that was able to happen given the content of what it was, we were debating, never the less, mr speaker, it descended into farce because of the decision that you made and you alone made to ignore the advice that was given to you by the clerks and as i have expressed to you privately prior to proceedings here today, we do we do not on these benches, therefore believe that you can continue in your role as speaker. we do not have confidence in your ability to do so. so i would therefore welcome clarity either from yourself or indeed from the leader of the house, as to how we can best facilitate a vote in this chamber at the earliest possible occasion . occasion. >> well, the knives are certainly drawn from the snp and

meanwhile, sir keir starmer has strenuously denied claims that he threatened sir lindsay hoyle to select his party's amendment in the gaza ceasefire debate so he could avoid a large rebellion of his own, saying he simply urged the commons speaker to have the broadest possible debate by putting a number of opfionsin debate by putting a number of options in front of mps. well, i'm joined now from westminster hall, live by gb news political editor christopher hope . chris, editor christopher hope. chris, a huge day yesterday . we watched a huge day yesterday. we watched this build up, this time yesterday, the mob outside seeming to dictate what was going on inside, believed to be 60 and rising mps. now chris, have signed this petition to just stop hoyle . can he survive ? just stop hoyle. can he survive? >> well, the number now is 63, but as you say, rising. we heard there stephen flynn. he's the westminster leader of the snp. he said his party, the third biggest party in house of commons, doesn't support sir lindsay hoyle. if you add the

other snp members of that group who the edm, you who haven't signed the edm, you get towards 79 or 80. now, i've been told by senior tory figures, friends of sir lindsay hoyle, who reluctantly hoyle, who have reluctantly signed this that they think signed this edm that they think it could 100 by it could be, could be 100 by monday. that's 1 in 6 of all mps in the house of commons not having confidence or saying they should a vote confidence should be a vote of confidence in whether support the in whether they support the speaker of the house of commons, a complete disaster. it's hard to navigate a way to know and navigate a way through this. ithink to know and navigate a way through this. i think it through on this. i think it seems to me that what could happen and maybe might have to happen and maybe might have to happen from to tories, happen from talking to tories, certainly who who are leading the charge here, i mean, all of the charge here, i mean, all of the officers of 1922 the officers of the 1922 committee this committee have backed this motion. if sir lindsay came out and sat there and speaker's chair and said it was labour who put me in a position where i had to select their amendment, that might be a way of almost rebalancing the ledger, because currently the snp and the tories feel that this is a speaker who isn't going to be a fair deal with them. he gave labour a

chance last night and get out of free jail card. card last night. not to have to vote for the snp policy on gaza or the government policy on gaza or the government policy in gaza. he gave them a third way. he allowed a vote on labour's motion and that's what caused big row, which we caused the big row, which we discussed where discussed yesterday, and where the of the house of the clerk of the house of commons stepped in said this commons stepped in and said this is unusual but is allowed but is unusual by the speaker. an unusual by the speaker. it's an utter . i certainly didn't utter mess. i certainly didn't see an attempt to remove the speaker coming this week. i think was the speaker who think he was the speaker who is well he got the well liked, but he has got the mps back, particularly on security . but he's walked into security. but he's walked into an absolute mess here and i can't see how he gets out of it. he's got to win the snp round somehow. um, he can limp on, hobble on to the election, but he's wounded chris to try he's badly wounded chris to try and give some benefit of the doubt to sir lindsay. >> he said he mentioned the time when parliament came under a terrorist attack. previously we all remember those terrible scenes of course, he said, i have a duty of care that i have to carry out to protect people

in parliament. it is the protection, that instinct that led me to make a wrong decision. do you think people will buy that? the fact he was doing this as a humanitarian act, an act of protectionism or will the prevailing mood be actually he caved to the mob and that's why i think your point about the mob outside has resonance in this case, martin, because i think that this place, we're all vetted to come and work here, we have to go through security. >> if you're visiting here, mps are meant to be able to debate anything without fear or favour. i mean , even in the house of i mean, even in the house of commons chamber, you're not meant in the meant to mention who's in the gallery above. when vote in gallery above. when mps vote in the members lobby, i am chucked out i'm not an mp. out because i'm not an mp. rightly mps are meant to be rightly so. mps are meant to be able to a at this able to have a vote at this place is a sanctity of debate, and to suggest as as he did, that the pressure on mps in their constituencies means that labour mps should have a vote is dictating what mps discuss in the commons chamber. and that's

the commons chamber. and that's the point made to me earlier by sir geoffrey cox. he made clear that britain's enemies will look at go , well, if you put at that and go, well, if you put some locally , we can some heat on mps locally, we can change the change what's debated in the house of commons and the mother of parliament. and that's house of commons and the mother of point. iament. and that's house of commons and the mother of point. iiment. and that's house of commons and the mother of point. ithink and that's house of commons and the mother of point. ithink that that's house of commons and the mother of point. i think that is|at's house of commons and the mother of point. i think that is being the point. i think that is being missed here so far, that that by allowing pressure of the mob allowing the pressure of the mob on local people, we saw, didn't we? more a tory mp quitting over fear of his own safety by allowing pressure on mps to dictate what the speaker chooses in the house of commons, the mob is allowed to win and that's why i think his defence is weak at the moment must be strengthened. >> chris, i think you're absolutely bang on the money there, very much there, mate. thank you very much for up so well for for summing it up so well for us. and course, we'll come us. and of course, we'll come back throughout back to you throughout the show. and joined the studio and i'm joined now in the studio by the new by the director of the new culture , peter whittle. culture forum, peter whittle. peter um, you got off the mark on this early doors today. yesterday we were saying on the show gaza as poisoned our streets now has it poisoned the mother of all parliaments ?

mother of all parliaments? >> well, what's happened is that what's been basically a matter of intimidation by islamism in this country over about the past 20 years has finally reached . 20 years has finally reached. parliament, and that's why they're taking it seriously. >> i mean, i think that when you they're taking it seriously. >> i ataan, i think that when you they're taking it seriously. >> i at what'shink that when you they're taking it seriously. >> i at what's happening'hen you they're taking it seriously. >> i at what's happening there ou they're taking it seriously. >> i at what's happening there ,u look at what's happening there, um, and all the shenanigans which most people will look at at home just be appalled by, at home and just be appalled by, um, the fact is, it sort of rather mask what i would see as the issue . the real issue. >> that basically , >> and that is that basically, uh, mps, labour mps particularly, and some tories are being increasingly, uh, into dated, as chris said there, i think not by people outside but locally , you know, and the locally, you know, and the general atmosphere is one of intimidation . intimidation. >> this is the real issue. the problem is really martin, is that, uh, the house of commons has got a record of basically ignonng has got a record of basically ignoring the real issue when sir david amess was murdered, what happened? >> the column the commons talked

about social media, the dangers of social media. similarly, when mike freer stood down because of intimidation, you know, the mp for finchley, uh, quite recently, i think this speaker said something like , uh, you said something like, uh, you know, we've all got to be nicer to each other. in other words, totally missing the point. i mean, whether it is a school teacher in batley going into hiding, he's still in hiding for showing his pupils cartoons of muhammad. right up to this very week, where william shawcross, who wrote the report about prevent, you know, the anti—terrorist strategy, said that in fact, uh, fear of being considered islamophobic meant that actually it wasn't being effective. this is going through our whole society as is indeed a form of sectarian ism that is the most worrying thing of all. and it's related to this , and i and it's related to this, and i think you're bang on. >> and i think people are afraid to call this out. and we also

saw this with the grooming gang scandals and you're right, we're covering the shawcross report later show, islamic later on in the show, islamic extremism , um, being allowed to extremism, um, being allowed to fester and to flourish because we're afraid to call it out. and i was in that crowd yesterday at parliament coming to a bit parliament coming to that a bit later, was assaulted in later, i was i was assaulted in that crowd. were putting up that crowd. they were putting up placards early doors of your grandchildren will know how you voted today . and i said to chris voted today. and i said to chris hope yesterday at that point, they're be terrified in they're going to be terrified in there they vote. it's a there of how they vote. it's a matter of record and matter of public record and they've do their they've got to go and do their surgeries in their surgeries or be in their constituencies. it's not just the we've seen. rachel the tory mps we've seen. rachel reeves harassed on the street. sir chased sir keir starmer chased off a train, angela rayner harassed on the campaign trail. if you don't stop the mob , the mob ends up stop the mob, the mob ends up controlling the country . controlling the country. >> but problem is, is >> yes, but the problem is, is that basically, as i said, this has been going on for a very long time. appeasement does not work . we've just seen a massive work. we've just seen a massive piece appeasers aren't happening. >> so what's the answer? well all i mean, basically two things i actually to that, i would say actually to that,

um, first of all, martin, uh , um, first of all, martin, uh, you've got to have i would say you've got to have i would say you might think it's unrelated, but it's not a complete halt to any migration, because any further migration, because that's of all of that's the very root of all of this you've got to have. this that you've got to have. >> they've basically >> and they've got to basically stop appeasing and start well, not being cowards because people have been living with this now for a long time in all these different areas life . different areas of life. >> and, peter, new laws are often bandied about. but i was witnessing last night new laws, for example, to remove face masks were simply not being upheld because there's the there might be the bill, there isn't the will. and if you don't stop this aggro at grassroots level on the streets last night outside parliament, it just grows and grows and grows and it will take over. >> well, but there's >> well, yes, but there's something worrying something much more worrying coming line, is coming down the line, which is when have a labour when we have a labour government, will government, which we will probably , uh, going probably, uh, they're going to embed in legislation a particular new definition of what's known as islamophobia , what's known as islamophobia, which is so wide that, frankly, it seems that any criticism ,

