3:05 am
speech on the steps of downing street earlier from rishi sunak . street earlier from rishi sunak. >> but let's put it into a bit of context, shall we? sir keir starmer has lost the feminist vote to appease the trans community. he lost the working class brexiteers to appease remainers. he lost a lot of normal people when he took money from climate lunatics. he lost the jewish vote to appease vast swathes of the muslim community, and now he's lost them . who's he and now he's lost them. who's he got really ? where's his solid got really? where's his solid base? who are they? keir starmer's worst nightmare is about to walk back into parliament. keir starmer , this parliament. keir starmer, this is for gaza . labour have been is for gaza. labour have been absolutely silent on galloway andifs absolutely silent on galloway and it's very , very telling and it's very, very telling isn't it? compare that to what sunak had to say today and it is beyond alarming . beyond alarming. >> at last night, the rochdale by—election returned a candidate who dismisses the horror of what
3:06 am
happened on october the 7th, who glorifies hezbollah and is endorsed by nick griffin , the endorsed by nick griffin, the racist former leader of the bnp . racist former leader of the bnp. >> keir starmer simply could not have made the full speech that rishi sunak made today. he couldn't say this either. you cannot call for violent jihad. >> there is no context in which it can be acceptable to beam anti—semitic tropes onto big ben. in the middle of a vote on israel, gaza and there can be no cause that you can use to justify the support of a proscribed terrorist group like hamas . hamas. >> and he certainly couldn't say this this week. >> i've met with senior police officers and made clear it is the public's expectation that they will not merely manage these protests, but police them . these protests, but police them. and i say this to the police , we and i say this to the police, we will back you when you take action. >> calling out george galloway's views, calling out the old from
3:07 am
the river to the sea. stuff calling on the police to ramp it up against protesters and saying he'll deport anyone who comes here with extreme views . sir here with extreme views. sir keir starmer simply could never say that stuff , because he knows say that stuff, because he knows that around 100 of his own mps would disagree with him. and labour has built a voter base of people like that. therein lies a huge difference between the two major parties and the party leaders. i spoke to sources today involved with the rochdale by—election. now they allege that local drug dealers and gangsters were intimidating voters. the anti—white and anti—semitic racism was rife that businesses were threatened with being firebombed if they showed support for a particular candidate , that someone tried to candidate, that someone tried to break into the home of the relatives of one of the candidates eats their children had to be evacuated. they were threatening phone calls from mysterious foreign phone numbers and of course, it doesn't take a genius to work out what's gone
3:08 am
on with the postal vote, does it? on a turnout of around 39, supposedly 75% of those votes were postal votes , 9000 more were postal votes, 9000 more postal votes . in the 2019 postal votes. in the 2019 general election. come on, we know what's going on here. don't we? i mean, the irony overload , we? i mean, the irony overload, i think, is this tweet from sir keir starmer. rishi sunak is too weak to take on the extremists in his party and too weak to deliver the change. britain needs my change. labour party is ready to deliver for the british people . sir keir starmer has people. sir keir starmer has been silent on his own mps getting hammered everywhere they go . he's been silent on the old go. he's been silent on the old marches . he's been silent on marches. he's been silent on george galloway . the labour george galloway. the labour leader, is trapped. he simply could not make the kind of speech that rishi sunak made today because scores of his own mps wouldn't want him to, and it'd be slagging off the people that the labour party spent years cosying up to. but let's get the thoughts now of my panel and it is a stellar line up for
3:09 am
you tonight. it is the spectator's james heale . i've spectator's james heale. i've also got the bbc political chief, john sergeant and apprentice finalist joanna jaflue. apprentice finalist joanna jarjue . thank you very, very jarjue. thank you very, very much for joining jarjue. thank you very, very much forjoining me tonight. much for joining me tonight. james. i will start with you on the end there. two takeaways for me from rishi sunak's speech. um, what i've just said there about starmer potentially about keir starmer potentially not to make it. the not being able to make it. the other one is should he now apologise suella braverman apologise to suella braverman for essentially for saying essentially what she said for saying essentially what she saiiwell, that's what some tory >> well, that's what some tory mps privately saying mps are privately saying tonight, that. hang on mps are privately saying tcsec. t, that. hang on mps are privately saying tcsec. suella that. hang on mps are privately saying tcsec. suella braverman ang on mps are privately saying tc sec. suella braverman was on a sec. suella braverman was saying this kind of stuff five months yet what the months ago. and yet what was the response prime minister response of the prime minister was sack her? of course, was to sack her? and of course, if you are going to make this kind of speech, it's curious timing. i think in ways, timing. i think in some ways, coming by—election coming after the by—election result, want to do it result, surely you want to do it beforehand. these all beforehand. um, find these all the issues involved in the campaign, say is campaign, but all i'd say is that, know, the voters that, you know, the voters returned their verdict. and so perhaps tories perhaps i think some tories would have to seen would have liked to seen a bit more of bit sooner. more of this a bit sooner. >> um, what do you reckon to today, joanna? do you think he was. he was bang on the money.
3:10 am
he's calling for an end to extremism. he's calling for an end to ext|yeah,n. he's calling for an end to ext|yeah, absolutely. you know, >> yeah, absolutely. you know, keir starmer has been calling against both against him. extremism on both sides. you sides. and i think that, you know, seems know, rishi sunak um, seems to kind of align himself more so with people who have more right wing he's wing views. obviously he's a he's part of a right wing party, but that he hasn't but also the fact that he hasn't actually condemned some of the stuff to stuff when it comes to islamophobia in his own party. i think that that's what's quite concerning. that he concerning. so the fact that he kind very much puts himself kind of very much puts himself on one side and only kind of speaks out when it's to do with islamists when to do islamists or when it's to do with don't with people who don't necessarily agree with his views. when it comes to gaza. that's quite telling. >> it's also quite >> i suppose it's also quite certain, though, john, is that keir trapped keir starmer is a bit trapped when comes to calling out when it comes to calling out some the that are at some of the views that are at these calling these protests, calling out, uh, for example, the old george galloway situation. is a galloway situation. he is in a tight at the moment. tight spot at the moment. >> he isn't tight stop. >> he isn't as tight stop. i would suggest that both party leaders, party leaders, both main party leaders, both main party leaders, are in a very tight spot because because traditionally to traditionally we're meant to support . right. support israel. right. absolutely straightforward. that's it. both sides agree . that's it. both sides agree. keir starmer wants to make sure
3:11 am
that he's in that responsible league . but then what's league. but then what's happening is that this is nothing to do with what they're trying to do. but in the middle east itself, israel is losing the propaganda war. now, this is not a matter of right and wrong. what happened on october the 7th? people are seeing these pictures gaza night after pictures from gaza night after night, night, and many night, after night, and many people , well, many people are people, well, many people are not convinced that that this policy is going to work and that thousands of women and children are being killed unnecessarily . are being killed unnecessarily. now that makes it extremely difficult for anyone who takes up the traditional british america position on israel . and america position on israel. and i'm not saying it's not impossible. now they they plough on. but if you were told just to imagine paul right back, there's a by—election being held in britain and gaza is one of the big subjects. where are people's hearts? where are people's feelings ? well, lots of them are feelings? well, lots of them are thinking , feelings? well, lots of them are thinking, gosh, it's feelings? well, lots of them are thinking , gosh, it's horrible feelings? well, lots of them are thinking, gosh, it's horrible in gaza. thinking, gosh, it's horrible in gaza . i do fear for all those
3:12 am
gaza. i do fear for all those palestinian is the end. now i'm saying, oh, but aren't they remembering on october the 7th, straightforward , seeing it on straightforward, seeing it on the television. it happened with america in vietnam. yeah. you lose the television war. you may lose the television war. you may lose the television war. you may lose the whole thing. okay. >> james. so later on, by the way, i should just tease out something. i've got george galloway's right hand man. later on in the show, and i'm going to be him about what exactly be asking him about what exactly he means by the oldest keir starmer's worst nightmare, george he's got 59 george galloway says he's got 59 candidates ready to stand, and they're to tackling they're going to be tackling labour by either costing labour seats by either costing them vote by splitting it, them the vote by splitting it, or winning outright anyway. or just winning outright anyway. and that george and do you think that george galloway is to be a galloway is going to be a massive threat labour massive threat to the labour party then? massive threat to the labour pari' then? massive threat to the labour pari do en? massive threat to the labour pari do think he will be >> i do think he will be a threat. and i think what we've seen in recent months is the snp standing prime standing up in every prime minister's they level minister's questions. they level all questions the prime all their questions at the prime minister. course they're all their questions at the prime miraimed course they're all their questions at the prime miraimed at course they're all their questions at the prime miraimed at stopping; they're all their questions at the prime miraimed at stopping scottish all aimed at stopping scottish laboun all aimed at stopping scottish labour. we're going labour. i think what we're going to is a lot more attacks to see is a lot more attacks from the left. we're going to see a lot of clips of george galloway standing up in the chamber viral on
3:13 am
chamber trying to go viral on tiktok instagram, etc, tiktok and instagram, etc, closed so i do closed whatsapp groups. so i do think will be some because he think he will be some because he is giving voice. as john is saying, foreign saying, there to a foreign policy lot of people policy that a lot of people agree with, and also social agree with, and also a social conservatism that not conservatism that is not represented in this country right represented in this country rigistick with now, >> stick with you for now, because just return to the because just to return to the actual crux of which is actual crux of this, which is the speech that many the sunak speech that many people seen the people will have seen on the steps earlier steps of downing street earlier on some people are saying, right, look, he's finally right, well, look, he's finally got finally got got there. he's finally now got to position that to a similar position that suella braverman was, which is essentially marches are essentially these marches are hateful. and if somebody comes into this country on a visa that has extremist views, will has got extremist views, we will just them. i think quite just deport them. i think quite a people saying, why are a few people are saying, why are you saying this now? well you only saying this now? well i mean, that on the one mean, i think that on the one hand you can say he had to respond result. hand you can say he had to res|buti result. hand you can say he had to res|but i result. hand you can say he had to res|but i do result. hand you can say he had to res|but i do thinkult. hand you can say he had to res|but i do think at. hand you can say he had to res|but i do think a conservative >> but i do think a conservative saying you could have done a bit more of this sooner. and in some saying you could have done a bit more it'sthis sooner. and in some saying you could have done a bit more it's a s sooner. and in some saying you could have done a bit more it's a bitooner. and in some saying you could have done a bit more it's a bit of|er. and in some saying you could have done a bit more it's a bit of a'. and in some saying you could have done a bit more it's a bit of a sunak.�*| some ways it's a bit of a sunak. right? kind problem really, right? kind of problem really, which you come bit which is that you come a bit belated to issue at hand. belated to the issue at hand. you forth a bit you then come forth with a bit of technocratic solution, of a technocratic solution, a framework, i think the prime framework, and i think the prime minister really ought to be doing of lead on this.
