decision was done with the right intentions . decision was done with the right intentions. i recognise , i intentions. i recognise, i recognise the strength of feeling of members on this issue i >> -- >> when 5mm >> when you say there wasn't a vote , well, there wasn't vote, well, there wasn't ultimately a vote, was there in the way that it was intended. >> it was nodded through. >> it was nodded through. >> so it's the worst of all. >> so it's the worst of all. >> words were at worlds, in my view. commons at its worst. and we shouldn't forget. i like lindsay hall. i've known him a long time. he was a labour mp. he's technically still a labour mp and was doing a favour for mp and was he doing a favour for the party? because there the labour party? because there was huge revolt was going to be a huge revolt for starmer on this snp for keir starmer on this snp motion, which is quite an allegation really, it? allegation really, isn't it? >> the only one >> you're not the only one saying that this morning though. let's ask labour mp for birmingham steve birmingham selly oak, steve mccabe. morning steve. and mccabe. good morning steve. and do you agree with andrew's assessment of the situation that lindsay hoyle acted effectively assessment of the situation that lirasay hoyle acted effectively assessment of the situation that lira ratheryle acted effectively assessment of the situation that lira rather unprofessional:ively in a rather unprofessional manner partisan in this manner by being partisan in this very, um, febrile atmosphere there in the . house of commons?

there in the. house of commons? >> i'm afraid i don't, andrew. i don't think that's what happened at all. i think it's largely misrepresenting the situation . misrepresenting the situation. it's not entirely new. the existing arrangements were set up existing arrangements were set ”p by existing arrangements were set up by norman stevens back in, uh, margaret thatcher's government because there was a dispute about the way opposition debates were handled. so uh, speaker hoyle did parted from recent precedent . but it's not recent precedent. but it's not in itself , recent precedent. but it's not in itself, uh, that you, recent precedent. but it's not in itself , uh, that you, the in itself, uh, that you, the problem was that he was given to believe, as i understand it, problem was that he was given to believe, as i understand it , the believe, as i understand it, the problem was he was given to believe that the government fully intended to put and vote on its amendment . had that on its amendment. had that happened there would have been three votes. um at the last minute, you saw it yourself. these leader of the house of commons announced that the government had changed its mind , government had changed its mind, and we can only speculate and why that happened. >> steve. it was grubby. it was

the commons at its worst. there wasn't a vote in the end. it went through on the nod. it was meant be a scottish national meant to be a scottish national party opposition day. they didn't their put didn't get their motion put to the what grubby the vote. what sort of grubby little leader of little deal did the leader of the sir keir the opposition, sir keir starmer, do behind the speaker's chair the speaker? because chair with the speaker? because that's it that's what it looks like. it reeks . reeks. >> yeah, well, i certainly agree the scenes were very unedifying . the scenes were very unedifying. i totally share that . um, i i totally share that. um, i mean, i think actually the truth is there's been far too much posturing around the whole gaza issue. too much hot air, too much posturing , too many people much posturing, too many people trying to grab headlines and not thinking about the real situation on the ground . and i situation on the ground. and i don't think the house of commons did itself any favours yesterday, but i'm not aware of any deals that were done , and i any deals that were done, and i think it's wrong of people to suggest that this is an exceedingly difficult situation. there was a good argument for saying that three quite different sets of views should

be allowed to be put forward , be allowed to be put forward, and that's what the speaker, as i understand it, sought to do . i understand it, sought to do. >> oh, steve, come on. there are labour mps who've been threatened by those who understandably feel very strongly about palestine. i understand the sense of passion behind this issue, but they've been threatened with violence from islamist constituents of theirs. and this is the way in which our democracy has now bent to this sort of religious, sectarian ism in this country. that's what happened last night. >> well, there are mps , not just >> well, there are mps, not just laboun >> well, there are mps, not just labour. i mean, i seem to recall that the snp member, chris lowe, was shouted down when he attempted to address a rally in dundee and we saw the horrendous scenes outside tobias ellwood , scenes outside tobias ellwood, uh, home. uh, just the other week. it's certainly true . there week. it's certainly true. there are elements in this country who have used the gaza situation to display their contempt for democracy . i see no argument

democracy. i see no argument about that whatsoever . uh, the about that whatsoever. uh, the point i'm trying to make is that there were three slightly different positions , uh, that different positions, uh, that were of significance yesterday. i think , in good faith. uh, i think, in good faith. uh, lindsay hoyle attempted to reflect that, which is kind of what the speaker is required to do, in my understanding . look, i do, in my understanding. look, i have been to lindsay hoyle to try and make represent notations on things . my experience of on things. my experience of deaung on things. my experience of dealing with the mine is that he politely listens to you and he makes it clear that he makes the judgement that that's what we elected him to do . elected him to do. >> steve isn't the truth here isn't the truth here. the leader of the opposition is panicking because so many independent muslim candidates are being put up in key labour seats because they do not like the labour party's position on the war in gaza, because starmer had refused to use the word ceasefire . even your own

ceasefire. even your own frontbencher, wes streeting has got an independent muslim standing against him in a constituency where he's only got a majority of 5000. another u—turn and then they mug the speaker to make sure the vote goes their way . goes their way. >> well, i don't as i say, andrew, i accept that that's the situation at all. the situation in gaza is really difficult . it in gaza is really difficult. it requires people to show a bit of grit and a bit of understanding, and with the greatest respect, it doesn't matter how many motions are passed in the house of commons or how many people chantin of commons or how many people chant in the streets, or what threats certain individuals make, this will only be resolved at the point that we can make the talks in egypt and qatar. at the talks in egypt and qatar. at the un bear fruit. and you know, we should concentrate our energies on that. people who who think that they're posturing in the house of commons is going to make a difference, are mistaken . make a difference, are mistaken. >> steve. thank you. we've finished on a very common sense

note there. labour mp for birmingham selly oak, steve mccabe there just to save the number of mps who have now signed a motion confidence signed a motion of no confidence in the speaker, has risen to 49. >> this getting quite >> now this is getting quite serious view. got in the serious in my view. got in the studio, lister, was studio, sam lister, who was there, of course, political edhon there, of course, political editor, express editor, the daily express and lovely sam fels, who was not there, actually was, oh, you there, but actually was, oh, you were there too. i was in parliament a speech on parliament giving a speech on parliamentary while it parliamentary ethics while it was down, believe it was all going down, believe it or extraordinary, or not. how extraordinary, amazing. >> honestly , i mean, the >> so the honestly, i mean, the irony of that though, you're there talking about ethics amongst that behaving amongst that rabble behaving like children. sam lister , like children. um, sam lister, let's let me just ask you then. can you just explain the can you just explain to the british public this matters? british public why this matters? because be many because there will be so many people morning because there will be so many peoplei morning because there will be so many peoplei don't morning because there will be so many peoplei don't care morning because there will be so many peoplei don't care , morning because there will be so many peoplei don't care , care,1ing because there will be so many peoplei don't care , care, ing going, i don't care, care, i don't care, particularly about what's happening in the middle east. i don't care particularly about what's happening amongst these people in the house of commons. why is important ? commons. why is it important? >> well, let's just kind >> okay, well, let's just kind of down bare of take it to down its bare bones. speaker has ultimate bones. the speaker has ultimate power what happens power to choose what happens in that . so various people that chamber. so various people will amendments to

