9:05 pm
virtuous thing to do for the reasons i'm about to outline today, it has emerged that despite welby pushing a green agenda, the church of england has been investing in water companies responsible for pumping into our rivers. pumping sewage into our rivers. and they are refusing to stop investing in them. the church said that it held £325,000 in water company shares , which water company shares, which could pay out a dividend , and could pay out a dividend, and about £30 million in bonds across the sector. this by the way, is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how dodgy the church of england and justin welby smells at the moment . the how we invest moment. the how we invest section on their website states the church commissioners manage a £io.3 the church commissioners manage a £10.3 billion investment fund in an ethical and responsible way. well, until very recently , way. well, until very recently, the church was investing with arms dealers and oil and gas giants. they have the audacity to use a picture of the idyllic countryside on their website. whilst they coin it in from the supposedly destructive and harmful including harmful industries, including pumping human faeces into the waterways . it might also
9:06 pm
waterways. it might also interest you to know that whilst the church of england sits on that £10 billion fund, members of the clergy were forced to demand a pay in to demand a pay rise in june to cope with cost of living cope with the cost of living crisis. wages, by way, crisis. their wages, by the way, largely come from public donations. oh get at donations. oh and get this at the trades union congress a few years ago, justin welby said zero hour contracts and companies like amazon paying little no tax are the little to no tax are the reincarnation of an ancient evil. well, it turned out two church of england cathedrals were advertising zero hours contracts and amazon was reportedly one of the church's biggest investments worldwide. today the metropolitan police announced that they believe that they found the body of they have found the body of abdul ezedi, the twice failed asylum notorious sex asylum seeker and notorious sex criminal who doused a woman and children with alkaline before jumping into the thames. he pretended to be to christian game the asylum system, although not specifically through the c of the church england . he has of the church of england. he has been of running a been accused of running a conveyor belt for illegal immigrants asylum immigrants to fake asylum claims. include claims. these include allegations of mass asylum seeker baptisms and members of
9:07 pm
the clergy vouching for illegal immigrants, one of whom blew himself outside a maternity himself up outside a maternity hospital . the hospital in liverpool. the church of england under justin church of england underjustin welby stands accused of coaching clergy to help fake asylum seekers concoct claims that allow them stay in britain. allow them to stay in britain. these asylum seekers are almost always from muslim countries and therefore by extension , the therefore by extension, the church of england finds itself in the bizarre position of being accused accelerating the accused of accelerating the islamification britain and islamification of britain and being fundamentally dishonest. at same time, claims the at the same time, claims the church denies all of this has taken place under the watchful eye of archbishop welby. but perhaps his greatest failure is the dwindling attendance figures at church, as the population of britain grows by millions of people, the number of people attending church is nosediving. in , weekly attendance in fact, weekly attendance figures were down . by 200,000 figures were down. by 200,000 people in 2022 to just 654,000. perhaps mr welby will take comfort in the knowledge that attendances at mosques around the country have risen. instead, if archbishop justin welby was
9:08 pm
in charge of a business, he would have been sacked and quite possibly put under investigation. if it is investigation. i wonder if it is time that that happened . we time that that happened. we approached the church of england for comment and they failed to get of course, not get back to us. of course, not everyone the church everyone in the church of england welby's england prescribes to welby's woke world. a former woke view of the world. a former chaplain of derbyshire's trent college, doctor randall , college, doctor bernard randall, appeared at the employment appeal tribunal earlier today after was sacked for after he was sacked for delivering a sermon that questioned gender ideology. unsurprisingly he was abandoned by the church of england. he's even found himself reported to the terrorist watchdog prevent . the terrorist watchdog prevent. i'm very pleased to say that doctor randall joins now. doctor randall joins me now. thank much. you thank you very much. could you just what just explain exactly what happened .7 happened to you, please? >> well, to cut a very long story short, i was the chaplain in a school, and a pupil asked me to preach on how come they were told they had to accept the lgbt stuff in a christian school? i thought that was a fair question. so i said ultimately, no, you don't have to accept anybody else's ideas. you make up your own minds and
9:09 pm
so on. topics like the marriage, being between a man and a woman, biological sex being real, gender identity , not making gender identity, not making perfect sense. therefore can't be entirely true. i said, you know, you may adopt the church's position on that and respect the people you disagree with, but you make up your own mind . um, you make up your own mind. um, for which, as you say, i was reported to prevent the anti—terror watchdog, um, secular authorities secular safeguarding authorities , the teaching regulation agency disclosure and barring service , disclosure and barring service, all of whom eventually cleared me. but i lost my job at the school, and that's why there's legal action ongoing. we had a heanng legal action ongoing. we had a hearing today, as you say, unfortunate . they decided they unfortunate. they decided they need to put the case off because there's another legal case touching on similar stuff going touching on similar stuff going to court of appeal in to the court of appeal in october. so they said we have to wait for that one. so i need to wait for that one. so i need to wait another before i can wait another year before i can even a date for the hearing even get a date for the hearing to hear my appeal . so by the to hear my appeal. so by the time it has been heard , um, time it has been heard, um, there's every possibility that
9:10 pm
we could be 6 or 7 years after the sermon for me to get justice. which which is a difficult time to go through . difficult time to go through. >> let us incredibly powerful sermon to be fair. um, what do you make of justin welby in his current role? i've obviously rattled off quite a few things there. i mean, you've had personal experience feeling personal experience of feeling quite your quite abandoned. what's your view well, view on his position? well, i he's doing a very difficult job. >> in fairness to him, my personal view is perhaps he's not doing the best job of it. i'll be diplomatic about it, shall we say, as regards my own situation , all the secular situation, all the secular safeguarding authorities have have cleared me entirely . but have cleared me entirely. but the church of england is ongoing with a safeguarding problem because i taught church of england teaching and a church of england teaching and a church of england school. they treat me as a safeguarding risk. justin welby has done nothing to help me. so if he's watching and maybe he is, you know, it's not too late to step in and help my situation . but fundamentally , he situation. but fundamentally, he gave a speech in between me
9:11 pm
giving my sermon and the story going public. a few years ago, he gave a speech talking about religious freedom and how important it is and vital in a in a modern society. and yet when it came to my story being told because in a sense, i'm on the wrong side of things as far as concerned, i guess. um, as he's concerned, i guess. um, not a not a word of support, not a whisper from anyone in the church of england's hierarchy. for saying you for someone simply saying you may church of may accept the church of england's own teaching and i can't quite see how he can square that in his own head. but he would have to answer to that himself. i guess. >> i mean, the irony that >> i mean, the irony is that though this is obviously through no your own, the church no fault of your own, the church of england has recently baptised no fault of your own, the church of englwho1as recently baptised no fault of your own, the church of englwho1as recentljonaptised no fault of your own, the church of englwho1as recentljon toised no fault of your own, the church of englwho1as recentljon to not people who have gone on to not just be referred to prevent, but actually acts actually commit acts of terrorism. meanwhile, you were referred to prevent for essentially, teaching essentially, uh, teaching christian . look, christian teaching. and look, thank much . i thank you very, very much. i know that was short and sweet, but i do hope to get you back on, and i hope that you feel heard for what you've said there. of course, there. that is, of course, doctor now doctor bernard randall, now a trent college spokesperson, has
9:12 pm
