disappointing because everybody waite of too well, that's disappointing because everybody waiteoftoo thisa/ell,that's disappointing because everybody waiteof too this alell, th the kind of what this is with the tories promises tax tories and their promises of tax cuts. hearing for cuts. we've been hearing for months worry. cuts. we've been hearing for mo the worry. cuts. we've been hearing for mo the tax orry. cuts. we've been hearing for mo the tax cuts they're coming, >> the tax cuts they're coming, they're better. >> and now here we are the >> and now here we are on the eve budget. there eve of the budget. and there aren't really aren't going to be any really meaningful cuts. and we're meaningful tax cuts. and we're back whitehall meaningful tax cuts. and we're back uh, whitehall meaningful tax cuts. and we're back uh, know, whitehall meaningful tax cuts. and we're back uh, know, andtehall meaningful tax cuts. and we're back uh, know, and there waste. uh, you know, and there is truth in don't get is some truth in that. don't get me wrong. he's right that, uh, the miserably, the state has failed miserably, certainly start certainly since the start of the pandemic. that is, of pandemic. uh, but that is, of course, let's let's remember who's been charge throughout course, let's let's remember who'period. charge throughout course, let's let's remember who'period. that's ge throughout course, let's let's remember who'period. that's been'oughout that period. that's been happening watch of happening on, uh, the watch of the conservatives um, so, you know, good of them to know, it's good of them to recognise that and to admit their failings and no doubt that there of waste in there is a lot of waste in things wokester teams, things like wokester teams, which of things that which are one of the things that he's to tackle he's supposedly going to tackle and, but it's and, and productivity. but it's come late. and this is come far too late. and this is not actually going to make any sort real, meaningful sort of real, meaningful difference, people and difference, uh, to people and their what their living situations. what people needed were tax cuts, several years ago, if they were going to be tax cuts what going to be tax cuts and what they've are they've had instead are tax rises repeatedly this rises repeatedly under this government bloat , government increasing the bloat, increasing the size of the state, lowering the state, whilst lowering the productivity state? i productivity of the state? i have no doubt that many of the things that jeremy hunt says he

wants achieve in terms of wants to achieve in terms of cutting whitehall and cutting down whitehall waste and increasing productivity are achievable have achievable. but it would have been helpful been really helpful if they didn't was didn't wait until there was a matter between 6 9 months matter of between 6 to 9 months before election . uh, before the general election. uh, frankly, i think it's come far before the general election. uh, franlatei think it's come far before the general election. uh, franlate in1ink it's come far before the general election. uh, franlate in the it's come far before the general election. uh, franlate in the day. come far too late in the day. >> i mean, we did see >> benedict. i mean, we did see the cut in the autumn the tpp cut in the autumn statement, didn't we, to national that didn't national insurance that didn't do any favours, did national insurance that didn't do it any favours, did national insurance that didn't do it didn't any favours, did national insurance that didn't do it didn't make favours, did national insurance that didn't do it didn't make everyoneiid it? it didn't make everyone go, whoopee let's go vote whoopee do let's go and vote conservative. it didn't even register on the opinion polls. >> it didn't because people's paper , because people's taxes paper, because people's taxes and the amount coming and the amount of money coming out packages in out of people's pay packages in inflation had already gone up so exponentially that, in fact, it literally made no difference to the average person. so to now hean the average person. so to now hear, well, they're hear, oh well, they're sort of toying maybe 1 to 2% of toying with maybe 1 to 2% of income tax, but that's probably not going to happen anyway. and then this, you ask, then after all of this, you ask, well, is are tax well, why is why are these tax cuts not come anyway? cuts not going to come anyway? and there isn't and that. well, there isn't enough . the enough budget headroom. why the office for budgetary responsibility says so. right. office for budgetary resp setibility says so. right. office for budgetary resp set upity says so. right. office for budgetary resp set up the ays so. right. office for budgetary resp set up the office. right. office for budgetary resp set up the office forght. office for budgetary resp set up the office for budget who set up the office for budget responsibility ? the conservative responsibility? the conservative party set that up in order to trap labour when labour tried to

spend its way out of an economic gridlock the next time around, because they didn't anticipate being this long, they being in power this long, they thought were to thought labour were going to come and they thought, this come back and they thought, this will and it'll will be really clever and it'll show really in show that we're really in control oh, whoops. control of spending. oh, whoops. now that has of now it's us that has let go of the strings. everything's the purse strings. everything's gone own gone horribly wrong. and our own office budgetary office for budgetary responsibility says, no, chaps, you do this. you can't do this. >> you know what, benedict? i think whoops just sums up today's politics. so i'm going today's politics. so i'm going to there . you to leave it there. thank you very benedict very much. that's benedict spence our political spence, our political commentator. what jeremy commentator. explain what jeremy hunt was talking about this morning. very well. there i think. and we end the word think. and we end on the word whoops. i don't need to say much more, do i? sadly i'm more, do i? sadly for you, i'm going i've also got my going to, um, i've also got my panel as well joined by a political emma political consultant, emma burnell social policy burnell and social policy analyst , rakib burnell and social policy analyst, rakib hasan. thank you so much forjoining me on a lovely sunday afternoon . soon lovely sunday afternoon. soon now, jeremy hunt, he's on one, two, three, four sunday papers cut tax or lose the grey vote . cut tax or lose the grey vote. chancellor in last in last ditch fight to cut tax by £0.02 tax cut tax cuts will backfire.

that's the observer by the way. just in case you were wondering. um and hunt goes to war on immoral whitehall waste. lots and lots of words. what does rikki neave. i'm going to come to you first on this one. well, i'm at the stage where i don't believe a word anyone says anymore. what do you make of what you've heard jeremy hunt say today? and these front pages with with so many, i'm going to do a, b and c, but not a lot of detail. >> well, it seems like a lot of the focus is on trimming down on woke initiatives public woke initiatives in the public sector. honest , if you >> but to be honest, if you really shore our really want to shore up our national economy, to national economy, we're going to need lot more that. need to do a lot more than that. now, sure now, dawn, i'm not sure actually. this is the time where we be talking about about actually. this is the time where we cuts. be talking about about actually. this is the time where we cuts. if be talking about about actually. this is the time where we cuts. if truth king about about actually. this is the time where we cuts. if truth beg about about actually. this is the time where we cuts. if truth be told, ut about actually. this is the time where we cuts. if truth be told, it about tax cuts. if truth be told, i think that politicians all too often, when it comes to election time, they promise voters all sorts . and i don't think that's sorts. and i don't think that's actually responsible politics at all. i think it's overly short . all. i think it's overly short. termist. i think what we actually need, unfortunately, is actually need, unfortunately, is a high tax and spend agenda to really sort out our social and

economic systems , look at our economic systems, look at our nhs, the waiting lists, astronomical. we have a totally dysfunctional asylum system. our court system is bursting at the seams and if we want to talk about reducing our hyper dependence on immigration, which is skyrocketed , illegal is skyrocketed, illegal immigration in recent times, then we need to invest in the skills and the training of our own british people. but that's not going to come cheap. >> this war on on immoral whitehall waste . i mean, emma, whitehall waste. i mean, emma, it's words. it's words that appeal to the, the red wall, this this red wall. who are after red meat, evidently lots of red going on. um, but, i mean, it's designed to appeal to them. we're going to cut through all waste. how much money is all the waste. how much money is it actually save? and it actually going to save? and how it going to be? how helpful is it going to be? >> well, not very much, not >> well, not very much, and not at uh the two simple at all. uh the two simple answers, , look, there are answers, um, look, there are lots and lots of schemes that are considered woke. some of which you could easily drop . which you could easily drop. they're more about sort of

