3:12 pm
they're illegal the point they're all illegal to the point of no. >> you mean people on the boats? because let make the point. because let me make the point. >> the point it's the >> yeah, the point is it's the processing that's the problem. the the middle, if you the bit in the middle, if you like, the huge bit, if you take pubuc like, the huge bit, if you take public money away from them, uh, this which has happened this area which has happened in the years, then the last ten, 12 years, then you're going to process you're not going to process the people who over for here people who come over for here example, people from afghanistan who us in afghanistan , who support us in afghanistan, fought with us, have come over and they find themselves in the same logjam as who are same logjam as people who are truly illegal and should be should be put back and there there lies in the problem. if you take public money away from that , yes, then you end that process, yes, then you end up logjam. you end up up with a logjam. you end up with people being shunted from hotel to ship this, that, hotel to ship to this, to that, and have the and henceforth you have the reason we are. reason that's where we are. >> you say that, if >> well, you say that, but if you stop some of them from coming boats, that coming across on the boats, that source, that would be good. but also you talk about the processing, uh, the home office were processing, was were processing, i think it was nine a it's nine applicants a week. it's absurd. >> t- e well, the whole >> henry bolton well, the whole process start is process from start to finish is flawed. there no strategy.
3:13 pm
flawed. there is no strategy. there comprehensive or there is no comprehensive or integrated planning. are not integrated planning. we are not connecting the diplomatic effort to movement from the in to stop the movement from the in the first place and sport out there the crime fighting there with the crime fighting element interdicting the movement and the criminal gangs all along the route. and we're not dealing with what's happening actually at the channel the french channel in the north french coast the channel. and coast and on the channel. and when we've got a when we, these people arrive in the uk, we've when we've got a when we, these peo no arrive in the uk, we've when we've got a when we, these peo no realfe in the uk, we've when we've got a when we, these peo no real coherentuk, we've when we've got a when we, these peo no real coherent plan'e've when we've got a when we, these peo no real coherent plan fora got no real coherent plan for that either. i mean, just for an example on if i may example on that, if i may quickly if and i've said this before, think if you land at, before, i think if you land at, i don't know, stansted, i think most understand they most people understand that they have arrived in the uk for have not arrived in the uk for immigration purposes until they've transited immigration controls don't that controls. we don't have that legal or physical facility on our maritime borders. >> .7 >> why? >> why? >> why? >> why it's not rocket >> why not? it's not rocket science . you actually science. and you can actually detain people under the un convention on refugees. you can detain people who have entered illegally, even if they've entered in to claim entered in order to claim asylum. um and then we've why is it and i don't know, the i'm an expert in borders and i don't
3:14 pm
know why it is that the home office was able years ago to send a probably about ten fold more immigrants back than they are now. have we have we reneged on some agreements? have we? >> do you know, i'm going to answer that for you, henry. now please become please do. it's become an industry lawyers, charities, industry of lawyers, charities, supposedly and supposedly care for calais, and they are literally instructing they are literally instructing the migrants on how how they can evade being sent back, just like most of the most of the public sector in terms of it going downhill. >> this is one of the sectors that has gone down hill as well, at the same speed. and that in terms of in terms of the processing, etc. it's done by the public sector. that's the people work in the public people who work in the public sector. that away, sector. if you take that away, then then there is nothing then then, then there is nothing then then, then there is nothing then these people, to then to process these people, to actually at and get. actually look at them and get. i don't think these particular people to be sitting in people want to be sitting in hotels on or wherever hotels or on ships or wherever they happen that's not they happen to be. that's not their they're their choice, okay? they're coming here. their choice, okay? they're conwell here. their choice, okay? they're conwell hang ere. their choice, okay? they're conwell hang on. no, it is their >> well hang on. no, it is their choice. some of them are making the they realise the choice because they realise it's better choice where it's a better choice than where they are. >> don't want to. they
3:15 pm
>> they don't want to. they don't want to where they don't want to stay where they are. they want to be processed or they want escape. if you or they want to escape. if you if looking at the if you're looking at the illegals, they illegals, in which case they should be more quickly should be processed more quickly and back, that's what and sent back, that's what should happening. and sent back, that's what shoild happening. and sent back, that's what shoi think happening. and sent back, that's what shoi think actually,g. very >> i think actually, jim, very has point because i was has a has a point because i was back in 2010. we know that the conservative government cut policing that was policing by 21,000. that was very very very obvious. that was a very pubuc very obvious. that was a very public facing of public public facing kind of public service. police, what was public facing kind of public sen seen police, what was public facing kind of public sen seen wasiolice, what was public facing kind of public sen seen was the e, what was public facing kind of public sen seen was the fact1at was public facing kind of public sen seen was the fact that as public facing kind of public sen seen was the fact that they not seen was the fact that they had equal cuts across the immigration asylum system. had equal cuts across the immnowion asylum system. had equal cuts across the immnow that asylum system. had equal cuts across the imm now that and sylum system. had equal cuts across the immnow that and to .um system. had equal cuts across the immnow that and to be system. had equal cuts across the immnow that and to be fair, :em. had equal cuts across the immnow that and to be fair, atl. and now that and to be fair, at that time, there wasn't the same pressure that there is now 2014. it ramping up. what it started ramping up. what didn't happen was that government not start to government did not start to match that increase in demand . match that increase in demand. immigration in, including immigration coming in, including asylum seekers in the back of trucks, first of all, and then boats didn't match with boats didn't match it with putting resources back into putting the resources back into the then finally the system. and then finally when they've when they did, they've outsourced it to people. the money isn't the training money isn't there. the training standards there. so the standards aren't there. so the people responsible people processing it responsible for making the decisions and enacting the process aren't sufficiently trained or aware of what i think you're no no, i
3:16 pm

3:22 pm
up to 22 minutes after 3:00, right. so labour leader sir keir starmer has verbally attacked former us president donald trump. i don't know how wise that was for criticising nato members there. the leader of the opposition has pledged that he'd stand up for our allies if he were to become prime minister. and this comes after mr trump suggested encourage suggested that he'd encourage russia any nato russia to attack any nato members that failed to spend enough on defence. so that was 2% of their gdp, which was the requirement to be a member of nato. so was sir keir starmer right to take a swipe at donald trump or is he damaging uk, us relations before he's even begun 7 relations before he's even begun .7 well, let's see what henry bolton and also, um, you know, jim dale make of that. i'm going to start with henry bolton because you are well, you know all about border force and stuff like that. and i'm ex—military and you're ex—military. >> i, i actually think >> um, i, i, i actually think that deterrence preventing war and deterring potential aggressors and enemies is all about at conveying the clear
3:23 pm
message that it would be eye wateringly and unacceptably painful for them to take us on. and i think anything that undermines that message is undermining deterrence . and in undermining deterrence. and in some cases , therefore making war some cases, therefore making war more likely, not less. and i understand entirely what, uh, donald trump was trying to say. he was trying to say, if you want to defend yourselves, you're going to have to pay for it, because you can't just rely on the united states to back you up, because you know what? it's not fair that we bear the cost, both in treasure and in blood, for protecting you . it's a team for protecting you. it's a team effort, and you need to carry your weight in that. i totally support that. and that's about the 2% of gdp that nato members have pledged to spend . i don't have pledged to spend. i don't think it's enough, by the way, in the present circumstances. but the message. think but i get the message. i think the messaging wrong , though. the messaging was wrong, though. i you know what did was i think you know what he did was he signalled to putin that actually , you know what? i might
3:24 pm

3:27 pm