previously college is previously said trent college is an community where we an inclusive community where we are of commitment to are proud of our commitment to support of support the wellbeing of everyone. every single everyone. we want every single pupil and feel pupil to be safe and feel understood here. well, there we go. going the go. i'm going to get the thoughts of panel. we thoughts now of my panel. we have news presenter nana have got gb news presenter nana akua deputy chairman akua concerned deputy chairman jane daly mp and also author and broadcaster amy nicole turner. nana does archbishop justin welby need to be sacked? step down facing investigation. all of the above. all of the above. >> and surprised it's taken >> and i'm surprised it's taken them to even perhaps them so long to even perhaps even look at him in this way because was the one who because he he was the one who said rwanda against the said that rwanda was against the will and what is he will of god. and what is he talking in talking about? the church, in my view. went to a convent school view. i went to a convent school run was really deeply run by nuns. i was really deeply religious, philosophy run by nuns. i was really deeply religtheology, philosophy run by nuns. i was really deeply religtheology, and 3hilosophy run by nuns. i was really deeply religtheology, and i1ilosophy run by nuns. i was really deeply religtheology, and i cameihy run by nuns. i was really deeply religtheology, and i came out of and theology, and i came out of it thinking, what a con i that's it thinking, what a con! that's what i thought. gold leaf in the churches. it's so opulent, and it really doesn't surprise me that he has clearly vested interests in this pensions scenario, because obviously, a lot of the money these lot of the money from these water companies and from they've invested in water invested their money in water companies, their pension is in
9:13 pm
their i find it their. and i just find it astonishing that they complained about oil and gas investments and the church pulled their money from those investments. but for the water companies that was spewing a load of poo into the water, um, nothing. >> no, nothing at all. james i mean, you know, you're in a position to maybe raise it with the prime minister. do you think he calling on justin he should be calling on justin welby down? well, what i welby to step down? well, what i think from what think was very telling from what doctor is make up doctor randall said is make up your the most dangerous your mind the most dangerous words britain. give words in modern britain. give the to and them the facts to people and let them make not make up their mind. that's not what the modern leftist ideology is about. >> if you don't as we say, we >> if you don't do as we say, we are to intimidate you. are going to intimidate you. we're going do everything we we're going to do everything we possibly can to make you possibly can to make sure you pay possibly can to make sure you pay being, not buying pay for not being, not buying into view on life. i do into our our view on life. i do fear on occasion that justin welby is essentially trying to turn the church of england into a religious version of channel 4 news, really is extremely news, and it really is extremely unfortunate . you know, we need unfortunate. you know, we need to one of things, as nana to one of the things, as nana has in terms, say, the has said in terms, say, the rwanda words over rwanda debate, the words over the it's the years have been used. it's immoral. um, i think it's
9:14 pm
immoral. it's, um, i think it's ungodly, ungodly and evil. i mean, i dread to think if you are actually a member of the church of england and you think that this country should have robust border control goals, my god, you're actually the guy who's is calling you who's in charge is calling you immoral well, yeah. who's in charge is calling you imrif ral well, yeah. who's in charge is calling you imrif he well, yeah. who's in charge is calling you imrif he ranell, yeah. who's in charge is calling you imrif he ran a., yeah. who's in charge is calling you imrif he ran a business as well >> if he ran a business as well as he's running the church of england, would be england, he would be out of a job. you know, dwindling parish numbers. well as just numbers. i mean, as well as just the kind massive hamfest that the kind of massive hamfest that he's absolutely every he's made of. absolutely every single it seems. and single investment, it seems. and the hypocrisy, and the the hypocrisy, you know, and the reputational damage, don't reputational damage, i don't know, i think that he's know, i think it's that he's running people running a shop that people aren't the aren't interested in the products anymore. >> so it's kind like shop >> so it's kind of like a shop selling that people don't selling things that people don't necessarily selling things that people don't nec defining the product selling things that people don't necdefining the product is >> defining what the product is isn't >> defining what the product is isn'um, well, but the whole >> um, well, yeah. but the whole , increasingly , um, we're increasingly secular, aren't so i just secular, aren't we? so i just think it's not it's going to think it's not it's not going to be anyone to, to be easy for anyone to, to convince to join the convince people to join the church at this time in our history , we community. well, history, we community. well, that's a different subject. >> my goodness. coming in, um, obviously we're all going to be intellectually curious about different religions stuff, different religions and stuff, but everything but i think putting everything at the door of justin welby and

9:23 pm
£140,000, plus a further £30,000 for the artists fee. however, tory mayoral candidate susan hall has promised to force what she calls woke art to be moved to make sure that our late queen can have a statue that, of course, is if she's elected in may. so tonight asking which may. so tonight i'm asking which opfion may. so tonight i'm asking which option would you prefer to have as the statue on trafalgar square's fourth plinth? would you for queen elizabeth? you go for queen elizabeth? would go for the faces would you go for the faces of trans workers ? a bollywood trans sex workers? a bollywood themed cream van, or themed ice cream van, or a well—travelled sweet potato ? let well—travelled sweet potato? let me know your thoughts by emailing me gb views or gb news. com you can tweet me on gb news while there . and while you're there. go and vote in our poll . results to in our poll. the results to follow very shortly, but going head to head on this now, our historian rafe heydel—mankoo, an author and broadcaster jenny barnett ralph , is this not barnett, ralph, is this not absolute sacrilege ? absolute sacrilege? >> it is absolutely . >> it is absolutely. >> it is absolutely. >> you know, when they first announced the fourth plinth back in 1999, i was actually quite in favour of it because i knew that
9:24 pm
it would eventually be dedicated to her majesty. >> and i thought it would be a great and harmless fun way to bnng great and harmless fun way to bring art to the public. but instead of that, it's been it's been by, uh , by khan been captured by, uh, by khan and by also by mayor ken livingstone and used as a platform for divisive identity politics. uh, quite frankly, i think her majesty deserves to be on there . i'd like to see two on there. i'd like to see two statues of her majesty. actually, queen victoria has ten statues in london. i think her majesty deserves her rightful place in trafalgar square. but you know, she was every bit as great as queen victoria or great as. as queen victoria or albert. they've got a victorian memorial and albert memorial. memorial and an albert memorial. i we should also have i think we should also have a huge, elizabeth huge, stonking queen elizabeth memorial maybe park or memorial, maybe in hyde park or on mall on the opposite end on the mall on the opposite end of the memorial . but of the victoria memorial. but certainly we've known certainly we know we've known for time that it's for a long time that it's devoted and deserved at her majesty. take her rightful place as one greatest monarchs . as one of our greatest monarchs. >> jenny, why do we value trans sex workers over our arguably greatest ever monarch ? greatest ever monarch? >> uh, we value everybody , >> uh, we value everybody, patrick. we value whatever they
9:25 pm
are lgbt, black, white, brown, jewish, christian. and i think that what people have to look at, if the queen was still alive, she would be supportive of the arts. let us look at what that plinth has done over the years. we have looked at alison lapper with no arms and no legs. it taught us compassion. anthony gormley had over 2500 people standing on there, and it suddenly became a work of art that everybody knew about. it even got on to the archers. it introduced the first british black artist we had a great big blue cockerel, which was a symbol of regeneration , symbol of regeneration, awakening and strength, and i could go on, but i think that not everybody is royalist. there are nine statues to the queen and i don't think we need it in in trafalgar square. it is a place where people are subversive. it's always been a place where people will talk and discuss , and we are living in a
9:26 pm
discuss, and we are living in a multicultural society. whether people like it or not. >> and i get that. but lask linzer should remain subversive. >> yeah, but i'm sorry, but ralph, you know, trafalgar square is one of the greatest tourist attractions in this country . country. >> and i am convinced that people from japan, people from america , people from all over america, people from all over the world come to see a statue of our queen. and not a well—travelled sweet potato . well—travelled sweet potato. >> yeah, absolutely . right. >> yeah, absolutely. right. sweet potato . sweet potato. >> renee. >> renee. >> sorry. sorry and then go potato . to me. potato. to me. >> that's that potato to me. looks rather like an enlarged sheep dropping more than a potato, i have to say. but yes, sheep dropping more than a pmean,i have to say. but yes, sheep dropping more than a pmean, look, to say. but yes, sheep dropping more than a pmean, look, we say. but yes, sheep dropping more than a pmean, look, we haveiut yes, sheep dropping more than a pmean, look, we have to yes, sheep dropping more than a pmean, look, we have to realise i mean, look, we have to realise what's going on here. there's a clear by sadiq clear agenda at play by sadiq khan and by the fourth plinth commissioning group, the body that's tasked with that's actually tasked with selecting artworks and selecting these artworks and it's a body that is stacked with hugely divisive figures, of hugely divisive figures, some of whom disdain whom have shown utter disdain for the british and the london indigenous population . people

9:47 pm