will put forward amendments to change bills to change the laws that affect all our lives. he's the who chooses them. he has the one who chooses them. he has the one who chooses them. he has the ultimate power. so mps have to be able to completely trust in him to be an independent arbiter. he essentially he's like a referee on a football pitch. if one team thinks that he's the referee is favouring the other side , how can they the other side, how can they continue playing that match? it's not a fair match. >> and is that a role that people do normally hold with impartial people do normally hold with imfhistorically, they always >> historically, they always come party, but they come from a party, but they renounce that party allegiance. they become an independent mp until bercow , until john until john bercow, until john bercow, and they we saw during the brexit years , uh, what the brexit years, uh, what happens when a speaker is perceived to be partial? he was obviously perceived to be a remainer. he made comments that made people clearly feel that. and then he took a lot of actions that stymied brexit. and so we saw how angry the house got. i sat through all those brexit wars in the commons as the anger. it was nothing. on the anger. it was nothing. on the anger. it was nothing. on the anger in the chamber last

night. i mean, mps were furious. this wasn't just tory mps , this this wasn't just tory mps, this was mps. even the smaller was snp mps. even the smaller parties, green party . this parties, the green party. this has implications for all the other parties. only labour were happy happened happy with what happened last night has to tell you night and that has to tell you something about the scale of this, because he effectively , by this, because he effectively, by what did with by manipulating what he did with by manipulating the commons procedure in an unprecedented way, he stopped there a massive there being a massive labour revolt on whether there should be a ceasefire immediately. >> yeah. and it was the biggest revolt of his leadership in november. it would have been even bigger last night. and he has got this problem, starmer, hasn't he, with all these independent muslims, this is going will going to mean even more will come would imagine, come forward. i would imagine, because there wasn't a vote, it wasn't a vote. because there wasn't a vote, it wasand| vote. because there wasn't a vote, it wasand| votestarmer it >> and keir starmer i mean, it would a huge, huge would have been a huge, huge night for him. he faced this massive rebellion, you say. night for him. he faced this mwould rebellion, you say. night for him. he faced this mwould rebelibeen you say. it would have been deeply divisive for his party. >> just remind why the >> just remind us why the rebellion, though, his rebellion, though, because his party to for party didn't want to vote for his they his amendments. yes, they were on with the snp version. on board with the snp version. >> mps were so labour >> the labour mps were so labour labour to 100 mps labour mps up to 100 labour mps who predominantly but not

who are predominantly but not only but predominantly in constituencies that have high muslim populations , uh, wanted muslim populations, uh, wanted to back the snp motion which called for an immediate ceasefire with no caveats, no caveats , and also, crucially, um caveats, and also, crucially, um , really, they use a particular phrase about how the israeli state was treating the gazans collective punishment. >> now , sir keir starmer would >> now, sir keir starmer would not sign up to that phrase. collective punishment. wanted to do separate version, do his own separate version, watered down version that all his mps could get behind. and so the speaker, effectively, this was an snp debate. he took this off the snp and gave it to labour and gave labour an open goal >> is that how you see this playing out, sam, that this is just british mps playing politics with a middle eastern issue? >> yeah, unfortunately i do and i think i'm really pleased that you said this is the middle eastern issue, because the point here is that 30,000 people have been killed and the majority of them are women and children .

them are women and children. varne and mps needed to grapple with that. we still purport to be a leading global nation. we should be grappling with that, and we should have grappled with the question of whether that amounts to collective punishment. what the speaker punishment. and what the speaker did by essentially flipping the order in which things were discussed prevented mps from expressing a view on whether they thought that what israel was doing amounts to collective punishment. and that's really important . important. >> and why that phrase, why is that phrase collective punishment important? because collective punishments are war crimes. >> exactly correct. that's right. so starmer couldn't sign up to that. yes, but a of up to that. yes, but a lot of his mps think israel is guilty of war crimes. yeah. >> and i don't think that has anything whether anything to do with whether they got constituents, got muslim constituents, because you for all of us, it's you can for all of us, it's perfectly possible to just to look a country doing, look at what a country is doing, whether whether whether that's israel, whether that's whether that's that's the drc, whether that's russia , and say your actions are russia, and say your actions are in breach of international law, they're wrong. i don't care what

your ethnic background is. >> so , sam, let's bring you back >> so, sam, let's bring you back in here because the speaker's justification for his extraordinary behaviour last night was that fearful for night was that he's fearful for labour personal safety. if labour mps personal safety. if uh, can you explain why he came to that conclusion? well i mean, he was essentially forced back into the chamber because mps were so furious they demanded he returned . returned. >> he wasn't intending to. he had to come and he had to say something. uh now, if we take his, uh , excuse on face value, his, uh, excuse on face value, he's saying, because tensions are so high over this, we've all seen the protests dominating our high streets up and down the country that actually many labour they're safety labour mps felt they're safety was under threat. i have two problems with that. one, you cannot do in cannot change what we do in parliament because of threats from whoever they from the public. whoever they are. two tory mps actually said to me, well, all he did was take the target off the labour backs and put a target on our backs because the conservatives would have been in a different position to both the snp and laboun position to both the snp and labour. and so actually he didn't think about the safety of

all mps . no, didn't think about the safety of all mps. no, he wasn't thinking about the safety of tory mps, who are also really , really who are also really, really fearful their safety. you fearful of their safety. you think safety labour think about the safety of labour mps to remember even mps and we have to remember even though difficult to grapple though it's difficult to grapple with he's neutral, he is though it's difficult to grapple wlabour he's neutral, he is though it's difficult to grapple wlabour mp he's neutral, he is though it's difficult to grapple wlabour mp .1e's neutral, he is a labour mp. >> he was elected in 1997, a labour mp. yeah guys, we've got to take a quick break. >> sorry to interrupt >> i'm so sorry to interrupt you, don't anywhere. you, but don't go anywhere. what's collective noun for what's the collective noun for sam's? intellectual sam's? as an intellectual heavyweight sam's? as an intellectual h

welcome back. 951. we're going to go straight back to our pair of sam's who were here this morning talking about events in westminster last night. the scenes outside sam fell's barrister , of course, remind barrister, of course, remind people. and you were there last night how how aggressive was the atmosphere outside the building ? atmosphere outside the building? >> i've got to say, for me it was more of a carnival than than aggressive. yeah. so i actually

completely accidentally ended up being in this march for quite a long time because i was just i was trying to get grey's in was trying to get from grey's in to parliament, i just ended to parliament, and i just ended up their, their route. up following their, their route. right. it was predominantly right. and it was predominantly sort middle white sort of middle class white people who were, you know, clearly there protesting against because they objected to what the likud government, israel is doing rather than anything else . doing rather than anything else. there was a lot of shouting, you know, a lot police there. but know, a lot of police there. but i was i was chatting to the police. they were they were pretty chill, chilled out , pretty chill, chilled out, chatting you know, chatting to me. and, you know, the they it certainly the they certainly it certainly made it much more difficult to get around westminster. >> very martin >> gb news very own martin daubney egg at him daubney got an egg thrown at him by varne protesters and will by the varne protesters and will no talking about that no doubt be talking about that this from 3:00. this afternoon from 3:00. um, sam , what what do you make of sam, what what do you make of it? because it sounds like that it? because it sounds like that it unusual on any sort of it is unusual on any sort of votes to have a group of people outside trying persuade outside trying to persuade parliament you do. >> i mean, you do get it. and, you know, the office where i sit, out onto the, um, sit, it faces out onto the, um, onto the parliament square. and that have the

