why members of his cabinet aren't calling this out and aren't calling this out and aren't condemn this . it's like aren't condemn this. it's like they're complicit in this sort of racism. and i think the message it sends is muslims are fair game when it comes to racism and anti—muslim hatred . racism and anti—muslim hatred. it's not good enough. in 2024, in the united kingdom , i must in the united kingdom, i must admit, i've never seen him as animated or as angry as he was when he made that statement yesterday morning. >> um, and very swiftly in the afternoon, anderson was dropped , afternoon, anderson was dropped, issuing this statement following following a call with the chief whip. i understand the difficult position. i have put both he and the prime minister in with regard to my comments. i fully accept that they had no option but to suspend the whip in these circumstances. however i will continue to support the government's efforts to call out extremism in all its forms, be that anti—semitism ism or islamophobia , its forms be that

islamophobia, its forms be that and anti—semitism or islam phobia. sorry, there. joining me now is political commentator peter spencer to bring us up to speed on what's happening with this story. peter thank you very much for joining this story. peter thank you very much forjoining us this much for joining us this afternoon. um, peter , events afternoon. um, peter, events moved incredibly quickly yesterday. um what can you what can you tell us about what happens now to lee anderson? he has been suspended. so what is the procedure from this point onwards ? onwards? >> well, i mean, there can be no question that he's so fond of firing from the hip that he is now managed to shoot himself in both feet. >> remember, it was so recently that he got over excited about rwanda and lost his job as a deputy chair of the party, which he subsequently very clearly regretted. and now now he has been chucked out of the party for what is widely seen as islamophobe phobic commentary. now what happens next? frankly

is anyone's guess. i mean , it is anyone's guess. i mean, it would not surprise me in the slightest bit if pretty soon he starts to wish he'd kept his gob shut a bit longer, or at least toned it down a little bit . will toned it down a little bit. will they take it any further? well where else can they take it? and of course, then the question that there is this vague question, will he join another party like reform? i think that's very unlikely. my guess is that he will he will keep a little bit stumm for the storm for the time being and say his prayers at at some point they will forgive him and let him back into the party. do you think if he apologised sized he would be allowed back into the party? >> and would that indeed be the right thing for the conservatives to do? >> well, it would certainly help, but i think that they couldn't do anything to hastily, because what sadiq khan khan said , the london mayor that , um, said, the london mayor that, um, the conservative party stands accused of harbouring

islamophobes actually did resonate. and i do have to say that in one sense, lee anderson is a metaphor for something much broader. remember that, um , broader. remember that, um, which is the hatred and carnage of the middle east is now spilling over into our streets in a albeit a muted form. we have a serious spike in both anti—semitic and anti—islamic attacks. we have no fewer than three, um, mps of differing parties who now have special security protection because of presumably threats against their lives . and then, of course , lives. and then, of course, that's one point. and then the second point is that we are expecting a general election at some point between the end of next month and the beginning of next month and the beginning of next year. god alone. god alone knows when, but there, give or take. and as a consequence , take. and as a consequence, everybody is weaponizing everything. the debate. so

called has become utterly toxic , called has become utterly toxic, and anything that looks like potential targets, it's in range. they take a property, in fact, they take a property even if it isn't in range. >> i mean, obviously, lee isn't the only problem along these lines that the conservative party are facing the moment party are facing at the moment is braverman liz is suella braverman and liz truss have both been very outspoken in some of the things they've this week. should they've said this week. should they've said this week. should the take some sort of the party take some sort of action them ? action against them? >> well, i don't actually quite see what they can do about it. i mean, what is managed west lindsey happening is that the calculations being taken in across a wide swathe of the conservative party, which that they are going to lose their next election, they're going to lose it very badly, in which case the immediate question is right , who gets to replace rishi right, who gets to replace rishi sunak? oh, this is going to be lots of fun, isn't it? let's have a jolly good old bunfight and bash one another up and add that in short, is what's going on behind the scene. >> it is. it is frightening

because, you know, on the one hand, you've got accusations which seem to have been played out this week that the conservative party is riven with islamophobia. but on the other hand, you've got the main opposition party, which, if we're all honest, looked like they're going to win the next election, which still has appears to have a problem appears to have a huge problem with anti semitism . with anti semitism. >> well, i think it's not fair to say huge keir starmer is a funny old cove, but the fact is that he has been utterly ruthless in rooting out anti—semites within his party. it would appear that his party candidate or earlier candidate for the forthcoming rochdale by—election managed to slip through the net and, um, he has been he's been removed from the from the candidature. i think that's a word . from the candidature. i think that's a word. um from the candidature. i think that's a word . um because , well that's a word. um because, well whatevs. yeah um, because of because of what was perceived as his, his anti—semitism. and of

course , that's left them in course, that's left them in a complete frightful muddle. i mean, what the hell is going to happenin mean, what the hell is going to happen in rochdale? god alone knows. >> and, peter, what do you make of the developments this week on the front think of the the front page? i think of the sunday times today and the sunday times today and the sunday telegraph. we have seen that mps across the board need their security bolstered because of the threat they are all living under now. this is mainly appues living under now. this is mainly applies to three female mps. i believe this story pertains to, uh, what do you make of that situation? >> well, i think it's totally terrifying to be honest. i mean, i mean, when i started in parliament, people had been not in parliament, i should say recovering parliament. people actually had for mp and actually had picked for mp and a certain degree of reverence . certain degree of reverence. well, now then, now it would appear that in this of appear that in this sort of crazy keyboard warrior age that we in, they're fair game we live in, they're fair game for actually being murdered. and there been a few murders in there have been a few murders in recent remembering, of recent years remembering, of course, was, um, the course, that was, um, the speaker of the house of commons is defence during those chaotic

scenes in in in parliament last week when he bent the rules very severely and then got into frightful trouble for it because he said, look , what i have in he said, look, what i have in mind here is the security of mps . the upshot being, of course, that what was going on last week made anna sewell and actually look really very sensible . look really very sensible. >> um, peter, one final question. i mean, do you think now that most people will be put off about becoming mps at the time, we really need good people to become mps? this is not helping people go forward for that job, is it? >> no. absolutely not. no i mean there's been at numerous examples of people who've been offered the chance to stand for parliament and said, look, thanks, but no thanks. frankly, it's too dangerous, it's too beastly. and i simply don't want to go there. and so you have, in a sense, to that extent, to some degree a, a body politic , which degree a, a body politic, which is actually quite intimidate . is actually quite intimidate. and that is a very unwelcome,

ugly development within our discourse. yeah. >> frightening stuff. thank you very much. that's our peter spencen very much. that's our peter spencer, former political correspondent for sky. thank you very much for joining correspondent for sky. thank you very much forjoining us correspondent for sky. thank you very much for joining us there, peter. okay okay. um, huge debate to be had on this one, isn't there? so let's see what a great panel for you today. uh what my panel make this i'm joined by former leader of ukip, henry bolton. and co—founder of novara media, aaron bastani. thank joining thank you very much for joining me gentlemen. me this afternoon, gentlemen. happy afternoon you. happy sunday afternoon to you. you too. so glad to you. now, this is a huge debate to be had. a lot of things move very fast yesterday i have to yesterday we had, i have to admit, the animated i've admit, the most animated i've seen. sadiq khan felt really passionately about what he was saying. quite clearly. um, and, and then almost immediately after, in the afternoon , we had after, in the afternoon, we had lee anderson being suspended. um, i'm going to come to you first on this one. what do you make of developments over the past few days? >> well, i generally don't like mps losing the whip because i think ultimately they're

representatives for 70,000 odd people. representatives for 70,000 odd peo um, i don't representatives for 70,000 odd peoum, i don't like >> um, and i don't like centralised power with party leaders. >> however, he said was >> however, what he said was outrageous . and if there was outrageous. and if there was a labour politician who said that a conservative mayor like andy street in the west midlands was controlled by radical jews , i controlled by radical jews, i think people would understand that as quite straightforwardly racist . um, with these kinds of racist. um, with these kinds of topics in particular, politicians need to be clear and thoughtful with their words. i would have a lower threshold for members of the public, but with politicians, we should have quite a high threshold and i think failed to meet that think he failed to meet that threshold. he could have apologised and said that he's chosen to . not think as chosen to. not and i think as well, more variable is that well, one more variable is that he's his seat at he's going to lose his seat at the next election. in all likelihood . was surprised likelihood. so i was surprised to from that gentleman just to hear from that gentleman just then actually, in all then that actually, in all likelihood, he return to then that actually, in all likefold.d, he return to then that actually, in all likefold. i he return to then that actually, in all likefold. i think return to then that actually, in all likefold. i think therejrn to then that actually, in all likefold. i think there are to then that actually, in all likefold. i think there are high the fold. i think there are high incentives to join incentives for him to join reform or stand as an independent. not that he will, but think it's as but i don't think it's as implausible as was being made implausible as as was being made out there . out there. >> okay, that was peter spencer ,