3:14 am
doing a bit of a lead on this. >> joanna, he said to the police, sunak we police, rishi sunak today we want not manage want you to not just manage these marches. we want to these marches. we want you to police will police them and we will back you. he got quite animated when he that he was, you know, he said that he was, you know, almost snarling. the almost not snarling. that's the wrong pumped almost not snarling. that's the wrong um, pumped almost not snarling. that's the wrong um, this pumped almost not snarling. that's the wrong um, this is pumped almost not snarling. that's the wrong um, this is going|mped almost not snarling. that's the wrong um, this is going to jed almost not snarling. that's the wrong um, this is going to be up. and, um, this is going to be a problem tomorrow, isn't it? on the london? because a problem tomorrow, isn't it? on the police london? because a problem tomorrow, isn't it? on the police are london? because a problem tomorrow, isn't it? on the police are going]? because a problem tomorrow, isn't it? on the police are going]? isay,use a problem tomorrow, isn't it? on the police are going]? isay, all the police are going to say, all right, well, police these right, well, we'll police these marches they'll try and it marches and they'll try and it will kick off. probably. will kick off. no probably. >> think that >> well, and i think that obviously be obviously people will be emboldened in emboldened by the result in rochdale kind see rochdale and kind of can see that other in the that there's other people in the country and there is actually a realistic to the realistic solution to the problem that they've realistic solution to the problitrying that they've realistic solution to the problitrying to that they've realistic solution to the problitrying to get]at they've realistic solution to the problitrying to get]at the 've been trying to get via the labour party quite get labour party and not quite get in. um, but i think that you know, this almost rishi know, this is almost a rishi sunak against the sunak with his back against the wall got to a point wall because he's got to a point now where he can't silence people when to people because when they go to the box, they to the ballot box, they are able to change they are able change things and they are able to somebody can to elect somebody who can actually a voice them actually have a voice for them that think credible. um, that they think is credible. um, in, the house of commons. and in, in the house of commons. and now, know, basically at in, in the house of commons. and nov1last know, basically at in, in the house of commons. and nov1last levelrv, basically at in, in the house of commons. and nov1last level where basically at in, in the house of commons. and nov1last level where all;ically at in, in the house of commons. and nov1last level where all he'sy at the last level where all he's got now get, you know, got to do now is get, you know, tougher, tougher policing and basically silence them. >> think >> but if you want to i think the thing, of course,
3:15 am
the other key thing, of course, is what he's trying to do. >> absolutely from >> absolutely follows on from from joanna, from what you're saying, joanna, his now thinks, his job, he now thinks, is we must keep concert party must keep the concert party together . what do we talk about? together. what do we talk about? let's talk about extremism. let's talk about extremism. let's talk about . you don't have let's talk about. you don't have to talk about. >> he can look outside his window to see it, but he may. >> but, but but wait a moment. suella down suella braverman has laid down the position as as james says, he's following her. but why is he's following her. but why is he doing that? because he thinks i must keep the conservative. do you not think maybe there's a chance of doing it because he thinks is absolute madness? thinks this is absolute madness? >> happening >> what's happening on the streets the people >> what's happening on the stree it the people >> what's happening on the stree it and the people >> what's happening on the stree it and it the people >> what's happening on the stree it and it can'tthe people >> what's happening on the stree it and it can't go people >> what's happening on the stree it and it can't go on.]ple hate it and it can't go on. >> i think the most striking thing for me was the fact that keir starmer subsequently rowed in behind rishi sunak's statement and said, i completely agree with it all because i think that shows that keir starmer boxed in starmer is to an extent boxed in on this. so he's actually following rishi sunak's on following rishi sunak's lead on this making the political than making the political weather, said, weather, because, as we've said, for different reasons, labour can't really talk about some of these issues. and that's why i do think sunak, although do think rishi sunak, although belatedly, the right belatedly, is doing the right thing now. >> think they've realised
3:16 am
>> i think they've both realised that actually comes to that when it actually comes to people know, people that when it actually comes to pe0jtalk know, people that when it actually comes to pe0jtalk a know, people that when it actually comes to pe0jtalk a lot, know, people that when it actually comes to pe0jtalk a lot, iyou�*, people that when it actually comes to pe0jtalk a lot, iyou know, le will talk a lot, but, you know, you kind put your money where you kind of put your money where your the voting the your mouth is and the voting the other and you know, when it other way. and you know, when it gets of kind of who gets to the point of kind of who can who actually can we save, who will actually realistically us in the realistically vote for us in the end, they might as well go the other enforce other way and actually enforce tougher other way and actually enforce tou does suella braverman >> does this suella braverman thing this off? thing just to round this off? okay so it's important just okay so it's important to just remember, you know, suella. all right. very strong right. she used very strong language actual language okay. but the actual heart sentiment was heart of this sentiment was essentially exactly the same as what rishi sunak was saying. sure. why is she gone ? you know, sure. why is she gone? you know, he's now gone. i mean, i think, you know, full frontal weakness, though. >> that's what i'm saying. he's desperately trying catch up desperately trying to catch up to that he's not too to make sure that he's not too far away from suella braverman. and taken him , you know, a and it's taken him, you know, a couple of weeks . all of this couple of weeks. all of this strikes as being the strikes me as being the difficulty that rishi sunak has with politics. he's good on the ground plans microeconomics ground plans and microeconomics and the budget and all that kind of thing. but when it comes to straightforward, old fashioned politics, simply does politics, he often simply does not to do . and not know what to do. and therefore he's he's advisors
3:17 am
rush in and say it's time for a bit of politics. ah, yes , i get it. >> it's because he doesn't actually agree with suella braverman. he literally his back is against the wall and he's thinking, what can i do now? >> the point, the point for me in this is the genie is out in all this is the genie is out of bottle. you know, there of the bottle. you know, there was an opportunity. it's like when started when the first boats started coming across the channel, if sajid the first sajid javid had turned the first one wouldn't this one back, we wouldn't have this problem didn't problem now. and that didn't happen. are now. happen. and here we are now. we've march we've had march after march after got george after march. we've got george galloway back in parliament. we've got this and we've got all of this stuff. and now put a lid now you're trying to put a lid on something that is out on something that is way out there. anyway, we'll be there. but anyway, we'll be talking bit more about talking a little bit more about this because still to this later on because still to come, be called come, police had to be called to a meeting a pro—life society meeting in manchester will manchester last night. we will discuss is under discuss if free speech is under attack, and we'll talk to someone actually at that someone who was actually at that meeting. students revolting. someone who was actually at that meeyes, students revolting. someone who was actually at that meeyes, studengallowayolting. someone who was actually at that meeyes, studengalloway says]. but yes, george galloway says that last that his by—election win last night a nightmare for labour night is a nightmare for labour leader sir keir starmer. i'm going to speak to james giles later. was by galloway's later. so he was by galloway's side at the count in rochdale last night . side at the count in rochdale last night. but first it's my
3:18 am
head to head. nigel farage says that everyone can see that my migration is ruining britain . is migration is ruining britain. is he right? we'll be debating that with two great guests right here in the studio and yes, at 10 pm. as well. serious questions to answer for keir starmer with the whole lindsay hoyle affair. interesting development today. stay .
3:22 am
we're on gb news and it is time now for our head to head . so now for our head to head. so estimates suggest that since 2004, more people have arrived in britain each year than arrived in the entire period between 1066 and 1950. the transformation has been so off the scale that native brits are now a minority in several major cities, nigel farage argued in the telegraph today that after the rochdale by—election, everyone can now see that mass migration is ruining britain. religious sectarianism taking over small lancashire towns aside, the idea that immigration is good for the economy is also looking shaky. the ifs warned only last week that jeremy hunfs only last week that jeremy hunt's £100 billion tax jump is a direct consequence of record net migration . so look, we're net migration. so look, we're worse off per capita. our public services are crumbling under the weight of rapid population growth. we have a catastrophic housing crisis , and foreign housing crisis, and foreign conflicts are playing out on the streets of britain. is mass
3:23 am
migration ruining this country? well here to unravel all of this is former treasury adviser james price, who is currently the adam smith institute, and robert bates as well, who is the research director at the centre for control. chaps, for migration control. chaps, thank you very, very much. uh, i'll start with you, robert. do you think that migration is you think that mass migration is ruining you think that mass migration is ruiroh , hands down, it is >> oh, hands down, it is absolutely every metric possible, it's possible, whether it's culturally , societally, uh, culturally, societally, uh, housing, public services , housing, public services, infrastructure. and now we're seeing you know, the biggest decline in gdp per capita on record. you know , it's record. you know, it's successive periods of decline . successive periods of decline. um, and people aren't seeing any of the benefits that we have been promised . been promised. >> okay. mean, it's quite hard >> okay. i mean, it's quite hard to back to that, isn't it? to come back to that, isn't it? >> yeah. i mean, this is bit >> yeah. i mean, this is a bit of to head, uh, perhaps of a head to head, uh, perhaps we're agreeing in different kinds ways here. i think we kinds of ways here. i think we can which can imagine a world in which migration for migration would be amazing for britain. if the people britain. right? if the people coming genuinely, coming over are all genuinely, really in human capital, really high in human capital, aka they're smart , they're aka they're smart, they're hardworking, got great hardworking, they've got great skills. love this country. skills. they love this country. they institutions.