that area. so you do have the protesters in and out for all kinds reasons. but think we kinds of reasons. but i think we have remember it's only have to remember it's only a week since ellwood, week ago since tobias ellwood, a conservative mp. yeah. had a group protesters turn up group of protesters turn up on his and that a his doorstep and that was a peaceful protest. but a peaceful protest of nearly 100 people on on his doorstep with his children inside. if you are inside that house, it doesn't matter if they're being peaceful . yeah, that is intimidating . . yeah, that is intimidating. thatis . yeah, that is intimidating. that is intimidating. >> um, the speaker, is he going to survive this? >> i think he's really in trouble . i think yesterday trouble. i think yesterday morning , yesterday lunchtime, morning, yesterday lunchtime, when this all happened , i when this all happened, i thought, well, it's very unusual for a speaker to ever be unseated. really takes a lot unseated. it really takes a lot to do it. but by the end of the day, when we saw that level of anger mps then the anger from the mps and then the conservative whatsapp groups last on fire, they last night were on fire, they are uh, almost universally are all, uh, almost universally against him. there's1 are all, uh, almost universally against him. there's 1 or 2 who think that he should be kept in post he's weak post now because he's weak, weak and can push him around and so they can push him around him, . but on the whole, him, around. but on the whole, they want rid of him .

they want rid of him. >> so what a way that is. >> so what a way that is. >> yeah. no, it is, it is. >> but what does this say for people looking in and our very famous parliament, one of the oldest parliaments in the world, the. look. the. it is such a bad look. >> embarrassing. it is >> it's embarrassing. it is embarrassing. i agree it embarrassing. yeah, i agree it is. not. um know, this is. it's not. um you know, this is, say, this is really is, as we say, this is a really important international issue and reduced will and it's become reduced to will it change our system that it ever change our system that alienates people? alienates so many people? >> gosh. >> sam. oh, gosh. >> sam. oh, gosh. >> i hope so, because the you're right, an right, this comes down to an ancient of date system. ancient and out of date system. well, one guy gets well, we have one guy who gets to make these decisions about what people are allowed, what the allowed what people are allowed, what th> don't go anywhere. >> don't go anywhere. >> this is britain's newsroom. people's channel. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. i'm alex deakin and this is your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. further heavy rain to come today and particularly in

the deep . the deep. >> with my sadness that it's ended up on like that in this position. that was never my intention for it to end up like this. i was absolutely , this. i was absolutely, absolutely convinced that the decision was done with the right intentions . decision was done with the right intentions. i recognise , i intentions. i recognise, i recognise the strength of feeling of members on this issue i >> -- >> well, -_ >> well, he certainly does. now there's 51 mps voted signing a motion of motion of no confidence. the other thing but the clerk of the commons is an all powerful figure . they are all powerful figure. they are the brain. they give the legal brain. they give advice to the speaker. they sit in of the speaker. there in front of the speaker. there are those wigs. are those people in wigs. unusually, the clerk of the commons put it on the record that he had advised the speaker not to do this. is that right? very very, very unusual. highly unusual for the for the clerk, because they're behind the scenes figures. i mean, they sit in they're seen and in front, but they're seen and not . they give very

not heard. they give very important advice, boundaries. not heard. they give very importarclerkice, boundaries. not heard. they give very importarclerk said,oundaries. not heard. they give very importarclerk said, don'tiries. not heard. they give very importarclerk said, don't do ;. and the clerk said, don't do this. speaker. a this. mr speaker. it is a mistake. he did it. so the clerk published his advice, saying, i told him not to it . told him not to do it. >> person is also meant >> and that person is also meant to completely politically impartial. >> absolutely . they are. the >> absolutely. they are. the clerk commons is a civil clerk of the commons is a civil servant, effectively paid by the taxpayer. supporting taxpayer. they're not supporting any political party whatsoever. i a clue the i wouldn't have a clue what the clerk commons , which clerk of the commons, which political party they support , political party they support, and usually there is one clerk in commons, in the in the commons, is now in the house lords but sits as house of lords but sits as a crossbencher, independent. >> joining is >> well, joining us now is former the former former labour mp and the former chair jewish labour chair of the jewish labour movement, ivor caplin. good morning just your morning ivor. um, just your assessment really, you both your assessment really, you both your assessment of the situation last night , um, assessment of the situation last night, um, who were the winners and who were the losers ? and who were the losers? >> well, i don't think there were any winners. um uh, last night in the house of commons, it was shambolic . um, it's not it was shambolic. um, it's not what we want to see from the house of commons. um, and i think in, in, in some ways what the speaker was trying to do

possibly was right because there were a number of different issues around , uh, gaza that he issues around, uh, gaza that he wanted to try and see debated dunng wanted to try and see debated during the day. um fortunately, it didn't turn into that. and possibly the, the, the issue here probably is he should have spoken to the parties before everything started. this was always going to be a controversial day in the house of commons. just because there are different views from the government of the day, from the opposition of the day, and then the snp, etc. so ? so it was very the snp, etc. so? so it was very difficult . um, i, i have some difficult. um, i, i have some sinner empathy with, with lindsay in trying to do the right thing for the whole of the house of commons. it's, it's a very difficult job indeed . um, very difficult job indeed. um, but obviously it went badly wrong and at least he did go back to the house and make an

apology , which i don't think apology, which i don't think i've ever seen, even from mr bercow . bercow. >> andrew, i yeah, i've look, i had huge issues with john bercow. he was a terrible, terrible speaker in my view. so partial and i think it's i think lindsay hall has really blotted his copy. but but you said there quite significantly either he should have talked to the parties before he. he did, parties before he. what he did, he spoke to party leader he spoke to one party leader only. spoke to sir keir only. he spoke to sir keir starmer. there is no denial about don't know what about that. we don't know what was conversation, was said in that conversation, but what that looks like either because didn't talk the because he didn't talk to the tory or leader of the tory leader or the leader of the commons the chief he commons or the chief whip, he only labour. he looks only spoke to labour. he looks like some little like he did some grubby little deal behind the scenes to spare keir starmer, who dreaded , of keir starmer, who dreaded, of all labour mps supporting this snp motion, which would be an even bigger revolt than he suffered last year . suffered last year. >> well, let me i mean, we don't know the actual consequences of what was said in that , uh, what was said in that, uh, conversation, but , you know, what was said in that, uh, conversation, but, you know, i do think that speaking to the

party is, is a job of the speaker and probably you're right, andrew, what he should have done was to have spoken to all the parties, which i see he wants to do today . wants to do today. >> and i think that's at least a step in the right direction. um, i mean, look, the labour party had a different view than the snp. that's not a surprise to anyone. um, on your programme, we discussed this the other day about the change from the us and what that that change was making in terms of , what that that change was making in terms of, um, the united nafions in terms of, um, the united nations and what could happen there. so it was an ongoing situation and, and it and it is today and it will be tomorrow. and it was yesterday. we very difficult let's not bore people with the minutiae of the protocol, but it meant effectively what happened , that effectively what happened, that there could be no debate about whether israel's action in gaza might be deemed to be collective punishment, which is a war crime under international regulation .

