economic growth on the same trajectory and almost ignoring these figures, being these people being to languish on being allowed to languish on benefits and many, many will try and get back into work and it's not not worth doing so because

of the way the benefit system is structured. that's the challenge for the next for this government or the next one. do think, you know, one. but i do think, you know, this is all really boris this is all really on boris johnson's big johnson's time. these big numbers, the big net figures, he's very relaxed about these big figures coming big net migration figures coming in and think it's on him. but in and i think it's on him. but of course we back to don't of course we go back to don't we. cameron. we. to david cameron. i want to bnng we. to david cameron. i want to bring down the 100,000. it's bring down the 100,000. now it's seven and it's funny seven times that and it's funny how, know, you've people how, you know, you've got people like one in, how, you know, you've got people like out one in, how, you know, you've got people like out you one in, how, you know, you've got people like out you had one in, how, you know, you've got people like out you had aone in, how, you know, you've got people like out you had a clash, how, you know, you've got people like out you had a clash with one out and you had a clash with him that really him last week, but that really means about 400,000. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> over, over the five year period, about 400,000 net. you know, if you were to get anywhere the reins of anywhere near the reins of power, quite simplistic power, it's quite simplistic though, of course though, because of course employers want certain bespoke skills and employers drive at half the but that half the time. but surely that must be achievable. >> that that's large number. >> that that's a large number. it's the of it's way, way above the tens of thousands the conservatives promised thousands the conservatives pro probably will get down to >> probably will get down to that number. when take out that number. when you take out the people arriving that number. when you take out the from people arriving that number. when you take out the from kong,3 arriving that number. when you take out the from kong, thoseing that number. when you take out the from kong, those from here from hong kong, those from ukraine, you you do allow ukraine, if you if you do allow the these spousal the removal of these spousal visas, the pm is talking visas, which the pm is talking about, fall to that about, it may fall to that figure anyway. but that's still a lot of lot of people. as john redwood was saying .

redwood was saying. >> okay, thank you very much. now, julian now is labour mp graham stringer. graham, thanks for us the studio. forjoining us in the studio. so let's this lord debate let's turn to this lord debate kicks off round about now actually being led by lord goldsmith. of course labour blair's former attorney general. he's already said that this should be ratified. it should not be ratified. it should not be ratified. it should be delayed. it seems like the lords is doing its level best to sink sunak's plan . best to sink sunak's plan. >> well, i, i agree with you. >> well, i, i agree with you. >> um , i think if we turn back >> um, i think if we turn back to the commons and the votes last week, if you listen to what people said, particularly conservative mps, as opposed to the way they voted, uh, there's a natural majority in the commons against this bill. it was the last minute that the whips got 40 tories or thereabouts , who didn't support thereabouts, who didn't support thereabouts, who didn't support the bill. really with threats and under duress to, to support them. but it was voted through in the, it was voted through and there is obviously constitutional issue between the commons and the lords. but i think there's background. the reality is a majority of mps see

this bill as it is at the moment, as irrelevant in dealing with a real problem . with a real problem. >> do you think it's fair? the critics are saying that lord goldsmith and lib dem peers have already sort of said that they will team up, as it were, and then we have the one nation conservatives, the tories, of course, majority in course, don't hold a majority in the lord, so this might start to feel like feel to voters once again, like brexit over again. the lords brexit all over again. the lords is frustrate the will is there to frustrate the will of and ultimately of parliament and ultimately frustrate of the people. >> well, i have grave reservations that and when reservations about that and when we were given a vote in the commons different commons about different alternatives for the lords, i voted to abolish them and would do that again. i think there is something fundamentally wrong in our constitution when unelected people can frustrate , uh, people can frustrate, uh, legislation passed by the commons and in manifestos . i commons and in manifestos. i also worry about hopefully , uh, also worry about hopefully, uh, there will be a labour government that and an incoming labour government won't have a majority in the lords, and i don't want there to be a precedent set , uh, that their

precedent set, uh, that their lordships can frustrate a brand new labour government. so there are real issues there. but as i say, i mean, at the background of this, this is a dreadful bill that people right, left and centre don't think will work. >> okay, chris. well, do you worry though, that if it does work, if numbers are taken off in hundreds, maybe after may, june, let's say that happens and labour comes in. labour will then remove that idea that the whole whole idea of whole idea, the whole idea of trying to off and break trying to put off and break these smuggling gangs, these people, smuggling gangs, i can't any incoming can't speak for any incoming labour government, but i would be if it worked, be very surprised if it worked, if it did work and it had happened the essential happened because the essential argument by the government is this is a threat. >> we threaten these >> once we threaten these people, uh, they will stop coming. i don't believe that people who are willing to risk themselves and their children to cross the channel, and many of them, sadly, have lost their lives , i don't think are going lives, i don't think are going to be put off by the tiny possibility of being shifted off, shipped off to rwanda if

they're not going to be put off by rwanda, do you think there may be encouraged? by rwanda, do you think there ma'ore encouraged? by rwanda, do you think there ma'ore ymightaged?pull factor? >> or it might be a pull factor? today found out £36 million today we found out £36 million is to spent on boats to is going to be spent on boats to aid people ashore. that's hardly stopping the boats . stopping the boats. >> it's extraordinary. i didn't know about it until i was ianed know about it until i was invited onto this programme. it's extraordinary. it seems to me. i looked at the figures and what was going on, and the home office produced very exact figures , presumably from these figures, presumably from these boats , about how many people and boats, about how many people and i didn't really lies that they were paying people to help them until recently. they the home office. i don't think, have their hearts and minds in the government's policies . they seem government's policies. they seem more interested in watching and aiding rather than implement counting. i mean, again, across the whole of the house of commons, nobody is happy with these boats crossing the channels . it seems to me, apart channels. it seems to me, apart from officials in the home office. >> okay, graham, briefly, we could sir keir starmer today

accusing the tory party of a kind of mccarthyism , um, stoking kind of mccarthyism, um, stoking up woke . culture wars, as he up woke. culture wars, as he puts it, talking about the national trust, but also the royal national lifeboat institute. part of this issue, of course, that a fair thing of course, is that a fair thing for starmer to say? a lot of people are concerned that the great british institutions are becoming more woke. they're undermining is undermining british history. is this that starmer this an indication that starmer is going to be in bed with that kind of mindset? >> not, i genuinely hope >> i hope not, i genuinely hope not. and it's very difficult to answer that question because i, i what's happened in the i know what's happened in the national trust and i know what's happenedin national trust and i know what's happened in the lifeboat services other parts services in other parts of the pubuc services in other parts of the public . i think it's much public sector. i think it's much easier to deal with those questions on a item by item detail by detail. uh question rather than are you woke or anti—woke? i i think some of the things the national trust have done have been, uh, well , done have been, uh, well, they've distorted history. really not to the advantage of our country . and i think that's our country. and i think that's wrong. but i'd prefer to discuss that rather saying , are

that rather than saying, are they woke? are they naughty? and woke? we should push them off. these detailed that these are detailed things that should in detail. okay. >> thank you much. labour >> thank you very much. labour mp and chris mp graham stringer and chris faux very much. faux pas, thank you very much. great. top of the show now coming up. there's still weather warnings in place after many parts britain were battered parts of britain were battered by ayesha we'll get by storm. ayesha we'll get updates from some of the worst hit daubney on hit areas. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel .

sadly a man in his 60s lost his life last night on the coleraine, limavady shore road. there was a collision with two vans and a fallen tree that was right in in the mouth of mcgilligan , where winds were mcgilligan, where winds were recorded of up to 80 miles an hour.i recorded of up to 80 miles an hour . i was recorded of up to 80 miles an hour. i was trying to do a live there last night and i was finding it hard to stay on my feet, but yeah, northern ireland has took quite the hammering. it's still about 40,000 homes without power . the republic of without power. the republic of ireland took the worst of it. it must be said there's about 235,000 properties this morning . 235,000 properties this morning. had no power there either. and of course, this has brought a real problems to the infrastructure of northern ireland. but it is used to it. the electricity companies here are very well rehearsed and getting power back to those that needit getting power back to those that need it the most. and of course those that need it the most are in the most populated areas. they're on first. but of course , they're on first. but of course, those in the country areas are

having to wait. and as you've said, and next storm is on its way in. i mean, even now sitting here, there has been so squally showers coming in. but you can feel the wind getting up once again and starting to come to , again and starting to come to, in uh, belfast loch. and of course belfast loch last night rather unfortunately, the stena line ferry from liverpool had to circle for nearly ten hours out in the mouth of the loch because it couldn't dock here. so really northern ireland, just as it's going to get back up and running again, it is. look looking like it's going to be hit one. okay >> thank you. dougie beattie from belfast . now let's cross from belfast. now let's cross now to sophie reaper who's in blackpool sophie looking very windy there blowing a hoolie. what's latest ? what's the latest? >> it is indeed a really rather iconic sight here over my shoulder, but i can tell you that throughout all of last night and throughout all of today, it has been absolutely battered by storm, by the storm

itself . the waves have been itself. the waves have been crashing in on the flood defences, the rain came in earlier. the temperature has plummeted. so whether or not we're seeing the end of storm isha or we're starting to see storm jocelyn, you mentioned there, we're starting to see the impacts of that here in blackpool. i'm not sure, but it's certainly other. it's certainly one or the other. we obviously overnight were in the amber weather warning that was downgraded by the met office this morning. but we are still in a yellow wind warning which means there is potential danger to life from flying debris. we've seen all manner of things flying around here in blackpool today. there's also the risk of power cuts. many people have been left without power across the nation today. there's also been major disruption in the travel sector . flights grounded, travel sector. flights grounded, trains cancelled , roads closed. trains cancelled, roads closed. it is really been carnage here in the north—west, but also all over the uk , and it looks as over the uk, and it looks as though there really isn't going to be any kind of respite for people in the nation as we're now set to see storm jocelyn set in in the coming hours.