and if you rule by like that and it's (matters. but] that's all and if you rule by like that and it's (matters. but speakingl and if you rule by like that and it's (matters. but speaking of that matters. but speaking of keir this is he. keir starmer, this is he. private schools are blasting labour putting education private schools are blasting la vulnerable tting education private schools are blasting la vulnerable students education private schools are blasting la vulnerable students athation private schools are blasting la vulnerable students at risk.»n of vulnerable students at risk. chief executive of the independent council, independent schools council, juue independent schools council, julie , says that 95,000 julie robinson, says that 95,000 children with special educational needs could be displaced due to labour's tax penalty, and some headteachers are already looking to bolster their finances by attracting more. you guessed it, overseas students and by cutting bursaries and scholarship offers . so is labour's war on private schools the great leveller? sir keir starmer hoped it would be jim dale. yeah as far as i'm concerned, i went to a state school. >> 93% of the population go to a state school and i would prefer the money to go there . we're the money to go there. we're only talking about vat in this case on private schools. they've escaped for a long, long time from the vat trap. it's from the vat trap. and it's about time that got turned around. and that money goes towards majority of towards the vast majority of children this, this children in, in this, this country. that's where it should go. and so pleased that the go. and i'm so pleased that the labour party actually doing labour party are actually doing this. it will work. >> henry bolton will that actually work? >> i well, it work. i mean, what
3:28 pm
will the well he will he get the money? well he probably get the money probably he'll get the money from the, the schools. you don't know initially but it know initially initially but it will a lot of them will break a lot of them and a lot schools will close . lot of those schools will close. um, and then what happens to those children? well, the those children? well, that's the state education, which then costs more . so actually, what costs us more. so actually, what the what's happening at the moment is a lot of the special needs schools are indeed privately funded. they're not publicly funded. um and so i just don't see this this this is nothing thing but a political sort of headline that will appear to those people who who want to tax the rich. >> i'm not even sure it's necessarily aimed at the special needs school. i think you'll find there's a labour politician in effects. yeah, well, maybe. but you know what? maybe no , but you know what? maybe no, it's a government. you start to do a little bit of twiddling with the dial and making sure that are going not to be that people are going not to be left out. you know what this is aimed at? think everybody aimed at? i think everybody knows what it's aimed it's knows what it's aimed at. it's aimed harrows aimed at the etons, the harrows and the rest of it that have
3:29 pm
and all the rest of it that have escaped right. but the escaped that. right. but the schools boris johnson and schools that boris johnson and co so what they co have gone to, so what they provide effective educations really and yes they do. >> and they also know there are people who are going to then have go into the state have to go into the state system. >> p- p— e look at the cost the >> can we look at the cost the government? can we look at the last 14 years of government and say, that's a success? because i don't say, that's a success? because i dorthat's a different question. >> that's a different question. i'm not talking about i'm not we're not talking about the they came from. >> so it's not a success necessarily. the state system is elitist. >> success. but what we're not talking about the effectiveness of education system writ of the education system writ large, what we're talking about is happens 95,000 is what happens to the 95,000 children are privately, children who are privately, privately educated at the moment. they're to have to moment. they're going to have to go the state how go into the state system. how much that going much is that going to? >> talking about we're not >> we're talking about we're not talking we're talking about eradicating. we're talking about eradicating. we're talking taking talking about adding vat, taking vat sectors and vat from certain sectors and putting into other sectors, putting it into other sectors, swapping around certain swapping it around to a certain degree. schools are run degree. so those schools are run as anyway. degree. so those schools are run as look, anyway. degree. so those schools are run as look, youvay. degree. so those schools are run as look, you know, you're not >> so look, you know, you're not going to accrue enough vat from these schools to be able to fund that number of people in the
3:30 pm
state system . it doesn't balance state system. it doesn't balance out and why are we doing it? what is the purpose here? it's going to cost the government more money in the long run to educate the children whose schools a result than schools closed as a result than it than they're to it is than they're going to recoup through vat. and as recoup through the vat. and as those closed, there will those schools closed, there will be vat. so i think, yeah , a be no vat. so i think, yeah, a socialist guessing that you think you're guessing that these schools are all going to close. >> you know, that's almost a scare story. it's the sort of thing that the telegraph and what have you come up with? because they're because that's what they're scared of, that they're to scared of, that they're going to lose of and lose that little mantle of and come me afterwards come back to me afterwards when they say, well, it they do close and say, well, it was a scare, we'll have that. we'll have that conversation. listen to the years time you say that. >> e are the people >> but these are the people complaining are complaining about this are actually in the private actually people in the private school are saying and school system who are saying and they're that of they're saying that a lot of these schools close. these schools might close. that's the point of this. so no, no, no, but some of them may well and their special well have to. and their special education get education needs schools that get caught crossfire of this caught in the crossfire of this and i know as a private schools are a very useful tool. and not

3:40 pm
time ever, ever. >> okay. and i'll give you the reason why. why? um, because he's a doesn't matter which he's a it doesn't matter which party, the way, which mp or party, by the way, which mp or which subject it really does not matter. they their matter. um, but they do their business in the house of commons or a lord in the house or if it's a lord in the house of lords. if you're going to of lords. and if you're going to demonstrate there are places in london which can demonstrate london which you can demonstrate in those areas where in and around those areas where you i think it you can go, i think i think it crosses a line whether it's crosses a line and whether it's legal or not, and i'm not sure. and the i say that, yeah, and the reason i say that, yeah, the reason i say that is the laws of demonstration. they've kind of been mixed up. you don't laws of demonstration. they've kind (where| mixed up. you don't laws of demonstration. they've kind (where wherei up. you don't laws of demonstration. they've kind (where where you're)u don't laws of demonstration. they've kind (where where you're where�*t know where where you're where you things, what you are with these things, what you're do against the you're allowed to do against the pubuc you're allowed to do against the public order act cause alarm or distress. >> can i give you an example? all right. if we go with the all right. so if we go with the fact that it's okay for him to do that okay. so let's take it the i decide to go outside one of ex's houses right, with of my ex's houses right, with flags and loud waving and flags and loud music, waving and chanting and saying stuff. i would arrested for would be arrested for harassment. so i don't think there's any difference between me going outside to an ex or somebody who i don't like house

3:48 pm
atlantic this week. he'll be the first cabinet minister to travel to the island since 2016, and argentina president javier moeen ali has called for the islands to be handed over either. but david cameron has said that this is not up for discussion. so should we hand back the falkland islands to argentina? right. well i'm still joined by former ukip leader henry bolton and, uh, the primrose league thing is not written on there. i'm trying to remember a president of the primrose league. primrose. it's the ipp. well, the people and also just plain me and jim dale. plain old jim dale. he's a social war political commentator. and a weather vane. >> okay , the falklands, i'm >> okay, the falklands, i'm going to declare a personal interest, i may, because i've interest, if i may, because i've been there. i was there in 1982, 83, just just after the war, walk in the battlefields. what a place. not the falklands . so place. not the falklands. so much. that was great. see an island, uh, south georgia , which island, uh, south georgia, which belongs in the same regime, if you like. what a place that is as well. um so, yeah, i was

irrespective they want. saying that that's what he wants irreshenrye they want. saying that that's what he wants irreshenry boulton. they want. saying that that's what he wants irreshenry boulton. yeah want. saying that that's what he wants irrewell,/ boulton. yeah want. saying that that's what he wants irrewell, iboulton. yeah want. saying that that's what he wants irrewell, i thinkin. yeah want. saying that that's what he wants irrewell, i think thereah want. saying that that's what he wants irrewell, i think there british,. >> well, i think there british, uh, they will remain british as far as i'm concerned. and until they wish otherwise. i agree with jim . um, i don't think we with jim. um, i don't think we need to make a song and need to make a big song and dance about i said earlier dance about it. i said earlier in the programme in regard to something else that any potential enemy needs to potential enemy just needs to know without us sending a specific that it will be specific message that it will be eye wateringly unacceptably eye wateringly and unacceptably painful take british painful to take the british forces british forces are forces on the british forces are there british there to protect british territory . and you know my territory. and you know my message. it doesn't need to be sent by the foreign secretary, but, know, more quietly. but, you know, more quietly. look try it. um look just don't try it. um i think it's not not an issue. it's not. we don't need to kowtow to the argentine president's sort of populist rhetoric, because that's what it is. i don't think he has any particular any intention of taking them back militarily or in any other way. um, no. we just leave it to the falkland islanders. maybe if they said they wanted to be british, maybe there's a degree of, um, economics in this because, um, oil.