under international regulation. >> is that a debate that needs to be had in parliament? >> no, it's the simple answer. why? um, i, i don't think that is a matter for the house of commons. it's a matter for the united nations. of course . and, united nations. of course. and, and the five main players in the un. so i don't think that would be appropriate . and i think we be appropriate. and i think we need we do need to stop that because . because. >> well, maybe sir lindsay hoyle agreed with you. maybe he maybe sir lindsay hoyle agreed with you. and therefore that debate was not had. and there'd be some people that would say, that's absolutely a conversation that should but i could jump in >> yeah, but if i could jump in here as well, if i could jump in >> yeah, but if i could jump in here you ell, if i could jump in >> yeah, but if i could jump in here you saidf i could jump in >> yeah, but if i could jump in here you said it could jump in >> yeah, but if i could jump in here you said it shouldiump in >> yeah, but if i could jump in here you said it should bep in >> yeah, but if i could jump in here you said it should be an1 here, you said it should be an issue for the major five players of nations. well, of the united nations. well, britain you say, britain is one of them. you say, why didn't the british parliament proper parliament have a proper debate on they agree that on whether, uh, they agree that israel i mean, don't think on whether, uh, they agree that israe are nean, don't think on whether, uh, they agree that israe are nean, ofon't think on whether, uh, they agree that israe are nean, of war think on whether, uh, they agree that israe are nean, of war crimes they are guilty of war crimes myself , but why shouldn't the myself, but why shouldn't the british parliament? we are a major player the united major player in the united nafions major player in the united nations debate and nations have that debate and a vote on it .

vote on it. >> i mean, i, i think that one of the problems at the moment is we are in an election year and therefore there are two main parties have no desire. it appears to actually speak together on critical matters. this is a critical international matter, but it's not a critical uk matter because in the uk there is enough going on in, um, you know, the nhs and education and all the usual sort of things that matter. i mean, you know, we've, we've, we've discussed previous about, you know, the troops and what they need in terms of support. so there's lots of things going on here. but in international terms this is a matter for the un predominantly . and i think predominantly. and i think that's where the uk should be playing its part okay. >> all right. thank you so much. former chair of the jewish labour movement ivor caplin there. if if sir lindsay hoyle has to step down, um, who takes

his place ? his place? >> it's a vote for the commons. it's not a matter for the government at all. ministers don't get involved so that bat well, they'll have a vote. but backbenchers will decide. but there three, three deputy there are three, three deputy speakers , um, two tory, one speakers, um, two tory, one laboun speakers, um, two tory, one labour, one of them is standing down next election. so it down at the next election. so it will be. and they will will probably be. and they will almost certainly want a speaker to reflect the politics of lindsay labour. so it could be chris bryant, sir chris bryant, welsh, he's a labour mp in rhondda. he would be the first openly gay speaker. he was second last time and i should imagine he's , as we speak, imagine he's, as we speak, champing at the bit. do you think so? he'll be a government minister if the labour party win the next election, which they look because he's a look like, because he's got a junior job, junior ministerial job, he wouldn't in cabinet. i wouldn't be in the cabinet. i think would be think being speaker would be far more option for him more attractive option for him than being minister. than being a junior minister. and happen quickly? and does that happen quickly? they do it they could they could do it within day. within a day. >> yeah. >> a day. yeah. >> a day. yeah. >> well bryant, if . you're >> well chris bryant, if. you're watching and you want to get in touch with us and pitch yourself

for that particular role, and you've long you've known me for a very long time, chris. you've known me for a very long tim so chris. you've known me for a very long tim so do zhris. you've known me for a very long tim so do call. we'd love to talk >> so do call. we'd love to talk to you. >> but he wouldn't have to stand down as an mp. >> no, you carry on. >> no, no, you carry on. >> you'd to an you >> you'd have to be an mp. you have carry on as an mp, okay? have to carry on as an mp, okay? because was standing because when bercow was standing down, people went down, one of the people who went for ann widdecombe. but for it was ann widdecombe. but she was standing at the she was standing down at the next election. no, michael martin down. for martin stood down. she went for it. she was standing down at it. but she was standing down at the election. i the next election. she said i can transitional speaker. can be a transitional speaker. she'd brilliant, she'd have been brilliant, wouldn't she would wouldn't she? yes, she would have and that have been so honest. and that voice cut through steel voice would cut through a steel vault. >> but what's chris bryant's voice like? sufficient? voice like? is it sufficient? >> it's pretty strong. loud. he'd himself and he'd make himself heard, and he's a great parliament man in he'd make himself heard, and he'ssense at parliament man in he'd make himself heard, and he'ssense at peinament man in he'd make himself heard, and he'ssense at pein the�*nt man in he'd make himself heard, and he'ssense at pein the chamber] the sense he's in the chamber a lot. he was the chamber lot. he was in the chamber speaking yesterday. people speaking yesterday. some people thought what we thought he was doing what we call stringing call filibustering, stringing out have out a debate which should have been minutes give been over in ten minutes to give the to stitch the speaker more time to stitch up that deal with keir starmer. so oh, well, you might have >> oh, well, you might have heard first, let us heard it here. first, let us know thoughts this morning. heard it here. first, let us know atioughts this morning. heard it here. first, let us know at gthts this morning. heard it here. first, let us know at gb news.is morning. heard it here. first, let us know at gb news. comyrning. heard it here. first, let us know at gb news. com still]. gb views at gb news. com still to come. king charles says that he's brought by he's been brought to tears by well—wishers after his cancer diagnosis. he's back at work already. slacking for the already. no slacking for the king. um, and we're going to be

certificate. >> you're listening to gb news radio . radio. >> well, so far, 57 mps have now signed a motion of no confidence in the speaker. sir lindsay hoyle, about his handling of the vote, which didn't in fact take place in the end, and whether there should be a ceasefire in there should be a ceasefire in the gaza war. they included the conservative mp for bolton west, chris . he's here at the chris green. he's here at the house in westminster house of commons in westminster now. . good morning now. good morning. good morning chris. do you want him to go ? chris. do you want him to go? >> uh, yes. i think there's a huge question hanging over the speaker of the house of commons, uh, position at the moment. he interfered in the normal proceedings of the house. he went against the clerk of the house of commons advice and he did it, it seems , at the behest did it, it seems, at the behest of keir starmer , the leader of of keir starmer, the leader of the labour party, the speaker

ought to be there speaking on behalf of all members of parliament equally, not not acting as the agent of his former political party, the labour party. chris there'll be people at home this morning having their bacon sandwich and a cup of coffee, worrying about how they're going the how they're going to fill the car because it's too expensive. >> can't pay gas bill. >> they can't pay the gas bill. the shopping too the supermarket shopping is too expensive. to those expensive. just explain to those people, chris, why this matters to them . to them. >> well, the starting point on this is the scottish national party , as all opposition parties party, as all opposition parties do have an opportunity to raise their concerns in parliament. and it's quite right that when they choose that a ceasefire on gazais they choose that a ceasefire on gaza is their priority, that's what they want to talk about in our democracy , in our house of our democracy, in our house of commons, that they have the right to discuss their issue, which is a ceasefire in gaza. labour couldn't tolerate that. they had to have different words , shift the meaning because they would find it is very difficult for labour party management to be able to vote against, abstain

or vote in favour with that is snp. uh agenda. now that's normal parliamentary process . normal parliamentary process. and what happened with the speaker of the house of commons? he changed the standing orders. the standing orders are there to make that normal make sure that normal proceedings in the house have order. and by doing what he did, he created chaos and he undermined our ability to have, uh, normal operations. normal democratic operations in the house of commons. this is serious for the speaker to do. >> and people watching might be thinking, that's interesting , thinking, that's interesting, but does it matter really , but does it matter really, chris, in the end, what parliament says or thinks about a ceasefire because netanyahu, the israeli prime minister, isn't frankly interested . he's isn't frankly interested. he's not listening to pressure from the united states. he's certainly not going to listen to what parliament does. and by the way, what happened yesterday sent terrible image sent the most terrible image around the world of our own parliament. i think , well, this parliament. i think, well, this was intervention by the was an intervention by the speaker of the parliament, uh ,