>> okay, sophie reaper in blackpool and dougie beattie in belfast . thank you for those belfast. thank you for those updates on storm ayesha. now there's lots more still to come between now and 4:00, and the bbc faces tougher scrutiny over bias . and this comes after bias. and this comes after complaints against the corporation rocketed by 50% in a year. corporation rocketed by 50% in a year . and we'll have nadine year. and we'll have nadine dorries, the former culture secretary, right after this. that should get spicy. but first, here's your latest news headunes first, here's your latest news headlines with tatiana sanchez . headlines with tatiana sanchez. >> marty thank you. 331 your top stories from the gb newsroom . a stories from the gb newsroom. a five day strike by lner train drivers next month has been called off. it comes as members of aslef prepare to launch a series of strikes and an overtime ban from the 29th of january in their long running dispute over pay. london north east railway drivers were due to walk out from the 5th of february amid speculation about

an opinion on the matter. however, government recommendations say it will be given increased oversight over the bbc's online public services , including its news site and youtube. , including its news site and youtube . channel. and the queen youtube. channel. and the queen has toured a domestic violence refuge to celebrate the service's 50th anniversary. see her majesty met staff volunteer and families at swindon domestic abuse support service during her visit, queen camilla told a well—wisher the king is fine as he prepares to undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate this week . the 75 year old for an enlarged prostate this week. the 75 year old king charles says he's keen to go pubuc charles says he's keen to go public with his condition to encourage other men to get checked . you can get more on all checked. you can get more on all of those stories by visiting our website, gbviews@gbnews.com . website, gbviews@gbnews.com. >> for stunning gold and silver coins, you'll always value

broadcasting landscape, which is gb news. >> while loss making gb news has built a significant following both on linear tv and online, would agree with the would you agree with the assertion that it has transformed our broadcasting landscape? >> i'm in favour of media plurality and what that means is that there's a wide variety of views across , um, out there for views across, um, out there for people to watch and listen to. so that audiences can find the views that they want to hear and gb news is an important part of that landscape. it's decided to be regulated by ofcom as indeed many other broadcasters have . many other broadcasters have. but i think it's really important that we have that, uh, variety of views . variety of views. >> there we go. the bbc criticise and they criticise gb news textbook. so joining me now is former secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport nadine dorries . welcome to sport nadine dorries. welcome to the show nadine . superb to have the show nadine. superb to have you on. so this must be like groundhog day for you. um, here we are again. culture secretary lucy frazer saying the bbc must adapt and reform or risk losing

the trust trust of the audience. it relies rise upon. you've been saying this for years. do you think the bbc is completely broken ? broken? >> yeah. and sadly, what's been announced today is just too little, too late. >> and it's no coincidence that it's been announced just when we're in an election year. >> but course, there's very >> but of course, there's very little to put anything into little time to put anything into practice place. practice or into place. >> what's happened now, to practice or into place. >> clear,�*s happened now, to practice or into place. >> clear, is1appened now, to practice or into place. >> clear, is legallyed now, to practice or into place. >> clear, is legally andyw, to practice or into place. >> clear, is legally and under to be clear, is legally and under the bindings of the royal charter, the midtum review has to be launched and what you had today was to coincide with the launch of the midtum review, because it'd be quite bizarre to launch the mid—tum review of the bbc royal charter without any announcements to accompany it. >> but i think what is more important and what was said today really covers up is this there was a review that was due to be launched about how the bbc is funded and the bbc licence fee and, and that was delayed by rishi sunak over and over. >> it was blocked when he was

chancellor. >> he actually said to me, no, you can't do this because it's a taxation policy, and taxation policy is the treasury. >> it isn't a taxation policy. >> it isn't a taxation policy. >> but you blocked and blocked it and last a few weeks ago, in december , on a busy news day, december, on a busy news day, the government slipped out onto its website that it has launched the review. but it's said the review would be undertaken by an independent panel of experts, and they have yet to announce who that is. >> i think the most important thing that we can deduce from that today is despite all these other announcements , with no other announcements, with no backup as to when it's happening and how the accountability is going to be displayed , are we going to be displayed, are we going to be displayed, are we going how are we going to know that ofcom are holding the onune that ofcom are holding the online presence of the bbc social media? >> the most important thing is this that as result of the this that as a result of the government holding up that review of the bbc licence fee, the licence fee is here to stay because there is no way, i was told when i was culture

secretary it would take at least three years to bring a change about. they have deliberately stalled until now , until it is stalled until now, until it is therefore not possible to change therefore not possible to change the bbc funding model . so the the bbc funding model. so the bbc licence fee is here to stay and it will continue to rise and people will. 3500 prosecutions, a month are taking place, people will still be prosecuted. the most vulnerable people for non—payment of the licence fee. thatis non—payment of the licence fee. that is the shocking piece of news about the bbc. that's not what anyone is talking about and that's what's being buried, if you like, by this window dressing today of the fact that ofcom will be holding the bbc to account online content . account for its online content. >> yeah, and of course, you refer to a report and yesterday , refer to a report and yesterday, the sunday nadine, 3500 a the sunday times. nadine, 3500 a month licence fees are being or being prosecuted often in closed courts, without any chance of representation, including disabled people , those in disabled people, those in wheelchairs who just missed a single payment and indeed, people that paid their payments for them may themselves have been through bereavements. this paints doesn't it,

paints a picture, doesn't it, nadine, a heartless , uncaring nadine, of a heartless, uncaring organisation only intent on making profit at any cost . making profit at any cost. >> yeah, and i think it's, um , >> yeah, and i think it's, um, it's the problem with the bbc. it is a huge organisation and it's grown beyond its own ability to control itself and to regulate itself. it's got too big. and, you know, when you have large organisations , have large organisations, whether it's the bbc or the nhs , whether it's the bbc or the nhs, that a culture develops and a culture grows and it becomes the culture grows and it becomes the culture becomes so huge that it doesn't matter who you've got at the top. they just can no longer it becomes monster and it's it becomes a monster and it's a monster control. and monster they can't control. and that is what has happened with the and those 3500 the bbc and those 3500 prosecutions per month, 76% of those are women. and why is that? it's because women quite often take responsibility for household bills, particularly those in single parent households. they're the women who take responsibility and pay the bills, and they're the ones who are being prosecuted and it's, you know, doesn't matter how often i come on tv stations

like yours or how often i write about it in my column in the daily mail, it's still continues to just roll on as it is. nothing takes place and it's to change the process . and that's change the process. and that's what we're stuck with now . we're what we're stuck with now. we're stuck with the bbc licence fee. we've probably got an incoming labour government. will never labour government. it will never change fee will change the licence fee will continue to have to pay more for it the bbc will ofcom is it and the bbc will ofcom is best. efforts will continue just as it is. >> uh, okay nadine, you say it will never change, but a lot of people do want it to change and you're one them. in fact, in you're one of them. in fact, in 2022, saying the 2022, you were saying the current is completely current model is completely outdated and the bbc, the ofcom should hold the bbc to account and we need a completely new way of the bbc. what would of funding the bbc. what would you to see happen ? you like to see happen? >> so the review, which i had ready to go on the day boris johnson was we were ready to launch that the following week. um, should have been launched years , what i want years ago. i mean, what i want to see happen has been timed out . um, i mean, if we get a conservative government next time, then maybe we can go

again. but i promise you again. but i can promise you that an incoming labour government nothing to government will do nothing to reform in any reform the bbc in any substantial way that will impact an individual who's paying the licence or in having to licence fee or in having to listen to content which lacks impartiality. listen to content which lacks impartiality . you know, the impartiality. you know, the dyson review, which took place, what, three, four years ago now and found the bbc lacked impartiality. the bbc launched its own ten point impartiality plan in response to the dyson review. to address those issues . review. to address those issues. we've just had the hamas israeli conflict. did we see that ten point impartiality plan playing through when the presenters refused to call hamas a terrorist organisation? no, we didn't, and so it has made no difference. and i'm afraid that, you know, it frustrates me . and you know, it frustrates me. and i had the full backing of the prime minister, boris johnson , prime minister, boris johnson, in launching the review of the bbc licence fee and in finding an innovative way of funding the bbc without losing those core

functions. the bbc, which are important, you know, it is important, you know, it is important to say the bbc is a beacon of broadcasting across the globe without losing those core functions. how could we? how could we make it better value for people in the uk who are having to pay ever increasing costs? i had his full backing. um, but i didn't have the backing of the chancellor rishi doesn't rishi sunak and it doesn't appear that the people have the backing of rishi sunak now, because this is just window dressing. the bbc licence dressing. and the bbc licence fee is here to stay . fee is here to stay. >> superb. great food for thought . >> superb. great food for thought. nadine >> superb. great food for thought . nadine dorries, former thought. nadine dorries, former secretary state for digital, secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport. thank you for joining culture, media and sport. thank you forjoining us on gb news superb now coming up, superb stuff. now coming up, more than 300 schools have been told to stop calling pupils boys and girls after signing up to a scheme run by controversial trans rights lobbying group stonewall . i'm martin daubney on stonewall. i'm martin daubney on gb news britain's news channel .