staffing initiatives , some of staffing initiatives, some of which are actually really important . so which are actually really important. so take which are actually really important . so take the which are actually really important. so take the nhs, for example . if you're a black example. if you're a black woman, you are four times more likely to die in childbirth than if you're a white woman. there is going there . it is something going on there. it is something going on there. it is woke agenda that we is not a woke agenda that we should look at that there are other things in the nhs which i think you probably could scrap without it. having an impact on patients, but ultimately these tiny it's a nonsense. tiny schemes, it's a nonsense. i'm reminded of. tiny schemes, it's a nonsense. i'm reminded of . there's a scene i'm reminded of. there's a scene in father ted. do you remember the wonderful comedy father ted? they've got this, um, ongoing situation where there's a bomb on a milk float. it's very funny. it's based on speed. and their is, oh, should we their answer is, oh, should we do and this is do another mass? and this is what it feels like with the tories . it's like you're. tories. it's like you're. nothing's working. should we nothing's working. oh, should we do yes. mhm do another tax. yes. mhm >> it does feel like that doesn't it. and i think i think if we, we come back to um the, the by—election in doddie aid , i the by—election in doddie aid, i mean that just demonstrated how disarray people are disappointed

ed with the two main parties as well. and the lib dems who weren't even mentioned. i mean, the fact that george galloway and the independent guy who came second, who was just running the local garage and just didn't even know how to campaign, but he came second. labour and it doesn't matter what front page it doesn't matter jeremy it doesn't matter what jeremy hunt about that woke hunt says now about that woke waste in whitehall using it or the w words he possibly can, they're doomed , aren't they? they're doomed, aren't they? >> no, absolutely. and i think that the response of some politicians in, in the political establishment , it's quite establishment, it's quite disappointing to the rochdale by—election, i think, you know, you had the prime minister, for example, outcome example, labelling the outcome as i think as horrifying. i don't think that's the best way to engage with forms of political with various forms of political disaffection and institutional distrust in communities, which i consider to be very left out . consider to be very left out. >> very much so. i mean, that was the thing is, it's coming back to but it's the there is waste in whitehall. i mean, i think we do and there are efficiencies to be made.

>> absolutely. yes. >> absolutely. yes. >> i mean, like but we >> i mean, sort of like but we are if we're are talking about if we're talking cost of living talking in the cost of living crisis here, 66,000 civil talking in the cost of living crisis hejobs»6,000 civil talking in the cost of living crisis hejobs are 00 civil talking in the cost of living crisis hejobs are at civil talking in the cost of living crisis hejobs are at risk, servant jobs are at risk, according to the plans that have been out lined today. and, you know , we do employ more civil know, we do employ more civil servants than we did before the pandemic. that has taken us read. but you think right, okay. well, a these are people we're talking yeah, we're talking about. yeah, we're going to jobs. they're talking about. yeah, we're going to just jobs. they're talking about. yeah, we're going to just numbers, they're talking about. yeah, we're going to just numbers, theynot not just numbers, they're not just thing that needs to just a woke thing that needs to be out. are people be sorted out. they are people with who will be with families who will be struggling their bills well. >> and it's worth saying >> and it's also worth saying that in terms of civil service jobs, not based in jobs, they're not just based in whitehall. sw1 whitehall. they're not just sw1 jobs. one of the things jobs. one of the good things that happened in the last 20 that has happened in the last 20 years is an awful lot of the civil service pushed civil service has been pushed out country, and that out around the country, and that really lots of local out around the country, and that really and lots of local out around the country, and that really and their lots of local out around the country, and that really and their employmental out around the country, and that really and their employment, so areas and their employment, so they understand it's like they understand what it's like in those areas. >> the other >> exactly. um, but the other thing wanted is we thing i wanted to mention is we say we've got too many civil servants. right? okay um, but on the other hand, we haven't got enough people process asylum claims. >> no. absolutely. so, so what's going on here? >> they both can't be right,

surely? >> no. i mean, and i think that we can look the ways we can, >> no. i mean, and i think that we reform k the ways we can, >> no. i mean, and i think that we reform systems. vays we can, >> no. i mean, and i think that we reform systems. i|ys we can, >> no. i mean, and i think that we reform systems. i think can, uh, reform systems. i think jeremy hunt, for example, is talking about how he can create efficiencies in a variety of systems, introducing more things to video calls , for example, to video calls, for example, especially when it comes to criminal investigations. but the thing is , you can't take thing is, you can't take shortcuts either. if actually you find better quality of evidence in terms of taking witness statements, and that actually in actually needs to be done in person. those shortcuts can be quite, counterproductive . quite, um, counterproductive. >> it really is. and the other one, i mean, all of this stuff as well, when you get as well, right? when you get down bits nitty gritty down to the bits of nitty gritty that actually mentioned , down to the bits of nitty gritty thatpolice actually mentioned , down to the bits of nitty gritty that police actut use mentioned , down to the bits of nitty gritty thatpolice actutuse drones1ed , down to the bits of nitty gritty thatpolice actutuse drones toi , the police will use drones to assess incidents as traffic assess incidents such as traffic collisions . well, i mean, collisions. well, i mean, i mean, come on, really is that is that what you want out there? is that what you want out there? is that your great white hope the police going to use drones. police are going to use drones. it'll us a of money. i it'll save us a lot of money. i mean, whoops, i mean, that's going been going to be so haven't we been going to be so haven't we been going and on about the need going on and on about the need for visible community policing? >> maybe they meant >> um, you've maybe they meant drones with wilhelm . maybe drones with wilhelm. maybe that's what they meant. maybe.

repeatedly ignored and missed. i'm sorry, i'm angry. how? anyway, this is not about me. it's about you. so gb views at gb news for a start. but i'm going to see what my panel make of emma i'm coming to you as of it. emma i'm coming to you as a you find this a woman. don't you find this absolutely horrific? okay, labour are going to make training compulsory. why was it not done in the first place? >> well, that's a very good question. there been a long question. there has been a long been a real problem with attitudes towards domestic violence . it's just a domestic . violence. it's just a domestic. mhm. uh, you know, we are living in a country where between two and three women are murdered a week , uh, largely by their week, uh, largely by their partners or recent ex—partner hours. um, this is not something that we should be accepting. it's not something we should be shrugging off as just a domestic. so, yeah, it should have happened a long time ago, but i'm very , very glad that it but i'm very, very glad that it is proposed finally now. is being proposed finally now. and . i mean, we and police vetting. i mean, we all saw . the disgusting report

all saw. the disgusting report on on wayne couzens and his his history , but he's not the only history, but he's not the only one we've seen story after story , particularly in the met, but in police forces around the country. >> but only this week, emma, we had the appalling story of emma caldwell , the girl in scotland. caldwell, the girl in scotland. >> absolutely . >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> you know, and you >> i mean, you know, and you know, family statement. her >> i mean, you know, and you know, saidfamily statement. her >> i mean, you know, and you know, said itmily statement. her >> i mean, you know, and you know, said it was statement. her >> i mean, you know, and you know, said it was a atement. her >> i mean, you know, and you know, said it was a toxicent. her >> i mean, you know, and you know, said it was a toxic culture. mum said it was a toxic culture. misogyny corruption meant misogyny and corruption meant the . many the police failed. so many failed. just but so failed. not just emma but so many girls. many women and girls. >> and again this comes >> yeah. and again this comes back the attitude emma back to the attitude emma caldwell was in a woman in prostitution. yes um, you just say sex worker . no, i hate that say sex worker. no, i hate that phrase . absolutely. yeah. it is phrase. absolutely. yeah. it is not a job that i would allow my niece to do then. it's not. it's not a job. um. um ultimately, you know, you think back to the yorkshire ripper in the 70s and everyone was like, oh, never again. must treat these again. we must never treat these women in such a way. and this happened 2000, 30 happened in the early 2000, 30 years that, we just have years on from that, we just have to be clear that we shouldn't victim blame when it comes to

what whatever they were doing with their lives. however much trouble they got into , they did trouble they got into, they did not deserve to be murdered and they deserve the same policing as anybody else. this is a god. >> i'm sorry you are the only man here. yeah, i'm not holding you responsible. not all men are the same, by the way. and making that clear. right. okay. most men are lovely. even married that clear. right. okay. most m