speaker of the parliament, uh, that triggered this. >> following the conversation with sir keir starmer. but the united has very little united kingdom has very little influence israel. israel influence over israel. israel was attacked in the most horrific way. we can all, uh , horrific way. we can all, uh, expect the reaction israel is currently , uh, delivering in currently, uh, delivering in gaza. we could all anticipate that, uh, before that attack and the united states has influenced other , uh, players in the middle other, uh, players in the middle east have far more incidents. uh far more influence in israel, in gaza, with hamas, with the israeli government than the british government have in this issue . so it's still a question issue. so it's still a question for the scottish national party to assert what they believe the single biggest issue is, and for labour to intervene in the way they did when labour have chosen never to have one of their opposition day debates focussed on gaza for them to intervene with the speaker of the house of commons in this way is just so damaging to our democracy. yes,

we want to be talking about health, education, the economy , health, education, the economy, the cost of living, all those things. but this was a snp debate . debate. >> i'm i'm just going back >> i'm just i'm just going back again. do you think if there is again. do you think if there is a move to topple the speaker again, people worrying again, people who are worrying about living crisis, about the cost of living crisis, chris, about chris, they're worrying about their gas and electric bills, were just think that it's were they just think that it's parliament yet again , talking to parliament yet again, talking to itself looking out to itself and not looking out to what really concerns people ? what really concerns people? yes. yeah there is that problem. >> there is that danger. but when you have a situation where the speaker, at the behest of sir keir starmer, leader of the labour party , usurps and goes labour party, usurps and goes against the view of the clerk of the house of commons if he usurps normal democratic processes, it's actually fundamentally damaging to our democracy , and our democracy is democracy, and our democracy is the ability to deal with these questions over cost of living, education and health. chris you hang out in bolton. >> that's your constituency. you will know that the people of bolton, those common sense

northerners, will be watching this absolute rabble, the shower of shame in the house of commons on a night like that and thinking , on a night like that and thinking, why do i on a night like that and thinking , why do i bother voting thinking, why do i bother voting ? why do i bother? these people do not know what my life is like. they do not know that i don't particularly care about this sort of procedure process and this is why we have such terrible voter apathy, isn't it ? terrible voter apathy, isn't it? well there's a responsibility on members of parliament. >> there's also a responsibility on the media. if we're going to go down that route. there are all sorts of debates in the house of commons which are barely touched by the barely touched upon by the media. if you want to have more in depth, focus on the steel industry, more in depth, focus on other matters and on so many other matters and children education, there is plenty of opportunity to have the media cover those issues because they are there. they are available in the house of commons and in westminster hall. if choose to have if the media choose to have other discussions, well, that's down . down to you. >> i'm talking about more when

you all braying at each other and you're and can't and you're rude and you can't keep the speaker's keep quiet, and the speaker's trying people are trying to talk and people are shouting wouldn't shouting out, you wouldn't get away a classroom. and away with it in a classroom. and it the british public cold. >> well, again, um, if we look at, for example , prime at, for example, prime minister's question time or this really unusual event where sir keir starmer intervened on the, uh, the speaker of the house of commons to get him to manipulate the rules in labour's favour. yeah. things like this will happen. but if you look at the vast majority of what members of parliament do, whether select parliament do, whether in select committees or party parliamentary groups , parliamentary groups, westminster in the westminster hall and yes, in the chamber of the house of commons, actually is positive. actually much of it is positive. much of it is uplifting. and yes, members of parliament do address concerns that address the concerns that constituents in bolton west and right around the country do have. question the have. it's a question of how the media publish and broadcast. >> chris, we've got 20s does the speaker go or does he stay ? speaker go or does he stay? >> uh, it's on a knife edge at the moment. it's very difficult questions. uh, scottish national

party of purists, as are many conservative backbenchers . the conservative backbenchers. the labour party seem to be quite happy and content with it, which i tells everything . i think tells you everything. >> okay, thanks much, chris >> okay, thanks so much, chris green there, conservative mp for bolton . bolton west. >> thanks for joining bolton west. >> thanks forjoining us. >> thanks forjoining us. >> still come, the >> right still to come, the house commons into house of commons erupted into this chaos. we've heard it there. know what you there. let us know what you think views at news. com think gb views at gb news. com first . weather. first the. weather. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar . solar. >> the sponsors of weather on . >> the sponsors of weather on. gb news. hello there! welcome to your latest gb news weather update with me, annie from the met office. there will be further heavy rain through met office. there will be furtiafternoon, avy rain through met office. there will be furtiafternoon, asi rain through met office. there will be furtiafternoon, as well through met office. there will be furtiafternoon, as well as'ough met office. there will be furtiafternoon, as well as some this afternoon, as well as some potentially very gusty winds. this afternoon, as well as some poteonce.y very gusty winds. this afternoon, as well as some poteonce theery gusty winds. this afternoon, as well as some poteonce the rain usty winds. this afternoon, as well as some poteonce the rain doesninds. this afternoon, as well as some poteonce the rain does clear, it but once the rain does clear, it will start to feel colder but dnen will start to feel colder but drier. that says, this weather front is bringing that heavy rain air is rain behind it. the air is turning much colder. the weather front across the front may stall across the southeast through the afternoon and a result, we'll see some and as a result, we'll see some quite persistent heavy rain across parts across central and eastern parts of england. there's a rain warning through warning in force through the

he's a decent man. he's very well about mp safety. he knows the pressure mps locally. well about mp safety. he knows the of essure mps locally. well about mp safety. he knows the of the|re mps locally. well about mp safety. he knows the of the pressure,s locally. well about mp safety. he knows the of the pressure, the :ally. well about mp safety. he knows the of the pressure, the threats lot of the pressure, the threats we don't hear in the media because don't want to tell because mps don't want to tell us want encourage us they don't want to encourage it. offer labour mps it. he tried to offer labour mps a third to vote for the a third option to vote for the party's position, an attempt to try and bring some pressure off them locally. that's been seen as bad faith by the snp and the tories and they've walked away and now , right now, pressure is and now, right now, pressure is building on sir lindsay hoyle to resign as we as we sit here, as you said there , 57 mps have you said there, 57 mps have backed this . motion, this edm, backed this. motion, this edm, which like a petition here in parliament for him saying they've got no confidence in him. if you lose the confidence of the house of the commons, you resign in comparison, 22 signed an edm, a motion back in 2009. in michael martin, when you and in michael martin, when you and i were working on the mp expenses scandal back in the day, andrew pierce at the telegraph, he had gone within

