a high price for enabling and covering what he called the catastrophe. galloway was the labour mp for 16 years until his suspension from the party in 2003. after remarks made at the start of the iraq war. nikki haley has defeated donald trump in the republican primary in washington dc . this is her first washington dc. this is her first victory of the former president in this year's campaign to become the republican presidential candidate. she lost in her home state of south carolina , but she's now the carolina, but she's now the first woman to win a republican primary in us history. the only remaining challenger to donald trump in the race, she won almost 63% of that vote. however mr trump has a significant lead over miss haley, and he's likely to face joe biden in the election in november. and pupils from low income backgrounds in england are still behind in their maths grades. compared with before the covid pandemic. a new think tank report has revealed . maths performance revealed. maths performance dropping back to 2017 levels for

defeat . by three score. defeat. by three score. >> labour seats . you mean 60 >> labour seats. you mean 60 seats, right? what a strange way to speak. well, he describes starmer and prime minister rishi sunak as two cheeks of the same backside , saying that he hopes backside, saying that he hopes they well and truly they would get well and truly spanked. i was telly on spanked. i was on telly on friday, andrew, when this broke you weren't. i've been dying to know what make of it. know what you make of it. >> i absolutely expected >> well, i absolutely expected him win. it's a huge kick in him to win. it's a huge kick in the face for labour in particular, because that is a labour seat. rochdale, they it's their own fault because they chose candidate who muttered chose a candidate who muttered and spluttered all those anti—semitic tropes . but anti—semitic tropes. but galloway is a fantastic campaigner, a brilliant public speaker , and he is going to speaker, and he is going to throw a massive spanner in the works for labour and he's going to cause huge problems in parliament. we've already seen it because i spoke to david davis the weekend often on davis at the weekend often on this programme, he was going to introduce galloway because you have two mps have to introduce a new mp, he said. i disagree with him, but i fundamentally support his right to hold his views.

however, he pulled out because his deputy, chris williamson, a former labour mp, made such appalling remarks about israel and refused to condemn hamas terrorist attack on israel that he's withdrawn. so already he's in controversy. >> surprised that david davis has withdrawn from that because david davis, above all other mps to me, appears to be an advocate of free speech, certainly is. so so this demonstrates george galloway is a massive thorn in the side, isn't he, of mps of every particular. >> yeah , labour in particular, >> yeah, labour in particular, because that's who he's aiming . because that's who he's aiming. >> he's gunning for because he's going to he's going to put candidates up where there's a large muslim vote. there was a large muslim vote. there was a large muslim vote. there was a large muslim rochdale . large muslim vote in rochdale. and that's how he won . he this and that's how he won. he this wasn't about rochdale. this was about gaza. when do we last have about gaza. when do we last have a by—election campaign, which is all about a place 2000 miles away, when he stood and said, away, when he stood up and said, this for gaza, i couldn't this is for gaza, i couldn't kind of i just couldn't really believe my ears and eyes. >> i grew up just around the

corner from rochdale. i spent a lot of my teen years in rochdale , and the idea that would , and the idea that that would happen an area which has happen in an area which has hideous social economic challenges places, challenges in some places, some of the most deprived parts of greater manchester there in greater manchester there are in rochdale , education is rochdale, education is struggling there. and the idea that a very organised, actually very organised, very angry muslim community got together. they grouped and they engineered this success. but it is democracy in action. what can you say? well, joining us now is political correspondent olivia utley. good morning olivia. so george galloway, not even saturday's bomb on those seats yet in the house and yet already causing ructions. what's going to happen ? to happen? >> well, george galloway is going to meet the speaker, lindsay hoyle, before he gets sworn in to the house of commons. and that'll be a very interesting meeting indeed. lindsay hoyle has told mps to be kinder and nicer to each other. he is deeply concerned about mps

safety and george galloway is essentially the embodiment of the division which speaker hoyle has been so keen to try and end in the house of commons. so that'll be a fascinating meeting. and then we have the actual swearing in of george galloway, as you mentioned there, david davis was going to introduce him sort of free introduce him on a sort of free speech basis. he's now refused because of galloway's views on gaza. so he will now be introduced by peter bottomley, who is the father of the house and his old comrade jeremy corbyn. so that's a start . off corbyn. so that's a start. off with a bang, if you like . now, with a bang, if you like. now, the future of george galloway and the people around him is what's really interesting to people at the moment. george galloway, we heard in that clip there is going to be standing 59 different candidates for the workers party of great britain. and he says he's planning to defeat labour in these 60 seats. well, will that be possible? of course. as you mentioned there, you know, we have george