not, then the effectiveness of this kind of training is going to be limited . to be limited. >> but why? why do we need to? i mean, i'm going to ask i'm going to you as the only man here, to ask you as the only man here, i'm no, all, um , um, i'm sorry. no, it's all, um, um, i'm sorry. no, it's all, um, um, i'm not sorry. you're a man by the way. i'm sorry that i. i'm asking you the feminist asking you all the feminist questions. i'm why do men need training on on how to treat women when they. you know, when they when they're living this sort of experience , when they sort of experience, when they come to them with these complaints, men training? >> but i it's a crying >> but i think it's a crying shame, but it's very clear that there's, in, there's, there's a problem in, in of our police forces in many of our police forces when it comes to a prevailing culture have culture of misogyny, you have to be about that. and also be honest about that. and also look some the grooming look at how some of the grooming gang across country gang scandals across the country have wasn't have been treated. that wasn't just a of racial just a matter of racial sensitivities . political sensitivities. political correctness in some cases , there correctness in some cases, there was victim blaming, was clear victim blaming, blaming tendencies as so blaming tendencies as well. so we need to root out those problematic when it problematic cultures when it comes women and girls are comes to how women and girls are treated within forces. treated within police forces. >> do it, emma? >> how do we do it, emma? i mean, all right. yeah. training okay. have to take domestic

okay. you have to take domestic violence seriously. why you weren't in the first place is another matter. but, i mean, it's like how do we make sure that we are attracting the right men? i mean , because we are men? i mean, because we are talking about men here, the right men to become police officers ? officers? >> well, i think, um, we have to structure the police differently , probably. i think there is , , probably. i think there is, um, a macho culture that exists within the police and then, of course, attracts macho culture people. if we can make the police something that is much more , more, um, much less about more, more, um, much less about having power over people and much more about empower working and working in communities. i think, again, coming back to that community policing point where people have respect for each other, you respect the police and the police respect you . and i think both of those you. and i think both of those things are vital. and i think at the moment that we are expected to respect the police and i think we should live in a society where that is an expected option. but the lack of respect from the police makes

that harder and harder. and the irony of this, i asked a friend of mine the other day, a really, really important question would you get into a police car with a single police male police officer? >> well, this is what happened to sarah everard. she got that police car because he was a police car because he was a police officer and she trusted him. now, everard, i'm him. now, sarah everard, i'm sure we all remember the case. she everything right. she was doing everything right. she was doing everything right. she dressed sensibly. she she was dressed sensibly. she was wearing flat shoes. she was walking along a well—lit street . walking along a well—lit street. everything that women told everything that women are told to to make themselves safe. to do to make themselves safe. so and this is still the question and how do we ever get around that now, the fact that women are are worried about trusting the police , well, trusting the police, well, worried about going to the police. this is why so few rapes and assaults reported and sexual assaults are reported , because women feel , because so many women feel they're to taken seriously. >> now, that, they >> now, on top of that, they have system where have a court system where there's there's such a there's such a there's such a huge when comes huge backlog when it comes to domestic violence and sex, uh, sex offences related cases. and i think what's interesting , i think what's interesting, dawn, is that i've looked through, um , old data when it through, um, old data when it comes to public trust in the

police. traditionally women actually police more actually trust the police more than it traditionally, than men. um, it traditionally, i suspect that's not the case anymore. which is why i feel like it. no, it doesn't it really doesn't . and i know that really doesn't. and i know that we think crying shame we think it's a crying shame that even that this training is even needed, i think that after needed, but i think that after recent think it's recent events, i think it's necessary. >> absolutely. know, and the >> absolutely. you know, and the irony this, whole >> absolutely. you know, and the irony couzens, whole >> absolutely. you know, and the irony couzens horror/hole >> absolutely. you know, and the irony couzens horror happened wayne couzens horror happened under female . under a female. >> all. yeah. the men absolutely see the dick. and that's the that's the sky's the limit of representation. >> you can put you can put a woman in a high position of power and influence. it doesn't mean that she's going to deliver the goods. >> well and again, >> well. and also again, it comes back to it's not about that individual , it's about the that individual, it's about the culture. and she did nothing to change that culture. >> she's very, very much in favour of the continuation of the status quo in my view. >> i agree with that. >> yeah, i agree with that. >> yeah, i agree with that. >> well, i mean, look , it's >> well, i mean, look, it's a plan and hopefully it will work. but the fact we need this plan is thing . is the disappointing thing. agreed isn't it. oh well, any case, uh, we have to move on. i'm dawn neesom mrs. gb news

the government judged that based off the consumer price index and the inflation figures from the year before that, so the consumer price index , inflation consumer price index, inflation figure this time last july was around 6.8. so the westminster government, as well as the welsh government, decided to set the increase of rail fares for the next year at around 4.9. so 5% rail fare increase put that into the context of roughly what that means in real terms. say you're getting an annual season ticket from woking to london. that's going to add around another £190 to your fare. if you're getting maybe a flexi season ticket in between liverpool and manchester a couple of days a week, that's going to add around £92 extra per year. so many campaign groups for the railways saying that this is a necessary pressure on people's pockets. as you say, it's possibly turning people away from the railways more onto the roads. but what are the great british public think these rail fare prices? think of these rail fare prices? have to what some have a listen to what some people have told us. >> i think at the minute nothing's really changed the

nothing's really changed on the trains. it's not really fair trains. so it's not really fair to raise the prices . to raise the prices. >> we are students, so we are always struggling over here because we have to meet our expenditure fees and our rents and everything. so in that case, when the train fare goes higher, it's more difficult for us to survive here. >> i would be quite happy for the rail fares to go up if they invested the profits in the infrastructure, so that the rail network and the rolling carriage was consistently good, standard , was consistently good, standard, and that the trains ran on time . and that the trains ran on time. yeah >> so labour's shadow transport secretary, louise haigh, has said that this fare rise will be tough for passengers to stomach. but the rail minister, huw merriman, said last month that the government had attempted to essentially the difference essentially split the difference between the taxpayer and the between the uk taxpayer and the fare payer, with in relation to these prices. we know in the year up to march last year, the government had spent around £44 billion subsidising the railways

and we know from the likes of the disruption that we've had alone just from the strikes, around £775 million has been lost in revenue. so it's no surprise maybe for the likes of the government both, of course, in westminster and wales, that they've had to put prices up. are >> jack, thank you very much. i haven't cheered me up, love. sorry. that's jack carson in birmingham. they're talking expensive rail fares. oh dear. right. luckily my panel are still with me . one of them has a still with me. one of them has a theory on this . i'm going to theory on this. i'm going to pretend to understand what she's saying, but i didn't in any case, i'm going to talk to ricky first. look, they're not very good. no um, they're they're very expensive. the most expensive in europe. >> it's not value for money, is it ? it? >> it's not value for money. that's that's putting it mildly. what do we do, though? what do we fix it? come on. we do to fix it? come on. >> think firstly in >> well, i think firstly in terms rail this terms of these rail fares, this is increasing . and we is ever increasing. and we didn't that in scotland. is ever increasing. and we dthink that in scotland. is ever increasing. and we dthink it's that in scotland. is ever increasing. and we dthink it's trto in scotland. is ever increasing. and we dthink it's trto increase|nd. is ever increasing. and we dti8.7, it's trto increase|nd. is ever increasing. and we dti8.7, 8.7. trto increase|nd. by 8.7, 8.7. >> good luck. scottish people, which is absolutely remarkable. >> we need to look at

>> i think we need to look at a new when it comes to how new model when it comes to how british rail works post—brexit. britain shouldn't be about british rail users , um, paying british rail users, um, paying extortionate fares and then much of that ending up in the public coffers of european countries. it's a fair point actually. yeah. which is remarkable really. so that trains are running really well though, aren't they? indeed and i think that who's fairly well that anyone who's fairly well travelled in will look at travelled in europe will look at the as they're much the rail fares as they're much cheapen the rail fares as they're much cheaper, more punctual, i'd cheaper, um, more punctual, i'd say, in terms of services . and say, in terms of services. and they're cleaner as well. >> , cleaner, cheaper, >> yes, cleaner, cheaper, efficient. i mean, god almighty. who'd have thought it? um, now, obviously one the big answers obviously one of the big answers to to, to to this is to, um, is to nationalise it, which i think is one of labour's ideas . um, but one of labour's ideas. um, but you know, i don't want the government running my bath, let alone the train company. at the moment, old enough to moment, i'm old enough to remember rail remember british rail back in the was worse . the day, which was even worse. emma solution , so i don't emma has a solution, so i don't think it's about nationalising asian versus the current model. >> and those are the only two opfions