>> okay, that was peter spencer, a former sky political correspondent. i'm coming to you on this one, henry. i mean, do you lee anderson was it you think lee anderson was it was right that he was suspended for what he said . for what he said. >> that's a matter for the conservative party >> and actually tried to join >> and i actually tried to join the party, they the conservative party, and they said be a troublemaker. said that i'd be a troublemaker. um, i've got a high um, because i've got a high profile, um, what they don't want quite a lot of them already there, though, isn't there? >> yeah, there are, there are, but um , there is but there are, um, there is a fear in the conservative party that seems to be increasing of people speaking out. >> and what i would i echo the words just said that actually politicians need to be thoughtful about the language that they use. >> of course they do. how >> of course they do. how >> however, we should not just leave it at that because lee anderson is reflecting an increasing sense of concern across society . party. and i'm across society. party. and i'm not talking about extremists. i'm not talking about people on the far right. i'm talking about sort of generally small c

conservative people who acquire fairly humble in their life. they just get on with it. but they are massively concerned at what they see. and, you know, the comments about sadiq khan, sadiq khan has embarked on upon a series of policies and decisions that actually appear . decisions that actually appear. he needs to be careful if this is wrong, because it is the perception that he is creating. and anybody who says then is not, is in denial or has got their own agenda. but he is. he seemingly pursuing a series of decisions and policies that , uh, decisions and policies that, uh, are removing or overwhelming the traditional character and customs and history of the city of london? and he's got to remember the city of london is the capital city of the united kingdom, not just his town and, you know, the renaming of rail railway lines and so on. the issue over the statue and on the fourth plinth in trafalgar square , these sort of things square, these sort of things send the message to, if you like, the more traditional

engush like, the more traditional english white community that he wants to suppress their culture. >> henry, i think that's a really interesting point you've just made there. i mean, people viewers are getting in touch. it's gb views at gb news. please do get in touch. you already are. this is a subject very close to all your hearts. robert has said, um, yet another mp removed from the tory party for telling the truth . echoing what telling the truth. echoing what you're there does appear you're saying, there does appear to be an out there , a silent to be an out there, a silent majority who essentially said they're not racist , but they are they're not racist, but they are concerned about how they perceive things to be going . one perceive things to be going. one example being the beaming of the from the river to the sea on big ben and nothing i know i know, the tower isn't called big ben . the tower isn't called big ben. that's the bell. but on the on the tower, um, and nothing was done about that. so there is that perception that people are frightened to speak out. and a lot people already getting in lot of people already getting in touch saying lee anderson was echoing think. what do echoing what i think. what do you of elizabeth you make of that? elizabeth tower? >> t- >> elizabeth tower. >> elizabeth tower. >> yeah, i shorthand okay, whatever .

whatever. >> um, what i would say is, look, although if sadiq has his hands, it would probably be changed. >> there you go. martin luther king tower. >> would say is, if >> um, what i would say is, if you want to criticise sadiq khan for liberal, all for being a liberal, by all means that. think he's means do that. i think he's a vanilla identikit liberal or knife crime or ruining tfl etc. etc. but what you can, can etc. but what you can, you can have point view. have that point of view. >> that's criticism. >> that's a criticism. >> that's a criticism. >> fine. you can have >> that's fine. you can have that ulez or whatever. that on ulez or whatever. >> but for instance, his position rights, he's position on lgbt rights, he's clearly islamist. he's clearly not an islamist. he's very much, to me, an identikit vanilla left vanilla liberal centre left politician to be a politician who happens to be a muslim and think actually, muslim and i think actually, when anderson thinks when if lee anderson thinks about if henry thinks about about it, if henry thinks about it , they probably with that. >> so if you want to criticise him for that by all means do. >> or the renaming of the various train lines, please various train lines, etc, please go he's not an islamist. >> i you said it's just simply an about it a great deal a great deal an about it a great deal a great deal. um, i spent most of my time thinking about these sort of things, as you probably do. we come to different conclusions, but the thing is that when you combine mine, his

policies with the behaviour of the metropolitan police force with regards to the palestinian protests, um, with, with the threats and the intimidation of members of parliament at direct or indirect , um, he is in or indirect, um, he is in a position often as the mayor of london, to speak out against these things . and when he says these things. and when he says london was built by immigrant s. >> well, i mean, if he goes back about 2000 years. >> yes, i'll give him that. but actually that's not the . case actually that's not the. case >> you know, if you look at, at the profile, the demographic profile of london as it was 30 years ago, 40 years ago, it was very different and london became the world's capital, built by british people, not the immigrant community. >> and unfortunately , henry, >> and unfortunately, henry, we're running out of time. so we have to move on at the moment. um, right. and because we've um, right. and but because we've mentioned the election, are mentioned the election, here are the candidates in the the candidates standing in the rochdale ali rochdale by—election as ali laboun rochdale by—election as ali labour, mark coleman ,

listening to gb news britain's news channel. don't go too far

things like that. >> you're listening to gb news radio . radio. >> welcome back to gb news sunday. happy sunday. hope you're having a marvellous weekend. i'm dawn neesom i'm your tv, online and digital radio on gb news. now just stop oil activists have circulated a manual to help protesters track down and occupy politicians homes. you heard that right . homes. you heard that right. occupy politicians homes . the occupy politicians homes. the document reportedly recommends studying photos of mps clapping for carers during covid. remember that for clues to their addresses, ministers urge police to take robust action against protesters after it was revealed that they are plotting to target politicians offices and homes ahead of the general election. i in the in the week we've just had where we've had a mobs and

they were a mob outside parliament, we've had we've had security being increased. if you've seen your sunday papers , you've seen your sunday papers, front page of the times and telegraph security increased, in particular for female mps, we have a story about eco warriors saying that they are going to occupy , not mps offices, not the occupy, not mps offices, not the house of parliament, but mps homes. i'm sorry what is happening to this world. let's see what my marvellous panel make of this one. um, aaron and um, henry are still with me . um, henry are still with me. henry coming to you first on this one. i find this story particularly shocking. i must admit, in this week of all weeks. >> well, it certainly worrying. i mean , we must recognise, i mean, we must recognise, i think , that this sort of protest think, that this sort of protest has always been in existence . has always been in existence. the duke of wellington at the beginning of the 18. well, i'm not quite that old. >> no. come on, give me a break. >> no. come on, give me a break. >> his nickname was the iron duke. and the reason he was called the iron duke was because he had to fit iron shutters to the windows of house because he had to fit iron shutters to the wind were f house because he had to fit iron shutters to the wind were kept. 1ouse because the mob were kept.

