fun and let's get cracking. it's time my big opinion . well, time for my big opinion. well, this story will have you huffing and puffing the popular community jogging group parkrun sees large groups of people gather in parks and open spaces across the country every weekend, hoping to improve on their times on a weekly basis and eventually get past that retired accountant in lycra that always seems to finish ahead of them. it's not exactly the olympics and i doubt there's much doping going on, but you are competing against yourself to get better every time , and to get better every time, and the more ambitious participants are mindful about their placing and who they beat when they cross the finish line. however parkrun appears to be on shaky ground with a bizarre decision to scrap all records of people's timings after a row over transgender athletes taking female records . parkrun has female records. parkrun has removed all gender course and age records from its websites after a backlash when it was reported that at least three parkrun female records were held

by transgender women. and let me tell you, it's not a bunch of illiberal transphobic cranks who are concerned about this move. tennis legend martina navratilova , swimming champion navratilova, swimming champion sharron davies and olympian daley thompson have all said that parkrun should continue to collect data based on biological sex. so if it says that a certain woman is fastest in her category , then she is the category, then she is the fastest woman rather than an intact biological male rocking the full meat and two veg. but identify as female being above her in the leaderboard. how can that be fair ? this is an ideal that be fair? this is an ideal war on gender, with a strange movement which has come out of nowhere, that likes to tell people they were born in the wrong body or that their biological sex is somehow fluid, subjective and a matter of personal opinion. and it's women who come off worse . we've seen who come off worse. we've seen a double rapist accommodated in a

scottish women's prison. biological males winning beauty contests , smashing women in contests, smashing women in female sport and scooping prized woman of the year awards. women have lost their own lavatories, their own changing rooms and decades of hard won sex based rights have been sacrificed at the altar of political correctness and a medical fiction. now i'm passionate that you should be able to identify by however you like and be loved and respected. for that, i've got trans friends who have been on that important and joyous journey . good luck to them. but journey. good luck to them. but with men seeking equal social and legal status as women , this and legal status as women, this whole movement is shaping up like a men's rights campaign. if you think about it, it's history repeating itself. it's men pushing women around all over again. it's misogyny with lipstick. it's sexist ism in a dress. it's patriarchy in heels. this is after the gay dating website grindr told one user

this week that they could not filter potential partners based upon their actual biological sex. so what does that mean? well, it means that lesbians are going on. that website cannot select other lesbians with the mantra that trans women are women. lesbians could now very easily go on a date with someone that's got a male member, that's calling themselves a lesbian . we calling themselves a lesbian. we all enjoy a bit of a surprise on all enjoy a bit of a surprise on a date, but i think on that one you're getting more than you bargained trans ideology is bargained for. trans ideology is so mad. it actually says to lesbians that if don't lesbians that if they don't sexually biological sexually accept a biological male that identifies as female , male that identifies as female, they are a bigot. this is unfair. it's mad. and of course it's homophobic. and i'm no expert on the lesbians. but from my observations, they are not in the penis business. meanwhile, the penis business. meanwhile, the conversion therapy bill passing through the house of lords could potentially criminalise. lords could potentially criminalise . parents teachers or criminalise. parents teachers or organisations who discourage children from having puberty blockers or irreversi surgery on

their reproductive organs . the their reproductive organs. the world has truly gone mad , and world has truly gone mad, and now women can't even have a run around their local park and take pride in their progress. men and women and women are men, are they? well all this has echoes of the writer george orwell and that famous line from his dystopian novel 1984. in it, he wrote, the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears , as it was their final, and ears, as it was their final, most essential command . our most essential command. our beloved nhs have stopped calling women mothers. there's jargon like chest feeding rather than breastfeed ing, or people with a cervix and cis women give me strength. we have to call out this madness and push back. otherwise women will be cancelled altogether. the organisers of parkrun are on a slippery slope. they can jog .

slippery slope. they can jog. on. your reaction mark at gb news.com or get to your email shortly. but tonight's top punst shortly. but tonight's top pundits are broadcasting legend david hamilton , former david hamilton, former government adviser claire pearsall and tv personality precious muir. claire, let me start with you . your reaction to start with you. your reaction to the news that women that do the park run won't have their listings on the website because we have to accommodate people who identify with another gender? >> well, it's absolutely ridiculous . >> well, it's absolutely ridiculous. i mean, this isn't the olympics and people are competing against themselves and they want to know how they're doing. have they increased their times? are they getting a better placing ? and it's sport placing? and it's about sport and fairness. and i think it's predominantly unfair if you put into a category somebody who is a biological male who will have an advantage , let's all be an advantage, let's all be honest men and women are very, very different when it comes to muscle and bone structure. so i think it's largely now only caught the attention of parkrun and all of the furore concerning this is because men's results

have also been wiped from the website . i think that because website. i think that because men are now affected, this issue is coming up and is coming to the fore. so parkrun should put it back as it was . if trans it back as it was. if trans people want to run, that's absolutely fine. nobody has a problem that . why not have problem with that. why not have a separate category and then you can however can please everyone. however i guess what parkrun are trying to do , precious muir, adapt to do, precious muir, is adapt to an ever changing world to and make sure that if someone identifies by a different gender that's respected and they can participate, all they're trying to is be inclusive , right? to do is be inclusive, right? >> i believe i agree that they should be inclusive, but they shouldn't also kind of it's a dangerous situation to actually remove that because the rights for women are being taken away. >> being acknowledged as a woman seems to be like the thing seems to be like the worst thing ever at this point in time, because it's like you should be ashamed to say that you're actually born a woman. it's like, never say that like, you should never say that you vagina. like it's you have a vagina. like it's like big to say in this like big things to say in this kind of world that we're living

in right now. for me, having in right now. and for me, having transgender women in certain categories doesn't make sense. like you know, there is no way that a woman should be actually competing against a transgender woman because obviously they have advantages and it's not fair. so why are you removing the fact that you can specify a woman actually racing and saying what her results are saying, that she's actually a woman? i mean, i don't see the reason for removing that information at all. i think it's absolutely ridiculous . ridiculous. >> david hamilton ijust ridiculous. >> david hamilton i just wonder >> david hamilton ijust wonder whether history is repeating itself. and this is men do dominating women all over again. but in a different way. >> yeah, it sounds a bit like it, doesn't it, mark? i think i agree with both the ladies actually . i think that what you actually. i think that what you should have is a men's section , should have is a men's section, a women's section, and a transgender section. you certainly shouldn't have people who were born male competing

against females. that's definitely not right. but it's interesting. the ceo of this particular company has said that parkrun is not a race. he says , parkrun is not a race. he says, uh, many people are scared of finishing last. that's his reason for, you know, getting rid of all the stats from the past. i mean, i think it's. rid of all the stats from the past. i mean, i think it's . just past. i mean, i think it's. just bollocks, isn't it? really? oh not pulling his punches. >> uh, claire, listen briefly if you can. do you accept that argument it's not a race? argument that it's not a race? >> well, it might not be a race in that respect, but everybody's results are there. and it shouldn't be about who's coming last, who's coming first. it should making your should be about making your times better and competing against yourself and becoming fit. that was the whole point of parkrun when it was set up, was to encourage people sport. to encourage people into sport. and now put and if you're going to now put them off of it, then it defeats its whole purpose. >> well let me be fair to >> okay, well let me be fair to parkrun and say that i think what doing this what they're doing with this decision, even though i think it's decision, think it's the wrong decision, i think they're trying to make sure that their is for everyone. but their event is for everyone. but