>> and those are the only two options on the table, right? there are ways and ways of taking it out of the insane, broken franchising model that we have at the moment . broken franchising model that we have at the moment. um, partly it could be run by not for profit cooperatives for example, so that at the moment these are private companies whose number one duty is to their shareholders , not to rail users . shareholders, not to rail users. we'd spotted that if we want a train system in this country that puts rail users first, then it needs to be run by and for rail users . and that can mean rail users. and that can mean doing it through the government, but could also mean doing it through an arm's length, distance co—operative that is set up and run in the benefit of rail users . and here's the rail users. and here's the thing. we have at the moment. you've got, um , the rail you've got, um, the rail infrastructure run by one set of people , different rail companies people, different rail companies bidding for these franchises, but they can't run against each other. they get these franchises . they've no investment in the rolling stock, which is part of the huge, huge problem. um, um, the huge, huge problem. um, um, the investment in the actual

rail infrastructure is very poon rail infrastructure is very poor. we know that our climate is changing. we're seeing more flooding. that's one of the things that's that's devastating . a lot of the infrastructure trains we need to use these trains we need to use these trains much, much more. and at the moment this short termism is putting people off of the railways and into their cars. it's opposite of what we it's the opposite of what we should be doing. >> just very, very >> right? okay. just very, very quickly, out of quickly, ricky, we're out of time. problem is, mean, time. the problem is, i mean, the companies the train companies at the moment, a fortune moment, it will cost a fortune soon for to take control. soon for us to take control. yeah. coming from? >> no, absolutely. and think >> no, absolutely. and i think that that is that the point that emma is making isn't making there, that this isn't going matter of full going to be a matter of full blown renationalisation of rail, is not for profit is this not for profit cooperatives essentially more pubuc cooperatives essentially more public private corporation could help on this front in order to keep the costs down. but one thing we know for sure the current model is simply not sustainable. >> and you don't need to buy them out. you need to time them out. essentially, reduce the franchises. if they fail their franchises. if they fail their franchise conditions . and let's franchise conditions. and let's face it, an awful lot of them are failing their franchise

conditions. then they can be taken away from them. that's when can step in with it when you can step in with it needs to greater accountability. >> that's that's sure. yeah >> that's that's for sure. yeah okay. taking over okay. emma is taking over running the train and you've got my vote. brilliant. go for it. good luck. um, right. okay i'm dawn neesom. this is gb news sunday. lots more coming up on today's . do you think today's show. do you think i love this one? do you think that giving every 30 year old british citizen £10,000 will help redistribute wealth ? one tory redistribute wealth? one tory peer seems to think so, so we'll be having a chat about that in a minute. all of that and much more to come. this is gb news, britain's channel don't go britain's news channel don't go too far

hello and welcome back to gb news sunday with me dawn neesom on your telly, online and on digital radio. now hey, how would you like £10,000? no it's

not our great british giveaway . not our great british giveaway. it's a suggestion from a tory peen it's a suggestion from a tory peer, lord willett says a ten grand citizens inheritance should be given to every british citizen. the only catch being you have to be 30, not 29, not 31, 30. he has argued that a generous payout from the next government, whoever that's going to to be, those born between 1981 and 1996, would help redistribute wealth in the country . hm redistribute wealth in the country. hm um, i'm just a little bit past 30. you might have spotted just a bit . you have spotted just a bit. you know, it wasn't that long ago, obviously . um, emma know, it wasn't that long ago, obviously. um, emma , just know, it wasn't that long ago, obviously . um, emma , just give obviously. um, emma, just give every 30 year old regardless of how wealthy they are, £10,000 to help them. i think the original idea is to help them get on the housing ladder. >> i'm not sure where ten grand gets you a deposit for a house these days. not many places . these days. not many places. yeah, um, look , we do need to do yeah, um, look, we do need to do something about wealth inequality , but i'm not sure

inequality, but i'm not sure that giving everybody ten grand does anything about inequality. because you've just given everybody ten grand. so those people who had a lot more to start with have an extra ten grand. those people who had a lot less to start with still have a lot less to finish with. >> they've just got ten grand, but they've got grand. but they've got ten grand. >> love 310 grand. i'm >> i'd love 310 grand. i'm obviously only 30. in way did obviously only 30. in no way did i turn 49 last week. >> you don't look 49. bless you . >> you don't look 49. bless you. >> you don't look 49. bless you. >> you're kinder than you are. honest but, um. but i just think, yes, there are . i'm glad think, yes, there are. i'm glad we're having a conversation about wealth inequality. i'm just not sure this is the solution . solution. >> okay. um okay. i mean, obviously you're just a shade past 30 as well. this is a panel of youngsters here. you have before you, um , this is like before you, um, this is like just every 30 year old, right? regardless of whether they're sort of regardless of their own made in chelsea, for god's sake. it could be millions , you know, it could be millions, you know, or whatever. but yeah , here, or whatever. but yeah, here, have ten grand. no. >> and i think we need to have a

serious we need to have serious policies spreading policies in terms of spreading wealth across the country. we live of the most live in one of the most inter—regional , imbalanced inter—regional, imbalanced economies in the industrialised world. i just don't think this is the right way to go about it. dawn, if it's ultimately about giving people a boost terms giving people a boost in terms of trying to get on the housing ladden of trying to get on the housing ladder, emma has mentioned, ladder, as emma has mentioned, ten do that ten grand doesn't do all that much of the kind of much in terms of the kind of housing that's required, housing deposit that's required, especially cities and especially in the cities and also commuter towns, which are close example, close to london, for example, and the important thing here is what might do. might what it might do. it might increase for housing, but increase demand for housing, but we building . we're not we ain't building. we're not we're not increasing supply . so we're not increasing supply. so what might happen? it what might actually happen? it might to an increase in might lead to an increase in house prices , heating the house prices, heating the housing . housing market up. >> and if i was selling a house with that shortage of housing, which , i'd just which we still have, i'd just be going, just the price up. >> well, and also, you only >> well, and also, if you only have that ten grand, right. and you'll have to get you'll have trying to get a mortgage, the mortgage conditions that you would get on that you are poorer will that because you are poorer will be significantly worse than the

mortgage conditions. you get. if you have a much bigger deposit and we know what that ends up in, because we saw this in the subprime mortgage market that crashed world economy in 2008. >> and is there any guarantee that this this mythical ten grand that we're going to conjure knows conjure up from god knows where? by conjure up from god knows where? by given to 30 year by the way, um, given to 30 year olds is going to be spent wisely on the deposit for a house. ricky. well, indeed , with this ricky. well, indeed, with this 10,000, when you were a young , 10,000, when you were a young, much younger, someone gave you 30 grand. would you have spent it well it's not all it sensibly? well it's not all about me. >> of the day, but >> at the end of the day, but the thing that the only thing i say is that this isn't, um. the only thing i say is that thisi'di't, um. the only thing i say is that thisi'd be um. the only thing i say is that thisi'd be ohi. the only thing i say is that thisi'd be on a plane to new >> i'd be on a plane to new york. sorry, i won't be. york. i'm sorry, i won't be. >> and that's the whole >> yeah, and that's the whole point. there's no. there's no strong point. there's no. there's no strorthis £10,000 would be how this £10,000 would be utilised . i think that this utilised. i think that and this what emma said to me on there, maybe it's just better to invest money ambitious money in a sort of ambitious house building. absolutely. expanding social housing expanding the social housing stock, social housing, stock, build social housing, take that money, build a bunch of social housing, change the whole house, running the railways. >> you can't have housing as well. can i see?