it seems that any criticism, actually, of islam will almost be out of bounds. these things are related. i think that the crucial point about now for, uh, really, martin, is, is that we must not be waylaid by what is essentially a political argument that's going on between the parties and why one wasn't allowed to have their debate and allowed to have their debate and all of that. uh, what we are seeing is basically , uh, the seeing is basically, uh, the influence of growing sectarianism , um, is having on sectarianism, um, is having on our political culture and now, obviously in parliament, too, it's very dangerous. >> peter whittle, thought provoking, forthright . right. provoking, forthright. right. excellent as ever. thank you very much for joining excellent as ever. thank you very much forjoining us on the very much for joining us on the show. superb start to this hour. now during a visit to a train depotin now during a visit to a train depot in sussex today, sir keir starmer was asked about the claims that he threatened speaker sir lindsay dole to select labour's amendment to that debate . and here's that gaza debate. and here's what sir keir had to say. >> i can categorically tell you that i did not threaten the speaker in any way whatsoever. i

simply urged him to ensure that we have the broadest possible debate and your mps, the broadest possible debate, um, so that actually the most important thing , which that actually the most important thing, which is that actually the most important thing , which is what do we do thing, which is what do we do about the awful situation in gaza, could be properly discussed by mps with a number of options in front of them. that's the right thing to do . that's the right thing to do. the speaker did the right thing in making sure the debate was broad. >> well, last night thousands of pro—palestine protesters descended on westminster to put pressure on mps to support a suspension of fighting in gaza. and i decided to join them. in fact, that's my way home. why don't we have a look at how i got on? listen, if i was to come up . up. for so as you can see, i was egged by a young woman on who

was at the protest through two eggs at me. one missed my head, one got me. before that i'd been showered with liquid. i hope it was water. who knows what's going moment with going on at the moment with abdul streets? this abdul ezedi on the streets? this started when i left work and i saw images being projected onto big ben. you can see them on screen there. it said , stop screen there. it said, stop bombing gaza. it said, from the river to the sea. pro palestine messages being projected onto big ben, the tower of westminster. this is a criminal offence. i know this because i know the law. there's the projector. i walked over and it's a small implement. look it's a small implement. look it's no bigger than a small motorcycle battery on a tripod, projecting as you see. i pan over and it's on there. and the world was seeing the shameful messages . world was seeing the shameful messages. this isn't world was seeing the shameful messages . this isn't allowed. messages. this isn't allowed. i know that, because i've looked into it in the past. a law was passed in 2016 when anti—brexit messages were routinely being broadcast onto parliamentary buildings . i broadcast onto parliamentary buildings. i told the coppers

there this is an offence. when are you going to go and stop these lads and they said, oh, somebody else is going to deal with it. offence number one, ignored . here's what a young man ignored. here's what a young man has to say me. the has to say to me. the conversation fascinating , conversation was fascinating, blah blah blah. >> arrest him. the intellectual love, love love love the greens of britain love blah blah blah , of britain love blah blah blah, blaise pascal blah blah blah blah blah. >> you would get more sense out of a house. brick i've had better conversations with my cat , but the fact of the matter is, previous to that, a bloke with a ski mask had walked past. i said to a policeman in attendance last week , mate, laws were last week, mate, laws were passed £1,000 on the spot. fine or a month in jail to remove those masks. it's a criminal offence buttressing laws that were passed to the public order act in 2015, the policeman did not want to know the bloke simply walked off. second offence. then a bloke walked over the road and showered me with water. as i said, he

previously verbally abused me. i can't even show those clips. and then the eggs came and as you saw, the copper took two strides towards that. that young lady, she didn't even run. she didn't even walked he had even jog. she walked off. he had no interest whatsoever in nicking her two tier policing on the streets . as that mob outside the streets. as that mob outside influence. what goes on inside parliament? i think we're losing control of our streets. and i think that's because the police don't give a monkeys. that's just me . now you're watching or just me. now you're watching or listening to news coming up. listening to gb news coming up. civil servants are demanding a four week . and get four day working week. and get this, they went for the pay this, they went for the same pay plus bonus holiday on top. what planet are they i'll speak planet are they on? i'll speak to conservative smith to conservative mp greg smith for thoughts. next on this. for his thoughts. next on this. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel .

the socialist dream of the four day week. it's been bandied about for years and years and years now. it could become reality. it could . although, you reality. it could. although, you know, in some parts of the civil service, four days a week might actually be aspirational rather than limiting . yeah, the country than limiting. yeah, the country does have big challenges as we've come out of covid, as we're on our own we're facing war on our own continent, seeing for continent, as we're seeing for foreign office civil servants, you know, conflicts all around the world, we need civil servants to be doing their job. we need them to have rocket boosters underneath them, delivering the services domestically and the things that we need them to be doing with the foreign office and the ministry of defence on a daily basis, week, just basis, a four day week, just just can i ask just doesn't cut it. can i ask you question about the you another question about the political mindset? we know the unions are left twas unions are are left wing. twas ever thus . but the department ever thus. but the department for environment, ever thus. but the department for environment , food ever thus. but the department for environment, food and rural affairs has also got a four day week and they say it will boost staff wellbeing. well of course it would. having a day off a week. but we know you and i, the taxpayers their taxpayers still pay their salaries, but they want this to

fact found out about the proposed plans via social media. so is it any wonder that we've been seeing outcry now that, as you mentioned, there has been vandalism on some of the proposed properties and the council have , uh, they've gone council have, uh, they've gone against that. they've said that they don't agree with that , but they don't agree with that, but they don't agree with that, but they have also made it so that they have also made it so that the plans have now been paused. there's a meeting taking place here in millom tonight where the local residents are hoping to find out some more information . find out some more information. we spoke to a few of them out here in millom earlier today, and this is what had to say. >> we've been told by people from whitehaven that they're emptying the waverley hotel and the 150 people were being sent to millom from the waverley hotel . so if that's true, we hotel. so if that's true, we know there's at least 20 properties that they tried to buy. >> first of all, how many people are going to come in and what they're going to do because there's not enough in millom for

there's not enough in millom for the people that are already here. >> i don't agree with it because nobody knew anything about it. >> we should have had more warning to what was happening. the government spoke the government should have spoke to council . to their local council. >> i think that second gentleman there really touched on one of there really touched on one of the crucial issues that people in millom are concerned about, and that's the infrastructure here in this small seaside town. they've only got a population of about 5500. so i think they're concerned about how potentially asylum seekers moving in here would affect them . now, of would affect them. now, of course, it's the home office that are responsible for housing asylum seekers. so we did reach out to them for comment. and this is what they to say. this is what they had to say. we've always been upfront about the pressure being the unprecedented pressure being put our asylum 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

housing for asylum seekers, and we are continuing to work closely with local authorities, including in millom, to manage any impact in the area and address local concerns . now, i'm address local concerns. now, i'm sure that will be a topic of conversation at this meeting here in millom tonight as local residents will want to know exactly how the home office plans to strike that balance between housing, asylum seekers potentially here in the small town, and also keeping them happy. >> sophie reaper has a fantastic report , great reporting, report, great reporting, speaking to locals , giving them speaking to locals, giving them a voice. that's what this channel does. also worth adding no dentists in that town. the nearest manned police station 45 minutes away. nearest hospital 40 minutes away . 123 people on 40 minutes away. 123 people on the housing list. they can't get a home and now they're being pnced a home and now they're being priced out of the market as the government hoovers up empty properties, we're going to make sure we stay on that story and give those locals a voice. thank you very much . now, a new gb you very much. now, a new gb news series , innovation britain. news series, innovation britain. we looking the successes we are looking at the successes of british manufacturing around

hardest people to come forward because actually, they think they should be able to cope without somebody else's help. it takes men two years to come forward , if ever at all, for forward, if ever at all, for therapy . and three quarters of therapy. and three quarters of suicides are men. so i'm passionate about changing that. >> the atrocities witnessed never leave those who have served . but the hope here is for served. but the hope here is for veterans not to suffer in silence . silence. >> anna riley . gb news. >> anna riley. gb news. >> anna riley. gb news. >> yeah, an important and moving story to our veterans. the very best of british. now the independent reviewer of provence at the government's anti—terror programme has warned the public faces an increased threat of islamist terrorism and extremism because the government is simply not doing enough to tackle them. and there were also warnings that the failure to take tougher action was fuelling a dangerous rise in anti—semitism , and this rise in anti—semitism, and this inaction stemmed from a continuing bias would prevent towards tackling the rise in

right wing terrorism, rather than the main threat of islamist terrorism. well we can now speak with gb news report for charlie peters on this , charlie, another peters on this, charlie, another report concluding inactivity against islamic terror is because people are afraid of being called racist. >> well, this comes just a day after james cleverly, the home secretary, said in its progress report in reaction to the shawcross review that prevent had returned to its core mission prevent is the public sector duty on public bodies such as schools , hospitals and nurseries schools, hospitals and nurseries to refer people to its agents if they fear there is a risk of extremism. it is the counter extremism, legal duty. but a day after early yesterday, william shawcross respond to james cleverly's progress report by saying that the glass was only half full and the public is still at risk .