expelled from the ecuadorian embassy , where he lived for embassy, where he lived for seven years, to avoid extradition to sweden. on rape charges. in june 2022, the then home secretary priti patel approved assange's extradition to the united states . a little to the united states. a little earlier today, i spoke to julian assange's lawyer, jennifer robinson, the wikileaks founder was too ill to attend court today , so i started by asking today, so i started by asking her about his health. >> well, obviously , the fact >> well, obviously, the fact that he couldn't even participate remotely to follow the proceedings today shows just the proceedings today shows just the toll that this long, drawn out proceedings. the toll that this long, drawn out proceedings . and being in out proceedings. and being in belmarsh prison belmarsh high security prison has on him and the prospect has had on him and the prospect and the being at the sharp end of this case and it would of this case and what it would mean him to be extradited to mean for him to be extradited to the united states. the toll that mean for him to be extradited to the having states. the toll that mean for him to be extradited to the having on|tes. the toll that mean for him to be extradited to the having on him the toll that it's having on him is a significant one. >> said in court today, then? >> so today, the court heard outside of the arguments, our arguments should arguments on why he should be given permission they given permission to appeal. they range about range from arguments about free speech fact that is speech and the fact that this is a the first time in history that a the first time in history that a being prosecuted a publisher is being prosecuted in for what is
9:48 pm
in the united states for what is journalistic we heard journalistic activity. we heard about the fact that julian shouldn't extradited because shouldn't be extradited because he's punished he's being punished and prosecuted for revealing evidence us criminality , us evidence of us criminality, us state heard state criminality. we heard evidence about the fact that the us could extend, potentially extend the death penalty him extend the death penalty to him if he was to be extradited to the states. and there's the united states. and there's been that would been no assurances that he would not subjected that. not be subjected to that. we also about the also heard evidence about the imbalance uk , us imbalance between the uk, us treaty the that it's treaty and the fact that it's prohibited extradited for prohibited to be extradited for a and they're a political offence, and they're seeking for seeking to prosecute him for a political offence. and we say that's not unlawful, but that's not just unlawful, but also an abuse of process. >> okay, i mean, he is allegedly responsible for the largest leaking of military intelligence. i think ever. and the stats that i have here, correct me if i'm wrong, is that around 90,000 classified us military documents in relation to the afghanistan war and about 400,000 confidential us files in relation to iraq , there has to relation to iraq, there has to be some consequences for that, isn't there? >> well, this is protected activity and this was part of our argument today. there's no evidence that anyone was harmed as result of these
9:49 pm
as a as a result of these publications. as you quite rightly point out, it's one of the us the largest leaks of us information in history. it's one of journalistic of the biggest journalistic scoops history . of the biggest journalistic scoops history. it's of the biggest journalistic scoops history . it's won scoops in history. it's won journalism awards the world over scoops in history. it's won j(julian sm awards the world over scoops in history. it's won j(julian himself ds the world over scoops in history. it's won j(julian himself and1e world over scoops in history. it's won j(julian himself and wikileaksver scoops in history. it's won j(julian himself and wikileaks .zr . julian himself and wikileaks. he's nominated for the he's been nominated for the nobel prize. the nobel peace prize. the consequences these consequences of these publications has been huge in terms of the evidence being used in the international criminal court, in the european of court, in the european court of human rights, holding governments account their governments to account for their crimes. so this this was a significant release , but this is significant release, but this is protected journalistic activity. no other journalist has protected journalistic activity. no otherjournalist has been no other journalist has been prosecuted in this way before , prosecuted in this way before, and none of the media partners of wikileaks also publish of wikileaks who also publish this are being this information are being prosecuted. this case is prosecuted. and this case is a dangerous one for journalists. and as we say, it's the first time in history and it's crossing a legal threshold that no ever no administration has ever crossed no administration has ever croryou do claim to have evidence >> you do claim to have evidence that there was a kidnap and an assassination attempt or plot. i should say, in relation to juuan. should say, in relation to julian . could you just expand on julian. could you just expand on that a little bit, please? so this was the result of yahoo news investigative reporting. >> uh, the story is , is that the
9:50 pm
>> uh, the story is, is that the cia directed by president cia as directed by president trump and under director of cia mike prepared plans mike pompeo, had prepared plans to kidnap and kill julian assange to kidnap him. >> is this whilst he was in britain on british territory? >> so while he was inside the ecuadorian embassy, there was a plan put together to kidnap and kill was evidence kill him. there was evidence that we had before the court of a whistleblower, a confidential witness was a whistleblower, a confidential wplan; was a whistleblower, a confidential wplan; poison was a whistleblower, a confidential wplan; poison him was a whistleblower, a confidential wplan; poison him while was a whistleblower, a confidential wplan; poison him while he s a plan to poison him while he was inside the embassy, this a plan to poison him while he w¢theiside the embassy, this a plan to poison him while he w¢theiside tiofembassy, this a plan to poison him while he w¢theiside tiof journalistic this is the result of journalistic investigation , was backed up by investigation, was backed up by 35 internal government 35 different internal government sources. and in when the sources. and in fact, when the material the investigation material when the investigation went live, mike pompeo said that people ought to be prosecuted for having revealed the information showing that it information in showing that it was information was classified information. so it it should be concerned it is it. it should be concerned to anyone that the cia would plot do that in country . plot to do that in this country. and that it shows the and we say that it shows the very nature of the very political nature of the case and the way in which the cia is going for him. and the concern that we have of the treatment that he will suffer. juuan treatment that he will suffer. julian assange, if he is extradited to united states extradited to the united states in circumstance cases. in these circumstance cases. >> true as well, that one
9:51 pm
>> is it true as well, that one of that you are of the things that you are trying to argue is he may trying to argue is that he may well end up taking his life well end up taking his own life as result of as he extradited as a result of his health? his mental health? >> fact, the accepted >> it is, in fact, the accepted medical evidence. so there was expert evidence before court expert evidence before the court in challenge, in the extradition challenge, which that because of his which showed that because of his particular health particular mental health picture, the depressive illness he because of many, he suffers because of the many, many persecution that many years of persecution that he's faced, his autistic diagnosis and the oppressive prison conditions he would face if extradited to the united states. he would be placed under special administrative measures, which described the which has been described as the darkest of the us darkest black hole of the us prison system. the combination of these factors would cause him to when you to commit suicide. so when you hear stella assange, hear his wife stella assange, talk this a matter of talk about this is a matter of life for julian, that life or death for julian, that is the accepted medical evidence in courts country. in the courts of this country. and only reason the home and the only reason the home secretary him, secretary is extraditing him, because a because the us gave a conditional saying , conditional assurance, saying, don't worry, won't put him in don't worry, we won't put him in those prison conditions. and as amnesty international says, it's not paper. it's not worth the paper. it's written why? written on why? >> why not? why is that assurance worth the papers? assurance not worth the papers? >> are numerous >> there are numerous cases where where us has
9:52 pm
where we've seen where us has offered assurances offered diplomatic assurances about the protection of prisoners, been prisoners, which have not been respected. case, respected. and in this case, it's full assurance. it's not even a full assurance. it's what it's conditional. and what does that julian assange that mean? if julian assange wants extradited to the united states, the states, does anything that the intelligence services does decide placing him decide justifies placing him under sams, we can't challenge that legally. so you're allowing the intelligence services which plotted to kill him, the ability to place him in prison conditions that the medical evidence shows would cause his death can why, as his death. you can see why, as his lawyers were concerned about that prospect, i can't absolutely that. absolutely see that. >> also though, that >> i can also see, though, that as as the american as far as the american government they government is concerned, they are or were acting in a theatre of war and somebody has sought to undermine that. i mean , to undermine that. i mean, essentially they would view him as an enemy of the united states of america and would look to treat as such. treat him as such. >> he's enemy of the >> he's not an enemy of the united he's a journalist united states. he's a journalist and a publisher who received information source. it information from a source. it may who provided may look the source who provided the information to wikileaks. the source has already the alleged source has already faced prosecution united faced prosecution in the united states was in fact had their states and was in fact had their sentence commuted. and it has