galloway. election has proved that there is a constituency of people in the uk that who tend to be of the muslim faith , who to be of the muslim faith, who are prepared to vote in an mp for reasons which aren't anything to do with what's going on in britain, because george galloway was campaigning as the mp for gaza. and of course, there are other constituency as well as rochdale, which have huge muslim populations. but whether george galloway's party stands any chance of repeating the success anywhere else remains to be seen . as you said, remains to be seen. as you said, that andrew george galloway is a fantastic campaigner . we, like fantastic campaigner. we, like him or loathe him , he's him or loathe him, he's a charismatic person , banality and charismatic person, banality and of course the rochdale by—election was very, very unusual. labour's campaign imploded entirely. so i don't think it's possible to sort of extrapolate this result into the general election. but it's certainly something that mps will be keeping an eye on. >> okay, fascinating , isn't it? >> okay, fascinating, isn't it? sarah vine i've known george galloway for years and i'm sure

your cars must have crossed. he's quite formidable, actually. >> he is. very charming. he >> he is. he's very charming. he really does have the gift of the gab. he's amazing. he's a brilliant, brilliant speaker. >> match him , >> there are few to match him, actually, when he's in full flow, really is. i mean, do flow, he really is. i mean, do you remember he. you remember when he. >> clever? he's really clever. >> when he called before >> when he was called before those american congressmen and he the tables he absolutely turned the tables on about, um, sanctions on them about, um, sanctions busting. he was. and they were dumbfounded his performance. dumbfounded by his performance. he's to really turn he's going to really turn parliament upside down, isn't he ? >> 7- >> yes. i 7_ >> yes. i mean, ? >> yes. i mean, he's and he is the sort of he's the labour party's reform problem. you know, he's he's the other side of that coin in the tories have got reform and the labour party now have george galloway. i'd say he's quite a formidable say that he's quite a formidable opponent actually. yes he is just charming. he really is charming. >> that's what he is. it's >> that's what he is. and it's interesting because olivia talked meeting the talked about him meeting the speaken speaker. the speaker has appealed to be nice appealed for mps to be nice to each other, on friday, each other, he said on friday, i hate the prime minister. i mean, that's his voice even got in the i hate minister. i hate the prime minister. i know he's and we pretty much hate keir too.

hate pretty keir starmer, too. >> mean, the thing is about >> i mean, the thing is about that, galloway, that he's an that, galloway, is that he's an opportunist he knows what opportunist and he knows what plays to his constituency. and you playing card you know, he's playing his card very well. >> so this history. is >> so this is history. this is the first since winston the first mp since winston churchill entering the churchill to be entering the commons in a fourth constituency. see. yeah. because he's he's he's been around the block quite a few times. >> but i think i do think >> but i do think i do think it's interesting that, you know, he effectively mp for he is effectively the mp for gaza. is. yeah i think it's gaza. he is. yeah i think it's interesting that something that's earlier that's as you said earlier andrew, that's something that's happening has had happening so far away has had such a such a direct consequence on in british, on british politics. >> is it also does he represent a little bit even though he is standing on this side, the idea of calling for an unequivocal ceasefire in gaza? is there also something about him being anti—establishment which appeals to people who may not necessarily feel very strongly? >> i mean, a lot of people frame the sort of frame the israel palestine thing as a david and goliath war. yeah. um, of course it's much more complicated than that. let's not forget that

that. but let's not forget that galloway, you know, has openly supported know , supported hezbollah. you know, he's he's he's got a quite he's he's he's he's got a quite a if you, if you actually look at what he said in the past, he's, he's, he's been a great supporter of russia. he's he's definitely i wouldn't say he's on the side of the angels generally because he prays saddam hussein. generally because he prays sac hen hussein. generally because he prays sac he alwayszin. generally because he prays sac he always he was >> he always he was misrepresented we him misrepresented. but we saw him say saddam hussein , his say to saddam hussein, to his face, salute your interfax face, i salute your interfax ability your courage. ability and your courage. >> so i mean, people >> exactly. so i mean, people just need to be aware that however charming he is, and he is definitely charming, there, there a dark there is a quite a dark underbelly there. >> think triggereda underbelly there. >> think triggered a speech >> i think he triggered a speech from prime minister, from the prime minister, which some thought, general some people thought, oh, general election, podium was election, because the podium was put the government put outside with the government crest on it. people thought general i didn't think general election. i didn't think for a general election, no, i didn't, i completely mad. um, but i thought but he delivered what i thought was his better speeches. was one of his better speeches. >> to say, i thought it >> i have to say, i thought it was a really, really good speech.i was a really, really good speech. i read it, i read it quite a few times. yeah. and he's not world's. mean, he's not the world's. i mean, rishi the world's rishi sunak is not the world's greatest orator, i'm afraid. but that was a very sound and i thought very measured, but very