3:24 am
they love its institutions. they're to come over they're desperate to come over here then here and become british. then immigration would total, immigration would be a total, unalloyed good as it is. it's not it's not that i don't think that it's complete terrible in every single way. again, there are lots people that come who single way. again, there are lots to )eople that come who single way. again, there are lots to become]at come who single way. again, there are lots to become british,e who single way. again, there are lots to become british, who> single way. again, there are lots to become british, who want want to become british, who want to work maybe they've to work here. maybe they've got historical cultural ties. australia canada, america, or they just love it and want to make it their home because they like environment like the business environment and things like that. and i think to get the think we've got to get the balance of quality balance right of quality over quantity. you've quantity. okay robert, you've done is obviously done so. the fact is obviously you can a system where you can imagine a system where everyone holding you can imagine a system where everyordancing holding you can imagine a system where everyordancing rainbows . hands, dancing around rainbows. and perfect. but the and that sounds perfect. but the fact now we've fact of the matter is now we've seen years that that seen for 20 years that that system isn't viable. it system just isn't viable. it doesn't in minds of doesn't exist in the minds of whitehall mandarins, sure whitehall mandarins, as i'm sure you're know the you're well aware. you know the system has a tendency system itself has a tendency towards migration as the towards mass migration as the solution to most problems. and that importation of that involves the importation of cheap that doesn't cheap labour that just doesn't benefit productivity the benefit the productivity or the value that's added the economy. >> yeah. so i suppose with respect then the reality that you envisage just doesn't and will not ever exist. >> yeah, i think that we have to behalf of not throwing the baby
3:25 am
out the bathwater here. if out with the bathwater here. if we the drawbridge we just pull up the drawbridge entirely, that's not going to fix that fix all of the problems that robert pointed out. it's robert rightly pointed out. it's not just immigration. it's not just new people coming over here. people are here. a lot of people who are second generation on here and still lots these still have lots of these problems, cultural problems. not that voted for that everybody who voted for that everybody who voted for that is , is that idiot in rochdale is, is a first generation person who's just got themselves a passport and a vote. so it runs deeper than and in same time, than that. and in the same time, pulling will pulling up that drawbridge will lose incredibly talented lose these incredibly talented people. who will people. the people who will found companies who will found amazing companies who will fall love and marry brits. fall in love and marry brits. right my other american. right my other half is american. i want her to able to stay. i want her to be able to stay. and think that she this and i think that she loves this country her family come from country and her family come from all kind of stuff. so all that kind of stuff. so there's a balance found there's a balance to be found there. >> but let let there. >> but let let put this >> but let me let me put this to you. are saying if nigel you. if we are saying if nigel farage that mass farage is saying that mass migration ruined britain, migration has ruined britain, i mean, still a of mean, there are still a heck of a are you not a lot of brits. are you not proud anything in this proud of anything in this country anymore? you know? >> absolutely. >> oh, absolutely. no. >> oh, absolutely. no. >> love aspects the >> i still love aspects of the country. i history, the country. i love the history, the countryside, those countryside, you know, all those things brought things that we're brought up on. the poetry, the plays and things like that. i feel like the poetry, the plays and things like thwe're feel like the poetry, the plays and things like thwe're headinglike the poetry, the plays and things like thwe're heading as] the poetry, the plays and things like thwe're heading as a society
3:26 am
where we're heading as a society now nigel now isn't as one. as nigel points in his piece, you points out in his piece, you know, society through this mass migration know, society through this mass migra' seeing now we're seeing communities now congregate we're seeing communities now congtheree we're seeing communities now congthere isn't the same and there isn't the same integration same corner integration and the same corner turn. but british is it turn. but british dream is it salvageable then? >> if saying if we're if >> so if he's saying if we're if we're with nigel we're starting with the nigel farage premise that it has ruined , can we now ruined britain, can we now reverse so look, we've had reverse that? so look, we've had 20 years a pretty drastic 20 years of a pretty drastic experiment now. >> i do think as >> and i do think that as a result, we are going to have to take pretty, you know, strident views we can't really be carrying on with the, oh, hundreds 200,000 carrying on with the, oh, hl somehow 200,000 carrying on with the, oh, hl somehow i )0,000 carrying on with the, oh, thomehow i think0 carrying on with the, oh, thneediow i think0 carrying on with the, oh, thneediowhave i think0 carrying on with the, oh, thneediowhave seriousi think0 we need to have serious conversations level conversations about what level is and doesn't is sustainable and doesn't compound the problems that we are facing. compound the problems that we are now, facing. compound the problems that we are now, will g. compound the problems that we are now, will be my next >> now, this will be my next point, which we are not point, which is that we are not realistically ever going to find ourselves where ourselves in a situation where that happens, are we? therefore, it britain? it has ruined britain? >> ruined is too >> no, i think ruined is too fatalistic. i think that you can see if we have control of a decent education system. right schools actually have got a lot better what they're better in terms of what they're teaching. kids and kids are learning they're coming learning more. they're coming out with actual out of schools with actual want to kids to state to send their kids to state schools, but they're, well, actually states we've
3:27 am
schools, but they're, well, actlally states we've schools, but they're, well, actla lot states we've schools, but they're, well, actla lotstates right? we've schools, but they're, well, actla lot states right? soe've schools, but they're, well, actla lot states right? so ite got a lot better. right? so it used two thirds were good used to be two thirds were good or outstanding. now it's over 90. i'm definitely to 90. i'm definitely going to afford a afford to go to ten and to a private school. there are private school. but there are there great schools. right. there are great schools. right. and and then and so you go in there and then you teaching good british you start teaching good british values like robert, i agree that i'm relativist. don't i'm not a relativist. i don't think just think other countries are just different. this different. i think that this country but that country is better, but that we've back from we've been held back from explaining that to too many communities pm said communities as the pm said today, said today, the prime minister said today, the prime minister said today, being today, the prime minister said toda' by being today, the prime minister said toda' by we being today, the prime minister said toda'by we need being today, the prime minister said toda' by we need to ing today, the prime minister said toda' by we need to be side by side. we need to be living when start living together when we start explaining law that explaining the rule of law that capitalism, that shakespeare, all better than capitalism, that shakespeare, all alternative, better than capitalism, that shakespeare, all alternative, ithere's]an the alternative, then there's still would make the >> people would make the argument that, hey, look, we are culturally enriched. 7 ee. agree? >> n agree? >> i don't think anyone >> no. and i don't think anyone seriously in their heart of hearts believes that be hearts believes that to be perfectly think that's perfectly honest, i think that's the you might the kind of thing that you might hear in islington. but hear in a pub in islington. but i if you went anywhere i think if you went anywhere else be else in the country, you'd be hard pressed to find the argument kind things argument that the kind of things that we're for instance, that we're seeing, for instance, in the in rochdale, is somehow for the benefit of the country. >> was there a moment in time? i mean, disagree mean, you might disagree entirely don't entirely with that. i don't know, there a moment in know, but was there a moment in time kind time where we were in that kind of squiffy little period where
3:28 am
we enriched we were culturally enriched and everything and it was everything was nice and it was all right, and now actually, that's tipped. and we've got eritreans fighting other eritreans fighting each other with sticks in places. yeah i think definitely have been think there definitely have been bits where probably all bits where we probably all should more. should have woken up a lot more. >> it was the late 1980s >> i think it was the late 1980s when there fatwa put out when there was a fatwa put out against rushdie. english when there was a fatwa put out aghisst rushdie. english when there was a fatwa put out aghis third rushdie. english when there was a fatwa put out aghis third language,iie. english when there was a fatwa put out aghis third language, right?;lish when there was a fatwa put out aghis third language, right? anh is his third language, right? an amazing make amazing writer chose to make england much england his home. it's much better most. better at writing than most. most in english, and most brits are in english, and that people were calling for his death on streets that death on the streets at that point. could nip point. there we could have nip this then maybe this in the bud and then maybe gone that sort of skipping gone to that sort of skipping around rainbows and all the around with rainbows and all the rest happen. then rest of it didn't happen. then didn't happen after 77 either. and at and i think we're pointing at there's one particular set of cultural differences that are quite tricky. not islam. quite tricky. it's not islam. islamism, big islamism, however, is a big problem, and that into problem, and that plays into culture as well as it plays into social as as the social issues as well as the prime pointed out. prime minister pointed out. >> we are going >> yeah, look, and we are going to be having a massive conversation little conversation about that a little bit the show as bit later on in the show as well. issues, certainly well. huge issues, certainly when comes to islamism, which when it comes to islamism, which rishi sunak actually stand rishi sunak did actually stand on downing street rishi sunak did actually stand on mentioned downing street rishi sunak did actually stand on mentioned today,ng street rishi sunak did actually stand on mentioned today, again,et and mentioned today, again, begging were and mentioned today, again, beggin bullish were and mentioned today, again, beggin bullish with were and mentioned today, again, beggin bullish with suella were you so bullish with suella braverman also, maybe braverman and also, maybe you got it slightly with lee got it slightly wrong with lee

3:34 am
gb news, so the manchester pro—life society attempted to hold a meeting last night, and let's just see how they were greeted. yeah shame on you. >> shame on you . shame. okay so >> shame on you. shame. okay so now not everyone would agree with the pro—life society . with the pro—life society. >> his views essentially anti—abortion , isn't it? but anti—abortion, isn't it? but some of them are clearly outside of the mainstream now. should they be able though, to meet in peace, to just peacefully meet up, have a meeting , have up, have a meeting, have a gathering? well, apparently not, because the night ended in violence, didn't it? well, i think we can take another little look at that now . i'm gonna