3:51 pm
>> i'll mention the word. i hate it, but it it's there. and look, you hate . no, no, no, i don't you hate. no, no, no, i don't want to. i don't want to go into climate and weather today, but i'm just just just making the point. i know, well, i'll point. yeah. i know, well, i'll eat it for different reason. eat it for a different reason. i know those those islands are pristine. they're absolutely pristine. they're absolutely pristine. ever the pristine. if you ever get the chance to down 8000 miles chance to go down 8000 miles away and look at the, away and, and even look at the, the sky because you see you the sky because you can see you can all the stars for once, can see all the stars for once, it's not polluted in any shape or form. the seas are crystal clear. thing you want clear. the last thing you want there what's of there is, is what's kind of destroying the world at this moment in time, in terms of the heat the pollution that goes heat and the pollution that goes on. you do not want oil slicks or an accident down there that will destroy the wildlife in any shape and was there will destroy the wildlife in any shape sir and was there will destroy the wildlife in any shape sir davidlnd was there will destroy the wildlife in any shape sir david attenborough.e before sir david attenborough. so are bringing that up, though? >> i'm not quite sure, because the relevance of it is it could well be. >> henry's just said, what's the reason? reason. reason? it's a populist reason. but but sometimes there's an economic oil economic reason and there is oil and in seas in and and gas in those seas in and around that area. >> think there is no doubt >> i think there is no doubt that there be some economic
3:52 pm
that there will be some economic reasons why. strategic reasons why. and a strategic reasons why. and a strategic reason people the easy reason why people think the easy answer is no, no, no. >> i mean, you know, we shouldn't know. that's the end of underline of the story. underline exclamation of the story. underline exclam not1 problem . >> it's not a problem. >> it's not a problem. >> well, listen, i want to bring you to this email that was sent to me robert. robert, to me by robert. robert, thank you said. and this you very much. he said. and this is with regard to illegal migration. said bill migration. he said the bill introduced parliament on the introduced to parliament on the 7th of march, will mean 7th of march, 2023, will mean that anyone who enters uk that anyone who enters the uk illegally through illegally and who passed through the country, will be the safe country, will be legally be removed, the safe country, will be legathe be removed, the safe country, will be legathe home be removed, the safe country, will be legathe home secretary moved, the safe country, will be legathe home secretary willed, the safe country, will be legathe home secretary will have and the home secretary will have the power to enforce this. is that true? >> there are no, sadly , that's >> there are no, sadly, that's that's that that's what the bill sort of says. but there are all sorts of caveats to that as well . so, um , there's other . so, um, there's other legislation that says that they've got all sorts of rights to, to, to to, appeal against that and so on. that's the problem here that we have and that you earlier said, nana that you believe. and i think you're entirely right that a whole industry, a legal industry has grown up around this, and there are still a multiple ways that
3:53 pm
you can appeal against any sort of removal. and that's what we've got to close the loop on. the government. every time they pass a piece of legislation, they leave too many gaps in it. and i just don't understand why that is. heard that the that is. i've heard that the home office lawyers themselves are insisting that certain holes are insisting that certain holes are placed in there, but i think ministers are overwhelmed by it. i should yeah, the simple answer is that's how it was presented to the public. that's not how it is in reality, sadly. yeah. >> and do you know what i'm just saying i don't know. and do you know what? probably 90% of the people watching this programme don't know either. and that is the problem. there is no clarity. a mess . and that's clarity. it's a mess. and that's why we find ourselves in the problem that we're in at this moment in time. well, one of the reasons, well, my thoughts are stop them coming stop the boats, stop them coming in place. in the first place. >> that requires some level >> but that requires some level of diplomacy. would of diplomacy. but also i would say that would use i would use say that i would use i would use my would use the army.

my army, i would use the army. i'd have the channel patrol properly. >> are ways of doing this. >> there are ways of doing this. >> there are ways of doing this. >> and i would operationally a border force there there border force there are there are, there definite, are, there are very definite, proven ways of doing this. >> government >> the government is not listening. the government is choosing the course choosing to go down the course of rwanda , which is a red herring. >> listen, it might be. hang on, i would agree. listen, it might be a red herring, but it's the only herring. and right now nobody any other herring. so nobody has any other herring. so unless do better, unless somebody can do better, i'd see work i'd like to see that one work first, because the same things that scuppering are that are scuppering it are the very things that scupper every single attempt remove illegal single attempt to remove illegal migrants. you tuned migrants. but if you just tuned in 3:00, nana in 54 minutes after 3:00, nana akua to come . i've got akua still to come. i've got lots more debate for you, including the including would the conservatives off with conservatives be better off with a who is more a leader who is more conservative? and don't forget my monologue that is on the way. we're talking about chestfeeding and how apparently a report is saying that chest milk is just as good as breast milk. i don't think so . think so. >> looks like things are heating up boxt boilers is sponsors of

4:06 pm
trans women . so basically men, trans women. so basically men, it's as good for babies as that produced by a mother who's given birth . what a leaked letter from birth. what a leaked letter from the medical director of university of sussex nhs trust . university of sussex nhs trust. in order not to discriminate , in order not to discriminate, described both the both of them as human milk. now the trust said that the milk produced by trans women, after taking a combination of drugs is comparable. i presume in a good way to that produced following the birth of a baby . don't make the birth of a baby. don't make me laugh . on what planet can me laugh. on what planet can that possibly be true? let's ignore if you will, the fact that a trans woman is a biological man. and let's just focus on the numerous drugs taken by this person a to stabilise their condition, and b to enable the level of production of milk required. phd.so production of milk required. phd. so let's look at point b so to enable the creation of milk, a combination of drugs as given to a man to firstly grow the breast tissue capable of lactation , which include lactation, which include testosterone suppressants and oestrogen and progesterone , then
4:07 pm
oestrogen and progesterone, then domperidone or metoclopramide are given to stimulate lactation in low doses. these drugs are used to avert nausea, but in high doses they can bring on lactation and at such levels one of them can also cause heart arrhythmias. what's going on here? even if this person were a biological woman, any medication taken when pregnant is scrutinised heavily to ensure that it doesn't cross the placenta. and when breastfeeding, the traces of it don't end up in the milk itself. so why on earth take such a risk when there is little or no information on the long terme effect of this to the recipient of a newborn baby .7 and there is of a newborn baby? and there is no real need to do this anyway, is it even safe? the nhs trust point to a five month scientific study in 2022, which measured testosterone levels on chest milk , which found no observable milk, which found no observable side effects. but the study didn't really go far enough to evaluate the long terme effect
4:08 pm
or assess what was actually in the milk . and as this is the milk. and as this is a relatively new phenomenon , relatively new phenomenon, little else is known . why is little else is known. why is this even necessary .7 the answer this even necessary? the answer is it isn't. there are plenty of safe and tested alternatives available . instead, this is available. instead, this is about satisfying someone's fantasy of breastfeeding , and fantasy of breastfeeding, and certainly, in my view, isn't in the interest of the child. rosie duffield said. babies cannot be used as guinea pigs for someone else's lifestyle choice . when else's lifestyle choice. when a man has not and cannot grow a baby, why are we pandering to this? who does it benefit? not the children. we wouldn't do any other medical experiments on babies breast milk made by a baby's biological mother is tailor made for that baby. exact de milly hill, author of the positive birth book, went further . she positive birth book, went further. she said breastfeeding is not about the experience of the person doing the feeding. it is about nourishing and nurturing a baby. she went on to say no newborn should be used as
4:09 pm
a prop to affirm an adult's identity as female . but then identity as female. but then university hospital sussex trust is a member of stonewall's diversity champions programme , diversity champions programme, and they admitted that the policy was taken from external organisations in a statement, the trust said the trust takes the trust said the trust takes the wellbeing and safeguarding of children very seriously . of children very seriously. well, if that's true , why are well, if that's true, why are you prepared? in the words of rosie duffield, to use newborn babies as guinea pigs. rosie duffield, to use newborn babies as guinea pigs . so before babies as guinea pigs. so before we get stuck into the debate, here's what else is coming up today for the great british debate this hour. i'm asking, would the conservatives be better off with a leader who is, well, conservative, who could replace rishi sunak to stop this terminal decline in their election fortunes? afterwards, we'll open that up to the great british voice who today is coming from kidderminster. then at 450 it's world view. we'll be

4:11 pm
breakthrough. >> can basically lactate >> a bloke can basically lactate and i and produce milk. and then i thought, well, hang on, this is unnatural. almost turning unnatural. it's almost turning into mary shelley's frankenstein, . science is frankenstein, almost. science is almost turning into a movie . almost turning into a movie. >> and the fact that they are giving people medical supplements the word there supplements and the word there that was so pertinent was never necessary. >> this is not necessary . there >> this is not necessary. there are plenty of off the shelf formulas that people can purchase, and the world health organisation will, quite understandably say breast is best. >> @- e all of that, but we're >> i get all of that, but we're talking about someone who was born and all intents born a man and for all intents and purposes, is a man. now >> yes, they can go through whatever reassignment. whatever gender reassignment. >> all of that and >> i get all of that and i respect them. >> that's journey. >> that's their journey. >> that's their journey. >> it not necessary. >> but it is not necessary. >> but it is not necessary. >> and when you actually look at the chemicals that they are feeding themselves, feeding into themselves, throwing gullets throwing down their gullets in order and the order to lactate and the possible, why are you making me smile .7 smile? >> you point down their gullet, you really do. you really do. >> but this is the this is the in a nutshell. >> and you know, it's not necessary , is it? necessary, is it?