9:53 pm

10:05 pm
mps in their sights now. these include shadow foreign sukh david lammy, shadow health secretary wes streeting and shadow justice secretary shabana mahmood. the government or the movement, i should say, began after the so—called party of islam was rejected by the electoral commission , although electoral commission, although this may simply be a coincidence. gb news can reveal that mohammed jalal changed his name from jalaluddin patel and that he was the leader of the uk wing of the now banned terrorist organisation hizb ut—tahrir. between the years of 2000 and two thousand and seven. he was the leader of the group when the seven over seven bombings took place in 2005, and when then prime minister tony blair said he wanted the group to be banned, he has called for a global islamic state, saying in 2004, muslims are acknowledging more and more that the governments of america and the west are enemies of islam and do not to see them prosper. not wish to see them prosper. the for the established of the call for the established of a global islamic state holds currency in almost every city in
10:06 pm
the muslim world, he added. plans are being made east and west for this muslim world. mr jalal has appeared in the past to want to topple our current society and replace it with an islamic one, he told a hizb ut—tahrir conference in two thousand and seven. we from hizb ut—tahrir believe passionately that true liberation will come to the muslim world when we dispense with these ruling elites and these western inspired systems , and in their inspired systems, and in their place we establish islam through state and society . it may well state and society. it may well be concerning for people to learn then, that mrjalal learn then, that mr jalal tweeted in december, i am pleased to announce a project we've been working on a united group of organisations have come together and launched the muslim vote. the website states that it has significant financial and legal resources , and provides legal resources, and provides a list of target seats , displaying list of target seats, displaying how the local mp voted in relation to the gaza ceasefire and the percentage of muslims
10:07 pm
living in that constituency . mr living in that constituency. mr jalal does not appear to want integration between muslims and wider society, and doesn't appear to think peaceful cooperation is possible until the british government outlines a contract with the muslim community. he is quoted in the guardian as saying the whole discussion of integration is a front for coercive assimilation , front for coercive assimilation, and no more than an assertion of western values as being superior . the first step for community cohesion is for there to be an open debate about the nature of a contract between the government and the muslim community. the government has not clearly spelled out what the terms of this relationship should be. in order to facilitate acceptance and peaceful coexistence , mr jalal peaceful coexistence, mr jalal describes himself as a political scientist, and his reported developing a course for the sapiens institute, founded by an individual called mohamed hijab , individual called mohamed hijab, who has been accused of anti—semitism and stirring up hate claims. he no doubt denies. this is mohamed hijab, however ,
10:08 pm
this is mohamed hijab, however, when the when those zionists came in with their dogs, that was an that was an act of provocation. >> so what we're saying now, and i'm making it very clear so everyone if those everyone understands if those dogs close to us again, we dogs come close to us again, we will an act of will see it as an act of aggression. and we will kill those . those dogs. >> has since tried to >> mr jalal has since tried to distance himself from his involvement with the muslim vote, only vote, saying he has only collected data the collected data for the organisation. gb news has approached mrjalal and the approached mr jalal and the muslim .co.uk on several muslim vote .co.uk on several occasions. we have asked for clarification as to what is meant by quotes muslim issues. we have asked who funds the group and who is affiliated with it. we have not yet received any response. have also asked mr response. we have also asked mr jalal directly if he would like to clarify any of the points made in this report, and we have ianed made in this report, and we have invited him on the show that invited him on the show that invite still stands now. it is obviously for each individual watching or listening to this broadcast. now to make their own minds up as to whether they think this is all above board and fine in a democratic
10:09 pm
society, or whether or not there is a concerted and shady attempt to infiltrate british politics and society from a group of seemingly hardline radicals with extreme views . as mohammed jalal extreme views. as mohammed jalal claimed to the mail on sunday that he only helped the muslim vote with data collection, and he denied being its founder. he also said he was no longer a member of hizb ut—tahrir and addedi member of hizb ut—tahrir and added i am neither affiliated with the muslim vote campaign nor organiser. i certainly nor an organiser. i certainly value to hold value their efforts to hold advocates genocide to account value their efforts to hold adv
10:10 pm
islamists. >> well, i think you're spot on. i thought your modelling was very good. i think the problem with is that many of the with this is that many of the muslims come from the regimes that they have in their country, so a lot of the regimes in other muslim countries are political, religious , totalitarian regimes religious, totalitarian regimes or if you look at saudi arabia is actually an islamic theocracy. and that simply means that other . lesser minority that other. lesser minority religions cannot be practised openly. so islam is the religion there now, i think that despite there now, i think that despite the fact that a lot of the muslims come from places like this, where this is the regime, they know our system is a democracy and of course they're weaponizing our democracy against us. that's how i see it. it's a numbers game, which is why, course , the suggestion why, of course, the suggestion that should try and take 55 that they should try and take 55 of the seats from the mps who called for a ceasefire or abstained from voting for one. and i see that as a concern, because if you . think of there's because if you. think of there's 650 mp5, 55 of because if you. think of there's 650 mps, 55 of those, that's about 8 or 9% are round about
10:11 pm
there. that is that is almost capturing our political system. and there are others. so for example, there are 31 marginal seats , and those seats could be seats, and those seats could be defining seats. >> i mean, it could have a massive bearing at the next election . election. >> and also just going forward politically in this country. james, you know, i've got to ask you, be concerned about you, you must be concerned about this politician. well well, this as a politician. well well, i suspect i'm one of those 55 mps. >> i a mps. »| mps. >> i a majority of 105. >> i have a majority of 105. i have about 14,000 muslim constituents . um, right. i have about 14,000 muslim constituents. um, right. i think that i'm unbelievably concerned by some of the things he's just said. he's just used the phrase on there advocates of genocide . on there advocates of genocide. let me put it this way. if he's equating that with any member of parliament from any political party, be deeply, party, he should be deeply, deeply himself. deeply ashamed of himself. i think it's so important to say that tomorrow, whatever happens in that vote that's put forward by the snp , not one person in by the snp, not one person in parliament, not one, is advocating for genocide . every advocating for genocide. every single person wants to see peace in the middle east. and anybody who suggests and puts that motivation against any member of
10:12 pm
parliament, that it is scandalous. and the problem, patrick, is when you say about the dangers of this type of language, dangers language, the dangers are that this to threats this leads to threats and intimidation the intimidation against mps in the family. we saw against family. what we saw against pat, sorry, ellwood , was it sorry, tobias ellwood, was it last week, 350 people outside his house while the police just watched with his two sons in there? that's what this type of language leads to. >> amy are concerned >> amy are you not concerned that have quite that we appear to have quite a shady group who, you know, have had some involvement had at least some involvement with who has with an individual who has called for a global islamic state, who . led for seven years, state, who. led for seven years, a now banned terrorist organisation and clearly doesn't believe in integration? is that is that not a problem ? is that not a problem? >> it sounds like a problem. >> it sounds like a problem. >> it sounds like a problem. >> it definitely sounds like a problem when you put it like that. but when you look at what the muslim vote is, it's just a tool see the way politicians tool to see the way politicians are voting. tool to see the way politicians are right?. tool to see the way politicians are and t?. shared it. >> and this guy shared it. that's really know at that's all we really know at this stage, isn't it? it's not it's party. it's not a political party. >> have any power. >> islam was rejected. the muslim electoral vote.