3:35 am
look at that now. i'm gonna leave it . we've just become so leave it. we've just become so extreme, haven't we? ingombota is a first year student at the university studying dental hygiene and therapy . now, she hygiene and therapy. now, she attended this pro—life society meeting. good evening. thank you very much. i'm very pleased to have you on the show . so, um, have you on the show. so, um, could you just explain to me, please, happened ? please, exactly what happened? and so and not necessarily just last night as well, some of the kind of abuse and situations that found yourselves in. that you found yourselves in. >> all right. so firstly , um, >> all right. so firstly, um, university should be a place where you can discuss and debate opinions without the fear of, uh, being marginalised or oppressed. uh, what happened last night was completely opposite to that . opposite to that. >> um, we were met with a lot of abuse and oppression just for
3:36 am
wanting to discuss our own opinions together. wanting to discuss our own opinions together . and uh, opinions together. and uh, people were getting physical. they were shouting abuse at us. one man even got into my face with his hands and told me to get raped . uh, that's that's not get raped. uh, that's that's not pro—women . um and it's pro—women. um and it's definitely not tolerance in the slightest . slightest. >> no. and regardless of whether or not somebody agrees with the pro—life stance or whatever, and let's be honest, it's one of the more contentious views in society. it is a massive dividing point, but regardless of that, i would hope that everybody can agree that, you know , looking a woman in the eye know, looking a woman in the eye and saying that she should get raped is not really the way to go about doing these things, is it? um, what what else has gone on? i mean, have you noticed then, that that there's been this huge amount of hate towards
3:37 am
yourself and, and other people with your views? >> yes. as soon as, uh, people heard about that, uh, we were becoming a society and, uh, who was on the committee, we would get messages from the opposing opinion , uh, with hateful opinion, uh, with hateful messages saying we're disgusting , that we're horrible, that we should be ashamed of ourselves and we're a we're a peaceful society . we just want what's society. we just want what's best for the women and the baby because we believe that all life is precious . uh, and so we've is precious. uh, and so we've been oppressed for having that view. >> and last night. view. >> and last night . then just >> and last night. then just talk me through exactly what happened.so talk me through exactly what happened. so you were having some kind of meeting somewhere in manchester, and clearly people found out where you were, and they decided to dedicate their thursday evening to hanging around outside and doing things like spitting on you as you left. yeah >> that's right. um yeah. so we had just met for an introductory talk explaining who we were,
3:38 am
what our opinions were, and that we were not going to become , uh, we were not going to become, uh, horrible to people who don't have the share the same opinions as us. um however, we were met with such violence and hatred and, uh, just for wanting to gather together in a group with our own opinion ons and debate as to what we actually believe in. >> and at what point did you realise that there was a baying mob outside, and that the police had to get involved? >> well, as soon as i arrived at the there were already the building, there were already huge of people there. i huge amounts of people there. i had to squeeze through the people who were shouting and shoving. it was quite a terrifying experience . um, and terrifying experience. um, and i mean, this is a this is quite a far reaching terror because it's not just me and the pro—life society who they've tethered. it is also our family, our friends, all the people who love us are now fearing for our safety on
3:39 am
campus as it is , people, uh, campus as it is, people, uh, have already been harassed today, uh, because they've been recognised as being associated with us. uh, and this is not a how far have we. why has our society become a place where tolerance has only extends to those who share the same opinions as you? >> yeah, i would also argue again that, you know, we're all right. these views might be contentious. and it's one of these things that everyone's got an opinion one way or the an opinion on one way or the other, actually your view other, but actually your view is a mainstream view. you know, most religions would share your view. okay. most of the, uh, more established religions certainly would share your view. and until really quite recently, it was the prevailing view in society. okay. so the idea now that people should be hammered for it is, i think, a little bit baffling really. what have the universities said about this ?
3:40 am
universities said about this? >> well, the university, they've been very supportive as to keeping our freedom of speech available up until last night. uh, we're not allowed to do any more events until easter because of the safety risk. and the perpetrators of the, the violence last night . um, they're violence last night. um, they're not getting any repercussions . not getting any repercussions. uh, we're not getting any safety measures from the university , so nothing. >> right . so basically, you've >> right. so basically, you've been made to delay any future events and, uh, the people who were saying horrific things , were saying horrific things, which, again, just remind people include telling you that you need to be raped are not going to have any consequences . any to have any consequences. any word from the police ? word from the police? >> um , no, not that i know of. >> um, no, not that i know of. right no. okay. >> okay . i mean, again, this right no. okay. >> okay. i mean, again, this is possibly another quite egregious example of two tier policing, but there we go. um, all right.
3:41 am
well, look, thank you very, very much . i will just ask one final much. i will just ask one final question on this, actually, which is just what would you what you to someone what would you say to someone who who does say, look, know who who does say, look, you know , the pro—life kind of anti—abortion not anti—abortion approach is not really modern, okay? and there are a lot of reasons why someone might want an abortion, including , might want an abortion, including, you might want an abortion, including , you know, ironically, including, you know, ironically, given the context of what we're talking about now, some of the things have been said, you things that have been said, you know, example, mean, know, rape, for example, i mean, what to that be? >> well, rape is a very violent act done to a woman or a man. but in cases of pregnancy resulting from rape, uh , it resulting from rape, uh, it doesn't change the violence of this act does not change the idea. and the fact that a life is formed from this , um, and we is formed from this, um, and we can't justify why murder. just because , uh, they were conceived because, uh, they were conceived from a horrific experience . um, from a horrific experience. um, life is precious. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and you guys have obviously got your your views, and you
3:42 am
know, you're not got any intention to go out and start what? i don't know, you know, loudly campaigning outside abortion clinics and things like that. you just simply wanted to meet up and have a conversation with other like minded individuals. >> and to offer >> and, and we want to offer support to women who may want another other than another option other than abortion, because there are a lot of resources out there that women aren't told. and it's because we are silenced . because we are silenced. >> yeah. and it will be interesting to see how this all pans out on campus, etc, won't it? but i think it possibly does tie into something that many people see, you know. right across the country now, which is the jump to extremity the jump, the jump to extremity when there's a there's the slightest disagreement. well look, thank you very much for coming on. and incredibly brave again to put your face forward, especially given what happened last . we you know, last night. and we do, you know, regardless of what anyone thinks of or like of your views or anything like that, absolutely that, i'm sure absolutely everybody well . and, everybody wishes you well. and, you certainly no harm you know, certainly no harm to come in the come to you or anyone in the society. thank you much. society. so thank you very much. uh, care thank you for
3:43 am

3:51 am
is it that out of for order an mp to say, i don't really want that here? >> no. it can be a problem. and the difficulty is, is that if they're living a separate life, that they're travellers, they've got their own community, they've got their own community, they've got their own vehicles that they bnng got their own vehicles that they bring in. sometimes they're involved in circuses, sometimes even all sorts of things. the kids have got to go to school. all these real life problems have a well, that's part of have got a well, that's part of the problem, by the way, john, sorry, because don't tend sorry, because they don't tend to they don't tend to. but but in terms of trying to integrate them, actually want them, they don't actually want to integrated. want to be integrated. they want to continue life lives. continue with their life lives. and that is up against all the modern things like hold on a moment. well, it's not that modern wandering perfect modern wandering to a perfect campsite and suddenly you arrive and there is aggression often. so i mean, it's a tricky it's their way of life though. >> and, you know, it's not like they've just turned up two seconds ago. you would think that. i mean, i went to a school to a school where there was a
3:52 am
traveller girl and, you know, i understand what you're saying about em coming school and about em coming to school and stuff, we need to stuff, but like, we need to actually traveller actually work with the traveller community to community rather than trying to use stupid, kind of use them as a stupid, kind of political spin. >> i think one thing which is fair is perhaps looking at how much tory mps are willing to talk about traveller community rather than some of the other communities different communities which have different issues. probably issues. and i think probably because to with the because it's to do with the nature traveller nature of the traveller community people community in terms of people coming onto land, etc. that people more able people feel much more able to talk rather some talk about that rather than some of around integration of the issues around integration with different of uk. of the issues around integration wititheyarent of uk. of the issues around integration witithey talk of uk. of the issues around integration witithey talk aboutf uk. of the issues around integration witithey talk about that uk. of the issues around integration witithey talk about that plenty. >> they talk about that plenty. >> they talk about that plenty. >> right. now look >> okay. all right. now look what we're going to do is i'm just going ahead with just going to tease ahead with my a topic i'm going to my panel to a topic i'm going to be talking about later now my panel to a topic i'm going to be tgoing about later now my panel to a topic i'm going to be tgoing to ]out later now my panel to a topic i'm going to be tgoing t0]ou1joined. now i'm going to be joined. well, not that long by george galloway's right the galloway's right hand man. the bloke helping bloke who's been helping him with has been with his campaign and has been pictured next him the pictured next to him at the council, i'm keen to council, etc. i'm very keen to get views on george get your views on george galloway he's an galloway because he's an incredibly figure he incredibly divisive figure. he has . i believe has now been elected. i believe i'm in this to as i'm right in saying this to as many constituencies as winston churchill. only person to do churchill. the only person to do that going all that. he is obviously going all guns blazing into parliament and
