in the studio to discuss all this with our political editor, christopher hope. chris, shall we start with a line that you just got out of number 10 today? and they appear to be backing gb news on the big band situation? >> yeah, the big band situation is they that expression from the river to the sea and it goes on. palestine should be free is charted by pro—palestinian protesters about israel. israel should be swept away. it's a challenge. the state of israel, it's deeply offensive to israel. clearly and to jews living in this country. the police didn't step in and you filmed on step in and you filmed it on your your out there. you your your camera out there. you actually found the projector, didn't you? and you, you, you you the police you said, why aren't the police stepping in and dealing with this? and you screen now this? and you see on screen now the, message the the, the message there on the elizabeth holding the big elizabeth tower holding the big band and bail. but you found a projector. wasn't being projector. it wasn't being challenged should challenged by the police. should the in? the police have stepped in? number asked that today number 10 was asked that today the deputy official the pm's deputy official spokesman, who the spokesman, who speaks for the pm. these are the words that pm. so these are the words that mr sunak would have used were he

being asked. he said there's a distinction between operational policing they were policing and not, but they were making that in making very clear that in in their view it was wrong that these words were projected onto, onto parliament. so they're being very clear. you're feeling of outrage, martin, that you were expressing so eloquently yesterday . and from your filming yesterday. and from your filming on evening after the on wednesday evening after the show has been echoed by number 10, going as 10, but they're not going as far as operation, the police as saying operation, the police should one for them. >> yeah, and it made the front page of today's daily express. so if we've got that imagery, we can show in where i managed to locate projector locate this projector just opposite opposite, um, opposite the green opposite, um, big ben, you can see it there. i i walked straight up to it and you can see it's there. it's a small device just lashed on to the railings. >> could throw a towel over that, or they could grab it. they could unplug it, take it away. that is, you know, you the law is you can't do this. yeah >> so i i'll be honest. i wanted to kick that thing and smash it. >> you can't that, martin. >> you can't do that, martin. >> you can't do that, martin. >> i didn't, i filmed it, and >> no i didn't, i filmed it, and i the evidence and

i got the evidence and i literally went back over the green. i showed it to green. chris and i showed it to officers parliament. said, officers by parliament. i said, look and i pointed out, there it is. there's projector. you can is. there's a projector. you can see of light. said, see the beam of light. i said, go them. they deserve go and nick them. they deserve to be taken off the streets. they are shaming britain. they are world. this has are shaming the world. this has been beamed around the world. and you this an and i said, you know, this is an offence. said, yes, we do. offence. he said, yes, we do. one of our colleagues will deal with they didn't with it. chris. they didn't deal with it. chris. they didn't deal with it there for well with it. it was there for well over hour. people are over an hour. people are outraged and now number 10 agree. >> well, they agree that it was wrong message wrong to display the message on parliament. going wrong to display the message on pa getnent. going wrong to display the message on pa get there going wrong to display the message on pa get there and going wrong to display the message on pa get there and step going wrong to display the message on pa get there and step in going wrong to display the message on pa get there and step in and ng wrong to display the message on pa get there and step in and say to get there and step in and say what the police should operationally. and it were a policeman here. they might say, look, a tense situation look, it was a tense situation when they're stop any when they're trying to stop any kind breaking out. kind of trouble breaking out. they to make it they didn't want to make it worse on worse by stopping words on there, but, you know, there, but that but, you know, there, but that but, you know, the jewish community would say, how the of parliament how can the mother of parliament have language have those that language projected onto it and police do nothing? >> chris, ewan >> and, chris, we've got so much more we'll have more to talk about. we'll have to it till the next hour to leave it till the next hour and we'll talk about suella braverman's astonishing words today islamist and

speaken >> dont speaken >> don't forget, mps say >> don't forget, 69 mps now say he gets he should go if that gets towards 100 monday, he's in towards 100 by monday, he's in real trouble and 5:00 we've got lee anderson the show. lee anderson on the show. >> one of the 69. just stop >> he's one of the 69. just stop hoiles. we'll ask him he hoiles. we'll ask him why he signed that. but let's move on. i'm now by hurley, i'm joined now by kevin hurley, who's head of who's the former head of counter—terrorism city of counter—terrorism at city of london for london police. thank you for joining on the show, kevin. london police. thank you for joining a on the show, kevin. london police. thank you for joining a pleasure.how, kevin. london police. thank you for joining a pleasure. can kevin. london police. thank you for joining a pleasure. can we vin. london police. thank you for joining a pleasure. can we start always a pleasure. can we start with furore over this with this furore over this projector putting those images onto and as i as onto big ben? and now, as i as you may have heard, i was there the night i showed the police the night i showed the police the projector. i said, why aren't you going to take this down? they aside and down? they stood aside and didn't whatsoever. didn't do anything whatsoever. it well over one it was there for well over one hour and it's made the front pages of newspapers. it's been beamed now beamed around the world. and now number 10 are saying it should have removed. can i ask you have been removed. can i ask you why didn't police step in why didn't the police step in and anything at time? and do anything at the time? >> well, i'm so almost >> um, well, i'm so almost certainly it's because the individual gold or bronze bronze commander, as they would call him or her, the person on the ground, probably a chief inspector or possibly a superintendent , either wasn't superintendent, either wasn't

aware or or decided in the interests of preserving tranquillity , decided not to do tranquillity, decided not to do it. i think they're taking the wrong position. police generally, with many, many demonstrations of all sorts going on in the country. there is a case for police being far more robust in the face of anti—semitic behaviour, which this is a clear example of, or people preaching hatred or violence against anyone of whatever creed i think we're just seeing a symptom of what's gone wrong with the police in terms of the leadership feeling it's not appropriate for them to quite frankly, get stuck in. i can understand why that is , can understand why that is, because the police feel , if you because the police feel, if you like, bedevilled on all sides and feel that perhaps they don't have the political or the media support. and of course, whatever they do is captured on the cameras and they're vilified at every turn . i look at some of every turn. i look at some of the headlines i see in newspapers. i think, well, what

do you think you're doing? all you're doing is destroying the morale of the police . we'll all morale of the police. we'll all suffer it. so short , yes, suffer for it. so in short, yes, of the police should have of course the police should have stopped that. it was clearly an anti—semitic statement , very anti—semitic statement, very offensive to probably millions offensive to probably millions of people up and down the uk . of people up and down the uk. but it comes to down why didn't the boss on the ground here or him decide to deal with that ? him decide to deal with that? uh, and i just think we are we've ended up with so many senior police officers who are quite timid in taking action very often . they're officers, very often. they're officers, they're constrained . once they're constrained. once they're constrained. once they're there in a large group deployed as a group of police support unit, as they call it, they have to work under the authority of the bosses who are there. they're inspectors, chief inspectors . and it's inspectors. and it's disappointing to see yet again what i think is a lack of decisive leadership , where the decisive leadership, where the pet phrase will be trolled out. oh, we did it in the interests of preserving tranquillity .

of preserving tranquillity. >> well, kev, i'll tell you, i was losing streets. was losing the streets. >> telling you we're losing was losing the streets. >> streets ing you we're losing was losing the streets. >> streets in] you we're losing was losing the streets. >> streets in london.'e're losing was losing the streets. >> streets in london. well.osing the streets in london. well i wonder if the word losing is appropriate or actually, is it lost because i was there the other night and i was specifically pointing out to individual officers on that beat i >> -- >> that guy 5mm >> that guy is wearing a full face mask. that guy is wearing a full face mask. laws were passed on february the eighth, £1,000 spot a month in jail. you spot fines a month in jail. you have the right to go and ask him to remove it. the police looked absolutely befuddled and confused and utterly disinterested . kevin. and so we disinterested. kevin. and so we have this conversation once again of two tier policing. you kind of feel , kev, that they kind of feel, kev, that they have to stand around and not have to stand around and not have any arrests to keep the count down, to make it look like mostly peaceful. that dreaded phrase . whereas as or misses the phrase. whereas as or misses the day when veterans and patriots went in, they donned the riot gear and they steamed in. kevin it feels like we've not only losing the streets, we've lost them . them. >> well, i think it comes down

again to what i'm saying about leadership. if there's poor briefing and poor direction at the beginning, which is we will not tolerate any display of hate, anti—semitic behaviour in this particular case, we will not allow face masks to be worn and we will start to make arrests. that's the issue. and of course, the other point is the people above, if you like, maybe the 100 or so cops who are deployed that day did the chief superintendent , the commander superintendent, the commander pubuc superintendent, the commander public order did they make sure they had enough assets parked up around the corner to deal with stuff? when the problem occurs? i always believe that you should. if need be, need 2 or 300 400 round the corner load of mounted police around the corner. so that when you decide to enforce the law , you win. and to enforce the law, you win. and what's going on is all too often it's inadequately resourced. of course , there's a knock on course, there's a knock on effect here, but when you pull people into central london for that, you denude the streets of the local areas of where the police are, which opens up the

other argument is have the police been cut too much in the past? and indeed, given the demographics of the country, the way it's changing and the non—compliance of large groups of people who live in the uk now, perhaps the police numbers should be increased . i mean, for should be increased. i mean, for a similar sized population , a similar sized population, france has got more than double the number of police officers that we have in the uk. we've got the smallest numbers got one of the smallest numbers relative to most european countries . okay, so you know, countries. okay, so you know, i despair sometimes, but bottom line, it's leadership and probably more investment needed to increase the numbers of police officers , uh, out there. police officers, uh, out there. >> okay , kev, loads more we >> okay, kev, loads more we could talk about, but we have to leave it there simply because of time. is it the numbers? is it the gear around the corner? there were lots and lots of riot vans there, but let me tell you this, there was no strong response to that crowd as there this, there was no strong respon.e to that crowd as there this, there was no strong respon armistice crowd as there this, there was no strong respon armistice day.i as there this, there was no strong respon armistice day. it s there this, there was no strong respon armistice day. it feltere was on armistice day. it felt like a completely and utterly different to different response to two different response to two different when you different crowds. when you police without favour, police without fear or favour, thatis police without fear or favour, that is a thin end of anarchy.