what think, mark at gb what do you think, mark at gb news. aren't my pundits news. com aren't my pundits fantastic they're fantastic tonight? they're coming in they return coming in hot and they return very shortly. next the very shortly. but next up in the big as his tax return big story as his tax return reveals that he made over £2 million year, is rishi million last year, is rishi sunak simply too rich to be prime minister? and should the uk taxpayer be funding the redevelopment of manchester united's stadium, old trafford ? united's stadium, old trafford? i'll be asking tv news stalwart and man united superfan michael crick

confused about. >> you're listening to gb news radio . radio. >> well, a big reaction to my big opinion. the organisation parkrun who put on these runs every weekend across the country, have got rid of all record and timings in order to include trans participants. it means that women can't see where they are in the league table . a they are in the league table. a lot of you are not happy about this. how about elizabeth who says, mark, let the trans compete in the men's section and see how they fare? gary says

boycott these events. women need to rise up. please. where are all the feminists? stop this idiocy if you have enough grains of rice, you will eventually fill a bag. it is the slow decline of society and rob says, hi mark, good evening . in my hi mark, good evening. in my opinion, you'll see a great many trans gender arguments in the run up to the election. the activists will pick on any discussion. the ultimate aim is to make people reluctant to even question the biological truth. this will play into the hands of laboun this will play into the hands of labour, who are reluctant to stand for the women and are stand up for the women and are frightened to explain what a woman not woman is. well bob, i'm not afraid that as you well afraid to do that as you well know, mother woman. i'm know, my mother is a woman. i'm married one as well, and i've married to one as well, and i've got fabulous on my got two fabulous women on my panel let's be panel tonight who, let's be honest, putting me diddy honest, are putting me and diddy david the shade . david hamilton in the shade. lots more to come. but first, the story and the drinks are the big story and the drinks are on. rishi sunak as it's revealed the minister more the prime minister earned more than £22 million last year, paying than £22 million last year, paying an effective tax rate of 23. this, according to official accounts released yesterday .

accounts released yesterday. downing street published the prime minister's tax return, which showed that in total he paid just over half £1 million in uk taxes in 20 2223. his overall bill was kept low by the fact that 1.8 million of his earnings was put through as capital gains, meaning it was taxed at a lower 20% rate. the decision to publish his tax return is entirely his and goes back to his commitment that he made during the tory leadership election . so what do you think ? election. so what do you think? is it encouraging? is it a good thing to have a successful self—made man in number 10? or is rishi sunak simply too rich to be prime minister could his remarkable wealth play badly with voters and cost him the next election? well, let's speak to a man who is himself independent, wealthy television news stalwart michael crick michael , so news stalwart michael crick michael, so great to have you on the show. is rishi sunak too rich to be pm? >> thank you . >> thank you. >> thank you.

>> no, i don't think, uh, one should exclude rich people from being prime minister. >> i mean, i don't think he's doing very well as prime minister, but i don't think that's because he's rich. i think it's because he lacks common a lot of common sense as indeed a lot of very clever people do. they're very clever people do. they're very at passing exams and very good at passing exams and getting oxford and, uh, getting into oxford and, uh, doing well at winchester , but doing well at winchester, but they sort of lack the common touch. and i think, uh, sunak certainly does. i mean, michael heseltine, , was also heseltine, for example, was also is very rich. and i think is also very rich. and i think he would have made an excellent prime minister you probably disagree because of his politics, but i don't think that , you know, just being rich makes excludes you. i think the problem with sunak is that he's out of touch with the general public. i mean, he you know, he's got a big house in london, another big house in north yorkshire and his constituency . yorkshire and his constituency. he he's just uh, i think installed a swimming pool there . installed a swimming pool there. uh, it's a very wealthy constituency , richmond in north constituency, richmond in north yorkshire. he travels everywhere by helicopter . yorkshire. he travels everywhere by helicopter. he doesn't actually mean many ordinary

people. and i don't think he's met many ordinary people. so certainly not in his adult life. when he was younger and worked in his parents, his mother's chemist shop, uh, he would have met a lot of ordinary people. but think he, he, you know, but i think he, he, you know, i mean, that bet of mean, the other day, that bet of £1,000 morgan , well, £1,000 with piers morgan, well, that was stupid. i mean, he was basically how many people could afford how ordinary people afford how many ordinary people could afford to make a bet for £1,000, £20 maybe, but £1,000. it just it added to this image , it just it added to this image, michael, as a former top lawyer living in a big house in north london, keir starmer is not exactly my man of the people. >> he's also a knight of the realm and most mps are what could be described as privileged, aren't they ? privileged, aren't they? >> no, i don't think that's actually true. i think many mps in both parties now, i mean, i you know, a lot of the people who are elected for the conservatives way back in 2019 under boris johnson , uh, came under boris johnson, uh, came from uh, lower middle class, some working class backgrounds .

some working class backgrounds. so. okay. yeah, there are wealthy people in parliament, and expect because and you'd expect that because wealthy well in wealthy people have done well in life . they and, uh, and life. they tend to and, uh, and they, you know, they're clever and so on. and um, but, uh, there are a lot of, you know, very down to earth people who've been teachers and, know, been teachers and, you know, angela was a worked in angela rayner was a worked in health care. and so on, so in social care. so uh, i don't think parliament is, you know, a very wealthy , uh, club. uh, and very wealthy, uh, club. uh, and i don't really think that's a huge problem . huge problem. >> um, much has been made, michael, of how much tax he's paid compared to others, but he's paying a lower effective rate because of capital gains. he's paying less. but within the rules . just like saint gary rules. just like saint gary lineker . what's the problem ? lineker. what's the problem? >> well, these there are other people who have managed to avoid paying people who have managed to avoid paying their tax. i mean, it is a bit off, but the only play has only paid 23% tax. when that is, you know, pretty much the tax rate that somebody who is you know, the lower levels of the

40, uh , tax rate, i . and so 40, uh, tax rate, i. and so there will be people who have earned , you know, 5% of that earned, you know, 5% of that amount or maybe, maybe somewhere 80 or 90,000 who will who will have only paid 23. and of course , one of the problems he's got here is that his party professes to be a low tax party, professes to be a low tax party, professes to want to bring down tax , has to want to bring down tax, has brought down the rate of capital gains tax, and there will always be the suspicion, um, that that while he was chancellor and now as prime minister, he's done that or wants to do that, uh, in order to help himself and to help his extraordinary fortune , help his extraordinary fortune, which is what, 800 million or something he and his wife are reckoned to be collectively worth . so, from a political worth. so, from a political point view , it does present point of view, it does present a problem , but actually, in terms problem, but actually, in terms of ability to be prime of his ability to be prime minister overall, i think you shouldn't exclude rich people from politics. uh, in the same just in the same way. you shouldn't exclude poor people ehhen shouldn't exclude poor people either. we need all sorts to go into politics. i just think one

of problems and we saw it of sunak problems and we saw it this week in the house of commons. is he lacks commons. of course, is he lacks common he keeps making common sense and he keeps making gaffes that sort gaffes that give away that sort of lack of, uh , uh, you know, of lack of, uh, uh, you know, lack of emotional intelligence . lack of emotional intelligence. really. uh, he may have ordinary traditional intelligence , but traditional intelligence, but when it comes to emotional intelligence , to a sense of what intelligence, to a sense of what the public are thinking, he's he's not quite there. >> but i tend to agree with you. i don't think that the british people are so small minded that they would judge somebody on the size of their bank balance. it's actually what impact that potential prime minister will have their bank balance, and have on their bank balance, and the living now, the cost of living crisis. now, michael , the cost of living crisis. now, michael, let's talk about the cost living in manchester, cost of living in manchester, because you're a lifelong manchester united supporter . you manchester united supporter. you wrote cracking biography of wrote a cracking biography of sir ferguson and incoming sir alex ferguson and incoming man united investor sirjim ratcliffe wants to turn old trafford into the wembley of the north, and may consider applying for government funding to help with the cost of construction. so should the uk taxpayer pay for a new manchester united