4:12 pm
>> it's that's the thing. >> it's that's the thing. >> if it was necessary, it's a scientific breakthrough. but i could go to marks and spencer's and buy some baby formula. >> i'm a bloke. i don't need to lactate the thing is, it is a natural thing. >> so men that can lactate and sometimes they. but. but in very small quantities. and they don't have breast tissue it have the breast tissue to do it like a woman. so they need to take all these chemicals and hormones to make that happen. some women sometimes some some women sometimes take some chemicals to encourage the lactation, is top of lactation, but this is on top of someone they are someone who, if they are identifying trans, may well identifying as trans, may well be taking other drugs to stabilise condition as stabilise that condition as well. christine, um , the whole well. christine, um, the whole thing is just horrifying from start to finish and it's just more woke . more woke. >> kyrie. >> kyrie. >> it's not necessary . >> it's not necessary. >> it's not necessary. >> yes, breast milk is best for babies. we all know that. but please of babies grow up without being able to be breastfed for one reason or another. one reason or another. >> one reason or another. >> the women die in childbirth for god's sake. there are plenty of babies who do not have the advantage. if it is an advantage of breastfeeding, we just don't need this. is why? what is
4:13 pm
need this. it is why? what is the point .7 what is this health the point? what is this health authority seeking to do? they're just seeking to push wokeism in our faces. they really are. it's just it's so unnecessary. it's so unnatural . and exactly it is so unnatural. and exactly it is so unnatural. and exactly it is so new that we have no idea what might happen down the line for babies who are chest fed. >> i think it's you know, and what they were trying to do is classify both of them as human milk because they are, but not differentiate. just you differentiate. so it is just you could end up with, you know, we're going down such a dangerous and ghastly path. >> i mean, goodness knows where all this is going to end. if normal, sensible people don't stand up and say enough. >> but there are plenty of drugs that have been produced for one illness or one condition that have found to have different side effects. >> for example, bald men >> for example, uh, bald men around the will have taken around the world will have taken these tablets that were, i think, designed for heart. >> you know about >> really? how do you know about that, >> really? how do you know about tha how we know? >> how do we know? >> how do we know? >> i was losing my hair, 25 >> when i was losing my hair, 25 years ago, the case study when i wasn't a study. wasn't a case study.
4:14 pm
>> he's asking for a friend. >> he's asking for a friend. >> there loads of >> no, but there were loads of these loads of these these drugs, loads of these tablets you could take that tablets that you could take that were for example, were just viagra, for example, was for heart, uh, for was designed for heart, uh, for high blood pressure. >> okay. so people with high blood taking >> okay. so people with high blood and, taking >> okay. so people with high blood and, at taking >> okay. so people with high blood and, at night1g >> okay. so people with high blood and, at night time, viagra and, and at night time, they understood how had a they understood how to had a rather interesting effect on, on their libido. >> example. >> for example. >> for example. >> that's an established >> so that's an established drug. >> so that's an established dru now the baldness, >> now it's the baldness, a bald, impotent who happened bald, impotent guy who happened to that's to come off. yes. but that's that's i'm being fairto to come off. yes. but that's that's i'm being fair to the that's so i'm being fair to the pharmaceutical companies , even pharmaceutical companies, even though they've said it's not necessary to withdraw that you didn't. >> lots and lots of drugs that are established off the shelf prescribed by your doctor were once for something else. >> yes, but but viagra what it? >> it.7 >> my it? >> my point is, is that we shouldn't necessarily dismiss it >> my point is, is that we sho ofin't necessarily dismiss it >> my point is, is that we sho of handecessarily dismiss it >> my point is, is that we sho of hand because. dismiss it >> my point is, is that we sho of hand because. becauset out of hand because. because although it's designed for although it's not designed for this, talking about the fact this, i'm talking about the fact that long time study that there is no long time study that there is no long time study that says that the effect of this so—called chest milk on a newborn . newborn. >> so on in life, whether >> so later on in life, whether that adverse that might have some adverse effect don't know about. effect that we don't know about. so take the on it? so why take the risk on it? >> well, it's not necessarily you shouldn't not necessarily. >> viagra enables men to
4:15 pm
>> i mean, viagra enables men to do are by logically do what they are by logically supposed to be able to do anyway. it helps men when you anyway. so it helps men when you know it isn't making them, enabung know it isn't making them, enabling them to do something which they were not born to do. which is what this business of. although trans men producing chest milk, they were not born to produce milk and it's obscene. well, men can produce milk, but you know and a man can do that, but not at a large quantities required to sustain child. >> so this is enabling it to happen more. and it's also this is a vanity project. it's a it's a vanity thing. of course it is essential. >> it's not essential it working. it's not vanity. it's wokeism. well you will put a fine and accept this. >> in my view, there's a level of fetishism towards really. well, i think so as well because you know why? why would you need to that know that you to do that if you know that you can get milk in other forms and there's element of to there's an element of risk to it, the newborn baby, why it, to the newborn baby, why would that? i, as would you do that? i, as a mother would never do that. if there was an alternative that had literally no risk. so, you know, don't there's
4:16 pm
know, i don't think there's any associated that associated risk with milk that is baby from, you is given to a baby from, you know, lots of babies have to survive on formula milk because for one reason or another. >> then that's got >> exactly. so then that's got a long terme. >> historical, analysis. >> historical, um, analysis. so we know already this is we know already that this is relatively safe for babies, but this is ludicrous. >> what's a man going to do using that? what's. i'm sorry. well, the whole thing makes me so angry. what is a man going to do if he's got from their perspective from from a trans woman's perspective? >> bloke who identifies >> so a bloke who now identifies what does is fulfil his what that does is fulfil his i can't really call them her. i'm so sorry. that's fulfilling his lifetime ambition to be a whatever it is. is it a fantasy, though? >> is it a fantasy? >> is it a fantasy? >> it's not like something in your mind you want to imagine yourself breastfeeding and this and that. >> who's who's benefiting, who's benefiting . it's not the baby on benefiting. it's not the baby on this and that's my worry. >> it's not something that health trust should be promoting. view. if some promoting. in my view. if some man to do that's up to him. >> but the baby. are we concerned about the baby? we don't know the results and the

4:21 pm
had to say. so who do you think then? >> um, who do i think .7 i mean, >> um, who do i think? i mean, i'm happy with pretty suella. >> i mean, i'm bringing back boris, to be honest with you. he's still. yeah. i mean, um , he's still. yeah. i mean, um, i'd want him to clearly ditch him at zara stuff, but when i'm campaigning thing, um, is still so positively strong. >> response on the doorstep. >> response on the doorstep. >> i mean , well, this comes as >> i mean, well, this comes as many angry tory members inundate i >> -- >> did the bring back boris campaign with messages of support following the wellingborough and kingswood by—election defeats. reform uk honorary president gb news presenter nigel farage has even said that he believes conservative members would choose him to be the next leader. so for the great british debate this hour, i'm asking , debate this hour, i'm asking, well, he would say that, wouldn't he? could a more conservative leader. they'd probably . could a more probably choose me. could a more conservative the conservative leader save the tories? joining to tories? well, joining me to debate is political debate this is political commentator quirk, commentator russell quirk, social dale, social commentator jim dale, conservative peer lord moylan and former leader of ukip henry bolton. that's the wrong box. it
4:22 pm
should be a star box. the should be a star box. i'm the biggest right, right, biggest box. er, right, right, right. i'm going to start with you, because i was you, lord moylan, because i was reading said in the reading what you said in the daily telegraph. if you could elaborate said. elaborate on what you said. >> i'm, there's a poll out >> well, i'm, there's a poll out today which indicates as so many polls do, that you could conceivably see a path to victory if you had a new leader of the party and new, more conservative policies and all i was saying in the telegraph today is i don't think that today is that i don't think that at this stage that is a realistic way forward. >> um, unless rishi sunak decided voluntarily to give up being prime minister, the mechanism for a change of leadership is just too lengthy and too elaborate, and it's still also the case that there's a large number of mps. i'll put it another there's no real it another way. there's no real agreement within the conservative in the house conservative party in the house of commons. uh on, on on a new set of policies. >> so it's you can't just switch to a whole new set of policies if, if many of your mps don't want to move in that direction. >> so that second leg is pretty unrealistic as well.