>> didn't know that. >> i didn't know that. >> i didn't know that. >> yeah. thank you. so people think of his think it's because of his military it's not. military background? it's not. so it's always been there. the thing um, in that time, thing is that, um, in that time, you you had militia you know, you had the militia deployed had the deployed and you had the peelers, then you had the peelers, and then you had the police policing protest . s police policing of protest. s was, was was far more effective , was, was was far more effective, maybe sometimes quite brutal . maybe sometimes quite brutal. and i'm glad we've moved on from that. but the point is that these protests have effectively been allowed to happen , have been allowed to happen, have been allowed to happen, have been allowed to up the ante in terms of criminal damage , terms of criminal damage, intimidation, harassment , terms of criminal damage, intimidation, harassment, um, from the eco side. and then we've we've obviously had the palestinian gaza things which have had the same sort of effect. there's not been a effective policing of it. they've been allowed to get away with it. and that is why i think we're seeing the eco lot ramp up their their threats , their their their threats, their rhetoric and their implied into predation of mps. and i say implied because they haven't actually invaded a home yet. and i mean, it was only we need effective policing and the whole

policing sort of ethos. again, it goes back to the city of london or london again, not london or to london again, not the of london, london the city of london, the london as and the policing has as a whole, and the policing has broken down in my i'm a former police officer and i was speaking to a, somebody who's recently left the police and he's saying people are leaving the good people are leaving. the police hand over fist because the leadership is politicised and recruiting the and they're now recruiting the wrong people. you recruit the wrong people. you recruit the wrong people, you'll lose the best people. and that's what's happening . happening. >> we have actually seen this. we didn't we, we have an example, didn't we, in summer where, i it in the summer where, i mean, it wasn't our, um, just appalled. it was greenpeace, but they were actually climbing on rishi sunaks . sunaks roof. >> mm hmm. i mean , so they do do >> mm hmm. i mean, so they do do this sort of thing. >> an idle threat . >> this isn't an idle threat. >> this isn't an idle threat. >> so i haven't seen the contents of this report. you never with these kinds never know with these kinds of things. that's first point. >> secondly, i don't think it's appropriate to occupy occupy somebody personal home. >> i think an office is different. i think there is the right to protest. we're allowed to have quote unquote aggie

protests. >> you know , it was the same of >> you know, it was the same of the countryside alliance in the early they had that right. early 2000. they had that right. >> homes >> but i think with homes i disagree with that. >> think it's probably unwise >> i think it's probably unwise lies. and i don't think it looks good. it funny? jeremy good. but isn't it funny? jeremy corbyn years was beamed onto corbyn for years was beamed onto our screens with the media our tv screens with the media camped outside and squatting outside, showing the world where he lived and what his house looked like . and the second, looked like. and the second, it's actually politicians in the centre. oh my god , don't do centre. oh my god, don't do this, please will freak out, so i do. i am sort of feeling a bit of a bit of hypocrisy. not from you , but in terms of how the you, but in terms of how the story is going . not not from me. story is going. not not from me. the slides are stone in how this story is playing out, because i agree that actually these are homes . therefore, i don't homes. therefore, i don't understand why dozens of journalists camped outside journalists were camped outside that man's home for years . that poor man's home for years. >> be fair, costing even >> but to be fair, costing even his in law. it wasn't his mother in law. it wasn't just him . we seen shots of just him. we have seen shots of bofis just him. we have seen shots of boris johnson going jogging from his home. we had our, um, we've had been subjected to it for

be honest with you. um, aaron, i'm going to come to you first on this one. obviously, you can identify as a woman. if you'd like to talk about this subject, but basically it's they are they're you know they're saying that we, you know , discriminated , we're being discriminated against we're not as fit against because we're not as fit as should to do job. as we should be to do the job. and not women. this and it's not just women. this appues and it's not just women. this applies older men in british applies to older men in british transport you're looking transport forces. you're looking at way. only you can at me in that way. only you can look at me. >> yeah. no, look, i'm here to be the leftie right? >> but let me say lefty in the corner. >> i'm here to be the lefty. uh, but it's, um. is a really but it's, um. this is a really silly story. so only 8% of women fail this test anyway. it's not like majority of women are like the majority of women are failing obviously like the majority of women are failingthe obviously like the majority of women are failingthe bleep obviously like the majority of women are failingthe bleep testyiously like the majority of women are failingthe bleep test t01sly like the majority of women are failingthe bleep test to get into think the bleep test to get into the british transport police is around four and a half. so anybody that school knows, anybody that a pe school knows, it's onerous. it's not particularly onerous. it's not know. but it's it's not easy you know. but it's anybody could do it basically with a little bit of we are going to have trial run in going to have a trial run in this later. this training later. >> careful what you say boys. >> so careful what you say boys. >> so careful what you say boys. >> bring my running >> i didn't bring my running shoes. so 8% of women fail shoes. um, so 8% of women fail it. i mean, you know, it's not fair. but these are genuine

fair. but then these are genuine differences men differences between men and women, vast majority of women, and the vast majority of women, and the vast majority of women it. 4.5 is very low women can do it. 4.5 is very low in infantry. think it's in the infantry. i think it's just nine. nine is quite just below nine. nine is quite strenuous. so that gives you a taste of actually how comparatively low it is. so i find story . um, find this a silly story. um, most women aren't affected by it. if you want to be a member of police, you probably of the police, you probably should you don't should be quite fit. you don't need be a triathlete, but need to be a triathlete, but quite do quite fit will do. >> henry. i mean, i, i do.— >> henry. i mean, i, i do do. >> henry. i mean, i, i do find it a layer and i do find this a silly story, but on the other hand, the serious side is i do want a police force that can physically protect me when i need it. like run after a crook example. >> indeed. >> indeed. >> and i mean, there are all sorts of things about this. um, i was in the infantry and i was in the police, and i can tell you there's a big difference in the fitness level test wise. um and, you know, if we do this , and, you know, if we do this, are we then going to say start applying the same thing to the army, navy and air force and say, well, actually, it's a bit unfair on whoever, so we need to in the navy. it's a bit unfair

on people who are colour blind, isn't can't join isn't it? they can't join the navy. we're going navy. what a shame. we're going to to change the standards to have to change the standards and rules. no no, there are and the rules. no no, there are certain agencies, certain organisations to organisations that are there to protect us, and they are protecting us against, uh , protecting us against, uh, forces, entities, individuals , forces, entities, individuals, circumstances that are in credibly challenging, not just physically but mentally. and if you are fit in body, you are often going to be more fit in mind as well and therefore more able to deal with the trauma and the emotional difficulty of deaung the emotional difficulty of dealing with the things that you'll in the you'll come across in the police. i personally don't care whether somebody be, uh, you know, is big, large, small, tiny , um, whatever colour they are, whatever religion they are, i expect the british police force to recruit and train the best possible people. because if i need to call on them, i need to know that they are producing the best possibly possible quality

response with the same with the fire service and so on. and the armed forces to protect me, my family, my community, my society and anything that compromises on thatis and anything that compromises on that is a failure. it's a failure of leadership . it's failure of leadership. it's a failure of leadership. it's a failure of leadership. it's a failure of policy, and it's a failure of policy, and it's a failure of policy, and it's a failure of operational understanding of what you're there to do. and so sorry, i get a little bit upset about this, but you have i mean, to be fair, henry, you have both served in the military and you've served in the police force, but it's just very briefly without hogging floor but i, hogging the floor again. but i, l, hogging the floor again. but i, i, i cringe when i go around london. i don't live in london, but and i see it's particularly something in london. i see police officers with their hats on the back of their heads, their hands in their pockets. they haven't shaved. they're a mess. haven't . and that mess. they haven't. and that might sound ridiculous , thomas, might sound ridiculous, thomas, but actually it's about the discipline. it's about the ethos . and the british public need to be able to trust, rely upon and turn to these people with confidence. and the guilty should fear them.

