expenditure by at least £1 billion and that would be great. >> back again in 2010, 2016, we had under , i think, around had under, i think, around 400,000 civil servants, and that saved a significant amount, amount of money, the spending, the costs alone. i think , came the costs alone. i think, came down to something like £11 billion. this is where we have to be again to be an agile government that's fit in the sense of financially sound , sense of financially sound, sound money, conservative principles , but actually making principles, but actually making sure the public keep more of their their money newly elected rochdale mp george galloway has been sworn into parliament by almighty god that i will be faithful and bear true allegiance to his majesty king charles, his heirs and successors according to law . successors according to law. >> so help me god . >> so help me god. >> so help me god. >> the workers party of britain leader pledged allegiance to the king as part of the ceremony. he was accompanied by alba party mp neale hanvey and conservative mp sir peter bottomley, the father of the house. mr galloway, one last week's by—election by more

it follows a speech by rishi sunak last week, prompted by a surge in anti—semitism since the hamas terror attacks on israel on october the 7th, and by george galloway's shock victory in the rochdale by—election and as george galloway was sworn in just as an mp just a few moments ago . ago. >> i swear by almighty god that i will be faithful and bear true allegiance to his majesty king charles, his heirs and successors. according to law. so help me god . help me god. >> so they go. he wasn't wearing his hat. that's the first surprise, but some reaction to that. let's speak now to gb news senior political commentator nigel nelson. nigel, nine years on and galloway is back. the big question. well, two big questions. first of all, is this a dark day for democracy or actually, is this just democracy ? i mean, the guy was voted in.

>> um, i think it's the latter, martin. it is just democracy . martin. it is just democracy. >> he i mean, you may not like like the result of it. >> certainly. rishi sunak doesn't keir starmer won't either . um, doesn't keir starmer won't either. um, but yes, i mean, george galloway got 12,000 votes. yes. uh it was almost double the, the runner up. so, yes, this is this is the way that british democracy works. what was significant about it, about his introduction today, was that already sparked controversy? we rather expected to see him with, uh, jeremy corbyn on one side and tory mp david davis on the other. david davis pulled out, uh , because he davis pulled out, uh, because he didn't like what george galloway and his party stands for. didn't like what george galloway and his party stands for . so it and his party stands for. so it was left to the father of the house to, uh, peter bottomley to actually stand on one side. and the album happy neil, neil henry on the other , and nigel, um, you on the other, and nigel, um, you mentioned jeremy corbyn there

and there's a lot of talk, you know, galloway has been very, very open about the fact that he's been making overtures to the rump of the hard left to corbyn, to diane abbott, via his workers party , chris williamson, workers party, chris williamson, his deputy, has been reaching out. >> that was before galloway was elected. so the big question is, could there be a critical mass , could there be a critical mass, a regathering of corbyn, of abbot of galloway, into a new movement ? and that's abbot of galloway, into a new movement? and that's a abbot of galloway, into a new movement ? and that's a movement movement? and that's a movement that would attract still a substantial number of votes , substantial number of votes, particularly when we extrapolate on top those 20 target seats where there's a high proportion of muslim votes. could we see the left coming back together around galloway? um i really don't think so. >> i think that george galloway's election election is a bit of a one off. um, i don't think rishi sunak has helped matters by getting spooked by the election and then rushing out to the, uh, doorstep of downing street on friday for a rather, we cheered speech on the

back of it . so, no, i don't back of it. so, no, i don't think that i think these things. i mean, this is the fourth time george galloway has been an mp. um, he does generate a lot of noise, but i don't think that there's an awful lot of light at there's an awful lot of light at the end of it. so my guess is that we're going to hear a lot from george galloway in the lead up to the election, but really, as as the significance goes , as far as the significance goes, it is going to be fairly minor. >> well, you that, but when >> well, you say that, but when galloway was kicked out of the labour was old labour party, it was his old mate corbyn, that mate jeremy corbyn, that was lobbying put back lobbying to have him put back in. and they share a lot of political beliefs. they certainly belief around certainly share belief around the current political debate of the current political debate of the day. gaza and the free palestine movement . so, you palestine movement. so, you know, corbyn is standing as an independent. there's been rumours that he might stand as a london mayoral candidate with galloway behind him, that could create chaos for sadiq khan if there was a highly motivated london mayoral campaign . with london mayoral campaign. with galloway rallying around the muslim vote and corbyn being

