i >> president biden is a massive problem for britain. the next time the woke brigade bang on about hashtag be kind. just remember that they are willing to cruelly wheel out a man in severe cognitive decline. just so they can keep pushing their hyper progressive woke agenda. and they don't care if this leads to world war iii on this show. over the course of the week, we have shown you several clips of joe biden being visibly and audibly unfit for office, some movement . some movement. >> and i don't want to. i don't want to. maybe choose my words . want to. maybe choose my words. >> yesterday it emerged that he would not face a jury trial over alleged mishandling of classified documents because he is, quote, an elderly man with a poor memory . is, quote, an elderly man with a poor memory. this led president biden to hit back, saying he's perfectly fit for office before mistaking the president of mexico for the president of eqypt mexico for the president of egypt. >> you know , initially the
3:06 am
>> you know, initially the president of mexico, sisi . did president of mexico, sisi. did not want to open up the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in. i talked to him. i convinced him, open the gate. my memory is not my memory is fine . memory is not my memory is fine. my memory is not my memory is fine. my memory. take a look at what i've done since i've become president. none of you thought i could pass any of the things i got did that happen ? got passed. how did that happen? you know, guess i just forgot you know, i guess i just forgot what going on earlier. what was going on earlier. >> i spoke to a doctor and psychiatrist, carole lieberman , psychiatrist, carole lieberman, and i asked her in her professional opinion, what her advice would be if she was deaung advice would be if she was dealing with an ordinary member of the public, exhibiting president biden's behaviour , president biden's behaviour, actually written an open letter to biden asking him to take a mental competency test. >> because i do this as an expert witness, i do cases as, um, included in the cases that i do or cases regarding competency , and he certainly would fail. there is no there is no way that he would pass, um, even the
3:07 am
baseline, the preliminary mental competency test. and i would and then sent him to a neurologist and have him, uh, be given all kinds of neurological tests, pet scans , cat scans, um , lots of, scans, cat scans, um, lots of, um, uh , cardiovascular tests um, uh, cardiovascular tests because, you know, he had a brain bleed years ago. uh, he had an aneurysm , um, and a brain had an aneurysm, um, and a brain bleed. and he's on medication now for a cardiac arrhythmia that can cause transient ischaemic attacks. so i think alzheimer's is the most common, um, dementia. and then comes vascular, but i think because of his vascular history , it's his vascular history, it's important to look into that first. >> last night, an interview was published on ecs between russian president vladimir putin and journalist tucker carlson. he was asked if he was actually spoken to the us president since the start of the ukraine war. >> and was the last time you spoke to joe biden?
3:08 am
>> i cannot remember when i talked to him . i do not talked to him. i do not remember. we can look it up. >> you don't remember ? >> you don't remember? >> you don't remember? >> no. why why do i have to remember everything that i said to him? then i believe that you are making a huge mistake of historic proportions by supporting everything that is happening there in ukraine, by pushing russia away. but. >> but you haven't spoken to him since before february of 2022. >> and . president biden clearly >> and. president biden clearly cannot communicate directly anymore with other world leaders. >> he is simply not capable of deaung >> he is simply not capable of dealing with a crisis and the world is facing a crisis. this is why it matters to us. america leads the west and the west deserves not to be led by somebody who many people believe has senile dementia. he also clearly despises britain . clearly despises britain. >> the biden a quick word for the bbc, the bbc i'm.
3:09 am
>> the biden a quick word for the bbc, the bbc i'm . irish the bbc, the bbc i'm. irish ultra woke progressives are happy to bring the world to the bnnk happy to bring the world to the brink of oblivion, destroy our special relationship and use a husk of a vulnerable elderly man in order to push their ideology onto people. >> they have no shame. and president joe has to go, let's get the thoughts now of my panel tonight very gratefully. so i am, of course, joined by the wonderful former bbc chief political correspondent, john sergeant . we have political sergeant. we have political correspondent at the spectator, james hill, and entrepreneur and social commentator, apprentice finalist , joanna jarjue. thank finalist, joanna jarjue. thank you very, very much, james joe biden is bad for britain. he's got to go. surely >> well, the problem is who replaces him . replaces him. >> know, talking to a >> and, you know, talking to a few government, >> and, you know, talking to a few say, government, >> and, you know, talking to a few say, look, government, >> and, you know, talking to a few say, look, you1ernment, >> and, you know, talking to a few say, look, you getment, >> and, you know, talking to a few say, look, you get rid1t, they say, look, if you get rid of joe biden, you've got vice president kamala harris. of joe biden, you've got vice pre and|t kamala harris. of joe biden, you've got vice pre and|t kamalsayarris. you >> and i'll just say that, you know may a lot know, although she may be a lot youngen know, although she may be a lot younger, think she's younger, i don't think she's a lot better. >> no, john, i'll drag you into this we are being this because we are being led by the things by the nose. who? many things by america. america is america. okay. and if america is being led by a bloke senile being led by a bloke with senile dementia, and we are pumping billions and billions and billions and billions and
3:10 am
billions and billions and billions and also billions of pounds and also their things like a their dollars into things like a war in ukraine, which may well end sparking world war iii, end up sparking world war iii, that's problem , i agree. that's a problem, i agree. >> i mean, i think that , you >> no, i mean, i think that, you know, it's a crisis. it's a really serious crisis. and if only biden could see that this was not doing any good for america. and it's not really doing very much for the democratic party , and that the democratic party, and that the idea that he can't step down or it's kamala harris now, it's not as simple as that. there's no reason he shouldn't reason why he could he shouldn't announce running announce that he's not running again . he would still be again. he would still be president at least until you know, he was someone else was nominated, but he would be president right up until next january. anyway so he could at least stagger on. it's happened before with people in office. woodrow wilson, the american president , was extremely ill and president, was extremely ill and his secretary virtually took over the presidency . but in over the presidency. but in those there wasn't all those days, there wasn't all these exposure. this was during these exposure. this was during the war. people the first world war. so people sort of thought they hadn't seen him much. fdr was in was in him very much. fdr was in was in a wheelchair all the time he was
3:11 am
president. they were always president. but they were always photograph just of photograph him just the top of him. very used the him. so they're very used to the idea have idea that you can have a president in some difficulty, physically or mentally , but not physically or mentally, but not like this. this is just no, it's embarrassing and it should stop. and there should be some mechanism . by way, a senior mechanism. by way, a senior american democrats should go to him and say, i'm sorry, time is up. >> this is the thing though. you know, you've got a load of people here. china with this kind ideology, hyper kind of woke ideology, hyper progressive america, progressive people in america, all this be kind brigade who were wheeling out an were just wheeling out an old man some kind of man with some kind of degenerative mental condition to use husk of a man, as a use as a husk of a man, as a prop. and they don't care about anyone they don't care anyone else. they don't care about to west, about the threat to the west, don't care about special don't care about the special relationship. they don't care about abuse about any of that. it's abuse and complicit in it how. >> now. >> well, i mm- mam-- >> well, i think there is also something to about something to be said about experience know, a lot experience and, you know, a lot of know, do tend to of people, you know, do tend to say, well, he's too old or should age limit? >> for example, the >> for example, for the president states? president of the united states? there's for both there's an argument for both sides, i do think that it sides, but i do think that it has a point. and i used has got to a point. and i used to defend joe biden a lot when people were jokes about