two days. um, right now it looks like tory mps are leading the charge. all six officers of the 1922 committee of backbench tory mps signed the motion . in mps have signed the motion. in a quarter of the other executive members. a signal from members. that is a signal from the tory backbenches to their whips that they are not happy with lindsay hoyle, lindsay hoyle apart, they are not commenting on any meetings. we're waiting for him to meet with of the of with the chief whips of the of the main three parties here. the tories, labour and lib dems to reassure them he was acting in good faith . but this is good faith. but this story is rapidly escalating away from him at moment. we speak , as at the moment. as we speak, as i say, we're they, we're told by the speaker's office moments say, we're they, we're told by the swelker's office moments say, we're they, we're told by the we are s office moments say, we're they, we're told by the we are s of'commenting; ago, we are not commenting on pubuc ago, we are not commenting on public carrying public meetings. he's carrying on business as usual. his friends tell us that he was thinking about the safety of mps friends tell us that he was thin trying)out the safety of mps friends tell us that he was thin trying to |t the safety of mps friends tell us that he was thin trying to be 1e safety of mps friends tell us that he was thin trying to be had. fety of mps friends tell us that he was thintrying to be had. them mps and trying to be had. them paramount in his mind . paramount in his mind. >> and that, christopher, i'm sorry to interrupt you, but that's the bit that i think leaves me aghast that this idea that lindsay hoyle changed parliamentary procedure because he is concerned , in

he is concerned, in collaboration with sir keir starmer , about the safety of mps starmer, about the safety of mps because islamist residents of this country have threatened them with violence if they don't vote in a certain way. in our democracy, that is historic . democracy, that is historic. >> bev, you are totally right and that is the concern of people like sir geoffrey cox, the former attorney general . he the former attorney general. he says either way , it was the says either way, it was the wrong choice to make , because if wrong choice to make, because if you're going to . the tories feel you're going to. the tories feel they are doing labour a favour. there's claims denied by the speaker's office of officers of offers, him having the offers, of him having the job after election. if he did this for that is denied the for him, that is denied by the speaker's office. take speaker's office. if you take the at face . value the speaker at at face. value he's doing it to try and take pressure off the mps and that mp, tory mp tell me, is bowing to mob. that's what people to the mob. that's what people like sir geoffrey cox say. and that's the problem. that is a problem with the whole thing. i should there tom goldsmith, mentioned there tom goldsmith, the the commons the clerk of the commons publishing now, publishing his advice. now,

that's when the speaker that's because when the speaker became lindsay hoyle, became speaker, lindsay hoyle, he ever he departed he said that if ever he departed from from the advice of the clerks, he would publish the letter so although letter of the clerk. so although it's a very rare he is doing, he's being as good as his word, as his word. when he became speaker um, just speaker back in 2019, um, just finally tom christopher, finally, tom christopher, the other . i mean, okay, he's other point. i mean, okay, he's concerned about labour and peace, safety. >> what about tory mps safety? what about liberal democrat mp safety, nationalist? what about liberal democrat mp salooks nationalist? what about liberal democrat mp salooks he's nationalist? what about liberal democrat mp salooks he's only. ionalist? what about liberal democrat mp salooks he's only. ionalis? it looks like he's only. this is the for sir lindsay the problem for sir lindsay hoyle. it looks like he's just acting for one side of the house, which is of course the side of the house. he comes from or did come from before it became independent. >> of course, he's independent mp now in rochdale. exactly >> of course, he's independent mp ncand rochdale. exactly >> of course, he's independent mp ncand that'siale. exactly >> of course, he's independent mp ncand that's the exactly >> of course, he's independent mp ncand that's the problem. right. and that's the problem. i mean this is disguising away from other big issues affecting the country at the moment. i heard you mention earlier the issue of office closures. issue of post office closures. now that's story which i've now that's a story which i've been writing about on the gb news website, because there is a secret plan discussed with the former chairman of post former chairman of the post office branches after

office to close branches after after the government oversaw the jailing of unfairly, wrongly of subpostmasters. there are bigger issues at play. i think outside of where i'm standing in westminster hall, the problem is parliament occasionally turn parliament can occasionally turn it in on itself and that's what we're seeing today. mps are rowing about the authority of the speaker. >> okay. thank you. christopher hope hall, hope there in westminster hall, very westminster if very iconic westminster hall, if you about what that you think about what that happened, that happened, the precedent that this particular issues this sets any particular issues to voted on might to be voted on which might include cultural or include any sort of cultural or religious element, it now means that people with a vested interest can pressure mps by the threats of violence to vote in a certain way, which is shocking because because this will then say, should they have more security? >> should um, search >> should there, um, search surgery should not be advertised publicly because of course, david murdered at his david amess was murdered at his constituency tory constituency surgery. the tory mp protection? do mp do they need protection? do they need security? but i'm sorry, the speaker cannot bow to a baying mob . and change

a baying mob. and change procedure because of that. that is not the way to govern, because of fear, because fear because of fear, because of fear of one particular group of very noisy, people. of one particular group of very noi�*yeah, people. of one particular group of very noi�*yeah, amazing.eople. of one particular group of very noi�*we're amazing.eople. of one particular group of very noi�*we're going ng.eople. of one particular group of very noi�*we're going ng.talke. little >> we're going to talk a little later program duncan later in the program iain duncan smith. former tory smith. now he's the former tory leader us whether leader who will tell us whether he speaker should he thinks the speaker should continue not. hear from continue or not. we'll hear from him

think has to go now. think he probably has to go now. you just you know, we were talking just before michael when before about michael martin when he he only had 25. um, no he went, he only had 25. um, no comments. and he was advised to go gordon brown. so suspect comments. and he was advised to go go. rdon brown. so suspect comments. and he was advised to go go. but brown. so suspect comments. and he was advised to go go. but what's. so suspect comments. and he was advised to go go. but what's reallysuspect he'll go. but what's really bugging me about this , and i bugging me about this, and i think a lot of people out there don't really care much about the intricacies of parliamentary procedure. however, they've touched on before, she touched on it before, and she was about fact that, was talking about the fact that, you have a we know if you know, we have a we know if our parliament is going to bow down to pressure from islamists in this country. and, you know, if our mps are being threatened by islamist deal with those islamists, don't bring it into parliament, don't change parliamentary procedure . and if parliamentary procedure. and if they can, you know, and i think i saw one tory today in the paper saying, now we've got a target on our backs as well. yeah. so all right. >> so to, to, to change the rules to protect labour. labour the party, tory mps. well and the party, tory mps. well and the exactly. the party, tory mps. well and the that's, exactly. the party, tory mps. well and the that's, that'sactly. the party, tory mps. well and the that's, that's why >> and that's, that's why i think everyone is so furious about this because they realise . about this because they realise. the consequences that, you know,

i think to rig a motion is, is probably too far to go. but however he changed motion and probably too far to go. but horchanged changed motion and probably too far to go. but horchanged procedure motion and probably too far to go. but horchanged procedure for)tion and probably too far to go. but horchanged procedure for afterand he changed procedure for after talking after . talking talking privately after. talking to the opposition and he talked privately to keir starmer outside , he has denied talking outside, he has denied talking to who was lurking in to sue gray, who was lurking in the corridors. >> who was starmer's chief of staff, was starmer's chief staff, who was starmer's chief of so it all looks murky . and >> so it all looks murky. and stinky and not quite right. and it's certainly not parliamentary procedure . procedure. >> nicky. this idea, though, of, um, transplanting middle eastern tensions, which are profound and decades old in to the middle of our democracy london, find our democracy in london, i find that chilling . that deeply chilling. >> well, i see it from the perspective of still being a global power, and therefore we have a in my opinion, we have a duty to help. and i actually think it's quite shocking that it descended into the chaos it did, because there'll be loads of people who would have been hanging that, watching what hanging on that, watching what was and hoping hanging on that, watching what was there and hoping hanging on that, watching what was there going and hoping hanging on that, watching what was there going and hmore that there was going to be more aid going to be aid and there was going to be more pressure for a ceasefire. so i actually see kind of the other way around in a way, bev,