stadium ? stadium? >> no, it would be absolutely outrageous. i mean, i want the united stadium to be renovated. it's you know, it's shabby. it's falling down. it's dirty . it's you know, it's shabby. it's falling down. it's dirty. uh, the sign that says the sir bobby charlton sand has faded from red to pink. uh and i thought that was incredibly disrespect . was incredibly disrespect. awful, uh, that they didn't even paint it at the time of sir bobby's death. but, i mean, united are one of the richest clubs in the world. sirjim clubs in the world. sir jim ratcliffe is reckoned to be worth £20 billion. the idea that the government should be paying to renovate old trafford is bonkers. i mean, if the government is going to put money into manchester and there are parts manchester need parts of manchester that need money, mean, only 2 miles money, i mean, only 2 or 3 miles from trafford are some from old trafford are some really of salford , really poor parts of salford, for instance. and you. see also lots of deprivation in the outer london, uh, outer manchester boroughs like wigan and oldham and . uh, but the way to and rochdale. uh, but the way to bnng and rochdale. uh, but the way to bring uh, to, you know, uh, level up, uh, the north is not

to invest money into manchester united. i mean, you know, my fellow fans will be annoyed with me when i go to the game at villa tomorrow . uh, but i think villa tomorrow. uh, but i think they, uh, they well, some of them will pretend to be annoyed. i they'll recognise i think they'll all recognise that it's just just barmy that to the government to pay to expect the government to pay for, the renovation of for, uh, the renovation of united's ground. i mean, if money's going to go into football, it should be grassroots football and it should be a proper fund to deal with the scandal of all the footballers, former footballers who are dying of dementia because of all the heading they used to do when they were professionals . professionals. >> that's a very, very important point that you've made. listen, if you want to see a wonderful, brand new spanking stadium, i'll take down white take you down to white hart lane. be mightily lane. you'll be mightily impressed if you haven't already been what do been there. uh, michael, what do you the principle, you think about the principle, though, a wembley of the though, of a wembley of the north? and that old north? and could that be old trafford , uh, reimagined and trafford, uh, reimagined and completely rebuilt ? completely rebuilt? >> well, it was, i mean,

united's ground was regarded as the wembley of the north. um uh, about 25 years ago, when it when it was, you know, all renovated and so on. and indeed the ground when it was built in 1910 was regarded as the best stadium in the world. so i'm all in favour of, uh, you know, united being the biggest stadium and holding a lot of international games and europe finals and so on, which we've done in the past. but the football authorities , both in football authorities, both in england in europe, england and in europe, have decided that, the, the decided that, uh, the, the ground is so dilapidated or , ground is so dilapidated now or, you know, has gone down. it's not it's not a disgrace, but it's nothing like, uh, white hart lane, which is an amazing ground. i've, i've had a tour of white hart lane and seen behind the i've been there the scenes, and i've been there several times as a fan and, and i would be the model for i that would be the model for us. uh, but of course it's going to be expensive. but then, you know, jim ratcliffe proper fan and he's got the money to you. >> right. >> right. >> uh, listen, michael, i think you're cumbria, so enjoy the you're in cumbria, so enjoy the lake don't fall in.

lake district. don't fall in. >> thank you. my thanks to michael crick television news stalwart and of course, a regular pundit here on mark dolan tonight. >> well, coming up, as it's revealed, british bosses are now completely reliant on foreign laboun completely reliant on foreign labour, has britain once again become man of europe? become the lazy man of europe? are a top entrepreneur are we asking a top entrepreneur and former star of the bbc show the apprentice? plus, in an exclusive mark dolan tonight people's poll, we've asking people's poll, we've been asking , his return reveals, , as his tax return reveals, that made over £2 million. is that he made over £2 million. is rishi sunak too rich to be prime minister the results are in, i shall reveal

muslims earlier on gb news radio i >> welcome back. >> welcome back. >> in just 25 minutes time, i'll be dealing with prince harry, who spent just half an hour with his father. this week. but first we've been asking as his tax return reveals, that he made over £2 million last year. is rishi sunak simply too rich to be prime minister? well, the results are in and let me tell you that 46.1% say that, yes, he's too rich and 53.9% percent say no. it's absolutely fine. and that was my thought as well. i knew that you, my wise viewers and listeners would not be so small minded as to judge somebody by their bank balance . somebody by their bank balance. speaking of which, uk companies are now looking to foreign workers because managers have found it difficult to attract british staff, the economist max mosley told the telegraph newspaper that international

workers are now propping up the labour market. a bit more than 9 million people of working age have quit the jobs market, and the number of companies registering to become sponsors to hire staff overseas has doubled in the last two years. meanwhile, the office for national statistics report that 2.8 million people blame long time sickness as the reason they're neither in work nor looking for a job. and the times newspaper report that the home office is facing unprecedented demand for work visas before the rise in the minimum salary threshold in april, 169,000 work visas were issued last year. now, obviously, it's great to bnngin now, obviously, it's great to bring in the best foreign talent, but is britain once again becoming the lazy man of europe ? let's speak to top europe? let's speak to top entrepreneur and former apprentice star ryan mark parsons. ryan good to see you again as a very successful businessman. are you aware of this issue in your own industry ?

this issue in your own industry? >> well, yes, i'm just finding there's a growing sense of apathy in this country where people are just so willing to not work. and i think a lot of thatis not work. and i think a lot of that is because of so many factors . for example, i'm factors. for example, i'm a young person , i'm 23, just young person, i'm 23, just talking to my friends. a lot of them are now living at home. the average house price in london is £730,000. they're looking at figures like that. they're looking at inflation, which is spiralling. jeremy hunt hasn't unfrozen the tax thresholds, which usually changes in line with inflation. there's so many financial issues that people in this country are now facing . it this country are now facing. it just encourages this apathy . and just encourages this apathy. and now we're looking at 5 million people in this country as well that are claiming out of work benefits that needs to be slashed to incentivise people to actually off their backside actually get off their backside and to work. that's what and go to work. that's what i would say. so i'm not surprised that bosses are employers are looking of the uk looking outside of the uk because a lot of because quite frankly, a lot of people in this country as well are too snobby to do the jobs

that migrants are willing to do when they here. and ryan when they come here. and ryan mark, have genuine mark, if people have genuine medical issues, heart goes medical issues, my heart goes out to them. >> i'm sure you'll take the same view, is it really possible view, but is it really possible that 2.8 million people are so ill they can't work ? ill they can't work? >> yeah, i'm very doubtful of that figure in terms of like actual genuine medical issues, in terms of it being nearly 3 million and also considering since the pandemic, the number of economically inactive people in this country is about 884,000, which is just ridiculous. and i think also the pandemic might actually be a cause for people getting so used to working from home. they get so used to these personal settings that they get to experience day to day, because their employer is so relaxed about them, not going to the office. i think this has inspired a mentality where people are just so comfortable with surroundings that with their surroundings that they even feel the need to they don't even feel the need to go they don't even feel the need to 9° 9° they don't even feel the need to go go to the office, go to work or go to the office, and they're just going to claim benefits because is at an benefits because that is at an all i so much all time high. i think. so much needs be by the

needs to be done by the government incentivise people government to incentivise people to of bed, go to work, to get out of bed, go to work, and it doesn't matter what it is. why are 5 million people in this country claiming out of work benefits? 9 million people that could be working well? that could be working as well? that aren't? it's a joke . that aren't? it's a joke. >> most definitely. well, a full disclosure, i don't want to be accused of double standards. as i was preparing for today's show , i was working from home and let me tell you that my team missed me terribly. maria metzger and katie, they weren't right without me. but let's bnngin right without me. but let's bring in my top pundits. broadcasting legend david hamilton , former government hamilton, former government adviser claire pearsall and tv personality precious muir. david, do you think that britain is once again the lazy man of europe? >> well , i europe? >> well, i think a lot of people have probably worked out that they're better off on benefits than they are working, and they don't particularly work. don't particularly want to work. i the other thing is as i think the other thing is as well, that sometimes people from overseas are prepared to work for less money. so i think it's a kind of catch 22 situation.