firm know, was it firm speech, you know, it was it was the first real sign of kind of a vision and a leadership that i've seen in him, you know, and i think that's what people are crying out for. i think people have a general sense of, oh, everything disaster oh, everything is disaster at the there's such lot the moment. there's such a lot of everyone's shouting of malaise. everyone's shouting at arguing . there's at each other, arguing. there's all of awful things all sorts of awful things happening, you know, whether it's ukraine or janjaweed or, you know , gaza. and i think what you know, gaza. and i think what you know, gaza. and i think what you when, when the world feels so unstable, what you want is somebody who can come out and sort of crystallise a vision and say, these are the parameters, these are our boundaries. this is we stand for. these are is what we stand for. these are our that's what i our values. and that's what i felt. really did. and i think felt. he really did. and i think if he does more of that than it's what people want. but why would he why would he choose the day of galloway's election to come give speech? come out and give that speech? because think what i think because i think what i think that he felt and i think a lot of people feel that it is alarming that a situation so far from home that is not, you know , from home that is not, you know, our, our, our situation has, has

affected british politics in such a way . and i think he also such a way. and i think he also looks at galloway's record and says, this is a man who has supported, you know , dictators supported, you know, dictators and not very nice people in the past . and here he is being past. and here he is being ushered in on, uh, on what is essentially a really tribal vote. you know, it's not like you know, like we were saying, like your political correspondent was saying this wasn't a this wasn't a by—election about local issues, about schools, about health care or it simply a or anything. it was simply a binary , you know, and yet he binary, you know, and yet he then packaged the far right. >> he said, with islamic extremists , it's all extremists. extremists, it's all extremists. but why ? why when he came, why but why? why when he came, why did he package people from all different levels of political? it felt a little bit mealy mouthed that to me. >> well , because he doesn't >> well, because he doesn't i mean, he has to. he has to be very careful not to sort of fuel these accusations against the tory party being tory party of it being islamophobic. so of course, if you're a speech you're writing a speech like that, have

that, you have to have a counterbalance. so you have to remind that it's not remind people that it's not just extremism . extremism doesn't extremism. extremism doesn't just exist on the left. and it's not just religious based. it can also be, as you say, far right. it can be different type of it can be a different type of thing. i think that just thing. so i think that was just him. know, making sure that thing. so i think that was just hinwasn't> mm mm. right. we're going to take a quick break sarah. >> don't anywhere. i want to >> don't go anywhere. i want to hear views well on these hear your views as well on these huge of unsolved huge amounts of unsolved burglaries england. be burglaries in england. we'll be talking just a

>> they, they they certainly they chose the wrong candidate and had to and had to get rid of him. to say this is the him. but to say this is the tectonic plates shifting is completely mad. so labour didn't have a candidate, so he didn't beat anybody. the conservative candidate went on holiday during the election . that's how the election. that's how seriously you lot took it. and then where were the lib dems? i mean, seriously, the lib dems could have had it that this rochdale is a blip. it's incredible. and let's not pretend that lots of muslims , pretend that lots of muslims, those who believe in you making that mistake though of complacency. >> there because maybe he's on to something . maybe this is to something. maybe this is going to happen all over the country. look, wes streeting, he's one of your most talented labour frontbenchers. he's got a muslim candidate standing against north. against him in ilford north. he's of 5000, 27% he's got a majority of 5000, 27% of the constituency is muslim . of the constituency is muslim. they're very unhappy. labour has taken that vote for granted. >> now there are people who there certainly are muslims who feel like that, but actually they don't support george galloway. i mean , that's the

galloway. i mean, that's the difference, right ? it they did difference, right? it they did in rochdale because there was very little choice. right. what. but the let's not pretend that the workers party of great britain supports muslims. i mean the workers party of great britain and george galloway have been all over the political shop. right. and i mean, the people we should feel sorry for are the people of rochdale , are the people of rochdale, because george galloway certainly has no interest in, in supporting them as we've seen in the other in the other constituencies that he got, he got thrown out of each one immediately as soon as there was an election, because he doesn't do anything for it. i mean , i do anything for it. i mean, i think, george, i think frankly, the media is making too much of george galloway. he is he is a self—publicising narcissist. >> but they didn't vote for the british workers party of britain or whatever it's called . they or whatever it's called. they voted for a an unequivocal ceasefire in gaza. and there are enough people in this country