3:12 am
people were making jokes about him slipping up the him kind of slipping up the stairs was going up. air stairs when he was going up. air force one, that was a joke. but now got to a point where if force one, that was a joke. but now don't ot to a point where if force one, that was a joke. but nowdon't remembernt where if force one, that was a joke. but nowdon't remember the 'here if force one, that was a joke. but nowdon't remember the namef you don't remember the name of hamas things that, and hamas and things like that, and we've this global situation we've got this global situation in middle east and obviously in the middle east and obviously the with putin in the situation with putin in ukraine, then that becomes a problem. and as you said, it overspills onto us. >> yeah, trump has sought this out away, wouldn't he? out straight away, wouldn't he? >> i'm not so sure about >> well, i'm not so sure about that. of that. patrick in the space of an hour the biden gaffe hour of the whole biden gaffe there, um, donald trump had mixed the president of um, of mixed up the president of um, of hungary with turkey, got the two nafions hungary with turkey, got the two nations up. so i'm not nations mixed up. so i'm not necessarily sure that you replace one man tends to replace one old man who tends to say wrong thing with say the wrong thing with another, perhaps. >> terms of the special >> look, in terms of the special relationship i relationship with britain, i mean, completely dead in mean, it's completely dead in the joe biden. isn't the water with joe biden. isn't it? that it's probably >> i think that it's probably fair that under fair to say that under joe biden, a lot less biden, it matters a lot less than presidents. and than most presidents. and obviously, donald trump, uh, did did place a huge emphasis on the kind of personal connections, obviously etc. obviously scottish family, etc. what i would though, is what i would say, though, is that so many strategic that we have so many strategic relations in tying together, you know, nato
3:13 am
know, with the two biggest nato defence spenders that will always endure. so it doesn't really matter, even if you have people who don't get on particularly heath particularly like nixon. heath didn't the early 70s didn't get on in the early 70s so endure. so much that will endure. but that's joe that's more in spite of joe biden because of him. biden than because of him. >> not a certain irony >> is there not a certain irony here? you know, america gone here? you know, america has gone to east to to war in the middle east to try and countries like iraq to war in the middle east to try and afghanistanies like iraq to war in the middle east to try and afghanistan andike iraq to war in the middle east to try and afghanistan and democracy and afghanistan and democracy and democratic values and at the moment, millions people have moment, millions of people have voted for a doddery old codger in america who not running in america who is not running the country . there's no the country. there's no democracy in america. >> but if you think of the alternative to where the guy that the presidential that then loses the presidential election insists that he's election then insists that he's won, and what a message that sends to people in pakistan or elsewhere who are voting. so there you are . you have there you are. you have a system, and you then say, oh, i don't believe in the system. i think i won. what an extraordinary thing for an american president, leader of the free world and all this stuff. but to be able to do that and then for millions of americans to then agree with him instead of saying, look, can we just start over now? can we just go back to a different system ?
3:14 am
go back to a different system? make sure you have a new report on nominee who could then fight a new democrat nominee, i mean, and you'd have a normal election. it's very important. and they've still got time. i mean, i still bits of me think , mean, i still bits of me think, look, there's some months to go. it's the november election. you know, every week goes by somebody may really fall over, but it might have a heart attack. you know, things can happen. and if that happens, then the sort of importance of then the sort of importance of the nomination is not the trump nomination is not so important . and they may just get important. and they may just get back to normal . but it's johnny back to normal. but it's johnny time's interview last with time's interview last night with tucker carlson and putin. >> take out of it >> and look, take out of it whether believe whether or not you believe a single that putin's saying single word that putin's saying or, rambling or, you know, he's rambling about all of about the history and all of that stuff, right? the guy is lucid, guy lucid, okay? the guy is competent . it was a huge lucid, okay? the guy is competent. it was a huge amount of talk, wasn't it, about whether or not he was dying of cancer ukraine? cancer when he invaded ukraine? look with it. okay. look it. putin is with it. okay. again you don't have to agree with anything he's with anything he says, but he's obviously still sharp. and with anything he says, but he's obviicuty still sharp. and with anything he says, but he's obviicut across sharp. and with anything he says, but he's obviicut across to sharp. and with anything he says, but he's obviicut across to siyou and with anything he says, but he's obviicut across to siyou look that cut across to me. you look at his best ally at the moment, xi jinping china. you're
3:15 am
xi jinping in china. you're absolutely everything absolutely on top of everything over these are over there. these guys are posing massive threat. we've posing a massive threat. we've got what's going on in the middle the is led middle east and the west is led at moment by joe biden, at the moment by joe biden, a bloke who clearly, clearly has to be tucked into bed at night. >> well , to be tucked into bed at night. >> well, yeah. and also it's bad, i think, for the democratic party moment because, you party at the moment because, you know, this all came light know, this all came to light because of documents that joe biden possession . but biden had in his possession. but it gets to a point where close to election time, is he then to the election time, is he then going bring be to going to bring up, be able to bnng and going to bring up, be able to bring and the bring up about trump and all the documents had in mar documents that he had in mar a lago? think it creates a lot lago? i think it creates a lot of friction and closer to them, to the election in the us and i think that when it gets to the debates as well, trump won't be able to kind of get i just wonder with that though, jo—anne nadler have a proper debate. >> can they they will not. neither of them are capable of a proper well. proper debate. well well. so when election when the when the election starts to roll, it's going to look well, that's more look well, that's even more obvious neither are obvious that neither of them are suitable particular job. >> and also forget nancy pelosi's name the other day. so it's like basically
3:16 am
it's not like it's basically competition between who's the sharpest name anyway. >> it doesn't really matter >> so it doesn't really matter that but look, i've still that much. but look, i've still got to come here. got loads more to come here. all right? authorities got loads more to come here. all rigiputting authorities got loads more to come here. all rigiputting counciluthorities got loads more to come here. all rigiputting counciltax)rities are putting up council tax whilst forking diversity whilst forking out for diversity and inclusion officers . we found and inclusion officers. we found out exactly what the government is going to be doing about it. in an exclusive with esther mcvey, this minister common mcvey, this minister for common sense last night. sense on our show last night. so the could be up for them. the game could be up for them. and the former butler of king charles to come charles is still to come as well. to reacting well. he's going to be reacting to harry with to prince harry settlement with the but up next in the mirror group, but up next in the mirror group, but up next in the mackenzie is the clash, calvin mackenzie is going head to head with former labour adviser mike labour party adviser mike buckley. as i ask, should keir starmer sack ed miliband over his failed green pledge ? ed his failed green pledge? ed miliband surely has to join joe biden on the scrapheap . patrick biden on the scrapheap. patrick christys tonight we're only on gb news .