3:53 am
hitting the absolute sweet spot of the time. that is his perfect issue. he's capturing the zeitgeist in that regard in a lot of senses . james heale how lot of senses. james heale how big an issue is george galloway going to be in parliament, do you think? well he's got one thing keir starmer doesn't, which charisma, is which is charisma, and that is going to be a huge weapon. >> he's going and levy >> he's going to try and levy against the party, who against the labour party, who are rather than just are now facing, rather than just making labour making this about the labour bus, to bus, the tories, it's going to be starmer also be about keir starmer also having off against having to face off against george and i'll be george galloway. and i'll be fascinated when you fascinated to know when you interview him later. will george galloway london galloway be running for london mayor of a mayor and being a bit of a threat side sadiq threat in the side of sadiq khan? and that, course, could khan? and that, of course, could be the westminster be issues for the westminster leadership. if sadiq khan starts attacking keir starmer's position on certain things. >> george >> i'm sorry, but george galloway no chance in galloway has got no chance in in london. think that london. i just don't think that it says your target market let me smashed it in rochdale. it says your target market let me i�*mashed it in rochdale. it says your target market let mei mean,d it in rochdale. it says your target market let me i mean,d it irbe)chdale. it says your target market let mei mean,d it irbe honest, >> i mean, let's be honest, there's demographic in there's a big demographic in london. think going london. no i think he's going to win. >> i just think he could take votes sadiq yeah votes off sadiq khan. yeah he could i think that, you know, >> but i think that, you know, looking geographically, think looking geographically, i think that area rochdale, it's that an area like rochdale, it's in, in its left wing way is a
3:54 am
different type of left wing i think to london. i think that the that care about, the things that they care about, obviously they share things like wanting but wanting a ceasefire in gaza. but i also people london i think also people in london will further than that will look further than that because a lot because there's been a lot of problematic george problematic things that george galloway said . galloway has also said. >> also the point is >> i think also the point is that people criticise that what people criticise him for opportunism that, you for is opportunism that, you know, over his career, you see him pro—soviet , union, him becoming pro—soviet, union, pro—russian, pro saddam hussein. so if he's going to succeed over this short time, he's got to say, look, i'm, i'm caring about rochdale. i've got to stick with it. well, he's whatever happens is, look, he's setting the court now . you can't you can't now. you can't you can't suddenly know how course he is, you know. well because because one of his things is cleaning the town hall clock. >> right. which you can do on a weekend if you really want to. so there's that. has also so there's that. he has also said going boot out said he's going to boot out a load councillors. i mean, load of councillors. i mean, this going to this is something i'm going to talk yeah. um, his talk to. his is yeah. um, his agent i'm not agent about because i'm not entirely sure how he's going to be do that. he's also be able to do that. he's also said is where he might be

patrick. >> there has been a big claim today and things could be about today and things could be about to get very serious indeed for the labour leader . earlier the labour leader. earlier today, a source contacted me with some astonishing allegations about the alleged conversation between sir keir starmer and the speaker, sir lindsay hoyle , as well as the lindsay hoyle, as well as the labour chief whip . just before labour chief whip. just before the infamous gaza ceasefire vote . earlier today, a source contacted me with some astonishing allegations about an alleged conversation between sir keir starmer and the speaker, sir lindsay hoyle, as well as the labour chief whip. just before that vote. the claim is this that sir keir starmer spoke to sir lindsay before the vote and said that labour mps could be attacked if sir lindsay didn't allow the labour motion that the speaker could have blood on his hands and asked him if he could live with that guilt . the other allegation is that
4:07 am
labour's chief whip, alan campbell , told sir lindsay that campbell, told sir lindsay that he could not rely on the support of labour mps if he wanted to remain as speaker after the next election. well, look, if this is the case, it could be very , very the case, it could be very, very serious for both sir keir starmer and sir lindsay hoyle. sir lindsay now has 93 mps who have that they have no have said that they have no confidence him, today mps confidence in him, and today mps have written the speaker to have written to the speaker to demand that privileges demand that a privileges committee investigate into what happened. that is the other big development. will just development. so i will just reiterate that today, mps have written to the speaker to demand a privileges committee investigate into what happened. so that is the same committee that did for boris johnson in that did for boris johnson in that investigation. would determine whether or not sir keir starmer has held parliament in contempt and if he is found to have done so, the committee could recommend and that he is suspended or even expelled from parliament. now it's important to say that whispers of these allegations were mentioned in
4:08 am
the media aftermath of that gaza ceasefire vote, and they were denied then. now we have put these exact phrases that i stated earlier on to the speaker's office directly, and we asked them if they would categorically deny that sir keir starmer they said those things to lindsay hoyle and the stuff about the labour whip as well. they said to us, quote, no comment. labour says they are categorically untrue to many people. however may wish for a proper full inquiry to be the judge of that . it is expected judge of that. it is expected that sir lindsay hoyle will not make the decision about whether or not a call for the privileges inquiry will take place because he is obviously caught up in this whole scandal himself, so it is likely that it will be handed over to the deputy speakers make that decision. handed over to the deputy spea they make that decision. handed over to the deputy spea they willake that decision. handed over to the deputy spea they will most|at decision. handed over to the deputy spea they will most likely:ision. handed over to the deputy spea they will most likely lean. now they will most likely lean on the clerks for advice. and this another this is again, another interesting this, interesting development in this, because the same because these are the same clerks who warned sir lindsay hoyle not to cave in to labour
4:09 am
over those gaza votes in the first place. and we know that because the clerks published this warned this letter, which warned lindsay hoyle that we have to bow down to labour would be a serious break with convention. it is therefore reasonable to expect that the clerks would advise for there to be a privileges committee investigation into what went on. it is reasonable to expect that. it is reasonable to expect that. i think this could pose a serious problem for sir keir starmer, for two reasons. firstly there is not a huge appetite right from mps to remove the speaker and it is likely that they would be very sympathetic if sir lindsay hoyle decided to say that he was the major victim in all of this , and major victim in all of this, and that he was put under unbearable pressure by the labour leader . pressure by the labour leader. the other problem for sir keir starmer is that the allegations put forward by my source today , put forward by my source today, they were initially denied by labour and in fact they have just been denied again in now, very shortly before we came on air, they just told us, quote , air, they just told us, quote, they are categorically untrue. so they are to have not
4:10 am
so if they are found to have not been truthful about been entirely truthful about this, would play sir keir this, it would play sir keir starmer very difficult starmer in a very difficult position indeed. like i said , we position indeed. like i said, we contacted both the speaker's office and the labour's press office. the speaker has said no comment. deny everything. comment. labour deny everything. many people may wish for this to be had out at a proper full inquiry, swearing under oath. let's get the thoughts now of tonight's panel. i am joined by the spectator's james heal. i've also got john sergeant, the spectator's james heal. i've also got john sergeant , the also got john sergeant, the ex—bbc political chief, and as well apprentice finalist joanna jaflue. well apprentice finalist joanna jarjue . all of you. thank you jarjue. all of you. thank you very much. look, james, i'll start with you on this labour is obviously denied everything just now, before came on air. now, just before we came on air. do you think that we should have an there's very an inquiry? there's a very strong it, and i would strong case for it, and i would just that you look how just say that you look at how the speaker has now lost the confidence 93 2009, confidence of 93 mps in 2009, the last time a speaker quit. >> in these circumstances, it only mps. so we now only took 23 mps. so we now almost three, four times that and i think a lot of mps really
4:11 am
are questioning lindsay hoyle's judgement. and they're saying to me, one more and he's me, one more misstep and he's out really he handles out really well. if he handles something this, something as badly like this, they think a lot more letters will in that of form will go in in that kind of form and edm like that. and sign the edm like that. >> so what do you think, joanna? do should do you think that we should just take starmer word take keir starmer at his word here, categorically here, his team categorically denying people denying everything? some people might be pointing you know, might be pointing out, you know, bofis might be pointing out, you know, boris johnson was denying a lot of we of stuff and that obviously we still through to still get dragged through to a committee don't committee hearing, don't we? >> well, don't believe this >> well, i don't believe this for i think i believe for a second. i think i believe that keir starmer would have had a very impassioned conversation with, obviously with, with the speaker obviously telling and telling him the risks and depending way he depending on which way he he made decision. don't made the decision. but i don't think a second that keir think for a second that keir starmer would threatened starmer would have threatened him would him and said you would have blood hands, and if he blood on your hands, and if he did, i'd very disappointed did, i'd be very disappointed because keir starmer because equally, keir starmer would on his hands would have blood on his hands and because it was his decision to basically push ahead with this and let the snp have this and not let the snp have their if it's, you their day. and if it's, you know, between life and death and then keir starmer, i would have thought, would have made that decision his mps vote to decision to let his mps vote to the nearest thing. and rather
4:12 am
than protecting himself when people kind of basically people are kind of basically being that doing being saying that he's doing this because obviously he's a leader in waiting and obviously he's be able to be he's got to be able to be diplomatic. so i think that , you diplomatic. so i think that, you know, starmer is an know, keir starmer is an upstanding everything upstanding guy from everything that doesn't that i've seen, and he doesn't have a history like people like bofis have a history like people like borjohn, going away . >> john, this isn't going away. all right. now the import was too important developments today. the first one now that today. the first one is now that a group of mps have written to lindsay hoyle saying that they want the privileges committee to investigate this. now, it's expected that sir lindsay will recuse himself from that decision. it will go to the depufies. decision. it will go to the deputies . they'll rely on the deputies. they'll rely on the clerks, those clerks . i mean, clerks, those clerks. i mean, i think it's reasonable to expect that they would say, look, let's just clear this up and have this and have this inquiry right. thatis and have this inquiry right. that is actually really potentially quite a serious situation sir lindsay , situation because sir lindsay, from what can gather , is now from what i can gather, is now becoming more open to the idea of saying i was put under an immense amount of pressure here, saying that he was a victim in all of this. if he says that as