discussion, gb news is the people's channel, britain's news channel. >> welcome back. 346 you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news now lgbtq+ charity stonewall is telling schools not to call pupils boys or girls instead , the lobby or girls instead, the lobby group is urging them to use children or young people, and teachers should use they instead of he or she. it's all about the pronouns . of he or she. it's all about the pronouns. i'm of he or she. it's all about the pronouns . i'm joined now by pronouns. i'm joined now by miranda yardley, who's a human

rights activist . miranda, rights activist. miranda, welcome to the show. always as a voice of common sense , i've got voice of common sense, i've got a basic question for you . why is a basic question for you. why is it inclusive of to use they them pronouns and stop calling humans as boys or girls in schools when only at a at an optimistic estimation ? there are 0.5% of estimation? there are 0.5% of the population who is trans, so surely it is exclusionary to 99.5% of the population to go down this route . down this route. >> it's only inclusive of in the sense that it is part of the diverse hs2, equality, inclusion industrial complex that has taken over the, uh, the, um, the way the systems , the way a lot way the systems, the way a lot of public services are now run. >> um, what what this is doing is it's importing this very damaging gender identity ideology into school and taking away from children the ability

to describe themselves as boys or girls to correctly sex themselves to, to be able to say what they actually are instead of follow some, uh, some sort of genenc of follow some, uh, some sort of generic , imprecise language is, generic, imprecise language is, um, is not want to bring up a trope about orwell or anything, but this is exactly what orwell wrote about in his essay politics in the english language. >> it's all about taking meaning away from words and allowing really, it's all about allowing this very damaging ideology to be imported into schools and other services . other services. >> it's interesting you mentioned the word damage because i was going to ask you next, miranda, is there any evidence that any of this is making happier because making children happier because my own children who go to school have this stuff rammed down their they're confused their throats, they're confused and they're frightened saying and they're frightened of saying the thing. it's dividing the wrong thing. it's dividing peer . it's causing people

peer groups. it's causing people to be more exclusive and terrified . where is the good in terrified. where is the good in it ? it? >> i that's a really, really good question. i there is there is no good in it. it's not it doesn't work for anybody. i would say that this doesn't even work for trans identified people either , because what's what either, because what's what what's actually happening here is this type of ideology is being rammed down people's throats . it's, uh, rather than throats. it's, uh, rather than them being allowed to make up their own mind, i would imagine that most, most people, your average individual would be, uh, compassionate and tolerant of people living their lives the way that they want to , um, the way that they want to, um, the and i think people should be allowed to make up their own decisions about doing things like that without having an an ideology rammed into them as especially something that is being done amongst children. there are specific protections within the education acts that

are there to afford protection and dignity for , for, for, for and dignity for, for, for, for girls and for boys as well to allow them to have, um, sex at facilities to and enjoy sports separately. so competition is fair and to allow them the ability to change, um, you know, to, to change, um, without being amongst people of the opposite sex and what's actually happening here is that these, that protection and the dignity that's being afforded them by the law is being taken away by this. absolutely awful organisation. stonewall who doesn't even bat for lesbians and gay men anymore? the official line from the former ceo was that anybody who any anybody who is um, same sex attracted , uh, rather than being attracted, uh, rather than being attracted, uh, rather than being attracted to gender is guilty of some form of sexual apartheid. >> okay, we have to leave it there. miranda yardley. superb common sense as ever. boys will

be boys and girls will be girls. thank you very much. now, taxi driver in shropshire has won his appeal to display the union flag on the bonnet of his taxi. basil brockhurst, who served in the british army in northern ireland and been told by and iraq, have been told by shropshire council to remove the flag, was against the flag, stating it was against the council's licensing policy . council's licensing policy. well, joining me now is author and social cohesion expert raqeeb ahsan . welcome to the raqeeb ahsan. welcome to the show raqeeb . so once again it's show raqeeb. so once again it's the war on the union flag. why i think this is just a disgraceful really . really. >> we're talking about a man who served in our military for the best part of four decades. three tours of northern ireland, uh, served in iraq as well. tours of northern ireland, uh, served in iraq as well . all he served in iraq as well. all he wants to do is put a union flag and a saint george's flag on his taxi. but it seems like , uh, taxi. but it seems like, uh, count a local councillor who seems to have a serious issue with it, saying that it's. i believe, potentially divisive .

believe, potentially divisive. and i think out of all the things in our society which are divisive , this certainly isn't divisive, this certainly isn't mine . mine. >> yeah. and actually, the union flag is a flag that brings us the united kingdom together. it's the opposite of divisive. it's the opposite of divisive. it's actually totally inclusive. but what is it raqib about the woke mindset that hates our flag? so much? well i think that many people , uh, of that, uh , many people, uh, of that, uh, political persuasion , if you political persuasion, if you could call it that , they have a could call it that, they have a fundamentally warped view of british history and heritage and its tradition , and it extends its tradition, and it extends further when it comes to race relations and its record on matters of equality , which is matters of equality, which is why they see the union flag almost as a symbol of oppression , uh, which is quite laughable, really, but ultimately , this is really, but ultimately, this is this is a freedom of expression issue as well. >> we have a gentleman who, as i said, served in our military for the best part of four decades.

all wants to do is put a all he wants to do is put a union flag and the saint george's flag on his own vehicle, and i think that for a local council to intervene in something like that, i mean, we're not talking about flags of proscribed organisation . oh, proscribed organisation. oh, we're the union we're talking about the union flag the saint george's flag and the saint george's flag. quite remarkable flag. i find it quite remarkable that , um, flag. i find it quite remarkable that, um, local authorities would intervene in such a way . would intervene in such a way. >> yeah. and presumably they're quite happy , often times with quite happy, often times with the palestinian flag being flown above town halls or the ukrainian flag , but they seem to ukrainian flag, but they seem to have a particular chagrin for our own flag . our own flag. >> no, absolutely. i think that all too often when it comes to pubuc all too often when it comes to public buildings, i think they've been there have been too many have been many flags which have been displaced , uh, displayed, uh, in displaced, uh, displayed, uh, in my opinion, i think more generally what it says, you call it woke mindset set. um, mine. but for me, the sort of radical progressive mindset, the was ultimately a self—loathing. there uh, a vilification of britain. what it stands for a

fundamentally warped view of its history, which is why it feels like it needs to intervene in such a way . the like it needs to intervene in such a way. the union like it needs to intervene in such a way . the union flag like it needs to intervene in such a way. the union flag is a symbol, as you say, is a unity. um, it's one of the most inclusive societies on earth. that's an argument that i've made on a number of occasions , made on a number of occasions, andifs made on a number of occasions, and it's such a shame that people could look at the union flag, and there instant reaction would be, this is potentially divisive offensive, and we divisive and offensive, and we should intervene when a former a man who served in the military just wants to put in his own taxi. >> okay , we have to leave it >> okay, we have to leave it there. speaking common sense as usual. have more on that. usual. i have much more on that. that that debate the that plus that debate in the lords rwanda coming up after lords on rwanda coming up after this. martin on this. i'm martin daubney on gb news . news. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb solar sponsors of weather on. gb news afternoon i'm alex deakin. >> this is your latest weather update from the met office for gb news storm isha is out of the

superb. thank you very much catherine. that was feisty . um, catherine. that was feisty. um, andifs catherine. that was feisty. um, and it's certainly something that gets the people going out there. we can argue all we like about the backlog in asylum seeker cases , which allows the seeker cases, which allows the grant the right to work. grant grants the right to work. beg your pardon? but isn't that part the problem? we have this huge that's huge backlog, a system that's groaning at the seams. as groaning at the seams. and as a consequence, everybody's being let down. >> a part of the >> it's a huge part of the problem. , if you problem. and clearly, if you allow people work , yes, allow these people to work, yes, it does exacerbate the pull factors. the whole point of the rwanda policy was when it was originally announced. priti patel said, if you come here illegally , you will be put on illegally, you will be put on a one way ticket to rwanda . you one way ticket to rwanda. you will not be coming back now, clearly , if that had been clearly, if that had been implemented, the flow of people across the channel would have dned across the channel would have dried up pretty quickly, wouldn't we're wouldn't it? now we're in a position that we may or may not send to rwanda at some send people to rwanda at some unspecified date. there unspecified future date. there may be a number of appeals and the deterrent effect drops very signify rightly. mark white, our home and security editor, was in

calais a few weeks ago , and he calais a few weeks ago, and he basically said that migrants thought the whole thing was a joke and they just laughed at the notion of it. but in terms of working, sure , it increases of working, sure, it increases the pull factors , but at the the pull factors, but at the same time it saves us money, doesn't it? because if they are earning, you mentioned a very small amount of money. what i understand is they're getting 80% of the normal rate . then 80% of the normal rate. then they are earning money. then the costs are smaller of support. lee and lee is shaking his head. >> no, the costs aren't small. catherine because it increases the pull factor and more and more people keep coming across the channel that increases the cost. already £8 cost. it already costs £8 million it £6 million million a day. it was £6 million a if you've got people a day. so if you've got people working, you say it's saving money. it's not. it's encouraging migrants encouraging more migrants to come channel cost come across the channel and cost the millions and the taxpayer millions and millions pounds. millions of pounds. >> can't have it both ways. >> you complain about them costing they costing the taxpayer money they want own two want to stand on their own two feet and fend for themselves. and that. you and you complain about that. you