>> aaron, i'm just going to bnng >> aaron, i'm just going to bring you quickly on this. we are running out of time. but, um, people saying it's just a british transport police, they just hang around stations making sure that people are getting through the station. but if we think to london bridge think back to the london bridge terror the british terror attacks, the british transport plays a large part in helping that situation so helping that situation there. so it important role. totally it is an important role. totally >> i mean, if you've got anti—social behaviour and that is a very tum, it can be is a very broad tum, it can be somebody bit to somebody who's a bit mouthy to somebody who's a bit mouthy to somebody literally somebody who's literally starting a train. starting a fight on a train. you're to need people who you're going to need people who can that situation. can deal with that situation. and to be clear, this and look, just to be clear, this isn't asking for elite fitness. this really saying can you this is really saying can you carry a light jog for ten minutes? that's what it's not even ten minutes. so even not even ten minutes. so no, i worry, it's one of those stories, you know, we can talk about left, right, polarised ation. i think the overwhelming majority of the british public would silly . it's would say this is silly. it's silly. doesn't break by silly. it doesn't break down by voter preference they'd voter preference or age. they'd probably say, you want probably say, if you want to join police, you probably join the police, you probably should jog for five minutes. >> yeah, exactly. honestly, it's dangerous creates an dangerous because it creates an impression that the police

actually up to this actually aren't up to doing this job which think, you job well, which i think, you know, the way it's publicised. >> have to move on. >> anyway, we have to move on. i'm not the first time i'm saying, henry, be quiet. uh, right. but there's a lot i won't tell any more, i promise. tell him any more, i promise. okay. more up on okay. lots more coming up on today's another great today's show. um another great story. one. uh, could harry story. this one. uh, could harry be prince harry, be deported? that prince harry, that harry. if trump wins a presidential election, donald trump has said that prince harry will be on his own if he wins a second time this year after claiming the duke of sussex betrayed the queen. now in his memoir, spare the prince admitted to formerly taking drugs, which could be used as grounds to deny a us visa application and that could threaten harry's immigration status. so will trump kick harry out and more importantly, do you want him back ? all of that and want him back? all of that and much more to come. i'm dawn neesom and you're watching and listening to gb news, britain's news channel .

right now, talking over zoom and things like that. >> you're listening to tv, news,

radio. >> welcome back to gb news sunday with me. dawn neesom on your tv, online and on radio. now donald trump has said prince harry will be on his own , even harry will be on his own, even if the former president wins a second time this year after claiming the duke betrayed the queen in his memoir, spare the prince admitted to formally taking marijuana, cocaine and psychedelic mushrooms, all of which could be used as grounds to deny a us visa application which could threaten harry's us immigration status , and that if immigration status, and that if trump wins a second time and anything's possible, this is america, he said. i wouldn't protect him . he betrayed the protect him. he betrayed the queen. that's unfair. forgivable. he would be on his own if it was down to me, me. meanwhile, biden has said it's not really an issue . i have no not really an issue. i have no idea what to make of this one.

so i'm going to ask my learned gentleman, aaron, coming to you first on this one. >> well, fortunately for harry, it's not it's not down to him, is it? it's down to the immigration agency. um, i do find it funny that if you have any use of drugs in your past, you won't be able get a visa you won't be able to get a visa application to the us because pretty ask every british pretty much ask every british rock 1960s. and rock band since the 1960s. and they'd same boat so. they'd be in the same boat so. well nigella lawson, wasn't she 2014? >> i mean , she was turned away. >> i mean, she was turned away. i mean, mick jagger is there every ten minutes. >> so i don't know. i mean, so it's an interesting one and obviously it generates headlines which is what trump is so expert at. but i have a proposal. let's do a swap. >> go on. go for it aaron. we send back boris. >> after all, he was he was born in new york and we get harry. i don't think we want. it's like a hostage exchange. >> gb views news. if you >> gb views gb news. if you agree that one. um well, agree with that one. um well, what's that mug there? um, what's in that mug there? um, henry, what do you make of this one? >> well, look, you know what the americans do with harry is up to

them. >> all i can say is that i think that harry should stay over there. he should stay quiet. he should make a life for himself. get on. know, he's a wealthy get on. you know, he's a wealthy man. he's got lots of sort of potential. he can do things over there. please do it. leave us alone. the alone. don't interfere with the royal wish you royal family and i wish you a happy life. but please, donald, you him back you know, don't send him back because just going to be a headache. >> what? >> what? >> what? >> what do we make of the whole donald trump mean, he donald trump thing? i mean, he won last night, beating he, you know, nikki haley her home know, nikki haley in her home state. he does seem state. um, he does seem unstoppable . unstoppable. >> does, although you do >> all he does, although you do have these incredible fines, like, again, i'm on the left. i'm not a fan of donald trump, but the fines are extraordinary . but the fines are extraordinary. you know, $300 million fines. yeah and i wonder what that does to him. and his bottom line. but in terms of winning the republican candidacy , that's republican candidacy, that's a dead cert . i republican candidacy, that's a dead cert. i saw polling yesterday in a battleground state. i think it was michigan, you know, amongst african american men. he's up at 24, 25. now, bear in mind , i think last

now, bear in mind, i think last time he was below 10% in 2016, he was below 10. so that gives you a flavour actually in the states where it matters , don't states where it matters, don't look at the national polls, look at places like wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan . he could pennsylvania, michigan. he could very well. i actually would have him down as the favourite. then again, november is a long way away in politics. a week is a long time, let alone what, eight months? >> yeah, but yes, as i say, he said, i wish i could do it quicker. talking to the actual of which what? henry? >> well, nikki haley, who's the sort of only person who's standing against him at the moment for the republican nomination, i think she's only in something in it because something unforeseen happen. he unforeseen might happen. he might trip down and break his neck. might have. i neck. he might have. nikki, i don't it on him, but. or don't wish it on him, but. or anybody but but the thing is, anything can happen. as aaron says, know, november says, you know, it's november that um, that we're talking about. um, and so , you know, if you've got and so, you know, if you've got to be in the game win the to be in the game to win the game, uh , i, i you game, but, uh, i, i think, you know, it is a strange phenomenon that, uh, on the surface that if

that, uh, on the surface that if that somebody who's being hauled through the courts, who has done things that he should not have done, i mean, the thing with the classified documents is bang to rights, you know, way back about 30 ago, i was custodi an 30 years ago, i was custodi an for very classified for very high classified documents british military documents in a british military headquarters. the same headquarters. and it's the same management as the political management as as the political sphere . just because you're sphere. just because you're president or prime minister doesn't make it any difference . doesn't make it any difference. different. those documents are managed in the same way. and so he's bang to rights on that. but but the more, as you say, the more he gets into trouble. the more he gets into trouble. the more popular he becomes. and that because way, what that is because in a way, what we were talking about earlier in the program, the public are of a view that it's the deep state acting against him. >> the deep state we keep coming back to the deep state are right. okay. you're watching and listening gb news sunday with listening to gb news sunday with me. uh, more me. dawn neesom. uh, lots more coming today's show, but coming up on today's show, but let's find out the let's just find out what the weather's deep state. weather's doing from deep state. jonathan here you go . jonathan here you go. >> a brighter outlook with boxt

shocking that we are in a situation in the united kingdom , situation in the united kingdom, the kingdom where our mps feel so threatened that this has to happen. what do you make of this ? >> well, 7 >> well, unfortunately, it's a sign of the times, but it's nothing new within british politics. if we go back to 1979 with the death of every eve , uh, with the death of every eve, uh, and the ira were behind that blowing up in 1979, uh, we've had a series of, uh, attacks and, uh, terrible , uh, outcomes and, uh, terrible, uh, outcomes with certain politicians , but with certain politicians, but mainly in the from 79 till, uh, the early 20s. um there was the early 2000, rather it was really the ira were the main bulk of, uh, attacks against politicians and some of the worst atrocities against the public. uh, but we've seen that change since 2010, where we come to the terminal of islamic radicals or islamists , what leandersson islamists, what leandersson calls him. now, if we just look at the language behind that, because it's very important when we talk about language. uh, so

islamic radicals or islamist doesn't mean , uh, the religion doesn't mean, uh, the religion islam , by definition, it points islam, by definition, it points at the political ideology that exploits the religion. islam in itself. so people are all getting het up about this, uh, terminal and saying it's racist. it's not racist to point out there's a political ideology. uh, that's wrecking an organisation. and a, and a religion, and that people tend to, uh, paint it with the same brush. so this is where the problem goes. but ever since 2010, we've seen a massive increase where the ira have been replaced, basically by these radicalists , uh, that have, uh , radicalists, uh, that have, uh, done all sorts of terrible things . and in the last two things. and in the last two deaths we've had with our politicians, jo cox and sir david amess, uh, and then we've seen this grow. but these other groups that are coming on to that now. so out of all the ones we get today, day of the attacks on politician is 74% of them, uh, are radical or, uh, islamic