half full and the public is still at risk. in last year's review, he said that the prevent duty had lost sight of its purpose and said that they had overestimated the impact of far right terror and underplayed islamist extremism . and it comes islamist extremism. and it comes sir william's comments , just sir william's comments, just hours ahead of many parliamentarians, reportedly cowering in fear inside westminster, as so many protesters gathered outside . of protesters gathered outside. of course, martin, you had your own run in with those protesters last night, sir william said that the proposal to tackle hamas had not been engaged with appropriately , and he said that appropriately, and he said that hamas organise raises and sympathises , had not had a sympathises, had not had a sufficient level of focus. and he said that prevent and the police should have been working much harder to deal with them . much harder to deal with them. and there are unfortunately quite a lot of their supporters in this country. well, analysts and experts i've been speaking to throughout the day in

reaction to sir william's comments, said that last night's events very much raise reinforced his analysis and indeed they argued that the months and months of failed policing into the incidents we've seen on the streets of britain and in particular in london, had emboldened those who went out last night. one researcher actually pointed out that the review into prevent last year found that the prevent it research department, its unit there hadn't done any work on hamas in years and had failed to update its processes on anti—semitism . for their part, anti—semitism. for their part, the home office say that they've actually passed 30 of sir william's 34 recommendations, but those responses from sir william yesterday very much drawn into the limelight after last night's events in westminster . westminster. >> charlie peters, as ever an excellent summary of another report concluding once again that a public body is too afraid to actually tackle the problem through fear of being called

islamophobic or racist. how long is this going to continue ? we is this going to continue? we saw disgraceful scenes on on the streets last night. the poison in now infecting part element and the government's own anti terror body too afraid to grasp the nettle to deal with the truth because of this undercurrent of fear of being exposed as being racist . it's exposed as being racist. it's absolutely out of control. we can only hope this will be a wake up call. now we've got lots more coming in the next hour. you're watching and listening to gb news. plenty more coming up, including the latest pressure on sir lindsay hoyle, now called just stop hoyle. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel . news channel. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar , sponsors of weather on . solar, sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> good afternoon . welcome to >> good afternoon. welcome to your latest gb news weather update with me, annie, from the

gets to 100 by monday, the speaker will have real, real problems surviving. and there could this motion in, in the could be this motion in, in the commons there to the commons there to debate the future of speaker. highly future of the speaker. highly embarrassing and possibly fatal for of staying on, for his chances of staying on, staying , very staying on very, very complicated. um very bubbly. not really an issue to concern the wider country. more about the febrile nature of parliament and this place is facing an election yeah this place is facing an election year. and this is the kind of thing that happens. lots of stuff happens. it's controversial . it's a fast and controversial. it's a fast and furious, but that's politics in the 21st century. >> chris, yesterday we were remarking upon the fact that the mob that was gathering outside parliament holding up placards saying such things as as your grandchildren will know how you voted with the implication we've seen , um, politicians being seen, um, politicians being harassed out of office, firebombs , threats, um, arson firebombs, threats, um, arson attacks. in the case of mike fryer rachel reeves being harassed on the campaign trail from the labour party, sir keir starmer himself being chased off

a train in scotland , angela a train in scotland, angela rayner getting street level harassment is this an indication , you think, that the mob outside and the poison from the streets is now infecting parliamentary actions inside ? parliamentary actions inside? and chris, if so, that's an extremely worrying thing . well extremely worrying thing. well i don't think that we know that that's what lindsay hoyle said. >> he said he was aware of the pressure on mps , the pressure on pressure on mps, the pressure on particularly labour mps representing muslim areas , areas representing muslim areas, areas where there might be lots of campaigners for the for the palestinians against israel . and palestinians against israel. and he's aware of that pressure and he's aware of that pressure and he therefore he felt that labour mps should have a vote, not be forced to vote for the snp motion and that would, of course, have to some mps course, have led to some mps resigning from frontbench of resigning from the frontbench of that, party, the that, of that of that party, the labour or for the labour party or for the government position, which is much as where the much not as strong as where the snp wanting to go. he wanted snp are wanting to go. he wanted to give them a third way, a third option and by doing that he to vote

he allowed them to vote for something but problem something ing. but the problem is, meant other is, it meant the other two parties cried foul and parties have cried foul and walked off the pitch and said this a fair this guy isn't being a fair deaung this guy isn't being a fair dealing us. that's why dealing with us. and that's why the today are saying there's the snp today are saying there's no confidence in the no got no confidence in the speaken no got no confidence in the speaker. do his speaker. he's trying to do his best. he's a decent man. the speaker , as penny mordaunt, speaker, as penny mordaunt, the leader commons, leader of the house of commons, said this morning the problem is he's utter mess here he's got into an utter mess here by trying to by by trying to do right by everybody. that's not how politics of politics works. they a lot of tory mps tell me have tory mps tell me they have been made against made to vote against the government unpalatable government or do unpalatable votes , and that voting that is votes, and that voting that is then clipped up on social media by labour used to damage them locally. they see it used against them. as soon as labour feels the heat of a difficult opposition debate , they get opposition day debate, they get helped up by the speaker and that's tory that's why, in a nutshell, tory mps are so crossed. but you're absolutely to go out to absolutely right to go out to your point, um, there is your point, martin. um, there is pressure outside this pressure on mps outside of this place, and that's being felt place, and that's now being felt in the commons chamber. and that's what people geoffrey that's what people like geoffrey cox about , are cox are cross about, are concerned that's why concerned about. and that's why they speaker got they think the speaker has got a lot of , um, uh, apologies thing

lot of, um, uh, apologies thing to do. maybe not go . certainly to do. maybe not go. certainly sir geoffrey cox and others think he should. he should stay . think he should. he should stay. >> okay. chris hope astonishing scenes. astonishing. thank you very much for that update. a lot of people will be will be asking themselves who's actually themselves today who's actually running country if the vote running this country if the vote if the speaker, if they're succumbing to the mob on the streets . this is the thin succumbing to the mob on the streets. this is the thin end of something dark and dangerous, would, of course, keep a close eye on that story throughout the rest of show. now, with all rest of the show. now, with all the political chaos that has engulfed the house commons engulfed the house of commons over hours, a lot of over the last 24 hours, a lot of attention will undoubtedly be taken the issue that was taken off the issue that was being debated in the chamber whether the uk should call for an immediate ceasefire in the israel—hamas war, but does israel—hamas war, but does israel even care what british political parties have to say about a ceasefire ? after all, about a ceasefire? after all, why should they? well, let's find out now because i'm joined by gershon baskin. he was a hostage negotiator. thank you very much for joining hostage negotiator. thank you very much forjoining us, gershon. so the british parliament now has also done its

bit virtue signalled there should be a ceasefire . add to should be a ceasefire. add to the united nations, add to the red cross. add to south africa. the big question is gershon, will israel even care ? will israel even care? >> i think that in general, israel cares about public opinion, but israel wants to see fair public opinion. israel if israel is being called to on a halt its fire in the gaza strip , halt its fire in the gaza strip, it wants to know that the world is also demanding that hamas release all the israeli hostages. 134 people still being held by hamas , women, children, held by hamas, women, children, elderly people , uh, soldiers elderly people, uh, soldiers taken from their homes from a music festival . i think it's music festival. i think it's also important to note that the world should be concerned that the gaza strip should not be ruled by hamas anymore . hamas ruled by hamas anymore. hamas crossed a red line on october seventh that separated it from the rest of humanity, and we can no longer tolerate hamas being the ruling government in the gaza strip , the ruling government in the gaza strip, and this needs to be

factored in. of course , i want factored in. of course, i want to see a ceasefire. i want to see but the war see this war ended, but the war can't end as as gaza is can't end as long as gaza is being controlled by hamas . being controlled by hamas. >> and gershon, we spoke to colonel richard kemp yesterday . colonel richard kemp yesterday. he's the former commander of the british army . he wrote a very british army. he wrote a very powerful piece saying the people who most want to ceasefire are hamas , and they'll be delighted hamas, and they'll be delighted by the fact that the british parliament is giving credence to the idea of a ceasefire. the benefactors of all of this are hamas terrorists . astonishing hamas terrorists. astonishing situation . situation. >> i think it's true that hamas definitely wants a ceasefire and they would benefit from it. but we also need to think about the 2.2 million people living in the gaza strip . many women and gaza strip. many women and children and innocent people, non—combatants who are suffering terrible, who have lost their homes, who are now cramped into 20% of the gaza strip in the south prior to an israeli invasion of the last city in the gaza strip . i think the world gaza strip. i think the world needs concerned about the needs to be concerned about the situation. this conflict, which

used to just concern the israelis and the palestinians now concerns regional security and international security. the security of the globe is threatened by this conflict , and threatened by this conflict, and the international community needs to weigh in. i would be happy to hear in the united kingdom saying, we are prepared now to recognise the state of palestine not as a reward for terrorism , but understanding terrorism, but understanding that the two state solution must be implemented and the best way to defeat hamas is by giving the palestinian people what hamas has been against. the two state solution recognise the state of israel and the state of palestine, and pushing israelis and palestinians to get back to the table to get this done . the table to get this done. >> and gershon, one suggestion put forward by colonel kemp, which doesn't seem to be on the table of joe biden or the british parliament, is the nofion british parliament, is the notion of a humanitarian solution where cities are allowed, at least temporarily , allowed, at least temporarily, into egypt. so the idf can go into egypt. so the idf can go into rafah and finish off hamas.