and we'll of course have lots more on this story throughout the 4:10, i'll get the show. and at 4:10, i'll get the show. and at 4:10, i'll get the views nigel and the views of nigel farage. and later this hour be joined by a legal expert , stephen barrett, legal expert, stephen barrett, to find out precisely why the metropolitan police didn't arrest anyone over those pro—palestine messages that were beamed onto the elizabeth tower on wednesday . and there's loads on wednesday. and there's loads of coverage on our website, gbnews.com and you've helped to make it the fastest growing national news website in the country. so thank you very much . country. so thank you very much. now we've got a gb news exclusive live for you now. and last week labour withdrew its support for the party's candidate for the rochdale by—election after he made anti—semitic remarks at a meeting. of course, aziza ali was suspended from the labour party , but perhaps not as party, but perhaps not as disowned as we might expect . and disowned as we might expect. and to discuss this, i'm now joined by gb news brit school, deputy political editor tom harwood, who has this exclusive story . who has this exclusive story. what's the latest, tom? >> well , what's the latest, tom? >> well, azhar ali, of what's the latest, tom? >> well , azhar ali, of course, >> well, azhar ali, of course, at the start of last week was

disowned as the labour party's candidate in rochdale jail. this after it was revealed he had, uh, concocted and promoted a conspiracy theory about october the 7th, saying that israel allowed the slaughter of its own civilians and indeed, after he blamed on recording a jewish quarters, certain jewish quarters, certain jewish quarters in the media for reports against a pro—palestinian mp. well, he was removed as the labour party candidate disassociated and suspended from the labour party. but today he is, uh, i have obtained a picture of, uh , azhar obtained a picture of, uh, azhar ali lunching with labour party figures. indeed, the lady next to him there is the candidate, the labour party candidate for blackpool north and fleetwood . blackpool north and fleetwood. that's lorraine beavers, but this is a table of labour party councillors at the lancashire county council budget meeting this lunchtime. so that's azhar ali, who has been suspended from

the labour party lunching with labour party . well, former labour party. well, former colleagues and this will raise some questions in terms of how suspended azhar ali is. of course , his name still is on the course, his name still is on the ballot paper. the labour party aren't officially campaign for him, but there's every chance that he could still win that by—election. his name is written to next the labour party logo on that ballot paper, and if he does win , there'll be questions does win, there'll be questions as to whether or not he joins the labour party grouping in parliament. and this picture today might suggest that's what he's minded to do . he's minded to do. >> that's a superb exclusive . >> that's a superb exclusive. azhar ali lunching with labour tom harwood great stuff and certainly food for thought . now certainly food for thought. now joining me now is we've done that bit. move on. we have to go through the candidates standing in the rochdale by—election. of course now it's azhar ali. labour party has labour though the party has withdrawn its support for him. of course, as discussed. mark coleman, independent simon danczuk reform uk. ian

listening to gb news radio show. >> welcome back. it's 325.

you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news. now, later this hour i'll be joined by the man hoping to replace andy burnham as the mayor of greater manchester. and i'll ask him, what's the point of mayors? but before that, there's finally some good news for the millions of people who are struggling to pay of people who are struggling to pay their energy bills and the average household bill will fall to point in years to its lowest point in two years from april, after ofgem finally lowered its price cap well , here lowered its price cap well, here to give us all the details is our economics and business editor liam halligan with on the money . liam. it's always money. liam. it's always a pleasure to have you in the studio at last. the sun comes through the clouds some good, some good news for british households at long last. and feeling the pain of bills for way too long. it is good news, but we have to put this in context. that's what i'm here to do, right? to tell you about the real details behind the glib

headunes real details behind the glib headlines that we hear exclusively from other broadcasters, but not here on gb news. so let's just recap some of what you said there. martin this is the ofgem energy price cap. >> they're the energy regulator . >> they're the energy regulator. this is the cap on the average household's average bill given average usage for combined gas and electricity . and electricity. >> so it doesn't mean you won't pay >> so it doesn't mean you won't pay more for your electricity. if you use more electricity. it means that average use household, their bill will fall and the bill falls from from £1,928 a year, equivalent to 1690. that's from april the 1st, and that's a drop of about 12. well, that's equivalent to about £20 a month. so 3 or 4 pints in a pub, depending on where you live , maybe 4 or 5 pints, 5 or 6 live, maybe 4 or 5 pints, 5 or 6 pints in some better price parts of the uk that cap though , it's of the uk that cap though, it's still 50% higher than it was before russia invaded ukraine in february 2022. so two years ago, pretty much to the day, that's

what we're comparing it to electricity prices. gas prices in this country are still very, very high. and on top of that, the energy providers they've managed to wrestle a special, uh, permit out of ofcom that they can charge us £2.33 each a month on average per household to address their so—called debt backlog , the debt backlog that backlog, the debt backlog that they claim is the debt backlog of customers . right. so where of customers. right. so where the customers are electricity companies money, i must say, martin, when i talk to friends and family in the local pub and so on, i hear a lot more stories about electricity companies owing customers money. >> they got two grand of my money and they won't give it back to me. >> and i've phoned them a hundred times and spent 20 minutes every time, minutes on hold every time, rather electricity rather than electricity companies sobbing, customers. so maybe evidence is wrong. >> i'm prepared to accept that it is. >> i haven't seen data on that that i >> i haven't seen data on that thati can >> i haven't seen data on that that i can find anywhere, and i've but it does strike i've looked. but it does strike me as a bit odd that without any

kind of debate and completely blindsiding us ofgem has agreed to allow electricity companies to allow electricity companies to charge all of us more in order to try and tackle a debt backlog, which they claim is with customers , rather than with with customers, rather than with the energy providers themselves. >> are we looking at a satisfying long terme downward chug , as satisfying long terme downward chug, as we're hoping, with interest rates or as you keep pointing out, liam , um, pointing out, liam, um, precarious world events such as the middle east could it could could put a wrecking ball through the good news anyway. well, you remember, as a student of politics, martin, the of politics, martin, roughly the same me . same vintage as me. >> mean, we followed american >> i mean, we followed american politics closely in the 90s, didn't because was so didn't we? because it was so exciting with clinton and bush won and bush two crikey , off won and bush two and crikey, off the back of reagan, we're about to go into another very interesting period in american politics, say . but politics, shall we say. but there that phrase from the there was that phrase from the 1990s, economic 1990s, bill clinton's economic adviser, james carville , who adviser, james carville, who said to his campaign staff, it's the economy, stupid. just keep talking about the economy,

because that's what people really about . well, it is really care about. well, it is the economy, stupid. in this coming election this autumn when it's expected, but it's also the geopolitics, stupid. it is russia, ukraine, it is palestine in israel it is, you know, china , taiwan. it is tension in the pacific. it is . can container pacific. it is. can container ships get through the suez canal ships get through the suez canal, or are those container ships going to keep being taken out by iranian backed houthi rebels who have been down to, you know, the local department store in london and, and sent drones to their cousins on the horn of africa and in yemen, as it were. so this geopolitics world events will determine wholesale prices of gas. now, the reason these is this ofgem energy price cap has come down now is because we've had two successive relatively mild winters in europe. so gas usage has been relatively low since russia invaded ukraine, which is just historically advantageous

for energy importers like the uk . uh, another reason is because we've had loads of, uh, uquefied we've had loads of, uh, liquefied natural gas exported from america to europe. america has become the largest exporter of liquefied natural gas in the world in the last couple of years, even overtaking qatar and the other middle eastern gas exporting giants, not least because the war in ukraine has meant that western europe has wanted to wean itself off russian gas. if that pattern continues , if wholesale gas continues, if wholesale gas pnces continues, if wholesale gas prices continue to stay relatively benign, there's still a lot higher than they were before. russia, ukraine invaded ukraine and they've come down a lot more, by the way, than this. ofgem energy cap has come ofgem energy price cap has come down. the relatively down. but if the relatively benign picture on global financial markets, particularly wholesale gas prices, we get 40% of our electricity from gas fired power stations, the gas fire, the gas price, the spot price of gas determines the spot price of gas determines the spot price of gas determines the spot price of electricity in this country . um, and so

price of electricity in this country. um, and so a price of electricity in this country . um, and so a lot of it country. um, and so a lot of it depends on geopolitics. the price of gas , whether or not price of gas, whether or not this time next year there'll be a further reduction in the ofgem energy price cap. there might be, but there might not be. >> liam halligan. as ever, expert analysis , always on the expert analysis, always on the money. thank you very much for joining us and sharing your expertise. there's still expertise. now there's still lots more between now lots more to come between now and the show. i'll and 6:00 later in the show. i'll be joined by lee anderson, who's got a say about this got a lot to say about this week's events week's controversial events inside outside parliament. inside and outside parliament. and us he and he will tell us why he signed that petition to just stop oil. but first, your latest news headlines with ray anderson . thanks, martin. it's 3.32. our top story is former post office chief executive paula vennells has been stripped of her cbe following the horizon it scandal as she faced a backlash following the wrongful prosecution of hundreds of subpostmaster voters. >> she's expected to be formally stripped of her cbe by the king

think it's a power grab. it's unknown, very expensive and their council bills don't get cheaper anyway. so my simple question to you, nick, is what's the point of mayors if you can find someone who's got the answer to that? >> be interested finding >> i'd be interested to finding out the answer to that question, because i don't know the because i don't know what the point mayor is. point of a mayor is. >> standing as mayor >> you're standing as a mayor >> you're standing as a mayor >> i but not for the reason >> i am, but not for the reason you probably think i am. i'm standing to be mayor, to give the manchester the people of greater manchester an get rid of the an opportunity to get rid of the mayor. and if we get rid of the mayor, your council tax bill will because, he adds mayor, your council tax bill will onto because, he adds mayor, your council tax bill will onto your)ecause, he adds mayor, your council tax bill will onto your council he adds mayor, your council tax bill will onto your council tax adds money onto your council tax bill. now in greater manchester, a forced us a mayor was forced upon us a decade ago. again, why is it decade ago. but again, why is it always the tories just don't understand democracy forced upon us.the understand democracy forced upon us. the council's agreed to it because the councils were greedy and money. because the councils were greedy and people money. because the councils were greedy and people i'm money. because the councils were greedy and people i'm speaking money. because the councils were greedy and people i'm speaking toyney. because the councils were greedy and people i'm speaking to for(. the people i'm speaking to for the last three, four years now are saying to me, nick, don't want a mayor. i was never asked, did i want a mayor? it was imposed upon us. so why am i voting i don't voting for something i don't want? got a democracy hole want? we've got a democracy hole now greater manchester.