4:13 am
an inquiry starmer to go an inquiry and starmer has to go now. yeah i don't i don't think he can say you know, i was threatened and i'm so weak and pathetic. threatened and i'm so weak and path> i agreed. i think that the thing to bear in mind is that all the people involved would know backwards and know the arguments backwards and forwards they know forwards. they would know perfectly that if he agreed perfectly well that if he agreed to make sure to do what he did do, which is to say there's going to be two votes on this, he knew that it was going to be in deep trouble. but i think there's part sir lindsay to in deep trouble. but i think theronlyart sir lindsay to in deep trouble. but i think theronly met sir lindsay to in deep trouble. but i think theronly met him lindsay to in deep trouble. but i think theronly met him briefly, to i've only met him briefly, but there's is there's part of him which is very much. but shouldn't they all have a vote? you know, should all down should they just all calm down and vote now? it's. that and have a vote now? it's. that sounds reasonable . it's kind of sounds reasonable. it's kind of thing which i can imagine would appeal if he said , if he appeal to him if he said, if he said, there has been said, john, if there has been any whiff that keir starmer has walked in there and said he doesn't need to, everyone can know that. now, what i'm saying is that if he walks in, he's threatening or he's making his representations, whatever he says will be along those lines . says will be along those lines. that's what i'm saying, is that
4:14 am
the argument it's you don't need to be spelled out . they don't to be spelled out. they don't need to be sort of. and you don't need to say to him, now, look, you realise if we if we win next election, won't win the next election, you won't be supported. it's too it's as if it's a courtroom . it isn't. if it's a courtroom. it isn't. it's mates who know . it's mates who know. >> yeah, i get that. >> yeah, i get that. >> but move around. >> but we move around. >> but we move around. >> yeah, but we will know categorically if and you categorically if and what you know, making point know, you were making the point as this be under know, you were making the point as wouldn't|is be under know, you were making the point as wouldn't it. be under oath. wouldn't it. >> this is the key thing. >> well, this is the key thing. but of course, the challenge thing, difference between thing, the difference between this that boris this and boris is that boris johnson on the floor of johnson stated on the floor of the so a record the house. so we had a record there. you he statements the house. so we had a record therein ou he statements the house. so we had a record thereinou parliament,:ements the house. so we had a record thereinou parliament,:emiwere were in the parliament, we were all filming it, etc. whereas this was all he said. said, this was all he said. she said, you doors you know, behind closed doors etc. that's what's etc. so i think that's what's really mean, i suspect really key. i mean, i suspect this may well go this investigation may well go ahead, but i'm not sure it's ahead, but i'm not so sure it's going ahead, but i'm not so sure it's gohthe ahead, but i'm not so sure it's goiithe in dial with this >> the shift in dial with this would be, would be. again, would be, would be. and again, i will stress that the speaker's office quotes no comment to office said quotes no comment to us. don't think we should >> but i don't think we should read that. don't we read into that. i don't think we should into it because if should read into it because if they come and oh, they did come out and say, oh, keir didn't say that keir starmer didn't say that categorically, then a lot of people be arguing,
4:15 am
people would also be arguing, oh, keir oh, look at him. he's on keir starmers side. jumping to starmers side. he's jumping to his defence. >> i think a lot people would his defence. >> i tpeople lot people would his defence. >> i tpeople would )eople would his defence. >> i tpeople would say le would his defence. >> i tpeople would say that, uld some people would say that, well okay, i spin it. i was i was also to say that keir also going to say that keir starmer denies everything, but there no, there we go. um, but uh, but no, i think would, would have i think it would, it would have kind a lot it go kind of made a lot of it go away, frankly. wouldn't it. but i it's up to rishi sunak. i think it's up to rishi sunak. >> if rishi sunak said, look, i the privately obviously more >> if rishi sunak said, look, i th> if rishi sunak said, look, i th> if rishi sunak said, look, i th> if rishi sunak said, look, i th> if rishi sunak said, look, i th> if rishi sunak said, look, i th> yeah. so why doesn't he know? >> why he. exactly. >> so why doesn't he. exactly. so it's this is this is so i mean it's this is this is you very close to the you have to be very close to the game know gains and who game to know who gains and who loses. that's what i'm saying. but person in but if you had one key person in this case, rishi sunak, that would and all stuff would be it. and all this stuff about and all the rest about inquiries and all the rest of it, we're just simply look, onceit of it, we're just simply look, once it got to more than 100 mps, once it got to more than 100 mp5, i once it got to more than 100 mps, i think there's a big i think there's a big movable factor this. factor in this. >> and is lindsay >> and that is sir lindsay hoyle. if sir lindsay hoyle hoyle. and if sir lindsay hoyle is is a big if is and this is a big if, if he is and this is a big if, if he is concerned for his is now as concerned for his position as i am potentially led to believe he is okay and to believe that he is okay and he realises that he's out of
4:16 am
he realises that he's way out of this is to really say that he was a victim in all of this and that pressure put on that immense pressure was put on him. that is said at him. then and that is said at any at a privileges any point at a privileges committee. that is a very , very committee. that is a very, very difficult situation for keir starmer because whilst he hasn't said things floor of the said things on the floor of the house, he's given television interviews said interviews where he said everything's fine and everything's been fine and again, they've just issued a statement saying they categorically of the categorically deny any of the things that we've put out there. so would be a problem. so it would be a problem. >> would be a problem. >> it would be a problem. i mean, i just don't think we'll get because just think, mean, i just don't think we'll ge'john because just think, mean, i just don't think we'll ge'john says,ause just think, mean, i just don't think we'll ge'john says, you just think, mean, i just don't think we'll ge'john says, you know, think, mean, i just don't think we'll ge'john says, you know, lindsay as john says, you know, lindsay hoyle can't himself out to hoyle can't make himself out to be but i think, be that weak. but i think, look, the key with key weakness be that weak. but i think, look, the key starmerth key weakness be that weak. but i think, look, the key starmer is key weakness be that weak. but i think, look, the key starmer is that neakness be that weak. but i think, look, the key starmer is that he'sness for keir starmer is that he's seen inauthentic weak or seen as inauthentic or weak or slippery this. so if slippery in all of this. so if there's anything that says he's been thing public been saying one thing in public and another private, that is and another in private, that is very damaging from very worrying and damaging from a public perspective. >> it turns i mean, >> and if it turns out, i mean, you know, you not worried you know, are you not worried for starmer's reputation or for keir starmer's reputation or this mean, if he was an this i mean, surely if he was an upstanding society upstanding member of society and he's he's he's all by the book and he's got nothing hide, then got nothing to hide, then why wouldn't welcome an inquiry, wouldn't he welcome an inquiry, swear and have it
4:17 am
swear on the bible and have it out there? >> well, i think that you know, like before, depends like i said before, it depends what so what was actually said. so obviously, that obviously, if a source says that keir for keir starmer threatened, for example, may be that after example, it may be that after a bit investigation they would bit of investigation they would say, crossed say, you know what, you crossed the wasn't to the the line, but it wasn't to the extent of threatening him and saying on saying that he's got blood on his i think when you make his hands. i think when you make it then it it sound that bad, then it becomes, a bigger becomes, you know, a bigger argument it actually is. >> i think also bear in mind if rishi sunak has decided to, not to rug from under him, to pull the rug from under him, he may want something back . you he may want something back. you see game in westminster is see the game in westminster is always i helped you, you know, there there were nearly 100 mps who wanted you out . i want this who wanted you out. i want this done. it's always useful to have something in the back pocket. and now you may say, well, this is all deviousness. it's called westminster. it's called politics. >> and also remember, john, of course, this week's pmqs, you saw hoyle refused saw lindsay hoyle refused to interrupt every that interrupt it every time that sort of sunak started sort of rishi sunak started having keir starmer, having a go at keir starmer, who was so perhaps was very muted. so perhaps government let's government is thinking, let's have more muted have a better, more muted speaker who isn't going to intervene. is get intervene. well, this is we get to election because there's to the election because there's some of the alternatives, by the
4:18 am
way, shocking. way, are pretty shocking. >> well look, watch >> all right. well look, watch this it. this space when it comes to it. again stress we put all again i will stress we put all these allegations to the speaker and party. the and the labour party. the speaker's said comment and the labour party. the speakit's said comment and the labour party. the speakit came said comment and the labour party. the speakit came to said comment and the labour party. the speakit came to the comment and the labour party. the speakit came to the claim �*nment and the labour party. the speakit came to the claim that nt when it came to the claim that keir starmer went in and was very, very forceful about some of the issues that lindsay hoyle may have to personally live with. if a labour mp was attacked . and also, of course, attacked. and also, of course, the issue of the allegation that a whip went in and a chief whip went in and threatened lindsay , that labour threatened lindsay, that labour party wouldn't, uh , choose him party wouldn't, uh, choose him again as speaker , uh, they said again as speaker, uh, they said no comment. keir starmers office have denied this. there are calls now, serious calls and indeed a has gone in to indeed a letter has gone in to have a investigation of have a investigation into all of this . and i think it's this. and i think it's relatively likely that we will what we get out of this investigation remains to be seen, but it's likely that we'll get anyway. get the investigation anyway. coming , shift tone, coming up, a shift in tone, a willy experience gone willy wonka experience gone wrong where dreams wrong has branded where dreams went and our future king went to die and our future king was seen doing shots in wales, but next is this man's rochdale by—election win a nightmare for the labour leader keir starmer .