warnings on everything. so by the time they get outside into the time they get outside into the they're the workplace, they're not resilient. terrified of resilient. they're terrified of everything. and so what's happening is they're terrified of the workplace . they of the workplace. they don't want to into workplace. want to go into the workplace. and something these and something like these personal payments, personal independence payments, pip payments . tens of thousands pip payments. tens of thousands of those are paid to young people between 18 and 30. what are these? their payments that you get if you have social phobia problems, if you actually originally it wasn't that though, there were serious disabilities. >> you know, people who couldn't live basically without help. i mean, i think biggest mean, i think the biggest problem is someone that problem for me is someone that has illness problem for me is someone that héthat illness problem for me is someone that héthat we're illness problem for me is someone that héthat we're conflating illness problem for me is someone that héthat we're conflating mental is that we're conflating mental wellness with mental illness. yeah, exactly. and we don't talk about the really serious issues. like i had psychosis, which happens to in people in happens to 1 in 100 people in this we never talk this country. we never talk about it's terrifying. you about it. it's terrifying. you basically everything basically believe everything that's brain that's going mad in your brain is and a is happening, and you are a danger yourself normally. and danger to yourself normally. and danger to yourself normally. and danger people. danger to other people. and i was that was very lucky that i was actually in australia, actually sectioned in australia, where treated and cared where i was treated and cared for and if i'd have been section two, don't think i'd. i would two, i don't think i'd. i would have ever have got better because of mental

because of the state of mental health care. that's another story. saying story. but the reason i'm saying this there are some this is because there are some very conditions that we very serious conditions that we need but telling need to treat, but telling everybody this everybody that they have this kind level and kind of low level anxiety and therefore deal kind of low level anxiety and thereit,e deal kind of low level anxiety and thereit, that's deal kind of low level anxiety and thereit, that's not deal kind of low level anxiety and thereit, that's not healthy. deal kind of low level anxiety and thereit, that's not healthy. andl with it, that's not healthy. and it starts schools because with it, that's not healthy. and it stehave schools because with it, that's not healthy. and it stehave mentals because in they have mental health week in school, have school, and my girls have both of have back at of them have come back at different times and said, mummy , different times and said, mummy, i i should have i feel like i should have a mental health condition because we've it all week we've talked about it all week and is this is a problem . and this is this is a problem. >> this was a thing. i got my fingers now it says last year1 or 3 personal independent payments that's payments. um, for and that's anxiety social phobia. so yes people are living on benefits because they have social phobia and stress. and this is young this is the department of work and pensions. >> it's work pension. but what you should be asking is who questions it. >> so if you go and say to someone, i've a mental someone, i've got a mental health issue, are so health issue, people are so societally now were too terrified to argue with that in case they often don't have a diagnosis. >> you can have a self—diagnosis for something i don't know if you have that for pip. i you can have that for pip. i mean, the thing would say is, mean, the thing i would say is, you have friend

>> and you can imagine . excuse >> and you can imagine. excuse me to tears mostly. wow. >> i can imagine, but it's. >> i can imagine, but no, it's. everyone behind you. and it's everyone is behind you. and it's also , it's been nice to see the also, it's been nice to see the spotlight that it's shone on the work that charities do in this area. which which i'm sure . area. which which i'm sure. you're be happy about, because i hear that there's been a lot more attention interest on the there's main wonderful cancer charities , many which i've been charities, many which i've been patron of years and they do incredible work up and down the country. they do well . country. they do well. >> well, that was an insight into one of the most awkward encounters i've ever is. >> and it's very unusual for it to be filmed. but that is another the wants another sign that the king wants to we know every time another sign that the king wants to come we know every time another sign that the king wants to come back know every time another sign that the king wants to come back from every time another sign that the king wants to come back from sandringham , he's come back from sandringham, he's come back from sandringham, he's in that daimler where he's in that big daimler where we see him. charles is we can see him. charles rae is an expert on all things royal. the former royal editor the the former royal editor of the sun, charles that was bit sun, charles um, that was a bit excruciating, let's excruciating, wasn't it? let's be honest, i mean , be honest, charles. i mean, small talk between the prime minister king. not easy. minister and the king. not easy. >> clearly, they've only just been given the script and they're just just quickly

memorised it. but it was it was nice to see, as you quite rightly say, andrew, it's not something that we normally see that sort occasion and that that sort of occasion and it was nice to see, uh, them together and, you know, clearly the king is looking quite well . the king is looking quite well. um, he's looking very well, in fact. um, he's looking very well, in fact . i um, he's looking very well, in fact. i mean, he's come up with his usual few jokes. it's, you know, it's all done by mirrors and that sort stuff, uh, and all that sort of stuff, uh, sort does say, but, sort of thing. he does say, but, uh , i think he's genuine when he uh, i think he's genuine when he says he's clearly touched and close to tears with that amount of messages. he's received in letters, cards and everything else. uh, and it just shows that there is a great deal of love out there for him in this country. you know, despite the critics and cynics about the royal family >> so do you think that then was inspired by king charles as the filming of that as opposed to the prime minister >> yeah, i think it was. i think it was inspired by the i'm pretty sure it was inspired by

the king, because if the king hadnt the king, because if the king hadn't agreed to it, then it would, uh, it wouldn't have happened. i just think he happened. and i just think he wanted that. wanted to show people that. look, still got look, you know, i've still got the cancer. i'm fighting hard against it. and, you know, i'm bouncing back, and, you know, this is the first time he's seen sunak this year. um although he has kept up to date with the various red boxes . and he also various red boxes. and he also had a privy council meeting on tuesday, tuesday night, a to face face privy council meeting. so he's slowly getting back to work . and as we all know as well work. and as we all know as well that he is still working hard on various documents . and, uh, he various documents. and, uh, he has had some zoom meetings with various people. so he's not sitting back and relaxing , uh, sitting back and relaxing, uh, you know, with his pipe and slippers. i mean, he doesn't smoke. that was just a phrase. >> sorry, but what we don't know, charles, is if the treatment is ongoing, and it may be for know. he coming be for all we know. is he coming back bit too soon? not a back a bit too soon? he's not a young anymore . he's 75. to young man anymore. he's 75. to be honest. doesn't look healthy. >> i don't think, uh, i think he's coming back with doctors

advice. i don't think he is breaking that advice. i think he's making sure that if the doctors say it's okay for him to meet sunak and do the privy council and so forth, then he will carry on. as we all know, andrew, he is a workaholic. he does. he does. he detests sitting around and doing nothing. so . so, um, yeah, he's nothing. so. so, um, yeah, he's i've seen him look better in that short snippet you showed earlier on, but he's, he is back and he's full of praise. and i think also as well, one of the insights that we see as well is the praise for the various cancer charities , which clearly cancer charities, which clearly are getting a lot of, uh, traffic from various people, given what's happened to the king. and there people are checking , you know, various checking, you know, various forms of what they think might be wrong. so that's a good thing. that's a positive thing . thing. that's a positive thing. >> yeah. okay. >> yeah. okay. >> i'm just going say, >> i'm just going to say, charles, he'll charles, do you think he'll reply lot of those reply to most a lot of those letters himself? >> i well think it's in the >> i well i think it's in the thousands. i'd be very surprised if he's been able sit down,