who feel sufficiently angry about that, that they will place their votes purely on that one issue.i their votes purely on that one issue. i think it's also worth reminding ourselves that the second place in labour, sorry, in rochdale, was was not labour or conservative. it was an independent candidate , david independent candidate, david scully, a local businessman scully, he's a local businessman who stood, mean, what this who stood, i mean, what this vote says, and i do think both parties actually labour and conservatives, are risking complacency is to understand how dissatisfied the general public are with this idea of the uni party, that there's no distinction to use george galloway's phrase, two cheeks of the same backside . the same backside. >> can we make it clear there was no labour candidate in rochdale, so labour didn't. laboun rochdale, so labour didn't. labour. labour lost rochdale by choosing the wrong candidate, completely screwing up there. >> there was, as a rally . well, >> there was, as a rally. well, the whole point, isn't it, that there was a labour candidate . he there was a labour candidate. he was. he accused benjamin netanyahu stepping his netanyahu of stepping down his security the idf, and security forces in the idf, and therefore that led to the invasion. >> there wasn't he so, so >> but so there wasn't he so, so he was disowned by labour. so let's pretend was let's not pretend that there was a candidate. and yes , i

a labour candidate. and yes, i think we have to take dissatisfaction in the country very, very seriously. i don't think it's just among muslims, frankly, i think there is dissatisfaction that's right with the two main with the with the two main parties is because of what they're feeling is what have we got to what have we got to offer. yeah. and in times like that, i mean, let's talk about paul tully. i mean then an independent, an independence. have have won before because they actually talk about what, what is happening on the ground and that's what's important is , and that's what's important is, is, is the thing about george galloway is he will only talk about gaza. >> he, he did tick the boxes though, didn't he? he did talk about the threat to the local maternity unit, the local, the end. >> he didn't really i mean, i think he got 40% of the vote. >> that is a pretty extraordinary 40. >> he got 12,000 votes, 5% of the votes cast , but the vote was 40. >> people came out and voted and he got 40% of the 40. >> let's, let's i mean, what worries me about the upcoming

election is the number of people who aren't going to vote. and i think, i mean, in the general election and that is what really, really worries me. and that's and that's what well, it's not actually it's not apathy. it's i, there's nobody to vote for. and why why has your man start to when you consider the tories been in power for 14 years, why hasn't he through? he cut through? >> that's what you're >> because that's what you're saying. if there are, if you're saying. if there are, if you're saying people are dissatisfied with parties, it's with both main parties, it's down the leader make down to the leader to make people if we're people feel, well, if we're talking about blair in 97, after 13 years, 18 years, people will long for him . there was a long for him. there was a passion for blair out there . passion for blair out there. >> for you know, >> well, not for you know, i mean, i mean, you were you were you mean, i mean, you were you were you were mean, i mean, you were you were you were you mean, i mean, you were you were you were you were mean, i mean, you were you were you were you were there dissing him the accusing him you were you were there dissing hirlying the accusing him you were you were there dissing hirlying right accusing him you were you were there dissing hirlying right to. accusing him you were you were there dissing hirlying right to. but using him you were you were there dissing hirlying right to. but butig him you were you were there dissing hirlying right to. but but no, m of lying right to. but but no, i mean, i mean, actually , why mean, i mean, actually, why hasn't he done it? he's 20% aheadin hasn't he done it? he's 20% ahead in the polls. i mean, what more can you do, right? he has got people who want to vote for him. he has got a lot of people who i mean, as i said over and over again, labour didn't stand

in rochdale. so we really, really can't do it. and they would only have won if they stood on the ticket of an unequivocal ceasefire in gaza . unequivocal ceasefire in gaza. no, we don't know that labour has overturning mass has been overturning mass massive conservative majority in by elections. right. we have no idea what would have happened had , you know, we had the right had, you know, we had the right guy in gaza in in rochdale, i think. right. who didn't? i think. right. who didn't? i think galloway would still have won. >> well you do well, yes. >> well you do well, yes. >> but you don't know. you don't. you have no idea because. because they've been and you know where where was the tory? why did he go on holiday? >> toys were never going to win in rochdale. >> rac. >> rac. >> don't you don't go on holiday. >> but you offer it. >> but but you offer it. >> but but you offer it. >> you do try and offer an alternative. i mean, that's what we're so terrible. was that neither the tories neither labour nor the tories offered an alternative to george galloway. >> there is this great disenchant with the main political parties. i think on both sides people feel disembody and disenchanted. they feel disconnected. they don't know who to vote for . that's why