but that doesn't seem to be an opfion but that doesn't seem to be an option to western liberals. they seem to think that the ceasefire should be a blanket ceasefire. which of course, would allow hamas regroup and re—attack hamas to regroup and re—attack right . right. >> of course, egypt needs to be consulted on this in that it would have to open its territory . the egyptians are afraid that the temporary removing of palestinians from gaza would be permanent, and they would become responsible for 2 million people and that the palestinian issue would once again be thrown off on neighbours of facilitating an ethnic cleansing of a territory which is palestinian . which is palestinian. >> okay . and as we have you >> okay. and as we have you here, gershon, you are a hostage negotiator. can you tell us the latest about the hostage situation? we had the cousin of one of the young women still inside gaza on the show for a couple of weeks ago, an incredibly moving story, of course, largely forgotten about by the media. >> right. well, the president biden's senior aide, brett mcgurk , is in the area, and he's

mcgurk, is in the area, and he's pushing israel to show up at another meeting in paris. it probably tomorrow with the head of the cia and the head of egyptian intelligence, the qatari prime minister, um, the israeli head of the mossad. there seems to be a possibility of a breakthrough. i hope it's there seems to be a possibility of a itheythrough. i hope it's there seems to be a possibility of a ithey are ugh. i hope it's there seems to be a possibility of a ithey are talkingope it's there seems to be a possibility of a ithey are talking abouts true. they are talking about a pause in the fighting and not an end to the war. in exchange for the release of civilian hostages and israeli and palestinian prisoners from israel . we all prisoners from israel. we all need a break in this war, and we need a break in this war, and we need to get those hostages home as soon as possible. superb positive note to end on there. >> gershon baskin , a hostage >> gershon baskin, a hostage negotiator. thank you very much for joining us on gb news. forjoining us on gb news. fascinating stuff. thank you. thank you. now, last night, thousands of pro palestine protesters descended on westminster to put pressure on mps to support a suspension of fighting in gaza. and i decided to go along and join them. well, why don't we have a look at what's happened ? if was to what's happened? if i was to pull up ? pull up? >> closer .

pull up? >> closer. for yeah. >> closer. for yeah. >> as you can see, i was egged by a political extremist . and by a political extremist. and the police simply took two strides towards her and pivoted away. had no interest whatsoever. and why don't i walk you now through some of what else was going on last night for starters, this is what i saw when i left work. a projection being cast onto big ben . upon being cast onto big ben. upon closer inspection, you can see it was saying stop the war, stop the bombs, and also from the river to the sea. pro—palestinian messages are being projected onto to the elizabeth tower. big ben, and thatis elizabeth tower. big ben, and that is an offence . i know that that is an offence. i know that because a law came in in 2016 prohibiting this, because images were being projected onto parliament about anti—brexit . so parliament about anti—brexit. so why don't i show you another one here? because i eventually went to find out where this projection was coming from. it

was on the green opposite parliament. you can see there in the distance. so i walked over. there it is. it's a device. no bigger than motorcycle battery bigger than a motorcycle battery on a tripod, lashed on to the barrier. and as you can see now , barrier. and as you can see now, it projects all the way over onto elizabeth tower . big it projects all the way over onto elizabeth tower. big band. itold onto elizabeth tower. big band. i told the police repeatedly about this. i said, what are you going to do? this is an offence. go and remove it. the world's media will see these images and they didn't even do that . they they didn't even do that. they didn't do it. and so then i went over and i saw men in full face balaclavas , and i pointed out to balaclavas, and i pointed out to officers in attendance that this is an offence. february the 8th laws were passed in the public order act preventing full face coverings at these protests because it's how criminals avoid detection through cctv, facial recognition , you name it. the recognition, you name it. the police had no interest whatsoever in arresting that guy , despite the fact i pointed it out to him and then later after that, they threw fluids at me, which thankfully was water. they

threw eggs at me and they recorded it as an assault. but no one has got them. and i put images out there that i'm being pressed through, uh, file for an assault . okay, let's move on. assault. okay, let's move on. prime minister rishi sunak reiterated his government's position by calling for an immediate humanitarian pause in gaza while on a visit to north wales today. well what happened in the house of commons last night is very concerning. >> it seems that the usual processes , and the way that the processes, and the way that the house of commons works were changed. >> now, my understanding is that the speaker has apologised for that and is going to reflect on what happened. >> speaker sir lindsay hoyle said that made decision said that he made that decision to amendment and out to allow this amendment and out of concern to see dougie beattie didn't good question . didn't another mp good question. >> do accept that >> do you accept that explanation ? explanation? >> said, i think the >> as i said, i think the speaker as speaker has apologised as my understanding what happened understanding for what happened last because usual last night because the usual ways which parliament works ways in which parliament works were changed and that is concerning. speaker said concerning. the speaker said he's on that. he's going to reflect on that. the substance of and the the substance of this and the government's is very government's position is very clear. we want see an

clear. we want to see an immediate what's immediate pause in what's happening in gaza so that we can get more aid in and, crucially, get more aid in and, crucially, get the hostages out , including get the hostages out, including the british hostages and we can use that as a foundation to build a sustainable, lasting ceasefire. but that involves hamas having no part to play in future governance of gaza. we're also increasing our aid right now. just last night for the first we dropped aid by first time, we dropped aid by air into a hospital in northern gaza , making a difference on the gaza, making a difference on the ground need that help. >> do you accept the >> so do you accept the speaker's explanation? does he >> so do you accept the speaiyourexplanation? does he >> so do you accept the speaiyour backing,on? does he >> so do you accept the speaiyour backing, sir, does he >> so do you accept the speaiyour backing, sir, ases he have your backing, sir, as i said, what happened in parliament last night was concerning usual concerning because the usual ways in which parliament works were changed. >> my understanding is that were changed. >> speaker' understanding is that were changed. >> speaker' un(apologised is that were changed. >> speaker' un(apologised for:hat were changed. >> s happened (apologised for:hat were changed. >> s happened andlogised for:hat were changed. >> s happened and isjised for:hat were changed. >> s happened and is reflectingat what happened and is reflecting on that. but i think the important point here is that we should never let extremists intimidate us into changing the way in which parliament works. parliament is an important place for us to have these debates. and just because some people may want to stifle that with intimidation or aggressive behaviour, should not bend to behaviour, we should not bend to that change how parliament

that and change how parliament works. that's a very slippery slope. not right way to go. >> some of your mps are calling on government bring on the government to bring forward on forward their own debate on gaza, that party can gaza, so that each party can have will you do have their say. will you do that? the government's that? well, the government's position very clear we position is very clear what we want an immediate want to see is an immediate humanity pause humanity in pause in hostilities, will allow us hostilities, which will allow us to get the hostages out, including the british hostages, but get more into but also get more aid into people who need it. >> and we can use that immediate pause the pause to then build the conditions for a sustainable ceasefire , which can last. and ceasefire, which can last. and that means hamas crucially having and that means hamas, crucially, not any role crucially, not having any role to in gaza, but right here to play in gaza, but right here and now , we are getting more aid and now, we are getting more aid in. yesterday , we dropped in. just yesterday, we dropped by air for the first time. aid into northern gaza, into a hospital together with the jordanians, is making jordanians, that is making a difference on the ground. thank you. and you. thank you very much. and that was the prime minister, you. thank you very much. and that isunak, prime minister, you. thank you very much. and that isunak, in ime minister, you. thank you very much. and that isunak, in north inister, you. thank you very much. and that isunak, in north wales , rishi sunak, in north wales, talking about the gaza ceasefire and in parliament and the calamity in parliament yesterday, we should yesterday, saying we should never pressure us never let extremists pressure us into we in parliament. into how we work in parliament. >> well, many may think that that genie is out of the bottle

was leaked on social media, of all things. so it's no wonder, really, that there has been outcry from the local community. however, they have disparaged the anti social behaviour and the anti social behaviour and the vandalism that has taken place on some of the proposed properties . place on some of the proposed properties. uh, we place on some of the proposed properties . uh, we spoke earlier properties. uh, we spoke earlier to the chair of the 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 been heading down this hmo route. and that's totally inappropriate for a town of this size. we absolutely get that. the government has to house these people, we actually these people, and we actually get that. they want to disperse them across country in all them across the country in all communities. but it needs to be appropriate and suitable for the community. and what was planned for millom is definitely not suitable this . community. suitable for this. community. >> and i think the word appropriate is the crucial word there. of course, this is a

very, very small coastal town. they have a population of around 5700. so it's the infrastructure thatis 5700. so it's the infrastructure that is concerning a lot of millom's residents. you mentioned earlier, martin, about the lack of dentist and the difficulty to get doctor's appointments. and these are the kind of things that are concern ing the people of millom. and i think what's think that is exactly what's going voiced at the going to be voiced at the meeting the plans have meeting tonight. the plans have been paused for now, but going forward it's going to be really quite difficult to get balance quite difficult to get a balance between the home office who say they responsibility they have a responsibility to safely house asylum seekers , safely house asylum seekers, whilst also balancing that with the needs of millom as a small town with a deficient infrastructure . infrastructure. >> sophie reaper excellent reporting. i said this to you over the last hour. i'm so chuffed that we get up there and give these people a voice because they are voiceless. nobody listens to them. and just to further information to add some further information to add some further information to said there, sophie, to what you said there, sophie, it's 45 minutes to the nearest manned police station, 40 minutes to the nearest hospital .