popular as brand corbyn anyway , popular as brand corbyn anyway, do you not think there could be some coming together? after all? you know corbyn is an independent. he's out in the wilderness himself. >> is, and there's no, no >> yes he is, and there's no, no sign of jeremy corbyn coming back into the labour party. i mean, has mean, keir starmer has made that, quite clear. um, that, made that quite clear. um, i think it's pretty unlikely that , um, uh, i think it's pretty unlikely that, um, uh, jeremy corbyn will throw his hat into the london mayoral election. there is a question, question whether he will stand as a candidate in islington as an independent agent. but because of our system, unless you've got the big party machines behind you, it is very difficult. he might just win islington . he's very just win islington. he's very popular there. if you walk around the constituency with him, uh, he gets mobbed by people. i mean, he is actually he, he has got a, got a very strong personal vote. but as i say, without the party machine in our first past the post system , i don't think either of system, i don't think either of them could get very far. >> yeah , but galloway didn't >> yeah, but galloway didn't have the data. he didn't have

all of that for rochdale . and all of that for rochdale. and yet he won because he fought that election on a single issue campaign . what's to stop that campaign. what's to stop that happening again ? happening again? >> think i think we have >> um, i think i think we have to have to think of rochdale as a particularly peculiar by—election. so for a start, labour voters had nowhere to go because their candidate had lost the support of the labour party for anti—semitic comments . the support of the labour party for anti—semitic comments. um, it is significant that you ended up with a car repair shop owner , up with a car repair shop owner, dave tully, coming second and he he campaigned and entirely on local issues . so i don't think local issues. so i don't think that that we can think of rochdale as being typical as far as by elections go. now had george galloway won against a proper labour candidate , it proper labour candidate, it i might be thinking rather different , but he didn't might be thinking rather different, but he didn't. might be thinking rather different, but he didn't . and as different, but he didn't. and as a result of that i still think we are giving a bit too much importance to his election. okay well let's see a meanwhile, can

well let's see a meanwhile, can we reflect upon friday's extra ordinary speech by rishi sunak on extremism? >> precipita ated many said by galloway's shock election and nigel today and we're expected to cut to um galloway's opening speech in about 7 or 8 minutes. time in parliament and um, they're redefining extremism. um, rather than people who are vocal and active opponents. fundamental british values, actions that undermine the country's institutions or values with a firm commitment to deport hate preachers . this is with a firm commitment to deport hate preachers. this is ten years too late, isn't it? it's too little, too late. everything's spun out of control while they've been silent and sitting on their hands. well we actually have laws in place actually have have laws in place to do those things anyway . to do those things anyway. >> okay. um, so, i mean, if you want to actually stop people getting country, you getting into the country, you use the not conducive to public good to do it. and not give them a visa . if somebody is convicted

a visa. if somebody is convicted of hate speech and ends up going to prison, we can then deport them . now, obviously, the them. now, obviously, the question about the about changing the definition of extremism, it's that versus, uh, versus the right to free speech. so depending on exactly how that one develops, we have to see, i mean, no one's against actually deaung mean, no one's against actually dealing with hate speech . no one dealing with hate speech. no one is against stopping people coming into this country because there are risks to our national security . but at the same time , security. but at the same time, we must we must allow the right to demonstrate hate, the right to demonstrate hate, the right to say what you want within the law . and that's why we're going law. and that's why we're going to be very careful about changing definitions of things to do that . to do that. >> okay. nigel lawson, thanks for joining us. talking about forjoining us. talking about deporting people. we've had 906 people arrive via dinghies in the last five days. and with eight clear days ahead of us, that surely set to rocket. thank you, nigel nelson , forjoining you, nigel nelson, forjoining us. now moving on. it's the

new. welcome back. 3:20 on this monday afternoon , you're monday afternoon, you're watching all of us into martin daubney on gb news. there can be no option of a life on benefits. well, that was the message to young people from the labour party as the party set out its vision to boost youth and

employment levels, sounding actually quite a lot like the conservative party and the shadow works and pensions secretary liz kendall says young people will be told that they have responsible party to take people will be told that they ha\jobs.esponsible party to take people will be told that they ha\jobs. all)nsible party to take people will be told that they ha\jobs. all trainingiarty to take people will be told that they ha\jobs. all training they'll take people will be told that they ha\jobs. all training they'll be :e up jobs. all training they'll be offered under a labour government. as she outlined that offer better to offer better mental health support and improved access and career advice. as part of a five point plan to get britain working again, she also pointed out that 1 in 8 young people are not in work, education or training and it was costing the british taxpayer billions of pounds in benefits, a topic we talk about a lot on this show. benefits, a topic we talk about a lot on this show . and joining a lot on this show. and joining me now in the studio in westminster to go through this is jo gideon, conservative mp for stoke on trent . and you're for stoke on trent. and you're also the chair of the all parliamentary group for youth affairs. that's right. so you know what you're talking about on this particular policy, jo, it sounds like the labour party are wearing the conservative party's policies . get young party's policies. get young people off the dole , get them