now in greater manchester. i want fill by holding want to fill it by holding a referendum in greater manchester, to the manchester, going back to the people who have been people who should have been spoken to at beginning spoken to at the beginning and saying, do you want this position? they vote no, i'll position? if they vote no, i'll go westminster and get go to westminster and we'll get that removed. that position removed. >> you're turkey voting for >> so you're a turkey voting for christmas. a mayor who christmas. you're a mayor who wants to get rid of being mayor. >> i'm a mayor who just wants to improve my region and my country and if that means the job i get voted into has to go to improve the country improve my the country and improve my region, be it. region, then so be it. >> how much do mayors cost >> and how much do mayors cost and i mean, we see in and all? i mean, we see in london all the time a huge amount of staff that sadiq khan has got every time crime has got and every time crime goes or bills up, he goes up or bills goes up, he blames anyway and blames westminster anyway and that why have mayors. that is why we have mayors. >> the tory government decided that they wanted to bat away problems from the big cities, which are normally run by laboun which are normally run by labour. so if we give them a mayor, every time they complain about can say to about something, we can say to those voted your those people, you voted in your mayor, to go back to mayor, you need to go back to your mayor. i think it was a way to confuse the public, add an extra layer of bureaucracy and

cost. so the tories could say, not our problem in the big cities, but it was meant to be about devolution. >> was to be about >> it was meant to be about local powers for local people cutting out the cutting westminster out of the decision making . you're saying decision making. you're saying that that was false dawn , that that that was a false dawn, that how it was sold to us? >> now , if we had decent mayors, >> now, if we had decent mayors, that might be the case. but what the mayor position attracts is failed politicians and people who want to climb the greasy pole of politics. so we've always got somebody like the mayor of at the moment, andy burnham. andy burnham wants to be minister. he's using be prime minister. he's using greater stepping greater manchester as a stepping stone to get into number 10, to fulfil his dream. it's a wonderful dream, by the way. aspirations. wonderful. i don't blame for that, but your blame him for that, but your aspiration shouldn't be built on the of the people of the backs of the people of greater manchester. but he most likely win the mayoralty in manchester. >> sadiq khan will most likely win in london. so people are voting. but the turnout is pretty low at mayoral elections. is it compared to generals? >> absolutely. 1 in 3 people in greater manchester vote for the

mayor and that is the problem. so years ago, people would if they didn't like a particular politician, would vote against them. what's happened the last couple decades is people now couple of decades is people now 90, couple of decades is people now go, voting at all. go, i'm not voting at all. >> nick, i want to talk to >> now, nick, i want to talk to you police and crime you about police and crime because police crime because police and crime commissioner one of the commissioner is one of the mayoral tiers de facto jobs. we're awful of we're seeing an awful lot of aggro at the aggro on british streets at the moment. you're from manchester, you're london. what would you you're in london. what would you do in charge? it do if you were in charge? it feels to me like we're losing the streets. are losing the streets. >> i mean, we lost the streets to serious you a to serious crime. you know, a decade greater manchester, decade ago. greater manchester, there's deaths greater there's deaths in greater manchester the streets manchester now on the streets almost not as almost daily. it's not as bad as london yet, but we're catching up. really catching up. up. we're really catching up. the marches the free palestine marches are horrendous. ones horrendous. we have smaller ones in greater if in greater manchester. if i'm the commissioner, the police crime commissioner, all overnight. and the police crime commissioner, all reason overnight. and the police crime commissioner, all reason whyvernight. and the police crime commissioner, all reason why iarnight. and the police crime commissioner, all reason why i knowt. and the police crime commissioner, all reason why i know itand the police crime commissioner, all reason why i know it stops the reason why i know it stops overnight is because i've trained police officers. i used to based in police stations to be based in police stations as council manager. i know as a council manager. i know how to fix police. i don't want to fix the police. i don't want a service anymore. i want a police service anymore. i want a police service anymore. i want a i want police to a police force. i want police to

ppe control and automation are an electrical control system builder now. >> they've had a record year. so, tony, what's behind this growth? and also why are you so integral to uk manufacturing our business produce control and automation systems have gone to machinery, and machinery is used to make everything we buy, everything that we touch, everything that we touch, everything that we see. >> so our company is supplying automation into companies that will make that could will make machines that could milk could cut metal, milk cows, that could cut metal, that could put labels on fruit, that could put labels on fruit, that could put meat in trays . that could put meat in trays. >> everything do is really >> so everything we do is really affecting that ability of people to want and buy things and how things why have you had such a >> so why have you had such a successful then? successful year then? >> we're the growth of >> we're seeing the growth of automation across many sectors now. we to invest in now. not we need to invest in automation. said and automation. so i said before and there are skills shortages now that exist. so certain that also exist. so certain processes that used be done processes that used to be done by are now being done by

machines. >> so what is it you as a company are doing then? we're investing ourselves. company are doing then? we're inv> so although we talk about automation we to invest automation, we need to invest ourselves. spent over £2 ourselves. we spent over £2 million investing in automation for parts of our for certain parts of our processes. working for certain parts of our procecustomers working for certain parts of our procecustomers reallyworking for certain parts of our procecustomers really to rking for certain parts of our procecustomers really to promote with customers really to promote automation into sectors . automation into new sectors. >> so then what is it that you're doing with regards to automation? >> well, in addition to promoting automation to other industries we're investing industries, we're investing heavily automation ourselves. heavily in automation ourselves. so invested over £2 so we've invested over £2 million in automation for cable manufacture and test. that's enabung manufacture and test. that's enabling us to scale and work with some really exciting companies in some really exciting new sectors, such as esg, hydrogen and renewable oils. and that's really important for us as a business. it's really important for those companies, and ultimately it's helping us scale and grow ourselves. so our own investment is us help those is helping us help those companies grow develop .

areas. so it's not very clear you're listening to gb news radio .

radio. >> welcome back . it's 349. >> welcome back. it's 349. you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news. it's now 4:00. nigel farage will join me to discuss suella bravermans claim that islamists are in charge of britain, but now want to discuss that topic now as well, and ask why the police didn't intervene when pro—palestine messages were beamed onto the elizabeth tower, which of course is the home of big ben and joining me now to discuss this is the barrister and writer stephen barrett, who always gives expert and a political analysis. stephen, welcome to the show. so, stephen, we've heard in the last hour that number 10 has fallen in line with gb news and is saying the police should have stopped these images being projected on there. they should have intervened. they brought shame to the nation. i'm asking you in a legal framework , was you in a legal framework, was projecting those images onto big

ben a legal offence ? do the ben a legal offence? do the police have the powers to enforce the removal of it? yes or no ? or no? >> well, it's good to see that the prime minister, rishi sunak, is in fierce agreement with suella braverman on this issue because when she was home secretary, she called out this phrase and i don't think we should talk about this specific case, because that can get very tricky. >> but we can talk hypothetically about projecting this phrase onto buildings or even chanting this phrase in the street. and the act of projecting it onto a building is almost certainly a planning offence . if it's nothing else offence. if it's nothing else but this phrase, if we need to analyse it. okay. the claim that is being made by the metropolitan police is that it's a perfectly innocent phrase. now, i'm not sure that that stands up to any scrutiny. it means it's from the river. the river? the river jordan to the sea , the mediterranean, sea, the mediterranean, palestine will be free. well, that that's calling for the

cancellation of israel . and that cancellation of israel. and that that does strike me as quite an offensive thing to do, where it's ambiguous as to what happens to all of the current jewish occupants of that land. but but the implication is potentially genocidal . i would potentially genocidal. i would like to get some legal clarity on this and have an actual court look at it, but the block to gaining that legal clarity is the metropolitan police , and we the metropolitan police, and we really need to i mean, i've called them the great do nothings because on this issue they do seem to be performatively powerless and perform atively powerless and doing performatively powerless and doing as little as they possibly can. now, i've talked to serving officers and the this attitude is not at the operational level. what is happening is that very senior levels, which must be the commissioner and must be the mayor of london, it must be are blocking these decisions, but they are using their discretion to block any legal clarity on whether or not this phrase is illegal. there's a potential that it illegal. there's a potential thatitis illegal. there's a potential that it is and are the met

abusing their discretion ? are abusing their discretion? are they? and i think that we're at they? and i think that we're at the stage now where we have to ask, are the met abusing their discretion to block this going before a judge? >> okay, steve, let me some >> okay, steve, let me add some more stuff. there are laws. more stuff. um, there are laws. you're right. the unauthorised projections on parliamentary buildings, laws were brought in in 2016 after a number of commercial enterprises had been products onto parliamentary buildings. so you're right, you do need permission. and that wasn't granted. but on the night itself, stephen, i was there and ispoke itself, stephen, i was there and i spoke with officers in person. i spoke with officers in person. i think we have footage now. and i think we have footage now. and i said to the officers, this is an offence, is it or not? and they said, yes, it is. there's they said, yes, it is. there's the project you can see on screen. it's a tiny device, stephen, and there are no police anywhere near near it with any interest whatsoever in stopping it. and you're right to point out the specific nature of the message itself causes greater fence. stephen, this has been beamed around the world,