4:23 pm
>> so i was saying really probably way of probably the best way of addressing now is to bring addressing this now is to bring the election forward, because i don't getting any better, really. >> it's interesting because dame andrew jenkins suggested that actually have actually we could have a leadership contest. the leadership contest. i said the six between, she said, six weeks in between, she said, it's not that long. we could do that get a that quickly and get a new leader there's any hope. so leader if there's any hope. so just say went along that just say they went along that track a new leader. let's give an example of suella braverman very moreland, an example of suella braverman verythink moreland, an example of suella braverman verythink that moreland, an example of suella braverman verythink that that oreland, an example of suella braverman verythink that that thatind, an example of suella braverman verythink that that that could you think that that that could help their fortunes? yeah >> think one of the >> well, i think one of the other problems mean, other problems is, i mean, i think suella would very think suella would be a very fine leader party, but fine leader of the party, but and are others as well. and there are others as well. but think of the problems but i think one of the problems is that we've got this additional difficulty that lot additional difficulty that a lot of electorate have just of the electorate have just stopped the stopped listening to the conservative they're conservative party and they're not persuaded, you know, not really persuaded, you know, oh, got some new oh, you've got some new policies, the policies, you know, pull the other they're really other one. um they're not really that a new that interested. and a new leader. i think people, you know, have stopped listening in a that's the that's of a way. that's the that's one of the problems. >> russell what you think? >> yeah . look, we are >> yeah. look, we are potentially ten months away from a election, so the a general election, so the election be called by
4:24 pm
election needs to be called by january 2025. um, and look, we used to say that a week is a long time in politics, let alone ten months. and frankly, the conservative party have absolutely nothing to lose . uh, absolutely nothing to lose. uh, but to replace rishi sunak. and frankly, you know, given the results on thursday in two by elections , with another one just elections, with another one just around the corner , a lot of around the corner, a lot of leaders have been replaced just for, you know, far less indiscretion politically than rishi sunak brought us to on thursday . thursday. >> um, i do think that given that the latest poll that i saw said that something like 25% of people that voted conservative in 2019 will vote conservative again at the next election, in other words, 75% of conservative voters that voted in 2019 will not vote conservative if the conservative party have nothing to lose. >> i'm personally because i really fear a labour government, a keir starmer administration because, well, look, we all know those of us in the centre and on
4:25 pm
the centre right. how that's going to end up in 3 to 4 years time. uh, you know, to save us from that fate and for an even worse economy, uh, even worse position when it comes to not protecting our borders, crime, identity politics, uh , high identity politics, uh, high taxation on, i think taxation and so on, i think rather going into an rather than going into an election, uh, certainly now , and election, uh, certainly now, and us as a party facing armageddon and then hoping for the best over the next five years, we're then it all gets back to normal and, uh, there's a kind of cleansing with a new leader. we do have and do still have time. and actually, i agree with the suella braverman point. but also, not forget, lord also, let's not forget, lord david lord david frost, i david frost. lord david frost, i think, is the man that should be prime minister of this country with boris johnson. >> yeah, well, what about but but that's great. but what about the whilst they're doing the people whilst they're doing the people whilst they're doing the jim dale yeah. >> the question will the >> the question is will the tories do better or with a more conservative leader if, if, if that means going further to the right, be this right, they'll be through this wall canal. to be wall and in the canal. to be frank you. because frank with you. um, because because basically when you as far as general elections are
4:26 pm
concerned, um , anybody is on the concerned, um, anybody is on the fringe of politics and i would include extreme right as being on the fringe or the extreme left as being on the fringe. you don't get elected. it's as simple as that. so if they're going to shift from sunak, who simple as that. so if they're gcpretty shift from sunak, who simple as that. so if they're gcpretty farft from sunak, who simple as that. so if they're gcpretty far right�*n sunak, who simple as that. so if they're gcpretty far right anyway 1, who simple as that. so if they're gcpretty far right anyway away is pretty far right anyway away and further, right, then and go even further, right, then that's just going to send them even further into oblivion. let's let's be very, let's face it. let's be very, very it. sunak is very simple about it. sunak is sunk with or without him. the tories are sunk. simple. yeah, it's true. >> if you take the a out of there then he is. yeah. he's actually sunk . actually sunk. >> you noticed. yeah. >> you noticed. yeah. >> revolted. >> revolted. >> yeah i agree with lord moynan in terms of the practicality. his the logistics of changing leader . the his the logistics of changing leader. the time is very, very short. but think at the short. um, but i think at the same time, if you are heading towards an iceberg at full steam ahead and the captain refused to change course, then what do you do? you just sort of prepare the lifeboats or you try to move the captain aside and change course ? captain aside and change course? i would do the latter. well, i'd probably do both, actually, but
4:27 pm
i think there is time. but then we've also got to have a leader who can unite . the conservative who can unite. the conservative party if it's going to work, a leader who is going to, who is going to have to have a plan ready to go on day one, and not just simply be able to tell the electorate, look, know, electorate, look, you know, this is these the new policies or is these are the new policies or this is the new plan, but actually demonstrate within days actually demonstrate within days a engagement on a determined engagement on implementing . implementing. >> yeah, but but then then it's possible. >> but at the moment i think the conservatives are on, on course >> but at the moment i think the co an rvatives are on, on course >> but at the moment i think the co an absoluteire on, on course >> but at the moment i think the co an absolute decimation. urse >> but at the moment i think the co an absolute decimation. and to an absolute decimation. and we'll end up with a labour government which i fear. >> well, a lot people are >> um, well, a lot of people are fearing i mean, lord fearing that. i mean, lord moylan, you you do you moylan, do you do you do you think i mean, you think that there i mean, you suggested different do suggested a different leader. do you think there's any modicum of hope tory is hope for the tory party? is there they can do? there anything they can do? well, always, because well, there's always, because we're suggesting more conservative leader. >> that's difference . >> that's that's the difference. >> that's that's the difference. >> actually suggesting >> i'm not actually suggesting changing because don't changing leader, because i don't actually time to actually think there's time to do implement it and do in do it, implement it and do it in a that's credible to the a way that's credible to the
4:28 pm
voters. the real voters. that's the real difficulty we face. >> but what i am, um, but i, i do think . there is always hope do think. there is always hope of course, hope should never be abandoned . and it is possible abandoned. and it is possible that things will get better on the economic front. that the boats will stop that inflation and cost of living will come down, and so on. but i don't see the signs really of that happening in in a way that is going to carry people going to carry enough people with us, uh, to, to make a huge difference. but it's possible that we could have a better outcome in a few months down the road than we would if we were going today. >> but then it's also possible things are going to get worse and people are rolling off fixed rate mortgages, example, and rate mortgages, for example, and seeing payments rate mortgages, for example, and se(up| payments rate mortgages, for example, and se(up , payments rate mortgages, for example, and se(up , there'd payments rate mortgages, for example, and se(up , there'd be payments rate mortgages, for example, and se(up , there'd be more ayments rate mortgages, for example, and se(up , there'd be more peoples go up, there'd be more people doing that. that will add to the cost crisis, and we cost of living crisis, and we don't what's going to don't know what's going to happen boats we're happen with boats because we're not if the summer not in charge. and if the summer weather is placid and the seas are who knows how are flat, who knows how many might across? um, we we're might come across? um, we we're not in charge of that. well what i was reading here is tory peer.