minutes to the nearest hospital. the infrastructure isn't there. the infrastructure isn't there. the locals weren't consulted. 123 locals on the housing lists . 123 locals on the housing lists. they're simply being ignored, shoved to the back of the queue. sophie reaper great stuff and we'll keep a close eye on this story make sure the home story and make sure the home office listens to the residents of millom now . still lots more of millom now. still lots more to come between now and 5:00. in a moment we'll be discussing a tory mps claims that sky rocketing post—brexit immigration into the uk is making the uk housing crisis worse, and it's driving up rents. yet we've been saying that for absolutely donkey's years . i'm that for absolutely donkey's years. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel .

commons speaker sir lindsay hoyle is fighting to save his political career and his political career and his political life as the snp announced that it has no confidence in him as speaker. this comes as sir keir starmer strenuously denies claims that he threatened mr speaker to select his party's amendment in the gaza ceasefire debate . the gaza ceasefire debate. >> i can categorically tell you that i did not threaten the speaker in any way whatsoever , speaker in any way whatsoever, for i simply urged him to ensure that we have the broadest possible debate, and your mps , possible debate, and your mps, the broadest possible debate . the broadest possible debate. um, so that actually the most important thing, which is what do we do about the awful situation in gaza could be properly discussed by mps with a number of options in front of them. that's the right thing to do.the them. that's the right thing to do. the speaker did the right thing in making sure the debate was . broad was. broad >> now, this year, parts of england will get the chance to elect a regional mayor for the very first time as powers held centrally in westminster are

gradually being given to leaders locally , the successors of locally, the successors of devolution in places like greater manchester and the west midlands has triggered a recognition that decisions on how to spend funding for housing, education and transport perhaps should be made closer to home, like in the east midlands, where residents vote this may. but not everyone welcomes or indeedis but not everyone welcomes or indeed is even aware . of the new indeed is even aware. of the new position. our east midlands reporter, will hollis, has this story . story. >> in an election year, the nation's voice . is amplified nation's voice. is amplified before choosing a prime minister. parts of the country will elect a mayor in the east midlands for the first time. councils in derby and derbyshire, nottingham and nottinghamshire form a new combined county authority . with combined county authority. with the mayor comes new powers to shape the future locally for 2.2 million people. devolution means greater choices on transport, on

skills and education for the environment and housing, but not everybody here is keen on the idea of a new layer of politician in a public consultation held . by councils consultation held. by councils in 2022, fewer than half of people said they were in favour of electing a mayor. >> have you heard of that? no no, i don't know anything about it. sanjeev >> alright, so yeah, definitely for that. >> i think there's always room for someone with perhaps different ideas . as devolution different ideas. as devolution transfers powers held centrally in westminster back to local government wales, scotland and northern ireland have enjoyed devolution since the late 90s. >> in 2000, the greater . devolution since the late 90s. >> in 2000, the greater. london authority was created . since authority was created. since 2015, the west midlands, greater manchester and liverpool city region plus seven other areas have created combined authorities. most with a mayor leading this year that extends

isn't it? an mp on the tory side that's been in government for 14 years actually stating the bleeding if bleeding obvious, which is if you population increase both you get population increase both by longer and also by people living longer and also 750,000 people coming to these shores and contributing to increased population . um, if you increased population. um, if you don't build enough houses. increased population. um, if you don't build enough houses . which don't build enough houses. which we haven't done, by the way, since the 1960s, get what happens? >> that shortage then translates into higher prices. >> i mean, who knew? i mean, who knew that schoolboy schoolgirl economics formula would kind of take hold. >> but but martin, i think the astonishing thing here is that this mp , neil o'brien, and i this mp, neil o'brien, and i bear him no malice. >> i don't know the man, but he used to be the levelling up minister, so he was one of the people responsible specifically for ensuring we think that there should be enough homes built in britain and this government and the previous one and the previous one and the previous one. and by the way , the next one. and by the way, the next one, whoever it's going to be and have catastrophically failed

to ensure that enough housing, whether it be what i call retail housing. so housing that gets sold or whether it's council housing, whether it's social housing, whether it's social housing, whether it's affordable housing, whether it's affordable housing, enough is built to housing, that enough is built to furnish . the population of this country. >> and for these tory mps, including michael gove, the other day, by the way, saying, well , actually, i other day, by the way, saying, well, actually, i think if we don't provide enough housing for our young, we might disenfranchise democratically. >> kidding . but it's >> yeah. no kidding. but it's your been in power your fault you've been in power for years, you muppet it and, for 14 years, you muppet it and, russell, some of the data is astonishing when you look into the detail. >> um, the idea that britain is full because we're smaller is totally backed up in the uk, 38% of households spend more than 40% of their disposable income on housing, versus 25% in the eurozone . and the most eurozone. and the most astonishing piece of information here for me, russell in . london here for me, russell in. london 67% of households are headed up by somebody born overseas . by somebody born overseas. >> yeah, and this is why we call

it a housing crisis, because the consequence of that shortage , consequence of that shortage, the difference between supply and demand is always going to be higher prices. you know, and you know , on the political side know, on the political side here, know i'm on this time as here, i know i'm on this time as a kind of housing commentator on the political side, when you see the political side, when you see the report this week that since 2020, immigration to this country something like country has cost something like £284 billion to the taxpayer because and the gdp of this country, by the way, although it's flat and we are now or we were in q3, q4 last year in recession in gdp per capita . so recession in gdp per capita. so the size of our economy per person has dropped and dropped and dropped because i'm afraid and dropped because i'm afraid and this won't be a popular thing to say, but it happens to be statistically proven as true . be statistically proven as true. our attitude as a country, as a society, as a government , our attitude as a country, as a society, as a government, in terms of bringing in mass migration no matter what the electorate says, is economically stupid because the size of the economy, as a consequence , the

economy, as a consequence, the money that we're paying out for the luxury of having this wonderful cultural integration, martin, that is kind of being forced upon us against the will of many in the electorate. it's simply up simply doesn't add up economically , let alone the economically, let alone the housing. what are we doing? hmm? russell quirk, common sense coming out of your every pore. >> thank you very much for joining as ever. superb joining us. as ever. superb analysis. now it's got a time for a few emails. and the main topic has been last night's protests . um, david says this topic has been last night's protests. um, david says this as the government has lost control and is heading for anarchy. is it time to put army on it time to put the army on standby ? why? as these are very standby? why? as these are very worrying times now, chris, as this martin, you were very brave to walk through the mob with the total lack of police intervention. that is the very brave thing to do. i don't think it was. i just went there on my way home and filmed saw. way home and filmed what i saw. it's job document what's it's my to job document what's going on. my job to going on. it's my job to document are document if the police are standing pelted standing by. as the mob pelted me eggs, with fluids , hurl me with eggs, with fluids, hurl abuse, men in balaclavas ,

astonished saying, 1 in 10 of all conservative. has there been any upward movement on the campaign to just stop hoyle ? campaign to just stop hoyle? well that's 1 campaign to just stop hoyle? well that's1 in 10 of all mps, well that's 1 in 10 of all mps, not just conservatives . not just conservatives. >> that's tories. labour lib dems, snp and the rest i can say the number is now at 67. i've got friends of lindsay hoyle, tory mp , some who have signed tory mp, some who have signed this motion in regret, in sadness. they think it could hit 100 by next week and it will be on the government. what will the government decide to do? because any vote of no confidence in the house of commons will be on government time. we heard earlier mordaunt. earlier from penny mordaunt. she's leader house of she's a leader of the house of commons. made that commons. she made clear that the government point lunch government at that point lunch time, blaming labour for time, was blaming labour for putting pressure on on lindsay hoyle's office. but whether that will hold, given the lukewarm support from minister support from the prime minister just recently in this clip, just dropping earlier, i spoke to shailesh vara. he's one of several who stood against

several mps who stood against sir lindsay hoyle, and i asked him lindsay him how he felt. sir lindsay hoyle . lindsay hoyle had behaved hoyle. lindsay hoyle had behaved in this vote, and whether he felt the increasingly the pressure on mps locally, the so—called mob, as you describe it, martin is having a bearing on what mps discuss here in the house of commons. >> i think we need to be very careful about how the house of commons operates. careful about how the house of commons operates . we shouldn't commons operates. we shouldn't be guided by influences outside that can impact on the proper functioning of parliament. >> parliament is supreme. >> parliament is supreme. >> it is independent isn't, and the debate should be free flowing. they shouldn't be skewered because of protests of one kind or another that are happening outside, because then people would suddenly say, okay, we know how we can manage the system. if we do this and that, then we can make sure that the speaker will take this position rather than the other one. the reality of our politics is that the house of commons debates freely and fairly, and that the speaker is totally, totally