who to vote for. that's why reform is stepping into the vacuum you argue, and vacuum. you could argue, and i look reform . look at reform. >> i mean, maybe, maybe you don't put up somebody who's been thrown out of the labour party for sixteen a 17 year old. quite right. i mean, you know, one doesn't was one does absolutely see that that's who the candidate does. and one does wonder whether reform will just have as, as as we talk. >> we've got ben habib in the studio in this former labour mps all on the ballot paper i know has there ever been a situation like that before, two of which were thrown the party, were thrown out of the party, and the third has been suspended while he he's i mean, while he while he's i mean, of course should thrown out course he should be thrown out shouldn't what said. shouldn't he, for what he said. >> well, they've got to you have to have a fair process, andrew. you don't just have andrew saying should. saying he should. >> wasn't just vile anti >> it wasn't just vile anti conspiracy it was conspiracy theories. it was horrible anti—semitism. >> can we ask you about labour's plans. we're going to hear them this morning scarlet this morning announced scarlet dunng this morning announced scarlet during the show about what to do about neets, is about these neets, which is people are not in people who are not in employment, education or

training. a record number of 16 to 24 year olds, just sat at home basically flicking through their phones well. their phones as well. >> 861,000 doubly depressed. i mean, it is a really, really depressing statistic. i mean, i really do believe that work is good for the soul, right? and i mean , and it's very easy, you mean, and it's very easy, you know, when all of us are just are doing this for work. but actually, i mean, i've seen it over and over again and with my children is how i mean, i mean, my daughter worked in pubs , but my daughter worked in pubs, but trying to find other jobs because actually she didn't want to sit at home. so i think that that, uh, i think it's really important that we take these young people who must be pretty disillusioned, who did badly at school. so for them, the education system has failed them , and that we actually try and look at what what at what what is their potential , how they can is their potential, how they can retrain in, in things. i think it's really , really important

it's really, really important because actually they they don't want to be living on benefits. and it's a lockdown hangover . and it's a lockdown hangover. >> this is that generation who didn't get to sit their gcses , didn't get to sit their gcses, maybe didn't get to sit their a—levels . some of them went to a—levels. some of them went to university and spent two years at university, sat at zoom in their parents house doing everything they have done everything they should have done for i my next door >> i mean, my next door neighbour was one of them. horrible miserable situation for this generation. >> i'm glad that i'm glad that somebody is talking about how to help them. >> yeah, i mean, and it is it is about saying, you know, actually that there is a second we do believe in second chances and okay, you screwed up your gcses. i mean, most of these people are not actually have been to university. most of these are kids who blew their gcses for one reason or another, who couldn't do english. you couldn't do english. you couldn't do english. you couldn't do maths and actually we have to give them a second chance because. because because they they need that . but we need they they need that. but we need them. i mean, we, we britain

point . it just turns point scoring. it just turns people off. pathetic >> if you think you're going to win the next election, own it. act like have . tell us act like you have. tell us exactly you're going do. exactly what you're going to do. don't criticising don't stand there criticising the conservative government. you don't need to that . people don't need to do that. people are up their own are already making up their own minds. us what the minds. tell us what the alternative is, right? well, she minds. tell us what the altern'haveis, right? well, she minds. tell us what the altern'have lostght? well, she minds. tell us what the altern'have lost the well, she minds. tell us what the altern'have lost the room, she minds. tell us what the altern'have lost the room, but might have lost the room, but have the tories lost the countryside recently, rishi sunak national sunak addressed the national farmers he farmers union conference and he told have your back while told them i have your back while sharing stories of how he once milked a cow . sharing stories of how he once milked a cow. but now farmers are saying that that hasn't made up for the years unpopular up for the years of unpopular post—brexit trade and post—brexit trade deals and a bungled transition from eu farming payments . farming payments. >> so joining us now is windsor and maidenhead farmer and landowner rayner. colin landowner colin rayner. colin morning have the tories morning to you have the tories traditionally are seen as the custodians of the countryside. they get the rural vote. have they lost it this time? um i think they just made them the, the members of the countryside very, very unhappy me and i'm a true long life conservative

voter and we are now looking over the border in wales and see what the labour party have done to the welsh farmers and countryside. >> actually called them right wing fascists. i believe one of them did, but my view is that them did, but my view is that the concern voters have upset the concern voters have upset the countryside have upset the farmers. they need to do some hard work to win back their votes. but my fear is that the conservative members, farmers in the countryside will vote just won't vote. so there's a lot of work to do. what have they? >> uh, colin, explain why. why they've lost. you've lost faith in them. what have they done to the countryside, in your view? was was mistaken . was was mistaken. >> well, they've just made error after error. they've upset us all about the, um, how they've deau all about the, um, how they've dealt with brexit, the trade deals, the mountain, mountain paperwork that we get each year. they give us more legislation.