3:17 am
3:18 am
3:19 am
3:20 am
sunday mornings from 930 on gb news . news. >> welcome back. it's time now for our head to head . well, it's for our head to head. well, it's all going off in the labour party because sir keir starmer's green u—turn has dominated the front pages over the last few days after he slashed his party's £28 billion pledge towards environmental investment. now, the telegraph reported this afternoon that there's been another row back with labour now dropping plans to backdate its £11 billion windfall tax attack on oil and gas companies. this latest flip
3:21 am
flopping over environmental proposals firmly puts the spotlight on one ed miliband. obviously not even the most talented miliband brother, but there we go. the tories are running with this continual flip flopping. now they've gone in with a where's ed website. all right. where is ed? it's got a timer . after they say he's gone timer. after they say he's gone into hiding following his £28 billion spending plan going down the pan . it's not the only the pan. it's not the only thing, by the way, that ed miliband has got wrong, as we no doubt will discuss it. of course, not the first time course, it's not the first time he's mixed either, he's got mixed up either, because miliband's previous promise for no oil and gas promise for no new oil and gas licences, massive damaged labour's relationship with the union. he is also responsible, by way, of most by the way, for one of the most expensive green policies that the world has ever seen. did it work? no. so is it time for starmer to sack miliband in an attempt to rescue the labour party's reputation? joining me now for this head to head is former editor of the sun, kelvin mackenzie and we've got the wonderful journalist as well, mike buckley, a usual regular.
3:22 am
now monday nights. but now on my monday nights. but there we go. kelvin, look, i'll start with you. is it time for ed miliband to go? has he to go? >> think there's two >> well, i think there's two aspects to him. >> he is, if you know the expression, give me lucky generals. >> there had can't have been a unlucky a man to ever get to anywhere near the top of the labour party. so he's the leader for about half an hour he eats a sandwich wrongly . he turns out sandwich wrongly. he turns out to have two kitchens but hates capitalism . capitalism. >> um, and so he he gets a terrible thumping in the polls, but instead of just calling it a day , he decides i haven't got day, he decides i haven't got anything else in my life. even although i'm a defeated leader, i've hang on to power. so i've got to hang on to power. so for couple of years , for the last couple of years, he's been kind of energy he's been the kind of energy secretary for starmer, and that's disaster for that's been a disaster for everybody. if you if you talk to any of his allies, he is so into green taxes and green spending, it's devour his life. and what's happened, they've been thrown out with the bathwater. so i'm astonished. and about sacking him, why is he still there ? he's
3:23 am
him, why is he still there? he's unlucky and he can't deliver. it's surely time for him to go. >> well, this is. this is the thing. i mean, he's obviously not going to resign, which is why i'm not the question. why i'm not posing the question. should resign? really but, should he resign? really but, sam. got sam. mike, look, i've got some some here, so he some bits and bobs here, so he was cabinet under was in the cabinet under gordon brown. he put forward legislation britain legislation committing britain to an 80% cut in co2 emissions. apparently that cost us £1 trillion, which would make him the policy maker the most expensive policy maker in british history. this guy. and he brought dale vince into the labour party in a way, for a bit that ended pretty the bit that ended pretty badly. the just guy . he bit that ended pretty badly. the just guy. he wanted just stop oil guy. he wanted energy nationalise , energy companies nationalise, seized. he's responsible for this. no new oil and gas thing. it's the unions. i it's alienated the unions. i mean, it's a disaster, isn't he? it's alienated the unions. i me no, t's a disaster, isn't he? it's alienated the unions. i me no, t' mean,aster, isn't he? it's alienated the unions. i me no, t' mean, i;ter, isn't he? it's alienated the unions. i me no, t' mean, i justisn't he? it's alienated the unions. i me no, t' mean, i just want1e? it's alienated the unions. i me no, t' mean, i just want to’ >> no, i mean, ijust want to correct what kelvin said, which was that he wasn't leader for five he leader five minutes. he was leader for five years. >> labour led the >> and labour led the conservatives in the poll for polls for most of those five years. >> admittedly, we then went on to lose the election, so it's not a spotless record. not it's not a spotless record. i with but think i agree with you, but i think what politics and what we need is politics and what we need is politics and what in lots sectors
3:24 am
what we need in lots of sectors of is people who are of society is people who are willing try and fail and then willing to try and fail and then carry on because he will have learned a huge amount leading the labour party for those five years got on him. he resigned straight that election straight after that election and decided he was better in a different actually, different role. and actually, i think this is the role that he's much suited in. much more suited in. but honestly, the other thing i don't the don't get is why the conservatives website conservatives have got a website saying not been for saying it's not been seen for 141 on 141 days. i think he was on channel this afternoon channel 4 news this afternoon talking party's talking about the labour party's policy on this. so i really don't the don't know where the conservatives from to conservatives are coming from to be but no, i don't be quite frank. but no, i don't think should reside. i think think he should reside. i think he's a man. think he's he's a good man. i think he's doing job. we to doing a good job. we have to address climate crisis. address the climate crisis. >> but how how can we say, look, address the climate crisis. >> blhown how can we say, look, address the climate crisis. >> blhown how csayve say, look, address the climate crisis. >> blhown how csayve sadoing(, matt, how can we say he's doing a every he a good job? and every time he puts policy it either puts a policy forward, it either costs £1 trillion or doesn't happen, point this happen, but the point of this policy changed is the fact policy being changed is the fact that it isn't the labour party's choice. >> that is simply because the conservatives have made such a mess economy. so the mess of the economy. so the money was there to spent money that was there to be spent two now . two years ago is not there now. that the labour party's that is not the labour party's fault. aims, the fault. it has the same aims, the same just going same ambition. it's just going to be more slowly, to have to be a bit more slowly, simply takes the
3:25 am
simply because it takes the pubuc simply because it takes the public seriously . public finances seriously. >> do you buy >> calvin, do you, do you buy this labour excuse? that's what's keeping a miliband on the job at the moment. >> funnily >> actually, funnily enough, i am favour of them am wholly in favour of them dumping have probably dumping what would have probably been disaster for us. been a complete disaster for us. i in some ways i can't wait for labour to get in to watch this whole catastrophe explode. but the truth about the matter is that actually what starmer has doneisin that actually what starmer has done is in line with how people think. generally, do not think. generally, they do not want money spent in this way, and actually all that's happened is that he's hiding behind some bump in the economy in to order dump something that the voters don't want. they don't believe in the green policy in this massive way . they want, slowly massive way. they want, slowly but , rather than the but surely, rather than the madness which ed miliband and his people like . but the other his people like. but the other one that's got a hand in the blood on all this is rachel reeves. after all, for the last two years, she's been as big a proselytiser of this particular policy . as miliband. the only
3:26 am