impartial . and i'm afraid what impartial. and i'm afraid what happened yesterday , whatever the happened yesterday, whatever the reasons, the speaker may have well intentioned or otherwise , well intentioned or otherwise, it did look as if it was helping out labour from a very, very big hole and deep hole that they were in. there is a real threat that the mob may be having more of an influence , since in terms of an influence, since in terms of an influence, since in terms of the debate, they can certainly try to influence individuals in terms of their views they have, but they should not be dictating an influencing what actually happens in terms of the debates that we have. those debates should be free and fair, and we should be having them in the greater good and the larger context, rather than in the context of being influenced by small groups . by small groups. >> that's shailesh vara there. martin. he's an mp who stood against sir lindsay hoyle to be the speaker in 2019. and picking up on a point you've raised on your programme, that and in fact

raise also here on the channel by sir geoffrey cox, a former attorney general , earlier that attorney general, earlier that the has happened here is the problem has happened here is that lindsay hoyle said he that lindsay hoyle has said he was about labour and was worried about labour and peace. was worried about labour and peace . having one to vote peace. having no no one to vote for. they express their for. they couldn't express their opinion. were with opinion. they were left with voting policy or voting for an snp policy or a government policy. so he gave them option. by them that third option. but by doing that and did it in regard to their own safety and recognising the pressure on them in local parties. he's in their local parties. he's a really allowed the mob , the really allowed the mob, the groups outside, pressuring mps to show that that pressure has has some fruit in the house of commons, and that can't happen . commons, and that can't happen. and that's why shailesh vara was saying if he was speaker, he wouldn't have bowed to that pressure from labour. >> well, chris, thank you for that. update. >> well, chris, thank you for that . update. from that. update. live from westminster, a lot of people feel that has feel today that the mob has already on that already taken over on that point. let's get the thoughts now the conservative for now of the conservative mp for penistone stocksbridge, penistone and stocksbridge, miriam cates. miriam, thank you so much forjoining on the so much for joining us on the show . so you you are one of the show. so you you are one of the 65 mp5 show. so you you are one of the 65 mps and rising. so far who

has signed that no confidence motion in sir lindsay hoyle. why did you sign the motion to just stop hoyle ? stop hoyle? >> well, good afternoon martin. um, i signed it with a very heavy heart, and i didn't sign it last night because, um , i've it last night because, um, i've got to be honest, it was. it was too painful prospect. i very too painful a prospect. i very much like sir lindsay hoyle. >> been a brilliant speaken >> he's a really, really nice man. he very much takes seriously the concerns of all members of parliament. he's personally helped me with a number of security issues. >> i bear him no ill will >> so i bear him no ill will whatsoever . whatsoever. >> uh, but i do think that the situation yesterday is bigger than about one man. it's about whether or not parliament, whether or not parliament, whether or not the speaker is being influenced unduly by threats, by pressure from outside. um, and unfortunately, the order of debate yesterday, the order of debate yesterday, the order of procedure. absolutely was influenced by threats from outside. now i think we can all understand on a human level , think we can all understand on a human level, uh, that sir lindsay hoyle wants to protect the security of mps. so does sir

keir starmer. those are all admirable , uh, desires. of admirable, uh, desires. of course . but the truth is that , course. but the truth is that, uh, violent extremists, threats from violent extremists are putting so much pressure on mps, particularly labour mps , that particularly labour mps, that sir keir starmer felt that he had to put pressure on lindsay hoyle in order for the votes to go his way . and that's go his way. and that's unacceptable. that's unacceptable. that's unacceptable for our democracy. >> about party >> this is not about party politics. at the end of the day , politics. at the end of the day, the and the speaker's first the mps and the speaker's first duty our duty is to preserve our democracy . democracy. >> incredibly important >> that is incredibly important and yesterday, the integrity of our was threatened. and yesterday, the integrity of our i was threatened. and yesterday, the integrity of our i think was threatened. and yesterday, the integrity of our i think it's threatened. and yesterday, the integrity of our i think it's veryatened. and yesterday, the integrity of our i think it's very serious >> and i think it's very serious . and so think we need to have . and so i think we need to have confidence that speaker will confidence that a speaker will not to that kind of pressure. >> pressure. >> miriam. miriam, i was outside parliament yesterday. i was pelted fluid was pelted with eggs. fluid was thrown over was abused, thrown over me, i was abused, they projecting images, they were projecting images, pro—palestine onto pro—palestine images onto elizabeth tower, the big ben tower. police did absolutely nothing. they had absolutely no interest in stopping this. signs of being held up. um, saying your grandchildren will know how your grandchildren will know how you vote today. the threat from

outside from the mob. miriam is now so big it seems to be poisoning what's going on in the chamber. how can we stamp this out? you're absolutely right. >> and this is why suella braverman, when she was home secretary , called for those secretary, called for those protesters protests to be stopped because they are enabung stopped because they are enabling this radical extremism , enabling this radical extremism, this terrorist supporting anti—jew sentiment on our streets that's enabling people to feel emboldened to target mps, to target people in public life. and this is been going on for over four months now. it's become it's become a stronger and stronger force on our streets. i know british jews who won't go out in london on any more at the weekends, who feel like need leave the like they need to leave the country. that's terrifying country. that's a terrifying prospect. , from prospect. and yesterday, from inside parliament, it was very frightening. we were being told by the house authorities which entrances could couldn't entrances we could and couldn't use for own security, and use for our own security, and i spoke in that debate. i've got to admit , i spoke in that debate. i've got to admit, i thought twice about speaking because speaking in that debate because of my own safety the safety of my own safety and the safety of my own safety and the safety of changed some of

of my family, i changed some of the in that debate i the words in that debate that i used those fears. and used because of those fears. and that's right , used because of those fears. and that's right, you used because of those fears. and that's right , you know, of that's not right, you know, of course, mps should listening course, mps should be listening to the public. we be to the public. we should be listening our constituents, listening to our constituents, but speaking and but we should be speaking and voting of what we voting on the basis of what we think basis think is right, not on the basis of the violence that we, uh, fear might happen to we fear might happen to us if we don't . but the problem that don't. but the problem is that we forward from don't. but the problem is that we we forward from don't. but the problem is that we we can forward from don't. but the problem is that we we can we forward from don't. but the problem is that we we can we can nard from don't. but the problem is that we we can we can argue 'om don't. but the problem is that we we can we can argue about here. we can we can argue about how we've got to this position, whether or not the protest should stopped should have been stopped before now. moment . now. but we are at this moment. we've recognise we've got to recognise nationally that these extremist threats have got hold of our democracy and now we need to work out together how we're going to down on that. and going to clamp down on that. and i that's about i don't think that's about blaming political blaming any particular political party. but we've to work party. but we've got to work together to recognise threat together to recognise the threat together to recognise the threat to democracy that we now to our democracy that we now face, look at how we're face, and to look at how we're going sort out. you're going to sort it out. you're absolutely right to point out it's not. >> e just conservatives. it's not. >>course. just conservatives. it's not. >>course. just freer�*rvatives. it's not. >>course. just freer isatives. of course. mike freer is standing there's murder of standing away. there's murder of david has david amess. rachel reeves has had abuse on the campaign trail. sir keir starmer was harangued off train scotland. angela off a train in scotland. angela rayner has had street level abuse while out campaigning. the

common factor is this growing islamist sentiment, common factor is this growing islamist sentiment , feeling that islamist sentiment, feeling that they're emboldened and they're marching through today , we saw marching through today, we saw that prevent our own terror anti—terror campaign is too afraid to tackle this for fear of being called islamophobic or fear of being called racist . fear of being called racist. miriam, how do we grasp the nettle on this quickly? because a lot of people are thinking that heading towards the that we're heading towards the thin of anarchy . thin end of anarchy. >> i think the first step is for people to be bold enough to describe the threat, to speak it out, to say exactly what what you've just said, to be honest about what's going on here. i think very important. but think that's very important. but secondly, we do need the police think that's very important. but seco to ly, we do need the police think that's very important. but seco to crack do need the police think that's very important. but seco to crack down ed the police think that's very important. but seco to crack down on the police think that's very important. but seco to crack down on what's ice now to crack down on what's happening streets. now to crack down on what's hapweling streets. now to crack down on what's hapwe cannot streets. now to crack down on what's hapwe cannot allowreets. now to crack down on what's hapwe cannot allow genocidal >> we cannot allow genocidal slogans . we cannot allow calls slogans. we cannot allow calls for jihad , for death to jews, for jihad, for death to jews, for jihad, for death to jews, for the destruction of israel to go unpunished on our streets . go unpunished on our streets. >> that's completely wrong. and i think what we need to re—establish is a sense of british democracy, british values. and that means a respect

for parliament, a respect for the rule of law, respect for fairness and freedom. those are the things that people in other countries our parliament countries look to our parliament to uphold. we've got to get to uphold. but we've got to get control back of the streets and i do think those protests need to now. i think the to stop now. i do think the police to down very police need to crack down very hard on any, any anti semitic and uh, terrorist and any, uh, terrorist supporting sympathies that are expressed on the, on the streets. if it's got to the point where elected representative are frightened of what they say in the chamber of the commons, we know the house of commons, we know it's too far and it's got it's gone too far and it's got to stop. >> miriam, when is how can we do this? you keep giving >> miriam, when is how can we do thispolice you keep giving >> miriam, when is how can we do thispolice new'ou keep giving >> miriam, when is how can we do thispolice new bills. ep giving >> miriam, when is how can we do thispolice new bills. butiiving >> miriam, when is how can we do thispolice new bills. but weig the police new bills. but we don't have the will to do it. i saw last night multiple public order offences . men wearing order offences. men wearing masks , stuff being thrown masks, stuff being thrown around, anti semitic sentiment. the police are simply standing by and watching . they've been by and watching. they've been given more powers, but they don't have the will to do it. how can we empower them aside from giving them new laws? how can we make them want to fight for the future of the country?