people off the dole, get them off benefits, record amounts of young people who aren't in work. are they on the right track or are they nicking your ideas? >> well, i don't like the language that use. language that they use. >> talk to a lot of young >> i talk to a lot of young people, i think that we have people, and i think that we have to have sympathy for, to have great sympathy for, especially those young people who've through the covid who've come through the covid penod who've come through the covid period and they have the disruption of their school exams. if they were there . um, i exams. if they were there. um, i think we need to be more sympathetic to the fact that they have quite often mental health challenges , um, health challenges, um, insecurities and, um, we need to work together . but it's not just work together. but it's not just the role of government . it this the role of government. it this is the role of business. this is the role of educators. it's the role the community to role of the community to actually provide that support so that feel support is that they feel that support is into work. >> 851,000 young people , aged 16 >> 851,000 young people, aged 16 to 24, who are the neet not in education, employment or training . that's a terrible training. that's a terrible waste of opportunity and ability. but how do you book the

train then? you mentioned covid dunng train then? you mentioned covid during that time, a lot of young people got quite used to being paid nothing . the bond was paid to do nothing. the bond was broken between work and reward money for nothing and your kicks for free. isn't that baked in? now to their mindset? >> well, is why we need to >> well, this is why we need to come try and change come together to try and change it. i've been it. i think i've been particularly worried about school attendance um, school attendance because, um, 1.5 million children are, um, don't attend. so there absent for over 10% of the time. um, 140,000 are absent for more than 50% of the time. so they're just not in school. and if you if you have a generation that doesn't see education as a, as a, as a positive benefit that it prepares them for the life ahead, then really, what's the path for them? because you know, the path is, um, less less qualified jobs , lower self qualified jobs, lower self esteem , lower poorer mental esteem, lower poorer mental health, and that really isn't something that any of us should be proud of in a generation. we talk a lot. >> we use these catch phrases

like, you know, work shy britain and all the rest of it. snow flakes even because young people seem to be retreating into their shells. but is there something else at play, jo? because i hear a lot from young people now say they simply can't see a pathway forward because house prices are so high, they spend so much of their disposable income on rent and there's never any opportunity to save up and to get on as there was for our generations. and that is down to things like housing, housing shortages and also immigration, supply and demand . yes, absolutely. >> i mean, i talk to a lot of businesses and they say that quite often they find young people not work ready. so, i mean, i think that possibly there is an intermediary stage, and this is where apprenticeships are so incredibly valuable because , as incredibly valuable because, as you know, the apprenticeship route means that, um, that they're training on the job, but they're training on the job, but they are training , um, and they are training, um, and they're integrated into a workplace where there is support for them if they're struggling. so i mean, i think that we need

to when we are expanding this enormous nicely. but, um , you're enormous nicely. but, um, you're right, you know, it is very tough for young people, not only do they feel they can't get housing, um, homelessness is going up amongst young people . going up amongst young people. so there is a piece around safeguarding and i think that, i mean, our schools and colleges do a fantastic job, but we need to make sure that they, the young people stay in education and training for as long as possible so that they , they are possible so that they, they are well prepared for the world of work . work. >> did we sell an illusion to a generation of young people like tony blair? your man who tony blair? was your man who said education, education, education? simply in education? but are we simply in a now, joe, where we have a place now, joe, where we have too people degrees? we too many people with degrees? we use the phrase mickey mouse degrees , getting into a heck of degrees, getting into a heck of a debt, 50, 60, 70 plus a lot of debt, 50, 60, 70 plus grand of that . they're in a job grand of that. they're in a job market where loads and loads of other people have degrees, are on a parity that pushes wages down. it's a supply and demand issue again. so you talk about things like like apprenticeships, but how will that work in principle? how can

we entice industry and businesses to follow your lead. >> well you're absolutely right. i think that the tony blair nofion i think that the tony blair notion of over 50% graduate nafion notion of over 50% graduate nation just doesn't make sense. um i think we're we're going down that track now of vocational training being of equal value and really important because, you know, we'll all need, um, tradespeople , need, um, tradespeople, engineers, skills that you don't necessarily need a university degree for. um, but also it's really important. so i remember one of my businesses said i would much rather have an apprentice come in and train them up than have a graduate that comes in with all the technical knowledge, but they don't know how my business works. so so actually employers prefer , you know, to certain prefer, you know, to certain level, of course you can do degree apprenticeships. you degree apprenticeships. so you can have your degree can actually have your degree funded by um by your employer. so you don't come out with a huge debt , so you don't come out with a huge debt, you so you don't come out with a huge debt , you know, so you can huge debt, you know, so you can probably to buy your probably afford to buy your house there are lots house earlier. so there are lots of different and think of different routes. and i think