they give us more legislation. they just make it very, very hard for to us farm and to work. we've got this net zero. we are criticised every day for polluting the countryside and being horrible. after the farmers never built heathrow airport or london, but we are blamed for all the pollution, all the time, and we're just fed up with being. we've been attacked by this government and every political party we're now being told we must go wild flowers instead of food. it just frightens me. colin, where do you think? >> where do you think politicians think the food is going to come from, when all the farmers have closed down? because inevitably where because that is inevitably where this end. and we've just this will end. and we've just seen of the campaign. seen some clips of the campaign. no farmers, no food. a politician's not thinking with their imagination . their imagination. >> the biggest problem this is happening throughout europe every farm, farming country in europe are on protesting. they all going down this net zero, accusing us of polluting the

rochdale and what rishi sunak should have come out and said after was, we've made after that was, look, we've made after that was, look, we've made a this country. we've a mistake in this country. we've got too many immigrants coming in too many diverse in from too many diverse backgrounds . multiculturalism backgrounds. multiculturalism isn't . we need to get isn't working. we need to get rid of diversity, equality and inclusion, which is the policy that promotes minority ethnicities minority ethnicities and minority religions over and above and to the detriment, in my view, of the detriment, in my view, of the majority. dei has got to go . the majority. dei has got to go. everyone in this country is equal and he could give effect to that policy agenda overnight. he could stop issuing visas for people coming to this country. he could repeal the equalities act, which is anything but equal act, which is anything but equal. he could make it illegal to recruit people on the basis of the colour of their skin. all of the colour of their skin. all of this could be done overnight and you would neuter the ability to get someone like , um galloway to get someone like, um galloway elected in rochdale. but instead of doing that, they take a ridiculous stance of not swearing him in. he is a democratically elected member of

worth of expenditure as a country, because if he wanted to leave a few months early. yeah um, and then before that, obviously nadine dorries seat was a was a complex and difficult by—election, as indeed was tamworth by elections take place because something odd has happened. rochdale wasn't one of those, but rochdale does being bnng those, but rochdale does being bring into stark relief . the ten bring into stark relief. the ten thing at the social fabric that we are experiencing as a country and if we don't get ahead of this problem, we are facing. i've written an article actually for gb news. i don't know if it's going to be published soon. um, but i think we're facing the extinguishing of the united kingdom as we know what do kingdom as we know it. what do you well, you mean by that? well, economically , we've got national you mean by that? well, econiand ally , we've got national you mean by that? well, econiand taxation've got national you mean by that? well, econiand taxation at got national you mean by that? well, econiand taxation at aot national you mean by that? well, econiand taxation at a hightional you mean by that? well, econiand taxation at a high gdpl debt and taxation at a high gdp is now shrinking . debt and taxation at a high gdp is now shrinking. gdp debt and taxation at a high gdp is now shrinking . gdp per capita is now shrinking. gdp per capita is now shrinking. gdp per capita is going down even faster because of immigration. a rampant unskilled immigration, you know , taking an unskilled you know, taking an unskilled labour from abroad is undercutting the united kingdom , undercutting the united kingdom, um, as ability to get people

into work. we've got 6 million people on on surviving on universal credit to a greater or lesser extent. so we've got a complete busted economy. and then on top of that, we've got all the tearing at the social fabnc all the tearing at the social fabric that has come through. in my view, this ill conceived, um, die policy, diversity, equality and inclusion. the promotion of minorities to the detriment of the majority in this country. how can that be? right? we've got the armed forces recruiting people on the basis of the colour their skin, rather colour of their skin, rather than on whether they can fly a jet properly or fire a shell out of a tank properly. you know, we want the best doing the best that they're at for this country . so the country can do its best so we can prosper. so we can prosper. >> so we can prosper. >> worth pointing out that you say that the son a say that as the son of a pakistani origin family, am i correct your. well, my dad's a pakistani muslim. >> mother is a white >> my mother is a white christian english born and bred and i'm proud of my pakistani heritage. i'm very proud of my pakistani heritage, but i'm british and we have to look