can't it both ways. can't have it both ways. >> okay, we have to leave it there, gentlemen, >> okay, we have to leave it there, forster gentlemen, >> okay, we have to leave it there, forster gent samson , katherine forster ivan samson, lee anderson. excellent debate, katherine forster ivan samson, lee we've son. excellent debate, katherine forster ivan samson, lee we've got excellent debate, katherine forster ivan samson, lee we've got ex crackt debate, katherine forster ivan samson, lee we've got ex crack on. ebate, but we've got to crack on. sadly. now, sir starmer sadly. now, sir keir starmer is accusing party of accusing the tory party of championing woke agendas to save their own skin. in a speech , the their own skin. in a speech, the labour leader set out his hopes for a society service and for a society of service and went on to accuse the conservative government of waging war against the country's greatest institutions and charities. well, to discuss this, i'm joined now by former labour mp simon danczuk. simon, welcome to the show. always a pleasure. so here we are. starmer's laying into the tories on woke issues, but these are issues actually. simon which do get a lot of people irritated. they do feel that things like the national trust and the royal national lifeboat institution are having a political agenda. what's your take? >> well, it's an interesting speech that keir starmer has made today. it's the civil society summit that's been held in london. >> and at one point he says, i'm not here to talk about the tories and then proceeds to talk

at length about the tories, and he attacks them for their position in relation to the national trust and rnli . national trust and the rnli. >> and i think the conservatives are to on something here. i think they are right to challenge the national trust on what agenda has been, and what their agenda has been, and the most worrying issue here, i think, is that keir starmer is trying to normalise the walker agenda. >> he's trying to make it acceptable to have the views in terms of diversity, in terms of lgbtq, in terms of slavery and colonialism . um, he's trying to colonialism. um, he's trying to normalise it because the truth is, keir is captain walk. >> i mean, that's the reality of it. he takes the knee for black lives matter. >> uh, he struggles to define a woman. he's usually on the side of the illegal immigrant, rather than the british citizen. so he's trying to normalise this whole agenda . whole agenda. >> and i think that's the serious part of this speech that he's made today.

>> and, simon, don't you think in past . well, and to this in the past. well, and to this day, everything that conservatives no , the right conservatives or no, the right are concerned about. oh that's racist dismissed a racist. it was dismissed with a flick wrist . and now flick of a wrist. and now if you're about churchill you're concerned about churchill being called a racist or a review of national trust properties because they're unked properties because they're linked to slavery or the empire or the rnli, a lot of people told me in person in dover, they are concerned it's being used as are concerned it's being used as a taxi service. as sure, if you say this, oh, it's just culture war. uh don't be, don't be ridiculous. and it's the same issue. it's starmer trying to dismiss legitimate concerns with a flick of a wrist. it used to be racist. ah, now it's just culture war. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and that's what we have to be careful about. i think the good news that are news is that people are challenging agenda. challenging this woke agenda. the national trust have quite clearly it wrong in terms of clearly got it wrong in terms of being overly politicised. so most recently they've been campaigning on net zero. listen, theirjob is around heritage surely they have 5.5 million members who pay for the national

trust to look after our stately homes across the uk. now get on with that with rather than having a net zero policy or trying to influence politics, they have got it wrong in terms of winston churchill . of winston churchill. >> they've got it wrong in terms of slavery and the empire that we should be proud of. we should be celebrating these things. so it's good that people challenge this woke agenda . this woke agenda. >> but trust me, as sure as night follows day, if we have a labour government with keir starmer in downing street, he will be promoting that sort of agenda. >> that is the nature of his politics. his north london labour elite and that's that's a key part of their agenda. it's a concern to me. >> it's a concern to many people. simon danczuk thank you very much for joining people. simon danczuk thank you very much forjoining us. former labour mps astonished sometimes, simon, want get you on that. simon, want to get you on that. you actually were ever a labour mp with with opinions like that. we're sniggering the we're all sniggering in the studio. like basically we're all sniggering in the stucanderson, like basically we're all sniggering in the stucanderson, withbasically lee anderson, but with a different rosette that is

certainly didn't ask any of the voters , uh, or the people of voters, uh, or the people of birmingham. there was no public consultation . it's just been consultation. it's just been based on this idea , the that the based on this idea, the that the motorist is a bad thing and everything to do with the green economy is a good thing. >> well, howard, i'd like to hazard as why they're hazard a guess as to why they're doing because the devil is doing it, because the devil is in , as usual. and doing it, because the devil is in say , as usual. and doing it, because the devil is in say here , as usual. and doing it, because the devil is in say here they'rejal. and doing it, because the devil is in say here they're going|d doing it, because the devil is in say here they're going to they say here they're going to sell off car to developers sell off car parks to developers for productive use. now, for more productive use. now, bearin for more productive use. now, bear in mind, howard, that birmingham city council has recently declared itself bankrupt are they basically selling off car parks to cover up their own debt ? and what will up their own debt? and what will happen then is either motorists can't get into birmingham or they'll get tickets if they try . they'll get tickets if they try. >> well, you beat me. to my next point, i was going to say exactly that. martin, you got it. spot on as ever. um, and don't forget this. it's. they've it. spot on as ever. um, and dona forget this. it's. they've it. spot on as ever. um, and don a forge mayor it's. they've it. spot on as ever. um, and don a forge mayor that they've it. spot on as ever. um, and don a forge mayor that .hey've it. spot on as ever. um, and dona forge mayor that . youye it. spot on as ever. um, and dona forgemayor that . you can't got a tory mayor that. you can't believe this. this is a conservative administration. you can't blame on labour. even can't blame it on labour. even though one of the labour councillors behind it is a transport for it. uh, transport spokesman for it. uh, they are the ones actually

driving this. and so, to use the pun, uh , the simple thing is no pun, uh, the simple thing is no one was asked. it's totally undemocratic . what is going on undemocratic. what is going on with this thing . and i repeat, with this thing. and i repeat, it will ruin the economy of birmingham. i just don't get it. and howard birmingham also has a clean air zone, a kind of mini ulez . ulez. >> it's only a mere £8 a day to drive in birmingham. now, if you have a non—compliant car as opposed to 15, wherever it is in london. but a staggering , um, london. but a staggering, um, piece of data that came to light here. howard, the council in birmingham has lost 2500 car parking spaces every year since 2012. this is a long terme downward trend , and you can only downward trend, and you can only conclude that they simply want cars off the road . but what are cars off the road. but what are people meant to do to get about? >> well, this is the point . it >> well, this is the point. it is. this is the whole country is doing it and the government are not stopping these local authorities doing it, particularly as you well know, in london, we're seeing at in london, what we're seeing at the the driver is the moment is the driver is being if you've 95%

national insurance , sunak says national insurance, sunak says the economy is beginning to turn a corner . but is that true? a corner. but is that true? well, joining me now is the man who knows the answer to that. it's liam halligan, news it's liam halligan, gb news economics and business editor with money . so an with on the money. so an elections coming up, liam and once again it's the economy , once again it's the economy, stupid. but seriously, it's tax cuts or die surely for rishi. >> look, the tories are trying desperately to get a narrative running that the economy is improving. >> there's more money in your pocket. inflation is coming down. interest rates are coming down. interest rates are coming down. retail sales are going up . down. retail sales are going up. there's a feel good factor coming . it's there's a feel good factor coming. it's round there's a feel good factor coming . it's round the corner coming. it's round the corner here. it comes. which is why they want to have an election in sort of september , october, sort of september, october, november rather than april or may. >> they're desperately trying to get attention away from the mess almost, said a rude word there in the house of commons, as rishi sunak tries to tackle the

small boat problem with a lot of opposition, of course, coming from within his own party. >> had rachel reeves, the >> so we had rachel reeves, the shadow chancellor at the sort of swanky gabfest in switzerland , swanky gabfest in switzerland, davos, saying that labour is now the party of low taxation. we want to celebrate success. we want to celebrate success. we want to celebrate success. we want to cut the top rate of tax, says labour. crikey. when liz truss said that everybody thought was mad, didn't thought she was mad, didn't they? but that's because there's an election coming. so people get a bit, a little bit get a little bit, a little bit economic with the actuality as the great political diarist alan clark once said, so look, rishi sunak has tried to grab the narrative. he's written an article in the sun, uh, and this is what he said about tax. i've been working flat out to get the economy back on track, says the prime by halving prime minister by halving inflation, reducing debt and boosting where we can, we boosting growth where we can, we will always prioritise cuts will always prioritise tax cuts to put more of people's money in their . of course, to put more of people's money in their sunak . of course, to put more of people's money in their sunak as of course, to put more of people's money in their sunak as chancellor se, to put more of people's money in their sunak as chancellor and rishi sunak as chancellor and jeremy hunt now as chancellor, they've presided over tax rises, not least those stealth taxes