bringing great shame on the uk and surely to that mob outside parliament at that time, the context matters. the aggregating aggravating factor should be is an issue. stephen >> it must be and it's nice to hear that a serving officer is in agreement with the prime minister and a former home secretary, and with me, that that this, this phrase is, is potentially an offence . um, it potentially an offence. um, it it is it must be terribly distressing to british jews. you know, it just it just must be. and i can't think of another group to whom we would allow this level of distress to happen. i mean , in in, in happen. i mean, in this in, in the world of identity politics, you know, i belong to the little bisexual box. i cannot imagine anybody this level of anybody tolerating this level of abuse i simply abuse at bisexuals. i simply can't imagine that people would be permitted to be this abusive. and we know that people are being intimidated because the speaker of the house of commons said are being said that mps are being intimidated. is an intimidated. so there is an intimidatory atmosphere going in, is a threatening in, that there is a threatening atmosphere on, think, atmosphere going on, i think,

and written on this, i and i've written on this, i think that that potentially reaches serious reaches the level of serious disorder and that the met should use their powers to stop these protests. the metropolitan police once again are performatively powerless and perform atively powerless and deny they powers performatively powerless and deny they powers . it deny that they have powers. it it's ridiculous . it's absolutely ridiculous. martin, if it came to you or i, the police would suddenly discover a whole big bag of laws that they've got to do things. and yet, in certain instances, they apparently unable to they are apparently unable to act. as you as you know, act. and as you as you know, stephen, i'm afraid we have to leave it there. >> loads of talk about. we'll continue this conversation in the hour as well. please the next hour as well. please stay us. i'm martin daubney stay with us. i'm martin daubney on news, news on gb news, britain's news channel >>a channel >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb solar sponsors of weather on. gb news. good afternoon. welcome to your latest gb news weather update with me , annie from the update with me, annie from the met office. there will be further showers through the rest of day. some sunny spells of the day. some sunny spells too, but for all of us it is

an hour's time. >> he said to me earlier on that there's possibility that, um, sir keir starmer has been reported to the parliamentary standards for this . standards committee for this. >> sure all options >> well, i'm sure all options are open. i doubt that will happen or succeed. it's a political matter. i also note political matter. i do also note sadiq khan, who's the mayor of london running for office this may. she says he says the following suella braverman seems to doing her best to outflank enoch now he's the tory enoch powell. now he's the tory mp from the past. the minister, who made the remarks, the rivers of remarks which which of blood remarks which which inflamed tensions and inflamed racial tensions and sadiq is also the de facto sadiq khan is also the de facto police and crime commissioner for where all this stuff for london, where all this stuff is happening on the streets. >> it's a bit of him to >> so it's a bit rich of him to be deflecting onto suella braverman when this anarchy is happening effectively on his watch. >> an election year martin election , a general election election, a general election later this year. mayoral elections greater manchester, elections in greater manchester, uh london and elsewhere. in may sadiq khan carried on. it's a poisonous attempt to drive a wedge between our communities and serve own suella and serve her own suella braverman naked ambition now

braverman is naked ambition now more than ever, should be more than ever, we should be seeking unite, not divide, seeking to unite, not divide, the anna sewell the the language. anna sewell the braverman raised the tension braverman is raised the tension today westminster. braverman is raised the tension tod okay, alestminster. braverman is raised the tension tod okay, well,|inster. braverman is raised the tension tod okay, well, nower. braverman is raised the tension tod okay, well, now we can get >> okay, well, now we can get the words of nigel farage, who joins us from america. nigel, welcome the show , nigel. it's welcome to the show, nigel. it's absolutely kicking off this side of the pond. suella braverman has waded in today saying the islamists have taken over. nigel you've been you've been talking on this for a long time. what's your situation about the unfolding anarchy on british streets ? streets? >> uh, depressing. upsetting thing. but i'm afraid from my perspective , entirely perspective, entirely predictable. this is the direct result of irresponsible immigration policies from both labour and conservative governments over the course of the last 25 years, the encouragement of multiculturalism , um, the multiculturalism, um, the encouragement of identity politics, the encouragement of everybody having a label and everybody having a label and everybody being separate rather than us all being treated equally before the law. this is

where we've got to, and i'm afraid . add to that a lack of afraid. add to that a lack of moral courage and leadership coming from government, coming from a church of england, we've forgotten who we are. we've forgotten who we are. we've forgotten what we are. we are a very tolerant country. we believe in freedom of religious expression. of course we do . but expression. of course we do. but here's the point everything we believe in, everything we've built over the thousand last years and more is based on family , de nation and family, de nation and underpinning all of it are judeo—christian principles , and judeo—christian principles, and they're right through our constitutional settlement and everything else. and we've forgotten that we're afraid to stand up for that. and now it's that that is being crushed . and that that is being crushed. and to see fear stalking the corridors of westminster in the way that it is now is a deep international humiliation for our nation . our nation. >> and, nigel, i saw your show last night and you were showing those shameful images of big ben

with those messages on from the river to the sea and number 10 has waded in in the last hour. this side of the pond, again agreeing with gb news that that project should have been taken down. the police should have intervened. yet nigel, once again they didn't. they stood off and they let the mob do their worst . yeah well, two their worst. yeah well, two points there, martin. >> uh, the police's behaviour on this ever since the first pro—palestinian march in london on the saturday following the october 7, obscenities . um, ever october 7, obscenities. um, ever since it's been a hands off approach and people chanting things in the street . approach and people chanting things in the street. i mean, if you and i were doing that, i mean, we'd be locked up. in short order. and the second point goes back to what i was saying a moment ago about moral courage and leadership. the fact that number 10 has come out in the last hour and said, this is an act of followership . they can an act of followership. they can see what we're saying , they can see what we're saying, they can see what we're saying, they can see where public opinion is

going . so they say, oh, we going. so they say, oh, we better say something and go with it. number 10, the prime minister should have said something about it as soon as it happened. but i'm afraid there is no leadership. there is no courage now, nigel. >> i'm also joined in the studio by chris hope. he's got a question you'd like to fire at you. nigel. >> chris, here in the studio in london. you are speaking at cpac shortly. what are you doing in america ? do you want to be in america? do you want to be in politics over there as well? well chris, i've been coming to cpac for over a decade and the first time i was here, a lot of people asked the question, what's a brit doing going to an american conservative conference? >> and i was the only foreign speaker on the stage this year. over 20 countries are represented , including the represented, including the presidents of el salvador , the presidents of el salvador, the presidents of el salvador, the president of argentina , senior president of argentina, senior representatives from countries all over europe, australia , all over europe, australia, japan. so what has happened , ed, japan. so what has happened, ed, is that cpac has become the meeting place for genuine conservative movements from

right across the world, including, of course , this year including, of course, this year a former british prime minister, as well . keir of course, you as well. keir of course, you want to be the uk ambassador to america . america. >> if donald trump, your mate, wins the election. now you know, i wrote that story with the telegraph uh, seven years ago now. is it really going to happen?is now. is it really going to happen? is that what you want? >> i'll tell you what i want. i want to make sure that an incoming starmer government has a good relationship. if we have an incoming trump administration , why do i say that? the relationships between our countries have never been more important. and that's not just in terms of trade and investment and money and of course, culture, which we share to the most extraordinary degree. now i'm talking about nato. i'm talking about defence. i'm talking about defence. i'm talking about defence. i'm talking about the safety of the west. given that keir west. and given that keir starmer's party have got senior figures like david lammy who've said very disobliging things about president trump given and

we've had confirmation of this, that there's been no reach out from starmer towards the trump campaign . he will need somebody campaign. he will need somebody in washington in that is a bndge in washington in that is a bridge between them and the american administration. and the last thing they should do is to appoint somebody with an oxbridge first and a career in the foreign office . they won't the foreign office. they won't even get through the front door of the oval office at what is a crucial time for global security, with perhaps the threat of war being closer than it's been at any point in in our lifetimes. all i'm saying is, if it's not me, it needs to be someone like me. it needs to be somebody who can build bridges between a starmer administration that's been abusive and an incoming trump presidency, and i think in the national interest, that makes a lot of sense, nigel. >> um, a lot of people will be looking to america and saying, well, it looks like trump's going to get back in. and we look back to britain and we seem

to be facing our darkest hours with what's going on here. a lot of people saying there's a trump sized is sized hole in britain. is that a job that you should feel ? job that you should feel? >> well , look, i job that you should feel? >> well, look, i don't think this interview should be extended job interview for a variety of things that i might and might not do for now, i'm here at cpac as a speaker , but here at cpac as a speaker, but i'm also here carrying the gb news flag. and i'm very pleased to say that an increasing number of people walking past are coming , of people walking past are coming, stopping and saying, yes, we've heard of gb news. so the channel isn't just mark steyn . as you've pointed out, steyn. as you've pointed out, leading debate and conversation in britain with a remarkable degree of influence . we're degree of influence. we're becoming better known too . here, becoming better known too. here, >> well, that's great stuff. thank you very much for joining us, nigel farage. good luck at cpac later on. always a pleasure to have you on. and as well, christopher hope. thank you for joining us the studio. joining us in the studio. great start we'll start to the hour now. we'll have lots more on this huge story at 5:00. of course, i'll be then by lee anderson. be joined then by lee anderson. and there's plenty of coverage