after the united kingdom and first and foremost in that is obviously a healthy and prosperous economy , but prosperous economy, but fundamental to it is having borders that work. we haven't got borders that work at any level. >> if rishi sunak had come out and done the sort of speech you were talking about, then to criticise mass immigration, how would the media have handled that, though? >> we what happened >> because we saw what happened when that when suella braverman said that she thought that multiculturalism hadn't worked. what pages of all what were the front pages of all the cast as well? the papers cast him as well? >> i think the daily mail would have been rather pleased because we've high. have been rather pleased because we'well, high. have been rather pleased because we'well, let high. have been rather pleased because we'well, let me high. have been rather pleased because we'well, let me tell high. have been rather pleased because we'well, let me tell you,|. >> well, let me tell you, sustainable levels of immigration. >> time, everyone immigration. >> reportime, everyone immigration. >> report it e, everyone immigration. >> report it like feryone immigration. >> report it like that. |e wouldn't report it like that. >> gb news might report it like that, i don't think you'd that, but i don't think you'd find any channel, do find any other channel, do anything their anything other than clutch their pearls anything other than clutch their peai.s i've given up looking >> i mean, i've given up looking at what mainstream say, at what mainstream media say, but the reason labour party won tamworth mid—bedfordshire kingswood wellingborough is because the tory vote is staying at home. the centre right small c vote , the people who believe c vote, the people who believe in the united kingdom, who are

proud of the union flag, who want this country to operate as a settled social construct, as a prosperous social construct. that vote is staying at home. if rishi sunak made that speech, if he enacted the policies which would take five seconds for him to enact, there would be a chance of a thumping majority at the next election. it's not for me to advise rishi sunak. i'm deputy leader of reform uk, but i tell you he wouldn't i can tell you he wouldn't have lost by elections and the lost those by elections and the country be better country would be in much better shape. we'd be on a much better trajectory. say, trajectory. and can i also say, as someone who is half pakistani, pakistani pakistani, half pakistani people, pakistani extract people, pakistani extract people, people from india who are now british citizens don't want to be that they need want to be told that they need a special leg up society , that special leg up in society, that they diversity, equality they need diversity, equality and inclusion policies to be promoted that incredibly promoted. that is incredibly patronising and critical of ethnic minorities. people who come to this country want to succeed on their own merit. meritocracy should be at the heart of everything . all other heart of everything. all other policies which which seek equal

outcome times rather than equal opportunities should be binned. >> let me ask you, because lee anderson , who's been suspended anderson, who's been suspended from the tory party because what he said about islamism and the mayor of london, but he would agree with lot you agree with a lot of what you said. is he going to be said. yeah. is he going to be recruited by reform uk? >> well i can't, i mean it's an open secret, it's an open secret. so i can say discussions have taken place . yeah. you have taken place. yeah. you know, they met famously i think he should reform. he should join reform. >> written in the >> well i've written in the daily mail today that you're not exactly fan his. exactly a fan of his. >> i'm circumspect of >> well, i'm very circumspect of taking on, if i may say so, any tory mps, because it is a tory mps collective who've delivered the to the position it's the country to the position it's at. i love what suella says. i love what pretty, says jacob rees—mogg couldn't say anything wrong . but when they get into wrong. but when they get into office they don't do as they say and so any tory mp wishing to join reform uk great, obviously great. you know , we'll have great. you know, we'll have a chat but we would need to be

very confident that they are solid people of integrity who actually believe what they say and will deliver for the country, that it's not just a mechanism of avoiding being obliterated at the next election, which is where i think the conservative party is going. and the issue for a new party like reform uk is gazing, gaining prominence and awareness in the minds of the public who may not know who you are. >> they may know who you >> they may not know who you represent. they see represent. and when they see that lee anderson is one of your mps, go, that's mps, they might go, oh, that's the the anti—islam guy . the guy, the anti—islam guy. that's that party are . so that's what that party are. so he would with a pr risk , he would come with a pr risk, wouldn't he? >> i mean, one of things i'm >> i mean, one of the things i'm not i come back to not changing, i come back to that. the things that that. but one of the things that brexit so right or brexit party got so right was or got correct rather, was that it wasn't. no one could pin it as being a right wing, swivel eyed anti—image arrant xenophobic fringe , um, racist party because fringe, um, racist party because we actually were from multiple ethnic backgrounds . we came from ethnic backgrounds. we came from all different walks of life, and we were a fantastic force with