radicals such as you've got the manchester arena bombing as well and lee rigby stabbing of lee rigby and stuff like that. so these things are it's a bit of a snowball effect, but then you can break it down into different sections. the sections. you've got the far left with their attacks on left with with their attacks on people's houses, 11% environmentalists. don't forget the, uh, attack to the prime minister's home in richmond some time ago. and that's been in the news today about their plans of attacking mps houses . uh, 8% of attacking mps houses. uh, 8% of them, uh, are , uh, are them, uh, are, uh, are environmentalists. uh, far right extremists. just 3. and it's funny, you hear the right, the left wing blaming the right wing for all these atrocities when in fact it's a very small number of far right extremists, 3% are down to mental health, and then there's 1% others. uh, i'll. there's1% others. uh, i'll. i made an interesting note of all that this morning because i was trying to collate, um, the actual identify what the who the deaths were and how far it is. so i think there is a time now where parliament needs to factor

in six surety for its mps , in six surety for its mps, because it's as though you're not allowed to have a view. you can't express yourself because it offends someone . and we've it offends someone. and we've seen with the conservative party jolting to expel lee anderson removed the whip without looking at what the language actually is, and he believes he's a straight talking guy, down to earth guy, and he says it how he sees it. so are we going to bnng sees it. so are we going to bring everyone into the, uh, rein everyone in that does that with that expressing themselves? >> if that's the way he expresses himself, he expresses himself way and i don't himself that way and i don't believe that we're looking at the definition of what, uh, radicalism is or, uh, islamists. um, it's not looking at the religion itself. it's looking at the, uh, political ideology behind it. so why does he have the whip removed for that ? and the whip removed for that? and in the light that we've seen, the commotion that went on, uh, last week with the vote on, uh, the, uh, gaza situation , um, it the, uh, gaza situation, um, it just it's beyond belief, really, the way we're all going. and

we're so scared of upsetting the wrong people. so even, um, sir lindsay hoyle , uh, was scared lindsay hoyle, uh, was scared and wanted to protect, uh, labour mps because of upset of language and upsetting the wrong people . we've got to get a grip people. we've got to get a grip on this. and uh, and go in the right direction. and obviously enough with language. be clear about what you're saying and who you're directing it at. and, uh, we should all right with we should be all right with that. i would agree that, that. but i would agree that, uh, mps need extra protection. ian. >> stephen, much, >> stephen, thank you very much, sir. stephen carlton—woods, our political commentator, for joining um you joining us on that one. um you know, saw , frankly, a chaotic know, we saw, frankly, a chaotic is putting it politely this week, isn't it , is putting it politely this week, isn't it, in the house when we had the mob outside , we when we had the mob outside, we had from the river to the sea, beamed to on the elizabeth tower, big ben, etc. um, and we saw lindsay hall basically admitting that he was very worried about mps safety . so, i worried about mps safety. so, i mean, maybe we shouldn't be surprised that this story this weekend that, you know, female mps in particular do need extra security .

security. >> well, there's a few things here we need to take the safety of mps very seriously. we've had two in the last, two mps killed in the last, well, eight years plus of course, the mike freer incident. that's very important i'm that's very important and i'm glad resources are going glad more resources are going towards would say is towards it. what i would say is with regards to what happened last week, don't believe sir last week, i don't believe sir lindsay , if read a story lindsay, if you read a story from the sunday times this week, out actually saying that out today, actually saying that this was a political play by keir starmer and his chief whip to ensure that there was not a vote which would be politically divisive for him. i'm inclined to think that actually, sir lindsay should resign . this is a lindsay should resign. this is a man who's a former labour mp. his father is a labour peer. i think he did a favour to keir starmer. so that he could. >> you don't actually think what sir lindsay hoyle is sir lindsay hoyle did is anything do with. well, anything to do with. well, i don't know. >> read his, i can't >> i can't read his, i can't read his mind. but if you read the times piece, they the sunday times piece, they talk keir starmer going talk about keir starmer going in, smiles, his in, coming out all smiles, his own saying they own staff saying they did a number on lindsay hoyle um, number on lindsay hoyle, um, labour sources telling um nick watt at the bbc on the night we

did this so that we wouldn't have a vote. this is a brilliant day for us. so you put all of that together. sir lindsay hoyle defied that together. sir lindsay hoyle defied convention defied parliamentary convention in in a john bercow in a very much in a john bercow esque way , and i think he did so esque way, and i think he did so with out any legitimacy whatsoever . in with out any legitimacy whatsoever. in spite with out any legitimacy whatsoever . in spite of that, whatsoever. in spite of that, i think at the same time. so it's two things are true, right ? i two things are true, right? i think he should probably resign at the same time, there is clearly threats to mps and they need to looked after. and need to be looked after. and i think it's also important say think it's also important to say historically we've after historically we've looked after senior the cabinet or senior members of the cabinet or the leader the opposition the leader of the opposition that now needs apply that probably now needs to apply to too , which is to backbenchers too, which is sad. it's very i'll finish with this. sorry i spoke a lot, but i'll say this. you don't want your class be your political class to be inoculated the rest of inoculated from the rest of society. you want be able to society. you want to be able to do your shopping on weekend do your shopping on a weekend and member of and see your member of parliament. complain parliament. we can't complain about political about an out—of—touch political elite, know, 365 elite, which i do. you know, 365 days a year. >> yes. and but then behave >> yes. and then but then behave like this means that they can't be in touch with their community. obviously, sir community. and obviously, sir lindsay here to

lindsay hoyle is not here to defend we i mean, defend himself. we i mean, either reason he did what he did the other day isn't great, is it? whether it's protecting the labour party or genuinely worried about the fears . um, and worried about the fears. um, and he has apologised. um but what do you make of this story? >> there's two things in relation to what happened on that gaza debate. number one, do or did not sir keir starmer apply or did not sir keir starmer apply inappropriate pressure to the speaker to make a decision that led to the chaotic results that led to the chaotic results that we saw in the house? if the answer is yes and i don't care why he needs to go, sir keir starmer nonetheless , sir lindsay starmer nonetheless, sir lindsay hoyle made the decision he did to go against convention. um, he has said as you as you mentioned earlier , that that's because he earlier, that that's because he was concerned about security of members of the house. well well, if that's not the case, if he simply submitted to the pressure that sir keir starmer applied , that sir keir starmer applied, um, then he should go. if indeed. and it's when you look

at the disruption to in the last couple of days even conservative party and labour party fundraising events have been interrupted, invaded by crowds of people in the muslims and their associated with the gaza debate itself. um and one can't help but put everything we know together and say our members of parliament are being coerced because of threats or intimidation implied threat, and that we were talking about harassment earlier. that can make people very nervous as well. are our politicians being influenced by threats and coercion because if they are this nation has an existential threat to its parliamentary democracy, and it is not right. it is. in fact, it is entirely wrong. and cowardly for the prime minister for sir keir starmer or anybody else sitting in the house of commons, any other political leader to not call it what it is, if it's there and, and, you know, it's

difficult to say. thankfully, we haven't seen physical attacks recently on politics. but if they are being influenced by the threat or the concern about that, then we have a serious problem and we don't want to see any more. >> but what do we do about this? and we are where we are now. we have seen and frankly, as a female mp, i mean, i would be worried walking through the crowd that are outside. look, no one's saying you shouldn't demonstrate outside parliament. that's the place to demonstrate. but was fairly aggressive. but it was fairly aggressive. well, i, i would be less concerned. >> i'm not concerned about price outside parliament because you've concentration. you've got big concentration. >> that's the >> i'm not saying that's the place protest. place to protest. >> just going to delimit >> i'm just going to delimit something. so might something. so people might find disagreeable statements or whatever. more worrying disagreeable statements or wh.me er. more worrying disagreeable statements or wh.me is more worrying disagreeable statements or wh.me is seeing more worrying disagreeable statements or wh.me is seeing ,�*nore worrying disagreeable statements or wh.me is seeing , like worrying disagreeable statements or wh.me is seeing , like you rying disagreeable statements or wh.me is seeing , like you say,| for me is seeing, like you say, a lone mp walking away from a fundraiser being shouted at. i think that's that's quite concern thing because ultimately, at the house of commons, you have the police, people have a right to protest. it's people. there's a broad agreed. understand ending of somebody do something and somebody might do something and