>> yes . i a kind of catch 22 situation. >> yes. i mean, a kind of catch 22 situation. >> yes . i mean, clare, how do we >> yes. i mean, clare, how do we fix this problem ? because if fix this problem? because if that many indigenous brits aren't working at some point, the economy is going to fall over. >> oven >> well, i think the government needs to look very hard at tax bands because as they've been frozen since 2022, normally they go frozen since 2022, normally they 9° up frozen since 2022, normally they go up with inflation. so it just means at the moment you've got this horrible thing called fiscal drag , which is included. fiscal drag, which is included. so many more people into general taxation as a whole, but also those into higher rates of income tax than they've ever had to pay previously. and if you are on a relative limited budget with everything going on with the cost of living crisis and the cost of living crisis and the soaring rates of child care , the soaring rates of child care, for example, then i think the government needs really government needs to really look quite as to what it's doing quite hard as to what it's doing to relook at the tax bands, perhaps move them in line with inflation once more and make child care much more affordable for those working families. >> although the flip side is that with a mental health tsunami , obe that with a mental health tsunami, obe and 8 million

people on an nhs waiting list, precious muir perhaps we need to understand that brits just aren't as well as they were, and they need support and they can't work well. >> i think a lot of people haven't bounced back the haven't bounced back since the pandemic. >> they haven't >> i think that they haven't adjusted realised they adjusted and realised that they need out there and need to get back out there and do the things that they need to do the things that they need to do work to able do to get work, to be able to participate society . key to participate to society. key to actually just like contribute , i actually just like contribute, i think that they're just they're, they've become very complacent. they've very like, okay, they've become very like, okay, this just going to how it's this is just going to how it's going to be. and they're not willing do those kind of jobs willing to do those kind of jobs for the that they're for the pay that they're offering moment . and offering at the moment. and europeans in will europeans who are coming in will i mean, most of the people in the service industry are from europe . don't see really that europe. i don't see really that many british people working in, you know, restaurants , bars, you know, restaurants, bars, costa hotels . costa hotels. >> you know, i've never had like they really don't. >> and they're not willing to take on those jobs. so they have to offer them to someone . to offer them to someone. somebody has to do it. so somebody's got to it. somebody's got to do it. >> ryan parsons, you get

>> ryan mark parsons, you get the last word. well i really have to echo what precious was saying. >> i agree, i think there's a growing complacency, and i think it's embedded in british culture where people just don't where a lot of people just don't feel they to feel like they want to do the jobs migrants willing jobs that migrants are willing to do. and at a lower cost. i've got that indigenous got friends that are indigenous brits , and when i suggested to brits, and when i suggested to one them, been one of them, who's been unemployed i said, unemployed for months, i said, why don't you get a job in a restaurant? why don't you go to a cafe? why don't you do this? no no, no, it's beneath me. no no, no, no, it's beneath me. it's beneath i think it's beneath me. and i think this, this snobbery, this apathy, complacency, apathy, this complacency, that's what needs to change. and i think that does, we're think until that does, we're going to these rates soar going to see these rates soar and unemployment is going to keep growing. >> ryan—mark parsons, you're a star. come back see >> ryan—mark parsons, you're a sta soon. come back see >> ryan—mark parsons, you're a stasoon. top:ome back see >> ryan—mark parsons, you're a stasoon. top entrepreneur see >> ryan—mark parsons, you're a sta soon. top entrepreneur ande us soon. top entrepreneur and former star of the bbc one tv show the apprentice . coming up show the apprentice. coming up in my take at ten in just 15 minutes time, prince harry spends half an hour with his rather unwell father and no meeting with his brother. i'll be dealing with the prodigal prince in no uncertain terms at

me, oh, there's he is innocent. he's and time for somebody me, oh, there's he is innocent. he's and sort me for somebody me, oh, there's he is innocent. he's and sort ofe for somebody me, oh, there's he is innocent. he's and sort of out somebody me, oh, there's he is innocent. he's and sort of out of mebody me, oh, there's he is innocent. he's and sort of out of the ody else. and sort of out of the blue, the family contacted me and said that, uh, they thought some been sent some new evidence had been sent to as evidence, as the to me as the evidence, as the editor . um, to me as the evidence, as the editor. um, i'd just come back from holiday and started to look round, and nothing was there, but it sort of whet my appetite. um, so i went to meet the family at the home and saw that the tremendous amount of paperwork they had and fact that all they had and the fact that all they had and the fact that all the from um, the clothing from stephen, um, at and at the time of his arrest and everything was given back to them, and when i mean, the them, um, and when i mean, the strange thing was i went to the police because i obviously worked them quite closely worked with them quite closely before say, you know, before, uh, to say, you know, i think there could be new evidence here that could, uh, quash the conviction. um, or the case needs to be looked at and they were they just went mental. uh, so awkward. they uh, they were so awkward. they were they were arrogant. they were hostile. threatened me with hostile. they threatened me with all sorts of things if i ever got with it. um and got involved with it. um and they said, uh , straight away, they said, uh, straight away, uh, everything all the evidence, everything was burnt, lost and destroyed. uh, even . the pickaxe

destroyed. uh, even. the pickaxe handler, wooden pick, axe handle , which was the murder weapon . , which was the murder weapon. and i couldn't believe this. i thought, if somebody is thought, well, if somebody is saying they're innocent, saying that they're innocent, they're jail. after 27 they're still in jail. after 27 years, a chance of years, there must be a chance of you know, relooking the you know, relooking at the evidence . here and the strange evidence. here and the strange thing was, i've got some very good contacts within the police , good contacts within the police, and 3 or 4 of them contacted me straight the straight away and said, the police are we have the police are lying. we have the evidence. you want? and evidence. what do you want? and they all sorts of they offered me all sorts of things. so i said , well, i things. and so i said, well, i just need to get, uh, idea just need to get, uh, an idea of what's the family . but what's what from the family. but i as much as information i want as much as information and evidence as you can give me. and i you mentioned about pat cullen before, i'm a runner myself . and i said to these myself. and i said to these other people, some were runners with me . um, i other people, some were runners with me. um, i said, other people, some were runners with me . um, i said, look, we'll with me. um, i said, look, we'll have to set up something because you're going to be watched. i'm going to be watched. and so we set zones behind and set up drop zones behind and stone walls here and there or behind gates on my country roads. and so we set up a scene called, um , footballs. you know, called, um, footballs. you know, iused called, um, footballs. you know, i used to play football ,

i used to play football, whatever. aston villa or burnley . or whatever. and so if i got a phone call from somebody or they left a message to say, burnley, you know, i knew there was you know, i knew that there was some at a certain some documents at a certain place and so over a period, a couple of years, we built these up. yeah. well obviously the police were very adamant that i should reveal my sources. they said, know who they are, but said, we know who they are, but we you confirm. and we want you to confirm. and i said, well, if you know who they are, you don't me are, you don't need me to confirm. they threatened confirm. so they threatened me with sorts of things, two with all sorts of things, two years in jail if didn't years in jail if i didn't reveal my and went on my sources. um, and it went on for a long time of these threats, intimidation. um, i was stopped for speeding when i wasn't speeding, i was pulled oven and wasn't speeding, i was pulled over. and sorts over. uh and all sorts of things. as the, i mean, i things. and as the, i mean, i ran a story . the first story things. and as the, i mean, i ran a story. the first story in the matlock murky was i was trying to prove him guilty. actually to see if he was guilty, and i renee innocent or guilty, and i renee innocent or guilty was the headline. and the phones went absolutely ballistic. we got lots of people coming saying we went to the coming on saying we went to the police 21 years then and police 21 years ago. then and offered him evidence. we saw a