10:13 pm
>> really just directing >> so really it's just directing people feel like people like muslims do feel like their has been for their vote has been taken for granted and a valid granted. and that's a valid concern that they have at the moment. so is a way to just moment. so this is a way to just see how their primary concern, which moment is gaza a which at the moment is gaza to a lot but i wouldn't lot of people, but i wouldn't want talk about them as want to talk about them as they're a homogenous group anyway. >> what >> but what about it's just venting frustration about venting that frustration about gaza and looking at it? >> says also quote, >> well, it says also quote, some issues, right? >> yeah. and we have gone repeatedly to the muslim .co.uk to ask them what they mean by that. ask them who their funding is, ask them what they are planning on doing . they have planning on doing. they have said on their website that anyone wants stand, they anyone who wants to stand, they will help them with resources . will help them with resources. those include legal resources , those include legal resources, uh, etc. and if one of the individuals who may have been involved in the setup of that was the leader of a now banned terrorist organisation, nana, i would raise serious concerns over who else is involved in it. >> well, i mean, it's i'm concerned about it anyway. i don't like the it feels like there's an undertone there. it is clear to me that this is
10:14 pm
almost it feels like they're trying to capture the political system to it. and i think that the ends are that ultimately, i know it sounds extreme, and you may that, but i do think may think that, but i do think that is feeling that that there is a feeling that this country could become a muslim country if it carries on in this way. i mean, are you not worried that all? do worried about that at all? do you not because you ipp if this country muslim issues are typically only a problems with the structure , viral the structure, viral islamophobia seems to be islamophobia that seems to be within this country, which you can see all around, is that what you're saying there? >> so muslim citizens in the uk have more likely chance of being unemployed. >> for example , just quickly say >> for example, just quickly say that brother that that the brother of that individual there has been run thing and helping out. >> uh, going to schools saying that homosexuality is a sin , an that homosexuality is a sin, an lgbt issue shouldn't be taught to children. i know that's something that you feel very strongly about. >> what are you trying to insinuate that i'm just wondering how you feel about that. how i feel about a
10:15 pm
individual espousing homophobic beliefs that, well, obviously i'd be completely against that. but i'm saying kind of what this stuff is, right? but how? >> well, because this is almost like ideology meeting like your ideology meeting another radical ideology. i think my not really compatible , think my not really compatible, are they? >> what is coexisting together? >> is it not. it's not is it? would you not would you not respect the 4 million uk muslims who are constant? accused who are constant? ali, accused of sorts of things. and this of all sorts of things. and this whole conversation has like a slight of, of just, um, slight overtone of, of just, um, and misunderstanding what it is to be. islam is it not like we have a, we have a religious freedom in this country. they couldn't have be practising islam. you can be a practising christian to the extreme elements of it, which are on show. >> right? i think i don't think that's particularly compatible with a of liberal with a lot of western liberal values. it including your values. is it including your own, i daresay? >> possibly not, and >> well, no. possibly not, and i'm not. i i don't know, i completely james, i'll give you a final word to you on this. >> apparently. uh apparently you are on the muslim .co.uk are on the muslim vote. .co.uk website . good know .

10:22 pm
tonight. we're on gb news. now look, tomorrow's newspaper front pages are coming in very , very pages are coming in very, very soon. but first, this is huge . soon. but first, this is huge. so the labour leader, sir keir starmer, has called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in gaza ahead of this vote on the matter in parliament tomorrow. speaking this afternoon , shadow foreign afternoon, shadow foreign secretary outlined secretary david lammy outlined labour's new position a humanitarian ceasefire that's immediate requires both sides to lay down their arms and we're really clear about that. >> it requires those hostages to be returned and we're absolutely clear about that now. >> you know , because it's not >> you know, because it's not quite as simple as that. okay so reports tonight suggest that keir starmer will tell his party to abstain on the snp's motion calling for a ceasefire in gaza. so scottish national party in westminster have backed labour into a corner big time by putting forward a motion to, say, an immediate ceasefire in gaza. now now a sizeable number of labour mps are preparing to
10:23 pm
ignore keir starmer and just vote with the snp. they may well include members of his frontbench . i'm joined now by frontbench. i'm joined now by the author and podcaster constantine in kissin constantine. thank you very much. keir starmer is in massive trouble here, isn't he? well the funny thing about this is, is it shows that, you know, decisive leadership is getting your mps to abstain on a vote . to abstain on a vote. >> and, uh, actually, you know, people always talk about a u—turn as a bad thing. i generally don't, uh, always feel that way. i think it's for that way. i think it's good for politicians to change their mind. politicians mind. it's good for politicians to things that they to change the things that they advocate for based on facts advocate for based on the facts and evidence , and being and the evidence, and being presented with an evolving view of things. but of course, we know that with keir starmer, that isn't the case. he, uh, didn't know what a woman was for quite and then quite a long time. and then suddenly discovered truth suddenly he discovered the truth about this difficult to adjudicate issue. and it wasn't because he was confronted with new facts or new information, but uh, spineless as he but because, uh, spineless as he is, he was pressured into it,
10:24 pm
uh, by people criticising him over it. and likewise, in this instance , uh, he knows what the instance, uh, he knows what the right thing to do and right thing to do is, and we should him some credit. should give him some credit. patrick when he became leader of the , attempted the labour party, he attempted to party of the to purge the party of the anti—semitic left . he anti—semitic corbynista left. he got rid of a few people that needed getting rid of. what he's got now is, uh, he's between a rock and a hard place, because on hand, he knows what on the one hand, he knows what the right thing to do here is. which course, you want which is, of course, if you want a and if you want to a ceasefire and if you want to call something call for one, that's something i actually have to actually support. you have to call to hand over the call on hamas to hand over the hostages and hand the hostages and hand over the terrorists who took them, to terrorists who took them, and to lay the weapons and to lay down the weapons and to commit being terrorists commit to not being terrorists anymore. um or he has to pander to the people who simply are kind of, uh, stop the world. i want to get off in his own party. who wants to call for a ceasefire? not because they think it's going to achieve anything, because what anything, but because what they're , as you well know, they're doing, as you well know, because were discussing it because you were discussing it before the program, is before i came on the program, is that part of that pandering to the part of their , uh, who simply want their vote, uh, who simply want to an issue out of this?