freezing the thresholds where tax starts at the basic rate, the upper rates, the top rates. so more and more people get dragged into those tax brackets. taxation ian martin, the so—called tax burden, the share of the economy taken by tax is at a 70 year high cri key. and this is a conservative government and that's why labour are coming back saying no, no, no, you're the low tax no, you're not the low tax party. the low tax party party. we're the low tax party here. we darren jones. here. we have darren jones. he's a shadow treasury minister. he's one of rachel reeves s g peers. we're going to be hearing a lot more from him here. here he is. this tory government is the highest government all highest taxing government of all time country. that's not time in this country. that's not quite . um, but it is on quite true. um, but it is on some definitions, i guess. and no amount of speak will no amount of double speak will make forget that the make people forget that the tories failed. tories have failed. >> look in the end, uk elections , as you know. >> well, martin, you've been a politician. earn yourself an elected politician . they're one elected politician. they're one in the centre ground. you've got about a of people on the

about a third of people on the right, you've got about a third of people on the left. then you've got a third of people in the middle, the so—called swing voters, going to the middle, the so—called swing voteron going to the middle, the so—called swing voteron what going to the middle, the so—called swing voteron what we going to the middle, the so—called swing voteron what we calling to the middle, the so—called swing voteron what we call pocketbook vote on what we call pocketbook and wallet issues. am i going to be better off? my family be better off? is my family going and that going to be better off? and that comes down to tax. yes, immigration is important in this election. yes. issues to do with europe brexit may still be europe and brexit may still be important. of other important. all kinds of other issues, but it's always about the economy. stupid as you said. and that's about tax. >> the big question is though, the biscuit tin is completely empty. >> 2.6 trillion in debt, which makes small beer of that liam byrne. there's money left. byrne. there's no money left. note how can they afford tax cuts ? cuts? >> there is a lot of debt, but if you can growth then if you can get growth going then you more tax revenue. you generate more tax revenue. there's activity and the there's more activity and the budget deficit starts to fall. and then you can maybe afford tax cuts . that's certainly what tax cuts. that's certainly what jeremy hunt is hoping. he's got a budget on march the 6th. he's looking for what they call that fiscal headroom . and there'll be fiscal headroom. and there'll be lots of arm twisting going on with the office for budget

responsibility, the kind of in the dark, um, civil servants, as it were, who basically say if the government's got the fiscal room for manoeuvre to do what it wants to do in terms of both spending lower taxes, there spending and lower taxes, there is objectively signs of a bit more fiscal headroom now. but crikey, the tories have got a long way to go because a lot of people are really upset by those stealth sunak is now stealth taxes. sunak is now determining which kind of taxes they want to cut for a long time, the tories have been saying they want to cut inheritance tax. i personally think because that think that's nuts because that only really applies to relative well—off families . i think they well—off families. i think they should be cutting what we call the starting rate of income tax rate , the personal allowance to rate, the personal allowance to take people is currently 12.5 grand, all the way up to £20,000. so if you earn less than £20,000 a year, the average wage is about £32,000, then you don't actually pay any income tax. of course you're still paying tax. of course you're still paying vat, still paying council tax, lots of other taxes . i've tax, lots of other taxes. i've been arguing that in my telegraph for months telegraph column for months and months it seems

months and months. it seems downing with this article downing street with this article from sunak is now coming round to point of view, because to that point of view, because sunakis to that point of view, because sunak is talking about cutting personal taxes, cutting national insurance a bit more. i would i wouldn't do the top rate of tax though. again, it's a small number of people. i would start with a basic rate of income tax. the personal allowance. so as many people have as possible benefit if you if you look at those, if you look if you raise the top rate, the basic rate starting allowance to £20,000, you take 3 or 4 million people out of tax, including a lot of people who get the basic state pension, of course, on which we are taxed. >> superb. okay. liam halligan , >> superb. okay. liam halligan, it's almost like rishi sunak. read column. read your telegraph column. always lad. always a pleasure. good lad. it's moving on. it's been said. okay moving on. florida governor ron desantis will no longer be challenging donald trump in the race to be the republican presidential candidate in the 2024 election and ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources. >> if we don't have a clear path

to victory . accordingly, i am to victory. accordingly, i am today suspending my campaign . today suspending my campaign. >> well, president trump welcomed the news, saying he was honoured by ron desantis endorsement and was later caught on camera . saying he would no on camera. saying he would no longer be mocking him with his nickname. >> he just said will i be using the desantis ? i said, the name ron desantis? i said, that officially retired . that name is officially retired. >> well, now we got ron desantis officially retired. our reporter , ray addison joins us now. ray always a pleasure. so it seems desantis realised that nobody certainly not him, can stop the trump train . and he threw in the trump train. and he threw in the towel. well yeah, he's had a really tough year in terms of campaigning for the presidency . campaigning for the presidency. >> he was just about ten points below trump in january of 2023. but this most recent poll for new hampshire had him at just 6. and that's a terrible figure, especially considering he's been spending so much money all

across the us to try to raise his profile. we know as well that although he came second in iowa, he spent £200 million in order to achieve that , and he order to achieve that, and he just still didn't get the kind of figures that he needed . trump of figures that he needed. trump well ahead of him in the polls. >> and do you think as usual, ray? um, i mean, he realises that he can't win , but would it that he can't win, but would it be fishing for a job in the trump camp? do you think he hopes to be a part of the fabnc? >> well, it's really interesting. i mean, you saw there with the tone of donald trump. retiring trump. he says he's retiring that desantis that nickname, ron desantis genius. i'm sure he'll be delighted by that. and he was at a campaign rally last night. donald trump was saying he's, you he's a very capable you know, he's a very capable man and he's run a really good campaign. tone has campaign. so the tone has completely changed. and of course, know, he was a real course, you know, he was a real supporter of ron desantis, particularly he to particularly when he wanted to become , um, governor florida . become, um, governor of florida. and so who knows? it's entirely possible now that with his support, you know , a year or 11 support, you know, a year or 11 months is a long time in

politics, and very, very politics, and it's very, very possible could get possible that he could get a role the trump administration role in the trump administration if behaves himself and, um, if he behaves himself and, um, ray, nikki haley, who's the last woman standing, the last candidate standing really ? candidate standing really? >> um, she said all the fellers have left . now, she will relish have left. now, she will relish going head to head with the don. but also let's talk the she be eyeing up a role potentially as vice seems . ray vice president. it seems. ray the is let's stay the narrative now is let's stay in for as long we in the race for as long as we can. really just can't can. but really we just can't beat trump . beat donald trump. >> well, she's knocked men >> well, she's knocked 14 men out race. she's the last out of this race. she's the last one standing apart from donald trump and i think she actually believes that she's got a real chance of winning . it really chance of winning. it really depends. now what happens tomorrow in new hampshire . of tomorrow in new hampshire. of course, we know that around 30% of ron desantis supporters say that if he's not running, that they will vote for nikki haley. so that's good for numbers. so that's good for her numbers. however, 62% said that they would back trump . so even better would back trump. so even better news for donald trump. so it

let's see what happens tomorrow. i mean it's possible that if she has a terrible day in new hampshire, we could have a resignation within a matter of days. if she does very strongly the next state is south carolina, which is her home state. and anything is possible. she's expected to win that if she gets some real momentum going, it's possible that we could see a good run and could see a very good run and ray, um, the liberal media will be clutching its pearls in horror . horror. >> they thought this guy was gone. like the terminator, but his glowing red and his eyes are glowing red and he's back. looking very he's back. it's looking very much like it's going to be trump versus biden again. the versus biden again. and the policies that trump's been coming out with very populist, proven very popular. proven to be very popular. >> i well, i mentioned, didn't l, >> i well, i mentioned, didn't i, that, uh, ron desantis was only ten points behind donald trump back january 2023. the trump back in january 2023. the reason why why trump suddenly took off is after those indictments, all of those criminal indictments came out and donald trump's polling numbers really took off. i think people feel that there. and this

is obviously the narrative that donald trump is pushing , that donald trump is pushing, that there is some kind of attempt by there is some kind of attempt by the so—called deep state, the department of justice, the democratic party, and other government institutions to try and have a coordinated attack on donald trump . and i think that donald trump. and i think that his supporters, this maga movement, america first, they've really embraced that. and it's motivated them not only to come out and vote for trump when necessary, but to support him and to, as he says, get all your friends, your family out to come and vote for me too. and so , you and vote for me too. and so, you know, he really does have know, he he really does have a lot of momentum moment. lot of momentum at the moment. >> okay. ray anderson, thank you for that update on the political situation in america. that's november the 5th. it's going to be hell of a fireworks show, be one hell of a fireworks show, isn't you've isn't it? now, lots of you've been in touch with your been getting in touch with your thoughts rwanda . richard says thoughts on rwanda. richard says this. god there's someone this. thank god there's someone who's to stand up who's got the guts to stand up and tell the truth . i 100% and tell the truth. i 100% agreed everything ang lee agreed with everything ang lee anderson says . we need more anderson says. we need more people like lee before the country goes to rack and ruin.