policy. as miliband. the only cautious one in this has been starmer. i am astonished that she hasn't thrown her toys out of the pram and she's gone as well. well this is thing, mike. >> you know, he's i was that >> you know, he's i was at that labour party conference in 2021 in liverpool, where through the vehicle that is rachel reeves, she proudly said i'm going to be the greenest chancellor ever. and it was because of miliband's £28 billion pledge. he's done other things as well. you know, he said he wanted labour to commit the grid commit to the national grid being free by which being carbon free by 2030, which is impressive . double okay. he is impressive. double okay. he refused to buy an electric car for vast majority of the for the vast majority of the time. this stuff time. he was pushing this stuff as . um, know, this as well. um, you know, it's this this guy has mugged off the chancellor. he's mugged off the leader. after u—turn leader. it's u—turn after u—turn . seriously, why earth is . and seriously, why on earth is he near shadow he anywhere near a shadow cabinet? why is he? why cabinet? i mean, why is he? why is he potentially going to wander downing wander into downing street and presumably wander into downing street and preslights.y wander into downing street and preslights out ? the lights out? >> have to say, i'm >> you know, i have to say, i'm genuinely to ed genuinely mystified as to why ed miliband has become miliband has suddenly become pubuc miliband has suddenly become public number one. public hate. figure number one. i show from i mean, on this show from the conservative well, conservative party as well, he's been in favour been consistently in favour of serious on climate change serious action on climate change since, say, he served in

3:40 am
because if he was really just doing this out of principle, you'd way you'd see it all the way through. it the through. you'd drag it all the way through you'd get way through to court. you'd get that verdict the you'd that verdict at the end, you'd get you'd stand on get vindication. you'd stand on the of the court outside, the steps of the court outside, you'd give whatever damages you've , and you'd you've got to charity, and you'd move on, wouldn't you? but that's i agree . >> grant, i agree. >> grant, i agree. >> i mean, this is the thing. >> i mean, this is the thing. >> if you if you feel that strongly about stick to the end. >> e. fl- end. >> it's quite rightly, as >> and it's quite rightly, as you i'm sure he you said, which i'm sure he would money would do, donate the money to charity doesn't need it. >> and at least then you've had your in where having your day in court where having this kind of ongoing fighting and out—of—court and then out—of—court settlements and all this, it's just i just don't understand it personally. i don't get it. so either you're all in or you're all out and he's not really making sense with it. can i just, um, ask you a little bit about king charles well ? about king charles as well? >> of course, because harry was seen at this nfl awards thing, i know he got a lot of stick for that. it's rare for me to go that. and it's rare for me to go out my way to stick up for out of my way to stick up for prince harry. however, you know, william gala william was seen at a gala dinner and, you know, when william does something like that, he's very much working.
3:41 am
all right. harry does all right. when harry does something like the nfl awards, it's seen as always there. gallivant be fair, gallivant so, look, to be fair, give his credit where it's give him his credit where it's due. was similar to due. it was largely similar to william wearing tux. stood william wearing a tux. stood next to tom cruise at gala dinner right. but his supposed 12 minute or half an hour trip to see the king. will that have helped the king? do you think the king will be happy about that? what are you hearing? >> i don't know, i am kind of concerned about whole concerned about the whole situation obviously it's situation because obviously it's interesting over. it's interesting he came over. it's really weird, it? i, as really weird, isn't it? i, as a former butler and as you know, i've very lucky to in a i've been very lucky to be in a privileged position. i'm confused at what went on in those because those 12 minutes, because it just make sense. and the just doesn't make sense. and the other thing concerns me, patrick, might have noticed patrick, you might have noticed prince doing prince william also was doing some investors yesterday as well, notably he it was well, and notably he it was commented, i noticed that he seemed a bit, um , out of sorts, seemed a bit, um, out of sorts, and i think he even dropped one of the orders that he was presenting, which is so unlike him. i mean, really unlike him. and to my mind, it's got me kind of thinking that is the is there
3:42 am
something else kind of going on? because, you know, it does. even i'm slightly worried about i'm a slightly worried about it. and he's about and whether he's worried about obviously father. is he obviously his father. is he worrying about the princess of wales because obviously she's not recently . um, but not been well recently. um, but there to so many there just seems to so many questions with so many unanswered and even unanswered things. and even though king has amazingly though the king has amazingly spoken very spoken up, which is very unusual, there's there unusual, there's just there seems to be something else going on and even friends been on and even friends have been contacting over last 24 contacting me over the last 24 hours asking and i don't hours asking me, and i don't know, agree, there is know, but i agree, there is something there's something not adding whole adding up about the whole thing. >> yeah. so know them >> yeah. so you, you know them incredibly know, you incredibly well. you know, you saw the boys growing up. you know, king charles, in know, king charles, you're in a perfect position to be able to say someone is say when someone definitely is feeling of so so you feeling out of sorts. so so you you think that something is really rocking. william. maybe more so than the, you know , more so than than the, you know, the fact that dad's got the fact that his dad's got cancen the fact that his dad's got cancer, in a way. cancer, i suppose in a way. >> i mean, it could >> absolutely. i mean, it could just be as simple as is what his father, his his wife has also obviously gone through some sort of, uh, serious procedure . i of, uh, serious procedure. i mean, there's no question about
3:43 am
it. as i said, it's just it. and as i said, it's just i've noticed a lot of comments, uh, and there's been obviously some footage yesterday some video footage of yesterday when he was these, um, the when he was doing these, um, the investiture and he just didn't seem quite right . investiture and he just didn't seem quite right. i can't put my finger on it. something just didn't seem right. and then with harry suddenly coming in for the 12 minute audience with the king and going back , and then suddenly going back, there's just something odd. and maybe why it could also be maybe he's just upset about something, but i just get the feeling that there's something else going on. but we might know. that's but we might never know. that's the know , we, even the reality. you know, we, even though the king has, as said, though the king has, as i said, has amazing voicing has been amazing about voicing and which has and talking about, which has been also, patrick, been interesting. also, patrick, because also been a because there's also been a huge surge actually surge in people actually researching about prostate cancer different types of cancer and different types of cancers, which is a positive. of course it's positive, but , um, i course it's positive, but, um, i just get the feeling. >> do you think grant, do you look do that there is look do you think that there is a chance that actually things are serious with the are a lot more serious with the king maybe first thought? king than maybe first thought? yeah possibly. >> um , i'm not going to lie, i,
3:44 am
>> um, i'm not going to lie, i, i'm beginning to wonder that myself. uh, i am kind of wondering if he. because the king the thing about the king is, i've said in recent, over the couple of even to the last couple of days, even to gb news, is he is somebody gb news, is that he is somebody that gets on with business. that just gets on with business. he puts his head he very much gets puts his head down. he's a real worker, down. he's a he's a real worker, he's grafter. he he's a real grafter. and he just gets but i'm i don't gets on with it. but i'm i don't know, i've just got a feeling that not quite that something's not quite right. time will tell. and right. and time will tell. and i hope i'm wrong . right. and time will tell. and i hope i'm wrong. i'd like to think i'm wrong. but just something, doesn't seem something, just doesn't seem quite right. >> okay. all right. grant. well thank very much for your thank you very much for your time and, uh, doubt we'll time and, uh, no doubt we'll talk very soon. as talk again very, very soon. as much as i love you and our viewers and listeners love you, we hope wrong. as we all hope you're wrong. as well, grant. but look, take care and soon, all and i'll chat to you soon, all right? and i'll chat to you soon, all rigiabsolutely. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> royal to king >> former royal butler to king charles, william and charles, prince william and harry stuff that isn't harry concerns stuff that isn't it ? if there's something not it? if there's something not quite right and all of those issues there, i wonder what that could be. well look, coming up at ten after anglican vicar at ten after an anglican vicar gives an explosive interview slamming his church's approach