man running away like a bat out of hell. we saw other people that were involved giving false evidence. uh, police officers would, uh, come attributed with false statements . and i got the false statements. and i got the a police officer who was in charge of the investigation on this case about three years after the conviction came to me and said, your man is innocent. um, and he was pinned against the wall by superintendent and threatened that that is extraordinary . extraordinary. >> he it's worth stressing, by the way , that you were honoured the way, that you were honoured with an obe for your amazing work . you've been heroic and you work. you've been heroic and you were vilified and attacked and treated terribly badly. this man, steven downing , came out of man, steven downing, came out of prison. i think he got £900,000 compensation. but of course that doesn't touch the sides in terms of the impact on his life . um, of the impact on his life. um, although murder is not involved , although murder is not involved, many of your cases have parallels , don't they, with the parallels, don't they, with the post office scandal? >> yes . >> yes. >> yes. >> well, yes . it's funny that, >> well, yes. it's funny that, um, the main guy from the post

office one only lives about a mile from where i am. um, so it's sort of come full circle with it , and i it's sort of come full circle with it, and i wish them all the best. but i mean, that's been handled so badly. and again, you against you're up against the authority the government with cover failure to disclose, cover ups, failure to disclose, you know, crucial evidence . um, you know, crucial evidence. um, it's happened so many times . and it's happened so many times. and this is where you need a good campaigner to sit it. and campaigner to sit with it. and i mean, i don't think alan or anybody in post office got death threats or anything that. threats or anything like that. it made me, you know, as i was looking to downing case, i was getting a lot of death threats about it from certain individuals. and that i had two hit and run attempts . individuals. and that i had two hit and run attempts. i was chased an hgv lorry . i had chased by an hgv lorry. i had bomb so i was saying, bomb threats. so i was saying, well, if downing is the man that killed wendy suella in 1973, why are these people making threats against me and so it just made me more and more determined to try and get to the truth . try and get to the truth. >> we were an extraordinary journalist, a very man as journalist, a very brave man as well. and you earned that honour

mark dolan tonight prince william brings in extra help as he stands in for the king and the feud between prince harry and piers morgan escalates. will get reaction from the queen of us showbiz royal and political reporting. schofield . reporting. kinsey schofield. plus newspaper front plus tomorrow's newspaper front pages and live reaction in the studio from tonight's top punst studio from tonight's top pundits broadcasting legend david former david hamilton, former government adviser claire pearsall and tv personality precious muir. plus, pearsall and tv personality precious muir . plus, they'll be precious muir. plus, they'll be nominating their headline heroes and back page zeroes of the day and back page zeroes of the day a packed hour and those papers are coming. but first, my take at ten. fair play to prince harry for dropping everything and flying over to see his poor old dad, king charles, who has revealed a shock cancer diagnosis. the king was clearly enthusiastic about the visit, delaying his helicopter flight to sandringham. he helicoptere a so much for net zero, but the meeting between charles and

harry reportedly lasted little more than half an hour. that's about as long as an episode of coronation street. and this right royal soap opera shows no signs of a happy ending, even if this rover has returned . now, if this rover has returned. now, if your old man had received this worrying health news, would you find 30 minutes long enough to express your love? i'd be bedded in for days making cups of tea, fetching warm blankets and reminding him ad nauseum what he means to me. but half an hour less time than it takes to cook, to cook a sainsbury's chicken kyiv ready meal in the oven. and that tells you everything you need to know about the state of their relationship and let me tell you, whilst he's been through a lot earlier in his life my heart goes out to life and my heart goes out to him for that these days, harry is no victim. it's his own family. late grandmother , family. his late grandmother, the charles, camilla, the queen charles, camilla, catherine and most worryingly, his brother william, who have been real victims of the been the real victims of the sussexes campaign . and

sussexes smear campaign. and with harry having led the attacks with money spinning books, podcasts and tv shows , it books, podcasts and tv shows, it was his job this week to build bndges was his job this week to build bridges with his family. now he has seen his dad. fair enough. but why no meeting with his brother william ? if you brother william? if you travelled thousands of miles across the atlantic, would you not do everything to see your only sibling? even if they've got the hump with you, i'd be banging on the front door begging for mercy. banging on the front door begging for mercy . and why begging for mercy. and why hasn't harry been to see his sister in law, catherine, hospitalised for a clearly serious condition and now recuperating at home? surely you'd be round there with a bunch of flowers, a card and a bag of grapes and a room temperature bottle of lucozade to give her some energy, maybe some crosswords to keep her occupied, or a copy of the daily express . always a cracking read . express. always a cracking read. if my sister in law had been poorly in hospital, wild horses couldn't keep me away . harry's couldn't keep me away. harry's blink and you'll miss it. meeting with his father was matched only by his blink, and

you'll miss it. visit to the country 26 hours in total. he spentin country 26 hours in total. he spent in the uk as strong a message. if you needed it, that he can't stand the place. the contrast now between harry and his brother william, who polling suggests is the most popular royal ahead of even his father , royal ahead of even his father, couldn't be more stark at a charity event with tom cruise this week, it was william who looked like the big star with cruise , one of the most famous cruise, one of the most famous entertainers in the world. looking upon our future king with total admiration . even with total admiration. even following his father's health woes, it won't be lost on william that at some point he's going to be king. and whilst we wish charles a speedy recovery, it's likely that the gentle transfer of power begins from now as william readies himself in the years ahead for the top job. meanwhile, prince harry doesn't seem to have a job at all. and what was his rush to leave the country ? rather than leave the country? rather than perhaps enjoy a second visit with his old man ? well, he had with his old man? well, he had to attend the nfl honours awards

in las vegas, where he cracked a few jokes. what happens in vegas? stays in vegas unless you're prince harry, in which case we find out bloody everything. i'm really worried about the relationship between the royal brothers , diana's the royal brothers, diana's beloved boys , and i wish they beloved boys, and i wish they could come together again. but the queen's funeral didn't bring them together. the unveiling of a bronze statue for their mother didn't bring them together. and now the diagnosis ipsis of a life threatening illness for their father seized them miles apart, both geographically and emotionally . now, harry is not emotionally. now, harry is not beyond forgiveness, and the door must remain open. but i'll be honest, i fear the damage is done and that william and harry may never reconcile. harry's money spinning world privacy tour and his three year long moan fest may have been highly profitable . but in losing his profitable. but in losing his own brother and precious time with his poorly father, the price he's paying is far higher.