always looking at the inputs and always looking at the inputs and always saying that the way to get services to get better public services is to spend more and actually ask if we could be more efficient . in we could be more efficient. in other news this afternoon, we've heard that a seven year old girl has drowned after a small boat capsized while it was trying to cross the english channel. >> 15 people were on board that boat, including the girl's family , when it sank off the family, when it sank off the coast of calais. the local authority in france have said the boat was not appropriately sized to carry that many people across the channel yemen's houthi militant group has issued another threat against britain, warning that it will target strike. and it says sink more british ships. the rebel group says that britain is a rogue state and they've accused the government here of attacking yemen and collaborate with the us in crimes against gaza civilians. it comes less than 24 hours after a british cargo ship, which was abandoned after a missile strike sank in the red

sea meanwhile, the uk, the us , sea meanwhile, the uk, the us, the eu and many others have military ships patrolling the region to protect commercial vessels that are passing through that important shipping route . that important shipping route. those who preach hate could be blocked from entering britain that's under new plans being considered by the government . considered by the government. reports suggest that current powers could be used to increase the number of people who are added to blacklists if they're deemed to be non—conducive to the public good. that could include those who preach racism , include those who preach racism, intimidation or incite violence . intimidation or incite violence. currently, the rules are typically used to ban people who are known to pose a security threat . the labour party will threat. the labour party will ensure that compulsory training on violence against women and girls is given to all police officers. that's following the inquiry into sarah everard's killer last has also vowed to revamp police vetting procedures to stop those with a history of domestic abuse or sexual offences from joining any police force. the report , published

force. the report, published this week, found that wayne couzens should have never been given a job as a police officer and chances to stop the sexual predator were, they say , predator were, they say, repeatedly ignored and missed. well, today marks three years since he killed sarah everard, who was 33 at the time, after he tncked who was 33 at the time, after he tricked her into thinking he was being she was being arrested. he was sentenced to life in prison and will never be released . ray and will never be released. ray hall passengers in england and wales are facing another 5% price hike from today. wales are facing another 5% price hike from today . that's price hike from today. that's despite train cancellations being among the worst in ten years. campaigners argue the pubuc years. campaigners argue the public are being unfairly punished by the increase . it punished by the increase. it comes after thousands of services were cancelled in the past year . in services were cancelled in the past year. in one of the worst performances in the rail industry since records began in israel has today said that its forces did not strike a gaza aid convoy last week, where more than 100 palestinians died. why while they were queuing for food , a spokesperson for israel said

the majority of people died in a stampede as they charged towards the aid trucks, according to israel's review of the incident. they say warning shots were only fired to try and disperse the crowds and to the united states, where an election rematch is looking ever more likely with donald trump winning three more republican contests overnight night in missouri, in michigan and in idaho, the former president's only rival, nikki haley, is still searching for her first win, trailing second in each state. mr trump has made several false claims at previous campaign rallies, including the allegation that president biden is, he says, trying to overthrow the united states . and that's the united states. and that's despite mr trump himself being charged with conspiracy to defraud the us part of 91 serious crimes he's accused of in four ongoing criminal cases. and finally , last night, brit and finally, last night, brit awards was dominated by singer songwriter ray in a stunning turnaround for the 26 year old

after she was dumped by her old record label . here's the moment record label. here's the moment that she claimed one of the top honours. >> i'm so proud of this album. i'm in love with music. all i ever wanted to be was an artist and now i'm an artist with an album of the year. >> she won album and artist of the year and best new artist, and she was also named songwriter of the year and went on to win the r&b category pubuc on to win the r&b category public vote in total, that means she scooped up an astonishing six awards. that's the most wins in a single year at the brits even in a single year at the brits ever. congratulations to her for the latest stories , you can sign the latest stories, you can sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. com slash alerts. now though, it's back to dawn . now though, it's back to dawn. >> thank you very much, sam. you know, the thing i liked about that clip we just showed of ray was fact she had man on

was the fact she had a man on stage with her. i thought that was really lovely because you would name, wouldn't was really lovely because you would let's name, wouldn't was really lovely because you would let's get me, wouldn't was really lovely because you would let's get straight ldn't you? now, let's get straight into shall into today's story, shall we? uh, jeremy hunt says uh, chancellor jeremy hunt says he the economy to he doesn't want the economy to be too dependent on migration for growth. earlier on, gb news camilla tominey asked hunt if the tories will introduce a migration cap. let's see what he had to say, shall we? what is decided for the next parliament will be a matter for the manifesto . manifesto. >> but what we want to do, and what i'll be doing on wednesday is we move from is saying, how do we move from an that has been an economy that has been dependent on migration for growth to a high wage, high skill economy that is not dependent on high levels of migration? and that is a profoundly different approach to the labour party. they have no strategy or no plan to control migration . ian, we do . migration. ian, we do. >> right. sorry, i was just going, okay. and your plans are exactly any case. sorry. um, let's go to political commentator benedict spence, who might have a better grasp of what the plans actually are . uh,

what the plans actually are. uh, benedict, you don't look too confident about that one. um okay. migration um, what jeremy hunts plans exactly. >> i mean , honestly, your guess >> i mean, honestly, your guess is as good as mine, because perhaps this just sort of shows how cynical i am ultimately is that, you know, i've heard this before. >> i've heard this exact same soundtrack before. we want to get immigration down and we want to high, uh, high skilled, uh, workforce . uh, in the uk , one workforce. uh, in the uk, one that's not dependent on immigration. you have to say, actually, given how badly the uk economy has been doing recently , economy has been doing recently, it would be very difficult to say is dependent on say that it is dependent on on migration, it's migration, because it's certainly not doing it any favours, when you favours, especially when you look at the number of people that of work or that are actually out of work or on some form benefit. we're that are actually out of work or on stall; form benefit. we're that are actually out of work or on stall; fortime benefit. we're that are actually out of work or on stall; fortime benethere e're that are actually out of work or on stall; fortime benethere are told all the time that there are lots of jobs that need lots and lots of jobs that need filling in. that's why we need lots but lots of people to come. but actually there's plenty of people who aren't work people who aren't in work in this that this country and all that this does, this mass does, all that this mass migration does is simply under, uh, pressure uh, put more pressure on wages to them ultimately, to keep them down. ultimately, if want a situation where if you want a situation where you don't need lots people

you don't need lots of people coming country, the coming into the country, the first actually you need is first thing actually you need is to the people yourself. to create the people yourself. you need replacement of you need replacement levels of births, and we don't have that. so actually, you know, this isn't simply a question of immigration. this if you want to achieve this, you need pro—natal policies and that includes all sorts of things. baby it tax breaks for families and people who actually have children to affordable childcare to more who actually have children to afforda placesldcare to more who actually have children to afforda places ,icare to more who actually have children to afforda places , uh,3 to more who actually have children to afforda places , uh, t0) more who actually have children to afforda places , uh, to better school places, uh, to better university education to houses. these are none of these are things that we plan on doing. and it's sort of all part of this. all encompass thing, uh, problem that we it's very problem that we have. it's very easy of pinpoint one easy to sort of pinpoint one very unpopular issue, which we all know that migration is very unpopular and say, well, we've got but it's got to address this, but it's part sort of a systemic part of a sort of a systemic wide problem. there is no easy fix for it . fix for it. >> why is the devil always in the detail and the detail is never there ? never there? >> i mean, ultimately, because i don't think the conservatives actually expect to win the election, that all this is, is about damage limitation. so they

can sort of put out these sort of quite meaningless slogans in the that they'll sort the hope that they'll sort of garner a few votes because they know that not going to know that they're not going to be for this. know that they're not going to be is for this. know that they're not going to be is going for this. know that they're not going to be is going to for this. know that they're not going to be is going to be for this. know that they're not going to be is going to be labour's this is going to be labour's problem up problem that labour ends up inheriting. conservative, inheriting. so the conservative, it's things i it's one of the things that i find it slightly that, find it slightly bizarre that, you chancellor you know, that the chancellor finds so in hock to the finds himself so in hock to the obr, almost obr, he can promise almost anything. it doesn't by anything. it doesn't matter by the to actually the time it comes to actually implementing not implementing things. he's not going anymore. going to be chancellor anymore. so, know, it comes to so, you know, when it comes to saying, what we're saying, oh, well, what we're going to do is we can have a low immigration in, society. he immigration in, uh, society. he could say we're going to have immigration in, uh, society. he coulduh,( we're going to have immigration in, uh, society. he coulduh, migration ng to have immigration in, uh, society. he coulduh, migration if] to have immigration in, uh, society. he coulduh, migration if he have immigration in, uh, society. he coulduh, migration if he wanted zero, uh, migration if he wanted to. he could literally just pluck out the air. pluck a figure out of the air. it's going to make it's not going to make the blindest difference. and blindest bit of difference. and ultimately they to ultimately, even if they were to get power somehow, get back into power somehow, nobody anyway, nobody would trust them anyway, because every single time they have promised lower levels of immigration and they've gone up significantly more than anybody possibly imagined that they would do. >> lovely . benedict spence, i'm >> lovely. benedict spence, i'm so glad you joined us all on this sunday afternoon to cheer us there. thank you very us up there. thank you very much. time. us up there. thank you very much. you. time. us up there. thank you very much. you. have time.