>> you're listening to gb news radio . well radio. well i'm back. >> and now viewers on gb news can see live pictures from plymouth, and they're about to dispose of an unexploded second

world war bomb in the sea. there, the bomb was found in a garden on tuesday, and when the bomb goes bang , we'll make sure bomb goes bang, we'll make sure to cut back and show you the action. now it's the second anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine, and with no end to the war in sight, there are fears that the west will reduce its support for ukraine. the foreign secretary, lord david cameron, is speaking at the united nations general assembly about ukraine, right now and our home and curator, mark white has this special report . this special report. >> the da are . >> the da are. >> the da are. >> across large parts of eastern and southern ukraine, the war with russia continues to rage . with russia continues to rage. and as this conflict enters its third year, the scale of the destruction and the number of

casualties inflicted on both sides has been immense . the sides has been immense. the ukrainian army was widely praised for its early successes, driving the numerically superior and better equipped russian military back from significant chunks of the territory it seized in the early days of the invasion, but military analysts agree the war of late appears to have reached stalemate when i think about it now, i can't help but think about world war one 1916, 1917 offensive operations means capturing very little ground, a lot of casualties and doesn't seem to be making any advances one way or the other. >> so i think we're in a stalemate situation and i rather suspect this is going to be the case for some time. >> there's no doubt ukraine has defied >> there's no doubt ukraine has defied the odds in ensuring russia, for now at least, is unable to do much more than defend the current territory it

holds an assessment of ukraine's achievements so far by the uk's ministry of defence estimates. the country's armed forces have recaptured 50% of the territory russia seized in 2022, 350,000 russian troops are believed to have been killed or injured . have been killed or injured. 2600 russian tanks have been destroyed over the past two years, and almost 5000 russian armoured vehicles have also been destroyed . on the ukrainian side destroyed. on the ukrainian side , at least 30,000 civilians have been killed , probably many more. been killed, probably many more. the number of military deaths is a closely guarded secret , but a closely guarded secret, but some estimates put it as high as 70,000. in this war of attrition, ukraine is running desperately short of artillery shells and ammunition , and with shells and ammunition, and with last year's counteroffensive

failing to achieve the significant gains, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy had hoped for, he's now removed his top general. i'll add to that serious concerns surrounding continued support from the united states, with the republicans repeated blocking a new military aid package for ukraine, the spectre of a new donald trump presidency just compounds the concern in kyiv that ukraine's biggest supplier of military aid may no longer be as committed to its defence. one russian opposition politician believes that ultimately , the believes that ultimately, the war is unlikely to be won on the battlefield and instead needs new leadership in the kremlin. >> i think that this war, at the end of the day , will not end in end of the day, will not end in ukraine. it will end in moscow. the origin of the problem is in moscow , the source of the moscow, the source of the problem is in moscow , and it problem is in moscow, and it should be treated in moscow. and

that's what i am currently doing . i am campaigning for all the different western nations to come to this realisation and help our regiments in the frontlines and our troops inside russia , uh, to grow and, and uh, russia, uh, to grow and, and uh, to be able to change this regime from within for now , at least, from within for now, at least, there seems little prospect of vladimir putin's removal, enforced or otherwise . enforced or otherwise. >> and he's on course to once again win the country's presidential elections next month . moscow has also now month. moscow has also now shifted to a wartime economy and invested huge sums in its military, which the west is struggling to match. after another year of massive battlefield losses on both sides, neither country has the advantage . but ukraine and advantage. but ukraine and russia agree on one thing there's no prospect of a

ceasefire and negotiations. any time . soon so this bloody time. soon so this bloody conflict is set to rage on testing not just ukraine's ability to keep fighting , but ability to keep fighting, but its allies resolve in staying the course and continuing to supply the military aid this country so desperately needs . country so desperately needs. mark white, gb news. grace of their from mark white, gb news. grace of theirfrom mark mark white, gb news. grace of their from mark white. >> now the uk has pledged more than £12 billion in overall support to ukraine in these past two years. when we went out and aboutin two years. when we went out and about in birmingham to ask people there whether it was time to stop spending so much money, i believe we should send the money and i believe we do need to continue sending the money. >> they, you know, these people are in devastation and you know something done to something needs to be done to help them. really. i think it's a good thing we're sending a good thing that we're sending aid those are aid and helping those that are in but at the same time, we're >> but at the same time, we're also in a cost of living crisis here. >> and we've got lots of people

that need assistance here. >> what i think it's unfair to be money be distributing money abroad when here are on the when people here are on the streets or sleeping on the streets, are hungry streets, people are hungry children, they're children, you know, they're not getting and the support getting the help and the support that they from the that they need from the government. i think it's government. and i think it's outrageous amount outrageous to send that amount of money abroad do anything else. >> you know, without about consideration for the people who live in england , uh, to be quite live in england, uh, to be quite honest, disgusted because for the simple reason is we're paying the simple reason is we're paying literally . on top of what paying literally. on top of what is still going on. >> and they want more money. >> and they want more money. >> this is just money used to fund warfare rather than to fund the welfare. so it's yeah . the welfare. so it's yeah. pointless. it sounds a lot. >> but i think in the, in the scheme of things, um, you know, in, in terms of what it stands for, it's, i think we've got to keep going. >> you can't stop . >> you can't stop. >> you can't stop. >> thank you. now got hundreds

of emails come today. loads. of emails come in today. loads. and the islamist and loads on the islamist intimidation i want to read this one from susan. this hate one out from susan. this hate message on big ben allowed by the police was an the metropolitan police was an insuh the metropolitan police was an insult and a disgrace to our country. also, these demonstrators on saturdays have become nothing short now of civil disobe audience. christina says this moving message my jewish daughter in law is now afraid to go into central london. these protests should stop at the moment. i am ashamed to be british and quickly. on the case of shamima begum having her appeal turned down, kevin says this. i wonder how long it would be before shamima decides to play the. i think i'll convert to christianity card . convert to christianity card. nice one there from kevin. now there's lots more still to come between now and 5:00, and i'll discuss the new report that claims working class viewers are turning off the bbc and turning on to gb news because they think the bbc is simply too woke. but first, it's time for your latest

studio. it's been a long, cold, bleak winter for british beleaguered bill payers . finally beleaguered bill payers. finally is the sun coming through the clouds? liam? god you're good. >> martin. that's why you get the big bucks. >> um, it hasn't actually been that cold or winter. >> it's been quite a mild winter. uh on historic levels , winter. uh on historic levels, as last winter was quite mild. we've had two relatively mild winters since putin invaded ukraine. two years ago in february 2022. and the fact that we've had those mild winters has kept electricity prices and gas pnces kept electricity prices and gas prices while much higher than they were before that invasion , they were before that invasion, even lower than they otherwise could have been. so today , this could have been. so today, this morning, the energy regulator ofgem, they announced that the average household using the average household using the average amount of combined gas and electric city, will get a . and electric city, will get a. bill of £1,690. that's on an annual basis from april the 1st, and that's down from £1,928.

that's a 12% drop. a saving of around £20 a month. it's worth saying, while that is a lot better than it could have been, our combined gas and electricity bills, martin, are still 50% higher roughly than they were before russia invaded ukraine, an event which of course sent global energy markets into complete turmoil left the uk and western europe particularly exposed because we were the ones heavily dependent on russian gas. we had to wean ourselves off that gas. we have to some extent, largely because we've been importing shed loads of technical of gas, billions technical turm of gas, billions of cubic metres . there is the of cubic metres. there is the technical turm of wholesale gas from america in the form of uquefied from america in the form of liquefied natural gas that comes over on ships that is itself is expensive , carbon intensive, and expensive, carbon intensive, and all the rest of it . but the all the rest of it. but the upshot is that ofgems lowered the energy price cap. that lower cap will be in place from april until the end of june. >> now, liam , we hear all the >> now, liam, we hear all the time about the price at petrol

pumps is up like a rocket and it falls like a feather. why is it taking so long for prices to stabilise? it's been two years today since the ukraine war, because global gas markets are very, very volatile and very, very, very volatile and very, very susceptible to news from russia and news from ukraine. >> ukraine, which of course is itself very, very volatile. given you know, is congress going to back the ukrainian army? we don't really know. are the german government going to back the ukrainian army? we don't really are russia back the ukrainian army? we don't to lly are russia back the ukrainian army? we don't to win? are russia back the ukrainian army? we don't to win? we are russia back the ukrainian army? we don't to win? we don'ttussia back the ukrainian army? we don't to win? we don't really going to win? we don't really know, though. most analysts going to win? we don't really know,thathh. most analysts going to win? we don't really know,that russiayst analysts going to win? we don't really know,that russia certainly ts think that russia certainly aren't to lose, though aren't going to lose, though there's difference between there's a difference between winning and not losing, of course. so the situation is relatively unknown. um that links to wholesale gas prices, that links to household energy bills. it's worth saying also that the energy providers , the that the energy providers, the energy companies, they've done a deal with ofgem where they're allowed to charge all of us around two and a half quid a month , a special charge that month, a special charge that will help the energy companies.

they say, help customers who are indebted now , we do hear about indebted now, we do hear about customers that are indebted with their energy companies. we also hear about a lot of customers that have money on account with energy companies that they can't get back . all my energy. how get back. all my energy. how often have heard the my often have i heard in the pub my energy company me two grand energy company owes me two grand and won't back to and they won't give it back to me? and i spent, you know, hours on the phone trying to get hold of it. so not sure of the of it. so i'm not sure of the relative balances of customers versus energy providers, but it's um, the ofgem it's clear from, um, the ofgem rubric today that energy rubric today that the energy providers being allowed to providers are being allowed to charge around £2.33 a month to address quotes. the debt backlog . but i'm not sure where that debt backlog lies. we do know that quite a lot of energy providers went out of business when energy prices went very, very high and they couldn't pass those huge spikes onto their customers as and when the energy companies go out of business, they have to be bailed out by other energy companies. so i do understand that the balance sheets of the energy companies

is very, very important . though is very, very important. though i'm quite clear. i will be i'm not quite clear. i will be investigating why it is that ofgem has allowed them to charge everybody for a debt backlog, that everybody hasn't incurred. so as ever, liam halligan always on the money. >> thank you so much for your expert analysis. cheers, mate. now led the way with brexit and now lots of more countries are sick and tired of the european union. we've got massive elections coming up of course in june and the spirit of brexit. it appears to be catching on across the continent. we'll have more that after this. i'm more on that after this. i'm martin on gb news, martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel .

it's not very clear. >> you're listening to gb news radio . radio. >> welcome back. it's 446. you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news now at 5:00, tory mp lee anderson, the red wall rock villa will join me

to discuss suella braverman sensational claim today that islamists are now in charge of britain. you will not want to miss that now. we led the way with brexit and now lots more european countries are also getting sick and tired of the european union . on this program european union. on this program we've covered the farmers protests across the continent and the most spectacular scenes , and the most spectacular scenes, of course, were in brussels, which is of course, the heart of the eu. it's death star . which is of course, the heart of the eu. it's death star. but farmers have also demonstrated in france, spain , germany and in france, spain, germany and many other countries , and many other countries, and established parties are expected to get a kicking in this year's eu elections, with populist parties proving more and more popular all over europe . well, popular all over europe. well, on that point. now let's cross live to brussels and speak to journalist jacques perec, great friend of the show. jacques, the member states are revolting . it member states are revolting. it seems the spirit of brexit. it is catching on. what's the

political picture across the 27 member states? well we've had a really interesting week this week . week. >> it really feels like the starting gun forjune's european starting gun for june's european parliament election has been launched, and that really came when the sort of biggest group in european parliament, the in the european parliament, the european people's party, the centre group, they centre right group, they announced that the sitting european commission president, ursula von der leyen, that she will be their lead candidate to keep her job after the elections keep herjob after the elections coming in june. >> now, as you mentioned , the >> now, as you mentioned, the big sort of discussion is what will happen to the right wing parties after the elections and how, if will they be able to club together into some kind of collective grouping as they do within the european parliament to wield some major power? >> will one of those right wing collective groups become the third biggest for the first time in the european parliament's history? and that's something that's the focus that's becoming really the focus of how this will operate. we're

heanng of how this will operate. we're hearing lots of comments, surges in popularity for the afd, the far right party in germany. they've self—define as a far right party marine le pen's national rally party in france , national rally party in france, they're looking set to do very well . could be france's well. could be france's potentially biggest party. the polls , you know, are moving polls, you know, are moving around a lot at the moment. and as you mentioned, this is all in the context of these farmers protests. it's the tractors that we're seeing on screen now. they're expected to hit brussels again on monday for another protest. in towards paris as protest. but in towards paris as we understand, jacques and also in poland and the netherlands, expected to see populist uprising. >> and i think you're exactly right. thinking ahead when they all form coalitions inside brussels, when they when they're sworn in and start serving in july, we could see a big body gravitating together and causing chaos within the chambers of brussels and strasbourg .

brussels and strasbourg. >> yeah. i mean , so it's a >> yeah. i mean, so it's a really, really complicated political makeup as you know, within the european parliament, but essentially it rests on groups of national political parties from different countries that sort of come together that often quite uncomfortable alliances . and the european alliances. and the european people's party is a sort of centre right christian democrat party. um, that has for a long time been the biggest party in the european parliament. then there's the s and d group, the socialist parties. labour used to sit in that group, and for a long time the liberals have been the third biggest party. but what it's looking like is that there's a chance for the ecr group, which is the party that the british conservatives actually started to leave. the more traditional european people's party, the centre right group. that group is taking in some figures, some offshoots of some figures, some offshoots of some of france's quite hard right, uh, politics, friends of marine le pen, her niece, is actually going into that party as well. and that is not within

what's called the cordon sanitaire , which is the part the sanitaire, which is the part the groups of the parties will not work with the likes of marine le pen's group. they will not work with the afd, but they will work with the afd, but they will work with the afd, but they will work with the ecr. so if that group does very well , it could then does very well, it could then actually wield some significant power within european politics. eu politics. anyway, after june's elections . june's elections. >> excellent stuff jack, as ever an expert summary and the spirit of brexit is catching on. it's going to be a fantastic election to watch in june. will they finally find their spurs and go for that spirit of brexit? wow it makes this mouth drool, isn't it? so anyway, voters across europe are fed up with the eu and now it turns out quelle surprise that working class people in this country have had their fill of the bbc because it's simply too woke . a poll by it's simply too woke. a poll by the policy research business pubuc the policy research business public first found that more than half of viewers think the quality of bbc news has declined

and become too politically correct. and the good news is that lots of those viewers, viewers are turning their backs on the beeb and instead watching gbh news welcome along. please jump gbh news welcome along. please jump in the water is lovely. it's great to have you on board now. i'm joined now by the former bbc executive and presenter roger bolton . roger, presenter roger bolton. roger, we hear a lot about these reports and by the way, welcome to the show. always a pleasure. do you think finally, that we're reaching wear out point? certainly for the working class , certainly for the working class, as 71% of leave voters are saying they're simply turning off the bbc? well well, the bbc has always had to ride two horses. >> on the one hand, it's required because of the licence fee, to give something to everybody. now, on the other hand, people expected to be at set standards and to cater for those things , perhaps of the those things, perhaps of the mass market doesn't . so when it mass market doesn't. so when it gets right , which mass market doesn't. so when it gets right, which is gets it right, which is something like, you know ,

something like, you know, strictly dancing, it strictly come dancing, it achieves things. you know, achieves both things. you know, everybody likes it and it's doing different. bake doing something different. bake off when it off would be the same when it started, it's getting started, but it's getting increasing . increasing. >> roger, roger there. i can talk about this. if not, well, what this report says . well, what this report says. well, it's brought reports as basically is that when they do the dramas and they do the current affairs differently, that's what people get fed up with. roger. are you back? you're just getting warmed up there. >> i'm back. says i normally talk too much and i wasn't there. i wasn't talking at all. yes no, thank you for that. no, they're riding two horses and they're riding two horses and the bbc always has between if you do the licence fee you've got everybody and got to cater for everybody and it's got to do things which are distinctive and does things that the doesn't provide. the market doesn't provide. that's increasingly that's getting increasingly difficult. always that's getting increasingly difficuproblem always that's getting increasingly difficuproblem out always that's getting increasingly difficuproblem out of always that's getting increasingly difficuproblem out of london in had a problem out of london in particular for radio four, the further away from further you work go away from london, people listen . london, the fewer people listen. and you know, to south and i think, you know, to south east country, the east rest of the country, the bbc trying to do something bbc is trying to do something about that moves. it's a lot of

it's, um, programming makers and others but it's others out of london, but it's very difficult . and of course, very difficult. and of course, there are now many more places that people to get that people can go to get alternative but i think alternative views. but i think the , reason that the reason, the reason that people are more unhappy people perhaps are more unhappy with is because we live with bbc news is because we live in very difficult times when, you people are you know, there's people are disagreeing almost about everything that everything and when that happens, you know, the bbc can't be unifying organisation. it likes to be when people are poles apart . brexit likes to be when people are poles apart. brexit was a classic example. it tore people apart by the way, you haven't mentioned. i hope you do somewhere in your programs that goldman sachs issued a report saying the british is 5% saying the british economy is 5% less would have been if less than it would have been if we had brexit. but we hadn't had brexit. but i won't go there. that's another matter. m atter. >> matter. >> well, it's actually a classic example, roger, a classic example. roger, of a bbc, um, mindset squeezing in a little barbed comment about brexit at the end. but in a nutshell, um, it seems to be the news output that's offending people the most. got 20s. give it, give it to us. roger

>> i think in these circumstances, when people have such divided opinions, you nobody will like the news. everybody will unhappy. and the classic thing is you blame the messenger. the bbc has got a problem with working class people. we need proper debate people. we need a proper debate about public service about what public service broadcasting is. but in these circumstances where nobody can agree, you can do what you do , agree, you can do what you do, take largely one side and you have a group of satisfied people , or you can try and hold you try to hold it between the two and you result. you don't have to cut the bbc off. >> that's very, very satisfying. please stick with us. i'm martin daubney gb news got lee daubney on gb news got lee anderson will not want anderson next. you will not want to miss it. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar , the sponsors of whether solar, the sponsors of whether on . gb news. good afternoon. on. gb news. good afternoon. welcome to your latest gb news weather update with me, annie from the met office. there'll be further showers through the rest of day. some sunny spells of the day. some sunny spells too, all of us is too, but for all of us it is feeling cooler than of late.

encouragement of multiculturalism, the encouragement of identity politics, the encouragement of everybody having a label and everybody having a label and everybody being separate rather than us all being treated equally before the law . this is equally before the law. this is where we've got to and i'm afraid. add to that a lack of moral courage and leadership coming from government . it coming from government. it coming from government. it coming from government. it coming from the church of england . we've forgotten who we england. we've forgotten who we are . we've forgotten what we are. we've forgotten what we are. we've forgotten what we are. we've forgotten what we are. we are a very tolerant country . we believe in freedom country. we believe in freedom of religious expression. of course we do. but here's the point. every thing we believe in, everything we've built over the last thousand years and more is based on family name on and underpinning all of it, our judeo—christian principles and their right through our constitutional settlement and everything else. and we've forgotten that we're afraid to stand up for that. and now it's that that is being crushed. and to see the fear stalking the

happen. so is it down to police chiefs and therefore sadiq khan, who is the overall in who of course is the overall in charge met policing, to charge of the met policing, to tell enforce law tell officers to enforce the law and ensure that jews and people from feel safe, that from israel feel safe, that language sweeping language there is about sweeping away removing the state away israel, removing the state of israel, broadcast to big of israel, broadcast on to big ben offensive to israel , ben that is offensive to israel, clearly, and to jews living here. >> well, i told the copper in person in 2016, laws were passed prohibiting parliamentary buildings used buildings being used for broadcast and the law need planning to do that. >> there it is. unauthorised projections of parliamentary buildings. anybody can google this stuff . are they all this stuff. why are they all bill don't know and i do. bill don't know this and i do. why is my operation why why is my operation operational knowledge law operational knowledge of the law better coppers? you better than the coppers? you could thrown a towel over better than the coppers? you coulrthe thrown a towel over better than the coppers? you coulrthe over rown a towel over better than the coppers? you coulrthe over the] a towel over better than the coppers? you coulrthe over the projector over better than the coppers? you coulrthe over the projector and over the over the projector and just that way. just done it that way. >> you didn't. of course you >> but you didn't. of course you wouldn't do that. but i mean, well, i wanted to do more than that. >> i, i wanted to destroy that camera bit. if i'd done camera a bit. if i'd have done that, i'd have been the one getting nicked. >> you can't do that. so i didn't do property. of course you do that. why didn't do property. of course you the do that. why didn't do property. of course you the police. why didn't do property. of course you the police step why didn't do property. of course you the police step in?y didn't do property. of course you the police step in? it's didn't the police step in? it's an operational and that's it. >> and they didn't do that. and