10:25 pm
to make an issue out of this? and frankly, uh, you got to take a step back here, patrick, and look fact that we're all look at the fact that we're all spending an inordinate amount of time talking a conflict time talking about a conflict very, away . and it very, very far away. and it seems to be at the top of the list of priorities for a party that's supposed to represent the british people, not a very small minority people to minority of people who seem to care much as care about this issue as much as they do. >> yeah, it's clearly top of the list actually quite a list for actually quite a large percentage worryingly percentage of worryingly large percentage, of percentage, if you ask me, of our population who care more about what's about gaza maybe, than what's going their area. going on in their local area. so just to clarify, this is just to clarify, and this is been picture been a moving picture in the last so keir last couple of hours. so keir starmer appears to have been outflanked from both sides on this has this now. so the government has tabled to tabled an amendment to this ceasefire vote tomorrow in which they for they are calling for negotiations for an immediate humanitare pause, followed by a permanent, sustainable ceasefire. it's all just this kind word right? kind of word salad, right? so obviously starmer can't tell his mps vote for that. mps to vote for that. simultaneously, tell simultaneously, he can't tell his mps to vote for the snp, one which is a complete, total, utter ceasefire. so utter immediate ceasefire. so now he is saying to his mps , now he is saying to his mps, please just abstain. but his mps
10:26 pm
are getting absolutely hounded out of town everywhere they go at the moment. there's posters going saying you're complicit going up saying you're complicit with genocide, your with genocide, blood on your hands, etc. etc. i mean, he can't continue like this. i mean, he literally cannot just tell them to say nothing. surely they're going to vote. they're going to vote one way or the other, and shows, other, and what it shows, patrick, is something that many of saying for a of us have been saying for a long you play long time, which is if you play with thing, you going with that thing, you are going to blind. to go blind. >> thing that they have >> and the thing that they have been playing is identity been playing with is identity politics, people to politics, encouraging people to vote with their religion or with their ethnicity or their their ethnicity or with their racial saying racial group, instead of saying to look , we're all british to them, look, we're all british and going to vote for the and we're going to vote for the parties that represent our parties that best represent our interests terms of the interests in terms of the economy, terms of local economy, in terms of local services , in terms of the services, in terms of the national health service, in terms want on terms of the policy we want on tax the services. tax and the armed services. instead, saying to instead, they've been saying to people, you are this ethnic group you are this ethnic group or you are this ethnic religion or this religious group or whatever , and you need to or whatever, and you need to vote because we are the vote for us because we are the people who stand up for people with or with
10:27 pm
with your skin colour or with your belief system. and now , now your belief system. and now, now they are finding out that when you play with that thing, you end up in a very bad position where well, where people say to you, well, you us that you were where people say to you, well, you advocate us that you were where people say to you, well, you advocate for that you were where people say to you, well, you advocate for ourt you were where people say to you, well, you advocate for our particular the advocate for our particular niche worldview. uh, you better deliver. and that's why they're getting . and why getting hounded. and that's why keir position keir starmer is in a position when, course, simply when, of course, he simply cannot tell the truth, because the truth is unpalatable to both sides of his party. >> it will be fascinating to see this tomorrow we will know this time tomorrow we will know probably actually, many probably actually, how many labour decided to go against labour mps decided to go against sir keir starmer and decided to vote instead of abstain , and vote instead of abstain, and what that will mean for him? keep an eye on his frontbench. i mean, this could be massive but look constant just to move things slightly . starmer things on slightly. lee starmer has his has perhaps performed his fastest yet. all right , fastest u—turn yet. all right, so this time it was over. his chief of staff, grey's, chief of staff, sue grey's, plans create citizen's plans to create a citizen's assembly a series of them to assembly or a series of them to scrutinise new laws. she announced the scheme in an interview yesterday, but less than 12 hours later, labour officials insisted it was not an
10:28 pm
officials insisted it was not an official policy . what you're official policy. what you're seeing on your screens, there is the two headlines, okay, sue gray announces citizen juries that will bypass whitehall and then there we go next to it. labour backtracks on the just a few hours apart there. konstantin is sue gray, fast becoming a liability for labour, do you think a lack of consistency . what do you make of consistency. what do you make of it all? >> you know, actually am a big >> you know, i actually am a big fan the idea of citizen fan of the idea of citizen assembly, so i'm not, uh, i'm not particularly critical of them to it, them attempting to pursue it, but like every time but it does seem like every time they a policy , they go they suggest a policy, they go back it quickly and back on it very quickly and again, to be clear again, we've got to be clear here, patrick. not as if here, patrick. it's not as if they confronted with new they were confronted with new information about the benefits they were confronted with new infotherwise about the benefits they were confronted with new infotherwise ofyut the benefits they were confronted with new infotherwise of citizensenefits or otherwise of citizens assembly. this is about people politicking over this and being scared to go with the thing that they actually know they need to do, or with a policy that someone suggested. so it just shows you, uh, two things. the first of is we have first of them is we have politicians who are utterly spineless. true , of spineless. this is true, of course, on the other side of the house of commons, too. and the other of course, is that
10:29 pm
other thing, of course, is that despite all i'm afraid despite all of this, i'm afraid when the election comes, when the next election comes, the labour party is still almost certainly the certainly going to defeat the conservative party because the conservative party because the conservative is even more conservative party is even more useless. so it's not a great place. uh, in and time in british politics at the moment . british politics at the moment. >> no, indeed. now, look, finally , culture secretary lucy finally, culture secretary lucy frazer has taken aim at theatres and trigger warnings to shakespeare's plays . they're shakespeare's plays. they're warning that audiences should not be treated like children. now, her intervention came just weeks after the legendary british ralph british actor ralph fiennes called to stop using called on theatres to stop using the warnings. he had this to say i think the impact of theatre should that shocked should be that you're shocked and disturbed , and and you should be disturbed, and i you should be for i don't think you should be for prepared things. prepared these things. >> young, i never >> and when i was young, i never we had trigger warnings we never had trigger warnings for shows. >> would you rid of them >> so would you get rid of them then? >> t- t yew w— >> i would, yes, i would a trigger warnings on shakespeare constantly. >> are we a bit too soft these days? what do you make of it? >> shock horror man speaks sense on television. uh well, i mean, you know what we talk about this issue much, don't even know
10:30 pm