us up there. thank you very much. you. have a time. us up there. thank you very much. you. have a lovely1e. us up there. thank you very much. you. have a lovely rest of thank you. have a lovely rest of your weekend and rikki neave , your weekend and rikki neave, because have got such a because we have got such a marvellous record on immigration in this country. i mean, we've got 745,000, the highest net legal migration pretty much even legal migration pretty much ever. i think . um, so we've got ever. i think. um, so we've got a really good record on this, haven't we? so fair play to jeremy hunt for tackling it in the way that he is saying he is. >> well and we're, we're seeing these figures often in 14 years of tory led rule . uh, as well. of tory led rule. uh, as well. i think there's , there's such think there's, there's such a fundamental gap between the rhetoric and the reality when it comes to the conservative party statements on matters of immigration. and one of the ways you , you, um, reduce immigration you, you, um, reduce immigration is actually by having an active industrial strategy, investing industrial strategy, investing in british skills, apprenticeships , training. i apprenticeships, training. i don't see much of that. more than anything when it comes to nhs and, um, social care . the, nhs and, um, social care. the, uh, tory led rule has seen the rolling back of those bursaries , rolling back of those bursaries, um, especially in nursing. so

it's very contradictory. it's very muddled. and i think that very muddled. and i think that very much characterises much of the tory led rule over the past 14 years or so. i mean, this isn't tory bashing, by the way, but they are the ones in power. >> are talking >> exactly. and we are talking about with jeremy. about an interview with jeremy. indeed. i mean, so that's why we're you know, you we're i mean, you know, you don't much detail don't exactly hear much detail from or you do hear from labour or when you do hear detail , they explain they're detail, they explain how they're going everything by going to fund everything by tackling playing tackling the non—dom tax playing status. um, stop looking at me like emma. you're you're running the trains after this, remember? you've lot on your you've got a lot, a lot on your plate afternoon. we've, plate this afternoon. but we've, you know, benedict you know, you know, benedict mentioned sort of like, you know, childcare know, improving childcare so families of like we can families can sort of like we can have babies basically. and have more babies basically. and then sort of like, you know, you know, this know, expanding training in this country, especially in country, you know, especially in the where we the care industry where we nobody is doing that job, nobody wants to do that job because we treat so appallingly. treat carers. so appallingly. absolutely. so mean, know, treat carers. so appallingly. althisitely. so mean, know, treat carers. so appallingly. althis all'. so mean, know, treat carers. so appallingly. althis all just mean, know, treat carers. so appallingly. althis all just a mean, know, treat carers. so appallingly. althis all just a white know, treat carers. so appallingly. althis all just a white noise ;now, is this all just a white noise of promises? is this all just a white noise of pr mean,? is this all just a white noise of prmean, i'm not even sure >> i mean, i'm not even sure it's that they keep saying, you know, that obviously the tory strategy at the moment is to say

labour we a labour has no plan. we have a plan. never a next plan. there's never a next sentence as to what that plan is. comes there none, you is. plan comes there none, you know, and then they go, oh, we need to fix these things. and he's like, well, who's been in charge for 14 years? why is it all broken ? because of the all so broken? because of the things that you have done. so even if you had a plan, i wouldn't trust you with it because actually your plans that you implemented have been you have implemented have been so poor and have led us to where we now. we are how. >> we are now. >> and do , i mean, it's >> and if we do, i mean, it's better mentioning that you better than mentioning that you know, say, know, jeremy hunt could say, right, no migration. right, we'll have no migration. we'll have no one coming into this country. how would we fare if case? if that was the case? >> no, absolutely, absolutely . >> no, absolutely, absolutely. because there's been such a shortage of investment in british skills, apprenticeship and training, you simply just can't you and training, you simply lust can't you can't and training, you simply just can't you can't plug those gaps overnight . but yeah, should overnight. but yeah, we should have for some have been doing that for some time. but there's been there's been of been a fundamental lack of government action these government action in these areas. when it comes to areas. and when it comes to social care, nhs, we need to have serious discussion have a very serious discussion about working conditions. if about pay working conditions. if we want to have a more family

friendly country , we to friendly country, we have to make that it make the point that when it comes parental for comes to parental leave, for example , after a newborn example, after a newborn arrives, we lag behind most of europe on those fronts. so we need so . so we need to talk need so. so we need to talk about more family friendly protections for the british worker don't worker as well. i don't hear much the much of that from the conservative party. >> also know, we >> and we also we you know, we talk people who are of talk about people who are out of work an awful lot of people who are out of work are choosing to be poorer , doing so because work be poorer, doing so because work is so bad for so many people. we never talk about that. we never talk about making working conditions better for people. it's always , oh, you know, make it's always, oh, you know, make the benefits. even more punitive. people are choosing to be poorer because work is so appalling for so many people. >> i want you mentioned it actually apprenticeships in this country. now. it was tony blair, laboun country. now. it was tony blair, labour, who encouraged everybody to go to university. we should all university forget to go to university. we should all thejniversity forget to go to university. we should all the traditional forget to go to university. we should all the traditional working about the traditional working class jobs and apprenticeships. they're not important. go to university, even university, get a degree, even if a degree baby nappy if it's a degree in baby nappy changing or whatever. >> management. >> golf management. >> golf management. >> golf management. >> yeah. golf management. yeah.

you've got first in that. >> didn't you know did >> didn't you know i did actually. yeah. very impressive. um we need to get um so but we, we need to get that message. we do. and i think that message. we do. and i think that involves tackling that also involves tackling the culture snobbery surrounding culture of snobbery surrounding certain as well . certain professions as well. because if you actually look, if you if you look how you dig deep, if you look at how some, in some, some people are paid in those professions, paid those professions, they're paid very indeed . and they very handsomely indeed. and they haven't debt haven't got much university debt either . haven't got much university debt eitino, no. absolutely. >> no, no, no. absolutely. i mean, putting mean, i think putting apprenticeships with a apprenticeships on par with a university degree is essential . university degree is essential. uh, and quite rightly so. um, you know, there are lots and lots of people who are non—academic, but are hugely skilled in other areas . there skilled in other areas. there are lots of people with academic skills who wouldn't to skills who you wouldn't trust to change . um, you know, change a washer. um, you know, but should be treating those, but we should be treating those, as say, equal we as equal as you say, equal we as equal value to society . value to society. >> why aren't we considering it's very well, both it's all very well, both parties, way . not i it's all very well, both parties, way. not i mean, parties, by the way. not i mean, it's that conservatives it's just that conservatives have emma have been in power, as emma points why are we not points out. why are we not tackling the things that actually problem actually would fix the problem rather than these nebulous statements ? um, that, you know, statements? um, that, you know, we'll do a, b and c? >> i used to work for an