okay folks, we have a developing story. this has just landed on x formerly known as twitter and the palace have issued a statement. it's a personal letter from king charles. let me read it to you. right now. he writes, i'd like to express my most heartfelt thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes. i've received in recent days . the king goes on good wishes. i've received in recent days. the king goes on as all of those who have been affected by cancer will know, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement . it's equally encouragement. it's equally heartening he writes, to hear how sharing my own diagnosis has helped promote public understanding and shine a light on the work of all of those organisations which support cancer patients and their families across the uk and the wider world. my lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is all the greater. as a result of my own

personal experience, charles are isn't that wonderful? well, that's just a letter from king charles, which has dropped its on twitter as we speak. brilliant sentiment . we do wish brilliant sentiment. we do wish the king a speedy recovery. let me get your reaction to my take at ten and the fact that yes, well done harry, for visiting his dad. but half an hour and he's back in america , would you he's back in america, would you not still be at home looking after your old man? let me know your market your thoughts. market gbnews.com. hear from gbnews.com. but let's hear from my broadcasting my top pundits broadcasting legend david hamilton, former government adviser claire pearsall and television personality precious muir. david hamilton, your reaction to prince harry's blink and you'll miss it appearance? >> well, it was very strange, wasn't it? nobody knows quite how long he was here. it started with 45 minutes. then it went down to 30. and somebody says that it was 12. how it certainly wasn't very long. what could his father say to him in that time? thanks for all the lovely things you've been saying about us for

the last couple of years, or don't worry about me. i'm fine. he certainly wasn't going to tell him what type of cancer that he had, because he knew that he had, because he knew that he had, because he knew that he might, you know, blab it out to the world. so i, i hate to be cynical, but i feel that the trip was more for harry than it was for his father. >> well, i guess he's damned if he doesn't , damned if he he doesn't, damned if he doesn't. precious muir, we've complained that he hasn't come to past. he pretty to the uk in the past. he pretty much dropped everything flew much dropped everything and flew to . hey, what's the to the uk. hey, what's the problem? i think prince harry can't do anything right. >> i think everyone's just going to always criticise him no matter what he does. he came to see his dad. he obviously was here the right reasons. he here for the right reasons. he didn't bring meghan he didn't bring meghan because he didn't bring meghan because he didn't take the didn't want to take the limelight the spotlight away limelight or the spotlight away from is happening with king from what is happening with king charles. and he did the right thing . mean, the end of the thing. i mean, at the end of the day, don't even know if king day, we don't even know if king charles was to see charles was able to see him longer 30 minutes. longer than 30 minutes. so we have to understand that he is unwell. and he have said unwell. and he might have said to prince harry, you know what?

i only manage 30 minutes or i can only manage 30 minutes or 45 minutes or an right 45 minutes or an hour, right now, and i need to get back home and i need to rest. we just don't know the real story. so for going in on for us to keep going in on prince harry, it's not right. and it's the to do. and it's not the thing to do. because the moment we're because at the moment we're losing message. the message losing the message. the message is charles unwell and is king charles is unwell and he's not well and we need to support that. >> claire pearsall mark dolan tonight is the home of diverse opinion, precious disagrees with what had to say . what's what i've had to say. what's your view ? your view? >> i mean, i do think precious has a point with this. is that king charles has had a diagnosis of cancer. none of us know what treatment he's under. we don't know what his health like at know what his health is like at the moment . know what his health is like at the moment. he may well have been told, don't be surrounded by people infection reasons . by people for infection reasons. i think that prince harry. yes, he should have come over and he did. and he made the journey. so i think he should be welcomed. if he hadn't, then we would have all been criticising him for that. think that it really that. so i think that it really is a family matter. none of us

know been the know what has been said to the king. none know what his king. none of us know what his treatment plan is, and of treatment plan is, and none of us conversation us know what the conversation between and the king between harry and the king actually claire, actually was. claire, you're being much too circumspect . being much too circumspect. >> you've gone terribly woke on this. mean , the bottom line this. i mean, the bottom line is, if this was your old man claire , and you lived claire pearsall, and you lived in america, you'd be back in the uk. be here for weeks on uk. you'd be here for weeks on end. you wouldn't spend 26 hours in i take the point in the country. i take the point that visits to the king might be time limited, but i'd still be in britain and it would be a struggle to get me home again. >> well, that's a that's a matter for you and your family. i the probably i think that by far the probably wouldn't around wouldn't want me hanging around my sympathy isn't that my level of sympathy isn't that great. and anyone who knows me knows that i'm not really good on that kind stuff. i on that kind of stuff. and i would offer some would be there to offer some funny yeah , the funny comments. and yeah, the bottle lucozade. but it's bottle of lucozade. but it's entirely up to that person. if they wanted you around. and yes, i probably would have stayed longer than 26 hours. but you also don't want to outstay your welcome. if somebody is poorly. exactly. know , we

exactly. so i think you know, we really have to let that family deal their roles under deal with their roles under their circumstances. i think. i think people behave, behave think when people behave, behave badly , you tend to feel very badly, you tend to feel very doubtful about things that they doubtful about things that they do and they say, and these two have had such a track record and really, to be honest, they've been made an absolute pig's ear of everything they've done since they left this country. >> so i think they've done the right thing to leaving. i think it's right that they left because take because they had to take themselves the themselves away from the situation . that really situation. that wasn't really going i mean , going anywhere. i mean, obviously there was just things that needed to be said. they said oprah's and now said it on oprah's show and now it's . now they to it's aired. now they need to move past mean , when it move past it. i mean, when it comes to sickness, i think everything goes from there. like you need be by your family, you need to be by your family, by your support, your family and by your support, your family and by side and harry by their side and harry was i don't care about the time he actually was there. he was present and he made the effort. and i think that's what we all need to do. so that's . yeah. need to do. so that's. yeah. >> should harry still be in

britain looking after his old man? let me know your thoughts. mark news. okay com or are mark at gb news. okay com or are we being hard the we being too hard on the prodigal prince? let me know your thoughts. but next up, we're going to stay on the royals william royals because prince william bnngs royals because prince william brings help as he brings in extra help as he stands in for the king the stands in for the king and the feud between prince harry and piers morgan escalates. we'll get the of get reaction from the queen of us showbiz, royal and political reporting. kinsey schofield . reporting. kinsey schofield. that's

>> what are you talking? you bump into a real conservative and you get all confused about your listening gb radio . your listening to gb news radio. >> now let's have a look at this response on email . to my take at response on email. to my take at ten. prince harry met his father for around half an hour. that's about the duration of an episode of coronation street. but this right royal drama won't have a happy ending. i fear this from sue. uh, mark, why why why are people wanting harry people wanting half our harry and william to reconcile and prince william to reconcile and prince william to reconcile and harry and meghan become part

of the royal family again? that will be the worst thing to happen to the royal family, the uk and the commonwealth. harry cannot trusted, he a cannot be trusted, he is a traitor, how about traitor, says sue. um how about this harry visit mark. this from paul harry visit mark. maybe the for maybe he asked the king for money. well, i suspect it's just a matter of time. paul and, uh, harry is a traitor. and next time comes to this country, time he comes to this country, he should be locked up the he should be locked up in the tower. says dave, who's not pulling his punches. there you go. look i love your emails. do keep coming, mark at keep them coming, mark at gbnews.com. time now gbnews.com. but it's time now for us news with the queen of american royal and american showbiz, royal and political kinsey political reporting. kinsey schofield. . schofield. hey kinsey. >> hi, mark. good to hear your voice. good to see you. >> great to have you back on, uh, prince william, the prince of wales gets help from a top diplomat, given that he's deputising for his father. >> yeah. a new hires for the wales crew. it's exciting. prince william, he's appointed a former government diplomat as his private secretary. ian patrick also worked for former liberal democrat leader lord paddy ashdown. but other than that , that i know very little

that, that i know very little about him . so i'm excited to about him. so i'm excited to learn more about mr ian patrick. mark. well definitely. >> i mean, what we know is that william's got a lot on his plate at the moment. kinsey, his wife, is recovering from a serious abdominal procedure in hospital. his father is recovering and receiving treatment for cancer . receiving treatment for cancer. yeah, and of course, you know, he's got three children as well with his lovely wife. how do you think he's going to get the balance between caring for his wife and pretty much being deputy king? >> i think he's going to nail it. i think that he would push back on that. you know, that description ? um, you know, we description? um, you know, we know that king charles is very engaged. you see, i mean, he's on twitter today, so he's on x today. so i do we do know that the king is very , very still the king is very, very still much engaged seeing those beautiful red boxes on a regular basis, having , you know, basis, having, you know, meetings with rishi sunak whenever he can, even if it's just over zoom or digitally. um but the king wants to us know

that he's still very much around , and i think that he's just been advised to. and perhaps it's because the treatment he's seeking well , it can sometimes seeking well, it can sometimes make you vulnerable to other, um, you know , sometimes even um, you know, sometimes even a common cold. so perhaps he's been told not to engage with a lot of strangers because, you know, his immune system might be a little bit weakened by what's going on. but the king still very much there. prince william, a lot of new pressure on his shoulders, but i think he's going to nail it. as a young child, this was a baby that had an understanding of what was to come. you know, you listen to paul burrell, our friend, or ken wharfe, also our friend talk about when he was little, just how worried he was about becoming king one day. he's had plenty of time to mentally prepare for this . um, and i look prepare for this. um, and i look forward to seeing much more of him because he was born for this role. he was made for this job.