you respond appropriately you can respond appropriately going about everyday going about your everyday business being business and just being blindsided by something is a bit different. think what would different. i think what i would say is going to say is, and this is going to sound bit strange, i think all sound a bit strange, i think all of is an argument for of this is an argument for proportional representation because which because we have a problem which is people rightly is millions of people rightly feel locked out from politics. they don't feel represented by politicians. that's true. that's absolutely true. that's true. and so increasingly people resort to things like direct to action protest in a similar way with brexit, the referendum was a pressure valve for that. i think in the long terme this broken two party duopoly, we have of means, you'll only see more of this and it won't just come from the left. by the way. so i think we have a political class incapable of solving problems, doing things, constructing a positive vision for you will see a for the future. you will see a lot more of this. and that's not to let people off the hook. if they do something bad, but i think it also points to the fact we have a failed political system in this country. >> i think you're right. and in fact, what we're talking fact, it what we're talking

about is about with the security is distancing those politicians even many even further. but how many politicians see going politicians do you see going drinking local pub drinking in their local pub properly than political properly rather than a political visit ? one thing, very visit? one thing, just very briefly, long ago, briefly, not so very long ago, prime and cabinet prime ministers and cabinet ministers could walk from their offices to the palace of westminster for their debates . westminster for their debates. can you imagine that happening now? and those days, there now? and in those days, there were very passionate were some very passionate feelings against the decisions that of the some that that some of the some that government making. still government was making. but still the people did not feel the british people did not feel that it was appropriate, proper or the right way to exercise their opinion by harassing them. >> so have lost ? have we lost >> so have we lost? have we lost respect for our politicians ? respect for our politicians? have we losing respect have we? are we losing respect for another? gb views gb for one another? gb views gb news let us know what you think. very important now all the very important now for all the best and opinion . even best analysis and opinion. even better than these two on that story and so much more , please story and so much more, please go our website gbnews.com. go to our website gbnews.com. you're watching and listening. if you're listening on the radio. hello to gb news sunday with me dawn neesom. lots more coming up today's show. we've coming up on today's show. we've just been talking about this,

well. wasn't it well. but sneery, wasn't it referring a sunak houses is referring to a sunak houses is rude and unnecessary. i suspect some of the protesters have second don't they ? and second homes, don't they? and they're probably not even insulated , are they? because insulated, are they? because they go about that as well. they go on about that as well. in any case, we move on because we've snp about. we've got the snp to talk about. ooh. uh the snp says ooh. lucky us. uh the snp says it for another commons it will push for another commons debate gaza following the debate on gaza following the chaotic vote on the conflict on wednesday, there uproar. how wednesday, there was uproar. how can there uproar can we forget there was uproar in commons speaker sir in the commons when speaker sir lindsay allowed mps to lindsay hoyle allowed mps to vote labour amendment to vote on a labour amendment to the motion . it the snp's ceasefire motion. it meant the snp motion was not voted on, prompting the party to say sir lindsay should quit as speaker but i'm sorry, this is just a massive waste of time. i'm going to come to you on this one, henry, okay? like anyone in gaza and israel is going to take the blindest bit of notice of not just what the conservatives or the tories or the labour party is saying, but what the snp say about this. we're getting a bit above ourselves here, aren't we? >> we are a little bit and we,

um, i first of all get this out of the way. i think it was chaotic the other day. the debate fell apart effectively . debate fell apart effectively. and so i think it's having made the decision to have a debate, then they probably need to rerun it. but you're absolutely right, dawn. i think there is. nobody's going to pay the blindest bit of attention in the middle east as to what the snp say. now, of course, this will be a vote in parliament. so it's the british parliament. so it's the british parliament. know, parliament. but again, you know, look, pressure being look, there is pressure being put by the iranian put on hamas by the iranian regime. yes. and by their own ideology. there is pressure , ideology. there is pressure, pressure, massive pressure being put on prime minister netanyahu to rein back in some of what he's doing. he's not listening to any of it. no and no. so you're right, this this is posturing and, um, you know, humza yousuf, the snp leader , humza yousuf, the snp leader, has been very outspoken about his thoughts about the israelis and about the gaza situation. that's what's driving this. it's

rather like we were saying just now, this is politicians , um, now, this is politicians, um, effectively kowtowing to their own constituency, which is legitimate. but in this case it's a legitimate it's a constituency that is driving an agenda relating to a foreign conflict. we have imported effectively . into our politics. effectively. into our politics. a foreign conflict. it's playing out in british politics. >> it's not like we haven't got enough to worry about in this country, is it? and what no one actually mentioned on that. i think chaos putting it think chaos is putting it politely evening. um, is politely on that evening. um, is that over in jerusalem? the israeli government were quietly announcing would never announcing that it would never recognise state, recognise a palestinian state, that the two state solution, as far as they're concerned, is finished. so you know, all our what ever side they're on debating this again when we've got a cost of living crisis. this the nhs da da da, the small boat situation. why are we talking about something that we can't do anything about ? can't do anything about? >> well, it's important to say there are many other stories. i agree entirely with that. but

i'm surprised that henry would do britain down. we we've got a we're a permanent. no, do britain down. we we've got a we're a permanent . no, no, do britain down. we we've got a we're a permanent. no, no, no. yeah. we're a permanent member of the un security council. we've got nuclear weapons. we sell our one of the biggest arms companies world by companies in the world by systems. idea that britain systems. the idea that britain doesn't regards doesn't matter with regards to influencing countries like israel , i think, not correct. israel is, i think, not correct. britain is not america. it's not china . but it certainly has some china. but it certainly has some heft . um, israel china. but it certainly has some heft. um, israel has seen i think its gdp decline by around 20. sovereign wealth funds like in norway are dumping israeli bonds. in norway are dumping israeli bonds . um, it in norway are dumping israeli bonds. um, it is beginning to bear the brunt of any country would. of course, any country's economy is hit by war. so i think it would be a small variable . i don't think it's variable. i don't think it's a game changer. if britain demands a ceasefire, but i think it's a small variable. um, and i think it sends something of a signal, you know, australia, new zealand, canada are calling for a ceasefire. now, historically, the five eyes, those three countries, plus us and the us act together and i think if the uk went with those guys and away

from the us, i think that would be a big deal. you know, it's not the britain of 1924, but the britain of 2024 is still quite an influential power, know, an influential power, i know, but driven by the snp, but this is driven by the snp, remember, um, the israelis will watch remember, um, the israelis will watthe israelis yes, >> the israelis will say, yes, this driven by the snp and this is driven by the snp and everybody's kind of going along with won't pay any with it and they won't pay any attention you're attention to it. but you're right, it does have a little bit of influence. but what has a great more influence is great deal more influence is what's what's going on in the background. um, you know, background. and, um, you know, the between the communication between ministers and the israeli authorities on that those authorities and so on that those quiet conversations that we don't quiet conversations that we dont and quiet conversations that we don't and hear will, quiet conversations that we don�*know,and hear will, quiet conversations that we don�*know, be hear will, quiet conversations that we don�*know, be be ar will, quiet conversations that we don�*know, be be the will, quiet conversations that we don�*know, be be the influential you know, be be the influential ones are any ones if there are any influential ones . um, i think influential ones. um, i think the other thing, though, is that and i'd like to put this on record now, i'm very uncomfortable . well, not so much uncomfortable. well, not so much now, but when the israelis were pumping massive amounts of munitions into gaza , dropping munitions into gaza, dropping just it was i've done military targeting and to be able to do specific like targeting

intelligence led targeting on that many targets at that in that many targets at that in that brief period of time and utilising all of those different assets and different weapon systems. i do not believe that the israelis were doing precision targeting with all of the munitions they were throwing at gaza, and i had concerns about that. i still have concerns about but i think concerns about that. but i think ultimately problem with this ultimately the problem with this debate has been that it is one sided. it's basically causing calling. basically, we all know it. whatever said that, it's calling on the state of israel to implement a ceasefire. it's not condemning hamas as it should be who have and israel have stated and hamas have stated that they're not they're going to carry on until they've destroyed. >> that's basically the mission statements, isn't it? right. okay. of okay. again we're running out of time. uh, you're time. blimey. uh, you're watching, gb news sunday watching, um, gb news sunday with me. dawn neesom and or possibly listening on radio possibly listening on the radio or possibly if you're or possibly both. if you're multitasking. there's lots multitasking. uh, there's lots more come on today's show, more to come on today's show, but headlines but here's the news headlines with .