organisation called unionlearn, which was part tuc and which was part of the tuc and that was all about apprenticeships . it was, you apprenticeships. it was, you know, it was a huge and we worked quite closely with the government. this is in the early 20105. it government. this is in the early 2010s. it was under the 2010s. so it was under the conservative government and they just sliced the money and slice the money and slice money. the money and slice the money. and is you know, they would and that is you know, they would talk a good game on apprenticeships. and when apprenticeships. and then when it came it, just didn't it came to it, they just didn't fund it. and ultimately it is an investment in our future . and investment in our future. and you know we constantly talk about all government spending as if it's waste some of it is about investment in the state of our services in the country that we live in and in its people, and that is essential. >> and we don't we and certainly i think it's a very interesting point about the point you made about the snobbery regarding some jobs, in particular the traditional working jobs, building working class jobs, the building side, the scaffolder, the driving, the lorries , the driving, the lorries, the working in a care home, the cleaning industry. i mean , my cleaning industry. i mean, my mum, my nan was a cleaner. i come from a history of

come from a long history of cleaners. like , do cleaners. um, it's like, why do we that snobbery in this we have that snobbery in this country about these jobs? these are the important jobs. these are the important jobs. these are that actually keep are the ones that actually keep this they were this country going. they were the jobs the pandemic the jobs during the pandemic that kept country going. the jobs during the pandemic tha absolutely.ountry going. the jobs during the pandemic tha absolutely. but ry going. the jobs during the pandemic tha absolutely. but what,1g. the jobs during the pandemic tha absolutely. but what, um, was >> absolutely. but what, um, was the percentage of mps in the current house of commons that hailed from traditional working class professions ? well, i think class professions? well, i think that if you want the answer to what you've just asked, you find it there because there's been such an obsession with university education and there's been such a lack of emphasis on vocational skills . i said that vocational skills. i said that if you really want to spread wealth and opportunity in the country , you'd german country, you'd put a german style vocational college in some of the more left out, um, parts of the more left out, um, parts of the more left out, um, parts of the country. and i think overnight you'd actually see opportunities and skills rising across the country if you did that. across the country if you did tha what you think about this? >> what do you think about this? i mean, do you think i mean, are you impressed you've you impressed by what you've heard hunt today, or heard from jeremy hunt today, or do we actually to do you think we actually need to tackle in tackle getting people in work in this country and respecting some of those traditional working class jobs that we bring people

electoral gain. >> and remember , we've been here >> and remember, we've been here before . before. >> we've been here before . in >> we've been here before. in 2016, when the tories waged a disgraceful, disgraceful campaign against me and against us. we cannot let them try to do it again as the poison of anti semitism and the poison of islamophobia continue to infect our politics now more than ever , our politics now more than ever, we need to display our best values rather than our worst fears . fears. >> okay , right. so basically >> okay, right. so basically he's blaming the tories for the rhetoric they use for creating the hatred and division in answer to rishi sunak comments at that very dramatic moment on friday night, which was like, he's going to call a general election. no, it's not, um, okay. what do you what do you make what just heard make of what you've just heard sadiq there ? sadiq khan say there? >> well, i he has a point,

>> well, i think he has a point, but also needs to but i think he also needs to look mirror well. look in the mirror as well. if i'm completely honest, i'm being completely honest, i think times of think that at times the mayor of london has indulged in into draining tribal interests as opposed to genuinely cultivating social cohesion in the capital. so i think the thing with me, what can you give us an example of what you think he's done to? well, i think, for example, we in what i consider to be inclusive celebrations, for example, year's example, the new year's fireworks, i think there fireworks, i think that there have been overly politicised in my view, and i don't think that's i don't think that's right at all. i think it's irresponsible from mayor to irresponsible from the mayor to essentially very essentially promote very specific forms of political messaging when it comes to those inclusive celebrate scenes in the capital. i think the more generally dawn i was very disappointed by the response by mainstream politicians to the result in the rochdale by—election because i think that the labour party and the conservatives, the idea that there political activities are motivated and um, in the name of the wider common good in terms

of, you know, promoting national solidarity, that idea is for the birds . mhm, solidarity, that idea is for the birds. mhm, mhm . birds. mhm, mhm. >> and emma's frowning at me. emma, stop frowning at me . emma, stop frowning at me. sorry. what did you make of what our, um, um, they have to say. yeah. >> i mean i think sadiq khan does have a point and because he's been on the sharp end of the rhetoric recently, um, you can absolutely see why he's got the right to say that, um , i the right to say that, um, i think there are wider issues , think there are wider issues, too. and i would say that it is important to say in the same way that we said earlier in the programme, not all men. it's also not all tories. we all looked that so , you know, some looked that so, you know, some of the conservative party have come out and said we need definitely need to dampen down this rhetoric. this is not helpful . it's this rhetoric. this is not helpful. it's making this rhetoric. this is not helpful . it's making everything helpful. it's making everything worse. others see, um, some of the divisive rhetoric as and the culture war stuff as an important election gearing tool. um, i personally hope that they're wrong. i hope they're wrong for two reasons. first of

all, i want the tories to lose. and if that's how they decide, it's a fairly safe bet, to be honest with you. but also because i would like the tories to and learn . um, and because i would like the tories to and learn. um, and i to lose and learn. um, and i think if we would all do better, if tool does turn out to be if that tool does turn out to be blunt. >> okay , the problem i've got >> okay, the problem i've got with this is that the whole rhetoric, mean, sort like rhetoric, i mean, sort of like you basically rishi sunak you know, basically rishi sunak kind of said in that very dramatic friday night emergency intervention, emergency intervention, emergency intervention, saying nothing. >> it was bizarre what he said. >> it was bizarre what he said. >> a lot of words . >> a lot of words. >> a lot of words. >> yes. >> yes. >> again, mealy mouthed platitudes at the end. >> there wasn't actually he gave me i found . he gave me the me what i found. he gave me the problems which were all very aware of. >> extremists don't like liberal democracy. >> problem with his >> i mean, the problem with his speech that i have is who's going to make the opposite speech , like it wasn't a speech speech, like it wasn't a speech in which you had here's my side of the argument, and here's your side of the argument. was side of the argument. it was everyone him. everyone could agree with him. great yeah. but what? this great yeah. but then what? this was the problem. >> he gave me the problems he gave problems. mean,

gave us the problems. i mean, the really think the politicians really think we're don't they we're thick, don't they? they gave problems, but they gave us the problems, but they didn't the solutions ans ho. 110. >> no. >> and he's talking robust >> and he's talking about robust policing, example, it policing, for example, when it comes protests and comes to protests and demonstrations, we have the laws in place to tackle , for example, in place to tackle, for example, anti—semitic chanting , the anti—semitic chanting, the displaying of protest paraphernalia . that's if that's paraphernalia. that's if that's taking place at protest sites. the police have the powers to intervene . and at the end of the intervene. and at the end of the day , people talk sadiq day, people can talk about sadiq khanin day, people can talk about sadiq khan in terms of policing in london. actually, when london. but actually, when it comes there's model comes to met, there's a model of co—governance, comes to met, there's a model of co—goveithe ce, comes to met, there's a model of co—goveithe mayor london and between the mayor of london and the so maybe the the home secretary. so maybe the prime minister should have a strong his home strong word with his home secretary, james cleverly, if he's policing in london. >> yeah, and london. >> yeah, why did >> yeah, well. and why, why did it take the rochdale by—election for that dramatic friday night statement ? um, to for that dramatic friday night statement? um, to make for that dramatic friday night statement ? um, to make those statement? um, to make those statements when really you know, we've seen sort of like, you know , what is perceived to be know, what is perceived to be anti—semitic , you know, from the anti—semitic, you know, from the rivers of the sea beamed onto big ben. we've had mps scared extra protection for mps. we've had mps targeted at their homes,

their families threatened . why their families threatened. why did it take the rochdale by—election to make these statements ? statements? >> i mean, i think it was a culmination , an to be fair to culmination, an to be fair to rishi sunak , not something i say rishi sunak, not something i say very know, um, think very often. i know, um, i think the rochdale by—election was, was at the end of a period of things that have been going on, which includes all of the things that you mentioned , um, threats that you mentioned, um, threats from extremist acts in a number of different directions. we had, um , you know, mps have been um, you know, mps have been killed , including my friend joe. killed, including my friend joe. um, you know, these are very difficult, very, very divisive times. and i like, as i say, i couldn't disagree with anything that rishi sunak said , but that that rishi sunak said, but that sort of the problem that if what you're saying is we need to come together, great. what do we need together, great. what do we need to come together to do ? to come together to do? >> and this is that look, we all agree that the hatred that we're experienced now, the fact that we've imported that , the