probably school level, we probably at the school level, we need uh, tell people need to, uh, um, tell people more routes , more about the different routes, um, so that they understand that, that actually you don't need huge debt. need to create a huge debt. >> okay. on other matters , your >> okay. on other matters, your mp for stoke, i was an mep for stoke. i know that area. i know it's very brexity, very red bull. i want to talk to you about lee anderson. um, lee anderson made some comments last week or the week before actually, on show. um, two actually, on this show. um, two thirds of conservative party members . a survey in over members. a survey came in over the weekend backed anderson. the weekend backed lee anderson. they him back they would like to see him back in the party. would you? >> i, i'm in the same >> um, i, i'm in the same position as the prime minister in that i, i, i believe that he shouldn't have said what he said. um, and, and i believe he's refused to apologise . so my he's refused to apologise. so my view hasn't changed. >> um, but no doubt you know, knowing your constituents in stoke central, probably the vast majority of people there would agree anderson . agree with lee anderson. >> so i mean, for me personally, it's about the tone that you take. and, you know, i think that the last few weeks in

parliament have shown that that , parliament have shown that that, um, to be very um, we all have to be very mindful of the language that we use, all have to respect use, and we all have to respect the are of the fact that others are of different, different view. um, and, you know, so for that reason alone, i would say, you know, he needs to reflect on what he said . what he said. >> okay. and on friday, there was an emergency statement by the prime minister, rishi sunak. we covered again live on we covered that again live on the show, promising to clamp the show, um, promising to clamp down on extremists and deport hate preachers. about time . hate preachers. about time. >> yes, yes, absolutely . um >> yes, yes, absolutely. um quite frankly, you know, our democracy only works when we have respect for, you know, the principles of democracy . and principles of democracy. and when you have parliament, koreans who feel that they have to behave in a different way because they're under, you know, we've had, um , sadly, members of we've had, um, sadly, members of parliament with death threats and, um, you know, this is something that i think has to change. and the prime minister was absolutely right to call it out. >> mike freer, of course, is

stepping down. earlier today, in fact, we just saw him outside a short while ago. scully is short while ago. paul scully is also conservative mp stepping also a conservative mp stepping down. like there's down. it feels like there's a pattern emerging, sad pattern pattern emerging, a sad pattern where good people, good public servants just think politics is no longer worth their time. how do we change that mentality ? do we change that mentality? >> well, i mean, you're absolutely right. i'm stepping down as well. i think that, um , down as well. i think that, um, that maybe this is the time to value more what we do. and and also not to, um, demonise politicians because, you know, we're all human beings and ultimately , you know, we have ultimately, you know, we have families, we don't want, um, to be threatened . and we're doing a be threatened. and we're doing a job. it's a public service. but ultimately , you have to think ultimately, you have to think about your own protection and those you know you love in terms of your your career. >> briefly, if we could, joe, how stressful is being an mp now in terms of the threats, the dangen in terms of the threats, the danger, the worries, the anxiety compared your heritage . compared to your heritage. >> so to be honest, i try not to

think about the you know, the potential threats. but we had an incident in stoke only a couple of weeks ago, um, where the police were involved and where council meeting. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so it was a fundraiser. yeah and the mps were told not to attend because the police couldn't guarantee their safety. now, know, that's shocking . now, you know, that's shocking. it is shocking. it really is shocking. >> has to change. >> that has to change. >> that has to change. >> it has to change. yes >> it has to change. yes >> okay. joe gideon, thank you very much joining us on the very much for joining us on the show. pleasure. now, show. always a pleasure. now, lots on the show lots more coming up on the show today. forget can today. and don't forget you can join and michelle join nigel farage and michelle dewberry for a budget special in whitehaven . scan the qr code on whitehaven. scan the qr code on your screen right now and you could join them to take part in that show and let us know your thoughts on all of our talking points today. email us at gb views at gb news. com in particular, do you trust the prime minister? what he said on friday it's time to clamp friday about it's time to clamp down on extremism? it's time to clamp down on two tier policing. well, i've got some footage after this showing you that there amounts of two