of course, lee was sat right here having a good old ding dong with immigration lawyer ivan samson talking common sense. adrian says this. lee anderson, who shouted on about, amended the rwanda bill and then abstained and needs to keep quiet . he abstained and needs to keep quiet. he should have abstained and needs to keep quiet . he should have backed the quiet. he should have backed the prime minister and on birmingham council very quickly , brian says council very quickly, brian says birmingham are not birmingham city council are not interested in motorists, taxpayers or common sense motorists are simply a cash cash cow for local and central government. failing alike . okay, government. failing alike. okay, now we've got loads more coming in the next hour, including that lords debate including starmer saying that we're all gone woke. we'll be arguing about all of that. i'm martin daubney on gb news. britain's news channel. don't go anywhere . don't go anywhere. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar , sponsors of weather on gb solar, sponsors of weather on gb news . news. >> afternoon i'm alex deakin. this is your latest weather

we've also learned that nearly 16,000 asylum seekers, including those who crossed the channel in small boats illegally , have been small boats illegally, have been allowed to work in a single yean allowed to work in a single year. last year, and they've been working in occupations in which there are recognised staff shortages and are paid 80% of the going rate, and even the guardian are angry about that, calling it slave labour. well, let's speak now to our political edhon let's speak now to our political editor, christopher hope. chris, let's start with the lords that debate length debate starting today in earnest. a lot of talk. and it's being led by lord goldsmith . yeah. um, labour. um, goldsmith. yeah. um, labour. um, blair, former attorney general teaming up with the lib dems in what some people are saying an unholy alliance to try and derail rwanda like they tried to derail rwanda like they tried to derail brexit. >> but this won't succeed, though i think this is looking at a report from the international agreements committee . they're looking it's committee. they're looking it's they're trying to say that the uk can't um, uh um, ensure this

treaty applies until it's safe in rwanda and that that will put a delay on any, any planes taking off. but number 10 has been pretty that that been pretty clear that if that happened, amendments happened, if the amendments passed this this motion is passed this this motion is passed today, they'll simply lay a written a written ministerial statement saying rwanda is safe and that's the end of that. this is before the is almost the order before the kind feast coming up in terms kind of feast coming up in terms of the plan, when it's of the rwanda plan, when it's relooked at hard peers relooked at hard by the peers and that starts early next month. and then you want to see amendments , and it might come amendments, and it might come back of its former self back a shadow of its former self from the document which left the house week house of commons last week and then and then it's people like ben and others reinstate it others will try and reinstate it and try and make this document as week. yeah. >> i'm also joined in the studio yeah. >> ben also joined in the studio yeah. >> ben bradley|ed in the studio yeah. >> ben bradley mp n the studio yeah. >> ben bradley mp , the studio yeah. >> ben bradley mp , conservative by ben bradley mp, conservative for mansfield, before i come to you, ben, a quick little nibble at this . 16,000 people allowed at this. 16,000 people allowed to work , some of whom came here to work, some of whom came here illegally over the channel's got a lot of people very , very hot a lot of people very, very hot under the collar over the weekend, conservative weekend, some conservative members saying they're going to rip their membership. is

rip up their membership. this is the they're the final insult. they're saying, particularly those saying, well, particularly those on because it's on the tory right, because it's almost all about pull almost it's all about pull factors , uh, migration policy. factors, uh, migration policy. >> if you reason to come >> if you have a reason to come to risk, your life , to risk your risk, your life, risk your let's say again risk your life, let's say again to come across across the engush to come across across the english channel, what are you going to. well, currently you're going to. well, currently you're going to. well, currently you're going to stay in a hotel and get a what you will a job paying 80% what you will be actual economy. so be in the actual economy. so it's reason to cross it's a further reason to cross the channel. and that's the problem. the government is trying to ways stop trying to find ways to stop to break model , trying to find ways to stop to break model, stop break the business model, stop people the channel people coming across the channel one idea is this rwanda plan to deport them to rwanda when they get here. but if you do that, alongside giving them work and put them up in hotels , it's very put them up in hotels, it's very hard to make them make any sense. >> ben bradlee like to pop to you now first, first brick in the blue wall. mansfield you were there and you campaigned on brexit and we all lived through those times where we saw the laws. do their damnest to try and derail it. are you getting echoes of history repeating itself rwanda bill? itself about the rwanda bill? >> , certainly think

>> well, i certainly think they'll give it a go. >> don't think it will work. >> i don't think it will work. and nature the lords is and the nature of the lords is that they can and and that they can try and delay and make mess it, but make a mess of it, but ultimately commons that ultimately it's the commons that decides . decides. >> doubt they will put >> i have no doubt they will put in amendments try and in lots of amendments to try and weaken bin it, in lots of amendments to try and weaultimately bin it, in lots of amendments to try and weaultimately it bin it, in lots of amendments to try and weaultimately it passed| it, in lots of amendments to try and weaultimately it passed quite but ultimately it passed quite strongly in the commons in the end. >> last question. when it comes back, asking what evidence there is will continue to effect. >> we'll be heckled >> yeah, we'll be in heckled by a live on air. it's almost a lord live on air. it's almost like they knew were here. like they knew you were here. ben these are live pictures from the lords, that's why. the house of lords, that's why. so can they're so as you can see, they're staying are staying awake. and they are debating we speak . debating this topic as we speak. um, chris, this expected to um, chris, this is expected to go on until, what, march or the next century? no, no, the lords and they're they're going to try to go for improved complaints processes , training for rwandan processes, training for rwandan officials. you asylum law officials. and you asylum law guaranteeing will not be guaranteeing people will not be returned to countries where they could be danger with could be in danger with conditions stop, flights off. >> that's what's happening here. yeah. um, this is the yeah. um, and this is the beginning of a lot of focus on the benches, not the green the red benches, not the green benches number benches, but number 10 was clear. the afternoon briefing i

was born. nottingham city council. and what's the polite way of putting they've gone. way of putting it. they've gone. what's financial valley. what's it's up financial valley. they bust and that was over they went bust and that was over the robin energy scheme. the robin hood energy scheme. today seeing birmingham today we're seeing birmingham council ripping out car parks to sell off land because they're also going bust. what is it about these councils that's failing? you run a council that's doing well. >> well, all councils are under pressure own is pressure including my own as is relatively in reasonable place. >> i would good leadership place. >> imanagement.od leadership place. >> imanagement. right.1ership place. >> imanagement. right. but1ip place. >> imanagement. right. but um, and management. right. but um, the ones have gone bust of the ones who have gone bust of cock something up somewhere in the ones who have gone bust of cocisystem hing up somewhere in the ones who have gone bust of cocisystem for; up somewhere in the ones who have gone bust of cocisystem for nottingham |ere in the ones who have gone bust of cocisystem for nottingham that n the system for nottingham that was robbing energy was robbing an energy and a range things. for range of other things. for birmingham big argument birmingham it was a big argument about equal and they about equal pay and what they failed their failed to do around their hr arrangements . they're making arrangements. they're making a mess get pulled mess and then they get pulled back only deliver back to you can only deliver statutory requirements, which means all the other stuff they're nice to have stuff is slashed and that's awful for residents. um, that's why i've written to government this week. not like not to protect councils like that, well that, but where good, well managed are are managed councils, um, are are coming under pressure now from rising to we a rising costs to say we need a bit help government bit help from government actually to make actually in the sector to make sure to deliver sure we can continue to deliver important okay. ben,

important services. okay. ben, can stick us? can you stick with us? >> to get your on >> i want to get your take on sir keir starmer. next sir keir starmer. that's my next story keir starmer is story here. sir keir starmer is accusing tory party of accusing the tory party of championing agendas to save championing woke agendas to save their own skin . championing woke agendas to save their own skin. in a championing woke agendas to save their own skin . in a speech, the their own skin. in a speech, the labour leader set out his hopes for a society of service, as he calls it , and for a society of service, as he calls it, and went on to accuse the conservative government of waging war against the country's greatest institutions and charities. well, i'm joined now by the political commentator matthew stadler. matthew, welcome to the show . always welcome to the show. always a pleasure . do you think, do you pleasure. do you think, do you think, do you think that, um, that starmer has the point? he's saying here ostensibly that the conservative party whips up this so—called culture war every time he thinks he thinks that they're losing to gain traction ? losing to gain traction? >> i've almost no doubt at all that his absolute spot on the conservatives have been waging these exhausts , culture wars these exhausts, culture wars that divide guide us as a society that turn us against each other. and to my mind, the obvious reason for them having

done that over the last few years is to distract from the cost of living crisis, which is still gripping so many of us. i mean , have you tried getting mean, have you tried getting your car insured recently ? it's your car insured recently? it's extraordinarily expensive in my experience. have you been down to the shops to get your groceries things are still really, really pricey . so that's really, really pricey. so that's going on. our nhs is crippled by massive , massive waiting lists . massive, massive waiting lists. there's concern about immigration, although you could argue that's part of the culture wars. what's starmer is saying is let's live in a civil society together . let's live in a together. let's live in a positive society , a society of positive society, a society of service. it almost harks back, actually to david cameron's idea of the big society. but the labour leader is saying the big society became the poor society under the under cameron's coalition government because of those years of austerity . what those years of austerity. what he wants is for us to come together, stop tearing ourselves together, stop tearing ourselves to pieces and for goodness sake, for government, for ministers,