4:10 am
shocked in the church of england now, they should just think, gosh, so we are in fact being used by people, just used by them sometimes for money in order to make it easier for not for them to enter paradise or anything to do with religion, but simply in order for them to be able to do better in their asylum claim. the other thing that's always is worrying. still, you've got to keep on mentioning it. there are 20,000 people are asylum seekers people who are asylum seekers who've not had their they've not had their case processed. and that's what's causing all the thing about, oh, quick, quick, let's hurry. well, all they get rejected . rejected. >> all the fact is as well, john, they get rejected. and we don't deport them, so we don't deport. they go , oh, deport. so then they go, oh, i'll what, might i'll tell you what, i might have it round or third it second time round or third time the case of clear time round. in the case of clear off our old friend abdul ezedi, who may not be in who may or may not be in the thames, know, it's thames, says, you know, it's time to christianity. time to convert to christianity. doesn't see, joanna, you know, just all it now, just all it takes now, apparently, a selfie . a apparently, is just a selfie. a selfie , you know, and selfie in in gay, you know, and then all of a sudden you can't
4:11 am
be sent home for persecution. i mean, we come on, they're taking the yeah a bit. the mickey. yeah they are a bit. >> should take more a >> it should take more than a selfie. and don't think that selfie. and i don't think that just being baptised is enough. i think that should of think that you should kind of actually show service. and obviously actually show service. and obv asking for proof of that. are asking for proof of that. but think there is slight but i do think there is a slight exaggeration this . i think exaggeration with this. i think it's um, we heard actually it's quite um, we heard actually that this is just kind of come out of nowhere. it seems as if, you know, after we were told about ezedi case the about abdul ezedi case and the fact was given asylum fact that he was given asylum because his christianity , he because of his christianity, he now apparently all these whistleblower offers are coming out. so i'm not saying that it doesn't but it just doesn't happen, but it just seems doesn't happen, but it just seenthis the narrative and now this is the narrative and it's just become a thing. now where apparently we just blaming the of the church of the whole of the church of england have said england who have never said anything , england who have never said anything, and england who have never said anything , and actually the home anything, and actually the home office, you have thought, office, you would have thought, would sort of would have noticed some sort of trend this trend and actually flagged this with england, and with the church of england, and they now there's they haven't. so now there's another a scapegoating i >> l: k- k it often happens >> well, it often happens with stories. it isn't it when something up , stories. it isn't it when something up, it's something is picked up, it's then and it's picked then picked up and it's picked up happens up more. and that often happens isn't it? and the pressure grows
4:12 am
. yeah. >> i mean, for what it's worth. and i'm kind of a bit sick of saying now, but am saying this now, but i am going to it church of england. to say it the church of england. ihave to say it the church of england. i have approached them again today. i think i've approached them. i've spoken to them all time. my time. i've spoken to my own fiancee desperately fiancee this week, desperately trying from trying to get some comments from them just them on this. they have just shut ironically shut up shop. ironically given the seem let the fact that they seem to let anyone through. james, anyone else through. but james, when it comes to the home office behind the scenes there right, let's send a load of emails around . did you know it's world around. did you know it's world huab around. did you know it's world hijab day ? oh gosh. and this, hijab day? oh gosh. and this, this is we to we need to this is we need to we need to really attention all of really pay attention to all of this. no internal this. meanwhile, no internal communication. to communication. according to this whistleblower in the telegraph about the asylum seeker who may or may not have just tried to burn a woman and children's face off with acid. exactly. >> mean, home is >> i mean, the home office is well known in westminster and whitehall as being the problem department for 3040 years, and clearly it's now facing massive challenges it seems challenges for which it seems utterly unable to deal with. and, you know, talking to the civil servants and spans across westminster, most of tend westminster, most of them tend to notion that to disagree with the notion that there's of blob working there's a kind of blob working to frustrate of to frustrate the will of the government. exception
4:13 am
government. the one exception that does come up, which does, i have to say, is anecdotally talking people, is that there talking to people, is that there is home is concerns about the home office's get office's ability to kind of get on board with government messaging. i do think messaging. and so i do think that in terms of the priorities, etc, seem to a sort etc, it does seem to be a sort of towards to help of bias towards trying to help those trying exploit those trying to exploit the home office, those office, rather than those trying to office priorities. >> think it's just >> i don't think that it's just that because think a lot of that because i think a lot of the we hear a lot about the time we hear a lot about civil apparently civil servants. apparently they're left, they're too woke and too left, but might be the but also and that might be the case tiny pocket. but case in a tiny pocket. but i think also the government have done benefit themselves. done this to benefit themselves. really, i feel like the more the home falls apart, home office falls apart, the more don't people more they don't process people quickly they've quickly enough, the more they've got case. and the only case got this case. and the only case that they've got really in the next to say, next general election to say, stick we'll get stick with us, we'll get the boat . so it's almost as boat sorted. so it's almost as if it's self—fulfilling. >> get what you mean. >> yeah, i get what you mean. i just it's now gone so far just think it's now gone so far that can't really use that they can't even really use that they can't even really use that anymore. because this is this is problem , isn't it? this is the problem, isn't it? really. to really. and i'm just going to read a statement that we did read out a statement that we did manage the diocese manage to get from the diocese of durham. so they put up a spokesperson who said, we robustly the robustly reject all the allegations by allegations being made by matthew now he was the
4:14 am
matthew firth. now he was the vicar was quoted in vicar who was quoted in the telegraph at no time telegraph they say at no time did raise any concerns did he raise any concerns locally clergy locally or with senior clergy about asylum about the number of asylum seekers being at the seekers being baptised at the church claims the church church, his claims of the church being conveyor belt of asylum being a conveyor belt of asylum seeker, baptisms are nonsense. we're proud to have we're extremely proud to have saint cuthbert's and proud of we're extremely proud to have saithe uthbert's and proud of we're extremely proud to have sai the valuable and proud of we're extremely proud to have sai the valuable work)roud of we're extremely proud to have sai the valuable work all d of we're extremely proud to have sai the valuable work all our all the valuable work all our churches in darlington do to ensure and ensure asylum seekers and refugees so that's refugees are welcomed so that's what had to say about what they had to say about it. they did then also send to us some appeared to show some data which appeared to show that of the baptisms the that 20% of the baptisms in the last have been asylum last ten years have been asylum seekers. of that what seekers. so make of that what you john, thing you will. but john, the thing that there was that stood out for me there was the lawyers who the ready army of lawyers who are literally so this for me is the next story, right? so you clearly you've got a load of asylum seekers who are being legally advised that if you go to a church and you get baptised , stick a photo on facebook . so , stick a photo on facebook. so i actually think at the root cause of this, quite possibly, is the legal profession. >> well, they certainly do. and the way they in of the way they behave in lots of ways do with, know, let's ways to do with, you know, let's take case up. there used to take this case up. there used to be a sort of it used to be an