welcome back. 337 you're watching or listen to martin daubney on gb news now the chance will deliver his spnng the chance will deliver his spring budget this wednesday. a final opportunity for the government to lay out their plans ahead of the next general election. you may well say . election. you may well say. well, jeremy hunt has already been hinted at taxes ahead of the fiscal statement . the fiscal statement. >> we do want to move to a lower

taxed economy, but we're only going to do so in a way that is responsible, loyal and recognised is that there are things that taxes pay for that we couldn't cut taxes by borrowing. we'll do so in a responsible way. but if we can spend money on public services more efficiently, then then that will mean less pressure on taxpayers . taxpayers. >> well, surely we've reached the point now where it's tax cuts all die. well, joining me in the studio to discuss this is the man who cuts through the grease like no other is gb news economics and business editor liam halligan with on the money . liam. >> very nice to be compared to a household product sort of drain cleaner or something, but you do know you do cut through the grease. >> it's great to have in the studio for starters. secondly it surely is the time now , the last surely is the time now, the last chance saloon, the last drink in the last chance saloon, last orders in the last chance

saloon. jeremy hunt must put the bacon on the table. he must give the tax cut. liam surely. >> well , the tory strategy is to >> well, the tory strategy is to go long, isn't it? >> they have to have an election before january 2025. we're not going have an election between christmas and the new year or in the run up to christmas. so it's got october november got to be october or november and the tories reckon that they can tax cuts can get three sets of tax cuts in between october and november , in between october and november, as well as hoping the bank of england gives us 2 or 3 interest rate cuts to try and generate a feel good factor, try and feel good factor, to try and make fist of challenging. make a fist of challenging. labour's point opinion poll make a fist of challenging. lab0lwe point opinion poll make a fist of challenging. lab0lwe saw oint opinion poll make a fist of challenging. lab0lwe saw in|t opinion poll make a fist of challenging. lab0lwe saw in january,1 poll make a fist of challenging. lab0lwe saw in january, it)oll make a fist of challenging. lab0lwe saw in january, it was lead. we saw in january, it was announced in november, the autumn statement we saw in january, a two percentage point cut in the headline rate of national insurance from 12% to 10. so 12 pee in the pound to 1010 in the pound . certainly 1010 in the pound. certainly lots and lots of tory backbenchers and many conservative leaning voters want another tax cut in the budget on march the 6th. that's this coming wednesday. and then the

tory strategy is to try and get another set of tax cuts in, uh, in an autumn statement in september or october before an october november general election. let's have a look at some of the scores on the doors. martin, we know this budget statement is on the 6th of march. that's this coming wednesday. uh, jeremy hunt, he may cut 1 or £0.02 off the main 20% rate of income tax . anyone 20% rate of income tax. anyone that earns over about 12.5 grand a year pays that 20% on what they earn above 12. and a half grand a year. he could , though, grand a year. he could, though, cut national insurance instead . cut national insurance instead. and we'll come on to what the differences are. and tactically, why 1st may be more attractive to him than another. and how is he going pay for all this? he going to pay for all this? because, of course, idea because, of course, the idea that tax cuts actually generate growth revenue, not growth and revenue, you're not allowed that even allowed to think that even though history often though that's what history often shows pay for his tax shows, he has to pay for his tax cuts otherwise, office for cuts. otherwise, the office for budget responsibility will be on his so he wants to his case. and so he wants to raise business class airfares.

the duty that you pay for you if you're lucky enough to turn left when you get on a plane rather than turn as know you than turn right, as i know you and do. uh, he also wants to and i do. uh, he also wants to dilute even we call dilute or even end what we call non—dom status . what's non—dom tax status. what's a non—dom? and it's non—domicile. it's a foreign person who lives in the uk as resident in the uk, but they use clever accounting and some kind of metaphysical, uh, accounting trick to claim that they're not domiciled in the uk. they're then allowed to earn money overseas without paying earn money overseas without paying uk tax for a certain penod paying uk tax for a certain period of time. that regime has beenin period of time. that regime has been in place for many, many years in the uk, that may be diluted and less generous to wealthy foreigners . again, lots wealthy foreigners. again, lots of conservatives will complain if that happens, and that was a labour party policy. >> it seems that's been reheated by jeremy hunt. >> well, george osborne , the >> well, george osborne, the tory was the person tory chancellor, was the person who first tampered with the non—dom regime back in the early 20105. non—dom regime back in the early 2010s. he changed it. so after a certain number of years, you had to pay 30 grand a year straight