this the problem. the problem this is the problem. the problem is ground in the media, is on the ground in the media, in the country. people feel we have tiered policing now. have two tiered policing now. chris do number 10 this. are chris do number 10 get this. are they to it. op eds in they waking up to it. op eds in they waking up to it. op eds in the are one thing, but the telegraph are one thing, but what about some concrete blooming what about some concrete blo the 1g of what about some concrete blo the1g of number 10 have >> the problem of number 10 have got and all politicians have is that police are that the police are operationally independent. we don't have politicised police don't have a politicised police force. how they force. it's up to them how they apply force. it's up to them how they apply may have felt apply laws. they may have felt at they're not at the time where they're not here themselves, but here to explain themselves, but had in and removed had they stepped in and removed that covered up, push that camera, covered it up, push it the ground or whatever it to the ground or whatever happened to it, that may have been more been inflamed and caused more problems it wasn't problems than it was? it wasn't caused causing. no one was caused cause causing. no one was being by the images on being hurt by the images on parliament. despite jews parliament. despite how jews may have they may have felt about it, they may have felt about it, they may have felt about it, they may have felt it may have inflamed a delicate situation. we don't know answer know the answer to that question, politicians can't question, but politicians can't get in that. martin. question, but politicians can't get okay, in that. martin. question, but politicians can't get okay, well, that. martin. question, but politicians can't get okay, well, let's martin. question, but politicians can't get okay, well, let's go artin. question, but politicians can't get okay, well, let's go now >> okay, well, let's go now to the former deputy chair of the conservative lee conservative party, lee anderson, for anderson, of course, mp for ashfield, doubt anderson, of course, mp for ashfiethat doubt anderson, of course, mp for ashfiethat conversationyubt anderson, of course, mp for ashfiethat conversation there. heard that conversation there. people are absolutely furious in in the in the views. we're getting in today. lee here's a typical comment from audrey

the ultimate voting. >> and this result >> and this this is a result of weak leadership . weak leadership. >> this is starmer. >> this is starmer. >> i mean, i've got a little bit of sympathy to speak. >> did i did sign the edm, but >> i did i did sign the edm, but this stems with starmer and it stems con, god forbid, as stems with con, god forbid, as martin, if labour get in control at the next election, expect more of this across our great country and ed, what's the answer then, lee? >> i mean, it got to the point where the aggro on the streets and i was in the thick of it. i saw the police turning a blind to eye face coverings to projectiles being thrown and outside they were haranguing people inside and they were holding up placards saying your grandchildren will need to know how you voted . is there how you voted. is there a climate of fear inside parliament? lee? are people voting now not with their hearts, but through fear ? hearts, but through fear? >> well, there is a climate of fear, martin, obviously, and that's our own fault. >> that's all our fault . it's >> that's all our fault. it's the whole of parliament. it's ourjob the whole of parliament. it's our job to the whole of parliament. it's ourjob to actually the whole of parliament. it's our job to actually run the country. >> now, look, it's 40 years this

this year since the, uh, it's the anniversary of the miners strike. >> and i was on some of the picket lines with my dad and kim and dad going to orgreave and and my dad going to orgreave and coming a changed man. coming back a changed man. >> there was different type of >> there was a different type of policing there. >> not saying we >> martin. i'm not saying we should back to that brutal should go back to that brutal sort policing that i sort of police policing that i saw the lines all saw on the picket lines all those years ago. >> but tell you what we could >> but i tell you what we could do, with little bit of that do, do with a little bit of that back now to control our streets, because people are turning because people are just turning up their thousands and doing up in their thousands and doing anything and they anything they want, and they are laughing. they are laughing at our feel our police. and i feel absolutely disgusted. again, absolutely disgusted. and again, this con he's, he's, this stems with con he's, he's, he's actually given our he's he's actually given our given capital city away to given our capital city away to his mates. we've got starmer there. we're using khan's pockets . he's doing nothing. pockets. he's doing nothing. he's interested in getting he's more interested in getting into number 10 and giving our country away than actually looking country . and a looking after our country. and a special message, martin, don't get quite about this. get quite angry about this. anybody who's about anybody who's thinking about voting reform at the voting for reform at the election, thinks this election, who thinks this is going sort out all our going to sort out all our problems, look, beware , care, problems, look, beware, care, because you let labour in

because if you let labour in through the back expect through the back door, expect more this expect more of this and expect our cities taken over by these cities to be taken over by these lunatics. but leon and chris hope, in a studio here. >> surely you're confusing the two things there. there's policy. there's law being passed, the police are and passed, but the police are and should be operationally independent. i mean , you can't independent. i mean, you can't blame choices made by the. let me, let me, let me let me finish. you can't blame operational choices made by the police on the ground, on politicians. the laws are there . politicians. the laws are there. there's a question about the why the police didn't enforce them operationally. but you can't really divide. bring those two into the same place because they're not. there's a separate issue here with how the police are are applying laws passed by you in parliament? >> yes. no, i get that , chris, >> yes. no, i get that, chris, 100. know, ultimately 100. but, you know, ultimately we run the country. and if the police aren't doing their job and they're not doing the job, chris, know, need to chris, as you know, we need to step in and take over. you know, it's time we scrapped the it's about time we scrapped the membership. but you can't you can't the can't you can't take the politicians can't take over the policing are

policing that is not how we are in this country. >> well, chris, go back to 1984 and look at what maggie did and the conservative government in 1984 when they ensured that the that the working miners got to work in this country, there comes a time in this country where where the all of parliament has got to make a stand and saying this is not good enough. >> there are people on our streets, our jewish community are death of going out are sick to death of going out because this nonsense we saw being shot onto big ben elizabeth tower wednesday elizabeth tower on wednesday night . something night. something needs to happen. cant night. something needs to happen. can't just keep happen. we can't just keep saying it's an operational matter . we've to do something. >> but, but, but your government brought elected policing brought in, um, elected policing and commissioners. they do and crime commissioners. they do exist. have got sadiq khan. exist. you have got sadiq khan. he's in charge. get rid of him tomorrow, with the tomorrow, along along with the home . now, today, home secretary. now, today, james cleverly, who's the home secretary? he said got to secretary? he said you've got to divide operational of divide the operational powers of police with policy and, and police with with policy and, and that that is why we have trust in our police in this country. if you if you mess with that, you're in real trouble, surely. >> well, what? trust is there,

chris? in the police, in the metropolitan the metropolitan police at the moment scandal after moment we've seen scandal after scandal the with the, uh, scandal with the with the, uh, sexual, cases coming to the sexual, uh, cases coming to the fore. we're seeing this nonsense on our streets. we've seen it , on our streets. we've seen it, the we're seeing it the blm riots. we're seeing it now on parliament square on almost a weekly basis . are you almost a weekly basis. are you telling me this trust they're seriously . seriously. >> well, so what are we going to do about it, then, lee? i mean, what do we do? send send in the batons like an 84? well i think the police take the police need to take a different direction, martin. >> obviously it's very, very difficult. is right in one difficult. chris is right in one thing says, you know, thing that he says, you know, ultimately mayor khan is the is the is in charge of the police. he's the police and crime commissioner. ultimately, you know, the people london know, the people of london need to to census. i think, to come to the census. i think, in may and get rid of him and restore some pride and some safety onto streets of london. >> okay. we'll have to leave it there. of course, sadiq khan there. and of course, sadiq khan isn't here defend himself. isn't here to defend himself. a lot pops had him lot of pops were had at him there. um, he would no doubt disagree that. but disagree with a lot of that. but thanks for joining us, disagree with a lot of that. but

particular proceedings. i say that because the court of appeal rejected her appeal , and all rejected her appeal, and all three judges agreed that the appeal could not succeed it. in short, the court of appeal had to decide whether the earlier tribunal siak, the special immigration appeals commission, had made an error of law in their approach . the court of their approach. the court of appeal were not really deciding the case anew or afresh. they were just seeing whether the decision contained any error of law . now, given that three court law. now, given that three court of appeal judges have rejected the legal argument and found that there was no arguable error of law or approach taken by the un, the previous tribunal, it seems to me that getting to the supreme court and taking this matter further is going to be exceptionally difficult for her and paul. >> it's worth bearing in mind an extortionate amount of taxpayers money has been spent on this by my reckoning, it's £4 million and rising in legal aid. surely

there's a justifiable reason now to call time on this money? >> well , it's news to me that >> well, it's news to me that it's 4 million, and that is an enormous sum of money that perhaps could have been spent on other matters. >> um, there is something that is worth saying, which when is worth saying, which is when one reads court of appeal one reads the court of appeal decision, couple of decision, one sees a couple of factors which make this factors which which make this case rather sad. um, i'm not saying the decision is wrong. firstly, of appeal firstly, the court of appeal recorded there was credible recorded that there was credible evidence that she a victim evidence that she was a victim of trafficking sexual of trafficking for sexual purposes. and secondly, the court found that there was a at least an arguable case that the police, uh , social services and police, uh, social services and the local authority school, rather, and the local authority had failed in their duties to prevent this sort of thing happening. so one has some sympathy for her, perhaps at the very beginning , knowing, um, very beginning, knowing, um, where the state failed her. however, having said that , it is however, having said that, it is a large sum of money and i would struggle to see how the lawyers could justify any more public funding to take this matter to

the supreme court, given what is a quite an emphatic loss , um, in a quite an emphatic loss, um, in the court of appeal , do you the court of appeal, do you think that situation, paul, could change in the future if we have a change of government, for example, and sir keir starmer gets for in example, um, a few years ago, he said he thought that revoking king begum's citizenship was the wrong decision . well, uh, mr starmer decision. well, uh, mr starmer has a recent track record of changing his mind on on various things . um, changing his mind on on various things. um, some people would say to see the way the wind is blowing. um, i think it would be very unpopular if the law was changed in respect of one individual. and it has to be remembered that the court of appeal found that there was nothing wrong in the assessment, that a security risk to that she was a security risk to the british public. so people might justifiably find might well justifiably find that, um, excluding somebody by way of depriving them of their nationality to someone that poses a risk to british society is entirely justified. and i query whether the whether if