by for the future of the country? by getting tough at street level ? well, i perhaps i'm old fashioned, but i think it's the elected government and the elected government and the elected parliament that should have power. >> even the police, of >> uh, even the police, of course, we should every course, we should have every respect the police, the respect for the police, but the government respect for the police, but the go the |ment respect for the police, but the gothe police and i think the of the police and i think the home secretary should have the power to compel police to power to compel the police to prevent these marches. and, of course what we know. course, that is what we know. >> uh, the former secretary >> uh, the former home secretary was do to stop the marches. >> and i think that's the first marches. >> athei think that's the first marches. >> athei think secretary first marches. >> athei think secretary should step the home secretary should be the police to be able to compel the police to take particular action on this particular threat to our democracy . but then we need to democracy. but then we need to follow william shawcross's follow up on william shawcross's advice. that he advice. you mentioned that he criticised the government's response prevent review response to his prevent review last we have not last year, that we have not implemented all the actions that he recommended. i think that's the have to the next step. we have got to crack terrorist sympathisers. >> and don't forget, it's not just mps that are under threat here. >> it's not just british jews, it's of british it's the whole of british society, including british muslims who under threat muslims who are under threat from a small number but a very loud number of extremists who are now influencing our

democracy . so, you know, democracy wrongly. so, you know, we it to everybody . the we owe it to everybody. the government to everybody government owes it to everybody to of this. but to take control of this. but stopping marches and making stopping the marches and making sure we follow through on sure that we follow through on those prevent recommendations sure that we follow through on those jbe/ent recommendations sure that we follow through on those jbe ant recommendations sure that we follow through on those jbe a good ommendations sure that we follow through on those jbe a good first endations sure that we follow through on those jbe a good first step.:ions would be a good first step. >> okay. excellent stuff. miriam cates, the conservative mp for penistone stocksbridge. penistone and stocksbridge. thanks much for joining penistone and stocksbridge. thanks much forjoining us thanks very much for joining us on this afternoon. on gb news. this afternoon. thank you very much . now, thank you very much. now, commons speaker lindsay commons speaker sir lindsay hoyle fighting save his hoyle is fighting to save his political career as the snp announced that has no announced that he has no confidence in him as speaker and this comes as sir keir starmer strenuously denies claims that he threatened mr speaker to select his party's amendment in the gaza ceasefire debate . the gaza ceasefire debate. >> i can categorically tell you that i did not threaten the speaker in any way whatsoever . i speaker in any way whatsoever. i simply urged him to ensure that we have the broadest possible debate, and your mps broadest possible debate . um, so that possible debate. um, so that actually the most important thing, which is what do we do about the awful situation in gaza, could be properly

discussed by mps with a number of options in front of them. that's the right thing to do. the speaker did the right thing in making sure the debate was broad. >> well, as i just discussed there with miriam cates last night , thousands of night, thousands of pro—palestine protesters descended on westminster to put pressure on mps to support a suspension of fighting in gaza. and i decided to go along and join them. let's have a look at how it ended up . if i was to how it ended up. if i was to cross . cross. the so that was me being pelted with two eggs by a pro—palestinian supporter, young lady. we got all of it on camera. the police, as you saw, were there. the copper took two strides towards her and simply turned away. he had no interest whatsoever in pursuing her, which led me to believe. whose side are you on? this seemed to me evidence clearly of two tier policing, and that wasn't the

only thing that i saw when i left work. i saw this images being projected onto elizabeth tower, that of course, is the tower of big ben pro palestine ceasefire now from the river to the sea. it also read images of bombs raining down, being projected onto that sacred building. now that is a public order offence. parliament is not a billboard. you need a license to do this. and if you don't apply to do this. and if you don't apply for one, you can't do it. i know that i told the police in attendance, when are you going to go and take control of the situation and look what else i found . i walked over college found. i walked over college green and found the projector. there it is a simple device about the size of a motorcycle battery strap to a tripod on that fence , projecting. as you that fence, projecting. as you can see now, pan around right over on to that tower. i kept repeatedly saying to the police, it's over there, go and take it down. these images will shame us across the world. they had no interest whatsoever in doing it.

i also saw multiple men in balaclava full ski masks recently . on february the 8th, recently. on february the 8th, the police were given beefed up powers thousand pound fine a month in clink for that offence. again i said to police officers, that guy's got a mask on, go and nick him. they simply looked the other way. i was then pelted with water. i hope it was water. who knows what they're throwing around these days with abdul ezedi . around these days with abdul ezedi.i around these days with abdul ezedi . i was egged twice and the ezedi. i was egged twice and the police classified that as an assault. as an assault, but they didn't do anything. why don't i show you another one of these videos ? blah blah blah blah. videos? blah blah blah blah. >> arrest him , blah blah blah. >> arrest him, blah blah blah. the greens of britain , blah blah the greens of britain, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah . blah blah. >> as you can see, you get more sense out of a house brick or a cat. these people don't care about our opinions. they throw

stuff at us, they pelt savateurs, they're intimidate parliamentarians into how they vote. they're affecting our democracy from the streets . the democracy from the streets. the mob seems to be in control. it's about time we took back control. if you ask me. now you're watching or listening to gb news coming up , watching or listening to gb news coming up, civil servants are demanding a four day working week . and get this they want it week. and get this they want it for the same pay with some extra houday for the same pay with some extra holiday on top. what planet are they on? i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel .

asked for a significant shortening of hours without any salary charges. great well, this comes as new research reveals that 86% of staff working a four day week say their performance improved at work. well, jack kellum helped write the report on the uk's four day week pilot, and he joins me now. on the uk's four day week pilot, and he joins me now . welcome to and he joins me now. welcome to the show, jack . um, no surprises the show, jack. um, no surprises that people want to work less days for more pay and more houday. days for more pay and more holiday . but meanwhile, in the holiday. but meanwhile, in the real world, how on earth can this boost performance ? so this boost performance? so i think what we're seeing here with this, uh, demand from civil servants is they're looking at evidence from trials that happening the uk and around happening in the uk and around the world that shorter the world that show shorter working can lead to really working hours can lead to really important improvements in the wellbeing productivity wellbeing and productivity of workers it's for workers. so it's good for workers, not just for good workers, not just for good workers, too . business, >> if you said, i'll study this week showed of around 50 week showed that of around 50 organisations who are trialling a four day week two years ago.

>> yeah, we followed up 12 months later from really successful back in 2023. successful results back in 2023. >> um, almost all of them. >> all, um, almost all of them. about 90% of them are still working. a shorter working week. we've seen the benefits to wellbeing, productivity wellbeing, to their productivity have , and 100% of have been improved, and 100% of the managers and ceos of those organisations say that the four day week is having an important impact on their business. >> so i think we're seeing here with is is with civil servants is a is them looking the evidence? looking at the evidence? right. and day and seeing that the four day working really can work not working week really can work not just them the just for them but for the organisation they work for as well? in principle, you well? um, in principle, you know, great in the private sector but we must sector perhaps, but we must remember sector is remember the public sector is paid for taxpayer. why paid for by the taxpayer. why should people watching this show today who have to work full time all the hours god sends just to make same make ends meet, pay the same wanger out so public servants can put their clogs up one day week. >> so the thing is, it isn't just in principle. >> we've got evidence mounting up, private up, not just in the private sector, but in the public sector to back 2021, released to back in 2021, we released research showing over in iceland how their public sector, the

mental health the new bad back? >> i think to an extent i do agree with this and like yourself, i actually also got into into politics due to charity and, and you know, fundraising and volunteering through that as well. >> when i was a young person and i think that we are in the midst of a mental health crisis, and i think it's particularly hitting young people incredibly hard, i think we have such huge think we have such a huge reliance now on technology and social platforms , and social media platforms, and particularly for our you know, my generation coming out of covid lockdowns and all of those restrictions, i think we've developed such a large reliance on our phones that now we're coming out of these measures that we're dependent on these that we're so dependent on these social media platforms for all of our communications that i think it's actually having a huge young people's huge impact on young people's mental health, particularly on tiktok . when you have these tiktok. when you have these mental health pages that you have young people running have some young people running where talk about their where they talk about their depression anxiety journeys. depression and anxiety journeys. i it's very easy young i think it's very easy for young people to now self—diagnose themselves and conditions they

may not necessarily have. i do believe we are in a mental health crisis in this country, and do something to and we do need something to happen to support these young people and actually help them get the job ladder and get get on the job ladder and get them back work. them back to work. >> well, anna, as well as tiktok and social media addiction and of doctor google self of course, doctor google self diagnosis. there's also the very real notion that people during lockdowns got used to the great giveaway being paid to not work, and they got used to it. and actually now they've realised, well, what's the point? getting out of bed in the morning when i get as much to do get paid just as much to do nothing . nothing. >> yeah, no, i agree and especially coming out of lockdown, one huge thing that we've seen is a lot more workplaces now implementing work from home measures. so when you normally go into the office every day to say hi your every day to say hi to your colleagues, you're we now see so many more people actually working bedroom in working from their bedroom in front , completely front of a screen, completely isolated. no wonder we have isolated. so no wonder we have a mental health crisis in this country we're no longer country when we're no longer even communicating or talking to

each other anymore. and i think that this is definitely something that we've seen, especially coming out of lockdown. we are so much more isolated as a nation when really we should be reaching out to each other more . each other more. >> okay . superb stuff. thanks >> okay. superb stuff. thanks for joining us on the show. anna mcgovern. anna statistic that leapt out of me in this report . leapt out of me in this report. is this a remarkable 280,000 young people in britain, which is the population of milton keynes, now rely on some form of unemployment benefit. now, i know the benefits network is there to help those who have fallen the most, but goodness me , that is an eye—watering number. anna mikhailova , thank number. anna mikhailova, thank you very much for your time this afternoon. now our time is running out on your chance to win running out on your chance to win £118,000 running out on your chance to win £118,000 in cash. cold hard cash tax free and our latest great british giveaway and lions clothes this time tomorrow, friday. so make sure you get your entry in sharpish. and here's how you could win that wonga .