issue so much, i don't even know what to add, really. we all what else to add, really. we all know this is complete nonsense. we that adults are we all know that adults are failing young people and children by training them to think in this way. we all know. by think in this way. we all know. by patrick, as well by the way, patrick, as you well do, that the evidence on this is very clear . when give very clear. when you give people trigger warnings, they're much more by the more likely to be hurt by the things that they actually then see and listen, listen to. see and listen, uh, listen to. so, course we shouldn't see and listen, uh, listen to. so,doing course we shouldn't see and listen, uh, listen to. so,doing this. �*se we shouldn't see and listen, uh, listen to. so,doing this. it'sne shouldn't see and listen, uh, listen to. so,doing this. it's a shouldn't see and listen, uh, listen to. so,doing this. it's a complete: be doing this. it's a complete waste ralph i'm waste of time. ralph fiennes i'm glad adding his voice , uh, glad he's adding his voice, uh, to conversation. we've got to this conversation. we've got to this conversation. we've got to make children and young people resilient, not fragile. just uh, just to add one more question on to this. >> now, do you think there's going to be pushback or do going to be some pushback or do you you expect there's you do you expect that there's going resistance, going to be some resistance, some some some rebellion to this at some point, that will point, that there will be a generation comes very generation that comes up very soon goes, look , screw all soon that goes, look, screw all of this nonsense . you know, i'm of this nonsense. you know, i'm just going to do my own thing. i mean, are we are we do that. i'd love to see it. >> well, with gen z, i think we are starting see that, uh, are starting to see that, uh, there is gender the there is a gender split. the young very woke. young women are very, very woke. and men are almost and the young men are almost worryingly not woke to the point
10:31 pm
where you, you sort of think, worryingly not woke to the point where whoa,ou sort of think, worryingly not woke to the point where whoa, we'ret of think, worryingly not woke to the point where whoa, we're going ink, worryingly not woke to the point where whoa, we're going a k, worryingly not woke to the point where whoa, we're going a bit whoa, whoa, we're going a bit far which always the far here, which was always the worry. know, every action worry. you know, every action has and opposite has an equal and opposite reaction pushing this reaction. the pushing of this nonsense has been so strong and so powerful for such a long time. it's inevitable that people will be pushing back against i hope that against it and i just hope that we harness those energies we can harness those energies into healthy and into things that are healthy and productive. uh, teaching young people to strong, confident people to be strong, confident and resilient as opposed to simply going out there to offend, to troll people , which offend, to troll people, which we don't want because that isn't the recipe for a healthy society ehhen the recipe for a healthy society either. yes, should have the either. yes, we should have the right offend whether right to offend whether we should that should actually be doing that for sake is a whole for the sake of it is a whole different question. for the sake of it is a whole diff konstantin, on. you very >> konstantin, thank you very much. congratulate you much. and can i congratulate you as on reaching a bit of as well on reaching a bit of a milestone, i think, in your, uh , milestone, i think, in your, uh, uh, in your other life as a podcaster and, uh, trigonometry and all of that as well. how many subscribers have you managed to get now? >> well, trigonometry is fast approaching a million, but actually the milestone i had this my substack has this week is my substack has now reached subscribers . reached 40,000, uh, subscribers. and two a half of them give

10:36 pm
was ditched . okay. all right, was ditched. okay. all right, um, let's go to the independent. william wades in. look, just a trigger warning of your own here. now, this is leading the majority of the newspapers tomorrow it is prince william wading in. too many have been killed in gaza . the prince says killed in gaza. the prince says that the conflict must end as soon as possible. uh, it's also on the daily mail. uh, he's well intentioned , but i fear that intentioned, but i fear that he's heading for dangerous under unchartered waters. this is in relation to prince william's intervention . william. too many intervention. william. too many have died in gaza conflict that we go to the daily telegraph again. william. fighting in gaza must be brought to an end. well, i'm joined again by my wonderful panel this evening. we do , of panel this evening. we do, of course, have gb news star nana akua. we also have conservative deputy party chairman james daly mp and author and broadcaster amy nicholson . nana is prince amy nicholson. nana is prince william wrong to wade in? >> william, why ? look, i you >> oh, william, why? look, i you know, i love prince william. he recently won the most popular man in the world. i mean, i
10:37 pm
think that was before he opened his mouth on this look, at least he mentioned the hostages because a lot of people start talking about many being killed and only seem to refer to the conflict that is happening and the deaths in gaza. but i just feel that he should learn a lesson. his dad kept wading in on things and people got sick of his dad doing it, and i just think william william , i'm think william william, i'm talking to you now. william. why i respect you. i love you, i think you're amazing. but but the conflict in gaza is really, really complex . and one, it's a really complex. and one, it's a bit like his starmer saying something in the end , you end up something in the end, you end up isolating certain people and i just think, william, just butt out. well critics, including our very own nigel farage, have suggested that our future king should out fraught should stay out of this fraught political discussion. >> james, your your view that ? >> well, 7 >> well, what ? >> well, what nigel says . well, >> well, what nigel says. well, yeah. well, let me put it this way, patrick. i think i think prince william is a man. i prince william is a great man. i think a national treasure. think he's a national treasure. i think he's somebody we should all think are all all treasure. i think we are all
10:38 pm
rush , all the time to criticise rush, all the time to criticise what he said is hardly revolutionary stuff . he said revolutionary stuff. he said that too many people have died in conflict, too many in the conflict, and too many people died in conflict people have died in the conflict . saying anything . he's not saying anything that's think that's out of kilter. i think with the political, the with all the political, the policies main political policies of the main political parties you parties in this country, you know, there's a i think there's parties in this country, you k|constitutional| think there's parties in this country, you k|constitutional if hink there's parties in this country, you k|constitutional if you there's parties in this country, you k|constitutional if you get re's a constitutional if you get bonng a constitutional if you get boring constitutional issue about politics. about keeping out of politics. but he's a good man. he's trying his standing in for his best. he's standing in for the king through very difficult times . so i the king through very difficult times. so i think we should all be as be getting behind him as a country, criticising for country, not criticising him for putting forward based putting forward a view based upon empathy compassion . upon empathy and compassion. >> if we just have a >> i mean, if we just have a look at what he's actually said, he says many people have he says too many people have been i think everyone been killed. i think everyone can right um, can agree with that. right um, he even in the darkest he says that even in the darkest houn he says that even in the darkest hour, must succumb to the hour, we must not succumb to the council despair. i continue council of despair. i continue to hope that to cling to the hope that a brighter be found. i brighter future can be found. i refuse up on that. refuse to give up on that. i mean , basically, he said, quite mean, basically, he said, quite a lot of nice things without saying lot . but he's also saying a lot. but he's also shown, i suppose , general shown, i suppose, general compassion on a major international issue. i suppose it's all right, international issue. i suppose it's all right , amy, international issue. i suppose it's all right, amy, isn't international issue. i suppose it's all right , amy, isn't it? it's all right, amy, isn't it? yeah.