for government, for ministers, for mps to stop kicking great british institutions like the national trust and through their rhetoric on the small boats , rhetoric on the small boats, having a go at the royal british lifeboat institution , which is lifeboat institution, which is a fantastic national institution , fantastic national institution, helps to save lives. let's come together instead of tearing ourselves apart. >> but matthew , it's a fair >> but matthew, it's a fair point to say that a lot of people, for example, when the when the national trust had a review of their links to slavery and the empire , they even called and the empire, they even called mahogany racist at that affected a lot of people . it annoyed a lot of people. it annoyed a lot of people and a lot of people i know when i've been to places like dover and met the electorate, believe electorate, they do believe because their because they see it with their own the rnli is being because they see it with their own to the rnli is being because they see it with their own to bringthe rnli is being because they see it with their own to bring migrantss being because they see it with their own to bring migrants ashore. used to bring migrants ashore. they have a valid concern about these things and isn't it unfair to just dismiss this as culture war, as if it's irrelevant ? war, as if it's irrelevant? >> no, i think the tories are doing exactly as i've just said. they are trying to distract from years of failure. if you ask any

of our viewers today whether they feel they are better off, better off in a small way or a significant way, since the tories first came to power after those new labour years in 2010, i think you'd really struggle to find many who say yes. i think you'd really struggle to find many who say yes . yes, find many who say yes. yes, we've had three conservative prime ministers since the last general election, since we last had an opportunity to vote, and instead we're having rows over these these culture wars. it's absolutely bonkers . as for the absolutely bonkers. as for the rnli, these people are incredibly brave , martin. i incredibly brave, martin. i mean, these people put their own lives on the line. day after day. i have nothing but respect for them. whether they're picking up desperate migrants or asylum seekers or they're picking up british citizens as they are saving lives , it's not they are saving lives, it's not their fault that people are trying to get to this country . trying to get to this country. >> matthew. um, the root of all of this is identity politics. um, by dividing us into groups and pitting us against each other. and that is ostensibly something you have to admit that the party has majored on

the labour party has majored on for and years now, for years. and years now, certainly since the miliband era. and so what i put it to you, is that going to get any better? will these issues, these so—called culture wars, go away if we have a labour prime minister or will they actually get worse ? get worse? >> well, would argue that the >> well, i would argue that the culture wars are of the conservatives making. let's examine this word woke as it keeps cropping up again and again. it seems to have replaced that old phrase political correct . what does it mean to be correct. what does it mean to be woke ? it just means that you woke? it just means that you have a concern for social injustice . tic. i'd like us to injustice. tic. i'd like us to live in a fairer society, wouldn't you, martin? and it also means you have a concern about discrimination. who wants to discriminate against people? if someone is stealing a rolex, it doesn't matter to me whether they're black, white, purple or blue. get them in prison . the blue. get them in prison. the met police very recently did some really valuable work there. again very, very brave people like those lifeboat operators. what are they doing? they're pretending that they're victims, and then they're nabbing these

nasty thugs. i'm not interested in the colour of someone's skin . in the colour of someone's skin. i think what labour are doing is saying, focus on helping saying, let's focus on helping each other out. being a decent society , being a properly civil society, being a properly civil society, being a properly civil society . and i think it's also society. and i think it's also a sense in this speech from, from starmer that there's a role for charity that, that might act as a bridge between the individual and the state. >> okay. matthew sadler , thank >> okay. matthew sadler, thank you for your input. and we'll come back to the studio now. ben bradley , been very patiently bradley, been very patiently sitting matthew there sitting through matthew there and you're a couple of sighs and and you're a couple of sighs and a bit of a struggle to sit through. >> i have to say, all of that, um, nonsense. um, what nonsense. >> of this fundamentally. >> all of this fundamentally. and identity and you mentioned the identity politics of it stems from politics of it all stems from labour's equality act in 2010, just before the general election. um, that embedded that, um, lumping people into boxes , into our legislation, boxes, into our legislation, never mind our national conversation and the idea that things like, um, racism , things like, um, racism, immigration, gender, all these things that are really difficult debates are just noise , um, is

debates are just noise, um, is ridiculous. they are fundamental to our country's culture and what people believe. >> and, ben, i know some of the work you've doing on work that you've been doing on white class lads being white working class lads being the of education and have the bottom of education and have been for over straight years been for over 20 straight years now. conversation now. this kind of conversation actually the way of actually gets in the way of helping . helping those people. >> you know where >> yeah. and you know where we've real issues, there are we've got real issues, there are inequalities like that. >> national >> a lot of our national conversation doesn't recognise that because they are white lads and are privileged. and white lads are privileged. >> um, and they are really difficult challenges. in difficult challenges. but in this actually the this case actually the conservatives this week are talking about economy, we're talking about the economy, we're talking about the economy, we're talking we're talking about finance, we're talking about tackling migration. it's tackling illegal migration. it's a starmer talking about a keir starmer talking about wokeness and all these issues wokeness and all of these issues in our institutions. we're not stoking anything . i think we're stoking anything. i think we're getting with job. getting on with the job. and he's got nothing say. what he's got nothing to say. what does a what was the phrase a society something society of something or other just nonsense, as if just meaningless nonsense, as if he , a society of service . he says, a society of service. >> he says, look it up, i forgot it. he says, we'll all be nice to each other and all these problems go away. to each other and all these problem sounds) away. to each other and all these problem sounds like ay. to each other and all these problem sounds like a. to each other and all these problem sounds like a good plan, to each other and all these prolthe| sounds like a good plan, to each other and all these prolthe big|nds like a good plan, to each other and all these prolthe big society; a good plan, to each other and all these prolthe big society was ood plan, to each other and all these prolthe big society was ocbitlan, but the big society was a bit like that.

scenario where a teacher to this day, in hiding day, years later, is in hiding and you allowed mobs to gather outside of a school, and everyone just stood there and turned blind eye when you turned a blind eye when you allow mom to be paraded in allow a mom to be paraded in front of some kind of weird kangaroo court, martin with a headscarf on because her son threw a book. i mean, when you allow things like that to happen, these mobs galvanised. they momentum, dirt, they . they get momentum, dirt, they. but i think this question about religion an religion in schools is quite an interesting one. and my panel certainly different certainly have different opinions on that is for sure. >> superb jobs and co 6 or 7 always got the guts to go where others try. that's others fear to try. that's michelle dewberry make you others fear to try. that's mitherz dewberry make you others fear to try. that's mither later berry make you others fear to try. that's mither later on. y make you others fear to try. that's mither later on. thanks,�* you join her later on. thanks, jeeves. always a pleasure . now jeeves. always a pleasure. now millions of parents in england are being contacted by the nhs and urged to make an appointment to children to have their children vaccinated measles . and vaccinated against measles. and this comes as nhs england says 3.4 million children under 16 are unprotected and at risk of becoming ill. but joining me now is ella whelan, the author and

journalist and of course, a mother . ella, welcome to the mother. ella, welcome to the show. always a pleasure. measles a disease we thought we'd stamped out. and yet now it's on the rise. why >> well, it's got a bit of a complicated history . >> well, it's got a bit of a complicated history. um, in that that a jab that was for a long time seen as sort of uncomplicated and uncontroversial . uncontroversial. >> in the early 2000, suddenly garnered a lot of attention , um, garnered a lot of attention, um, when the now discredited and disgraced um , man andrew disgraced um, man andrew wakefield , um, put forward the wakefield, um, put forward the claim that it had a link to autism. and in the early 2000, there was a quite a significant , there was a quite a significant, uh, scare around , um, the mmr uh, scare around, um, the mmr jab and lots of parents, you know , quite significant numbers know, quite significant numbers of parents deciding that they weren't going to get it because they were worried about this alleged link. um, that was pretty profoundly, um, discredited . he was struck off, discredited. he was struck off, um, a man who i admire very much

called doctor mike patrick, who is a gp, wrote a book called mmr and autism what parents should know . people should look it up know. people should look it up if they want to know more about that. and so that sort of that. um, and so that sort of that. um, and so that sort of that sort of happened . but there that sort of happened. but there has also been a sort of rise of, um , you know, anti—vaxxers um, you know, anti—vaxxers a terme that now is a little bit sullied, but genuine, sort of anti—vaccination sentiment. uh, mixed in with a sort of, you know, there's a there's a kind of a health food trend. there's a trend the nhs a sort of trend within the nhs itself, suggests you itself, which suggests that you should, fix your own should, you know, fix your own body turning to medicine. body before turning to medicine. and then, of course, we had the pandemic through which, um, a sort of what should have been a well handled and organised and, um, uncontroversial rollout of a, uh, medical procedure, a vaccination , we know turned into vaccination, we know turned into this huge political hot potato. and i think we are seeing some of the ramifications of that mishandling of the vaccination programme now, which is that a lot people sceptical . lot of people feel sceptical.