>> uh, meanwhile, queen camilla had to dash to see charles tell me more. well no, this is actually i. >> first of all, i wanted to say i pitched two stories to you today. one was taylor swift, like, going through a bunch of different time zones, which would shelby . oh. would get to travis shelby. oh. oh, to get travis oh, sorry, but to get to travis kelce, bowl. but then kelce, the super bowl. but then and too . camilla i've and we've got too. camilla i've never thought i'd see camilla and swift in like the and taylor swift in like the same category. but this is an excellent example of queen camilla's and camilla's discipline and dedication to not just the crown, but her husband, who is recently diagnosed with cancer . recently diagnosed with cancer. as we know, due to poor weather conditions on thursday, queen camilla's helicopter was grounded and instead of cancelling an appearance she had at a charity concert mark, she opted to get in a car and drive six hours from sandringham . um, six hours from sandringham. um, um, so because she wanted to be there, she wanted to make sure that everybody that was expecting her would see her. so she drives out there and then we it was like breaking news at the

time because she was so sweet and engaging with everyone talked about how the king was doing well, but also said how much really appreciated all much he really appreciated all the positive feedback and kindness he's received, which again , we just heard today over again, we just heard today over twitter. it really must be touching his heart so deeply that people are writing him and reaching out to him about this cancer diagnosis. ipsis. >> well, tiffany, in that story about queen camilla, shows what about queen camilla, shows what a devoted wife she is and what a no nonsense queen she's turning out to be. i'm a big fan. i've got to say. um, good for news prince harry this week. he has settled with the mirror group over phone hacking allegations , over phone hacking allegations, but his war with piers morgan intensifies . intensifies. >> i mean, will it ever end? yeah. that's right, >> i mean, will it ever end? yeah. that's right , the yeah. that's right, the publishers are expecting to pay prince harry's legal fees. plus £300 in damages. so i do expect that to be a pretty big lump sum. the settlement is related to claims of unlawful intrusion

on 115 stories, and this was a four year battle between the prince and publisher. the stories were as old as 1996. i met nsync in 1988. if that gives you any idea. um, between 1996 and 2010 and, um, uh , harry's and 2010 and, um, uh, harry's attorney wants everything was settled, spoke to the media, and he accused piers morgan of knowing everything that was going on with his reporters behind the scenes. and then pierce and classic pierce form comes out and says, i totally agree with prince harry that ruthless intrusion into private lives of the royal family for financial gain is utterly reprehensible , and i hope he reprehensible, and i hope he stops doing it. >> uh, brilliant stuff. meanwhile taylor swift sweeps the board at the grammys. enjoy the board at the grammys. enjoy the super bowl, kinsey, and we'll catch up next week. >> thank you, sir. talk to you sooi'i. 500“. >> soon. >> the fabulous kinsey schofield. check out her brilliant podcast to die for.

bill. >> you know full well that it's going to go to the lords. it's going to go to the lords. it's going to go to the lords. it's going to get monkeyed around. it's going to come back in a version that isn't going to be acceptable parts of acceptable to parts of the conservative so you would conservative party. so you would therefore go country and therefore go to the country and say, those unelected say, i've tried those unelected laws at other have laws at the other end, have thwarted do you want to thwarted me. um, do you want to have a who governs election and i that is one of those i think that is one of those issues.i i think that is one of those issues. i also think with the economy doing particularly economy not doing particularly as well as expected , and those as well as expected, and those tax cuts are going to be fewer and far between. and we were promised those. so i think that it's up to a may it's all leading up to a may election . and also you don't election. and also you don't want keir starmer's labour party to look like they're going to recover in any way, shape or form and become stronger. so you can at them and say he can look at them and say he really doesn't have a plan, which is what we've saying really doesn't have a plan, whialong.rhat we've saying really doesn't have a plan, whialong. and we've saying really doesn't have a plan, whialong. and we've the saying really doesn't have a plan, whialong. and we've the proof.g all along. and here's the proof. he's just u—turned on one of his flagship policies. he's just u—turned on one of his flagand policies. he's just u—turned on one of his flagand polici wait >> and if you wait till november, like a november, you look like a hostage to fortune. you look like clinging for like you're clinging on for power. goes the country power. if he goes to the country sunakin power. if he goes to the country sunak in may, say, sunak in may, you can say, i believe for the believe in my vision for the

country, is why i'm going country, which is why i'm going to absolutely. to go early. yeah, absolutely. >> you've got >> you look like you've got a plan. look like you're in plan. you look like you're in control of it. whereas if you leave november, then control of it. whereas if you leaytables november, then control of it. whereas if you leaytables i\turnnber, then control of it. whereas if you leaytables i\turn very then the tables can turn very quickly. and it's the opposition that will take control. and you never in that position. >> what do that? >> david? the idea of a snap stop the boats election. >> yeah, think, know, it's >> yeah, i think, you know, it's actually difficult to remember a government that's collapsed quite the spectac miller quite in the spectac miller style that this one has. i think the only chance for them now is to have a sort of fire sale, where what they do is they, i think, you know, allow gordon brown in the past they just, you know, reduce all the taxes so that when labour come in, they've got an absolutely impossible situation to inherit , impossible situation to inherit, inherit. and i think that's the only hope for them now really quite frankly. >> so you think a scorched earth policy scorched . they splashed policy scorched. they splashed the starmer gets cash. >> give all money away . and >> give all the money away. and then come in the then when labour come in the first thing they've got to do is increase which makes increase income tax, which makes them immediately unpopular. but i'm old to remember

i'm old enough to remember a labour government, you know, from the past. and i just hope people you know , know what people you know, know what they're voting for. i mean, the chances are that people like you who who live in a nice mansion, you'll get a nice mansion tax. >> exactly right. >> exactly right. >> failing. >> failing. >> built another conservatory today. >> failing that, you'll get a land tax. you know, you have to pay land tax. you know, you have to pay on your acres of land that you've got . so, you know, be you've got. so, you know, be prepared. that's all i can say. >> indeed . and what do you think >> indeed. and what do you think about the date of the next election? pressures. when do you think britain have an think britain should have an election for my viewers and listeners, when's the right time ? >> 7. >>i ? >> i think 7_ >> i think as ? >> i think as soon as 7 >> i think as soon as possible. i sunakis i think rishi sunak is completely out of touch and he's losing the votes for the younger generation. he will not get the votes for the younger generation . so it is looking like it will be labour in next. the next election. >> that's what i believe and is thatis >> that's what i believe and is that is that good news? >> do they deserve a crack at power? do you think i don't think either one is ready to be able to take on what we need right now for the country, and

so either one is going to be is not going to how about not going to help. how about this bombshell. this in this for a bombshell. this in tomorrow's telegraph boris johnson, sunak has to call johnson, rishi sunak has to call me if wants election me first if he wants election help. think that if he help. do you think that if he doesn't perhaps come back into frontline politics in the cabinet, perhaps that he should be campaigning for the tories and might that help them in a few months time? >> boris johnson no, i few months time? >> borisjohnson no, i don't >> boris johnson no, i don't think so. i think he needs to just stay where is. i don't just stay where he is. i don't think can help campaign. think he can help the campaign. he ruin it he will just kind of ruin it completely. has any sort completely. nobody has any sort of respect for him now. of hope or respect for him now. so they've lost that respect for bofis so they've lost that respect for boris johnson. he doesn't have the people to vote for him. he's not going to help rishi whatsoever. to best say where he is. >> claire pearsall michael lind, writing in tomorrow's telegraph joe biden's condition is simply a matter of record . let the a matter of record. let the facts speak for themselves . do facts speak for themselves. do you think that concerns around joe biden's cognition have reached a tipping point? i think what the clippings that we've seen this week certainly pull that into context.