4:19 am
4:23 am
christys tonight only on gb news. now as discussed workers party of britain leader george galloway overturned a labour majority in the rochdale by—election last night. labour having withdrawn support for their own candidate after alleged anti—semitic remarks . alleged anti—semitic remarks. now, nonetheless, galloway issued a warning for sir keir starmer after his win . you have starmer after his win. you have paid and you will pay a high price for the role that you have played in enabling and encouraging and covering for the catastrophe . catastrophe. >> we are presently going on in occupied palestine in the gaza strip . strip. >> yeah, look, during the campaign, george galloway had said a lot of things. he's going to make the walls of westminster quake. subsequently as well to that a little bit later on in the evening, he said that he was primed go. they had primed and ready to go. they had about 59 candidates ready to
4:24 am
stand seats , and that stand in other seats, and that they either going just they were either going to just beat labour outright or taking up votes off them, that it meant that anyway. how that they lost anyway. so how big a threat is this for keir starmer? someone starmer? let's speak to someone who a little bit who can tell us a little bit more. he's been at the heart of the george galloway story for quite good see you. quite a while. good to see you. it's yeah. so look it's james giles. yeah. so look is starmer's worst is this keir starmer's worst nightmare is this keir starmer's worst nig yeah.a is this keir starmer's worst nig yeah. patrick is this keir starmer's worst nigyeah. patrick i really do >> yeah. patrick i really do think it is . think it is. >> there are swathes of agencies across the country , uh, where across the country, uh, where the majority party is, uh, not enough for labour given their current stance. >> and i think george is right. there are 60. i actually make it about 80 seats. uh, where an independent, uh, or , uh, workers independent, uh, or, uh, workers party candidate , uh, would party candidate, uh, would undoubtedly sway the result significantly . significantly. >> okay. all right. i mean, i suppose the question is, what's george going to do on his first day in westminster? what's his what's his big speech? what's going to happen? what's he got
4:25 am
planned? >> well, look, uh, it's customary for the winner of a by—election to be called at the first prime minister's questions . uh, after their win , uh, and i . uh, after their win, uh, and i fully expect , uh, george to be fully expect, uh, george to be on his feet in the chamber. uh in his usual manner and style, uh, in there with a bang, uh, to the prime minister, rishi sunak, especially after, uh, his , uh, especially after, uh, his, uh, comments this evening . comments this evening. >> uh, well, yes. i mean, we should mention that, actually. so, uh rishi sunak did say, uh, that i mean, i'm paraphrasing here, but he basically said that george galloway is not a particularly nice chap and he's an extremist endorsed by an extremist and was endorsed by nick griffin of the racist nick griffin british national griffin of the british national party . so he mentioned george by party. so he mentioned george by name um, believe george has name. um, i believe george has hit back saying that he, he doesn't care much for the prime minister either , does he? what's minister either, does he? what's george's view on latest that george's view on the latest that rishi sunak has actually had to say him? then yeah. well say about him? then yeah. well i think george's view he think george's view is he would say he ? say that, wouldn't he? >> um, you know, george is a
4:26 am
prolific , uh, tweeter, social prolific, uh, tweeter, social media, uh, user and has , uh, media, uh, user and has, uh, several million followers across his platforms. um, and has hit back resoundingly . he, you know, back resoundingly. he, you know, there's been baseless claims by many people on of, uh, goodness , many people on of, uh, goodness, you know, intimidation, aggression , uh, the only crime aggression, uh, the only crime reported to the police during this by—election, uh, were were the case of one, uh, nutter approaching simon danczuk , uh, approaching simon danczuk, uh, and three of our banners being criminally damaged and stolen in, uh, apart from that, any other claims are entirely , uh, other claims are entirely, uh, baseless and clearly we the people of rochdale , uh, have people of rochdale, uh, have sent george into parliament with a thumping majority. >> yeah . i mean, look, i'm a thumping majority. >> yeah. i mean, look, i'm going to, um , just steer away from to, um, just steer away from some of the claims that i'm aware that there is an active case involved here. let's case involved here. so let's just swerve those just let's swerve some of those things. when it comes to things. but um, when it comes to george's potential role in disrupting the labour party, when we had this now absolutely
4:27 am
infamous ceasefire for vote, uh, two wednesdays ago now , what two wednesdays ago now, what happened there was arguably keir starmer being saved from a massive labour rebellion. both front and back bench of . front and back bench of. according to the guardian, around 100 mps. well then, if you plonk george galloway into the middle of those benches and there's another ceasefire vote, which eventually there will be then rebel , could we see then rebel, could we see a situation where a load of labour mps end up siding unashamedly with george galloway ? with george galloway? >> yeah, i think we could, uh, there are swathes of labour mps , there are swathes of labour mps, uh, who agree almost entirely, uh, who agree almost entirely, uh, with what george has to say. uh on the issue of gaza . but due uh on the issue of gaza. but due to the, uh, authoritarian leadership under sir keir starmer, anyone who dares speak out , even in starmer, anyone who dares speak out, even in the most mild of ways , seemingly get suspended ways, seemingly get suspended from their role in the labour
4:28 am
party . uh, but from their role in the labour party. uh, but this result, i think, will make every labour mp sit up straight and listen because they know if they don't listen to people , will, uh, will listen to people, will, uh, will come the general election , come the general election, they're going to be in just a little bit of trouble. yeah. >> but the other fact is that keir starmer can't really stand >> but the other fact is that keito tarmer can't really stand >> but the other fact is that keito george can't really stand >> but the other fact is that keito george galloway.y stand >> but the other fact is that keito george galloway.y sanyone, up to george galloway or anyone, can because he is i mean, can he? because he is i mean, he's been trying to cling to on the political demographic that george is targeting anyway. so i mean, keir starmer can't really come out and slam george canning. >> uh, well , canning. >> uh, well, you could canning. >> uh, well , you could say that, >> uh, well, you could say that, but let's wait and see. >> i'm sure he'll try and find a way. >> i mean, you would want him to, though, wouldn't you? is the thing . thing. >> well, no. look, we want george to be able to present his case in parliament. his views are backed according to the opinion polls, by the vast majority of the british public. and indeed by the vast majority of the public around the world. people want a ceasefire, people want an end to the killing of
4:29 am
innocent women and children. and that's a voice in parliament who will advocate more fiercely for that, i think, than any other mp currently on the green benches. >> is he going to run to be mayor of london? do you think? no no. absolutely not. no. really. okay interesting. interesting. all right. and he's you think he's going to you think he's going to stay on in rochdale or fight the next one as and when we have a general election now he's not got sights on you on a safer seat. there's you know of bethnal know there's talk of bethnal green of these places. green and all of these places. he's going to have a bet on he's not going to have a bet on that, is he. >> no, no i mean look this, uh, i really don't talk of i really don't like, talk of safe myself. no one is safe seats myself. no one is entitled vote . no one party entitled to vote. no one party is entitled . no one candidate is is entitled. no one candidate is entitled. you have to fight for every vote . um, you know, the every vote. um, you know, the next election george has already said publicly will be his last time in parliament if he's elected. so the way he sees it, it's a fixed terms , potentially it's a fixed terms, potentially five year contract with the people of rochdale.
4:30 am
>> okay . all right. and final >> okay. all right. and final very final question james. there's there no concern at all about the potential for a relatively and i appreciate that what i'm about to say could be taken out of context. a relatively militant base here right where people have been accused of , you know, being very accused of, you know, being very agitated about the situation in gaza. agitated about the situation in gaza . uh, there have been claims gaza. uh, there have been claims of, you know, some quite rowdy support for george galloway. do you think that maybe there are potential issues there that george has really ramped up tensions as opposed to actually , tensions as opposed to actually, you know, really achieving anything ? anything? >> well, the man who's ramped up tensions was azhar ali, who made a series of crank claims as, um, you know, the man, in his own words, made claims that were stupid , false. uh, these are his words. >> we respect the chris williamson was on was on gb news last night and did i mean it took him all of about five minutes to bring up auschwitz
4:31 am
and make a comparison between that going on in that and what's going on in gaza? said there's gaza? i mean, he said there's more killed more people being killed by israel in, uh, in the gaza strip than, than were , um, than, than were, than were, um, killed, killed every day , if killed, killed every day, if i may, chris lives in derby. >> we're talking about george's election in rochdale. i was in rochdale every day, uh, bar a few, uh, when i was down here in london. uh, and i witnessed the campaign firsthand . any campaign firsthand. any accusations there was anything intimidatory going on? frankly is for the birds. and it's clearly for the birds. based on the fact that not a single complaint about any of our campaigners conduct was questioned or complained about. >> okay, all right. look, thank you very much, james. i do hope to talk to you again in the future because this is this is this is going to be big news for a time. the is, you a long time. the fact is, you put galloway somewhere put george galloway in somewhere and, lot happens and, and, uh, a lot happens a lot happens. look take care james. the best. that's james. all the best. that's james. all the best. that's james charles there. george galloway right. okay galloway agent. right. okay coming up next, my panel are here with the liveliest, most entertaining paper of you. you will get anywhere on the telly
4:32 am
and important as well to say yes . um, we will be digging into why there are no women on the ballot in the rochdale by—election. we're going to be talking about that. i've just been reminded in my ear now to also say a very serious story. this. yes, the on this. yes, it's the latest on this shooting in clapham in this mass shooting in clapham in london. we are going to be giving you up to the minute updates on that as we understand it, about three people have been injured. look, tuned. we'll injured. look, stay tuned. we'll have
4:35 am
all right. it's time now to bnng all right. it's time now to bring you a first look at tomorrow's front pages. let's do it . okay, so we go to the daily it. okay, so we go to the daily express. now uh, we'll beat this poison in a landmark speech, the prime minister calls out the shocking increase in extremism, threatening to tear britain apart. he delivered on the apart. he delivered that on the steps downing street earlier steps of downing street earlier today. paper we're today. the next paper we're going showing you the going to be showing you is the daily rishi delivers daily mail. rishi delivers speech. needed to hear.