10:39 pm
>> and he's pretty in step with both government the both the government and the public. i so much so that public. i feel so much so that this is bit a wielding of this is a bit of a wielding of soft power for, and it could have been by the have even been penned by the foreign um foreign secretary. um >> you think? >> ah. do you think? >> ah. do you think? >> it's pretty perfect. >> well, it's pretty perfect. pretty on. and very. diana. pretty spot on. and very. diana. i thought less so. the queen, who had to speak through her hats. >> yeah, right. this is it is bold for him to come out. >> and you disagree? >> and you disagree? >> no no no no no, because it's really nuanced the situation. i mean, you heard when keir starmer alluded to israel being able defend itself and if you able to defend itself and if you know and it sounded like people interpreted what he was saying, that he was agreeing to cut off all the power and it wasn't, but it was misinterpreted and pulled out. i think that's the out. and i think that's the problem. not what he said. problem. it's not what he said. it's the fact that he's saying it so needs to just butt it. so he needs to just butt back out. >> just spent a load of time with the red cross. and i think the he saw when he the images that he saw when he was that could could i ask was on that could i, could i ask you a that informed you as a that is informed opinion, isn't it. >> do you think there's any chance intervention chance that this intervention from i mean, from prince william, i mean,
10:40 pm
does any bearing on does this have any bearing on where government it where the government is when it comes to this at all? >> i don't think he does. i think that william has think that prince william has put mean , patrick, put forward i mean, patrick, you've you've just said you've just you've just said the point view. he said things point of view. he said things which are controversial. i which are not controversial. i don't think they are controversial. are. controversial. perhaps they are. nigel find them nigel farage seems to find them controversial. i think it reflects well on the man who's going to be the king of this country. i it reflects country. i think it reflects well on the confidence we all have terms of the have of him in terms of the dufies have of him in terms of the duties doing. and duties that he's doing. and listen, i always tempted. listen, i am always tempted. i'm the have a go at the most i i'll have a go at anybody or say anything because that's nature that's probably the nature of my being who but this being who i am, but not this 9”!!- being who i am, but not this guy. trying his best in. guy. he's trying his best in. >> to ask. >> very difficult to just ask. there vote tomorrow, there is a vote tomorrow, obviously, i'm trying to obviously, and i'm not trying to put the spot too much put you on the spot too much here at all, but i mean, how are you going to vote tomorrow? do you going to vote tomorrow? do you you i'm going you going to vote tomorrow? do yo be you i'm going you going to vote tomorrow? do yo be absolutely! i'm going you going to vote tomorrow? do yo be absolutely honest i'm going you going to vote tomorrow? do yo be absolutely honest with|oing you going to vote tomorrow? do yo be absolutely honest with you| to be absolutely honest with you that um, party yet that we, um, the party have yet to, give a give a party view to, um, give a give a party view in respect of what now? >> well, two amendments and one main motion. so i will listen to the arguments tomorrow to, um, make the vote. but as it will all mps. patrick, i have to say
10:41 pm
this again. all mps will make that decision on the basis of good and honourable intentions. and every single one, every single mp in the house of commons, bar none, agrees with prince william. >> all right. i think i think the government has put forward something a humanitarian something about a humanitarian pause. something about a humanitarian pause . this is what they're pause. this is what they're after. so presumably , i think, after. so presumably, i think, humanitarian pause. >> why don't listen? >> why don't listen? >> could all over if they >> it could all be over if they just the hostages. why just release the hostages. why don't that? i agree with don't they do that? i agree with that. very well. you're that. it's all very well. you're saying isn't saying humanitarian pause, isn't it? you're missing one it? i think you're missing one of issue. of the issues. the main issue. and has said release the and israel has said release the hostages. stop . we hostages. this will stop. we will will stop. so it's not will we will stop. so it's not just israel, it is hamas i agree with agree wholeheartedly with with i agree wholeheartedly with hostages , boyle. hostages, boyle. >> reading between the >> i mean, reading between the lines haven't lines and the whips haven't contacted but the of contacted us, but the sounds of things. there go. after things. so there we go. after after see. but look, um after wait and see. but look, um , a bit of shift into. we have , a bit of a shift into. we have got lots of quite heavy topics tonight. scientists have tonight. so scientists have made a breakthrough discovery that could men could prove controversial. men and women's brains do work differently . researchers at differently. researchers at stanford university found that
10:42 pm
women tend to be better at reading comprehension and writing ability , on average, and writing ability, on average, and have good, long time memory. okay, whereas men reportedly have stronger visual and spatial awareness and better working memory . do not shoot the memory. do not shoot the messenger, okay, these findings could disprove academics who previously thought that society rather than biology, were more crucial in determining our behaviour. are you buying this though? well, i ventured onto the streets of britain to get your views and this is what i found. well, i think sometimes women tend to think, uh, to overthink things. >> and men are more, uh, on point . point. >> i think women take more nofice >> i think women take more notice of what goes on around them and what men say , and men them and what men say, and men put their feet in first, and women possibly are more careful. >> it's said that women are more empathetic and emotionally intelligent. men are apparently don't shoot the messenger here, apparently better at things like physics and the sciences . oh physics and the sciences. oh that's fine. >> yeah, there's got to be a place for everybody.
10:43 pm
>> so i'm very i'm very good at typing. i think that's. >> yeah. so there we go. they certainly weren't buying it. i mean, do you notice any differences between the male and the female brain? amy >> um, well, yes , but these are >> um, well, yes, but these are averages aren't they? averages. yes and it is a slightly, but what better your what are you better in your partner? uh, what am i the partner? um. uh, what am i the best at? well, actually, no, we've of swapped roles we've kind of swapped roles because the mum because we say he's the mum because we say he's the mum because he's super organised. he's much tidier. he's. yeah. he, um. and i'm just like the typical sort of lazy dad james, dare i ask? >> i've absolutely no idea. >> i've absolutely no idea. >> and i have no idea what you've just said either that they listen at the end of the day, as know, i am a day, as you know, i am a passionate believer in equality and therefore in that ilk , we're and therefore in that ilk, we're all the same and we're all, you know, things about know, one of the things about this well , let me, me, this one, well, let me, let me, let about this right. one let me put about this right. one of the things about this country, is never is country, which is never which is neven on country, which is never which is never, on what never, ever discussed on what matters size your matters is whatever size your brain small or brain is, whether it's small or big it's about big or whatever. it's about talent. you
10:44 pm
talent. it's about what you think and what you are. so having discussion about what think and what you are. so havirand discussion about what think and what you are. so havirand women on about what think and what you are. so havirand women areibout what think and what you are. so havirand women are differentit think and what you are. so havirand women are different or men and women are different or whatever about, it's whatever else it is about, it's about you are as a about how good you are as a person. you think there are differences? >> yeah, no, there's major differences. >> and is this is why >> and this is this is why i talk you know, the whole talk about, you know, the whole trans because, know , trans issue because, you know, that's i don't that's why i don't i don't i don't agree with the notion that a trans woman is a woman because i believe that a real i believe that there is a real difference in how women process and things . and this and deal with things. and this proves i mean, this i, i proves it. i mean, this i, i think it was 95% of the time worked out. the difference between male female brain between a male and female brain because of the frontal bit. what's it called? limbic what's it called? the limbic system , which is supposedly system, which is supposedly different women . so yeah. different in women. so yeah. >> well, you are clearly there displaying the woman's forensic attention to detail. well, i will say that i'm opposed my, will say that i'm opposed to my, my. yeah ability to read my. yeah my male ability to read a headline and decide that makes a headline and decide that makes a good story and then go from there. so no thank you. all right. look, are a bit we are right. look, we are a bit we are a slow up . a bit slow coming up. >> care workers >> should overseas care workers be entitled to bring their families them when arriving families with them when arriving to the