>> it's a man who is quite clearly unwell , and i >> it's a man who is quite clearly unwell, and i think it's quite unfair that he is allowed to continue in that position. i you know, that's an absolute no brainer for me that if you are suffering as badly as he is, you need to stand down. you need your family around you, and you need advisers who are going to say, this working. i think say, this isn't working. i think it fundamentally unfair on it is fundamentally unfair on the man to let him continue. why doesn't his wife tell him? why doesn't his wife tell him? why does his wife say to him, good point. the game's up, you know. yeah. and think should, yeah. and i think you should, because he's just because otherwise he's just putting himself out there on the on world to be on the world stage to be ridiculed. and don't ridiculed. and that i don't think is in anybody's interests. i think that it's a bad enough state in america as it is. but to be pointing the finger and laughing at somebody that has potentially got quite a serious illness. yeah, really, really not great, i think. i think last time could this do lasting damage? >> precious muir to the reputation of democratic reputation of the democratic party, behind party, who have stood behind this for letters this man as leader for letters to editor the telegraph ? to the editor of the telegraph? if one of them reads , it's time

if one of them reads, it's time for the democrats to face facts about joe biden's fitness to lead america . yeah, yeah, i lead america. yeah, yeah, i agree. >> i think needs to step >> i think he needs to step down. he really is not in a good position run the country, and position to run the country, and he's the country very big he's the country is a very big influence world. influence around the world. so for to still be forjoe biden to still be president, it's time for camilla harris in and take over. harris to step in and take over. she is mentally and she is ready mentally and physically to run the country. um, is , however, joe biden, um, is, however, joe biden, david hamilton, the victim of ageism ? ageism? >> um, well, i've said that on gb news before because he's actually about four years younger than me, i think. right so, you know, when the word doddery comes out, you know, i know i'm diddy, but i hope i'm not doddery . but i think some not doddery. but i think some people are just unlucky and it is a very serious illness and unfortunate really. you know, the brain dies before they do. and that's really i think is what's happened here. >> we're watching it as it happens live , you know. happens live, you know. >> yes, we are in real time. >>— >> yes, we are in real time. >> real time. incredible clips that we've seen this week. and

actually they're really quite embarrassing, aren't they. really. they really are. putin must be laughing mustn't he? of course he he think that, you course he is. he think that, you know, this the, the, the know, this is the, the, the world world leader and world great world leader and the man he's just he's man that that he's just he's just incapable and his wife has to get on stage and walk him off to get on stage and walk him off to remind him that it's time to go. >> you had journalists in the audience explain what audience trying to explain what the question was, because he'd forgotten halfway through. >> think before we move >> did you think before we move on, think the us media on, do you think the us media are complicit still are complicit in this man still being president, given the fact that so much of american media is liberal? well, uh, i it feels to me like a conspiracy of silence. no, i don't think so. i think this is actually is a matter for the family and the people surrounding him. but do you not think journalists do you not think they just pretend? >> you know, there's to >> you know, there's nothing to see joe see here regarding no joe biden's cognition they love? is donald these donald trump making these gaffes? him, gaffes? they'd be all over him, wouldn't gaffes? they'd be all over him, wotifin't gaffes? they'd be all over him, wotif anything, think the >> if anything, i think the press want to keep him >> if anything, i think the press because ant to keep him >> if anything, i think the press because actuallyeep him >> if anything, i think the press because actually thatim there because actually that is selling stories and they selling more stories and they would do the same with donald

trump. i agree. okay how about this headline, this devastating headline, precious times? precious muir in the times? >> gove if the young >> michael gove if the young can't get housing, they will abandon democracy . abandon democracy. >> well, what do you mean? i mean , i think at the end of the mean, i think at the end of the day, housing is going to be well, been or really well, has been or is really expensive . you can't get a expensive. you can't get a mortgage now, you can't buy a home and rent is extremely high. i mean , now you can't get a like i mean, now you can't get a like an apartment, one bedroom apartment for like less than £1,700, a decent one in a decent neighbourhood. so yeah, i mean, the younger generation just can't manage to live outside of the family unit they have to maybe live with at home or with like a roommate situation . varne like a roommate situation. varne it's just impossible. it's physically and like it's just not. it'sjust physically and like it's just not. it's just not. >> well, yeah. and claire michael gove is framing this as a threat to our democracy . a threat to our democracy. because if young people don't feel invested in the economy or in the country, well, they'll abandon it. >> and he's not wrong . and i >> and he's not wrong. and i think that we've seen that. i

think that we've seen that. i think a lot of young people will go abroad for different jobs, and they will see that there is no hope in their own country. it's that, that we it's a stark as that, that we don't invest in our young people. we want them to be able to stay in this country. we want them we want them to take on jobs. we want them to take on jobs. we want them we want them to them to learn. we want them to have in family. but have a property in a family. but if we're not going to enable them to so, then i think them to do so, then i think we're a really, really tricky we're in a really, really tricky position. right. position. and precious is right. rentals shocking at the rentals are just shocking at the moment. get moment. trying to get a mortgage, but also we haven't built enough houses and i know that we've been saying this over and over again. we need to be able to build. if you don't build the houses, you can't sell them to families, you can't sell them to families, you can't sell them to families, you can't sell them to young people. we don't have enough. >> briefly. have enough. >> yeah,riefly. have enough. >> yeah, but.y. have enough. >> yeah, but david, we are i think we are in a situation where almost impossible where it is almost impossible for people to get onto the for young people to get onto the property and for young people to get onto the pthinky and for young people to get onto the pthink that's and for young people to get onto the pthink that's a and for young people to get onto the pthink that's a very, and for young people to get onto the pthink that's a very, very and i think that's a very, very unhealthy i mean, is the elephant the room briefly elephant in the room briefly before the break that before we hit the break that with legal net migration of 700,000 a year. >> now that might fantastic >> now that might be fantastic for we debate

for the economy. we can debate the level, but that's more pressure on housing, isn't it? i mean, we keep up with mean, we can't keep up with demand is without 700 demand as it is without 700 k every year adding to the population. >> we say we're not building enough houses, but i today i was in kent and there was an estate there. it was a former airfield and this airfield is gone and there's you can't believe the number of houses that there are. they're actually building houses . when you think about it, just about everyone there. yeah. >> but the younger generation can't afford it. they just simply can't afford it. yeah. >> there you go. you're building a for people that they a house for people that they can't afford. there you go. fascinating lots more to fascinating debate. lots more to come in exclusive mark come. and in an exclusive mark dolan tonight, people's poll, we've been asking as they make the for wembley of the the case for a wembley of the north, manchester united north, should manchester united get taxpayer money for the redeveloped of trafford? the redeveloped of old trafford? the results in, i shall reveal results are in, i shall reveal all .