if he's been able to sit down, evenin if he's been able to sit down, even in his spidery hand . yes. even in his spidery hand. yes. quite right . even in his spidery hand. yes. quite right. right. uh, you know, i think , you know, so know, i think, you know, so i think that's one of the reasons why he's able to come out in, you know, something fixed like this and say, look, thanks very much. you really touched me . you much. you really touched me. you brought me close to tears. i'm really grateful for your all. your all your support. >> okay . lovely. thanks, >> okay. lovely. thanks, charles. charles rea, there . charles. charles rea, there. thank you. uh, giving us the insight on that. let's just have a little of what you've been a little bit of what you've been saying home. it's just a little bit of what you've been saying home. it'sjust such a little bit of what you've been saying home. it's just such a saying at home. it's just such a busy today the commons busy show today on the commons chaos andrew, who chaos last night, andrew, who said spoke said starmer recently spoke about work to about how he would work to restore in restore the trust of citizens in parliament. wonder he parliament. i wonder if he now thinks he's accomplishing thinks that he's accomplishing this alan give the this, alan says. give the speaker a break. he's a good speaken speaker a break. he's a good speaker. despite being a labour supporter actions were supporter and his actions were carried the right carried out for the right reasons. i think you're right, alan, that he looked alan, in that he looked emotional he said, i've emotional and he said, i've tried right tried to do this for the right reasons. to in protect mps reasons. as to in protect mps from threats of violence from islamic extremists. but that surely can't be the right reason

under any circumstance. >> so this will encourage the islamic extremists to do it, threaten even more because if they get a vote in the commons changed, well , let's threaten changed, well, let's threaten even that's problem. even more. that's the problem. it's wedge. it's thin end of the wedge. >> this country should >> mike says this country should care parliamentary care about parliamentary procedure. this evolved over procedure. this has evolved over hundreds of years to give credence our great democracy. credence to our great democracy. but what country doesn't but what this country doesn't deserve incompetent, deserve is incompetent, self—serving who self—serving politicians who can't and don't respect the people who put them there. nicely put mike. >> the thing was so >> the whole thing was so unedifying wasn't now, um, unedifying, wasn't it? now, um, uh, still to we are uh, let's still to come. we are going to be 58 mps now. have signed confidence motion in signed a no confidence motion in lindsay hall. we're going be lindsay hall. we're going to be speaking tory speaking to the former tory leader, duncan smith , leader, sir iain duncan smith, who joined he'll who hasn't joined them. he'll tell why with britain's tell us why you with britain's newsroom on . gb news, you newsroom on. gb news, you wouldn't expect a former tory leader to turn it. >> yeah. earlier on gb news radio we just want to talk to the minister for women, maria caulfield, who joins us now. >> good to see you this morning. and i know there's issues you want about, which we

want to talk about, which we will i've got to will come to. but i've got to ask about

certificate. >> you're listening to tv news, radio. >> welcome back. it's nearly 10 to 12 now. locals in a small town in cumbria are up in arms at plans to house asylum seekers whilst they say they're in the middle of a housing shortage , middle of a housing shortage, they're not alone, are they? >> because this is happening all over the country. didn't we discover any last week or the week before? homes week before? 16,000 homes now being asylum being allocated for asylum seekers? i think 1.2 million people on the council house waiting in this seaside people on the council house waitirof in this seaside people on the council house waitirof millom 1is seaside people on the council house waitirof millom , s seaside people on the council house waitirof millom , eight;ide people on the council house waitirof millom , eight properties town of millom, eight properties have been set aside. they're going to be converted for 40 asylum nice too. asylum seekers, very nice too. >> let's talk to our north >> so let's talk to our north west reporter, sophie rohypnol, who millom with the latest who is in millom with the latest . sophie, just explain us if . sophie, just explain to us if you would, what what kind of houses are they? what's the area . and 40 people doesn't necessarily sound like that many . so why are the locals so upset ?

>> well, 7 >> well, 21st question ? >> well, 21st question initially there bev, we've been on the street this morning where those proposed hmos are would be if the plans were to go through . the plans were to go through. they have now been paused due to the outcry from the local community. they're just simple terraced houses that would then be converted into hmos, which is otherwise known as housing with multiple occupants. for any of our viewers who aren't aware of that, that terminology , we in that, that terminology, we in terms of why there's been such outcry , essentially, this is outcry, essentially, this is a very small rural community population of around 5700 people. so really, really small condensed . they're concerned, condensed. they're concerned, i believe , having spoken to some believe, having spoken to some of the local residents, this morning, as well as the mayor and the leader of the town council, they're concerned about the on their the impact on their infrastructure . the they really infrastructure. the they really don't lot around here. we don't have a lot around here. we struggled this morning to go live because the signal was so poon live because the signal was so poor. that tells you how poor. that just tells you how small and how cut off this community is. so i think they're

concerned about the appropriateness of welcoming in anyone on whether or not that would be an asylum seeker or not. this, as i say this morning we spoke to the leader of the of millom town council , we spoke to the leader of the of millom town council, and this is what he had to say. >> if the public had an outcry to this, you know, there's potential for as many as 40 properties in millom that would have heading down this have been heading down this hmo route , and that's totally route, and that's totally inappropriate for a town of this size. >> it's a small, rural, size. >> it's a small , rural, isolated >> it's a small, rural, isolated town . poor transport links . this town. poor transport links. this has its own issues and problems, has its own issues and problems, has a shortage of rental rented accommodation. anyway you know, we've got families that aren't able to find a home to live in, in millom . now of course it is in millom. now of course it is the government, the home office who are responsible for housing asylum seekers. >> so gb news have spoken to the home office and this is what they had to say. we have always been upfront about the unprecedented pressure being put on our asylum system, brought

about by a significant increase in dangerous and illegal journeys into the country over recent years. the home office has a statutory duty to provide safe and secure housing for asylum seekers, and we are continuing to work closely with local authorities, including here in millom, to manage any impact in the area and address local concerns. now, i think a based on what we just heard from the leader of the town council there, that that isn't something that they would with. that they would agree with. in fact, they only found fact, they say they only found out about the proposed plans when one the local residents when one of the local residents asked the builder next door about what they were i about what they were doing. so i think there's been a real air of mystery, and that is perhaps what's put the people of millom, that's what's put backs up that's what's put their backs up about these proposed hmos . about these proposed hmos. >> and sophie, just to be clear, so the moment, they've had to so at the moment, they've had to change their because of change their plans because of pressure community. >> at the minute, they've had to pause their plans. so there is a meeting happening here in millom tonight around 6:00, where that will be discussed. i believe the

local mp is going to be present and they've worked closely with the community action group as well as the council and the mayor's office to try and try and understand, first of all, what was proposed and how they can move forward with what's best for the people of millom . best for the people of millom. >> okay. thank you so much, sophie sophie reaper there. millom . isn't appalling? >> find default . >> they find out by default. yes, councillors have to take people with them they're people with them if they're going change local going to change local communities . it's happening all communities. it's happening all over the country, all over the country and it's appalling . country and it's appalling. you've got to communicate with people. >> it's about the money, isn't it? >> i'm thinking , who's getting >> i'm thinking, who's getting the council? obviously getting money perhaps to take. >> yeah. and i need to say i'm going to be on benefits. of course they are because not allowed to work . yeah. how long allowed to work. yeah. how long have they been here. it's just chaos isn't it. the immigration and asylum system is. it really is. let's just finish the show today with some more of your views, because you've been very busy getting in touch this morning. >> scott has said , to be honest,