which to be reckoned. and we won that thumping , uh, you know, that thumping, uh, you know, majority in the european elections in 2019. and reform uk should, in my view , emulate that should, in my view, emulate that model. you know , we speak for model. you know, we speak for everyone in the united kingdom. we speak for the british people, we speak for the united kingdom itself . and we make policies itself. and we make policies unashamedly for the national interest. that's what we are. and i think anything that detracts from that is a risk. okay >> thank you ben. always good to see you ben habib there, deputy leader of reform uk. well labour's liz kendall she still talking. she is . well you know talking. she is. well you know we said she was setting out her plans to help young people get back into work. targeting back into work. she's targeting the 16 to 24 year olds not in education employment. education or employment. there she now having a chat she is. she's now having a chat to somebody. we will try and surmise that she's surmise what it is that she's promising generation . promising for that generation. >> a career service, apparently. >> apparently, maybe with >> apparently, yeah, maybe with britain's newsroom on

they put under they they're being put under pressure . and it's kind of pressure. and it's a kind of emotional blackmail on them. pressure. and it's a kind of emyi'm1al blackmail on them. pressure. and it's a kind of emyi'm surprised 1ail on them. pressure. and it's a kind of emyi'm surprised theyyn them. pressure. and it's a kind of emyi'm surprised they agreen. pressure. and it's a kind of emyi'm surprised they agree to >> i'm surprised they agree to allow the boy to play in the first place. fiona. they could have just said very politely, this is girls and it's this is a girls team and it's only to be played with only going to be played by with girls. that girls. well i think that illustrates the pressure that girls can be put under. >> andrew, you know , this has >> andrew, you know, this has come to light now because this boy wants to play competitively with all these other teams in the league . um, but presumably the league. um, but presumably there's already a set girls there's already a set of girls who either they're really felt or felt they had no choice but to say it was okay. >> so , so, so sorry to interrupt >> so, so, so sorry to interrupt you so this this child is practising with the girls, is that right? >> is doing the training with them, but they don't want him to play them, but they don't want him to play competitively in the matches. >> well, i don't know the full details, what is the details, but what i know is the justification that was given to the other teams in the league was that he had already been playing girls for a while playing with girls for a while right me, that's right now. to me, that's completely irrelevant , right? completely irrelevant, right? and they had have and the fact they had to have a special ask only

special meeting to ask only proves that it's inappropriate. yeah because they don't have to have meetings for anyone else. yeah because they don't have to haerah,etings for anyone else. yeah because they don't have to haerah,eti|would anyone else. yeah because they don't have to haerah,eti|would be yone else. yeah because they don't have to haerah,eti|would be outrageous >> yeah, it would be outrageous if they're suspended . if they're suspended. >> yes, it would be outrageous. >> yes, it would be outrageous. >> but i think show the, >> but i think it does show the, the, the sort of contradiction that arises when you start to break down some simple rules. you know, the faa already allow, uh, men who say they're women if they claim a trans identity, they're already allowed into women's leagues. and we know the problems that that has caused and to cause . this and continues to cause. this boy, i don't believe, is claiming a trans identity, but it's no different than i would be furious . be furious. >> thank you. fiona, we've got to move on. i'd be furious if basically that would take basically that boy would take a place the girls team and it's place in the girls team and it's hard girls to hard enough to get girls to stick when they stick with sport when they become anyway become young women anyway as it is. after threatening west is. so after threatening west riding league with riding girls league with suspension, have released suspension, the fa have released this statement. west riding fa is with the relevant is working with the relevant league on league and associated clubs on this matter, and we will continue to support them that continue to support them so that an solution an appropriate solution can be found all. found for all. >> want to ensure everybody

it and expense because you're not things you need i >> -- >> so dean , they're just telling >> so dean, they're just telling the benefits of going to your local butcher and supporting the local butcher and supporting the local economy. i asked him as well with the chancellor's spnng well with the chancellor's spring budget coming up on wednesday what he wants to see, and he said he wants to see more support for local businesses, local butchers like himself, to keep high streets thriving . hugh keep high streets thriving. hugh anna, anna reilly there. >> honestly, i went to the britwell salome farm shop on saturday and that point that the butcher made, then you don't have to go in and buy a load of bacon if you just want a few rashers. yeah, actually you rashers. yeah, so actually you end less food away. end up throwing less food away. so even though it might be more expensive know where it's come because you know where it's come from and it's healthy and it's well reared, you probably don't waste well reared, you probably don't wasthey might cut your the joint >> they might cut your the joint you and they and they you want and they and also they tell to cook it for. >> yeah i got some lovely sausages , i got some bacon. sausages, i got some bacon. >> and you know what? i've a >> and you know what? i've got a renewed appreciation for this might you. black