getting their fingers on our fish now bad . vlad is trying to fish now bad. vlad is trying to take our fish and chips. well the earth is going on. >> i think it's a little bit of sabre rattling from, uh, the russians. >> uh, most of our fish comes from the bering sea, which is correct, but nobody fishes in the russian area of the bering sea. that's where cod goes sea. uh, that's where cod goes to grow. so it spawns it in norwegian adds to the norwegian waters. adds to the russian quarter. that's where it grows and then migrates back. and that's when they catch it. that's why vessels that's why russian vessels are still fishing in, uh, norwegian waters. a little bit of waters. so it's a little bit of an threat . but, um, a lot an empty threat. but, um, a lot of the that comes out of of the fish that comes out of russia via china and comes russia goes via china and comes into the into processing factories in the uk tariff . it's the uk without tariff. it's the direct that are affected direct imports that are affected by tariff. got great by tariff. we've got great relations with norwegians, with the faroese, with the icelanders . uh, so there's plenty of fish about and we've nothing to worry about. well that's comforting to know, andrew, indeed that know, andrew, as indeed that food on the screen. >> that's extremely >> now, that's extremely comforting. i know about comforting. i don't know about anybody there. i'm anybody else out there. i'm

drooling looking at that fish supper. drooling looking at that fish supper . i can drooling looking at that fish supper. i can almost hear that batter crunch . and that steam batter crunch. and that steam emerged like a pocket of delight. anyway, sorry , andrew, delight. anyway, sorry, andrew, i sidetracked there . i was getting sidetracked there. the big question is, will this affect the price of a wedge of cod? no there will be no effect at all from this. >> the supply chain is still exists. i mean, america started buying cod and haddock again, which force the back which may force the prices back up.the which may force the prices back up. the us's a little bit in recent times, other costs up. the us's a little bit in recengonees, other costs up. the us's a little bit in recengone up. other costs up. the us's a little bit in recengone up. so, )ther costs up. the us's a little bit in recengone up. so, )the we're; have gone up. so, uh, we're still bit of still under a little bit of pressure, but no, that won't affected at all. but, you know, it's that it's nice it's just great that it's nice that recognise that the russians recognise it as dish, you know, and as an iconic dish, you know, and ihope as an iconic dish, you know, and i hope our government will do the when it's the budget on i hope our government will do the 6th when it's the budget on i hope our government will do the 6th ohoen it's the budget on i hope our government will do the 6th of march, s the budget on i hope our government will do the 6th of march, because dget on i hope our government will do the 6th of march, because itet on i hope our government will do the 6th of march, because it is on the 6th of march, because it is so independent so important that independent restaurants, especially fish and chips, we do play an chips, you know, we do play an important the nation. important role in the nation. and recognised and i hope that's recognised and, andrew, what would you like to see in terms of, you know, when chips are on the table, when the chips are on the table, what would to see from what would you like to see from the government terms of the government in terms of initiatives the fish and initiatives to help the fish and chip sector ? i think they chip sector? i think they definitely need to look at

business rates for larger businesses , but that benefits businesses, but that benefits the national the pub the national chains. the pub chains than benefits the chains more than it benefits the business. uh, i business. like my own. uh, so i think vat is the one thing in the film chest will help the film chest that will help everybody. and that will the film chest that will help every drive and that will the film chest that will help every drive the and that will the film chest that will help every drive the economyt will the film chest that will help every drive the economy asill the film chest that will help every drive the economy as well . help drive the economy as well. and hopefully they something and hopefully they do something for because obviously for consumers because obviously we to have money for consumers because obviously wethe to have money for consumers because obviously wethe pocket. to have money for consumers because obviously wethe pocket. so to have money for consumers because obviously wethe pocket. so um, have money for consumers because obviously wethe pocket. so um, it'sye money for consumers because obviously wethe pocket. so um, it's notioney in the pocket. so um, it's not an task for the chancellor, an easy task for the chancellor, but figure in his but i hope we figure in his thinking now, andrew, andrew, a show, um, a martin daubney show wouldn't be one without me mentioning brexit. >> now our fishing deals are up for renegotiation soon, and that could mean a labour party government being in situ. are you concerned that we might give away more of our fishing rights and road back and get closer to brussels, and that might impact our fishing industry ? we, uh, our fishing industry? we, uh, i think on the south coast they are affected by by the european fishermen. >> i think most of our fish comes from further north. so for fish and chips, we've got great relationships with norwegians , relationships with norwegians, iceland, we've got iceland, and obviously we've got some fishermen some great domestic fishermen that bring about 40,000 that that bring in about 40,000 tonne as so

tonne of white fish as well. so no, i don't think we've got any problems going but problems going forward. but hopefully the kirkella, which is uk registered uh long distance vessel, gets little bit more quarter. >> superb . nice positive end to >> superb. nice positive end to the show. there thank you very much crook . and again i'm much andrew crook. and again i'm just delighted the national just delighted that the national federation of friers even federation of fish friers even exists. i don't know about you, but know what i want for my but i know what i want for my supper tonight. now that we've had tons of emails had absolutely tons of emails come today, was asking you come in today, i was asking you for your thoughts on the scenes outside parliament last night. of course i went down there. i was pelted with eggs and fluids were pelted with were thrown at me, pelted with abuse as well. the coppers, they had interest whatsoever in had no interest whatsoever in arresting anybody. despite the fact they logged it as an assault against me. so they recorded the crime , but it did recorded the crime, but it did not pursue the person who did it, despite the fact it happened literally right in front of them. and you're very concerned about what feels like a descent towards mob rule. i want to read out a few of your emails now , out a few of your emails now, may says this . we should be

may says this. we should be having a vote of no confidence in the chief of police in london. it's his faults that are turning their backs on criminal acts in parliament square. he's absolutely no use. terry as this martin. i'm very shocked to hear you had fluid thrown at you, let alone eggs and the police did absolutely nothing. if the police learned nothing over the last few weeks, considering the abdul ezedi chemical attack . abdul ezedi chemical attack. terry again , as this is terry again, as this is blatantly obvious now that the police have lost control , all of police have lost control, all of london's protesters , they deface london's protesters, they deface big ben with those images you can see on your screen. there last night. and that is beyond belief. when the police refuse to act , this will only end one to act, this will only end one one way. edward adds this we police is only encouraging the mob . it's time they clamp down mob. it's time they clamp down or we will lose our democracy altogether . hunter or we will lose our democracy altogether. hunter adds this is the policing of the streets problem is mainly due to police

being scared stiff of the demonstrators. i saw that with my own two eyes last night. in fact, i said right into the face of a copper. you're meant to police without fear or favour . i police without fear or favour. i think you're showing fear towards the mob and you're policing with favour. what do you think would have happened if i'd have thrown an egg at one of them? what do you think would have if i'd. if have happened to me if i'd. if i'd if i'd i'd resisted or if i'd retaliated , i'd. i think i'd be retaliated, i'd. i think i'd be the one tasting prison food. this morning. and jane adds this. martin, thanks for informing you and gb news what is happening to our once great britain. it feels as if we are being punished for being hospitable and rilla adds this thanks so much for your stance last night outside of westminster, martin, that took a lot of courage. actually, i don't think it did. i was on my way home. i was just doing my job and when a story breaks around instinct to around me, it's my instinct to take pictures and share it take those pictures and share it with you because to tell

with you because we have to tell the can't just listen the truth. we can't just listen to and switch off to the propaganda and switch off our ears and buckle down and watch country away , watch this country wither away, she adds. the way you're treated whilst disgusting, pelted with eggs, abuse and liquids. eggs, verbal abuse and liquids. this country is gone to the dogs. it's a shame the police don't seem to be doing their jobs well. look, thanks to all those comments and in i'll those comments and in fact i'll be on jacob rees—mogg show tonight from 8:00 till nine talking about this . but before talking about this. but before that it's the michelle dewberry show. dewbs& co. that's six till seven and i'll be back here on the martin dormer show. three till 6 pm. tomorrow for a nice happy friday. but until then, have fantastic evening. all have a fantastic evening. all the . best. a brighter outlook the. best. a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> good afternoon . welcome to >> good afternoon. welcome to your latest gb news weather update with me, annie from the met office. there's further heavy rain to push eastwards through rest day, but