up and down to the tax man in order to claim non—domicile. um status. labour wants to be more draconian and pretty much end non—dom status altogether. the tories are looking for a middle way, certainly it is a sort way, but certainly it is a sort of labour lite policy. >> so want ask you about >> so i want to ask you about the then, about the difference then, about national insurance tax national insurance cuts and tax cuts, cuts are sexier. the cuts, tax cuts are sexier. the electorate gets them any cuts we have that did we really notice the difference? is it a bit more ephemeral. what do think. ephemeral. what do you think. right >> so what is what is income tax and what national insurance. and what is national insurance. income tax as everyone understands, above 12.5 grand understands, is above 12.5 grand a you pay 20. and then a year. you pay 20. and then there a threshold where you pay 40% above 50 grand a year. and then there's another threshold above 125 grand a year where you pay above 125 grand a year where you pay 45. so they are our tax thresholds. that's england's wales and northern ireland. in scotland they have six different tax bands. we'll come on to that. why might the chancellor want to cut national insurance rather than income tax. because he can say rightly and people

like me will agree with him. national insurance is pretty much the same as income tax. it's a tax in all but name . it it's a tax in all but name. it comes out your pay packet before you get your take home pay, and nominally it's meant to go to the and the security the nhs and the social security system, it doesn't. it all system, but it doesn't. it all goes into one big pot . so the goes into one big pot. so the difference between nic national insurance contributions and income tax is that if you cut national insurance , it's national insurance, it's cheapen national insurance, it's cheaper. why because pensioners pay cheaper. why because pensioners pay income tax on their pensions and landlords pay income tax on their rent , and landlords pay income tax on their rent, but and landlords pay income tax on their rent , but they and landlords pay income tax on their rent, but they don't pay national insurance on those things. so if you cut national insurance, your you're, you're basically, uh, giving the tax break to people who are working, not getting income from rent, not getting income from rent, not getting income from rent, not getting a pension. so it's focussed on the working age population who don't have rental property , so it's cheaper to cut property, so it's cheaper to cut it . it costs the exchequer less it. it costs the exchequer less than to cut national insurance. the other thing, crucially , is the other thing, crucially, is that i hinted at it earlier.

while whitehall and westminster control income tax in england, wales and for the most part in northern ireland, they don't in scotland. in the scottish parliament, has a lot of power and it can change its own rate of income tax and it can also there are different thresholds in scotland and of course the tories want to do something that's seen as even handed for scotland too. and if they cut income tax in scotland, it wouldn't apply unless the scottish parliament and the scottish parliament and the scottish government, of scottish government, which of course is snp, said that it would so if cut nic, would apply. so if they cut nic, that applies to the that applies in scotland to the tories very, very tories are very, very, very keen to try and limit labour's gains in scotland . that's why they in scotland. that's why they have their spring conference in scotland why have their spring conference in sco tories why have their spring conference in scotories are why have their spring conference in scotories are talking why have their spring conference in scotories are talking abouthy the tories are talking about maybe, maybe, maybe , um, not an maybe, maybe, maybe, um, not an oasis song . they are going to, oasis song. they are going to, uh, maybe lower the windfall tax on people drilling for oil and gas in the north sea from its current rate of 75. labour want it to be even higher than 75, which of course, many people say will kill off lots of different

projects . labour deny that would happen. >> superb liam halligan. as evenl >> superb liam halligan. as ever, i think i'd just about understood that. thank you very much. stuff. cheers. now much. great stuff. cheers. now still to come, would bid for still to come, would you bid for penny coronation dress? penny mordaunt coronation dress? well, for sale. but well, it's up for sale. but first in a gb news series innovation in britain, we're looking at the successes of british manufacturing around the country . country. >> today. we are at middlesex aerospace in basingstoke and i'm joined by lawrence fold, the owner of the business, and i want to find out, lawrence, why engineering is so important to uk. >> well, engineering and aerospace engineering in particular produces a whole series of very well paid, interesting jobs. >> um, the products that were made in this factory ultimately speaking, pretty much all go abroad . abroad. >> and, uh, even though they're

integrated into systems in this country. >> but they'll wind up in airbus, boeing and other major aircraft facilities around the world. >> so exporting is really important. >> are we becoming competitive globally? >> we remain competitive globally . globally. >> um, just because areas have got, uh, have got cheap labour, it doesn't mean that they're very good at producing sophisticated components. >> and it's that that we do here is to produce technology at the very end of, of very high, high end of, of manufacturing . manufacturing. >> and how are we addressing the skills gap and how important is this? >> we've had our own apprenticeship every apprenticeship programme every year 1950. year since 1950. >> so we continue to train here, um, train our own apprentices and build, build up the skills of our own, of our own people. >> and that's been really key to our success over the years . um, our success over the years. um, and as a national, um, as a national thing, training and education for, um, for all the people is for all of our people is very important. i mean, it's very much a truth to say that if you think education is expensive, ignorance