4:29 pm
>> lord moylan in the telegraph. i the party had i said, said the party had a possible path to victory if it got rid of mr sunak. i'm quoting the poll there. >> so you're quoting slightly mangled by the. >> but i think that's what the poll today shows. but then i went to that that is if went on to say that that is if that the path to victory, that is the path to victory, there are considerable difficulty involved with both parts of it. >> mhm. but jim, do. >> mhm, mhm. but jim, do. >> mhm, mhm. but jim, do. >> yeah. when you look at things that work and don't work, you sometimes brand, the sometimes look at the brand, the conservative brand is destroyed . conservative brand is destroyed. thatis conservative brand is destroyed. that is the problem. it's been destroyed uh in destroyed from within. uh in terms of what they've done and what they've not done. and when you a brand that's not just you have a brand that's not just tarnished, but but in wrecks, you going you ain't you ain't going to you ain't going back at that. going to come back at that. that's, that's just to that's, that's just going to that's polls are more or that's why the polls are more or less as they are. that's less stayed as they are. that's why you've the by elections why you've seen the by elections result that you've this result that you've seen this week. there's rescue week. and there's no rescue party um, are not going party reform, um, are not going to be the next government in any shape they'll come shape or form. they'll come probably fourth, not even third. so there's only 111 way, one direction. and that is bring on
4:30 pm
a general election and you will see change of government. all see a change of government. all right. see a change of government. all rigiwell not okay. well it's >> well it's not okay. well it's not going you all finally not going to ask you all finally then, um, so will a potential change. we know the change. i think we know the answer a more conservative answer could a more conservative leader save the tories? russell quirk, no? quirk, yes or no? >> can i just quickly >> yes. can i just quickly correct though saying correct jim, though jim's saying that far right is that rishi sunak is far right is absolutely . not absolutely unbelievable. not only is it insulting, it's just simply not right. i don't think he said no, i didn't. did he said no, i didn't. what did you didn't i said to the you say? didn't i said to the right party the problem with the conservative is that conservative party is that it has too left. it actually has gone too left. it actually needs to the manifesto needs to fulfil the manifesto pledges might pledges of 2019. then it might get so, so very briefly then. >> more conservative leader >> so a more conservative leader , could a more conservative leader save tories? or leader save the tories? yes or no ? russell yes. yes, jim. yes no? russell yes. yes, jim. yes or no? >> not a chance. >> not a chance. >> not a chance. >> not more than yes or no. uh, possibly. >> it could be done by magic, where you just pull a curtain and you have a new. and all of a sudden you have a new monster with new policies. if that were possible, then it might be a part of victory. >> henry paulson.
4:31 pm

4:39 pm
selection of candidates. and instead of constituencies being allowed to select a candidate in their own mould, which is much further to the right, they had to have people foisted on them by central office. so we've got all these people who are supposedly tory mps. they're not as you can see, by the way as has you can see, by the way they behave. it's far too they behave. so it's far too late. the, you know, all the late. and the, you know, all the metaphors are there, the icebergs and deckchairs and goodness knows what. it's far too late. there is nothing they can do. and what the tory party needs to do . needs to do. >> yeah, hitting an iceberg. >> yeah, hitting an iceberg. >> they need to. can i just finish? they need. they need a catastrophic defeat, which is what they're going to get to throw some sense into them. and they may be back in five years, i doubt it. it'll probably be ten years. >> all maritime metaphors, aren't they? >> sinking ships and titanic and ice packs and wheels. >> okay, the question . >> okay, the question. >> okay, the question. >> wheels one. >> wheels one. >> what the wheel ? >> what was the wheel? >> what was the wheel? >> at the wheel, all >> one asleep at the wheel, all that sort of stuff. motoring one really know. oh, not really know. oh, it's not it. >> more a no.

4:49 pm
$355 million to new york for state apparently lying about the value of his properties. travelling over now to america, let's speak to the host of the politics people podcast, paul duddridge, and find out the latest paul duddridge welcome on board trump loses his third new york civil case in nine months. yeah yep. >> uh, he's half $1 billion in the hole now go to new york. >> now, look, he says he's going to appeal all these cases. so two of these cases were the e jean carroll carroll okay. >> these cases , by the >> these are civil cases, by the way. not been guilty way. he's not been found guilty of any crimes. >> uh, two of the cases >> he uh, two of the cases e jean carroll that's about $100 million. >> and then this one, $350 million, you can't do business in new york for three years, either for, uh , absolute lawfare either for, uh, absolute lawfare going on. >> this is prosecuted by the new york attorney general who campaigned . campaigned. >> and her campaign slogan was , >> and her campaign slogan was, she's going to get trump before
4:50 pm
she's going to get trump before she even got into office. >> she knew. so the thing is , he >> she knew. so the thing is, he was at sneaker con , as you say, was at sneaker con, as you say, he literally has to either liquidate companies , borrow the liquidate companies, borrow the money to pay. >> he's going to appeal. all right. he's going to appeal the trick is he has to still put the money into court whilst these appeals are being heard. >> so ironically, he's half $1 billion in, uh, in the hole. he has to actually put about another $100 million into court. it's like 20 to 25% more. while the appeals are being heard. so he has to get a bond broker basically to, uh, and that's going to cost him 20. so he has to come up with like $100 million. just just just to, uh, tread water at this point . but tread water at this point. but it is an absolute abuse . it's an it is an absolute abuse. it's an abuse of the system . the most abuse of the system. the most pernicious lawfare that the us has ever witnessed . and even if has ever witnessed. and even if he wins, which he will, he'll ultimately win these on appeal. it ties this up. this is something you talked about weeks ago. it ties his hands
4:51 pm
financially . it ties his financially. it ties his businesses . he can't do business businesses. he can't do business for three years. it ties his hands financially. he can't even make money because his wealth is going to be tied up until these appeals are heard. so he's got his new so he's got his new speaker con, sort of a sneaker con thing where he's selling trainers . trainers. >> is this true? that can't be true . he's seriously selling true. he's seriously selling trainers for $399 to probably try and make some money there. >> well, listen, if you can get a pair, i've got a garage full of them . it's, uh. i think of them. it's, uh. i think they're called the no surrender. i think they're called no i think they're called the no surrender gold high surrender sneakers. gold high tops, and, uh, well, if the thing is, the thing is, these are going to sell, but they're only going to sell a few million. he literally does have to like at $100 to have, like, at least $100 million who's going to million cash. who's going to lend him money to actually appeal these cases ? he's in a appeal these cases? he's in a very, very financial sticky situation. >> i want a pair when if he does
4:52 pm
win , though, can he then sort of win, though, can he then sort of quash all this , or does he still quash all this, or does he still have to pay it? >> he can quash it. he will quash it. yes that will exactly, exactly what will happen ultimately. in the meantime , you ultimately. in the meantime, you have to come up with the cash and put it into the court. that's that's the trick . and that's that's the trick. and this look, never go this is how look, never go against city it's always against city hall. it's always going win the these, uh, this going to win the these, uh, this political class has got it in for him literally. i mean, this is the campaign letitia james, uh, ran was basically we've uh, ran on was basically we've got for trump. got it in for donald trump. yeah. he's going to win. but in the you cannot get the meantime, you cannot get hold of your own money. it is going in escrow for years. >> i want to ask you, because keir starmer made some comments >> i want to ask you, because keir regardr made some comments >> i want to ask you, because keir regard t01ade some comments >> i want to ask you, because keir regard to trumpyme comments >> i want to ask you, because keir regard to trump and comments >> i want to ask you, because keir regard to trump and kind1ents >> i want to ask you, because keir regard to trump and kind of|ts with regard to trump and kind of slightly insulted trump with trump's about 2% trump's comments about 2% of gdp, that you know, he gdp, and that he, you know, he would he sort of said to putin, come on, attack these countries that aren't paying, uh, has trump commented on keir starmer making an almost sort of comment about him, or has he even noficed about him, or has he even noticed ? noticed? >> well, i think what we know is