well, people feel well, a lot of people feel mistrustful . and that's very mistrustful. and that's a very damaging situation to be in. and the interesting thing about a sort of, uh, hesitant around vaccinations is that you get this sort of weird, unholy mix of the kind of middle class mums that i see at stadium place in hackney, who , you know, get hackney, who, you know, get their kids to wear , uh, beads their kids to wear, uh, beads for teething and, you know, think that rubbing onions on their foot are going to cure colds and that kind of thing, you know, of middle you know, sort of like middle class hippy ism. um, and then there's sort of the large sections population there's sort of the large sectiare population there's sort of the large sectiare not, population there's sort of the large sectiare not, you population there's sort of the large sectiare not, you know,opulation there's sort of the large sectiare not, you know, quite tion who are not, you know, quite mistrustful of doctors don't have a good relationship with the nhs and all the rest of it. and we do have a bit of a problem. i think i'd temper it by saying had dips, you by saying we've had dips, you know, peaks and dips relation know, peaks and dips in relation to take up for quite to vaccine. take up for quite some . and again, michael some time. and again, michael fitzpatrick is really good to look up. if you want to know about sort scare about the sort of scare mongering but it is mongering around this, but it is a problem that we need to encourage people to get their kids vaccinated because measles is a nasty, nasty disease and we

don't want it to be coming becoming the norm . becoming the norm. >> and i want to pick up on that cultural issue because again, dunng cultural issue because again, during the covid pandemic, we saw quite a large disparity between ethnic minorities not taking the vaccine. um, often that was looked historically. they had a bad , uh, bad history, they had a bad, uh, bad history, perhaps in, in their original country with the vaccines. and there's a report in the sunday times yesterday saying in birmingham , because where this birmingham, because where this outbreak is the somalian community and the bangladeshi community and the bangladeshi community are especially resistant to taking vaccines because they simply don't trust them . and that's a real problem. them. and that's a real problem. >> i mean, we need to ask ourselves the question, you know, why ? know, why? >> why is the nhs and local gps and health services unable to communicate with these communities properly? you know, why is it that , um, something why is it that, um, something thatis why is it that, um, something that is should be as run of the mill as childhood vaccination is, um, are in some, you know, parts of the, some parts of the

country once kids get to school, you know, vaccination rates are as low as 70, then causes as low as 70, which then causes us some really big problems for her immunity. and, you know, keeping kids safe because you always know that there are there's certain proportion of there's a certain proportion of people to people who aren't going to take them. short of them. and you know, short of sort coercive , um, sort of coercive, um, intervention, you can't fix that . no one, certainly no one . and no one, certainly no one wants that. that's a lesson we learnt pandemic. and learnt from the pandemic. and the is bad, there's the question is bad, but there's it's i think it's a means of sort of communicating action and just patronising people, not just not patronising people, not spending loads of money on ridiculous public health campaigns. but just the normal hard of work of local hard sort of work of local services getting in contact with families and making it happen. and ella, um, i was always against the idea of mandatory vaccinations because i think liberty comes first. >> but a lot of people are very quiet now about the fact that certain communities aren't taking a vaccine , which may taking a vaccine, which may endanger their children. do you think we have some double standards here? >> well, i think we've got to be careful about sort of turning

this into the idea that this is all i don't for a second think you're suggesting this, martin, but that it's just somali community's fault that this is. >> i'm not saying that that the these outbreaks are happening. i mean, you know, there has been there's been a kind of a lot of ugly discourse on social media recently about who who recently about who and who isn't taking up vaccine and whose taking up the vaccine and whose fault um, i said, fault this is. um, like i said, it's kind of a weird mix. and it's a kind of a weird mix. and i think the an interest, that's something that i'm interested in, uh, doing some work in relation to maternity care and other areas of the nhs is we've got this sort of growing trend in the nhs that, uh, the narrative is you shouldn't really need medicine. uh, you should be, whether it's sort of managing your weight, stopping smoking, blah, blah, blah , smoking, blah, blah, blah, eating your five fruit and veg a day . um, eating your five fruit and veg a day. um, really eating your five fruit and veg a day . um, really the day. um, that really the response ability for your health total is with you and i think part of that for oysters a sort of sense of a mistrust of medicine, a mistrust of medical

intervention, which then you can see how that leads to normal people who are educated and, you know, pay attention to experts thinking , know, pay attention to experts thinking, well, know, pay attention to experts thinking , well, actually, i'll thinking, well, actually, i'll pass on that . and you know that pass on that. and you know that i think that's that's something that we should that we should look into . look into. >> thank ella whelan. >> okay. thank you. ella whelan. we leave it there. thank we have to leave it there. thank you very much. ella on on you very much. ella whelan on on vaccine hesitancy the vaccine hesitancy and the measles to come , measles outbreak still to come, some leading supermarkets are targeting teenagers to take up their club card. is that good their club card. is that a good thing is it gross thing or is it gross manipulation of their data? i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel .

the people's channel, britain's news channel . welcome back. news channel. welcome back. >> it's 547. you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news now if you're a supermarket shopper and who isn't, chances are very high that you'll use some sort of club or loyalty card, which allows access to better and cheaper deals. or at least it's meant to. the tesco clubcard paved the way for other major supermarkets to follow , but you supermarkets to follow, but you have to be 18 or over to get one, meaning many kids and teenagers are left paying more for their food or drinks. so . so for their food or drinks. so. so do kids need club cards or is it just another ploy to give away their data from a young age? we're joined now to discuss. this is tash courtney smith, retail expert and executive producer of biz kids, a show for

young people covering business and finance. that sounds excellent . welcome to the show, excellent. welcome to the show, tash . tash, this got me going tash. tash, this got me going today because, um, a report was in the times saying that an increasing number of teenagers are badgering their parents for club cards because, of course, when they get their meal deals in the especially , they in the morning, especially, they have their own pocket money. the deals, the cheap deals are only available to club card holders . available to club card holders. so should kids be having them? is it a good thing or is it dangerous because the supermarkets just want to harvest your data and direct market? >> well, first of all, i think we should give a round of applause to all the young people who've realised that in to order be more financially efficient, they should club card. of they should have a club card. of course not that course, it's not ideal that tesco's rules prohibit club tesco's own rules prohibit club cards under 18, but cards for kids under 18, but i think all of us who shop can understand why a young person might want a club card . i think might want a club card. i think invariably there's large invariably when there's large companies supermarkets companies like supermarkets involved, can always seem involved, it can always seem sort of like cynical ploy, sort of like a cynical ploy, a marketing thing. is this data

harvesting of children from a young age? certainly, certainly , young age? certainly, certainly, as you've described it, however , as you've described it, however, i think there's another factor at play here, which is to think about the world that kids live in and how digitally savvy they are how much they understand are and how much they understand and they're not being and what they're not being taughtin and what they're not being taught in schools . taught in schools. >> in biz kids, our whole mission is teaching entrepreneurs financial literacy and personal development to children . children. >> really, from the ages of eight. >> and kids today are incredibly enterprising . enterprising. >> one thing i'm not sure that people are aware of is this generation , the so—called generation, the so—called generation alpha , are more generation alpha, are more enterprising and financially astute and entrepreneurial than any generation before. >> and that's because of the access they have with phones and the internet, which means it's not surprising that the kids have the card. have got wind of the club card. >> the advantage is that >> and the advantage is that you might have one. >> and, tash, one thing that really leapt out at me here is that z that's that amongst generation z that's younger shoppers, 43% of them have a loyalty card, as opposed

to only 17% of baby boomers older people. so they are getting very popular with younger people. but i put this to you, tash. so many of the deals now i see in supermarkets, you have to have a club card or you have to have a club card or you get ripped off. they put it in prices in 141 products. i in the prices in 141 products. i saw in a which report for six months above the actual retail price. so you're getting stung without a card , which kind of without a card, which kind of tramples us all into getting these blooming cards. even if you don't want one. >> well, i mean, that's just thatis >> well, i mean, that's just that is what we'd call great marketing, i suppose. >> isn't it? >> isn't it? >> and the rise of the club card and how popular it's become amongst consumers is, you know, an a massive fact. >> and it's not surprising . >> and it's not surprising. >> and it's not surprising. >> this is to some extent, we are all tramroad, as you put it, into loyalty programs like this, like club cards for our own financial advantage. >> i think what's interesting is the debate around when you should and could have a club card, and it's quite confusing to tesco, tesco

to see how tesco, tesco themselves can not allow club cards under 18 and then have cards to under 18 and then have a rise in under eighteens who want that's something want one. that's something they're need to iron they're going to need to iron out and take out internally and take a position out internally and take a posokay, tash courtney smith, >> okay, tash courtney smith, retail expert and executive producer of biscuits. thank you very for joining producer of biscuits. thank you very forjoining us on the very much for joining us on the show. now, the bbc is to get tougher scrutiny on their online content over concerns about bias within the organisation . and within the organisation. and that's according to lucy fraser , that's according to lucy fraser, who has said audiences think the corporation is not, quote, sufficiently impartial. you don't say , well, the culture don't say, well, the culture secretary was also asked about gb news during her appearance on radio four this morning. >> let's turn to another part of the broadcast and landscape, which is gb news. while loss making gb news has built a significant following both on linear tv and online, would you agree with the assertion that it has transformed our broadcasting landscape? >> i'm in favour of media plurality , and what that means plurality, and what that means is that there's a wide variety of across , um, out there of views across, um, out there for people to watch and listen

to so that audiences can find the views that they want to hean the views that they want to hear. and gb news is an important part of that landscape . it's decided to be regulated by ofcom, as indeed many other broadcast owners have. but i think it's really important that we have that variety of views . we have that variety of views. >> well, joining us to discuss this is columnist david osland. david, welcome to the show. the bbc once again under fire. let's cut to the chase . do you think cut to the chase. do you think the bbc licence fee should be scrapped? david i don't know. >> i think the bbc is the best broadcaster in the world and on the whole does a very good job on balanced political coverage . on balanced political coverage. but if lucy frazer wants to talk about perceived bias , i mean, we about perceived bias, i mean, we can look at some of the track record of some of its senior figures. we have a director general who , uh, was former general who, uh, was former chair of hammersmith and fulham conservative association and the tory council candidate . um, tory council candidate. um, that's tim davie, of course, who