keir starmer is forming a government, he would , um, invite government, he would, um, invite what is clearly going to be a huge amount of adverse publicity for the sake of bringing back one individual, um, whom it has never really been suggested is not a threat to the united kingdom. it seems to be the her case is predicated and i can understand why, on the basis that there was a there is a case that there was a there is a case that she was trafficked. um, but it would a government if i was in a government as a lawyer, would i think that this is worth a candle? no >> okay. paul turner, thank you for your advice. and it's worth pointing out that if we were to get begum back in the country, it would be thick end of a quarter of £1 million per year every year to house her in a high security jail. and if you were released, then were ever released, then there'll huge amount of there'll be a huge amount of money in benefits and full time security going for security going out. for now, thatis security going out. for now, that is not going to happen. now. there's lots more to now. there's lots more still to come between now and 6:00. sir keir starmer is expected to be our prime minister this time keir starmer is expected to be our fyear. minister this time keir starmer is expected to be our fyear. well;ter this time

writer claimed today that the closer sir keir gets to power , closer sir keir gets to power, the more he seems to behave like his predecessor, jeremy corbyn. and that's according to fred depher , who works at the legatum depher, who works at the legatum institute, the legatum institute is owned by the legatum group and the group is also one of the lead investors in the holding company of gb news. so let's discuss this topic further now with the political commentator joe phillips . joe. so there's a joe phillips. joe. so there's a feeling emerged this week that when push came to shove, sir keir appeared to lean on the speaker and the return of sectarian politics. some are saying, particularly around the middle east, seems to feel like the bad old days. what's your take? well he has said quite clearly, sir keir starmer, that he did go to see the speaker, sir lindsay hoyle. >> he has denied and i have no reason to disbelieve him , that reason to disbelieve him, that he made any threats, although i'm surprised that the telegraph

published . that that article, published. that that article, which claims with no substantiation , that the speaker substantiation, that the speaker was threatened by um sir keir starmer. i mean, i think, you know, as your listeners and viewers have just been saying, martin, the scenes in parliament or an absolute disgrace and apart from the fact that, you know, votes in westminster are not going to make much impact on the poor people of gaza or israel . um, the poor people of gaza or israel. um, to see all the parties behaving so badly, um, and throwing their toys out of a pram was absolutely shameful. and i think it shames our parliamentary system . um, so parliamentary system. um, so i don't think that keir starmer, um, can take the blame for this. i think leslie, um, lindsay hoyle has very clearly and very movingly apologised for what was clearly a mistake . i think he clearly a mistake. i think he probably genuinely was trying to do the right thing , but you sort do the right thing, but you sort of wonder why, as it's so fractious and people have such

strong views on this particular issue of the middle east. why the three four parties didn't get together . um, and say, let's get together. um, and say, let's have a free vote on this , uh, have a free vote on this, uh, let people vote according to their conscience. >> um, i mean, you know, and if you can say that, that is, um, core, uh, starmer becoming closer to corbyn, i don't quite see where that's going because, i mean, he's actually he bent over back to get rid of the anti—semitism that was rife in the labour party. >> don't forget, martin, jeremy corbyn has never apologised and he's never taken any responsibility , even though he responsibility, even though he was found guilty, um, by the equalities and human rights court . court. >> okay, joe phillips, we're going to have to leave it there. as you say, corbyn might be gone, but the palestine problem seems to be an omnipresent backdrop of the labour party to this day . now moving on, gb news this day. now moving on, gb news can reveal that half of the judges, half of the judges

currently serving on the european court of human rights, have never held similar positions in the past. you couldn't make it up. i martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel .

>> you're listening to gb news radio . welcome radio. welcome back. >> it's coming up to 548. you're watching or listen to martin daubney on gb news. and it's time now for a cracking gb news exclusive because we found out that exactly half of the 46 judges dictating to britain in the european court of human rights have never held adjudicating positions in the past. that's right. they're not even lawyers . well, joining me even lawyers. well, joining me now to discuss this is the conservative mp for rayleigh and wickford, mark francois. mark welcome to the show. mark astonishing. absolutely astonishing. the people dictating . laws to the echr

dictating. laws to the echr aren't even lawyers . aren't even lawyers. >> some of us have been arguing for a long time , martin, that for a long time, martin, that the european court of human rights in strasbourg is fundamentally different from the courts that we think of in our country . back in the united country. back in the united kingdom , people instinctively kingdom, people instinctively expect that their courts to be objective and to operate on the bafis objective and to operate on the basis of the evidence that is presented to them . the european presented to them. the european court of human rights in strasbourg is an intensely political court. it's not an objective court in the way we think of a court in britain . it think of a court in britain. it takes highly political decisions . most controversially recently about issues of immigration and asylum . and your figures , which asylum. and your figures, which are shocking . your word is aptly

are shocking. your word is aptly used. demonstrate state in very ordinary english. just just how different this court is from the courts in britain . courts in britain. >> yeah. and mark, um, cracking exclusive by keith bayes, my colleague, 11 of them. so 25% haven't served as a judge or a lawyer . so these people aren't lawyer. so these people aren't qualified to do the jobs that the big question next has to be, mark, is it time finally for a referendum to leave the echr ? referendum to leave the echr? >> well, the court is i will answer your question . the court answer your question. the court is overreaching because it's a political institution . it tends political institution. it tends to stick its nose in where it isn't welcome. so if you think a few years ago they tried to take to insist that prisoners in jail should still be allowed to have the vote, and to his credit, the

then prime minister, david cameron , just said very simply , cameron, just said very simply, this is none of your business. we're going to ignore you . and we're going to ignore you. and effectively we did. and in the end , in a desperate attempt to end, in a desperate attempt to kind of maintain some sort of authority, the strasbourg court backed down. but we should do this more often . we should have this more often. we should have done this before we had all these rules on the rwanda . we these rules on the rwanda. we should have just said to the court, this is not your business. you are overreaching . business. you are overreaching. you are interfering. you are overtly political . we're not overtly political. we're not accepting your jurisdiction here. now there are many other countries in europe that now have this problem. look at meloni and the italians. look at the immigration problems in germany. so you're in a situation now where a number of other european countries are talking about wanting to renegotiate the european

convention on human rights i think we should give that a go. but if that does not work, judge it. as we tried to renegotiate our membership of the eu, you remember our cameron did that . remember our cameron did that. it didn't really succeed . we it didn't really succeed. we ended up having a referendum and we decided peacefully and democratically to leave the eu. so my short answer to your question is we should now i would like to see in the conservative manifesto a commitment to renegotiate the european convention on human rights and the role of the court. but if that does not succeed, then i believe we should leave. i hope i mean, i've given some context that answer, but i hope that's a clear answer. and i think you would be surprised even members of the one nation group, from a different tradition in the conservative party, many of those people would at least support the idea of renegotiating . so i think you

renegotiating. so i think you would find across the conservative party there's a lot more consensus on that than some people might expect , which more consensus on that than some people might expect, which means it's not inconceivable . we could it's not inconceivable. we could put that in a manifesto in which case i think it would be really popular. >> yeah, no doubt a lot of people watching this show would concur. thank you so much for joining us. mark francois, on this friday afternoon . and this friday afternoon. and surely i agree with with mark there, surely the answer we don't even need to leave of this convention. just just tell them what's the equivalent of up yours delors as they used to do . yours delors as they used to do. giorgia meloni they're still in it. well, they've declared a state emergency. done state of emergency. they've done offshore containment of immigrants in albania. they've gone around the court. we don't need to even listen to these people anyway, that's a separate conversation. i want to get to a few your emails. we've had few of your emails. we've had hundreds hundreds of emails hundreds and hundreds of emails today topic of islamism today on the topic of islamism taking our streets. suella taking over our streets. suella braverman, of course, those braverman, of course, put those comments out . um, here's one comments out. um, here's one from alan. alan says this martin, you are 100% right and i

support you so do all the decent people. i applaud your bravery. it's about time someone stood up to this mob. alan, of course, is talking about going out there and filming mob and filming the mob on wednesday, the evidence wednesday, giving the evidence to the police. and number 10, follow gb news they watch follow gb news lead. they watch this channel. they're listening to the people . they're listening to the people. they're listening to the people. they're listening to you. the viewer. when you write in, in your droves and say, sort the streets out. saw this mess out. number 10 are listening, and we make sure that we give you the great british public. we give you the great british pubuc.a we give you the great british public. a voice on that matter. audrey says this, martin, i don't recognise our once great country anymore. joanne says this martin, this country will never recover its identity . we never recover its identity. we need to send the army in to sort out the mess on our streets. peter says this . the police are peter says this. the police are afraid to arrest these people. so no matter how many laws are passed, the police will still do nothing . paul says this. well nothing. paul says this. well said suella, the police are a

disgrace . carol. i'm not even disgrace. carol. i'm not even jewish and this was extremely offensive to me. disgraceful to treat the peaceful jewish people like this. james adds this a vote for labour is a vote for no order. all over our streets. joyce yes it is not just jews have been offended. i am a christian and i find this deeply offensive . that's it. thank you offensive. that's it. thank you very much for joining offensive. that's it. thank you very much forjoining me offensive. that's it. thank you very much for joining me this week. um, i'll be here three till six next week. thank you. so much for all your comments. it means the world to me. stick around because after this it's michelle dewberry with dewbs & co michelle dewberry with dewbs& co until have a fantastic until then, have a fantastic friday a peaceful weekend. friday and a peaceful weekend. thank much . thank you very much. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsor of weather on . gb solar sponsor of weather on. gb news. good afternoon. welcome to your latest gb news weather update with me, annie from the met office. they'll be further showers through the rest of the day. some sunny spells too, but