4:53 pm
that the leader of the opposition to donald trump is less important than a pair of gold high top sneakers, so he hasn't he hasn't yet, um, found time to comment on keir starmer's retort. uh, asked ing nato signatories to actually stick to their agreement to pay to the 2. so no, he hasn't, uh, he hasn't found time in his busy schedule yet to reply to keir starmer. but gosh, can you imagine if keir starmer was prime minister and trump is president? going to president? it's just going to be the best. mean, that's worth the best. i mean, that's worth that's price that's worth the price of admission alone. >> yeah . and very briefly, admission alone. >> hillaryeah . and very briefly, admission alone. >> hillary clinton|d very briefly, admission alone. >> hillary clinton and ry briefly, admission alone. >> hillary clinton and obamaly, uh, hillary clinton and obama are these what's going on there? we've got about a minute. okay. >> so trump's got a criminal case coming up on march 25th. okay the, uh, the famous, uh, whatever her name is, uh, porn star, uh, hush money, stormy daniels, that's going to be the first. stormy daniels is going to be the first criminal case. okay so now the hillary clinton, obama, both fined for spending campaign funds exactly the same
4:54 pm
way they were treated as misdemeanours and just given a fine 350,000, 100,000. trump is absolutely being treated as a as absolutely being treated as a as a felony . and it's a criminal a felony. and it's a criminal case. you're he is being accused of exactly the same thing in this march 25th case. and the point is, the reason it's relevant this week is that the date was confirmed. it's march 25th. the, uh, the president united states is going to be the very first time a president has been tried in a criminal case. i can't say ex—president. i'm sorry. >> no . well, you know, well, >> no. well, you know, well, he's making moves and shapes, and we're getting more action from than joe biden. paul from him than joe biden. paul duddridge, much. duddridge, thank you so much. that's duddridge, that's paul duddridge, host of the podcast. i'm the politics people podcast. i'm nana this is a gb news. nana akua this is a gb news. we're live on online on we're live on tv, online and on digital radio. still to come, my next great british debate. is starmer right to attack donald trump over his nato comments? and tuned for outside. my and stay tuned for outside. my guest restaurants guest is a chef with restaurants across london. he held a world record for the most pancake flips, and one of his flips, and he's one of his siblings. he's one of nine. all of that after this looks like

5:22 pm
spend enough on defence. but with trump slightly ahead in the polls, with starmer right to criticise him, or is he damaging uk, us relations , what do you uk, us relations, what do you think? so joining me to discuss this former adviser to the bank of england, doctor roger gewolb and chair of republica overseas, of england, doctor roger gewolb and (svenssonepublica overseas, of england, doctor roger gewolb and (svensson i'm lica overseas, of england, doctor roger gewolb and (svensson i'm going/erseas, of england, doctor roger gewolb and (svensson i'm going to seas, of england, doctor roger gewolb and (svensson i'm going to start greg svensson i'm going to start with you, greg. seeing as your chair of republicans overseas was he right? sir keir starmer the short is no. the short answer is no. >> think he could been >> i think he could have been much constructive if he's much more constructive if he's thinking that trump might be president, he should be a little bit more constructive about it, maybe suggest that the maybe even suggest that the countries are not countries that are not contributing 2% of their gdp to military spending maybe should step up and do it. and that's , step up and do it. and that's, you know, obviously, nato is completely dependent on us involvement. so president trump has a funny way of saying things sometimes, but his point is correct that, you know, with with only 11 members of nato spending 2, that's just inadequate . inadequate. >> well, after he said it, after trump made his comments, a lot of them started to cough up. so
5:23 pm
whatever he did work roger gewolb me. gewolb pardon me. >> i think there are two >> well, i think there are two points. one pardon me, one about the men and the other about the issue regarding the men. i think that, uh , keir starmer, who when that, uh, keir starmer, who when bons that, uh, keir starmer, who when boris calls him the human bollard, you know, it does kind of call him that. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> not that . >> not that. >> not that. >> oh, he's called him that many times. >> the human, the human bollard. >> the human, the human bollard. >> and it does ever so slightly resonate . but the thing being resonate. but the thing being that he's now trying to make , at that he's now trying to make, at least with the anti—semitism issue , uh, a show of himself as issue, uh, a show of himself as a stronger leader, a bit of a strong man. whether he'll carry that through if he's elected, i don't know whether we'll have jeremy corbyn, whom he tried to get elected twice, of course, appear from the woodwork is anybody's guess. >> but he's trying to put on a show of strength. >> and i think he killed it all by criticising former president trump for doing one of his usual
5:24 pm
things tricks to get some results, which he always seems to do. moving to the issue, i think that it's just absolutely unacceptable for these countries, not to meet their commitments and yet expect to be defended. >> i, i don't support trump in saying that he would encourage putin to attack them, but i do support him in scaring the pants off of them. >> i mean, as i've said on other programs, if you belong to, do you belong to a club? >> does the club let members in who don't pay their dues? >> why is the uk the only country with the united states counter attacking the houthis, for example? i think it's shameful. >> um, i mean, that's the soccer that others aren't stepping in and getting involved in that. and actually protecting the interests of those in the west, which is what america are doing. and the houthis are thugs and pirates, you know, even actually and the houthis are thugs and pirthe;, you know, even actually and the houthis are thugs and pirthe pro—palestine en actually and the houthis are thugs and pirthe pro—palestine protest,|lly at the pro—palestine protest, people were support of people were in support of houthis. mean, this is this is houthis. i mean, this is this is how gone. but you how crazy it's gone. but you know, what me is, though, know, what gets me is, though, you you seem to equally
5:25 pm
you you both seem to equally criticise trump for the way he said it, but don't criticise said it, but i don't criticise him. think he's absolutely him. i think he's absolutely spot what happened spot on because what happened after that way, a lot after he said it that way, a lot of have stepped up. sure. of them have stepped up. sure. >> so, you know, it went from what other way could he say? >> he's even the president. >> yeah. well started in >> yeah. well he started this in 2017 there was only five 2017 when there was only five countries meeting the commitment. you know, commitment. and then, you know, they moved up to 11. so progress. better than than progress. it's better than than nothing. so you know good for him. and if he if he says it in a in a in an unfiltered way, that's just trump's nature. and so he's not always perfect with, with the delivery. but but the point is absolutely correct . point is absolutely correct. >> and i didn't criticise him at all. i simply said that he might not have said i would encourage putin. rest. he's putin. all the rest. he's absolutely right. putin. all the rest. he's abswell,y right. putin. all the rest. he's abswell,y don't know does >> well, i don't know what does neil hamilton think of that? he's joining he's ukip he's joining us now. he's ukip leader. he's there in wiltshire. neil hamilton, your thoughts on this? was trump, right? and actually way said it actually even the way he said it as well . as well. >> yeah, think trump was >> yeah, i think trump was absolutely spot the button , absolutely spot on the button, uh, in these european countries have been freeloading off the
5:26 pm
united for decades. united states for decades. >> and now that the geopolitical plates are moving in different directions with the rise of china, the us is inevitably going to concentrate more on the far east than they are in europe, where we are mature democracies. >> some of the richest countries in the world can well afford to pay in the world can well afford to pay for our own defence in alliance with the united states . alliance with the united states. there's no reason whatever for anybody to fail to meet the nato commitments. i mean, the us is spending 3.5% of its gdp on defence. >> you know, britain only barely spends 2. i don't think we are spending enough in this country even though we meet our nato commitment. >> well , you know, commitment. >> well, you know, and greg is nodding his head there. >> yeah, but can i just neil, just to briefly ask you then, if you trump's delivery you do think trump's delivery was acceptable, though, because that's of it. that's the other side of it. people talking about the people are talking about the delivery the way he said it. delivery and the way he said it. and towards putin and the threat towards putin should attack the other countries that don't it . countries that don't pay it. >> trump is not a >> well. i mean, trump is not a sort of polished oxford union debater, is he?