cases have more than tripled in the uk since hamas carried out their horrific attacks on the 7th of october. there uh, charity tell mama who monitor hate crime, say most islamophobic cases are happening on social media. but they have recorded a rise in physical assaults, abusive behaviour, threats and acts of vandalism. there has also been a 589% increase in the number of incidents of anti—semitism since those hamas attacks, joining me now, i am pleased to say, is social policy analyst doctor raqib hassan and jewish freelance journalist nicole lampert . thank you so much for lampert. thank you so much for joining me this afternoon. really appreciate your time. on this sunday afternoon, i wanted to speak to both of you because you you're both very eloquent in the subject, and i just want to weaken, pontificate on the panel what we like, but used to are living this. nicole going to living this. nicole i'm going to come to you first. um what's it actually like being jewish in london at the moment? great.

>> thank you. dawn thank you for inviting me on. um what's it like? >> it feels at times like there are walls that are closing in on you. >> um, and sometimes when i speak to, just like as i did just earlier, someone who's had anti—semitism within their own family , her daughters at family, her daughters at university , um, was was at university, um, was was at a kind of at a dinner for her college . and someone just college. and someone just decided to stand up in the middle of the dinner and said, um, how can we sit here when there are zionists in the room ? there are zionists in the room? um, and, and i've talked to parents of eight year olds who are being told hitler was right. um, it affects it's affecting every jew. um not only because we're hearing these stories, but because we are afraid to go into the west end on a saturday. um, we are trying to still deal with the loss of what happened on october 7th with, you know, none of us are happy about what we're seeing in, in gaza. and, and we feel that weighs upon us to, um,

and there's a, there's a real feeling of it's really bad . no feeling of it's really bad. no one seems to be stopping it. and it's just getting worse. and this is happening not just in london. it's happening well across country, across across the country, but across the to , world you know, we see the to, world you know, we see that people are talking about the same thing in america. the university campuses are horrendous that it's happening in australia where people are singing. um, no one knows where they're singing carthage, carthage, the jews carthage, jews or kill the jews or the jews, but but or get the jews, but but whatever was, was whatever it was, it was anti—semitic. um, so this is this is going everywhere. and this is going on everywhere. and so it's frightening because there's something that we say at passover, which is in every generation, an they will rise against us. and we somehow thought that were immune thought that we were immune to that, to , to, to, you know, the that, to, to, to, you know, the latest genocidal group trying to kill us. and then once again, we see anti—semitism raising its head. and no one apparently able to do anything . to do anything. >> raqib, let's come to you on on the opposite side. i mean , on the opposite side. i mean, islamophobia has also risen horrifically . um, and i think

horrifically. um, and i think it's shocking in 2024 that we are seeing these kind of incidents in not just london, but in all our cities across the country. what has it meant to you personally? >> well, i don't really like talking much about myself. >> dawn, to be fair, and i think that ultimately i've come here not as some kind of community spokesperson person, but ultimately cohesion ultimately as a social cohesion expert. but one thing i'll say is that i've observed an explosion in both anti—jewish and anti muslim hatred since october 7, and i think it's placing fundamental strain on our multi—faith democracy in a democracy that usually i'm very proud of. and i think it's a democracy to be treasured and protected . and, and i think protected. and, and i think what, what we need to talk about here, if i'm just looking from a broader british muslim perspective, we need to have very serious conversations, not just conversations. need to just conversations. we need to take again. when it comes take action again. when it comes to anti—semitism within british muslim communities now there's a range of perfectly legitimate

criticisms to make of the current israeli government. but in my view, there's far right members of that government, such as bezalel smotrich, itamar ben—gvir . as bezalel smotrich, itamar ben—gvir. think benjamin ben—gvir. i think that benjamin netanyahu , to be quite honest, netanyahu, to be quite honest, is not remotely interested in any of peace settlement any kind of peace settlement under any circumstance. you can make those criticisms without indulging in anti—semitic conspiracy theories. the vilification of british jews british jews should not be treated as agents of the current israeli government. and mossad, which is the national intelligence agency in israel. equally, british muslims are perfectly entitled to legitimately protest in favour of the cause of palestinian statehood and those british muslims who protest peacefully should not be treated as agents of hamas, which is a proscribed terrorist organisation . but one terrorist organisation. but one thing i'll say about the demonstrations that nicole refers to in london, there's been very clear cases of anti—semitic chanting, displaying a pro terror paraphernalia and direct incitement to violence against jewish people. and i've been

very concerned by the lack of law and order, robustness when it comes to those kind of actions and behaviours , uh, actions and behaviours, uh, taking place at demonstrations . taking place at demonstrations. >> as nicole coming back to you, i mean, what did you make of the fact that the, you know, from the river to the sea was beamed onto i'm calling it big ben shorthand, but on to big ben this week and the chaos. shorthand, but on to big ben this week and the chaos . and this week and the chaos. and that's putting it politely that we witnessed in our democratic , we witnessed in our democratic, democratically elected house. this week. >> well, i think that's the point, isn't it, that they call anti—semitism the canary in the coal mine, which is when it rears its head, then it's a it's a sign of a sickness in a society . and we are definitely society. and we are definitely seeing that with our democracy that it's not just jews that are scared. um, it's many , many scared. um, it's many, many people, including politicians and i know there's been some debate about it, but i spoke to a labour mp on about tuesday and she she was telling me how frightened she was to not be voting for a ceasefire. um

because she was afraid , a threat because she was afraid, a threat to her life. and she's been in touch with the police. and i know she's not the only one. so. so it's a big it's a massive issue. and the fact that this sign was put up on on big ben, which is kind of the symbol of our nation and certainly the symbol of our democracy , shows symbol of our democracy, shows you everything about the danger that not just jews are in our entire democracy is in, uh raqib. >> i'm just finally, quickly, because we're running out of time. just finally. what did you make events in parliament make of the events in parliament this was embarrassing . if, >> it was embarrassing. if, truth be told, dawn , i think to truth be told, dawn, i think to twist conventional parliamentary procedure in such a way . i twist conventional parliamentary procedure in such a way. i think sir lindsay hoyle should no longer be in the position that he's in. uh, i think that i've talked about this islamist inspired erosion of parliamentary democracy for some time, and many of the responses to what's taken place in parliament, people talking about how elected mps, they need to have their security details beefed i think the main beefed up. but i think the main issue the british

issue for me is the british political establishment. for too long not prioritised long has not prioritised national and public national security and public safety. should have. safety. the way it should have. and is why we have got to and this is why we have got to this worrying point . this very worrying point. >> you so much. both of >> thank you so much. both of you. nicole lampert and, you. that's nicole lampert and, uh, rakib. hasan, thank you so much for joining uh, rakib. hasan, thank you so much forjoining me this much for joining me this afternoon. really appreciate your sobering words your time. um, sobering words there. it's not a good time, there. um, it's not a good time, is it? but there's lots more coming up on today's show. now, the youngsters have it all too easy. and mind blowing. 93% of 18 to 24 year olds can't even be bothered to go to an in—person job interview . bothered to go to an in—person job interview. i bothered to go to an in—person job interview . i want to know job interview. i want to know our generation are lazy. actually, just taking the mic, all of that and much more to come. i'm dawn neesom you're watching gb news, britain's news channel thank you

listening to gb news radio . listening to gb news radio. >> that was joke . welcome back >> that was joke. welcome back to gb news sunday with me dawn