dress to fund projects in her constituency. she was giving an interview to the sunday times magazine over the weekend . magazine over the weekend. portsmouth's north her portsmouth's north is her constituency . constituency and constituency. constituency and as you said, one of those projects is reportedly trying to raise money for the west african squadron memorial statue that those men who lost their lives trying to enforce the ban on slavery. so that is one of the projects which could perhaps do quite well for penny mordaunt. but in that interview, which i found was that she found quite funny, was that she would never she she would would never she said she would never to wear that dress never be able to wear that dress again unless was to again unless she was going to a fancy dress party dressed as herself. so perhaps little bit herself. so perhaps a little bit of penny mordaunt of humour from penny mordaunt there, iconic there, but it is an iconic moment in british royal moment now in british royal history . history. >> um, in many senses cameron is up there with, with some of the, the greatest that the greatest pieces that princess diana used to wear. yeah, exactly. >> the that she was >> and the fact that she was holding a 3.6kg sword of state at the same time, i think perhaps spoke volumes traditionally , the lord traditionally, the lord president privy council president of the privy council would wearing these robes for

would be wearing these robes for the coronation, they were the coronation, but they were designed a man because, designed for a man because, of course, traditionally it would not a woman that and not be a woman in that role. and penny was the first. so penny mordaunt was the first. so she that wasn't she wanted something that wasn't going just dress, but going to be just a dress, but wasn't going to upstage the royals particular robes. so royals with particular robes. so this came with this is what she came up with with the embroidery. >> cameron walker, >> great stuff. cameron walker, thank it's thank you. as ever. it's a magnificent dress a fine magnificent dress and a fine cause there's plenty more still to come on today's show, as the government pledges to crack down on extremism, who are the threats to our democracy ? threats to our democracy? because we all the answer because we all know the answer to . they said it was the to that. they said it was the far right , to that. they said it was the far right, but it's actually something different, isn't something far different, isn't it? but first, here's your latest weather forecast with alex deakin . alex deakin. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. most of us having a dank , murky old night having a dank, murky old night with rain spreading its way

seat. she says we will definitely stand against angela raynen definitely stand against angela rayner. we are to cost rayner. we are going to cost labour seats . keir starmer will labour seats. keir starmer will lose because of this party, lose mps because of this party, he says, and that to me, take away from showbiz nature of away from the showbiz nature of away from the showbiz nature of a galloway press a george galloway press conference and literally the huge numbers of journalists there i think that there squeezed in. i think that was quite fascinating. >> when talks about >> when he talks about independents, the mind straight away on jeremy corbyn, away lands on jeremy corbyn, diane abbott, the rump of the old fashioned hard left. there out in the wilderness. um, it caught galloway has made no secret of his desire to court them. chris williamson, his deputy, has been openly courting them to come back together. could we see the fag end of the hard left regrouping around galloway ? galloway? >> you might think that, but corbyn wasn't there now. corbyn was meant to be walking, uh, george galloway in when he was sworn in. you need two mps. according to legislation passed in 1688 to be sworn as an mp, um george galloway said there that jeremy corbyn was stuck in margate at another another event

so couldn't make it. and there's some hollow, hollow laughter there. we don't know what that meant. that a meant. whether that was a serious we know that serious or not. we do know that the father of the house, sir peter bottomley, because he felt it his to so , helped it was his duty to do so, helped swear with an with an swear in along with an with an alba party mp . um, almost alba party mp. um, almost because the alba party he'll be stuck in that corner of the commons the commons where the where the independents sit. it was very independents sit. it was a very interesting press conference for george galloway. half an hour of it. about gaza. he it. he talked about gaza. he talked israel. he's asked talked about israel. he's asked whether israel had a right to exist. he said no nation had a right to exist. the uk may be swept away at some point. so he he dodged that question on what the future israel. he also the future of israel. he also talked about future of talked about the future of rochdale football club, and protested has an protested that rochdale has an oldham postcode. so he had this extraordinary moment of being part of international view of life hyperlocal . life and also hyperlocal. >> okay, well we have actually now got that clip to now got that clip ready to rumble . let's have a quick look rumble. let's have a quick look at what galloway said. a parliament earlier.