argument about non—advertising. and, you know, used to be and, you know, you used to be able to a solicitor and able to go to a solicitor and then ask them, would you accept this but no, they do chase this case? but no, they do chase after work. now in a way they didn't . and i think the didn't before. and i think the other thing it's interesting in that it doesn't that statement, it doesn't say, look, check every asylum look, we check every asylum seeker see if they're real seeker to see if they're real believers. there's no there's nothing about we carry out a very careful procedure . do you very careful procedure. do you remember when we were kids? if you were being confirmed or something ? there were whole something? there were a whole sort elaborate . you had sort of quite elaborate. you had to and meet the vicar. then to go and meet the vicar. then you come back you do this and you come back the next week and the week after . but, the whole thing . but, i mean, the whole thing was pretty serious in terms of are you really do you really want to be confirmed? do you know what confirmation means? it's very different. >> speaking as a catholic , >> i'm speaking as a catholic, but different for but it's very different for baptism, obviously. i mean, you're baptised babies, right? and just basically your and that's just basically your introduction to church . but introduction to the church. but i think that maybe the test should have done your should be. have you done your first communion? have you done confirmation ? and have you, you confirmation? and have you, you know, the for
4:16 am
know, been with the church for a while because baptism is basically just an introduction, an point about basically just an introduction, an lawyers point about basically just an introduction, an lawyers and point about basically just an introduction, an lawyers and ourpoint about basically just an introduction, an lawyers and our kind about basically just an introduction, an lawyers and our kind of out the lawyers and our kind of legal framework is to be legal framework is going to be the big thing on right the big, big thing on the right for you remember, of course, in >> you remember, of course, in the early 70s, there's an attempt trade attempt to try trade union reform failed because the law wasn't taking account of political time. political pressures at the time. ten years later, margaret thatcher did what thatcher did a lot what ted heath wants i think the heath wants to do. i think the same true right now. at same thing is true right now. at the immigration, same thing is true right now. at the discussingmmigration, same thing is true right now. at the discussing itnigration, same thing is true right now. at the discussing it injration, same thing is true right now. at the discussing it in 2024., we're discussing it in 2024. the real might in 2034, real answers might come in 2034, where this where we try and deal with this because, the because, as you say, like the lawyers, pressures are on lawyers, the pressures are on the clearly insurmountable. >> we are due >> i think we are we are due a massive expose on the old asylum seeker and seeker lawyer situation. and i think was one of those think i if i was one of those lawyers and i knew i was up to no good, i would watch out because i think you're going to end getting reporters walking end up getting reporters walking into your office pretending to be asylum seekers or people working hidden working with the old hidden cameras. hope cameras. and frankly, i do hope they that. anyway, coming they do that. so anyway, coming up at 10:30 pm, tomorrow's front page is hot off the press. plus we'll have a couple of really good videos you really good viral videos for you as which might expose if as well, which might expose if you're watching this, the you're watching this, by the way, and you've got kids or grandkids university . yeah, i grandkids at university. yeah, i think probably cheating
4:17 am
think they're probably cheating in i'll show you in their exams. i'll show you why a second. next why in a second. but next though, over migration though, tension over migration reach boiling in reach a boiling point in ireland. why are our ireland. so why are our neighbours reacting so differently to us here? and why doesit differently to us here? and why does it matter for you ? i will does it matter for you? i will tell you very
4:18 am
4:19 am
4:20 am
sunday mornings from 930 on gb news is . news is. >> a massive story now and it will have huge consequences for us here in britain. we are all eye wateringly familiar with the
4:21 am
seemingly never ending migrant crisis here in the uk. of course we are. we were just talking about it, but we're not the only ones. closest neighbours, ones. our closest neighbours, the , are the republic of ireland, are facing their own crisis with net migration. believe it or not, being even higher per capita than here in the uk. so around two per 1000 people you have to factor in there though, don't you? the population of ireland is around 5 million. there's a heck of a lot of people. ireland is no stranger to political division and sometimes a little bit of civil unrest, to say the least. but division over migration seem to have now hit a boiling point with anti and pro migrant demonstrations going head to head in dublin city centre earlier this week . should centre earlier this week. should we take a look? i think, at the leader freedom leader of the irish freedom party, herman kelly, speaking at one of these demos on monday. >> consider now what is going on in this country is very , very in this country is very, very serious. we are facing becoming a minority in our own country.
4:22 am
what we are talking about is about the future that our the irish nation and people have a future as a nation that isn't just happening in dublin. >> by the way, you're getting similar scenes popping up across ireland, and it isn't all because ireland's was because ireland's capital was literally ablaze . days after literally set ablaze. days after an algerian migrant allegedly stabbed three including stabbed three people, including two children, outside a school in the city in december. i'm sure we all remember that. we covered it a lot on this show. it triggered riots right across dubun it triggered riots right across dublin and just about the question, though, doesn't it? why are the irish, whom we why are the irish, with whom we share a strong bond and share such a strong bond and common interests? re acting so dramatically and so differently to migration woes than us here in britain? well i'm telling you now about why it really matters to us here in britain, because if ireland is accepting in a huge number of not just legal migrants , but asylum seekers as migrants, but asylum seekers as well , and they're migrants, but asylum seekers as well, and they're putting them in a variety of different hotels and the irish sometimes have
4:23 am
started setting fire to some of these hotels. they started blockading them with much more regularity than we have over here. well what could a lot of these asylum seekers do? they can cross the border, can't they , into northern ireland and get into our own territory . and into our own territory. and indeed, that is a massive concern and an off the record chat earlier today with a member of the house of lords who said just that . look to discuss this just that. look to discuss this story. i am joined by the man himself. he's the leader of the irish freedom party. it's herman kelly. very kelly. herman, thank you very much. great have you on the much. great to have you on the show. on in show. right what's going on in ireland ? ireland? >> uh , as i said at the rally on >> uh, as i said at the rally on monday, which was very well attended, it's a second colonised nation of ireland and it's all approved and funded by the irish government. uh ireland currently has officially, officially figures. it's a 20% officially figures. it's a 20% of our population are non irish.