5:27 pm
>> so he's a rough, tough property magnate from new york. uh and you mustn't expect the kind of manners that you would expect from , uh, oxford or expect from, uh, oxford or cambridge student in a debating chamber . uh, cambridge student in a debating chamber. uh, you just have to accept that's the nature of the man. he knows what gets results . man. he knows what gets results. you know, the art of the deal is , book, and it's written , is his book, and it's written as a result of his own experience . he did it. experience. he did it. >> and, you know, i've realised i've deals using the art of i've done deals using the art of the even knowing the deal without even knowing it. too, right? it. so i'm good too, right? let's bring on. let's bring on nigel as well, because nigel nelson as well, because nigel nelson as well, because nigel nelson as well, because nigel nelson , they're in nigel nelson, they're coming in from there there we from all over and there there we go. nigel nelson, thoughts go. nigel nelson, your thoughts then trump. you know the then was was trump. you know the delivery. people delivery. some people are complaining but he complaining about. but was he right was keir starmer right right and was keir starmer right to sort attack him for to then sort of attack him for what he said was clearly wrong that that you don't that the that you don't encourage a encourage russia to attack a nato member where he was right originally was it was absolutely that of course people should pay up what they owe . up what they owe. >> uh, what nato is, it's a
5:28 pm
club. it's there to defend us all. and as with all clubs, there are membership fees that if you want to continue , you you if you want to continue, you you have to actually stump up. so, uh , britain's been very good on uh, britain's been very good on this that , that, uh, back in this that, that, uh, back in 2014 when the, when the 2% defence target was set, uh , uh, defence target was set, uh, uh, us and the americans in greece were the only ones to , uh, to were the only ones to, uh, to pay were the only ones to, uh, to pay the money. um uh, as you as you've just said that now we're up to 11 of 31 members, but even so , that's only a third. so it so, that's only a third. so it is quite right for trump to get angry about america having to fund europe's defence umbrella. but don't go around telling putin to go to go. and, uh , uh, putin to go to go. and, uh, uh, attack a european country. it wasn't. >> but you, you and i know that that wasn't a literal meaning . that wasn't a literal meaning. you knew. i mean, come on, let's not pretend here that we're stupid. that wasn't a literal meaning. was play , and it meaning. that was a play, and it was and i'm quite was a tactic. and i'm quite clear that that's what he was saying find it saying. i just i find it incredible that people want to
5:29 pm

5:37 pm
leader sir keir starmer has pledged that he'd for stand up our allies if he were to become prime minister. and this follows mr trump that he'd mr trump suggesting that he'd encourage any encourage russia to attack any nato that failed to nato members that failed to spend enough on defence. but some have argued that starmer's actions could threaten uk. us relations , seeing as trump is relations, seeing as trump is likely to be the next president and starmer to be the and starmer likely to be the next prime minister. so i'm asking right to asking will starmer right to attack nato? attack trump over nato? well, joining discuss that joining me to discuss that author and broadcaster christine hamilton and also broadcaster and danny kelly, and journalist danny kelly, danny kelly. >> look, i mean, keir starmer is tapping into the left of his party who loathe donald trump, i think 5 or 6 years ago, when trump was invited over with the p°mp trump was invited over with the pomp and the ceremony afforded to him and the speaker of the house of commons was spouting off and gobbing off, and you had all of these. bercow yeah . and all of these. bercow yeah. and you of these lefty mps you had all of these lefty mps saying he shouldn't be. it was a disgrace. it was an absolute scandal. and this i'm not one to use the cliche virtue
5:38 pm
signalling, but that was a great example of virtue signalling. and here we go again. anti—donald trump i don't think donald trump was inviting russia to, to invade any nato country whatsoever . he was to, to invade any nato country whatsoever. he was speaking metaphorically and he was trying to drive home a point that he's been making when he was in power. i remember he had the great and the good. all the european leaders or the nato leaders and he was saying, you need to start paying your way, pal. yeah. and it's something that a bee in his that is, he's got a bee in his bonnet about this. i didn't realise that the paid 3. i realise that the yangs paid 3. i thought everyone just paid the two and a bit percent or whatever it was. pay 2. >> correct. and after he said it, of them started pay it, a lot of them started to pay their so it obviously worked. their 2. so it obviously worked. >> yeah. and also is, this >> yeah. and also this is, this is from who's not is from someone who's not actually exactly. he's actually in power. exactly. he's got in got for someone who's not in power, so much power . power, he's got so much power. yeah. it's remarkable. so what's starmer right . yeah. it's remarkable. so what's starmer right. uh, i don't think he was right. i just think he i just think once again, he's just reminds himself how much how many people loathe trump . yeah.
5:39 pm
many people loathe trump. yeah. it's unnecessary. christine hamilton, he was 100% wrong. >> i mean, he's alienating the person who is most likely to be the next leader of the western world. you in a mess in world. if you were in a mess in a war, in a pickle, who would you want on your side? the usa or the french? no no contest. and it is ridiculous. and as as as people have said in different ways , you know, if you don't pay ways, you know, if you don't pay your insurance dues, you're not going to get cover when the roof blows off. but listen, it isn't just starmer. i unearthed this. this is what david lammy, if you can believe he is set to be our foreign secretary when lord cameron has to move over, he did. he described trump as a woman hating, neo nazi sympathising sociopath . and this sympathising sociopath. and this is this is the man who is yes. is yes. is this is the man who is yes. is yes . seriously, who is this is the man who is yes. is yes. seriously, who is going to be our next foreign secretary and to alienate the states like that? i mean , it's absolute, an that? i mean, it's absolute, an utter madness. and of course,
5:40 pm
these other countries in nato have to start paying their dues. why should the states pay for us? why should they also what david lammy said if he did, did he say that? >> no. trust that you've taken that? absolutely quite eloquent and perfectly and you're perfectly intelligent. um, you know , intelligent. so, um, you know, they are alienating those that could potentially help us. i don't think it's wise in terms of diplomacy to be insults your allies way. and we need allies in that way. and we need america. and the point that donald correct . donald trump made was correct. he was right, wasn't he? >> yeah, but trump was clumsy. you you could equally you could you could equally argue trump's and argue that trump's clumsy and his are necessary. his rhetorics are necessary. look, donald trump look, i don't hate donald trump one bit, but you could you could equally he needs to equally argue that he needs to rein in little as well rein it in a little bit as well with rhetoric. with his rhetoric. >> it worked. it worked. >> so since he that, which >> so since he said that, which countries started countries have started chiselling more quid, chiselling in a few more quid, 30 have now chipped in 30 countries have now chipped in or a lot of them chipped >> so a lot of them are chipped in so since he said that in now. so since he said that there's so that's there's been action so that's there's been action so that's the hustler. >> hustler. >> hustler. >> yeah. yeah. >> yeah. yeah. >> oh yeah. no definitely yes. yes it's worked. it has. yes it has. it's worked. it has. well i'm not sure. >> there are even 30 countries in well i can't

5:44 pm
should be paying their way. >> mhm mhm. good good point. now david palmer in watford david i just another bit of just think it's another bit of postulating by keir starmer because he thinks he can flex his muscles. >> so he's going to be the next prime minister um i think he thinks same thinks himself the same character actually as , character in love actually as, as minister who stood as the prime minister who stood up to americans as nasty up to the americans as nasty people , forgetting have people, forgetting they have always the, uh, the posse always been the, uh, the posse of the world, they've gone in and support everyone. and we do need to support each other in nato and stop paying off people . nato and stop paying off people. he's doing it again now. he says, oh, everyone's upset with me. i'm going support me. i'm going to support a ceasefire because everyone's upset and i'll lose the upset with me and i'll lose the muslim vote. so he's trying to find anyway every way. find votes anyway in every way. yeah you try and please everyone. >> please no and >> you please no one, and then you everyone. that's you lose everyone. and that's what's going on there. listen, thank much to you. julie thank you so much to you. julie ford from bedfordshire. gareth thank you so much to you. julie fordjones bedfordshire. gareth thank you so much to you. julie ford jones bedenowdonia, reth thank you so much to you. julie fordjones bedenowdonia, jackie ben jones and snowdonia, jackie sampson from saint albans and david watford thank david bohm in watford. thank you so well listen stay so much. right. well listen stay tuned. up, cliff bates tuned. coming up, cliff bates and this time it's sadiq khan who's spotlight. and who's in the spotlight. and of course it'll be time for