neesom on your tv online and on digital radio. now, would you ever not turn up to a job interview? well, generation lazy is driving employers mad as more than 90% of 18 to 24 year olds say they have not turned up to an interview because they can't be bothered. so i'm asking, do they have it too easy now ? we've they have it too easy now? we've discovered some really heavy stuff today, so i'm actually going to try and have some fun with this one as well. but we're not going to be too hard on on young people. henry um, right. so actually we're going to come to you first, um, as a more senior of panel, senior member of the panel, i mean, in the kindest possible way. um henry , back in the day. way. um henry, back in the day. right? an interview, a job interview. i will get so nervous i would be there hours beforehand making sure everything was rehearsed. i do know it's as you say , and i find know it's as you say, and i find this astonishing . they just this astonishing. they just can't even bother to turn up. they don't phone up and say, i'm sorry, i come to the

sorry, i can't come to the interview. don't go. interview. just don't go. >> i think it's bizarre. i've not heard this, but if that's the case, then i, you if the case, then i, you know, if i hadnt in the case, then i, you know, if i hadn't in the morning, hadn't got up in the morning, then my father would have thrown a of water over me. and a bucket of water over me. and i suppose now you've got a by suppose now you've got a dad, by the way, was the same. but the way, mine was the same. but isuppose the way, mine was the same. but i suppose now you've got a situation actually situation where actually children won't children have got. they won't recognise what i'm going to say now. won't, but now. of course they won't, but have far less discipline at have a far less discipline at home or at, at school. um, less self—discipline. they, they , self—discipline. they, they, they, you know, if they've got a school uniform, they rebel against it. they, they either the tie is around their belly button or it's so short that it's absolutely ridiculous . it's absolutely ridiculous. their shirts are hanging out and their shirt, trousers are too short and they're, you know, i mean, it's they've got no self respect, no self discipline. and they don't they reject discipline from anybody else. so how this come about? how has this come about? i really don't know. but i see i see it daily. i live near a school and it's just it hurts me. and i wonder whether this actually i know we've talked about serious things earlier,

whether feeding into the whether this is feeding into the more serious topics and more those serious topics and why the country has got a lack of respect, a of respect of respect, a lack of respect for mps, lack of respect for for mps, a lack of respect for other people. >> for people general, >> yeah. for people in general, because somebody's been good enough this person an enough to give this person an interview not being interview and they're not being good to respect that, good enough to respect that, that fact. >> and just even make a >> and just say, even make a phone call and say, look, i'm sorry, i make it. sorry, i can't make it. >> this is incredible. i >> yes, this is incredible. i mean, there's one comment in >> yes, this is incredible. i mea|that,re's one comment in >> yes, this is incredible. i mea|that,re's (from ymment in >> yes, this is incredible. i mea|that,re's (from gen ent in >> yes, this is incredible. i mea|that,re's (from gen z,: in >> yes, this is incredible. i mea|that,re's (from gen z, by here that, um, from gen z, by the way, which is 18 to 24, and millennials are as bad, by the way, and they are 25 to 39. um, there was a comment in this piece, and it's a survey, by the way, um, saying by not going to an interview, i feel empowered over that company. huh? aaron what do you make of this? stop sniggering at the back there, young man. >> if i presume you feel empowered as well when you can't afford to pay your phone bills and cut and, you and the water's cut off and, you know, empowering bank know, very empowering bank of mum well, there's mum and dad. well, so there's two things firstly, two things here. firstly, i don't think young people have it easy.i don't think young people have it easy. i think young people actually housing on the

actually on housing on on the deal they're get with deal they're going to get with regards to pensions. they've probably retire nhs. probably never retire nhs. lots of their of things aren't going in their favour. and i agree with what henry saying. i'd actually henry is saying. i'd actually capsize a i'd say capsize it a bit. i'd say they're also being let down with stuff this . so for stuff like this. so for instance, in the last 20 years, i am so grateful . by the way, i i am so grateful. by the way, i went to school before mobile phones social media. phones and social media. >> yeah. hallelujah >> oh god yeah. hallelujah >> oh god yeah. hallelujah >> it's incredible that we let kids have mobile phones in schools and it's not me being harsh authoritarian . that's harsh or authoritarian. that's not good for them in terms of cyber bullying, in terms of concentration, academic performance , in terms of anxiety performance, in terms of anxiety disorders . we know all of this. disorders. we know all of this. and again , we talked earlier on and again, we talked earlier on about actually probably most people think there should be a big test for british transport police. i would imagine most people that kids shouldn't people think that kids shouldn't have phones schools. so have phones in schools. so i think this this lack of rules is letting kids down. and what i'd say is quickly we over police young people with regards to offline behaviour don't play in the street . every stranger is

the street. every stranger is dangerous. but then when it comes to online stuff , it's the comes to online stuff, it's the wild west. knock yourself out. and so i think we are letting them down in a bunch of ways. and i don't think it's the kids fault. actually, i think it's on the rest of us as, as adults to offer leadership. >> and i know whether, you >> and i don't know whether, you know, most schools now know, but most schools now secondary require, secondary schools, they require, almost to almost require the children to have phones then have mobile phones because then they they can have an app. they have they can have an app. they can see whether there's a change in their their lessons change in their in their lessons or anything else. it's all online, which you know, the government's driving this. the government is there's no question driving , question they've been driving, having the roll out of it. maybe we've too far. know , we've gone too far. you know, children aren't talking to each other the playground. they're other in the playground. they're texting each other. if texting each other. even if there's next to them there's a child next to them that's, they and they that's, you know, they and they want than speak. want to text rather than speak. there's whole , whole range of there's a whole, whole range of social problems that are coming from this. and i don't know whether that's the problem, but, um, you know, it's got to be part of it. and how can we have this discussion instead of the snp debating gaza? they should

be debating this. >> well, exactly . they can do >> well, exactly. they can do something about this probably. indeed probably our fault. that's our generation's fault. henry blaming us. henry i'm sorry. i'm blaming us. >> blaming myself. i'm >> oh, not blaming myself. i'm blaming them over blaming the rest of them over there. it's all. it's all their mothers can. >> i can i quickly say that i do think phones are huge part think phones are a huge part because we put less and because we have put less and less emphasis on human relations. you're letting relations. so if you're letting somebody big deal. somebody else down, no big deal. >> i've got to have human >> and i've got to have human relations now because relations with nana now because go on, i've of time. you go on, i've run out of time. you were so brilliant. um, but were just so brilliant. um, but stay because is up stay tuned because nana is up next with a cracking show. nana, what you doing? what are you doing? >> shenanigans >> well, with the shenanigans that the that happened with the conservative would you conservative party, would you advise to join? advise lee anderson to join? reform asking that nigel reform will be asking that nigel farage given the invite, farage has given him the invite, so be interesting if he so it'd be interesting if he takes up is there any takes it up then. is there any place for diversity and inclusion the army as they inclusion in the army as they put a proposal to get put forward a proposal to get more women on there? there are put forward a proposal to get moreten men on there? there are put forward a proposal to get moreten of n on there? there are put forward a proposal to get moreten of themthere? there are put forward a proposal to get moreten of them show there are put forward a proposal to get moreten of them show up ere are put forward a proposal to get moreten of them show up .re are put forward a proposal to get moreten of them show up . plus, only ten of them show up. plus, i've got an amazing exclusive with vitali klitschko because yesterday it was two years since ukraine. um, we would have put that out yesterday. but of

anderson to join reform uk? as nigel farage says lee anderson would be welcome in reform uk, so should he join the party and finally break loose from the tories? then should politicians have bodyguards ? as it's have bodyguards? as it's revealed private companies are providing mps with security after intimidation by pro—palestinian activists. so should we increase the security for our elected representatives and is there any place for diverse party and inclusion in the army ? i think we all know the army? i think we all know the army? i think we all know the answer to that. only ten female recruits started the infantry and royal armoured corps basic training last year. so is it realistic for these inclusion targets which impact the strength of our armed forces and then our labour leaders? hypocrites again, we know the answer to that. one, two and la reina pockets a tidy profit from the sale of a council house that she bought under the right to buy a policy that she now wants to scrap. so our labour leader is guilty of double standards, and we'll finish off this