4:24 am
now we do know that people who come here illegally generally do not fill in the census forms. so while the british figures roughly 14% of your population are non national and ireland without any discussion and very little debate , over1 in 5 of little debate, over1 in 5 of the people currently living in ireland are now non—national . ireland are now non—national. and that means that our population since 1995 has gone up population since 1995 has gone ”p by population since 1995 has gone up by a whopping 42. and that's without hardly any talk . without hardly any talk. actually, what has happened is that the uni party, as i call it, the political class , the it, the political class, the media class and the ngo class have basically shouted down and abused anybody who had even dared to question the wisdom of allowing so many large number of unbuned allowing so many large number of unburied people into the country. >> okay . so there seems to be >> okay. so there seems to be two different things happening here, doesn't there? you've got high levels of legal immigration, which people are saying , but you saying is a problem, but you also an issue when it comes also have an issue when it comes to set and the
4:25 am
to the asylum set up and the migrant hotels well , to the asylum set up and the migrant hotels well, and to the asylum set up and the migrant hotels well , and the migrant hotels as well, and the people of ireland, as far as i can tell, a lot of them anyway, seem seem to seem to have had, you know, more than enough of this right now. and you guys have been taking to the streets a lot, you? yeah a lot, haven't you? yeah >> like there was a very large rally in dublin on monday, which ispoke rally in dublin on monday, which i spoke at, but all over the last year . and a half roughly, last year. and a half roughly, there's been a very large number of rallies throughout the country. uh, because local communities cheesed off communities are very cheesed off and have had enough of the large scale . it's not only the . where scale. it's not only the. where a year and a half ago, it was to do, people were talking about, uh, the under mining, the, the lack of services . is like lack of services. is like a number of doctors, uh, the, the loss of school places, how it was affecting people's quality of life . and then they were of life. and then they were talking about the increase in crime and the cost to the taxpayer. but it is actually
4:26 am
moved on in a very short period of time to because the large . of time to because the large. the such the huge numbers of people coming here, it's now an existential crisis for the continuation of ireland as a nafion continuation of ireland as a nation and as a nation state. it's gone well beyond just um. oh yeah, we don't have enough doctors for the people coming here. and we don't like the increase in crime . now it's increase in crime. now it's become much more serious now because ireland like compared to the uk and america, etc. we have a small population on a small island and it's our only homeland. once we lose ireland, there's home, there's there's no going home, there's no irish people no going home for irish people to australia or to america . this to australia or to america. this is our only homeland and when well over 1 is our only homeland and when well over1 in 5 people are now non—national in ireland, well, for the continuation of ireland as our homeland, well, we've we're yeah. >> as en- e"— e as well you see yeah. >> as well you see clearly >> and as well you see clearly obviously in ireland huge elements of rural community, you know pocketed quite small
4:27 am
communities and you plonk an asylum seeker hotel in the middle of that no middle of that with no definitive end it definitive end time. it fundamentally changes that entire community and quite possibly forever, doesn't it ? possibly forever, doesn't it? >> the surprising part, yeah. as you point out, it's not just in dublin, in the big cities . it's dublin, in the big cities. it's in small villages in rural ireland and the west of ireland. so in many villages, for example in west clare, which you would think would be a rural ideal, and many of these small villages now irish people are well outnumbered by people from and asylum seekers from safe countries such as georgia . uh, countries such as georgia. uh, like other countries , like other countries, afghanistan , nigeria, all the afghanistan, nigeria, all the like and some of these countries afghanistan, algeria have very are known to have very high crime rates and for example, in 2022, there were 12 women were murdered in ireland. five of those women were murdered by non—nationals . and i'm sure non—nationals. and i'm sure you've heard of the case in
4:28 am
dubun you've heard of the case in dublin recently. uh two, two months ago, where an algerian national stabbed three children and a woman teacher in in the. he stabbed children in the neck in the middle of the day in a main street in dublin. of course , there was outrage about that. and there's been a number of murders over the last number of years. and as you pointed out, the start. yes, the government and the media want to talk about immigration, and it's all about asylum seekers and, uh, refugees . but our main problem isn't that it's actually complete legal migration through the eu open borders and free movement that the media want to talk all the time about, about asylum seekers. but our main problem is actually eu open borders . actually eu open borders. >> you know, what is backfiring . >> you know, what is backfiring. now on the kind of ruling elites in ireland? i mean , obviously in ireland? i mean, obviously you do. you're literally at the coalface of this, but it is. i
4:29 am
think they underestimate the actual of irish actual strength of irish national identity and pride. and, you know, we here in england, lose that england, we didn't lose that long ago, but it was a lot long time ago, but it was a lot more diluted, think in britain more diluted, i think in britain a longer time ago. and so a much longer time ago. and so when you see a higher influx of people, kind of absorb it a people, you kind of absorb it a bit better of a sudden bit better and all of a sudden the die is cast before, you know, whereas know, it's happened. whereas in ireland, know, it's happened. whereas in irelan rural communities. those rural communities. can i just you quickly, please? so just ask you quickly, please? so my understanding is that there are people now in northern ireland are very, very ireland who are very, very worried actually about what this means them because they're means for them because they're worried that this could become the new gateway for illegal immigration into the united kingdom, as well . go on. kingdom, as well. go on. >> exactly . on that point, no. >> exactly. on that point, no. 60% of people who have applied for asylum in ireland apply at the office in dublin. they don't apply the office in dublin. they don't apply at the port of entry at dubun apply at the port of entry at dublin airport as etc. right or the port and rosslare . so the port and rosslare. so they've come into the country in a way unknown to the state and, and all of the people who arrive
4:30 am
in dublin airport claiming asylum, 70% of those claim that from getting on a plane for which they had a passport, and disembarking in dublin and arriving at the customs that they've lost their passport now, so we can see that we're being lied to. we're being made fools of and that brings up the whole thing of the common travel area. how get dublin? as how did they get into dublin? as if didn't come through if they didn't come through dubun if they didn't come through dublin uh they may very dublin airport? uh they may very well have come in through the common travel area through the north of ireland. yeah and on the point that you that you raised about this , uh, ireland raised about this, uh, ireland border . raised about this, uh, ireland border. yeah. we were never a colonise it. we were colonised so we don't have any guilt complex about raising the issue about what is happening in ireland now is, is colonised without consent. it's a new plantation and we didn't we were never asked . we never gave never asked. we never gave approval . approval. >> herman, look. thank you. we're going to stick with this
4:31 am
story for the coming weeks, the coming months. so please keep us in the loop here as well. at gb news. because again, people think, is ireland, it's think, oh, this is ireland, it's not britain, it's the not great britain, it's not the united it has got united kingdom. it has got massive consequences for us over united kingdom. it has got massall consequences for us over united kingdom. it has got massall consechrope. for us over united kingdom. it has got massall consechrope. allus over here all across europe. all right herman, thank you mate. take right. herman take care. all right. so herman kelly who leader of kelly there who was leader of the irish freedom party now coming up, uh, farmers are protesting in dover this evening as this off shortly before as this kicks off shortly before i air, actually. i came on air, actually. so farmers started farmers have just started protesting evening protesting in dover this evening over issues food imports. over issues with food imports. again, we've it on the again, we've seen it on the continent . now it's again, we've seen it on the continent. now it's happening here. give us their here. my panel give us their greatest union greatest britain and union jackass as plus jackass nomination as well. plus tomorrow's newspaper headlines are just moments away. stay tuned for the front pages