we've imported that, the problems going on in gaza and israel to the streets of rochdale , quite basically , um, rochdale, quite basically, um, and we all hate this division and we all hate this division and extremism and we all want to, to work together to make this country great again and a better place to be. so why then, do rochdale elect someone the most divisive? i think we'd all agree. politician pretty much. we've seen in a long time in the shape of george galloway . he has shape of george galloway. he has the support of nick griffin from the support of nick griffin from the national front. yeah, yeah. >> but then the fact that the prime minister mentioned nick griffin, griffin prime minister mentioned nick grif most griffin prime minister mentioned nick grifmost publicity griffin prime minister mentioned nick grif most publicity he'siffin prime minister mentioned nick grif most publicity he's received the most publicity he's received in the last 15 years or so. so i thought was counterproductive. >> counterproductive. griffin? >> w- w“ >> yeah, i'd made the point though think some of the though about i think some of the commentary surrounding the rochdale by—election has been somewhat simplistic. now, what i mean by that is rochdale. the constituents, 30% are muslim. that means 7 in 10 constituents are not muslim. and the reality is that george galloway, he's not only he's not only able to be competitive in palestine, focussed muslim communities,

he's giving labour a headache, especially with white british working class voters who may be pro—brexit and protectionist as well. if you see some of the things that you talked about in his electoral messaging, he talked about the open air market being of the town. um, being the heart of the town. um, the long tum future of rochdale association club, association football club, talking about how local businesses are the lifeblood of local communities. so so. and then say, oh, but he's then people say, oh, but he's microtargeting tailoring microtargeting he's tailoring his different his messaging for different communities. listen, labour have been for a long time been doing that for a long time in my town of luton. can in my home town of luton. i can say much. in my home town of luton. i can say unfortunately, we're running >> unfortunately, we're running out time this. but do >> unfortunately, we're running out think?! this. but do >> unfortunately, we're running out think? comeiis. but do >> unfortunately, we're running out think? come on,3ut do >> unfortunately, we're running out think? come on, let's do >> unfortunately, we're running out think? come on, let's no do >> unfortunately, we're running out think? come on, let's no gb you think? come on, let's no gb views @gbnews. i mean, do you think khan a think that sadiq khan had a point , or do think that sadiq khan had a point, or do you think that rishi sunak really didn't have a point? let us know. um, i'm dawn neesom gb news sunday plenty more coming up on today's show. but first, here's the news with sam francis . sam francis. >> dawn, thank you very much . >> dawn, thank you very much. good afternoon. it's 233 and leading the news this afternoon .

2024 a battleground year. >> the year the nation decides as the parties gear up their

campaigns for the next general election, who will be left standing when the british people make one of the biggest decisions of their lives? >> who will rise and who will fall? >> let's find out together. >> let's find out together. >> for moment, the highs , >> for every moment, the highs, the lows, the twists and turns . the lows, the twists and turns. >> we'll be with you for every step of this journey. >> in 2024. gb news is britain's election . election. channel >> oh, we do love that advert right ? welcome back to gb news right? welcome back to gb news sunday with me. dawn neesom on your tv , online and on digital your tv, online and on digital radio. now let's talk sex, shall we? it's a sunday afternoon. it's safe . okay, you've got to it's safe. okay, you've got to send the kids out. uh new polls show a majority of scientists say that sex is binary . a survey say that sex is binary. a survey of almost 200 scientists at british british universities found 58% think sex is binary, i.e. just two of them, except in rare cases like intersex individuals . like that's like

individuals. like that's like the athlete, isn't it? but in the athlete, isn't it? but in the same survey, almost two thirds of the academics also thought gender was in fact fluid . now, raqib has been waiting for this debate with bated breath. all laughter. i can't tell you how excited he is to talk about this one. sandgrouse rikki neave raqib okay, right. sex is binary, i.e. there's only male and female , no biological male and female, no biological sex, but hey, gender is completely fluid . you can be completely fluid. you can be whatever you want when you want . whatever you want when you want. >> oh well, for me, i think this is i find, i find this topic so confusing in terms of some people's takes on it. um, for me , i just look at, yeah, i find it interesting that 58% for me in a survey of that nature that sounds quite low. and more than anything, this is a survey of scientists . yeah, 58. so that scientists. yeah, 58. so that means less than 3 in 5 believe that sex is binary among science. i find that quite disturbing . i think that almost disturbing. i think that almost shows the degree of radical transgenderism worming its way in among scientists. i mean, i suspect some of those scientists

are astrophysicists rather than biologists. >> but yeah, i mean, it does feel low . but go on. um, i mean, feel low. but go on. um, i mean, look, the thing is, stop there. sex is binary, right? most people accept that, um, there are rare individual sex biology. all sex is male or female x, y or x x chromosomes. gender is a social construct that is largely based on stereotypes around whether you are that we associate traditionally with male and female. there are basically three positions on all of this debate. there's the, uh pro—trans position, which is genderis pro—trans position, which is gender is real. and if you if you identify with the traits that we traditionally associate with, with, um, female and you have a male body, you are therefore a woman. um, there is the, um, position then of conservatives, which is gender is real. um, and only aligns with sex. and then there's the

radical feminist position to which i subscribe, which is that genderis which i subscribe, which is that gender is a social construct . gender is a social construct. um, and it forces women into very constrictive roles. so again , it comes back to, you again, it comes back to, you know, i was quite a tomboy. i liked to climb trees . um. me liked to climb trees. um. me too. i'm wearing dm boots , but too. i'm wearing dm boots, but also a pretty top that does make me look like oliver cromwell. i get it. uh very pretty. >> cromwell , it has to be >> oliver cromwell, it has to be said, but so, uh, so those are. >> and quite often those positions get conflated with each other. so women like me who say that gender is a social construct. so of course it's fluid because it can mean what you want it to mean . but it is you want it to mean. but it is not the same as sex and that it is important that when we come to making laws and having things like prisons or changing rooms, sex is what is primary. um get conflated with conservative, who would argue that , yes, um, sex would argue that, yes, um, sex is real, but also so is gender.

and we should go back to the kitchen. and those are not the same gender. >> those are gender norms though , aren't they? at the end of the day, i mean, i think the point that make me from my that i'd make for me from my personal i think personal perspective, i think that is an adult that a woman is an adult biological female and for me, a man is an adult biological male. and that in in that and i think that in in that sense, i think that the on the bafis sense, i think that the on the basis of that and this is what i do support emma's view that when it comes to sensitive of, um, spaces such as, um, female , uh, spaces such as, um, female, uh, domestic violence sanctuary , his domestic violence sanctuary, his rape crisis centres , um, when it rape crisis centres, um, when it comes to public toilets, changing rooms , the integrity of changing rooms, the integrity of those sensitive, um , sex based those sensitive, um, sex based spaces that needs to be protected, that needs absolutely , absolutely. >> but what i would also argue is when it comes to wearing a dress, who cares? who cares ? dress, who cares? who cares? let's stop saying that . uh, you let's stop saying that. uh, you know, there are male clothes and female clothes. let's stop saying there are male toys and female toys . let's stop saying

female toys. let's stop saying there are male jobs and female jobs. it really should jobs. so it's it really should be just in terms of where we need to protect the rights of vulnerable women for the rest of society . let it let it all society. let it let it all loose. i mean , i'm a huge rocky loose. i mean, i'm a huge rocky horror fan. uh, you know, i can hold both of those positions at once because i believe in broader knowing what is allowed for everybody and making sure that we also have protective safeguarding. >> i think. yeah, i mean, the worrying thing about this survey, by the way, is that 29% of academics are apparently unaware that biological sex is just a chromosomal thing. there are only two. that was the thing i found more worrying about it, and my other point on this one is we had that horrific murder this week, um, committed by a woman who then sent to woman who was then sent to a male prison. and it skews so many stats and so many statistics and it's just it's just i think the collection of those kind of statistics in itself is quite misogynistic in my view.