4:36 am
speech. britain needed to hear. this is by quentin letts after galloway's alarming by—election win, the pm's powerful and personal attack on extremists trying to tear us apart. uh, so that's again leading the agenda there. the i well , there's a there. the i well, there's a theme here, starmer tells uk . theme here, starmer tells uk. i'm sorry about galloway . um, i'm sorry about galloway. um, labour leader apology rises to the voters of rochdale. obviously again rishi sunak giving his speech a bit earlier on. let's go to the mirror. gerry's texts turmoil, husbands flirty chats go viral as she's en route for show of solidarity . en route for show of solidarity. she asks awkward isn't it gerry horner was flying to join her husband christian, in bahrain when apparently the alleged flirty tax, uh, emerged . the flirty tax, uh, emerged. the daily star. why the long face cops deployed a giant six foot, two inch farting horse to wipe the smile off thug's mushes. and yet again, the daily star cover the story that everyone really wants to hear. okay and look, before i go to my panel on that,
4:37 am
i do want to bring in, i believe , our home security editor, mark white, uh, who is going to be telling us the very latest when it comes to a concern thing. and as i understand it, ongoing incidents in cockpit mark, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. so what is the latest in what's happened in clapham? please >> well , more clapham? please >> well, more violence on the streets of the capital tonight. an incident that unfolded at rush hour in clapham . uh the rush hour in clapham. uh the south side of clapham , where south side of clapham, where police were in pursuit of a moped with two suspects on board. now, according to scotland yard, this moped had failed to stop. we don't know why they were trying to stop that particular motor head, but they were in pursuit of it. then at one point, uh, one of those on board the moped apparently fired what's believed to have been a shotgun , uh, towards, we been a shotgun, uh, towards, we think , towards the pursuing think, towards the pursuing officers. but it actually missed. and managed to, uh, go
4:38 am
through a pub window. the bellevue pub in that area , at bellevue pub in that area, at least one person, possibly two inside the pub , were injured, inside the pub, were injured, suffering, suffering shotgun wounds. another person was injured outside on the street, struck by the moped . now the struck by the moped. now the injured have all been taken off. three people have been taken to hospital, two of them to a major trauma unit . hospital, two of them to a major trauma unit. uh, but we believe at this stage that the injuries are not life threatening, but a very serious and worrying incident. there was a very significant police and ambulance and other emergency services response to this. as you would expect , right in the heart of expect, right in the heart of russia in a busy area of london, concern , of course, that this concern, of course, that this may have been terrorist related. the latest i'm hearing from sources is that it wasn't a terror related incident. we can notch it up to yet more violent crime in the capital, and that will pile more pressure on the london mayor, sadiq khan, who's already been criticised of late,
4:39 am
with him passing a grim milestone with a thousand people killed in the capital. uh, since he , uh, became the mayor of he, uh, became the mayor of london, mark wyatt. >> there are home security edhon >> there are home security editor. look, thank you very, very much, mark. great to see you. great to have you on the show. yeah. concerning events there clapham, it there in clapham, although it does thankfully appear not to be terror related. little terror related. very little consolation people consolation to all of the people injured, but let's injured, of course, but let's tackle now an inside story. so it's regulars , it's one of our regulars, allison pearson. she was on my show last night and she was on our by—election coverage last night pointing night as well. she was pointing out that there women on out that there were no women on the in rochdale. all the ballot in rochdale. all three of female mps that we three of the female mps that we do have need extra security due to heightened security concerns since the gaza attacks, the concern that allison pearson was sharing was another idea about whether or not women in certain communities, i.e. the muslim community. let's be honest with what she was saying there. uh
4:40 am
are going to have enough democratic representation. and certainly when it comes to things like postal votes, if you're very patriarchal home you're in very patriarchal home lives , are you always voting the lives, are you always voting the way that want? allison way that you want? allison pearson issue very, very pearson is an issue very, very close heart. uh, joanna, close to her heart. uh, joanna, do you think that we do have enough women in politics? you enough women in politics? do you think to some think when it comes to some of these we're seeing these areas that we're seeing now, rochdale or where it now, like rochdale or where it is specifically designed get is specifically designed to get the muslim vote , the quote unquote muslim vote, is that going to be an issue when it comes to standing female candidates? think potentially. >> but i do think that, um, you know, look at the house know, when we look at the house of 35% of mps are of commons, 35% of mps are women, and i think that it's at a record high now that we've ever more than a third of ever had more than a third of the house of commons and being women. is rising. but women. so it is rising. but at the same time, it's not exactly 5050, so there's 5050, is it? so there's still a lot of to do, but at the lot of work to do, but at the same time, i think it will same time, i think that it will be, difficult for be, uh, extremely difficult for a woman of colour to be in politics. i actually studied politics. i actually studied politics at uni, and by the end of it i looked at all the female of it i looked at all the female of colour and how they're
4:41 am
treated , and i thought, no, i'm treated, and i thought, no, i'm not doing it . you know, i think not doing it. you know, i think in 2019, uh, a black woman mp, uh, got 90% of all online hate . uh, got 90% of all online hate. so you've also got to look at the wider ecosystem of how female politicians are treated, whether they're white, black or asian, but also female politicians of minorities , how politicians of minorities, how they're treated as well. >> so it's so basically it's tncky >> so it's so basically it's tricky enough as it is would be my takeaway from that. and if we are adding certain things about, you know, additional pressures, we're trying to appeal to the, the maybe more hard line elements of the british muslim community. do you think that could for female could pose a problem for female representation or not? representation in john or not? >> well, the area >> well, i think the whole area is difficult , >> well, i think the whole area is difficult, and is extremely difficult, and there's no doubt that more and more women mps are saying how difficult their lives have been . difficult their lives have been. and now we hear that they're given special protections. it given special protections. so it does look as if the situation is not getting better, which it seemed for such a long time. the other happened other thing that's happened is that labour have made quite clear general
4:42 am
clear that in this general election, they will not be having shortlists . having all women shortlists. yes. so that was that was a point that made such a difference. >> that was a point that was made last night actually, which is that labour have had all female shortlists and then it's something that's almost quite, i think which think conspicuous, which is that they not it, they're they are not doing it, they're not doing it. >> because think they not doing it. >> it'secause think they not doing it. >> it's against think they not doing it. >> it's against the ]k they not doing it. >> it's against the law]ey not doing it. >> it's against the law now. think it's against the law now. well has changed, but they well law has changed, but they certainly didn't do it in rochdale. >> would takeaway >> what would your takeaway be for think i think for this, do you think i think in some ways we can be looking at the end here, which is at the wrong end here, which is that on one we that on the one hand we can obviously with obviously provide mps with female, with bodyguards, you know, bodyguards. them all the protection >> give them all the protection they want. but actually that's not of looking the not kind of looking at the issue, which are the issue, which is who are the people out kind people putting out this kind of hate perpetrators, etc. hate and the perpetrators, etc. and i think the full force of the be brought down the law needs to be brought down on not about on them. so it's not just about protecting from protecting the women from anything sort of anything like that, like sort of abuse, that to sustain abuse, etc. that have to sustain any of that. but it's also about finding out, out the finding out, rooting out the people out. yeah people who are putting out. yeah look offline look online and offline and finding think the finding them. i think one of the points that allison pearson was making none of the making was none of the candidates were female. >> you do look >> last night when you do look
4:43 am
around, rallies around, a lot of these rallies that were from the that we were seeing from the likes george galloway, etc, likes of george galloway, etc, there a huge of there were not a huge amount of women the crowd either. women in the crowd either. it was very dominated was a very, very male dominated thing. of things thing. is that a sign of things to come? >> bring why bring it up >> why bring it? why bring it up now? is what irritates me now? this is what irritates me when there's a big issue like this, don't want this, because people don't want to be called racist, but all know. a sudden now we know. but all of a sudden now we want know, want to be feminists. you know, when women are being when these women are being called, letterboxes called, you know, letterboxes and that, people and things like that, people like jump like allison pearson don't jump to but it's to their defence. but when it's time cheek shot at the time to give a cheek shot at the muslim to basically muslim community to basically say know, there's say that, you know, there's a patriarchy i'm patriarchy there, i'm sure i'm sure allison pearson not here sure allison pearson is not here to would to defend herself, would say that been proud that she's always been a proud supporter of women's rights. >> now time for a very >> now it's time for a very quick video. what on earth >> now it's time for a very ngoing video. what on earth >> now it's time for a very ngoing on lideo. what on earth >> now it's time for a very ngoing on .deo. what on earth >> now it's time for a very ngoing on . here?ihat on earth is going on. here? okay, so that man there, uh, thought that it would be better to haul his body up the handrails than walk on a stairway painted with the pride flag . read into that, whatever flag. read into that, whatever you will look. coming up, we have our panellists give their