4:37 am
thatis three people on a knife rampage. that is valdo calocane, who is now getting many now essentially getting many people would argue, soft touch justice in a mental institute as opposed to serving time for murder. but am joined now by murder. but i am joined now by my wonderful panel and here to take a look at these front pages and more. is bbc chief political correspondent, former john sergeant, political correspondent, current at the spectator james hill, an entrepreneur, spectatorjames hill, an entrepreneur, social commentator , apprentice finalist, is joanna jaflue. , apprentice finalist, is joanna jarjue . i have got to bring you jarjue. i have got to bring you some news that is literally just happening. as we came on happening. i think as we came on air, started happening. air, this started happening. it's videos it's some incredible videos that are out of dover are coming out of dover this evening. take a look at evening. let's take a look at this one. so our very own nigel farage posted it on x at farmers are a slow track to are now staging a slow track to demonstration on roads leading to the port in dover in protest against foreign imports of food. i think this comes as new checks on imports into the country are being out following being rolled out following brexit but brexit legislation. but the scenes similar to those scenes are similar to those we've seen across europe, although , john, the although i believe, john, the motive is a bit different. what's what? what are we looking at there with it is because
4:38 am
obviously, i mean, most farmers surprisingly for brexit. >> they're not covered by the same rules of the common agricultural . in fact, agricultural policy. in fact, the tradition in france particularly is very different. theidea particularly is very different. the idea that you're a farmer in france and you're fed up with anything you immediately off to the into the streets to demonstrate. and i've been, you know, covered these demonstrations and they're often turned to violence . and it's turned to violence. and it's a real kind of. yeah. and what gives them a sort of the let out card , i suppose, is that most card, i suppose, is that most people in france support their farmers instinctively. they support them. so they like in the last set of protests, they were getting 90% approval. now i don't think our farmers were in the same position, but no doubt they're also very worried about how they're not getting the returns they feel they ought to get the supermarket chains. returns they feel they ought to get i've the supermarket chains. returns they feel they ought to get i've gote supermarket chains. returns they feel they ought to get i've got asupermarket chains. returns they feel they ought to get i've got a quote1arket chains. returns they feel they ought to get i've got a quote1arke'from ns. >> i've got a quote here from a guy called jeffrey gibson. so he's farm he's from utrecht farm in wingham he says wingham in kent, and he says that selling that supermarkets are selling british produce cheaper than the cost production . right. he
4:39 am
cost of production. right. he says we produce crops to the highest standard in the world, but have to compete with imported foods containing illegal chemicals, etc. so i think this is going to grow and grow . grow. >> yeah, it certainly is. and what protests , what what unites these protests, what we've italy we've seen in france and italy as , is basically farmers as well, is basically farmers across the continent getting squeezed. across the continent getting squeezed . and obviously squeezed. and we've obviously seen britain we've seen previously in britain we've had farmers complaining, for instance, of instance, about the price of milk. much they instance, about the price of mil able much they instance, about the price of mil able to much they instance, about the price of mil able to sell much they instance, about the price of milable to sell milk much they instance, about the price of mil able to sell milk for|ch they instance, about the price of mil able to sell milk for in they are able to sell milk for in the uk in terms of the costs and how much they get from much little profit they get from that? because that? and really that's because it's a of cost, living it's a sign of cost, living pressures. about pressures. but also it's about foreign competition. and although we're outside the eu and france is inside and obviously france is inside the eu, both are getting protesting about trade. and so one of the big reasons behind the french protests is about this ongoing negotiations with south american bloc to south american trade bloc to sign trade deal. and in sign a free trade deal. and in the uk, it's these the uk, it's about these new foreign deals. some foreign free trade deals. some in the green a former prime in the green by a former prime minister, truss , under which minister, liz truss, under which they terms access to the they get terms of access to the uk the question is uk market. so the question is really do you side with? really is who do you side with? is it the farmers who have a sort of, you know, distinct voice or it voice and constituency, or is it with you
4:40 am
with the cheaper foods you get from free trade? well, from having free trade? well, this it's to be the this is it. it's going to be the one and runs on. one that guns and runs on. >> what it was. >> what it was. >> in m >> the point in brexit, if you've got british farmers protesting french protesting and you've got french farmers protesting, whole farmers protesting, the whole point was that we were point of it was that we were supposed freedom and supposed to have the freedom and sovereignty to make better deals , and they're not getting a better deal. obviously, i'm not saying about saying that everything about this brexit. this protest is about brexit. some of about the some of it is about the supermarkets you supermarkets as well. but you would that , you know, would think that, you know, they're a position now where they're in a position now where they're in a position now where they're with rival they're competing with rival farmers in australia and in new zealand, yet you've still got some people in the conservative party ex—brexit peers who party and ex—brexit peers who are that you know, and are claiming that you know, and still kind of championing maybe having face up. having things like your face up. >> no, mean, i'd say >> well, no, i mean, all i'd say is that, i mean, you know, i can have very sympathy with the farmers. >> what also point out >> but what i'd also point out is that surely if it's free trade, have reduced prices as trade, we have reduced prices as a everyone can a result of that, everyone can benefit meat that benefit from cheaper meat that you get the supermarkets. and you get in the supermarkets. and i'm not trying i'm not saying i'm not trying to make wrong. just make a right or wrong. i'm just saying this the trade off you saying this is the trade off you have this the trade have to make. this is the trade off is to have off we chose to do is to have free deals was free trade deals and that was
4:41 am
something that. something that they know that. >> also there are >> but also about also there are new deals. >> i mean, there's to >> i mean, there's a deal to allow produce to allow more ukrainian produce to come obvious come through for, for obvious political reasons. there are obvious reasons to try and establish more free trade deals abroad , because we're not any abroad, because we're not any longer in the european union based on. so there are all sorts of pressures in terms of come on, let's have some trade deals, then next moment, what about the farmers ? farmers? >> look, could we potentially just back up this video of just bring back up this video of these farmers. so again if you are just joining us it's a slow tractor demonstration is taking place over foreign imports. farmers now saying that they are feeling completely undercut out. and apparently these protests are going to stay out on friday night for as long as possible to raise awareness of their cause. and they're going to keep doing this they get what this stuff until they get what they fact they want. but i think the fact is, public, mean, is, the british public, i mean, if we do end up with massive support, they are going. >> i mean, i look >> j.g. yeah, no, i mean, i look at footage, i think at that footage, i think instinctively ago, the instinctively 20 years ago, the fuel protest, you remember instinctively 20 years ago, the fuel inotest, you remember instinctively 20 years ago, the fuel inotest, and du remember instinctively 20 years ago, the fuel inotest, and du all|ember instinctively 20 years ago, the fuel in otest, and du all the )er that in 2000 and of all the there farmers had the there farmers similar had the cars protesting. and
4:42 am