at what galloway said. a parliament earlier . first of parliament. >> but at least, uh, none of them , uh, behave badly. uh, as them, uh, behave badly. uh, as badly as i had feared that they would. >> i left my young children behind , actually, uh , because i behind, actually, uh, because i didn't want to , uh, have them didn't want to, uh, have them see the decline of this place. >> it has declined . >> it has declined. >> it has declined. >> and when i first entered here all those decades ago , uh, there all those decades ago, uh, there were 100 people or more men and women of independent mind on both sides of the house that were figures in the land that stopped you in your tracks, in the corridor that you turned your head to see them go by. i'm sorry to say, that's no longer true. >> uh , and so i hope, i think >> uh, and so i hope, i think the hansard writers hope that i'll add to the, uh, political intelligence quotient in the hansard writers , uh, entry . uh,

hansard writers, uh, entry. uh, and i hope to get the opportunity early, uh, to make the interventions that i have planned to make. uh i will attempt to speak in the prime minister's questions on wednesday . uh, minister's questions on wednesday. uh, and if i don't succeed, i will stay on and try to speak in the budget debate. i'm unlikely to be chosen for both of course. >> uh, so i hope you'll hear from me on on wednesday, and i'll have. >> and that was an old clip of george galloway outside parliament. interesting. he's got his hat there , but he got his hat on there, but he wasn't hat. his wasn't wearing his hat. his trademark for wearing trademark for wasn't wearing that inside. >> well, explain why he wore it. because he hit over the head because he was hit over the head attack in 2014. the attack in 2014. he said the person who did it got a 20 year jail sentence. he also said that had parliamentary had the parliamentary authorities tougher with authorities been tougher with attacks on mps , then we may not attacks on mps, then we may not have seen the violence we saw in later years. so he's got, you know, he's been around politics.

he's been an mp for four different , four different areas, uh, four cities, four towns matched only by churchill in parliamentary history. >> so we talked last week about the 2030, um, target seats with a vastly proportionally disproportionate amount of muslim voters. some of them got 67, 65% down to like 40. a huge rump of seats that galloway will no doubt have in his top targets, aligned to some of the marginal, um, target seats to get the headlines. angela raynen get the headlines. angela rayner, that that's a delicious prospect . prospect. >> that's right. standing against rayner. rayner has got a few thousand majority there in greater manchester and he thinks that one candidates will that one of his candidates will have a chance of taking that. we don't know who they are yet again , really careful reading again, really careful reading too into a by—election. uh, too much into a by—election. uh, win for him, a landslide win. but of course, these are often protest votes. but no question , protest votes. but no question, he thinks he can make some ground. there the ground. there of course, the election in election could be, i think in november. i don't it's in november. i don't think it's in may. last words, may. famous last words, but probably november. then probably in november. so by then you may and we all hope it's

you may be and we all hope it's the case that the israel, the gaza conflict ended. the case that the israel, the gazinteresting ended. the case that the israel, the gazinteresting how1ded. the case that the israel, the gazinteresting how thei. the case that the israel, the gazinteresting how the reform >> interesting how the reform party, it's kind of hospital tackle to kind of damage the conservatives and perhaps let labour in. might this movement do the opposite? so they're damaging the labour party . damaging the labour party. galloway might not care about the conservative winning seats if he's stopping starmer getting in. >> yeah, it seems that way, doesn't it, that you could, that you could make an argument. and i did on gb news for our i did on gb news website for our members an analysis piece members and an analysis piece last friday. i did make that point, there's every chance point, that there's every chance that the workers party of britain maybe other similar britain and maybe other similar fringe do the fringe parties could do the damage, the party damage, which the reform party is tories, is doing, doing to the tories, which labour. which is for labour. >> the front row >> well, you're on the front row there, thank very there, chris. thank you very much joining studio as much forjoining us in studio as even much forjoining us in studio as ever. now moving ever. superb stuff. now moving on. could win spring on. you could win the spring essentials in our latest great british giveaway . there's a british giveaway. there's a garden gadget package , a garden gadget package, a shopping spree and £12,345 in cash. 12345 here's all the details . details. >> we have a ton of top prizes

welcome back. it's 419. you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news choose now george galloway swearing in as rochdale's new mp, comes as rishi sunaks government is looking to clamp down on extreme ism by deporting foreign hate preachers and broadening the definition of extremism to include those that spread hate . include those that spread hate. we've heard this before. don't you? well, joining us now to discuss this , as the former head discuss this, as the former head of counter terrorism for the city of london police , kevin city of london police, kevin hurley. kev, welcome to the

show. always a pleasure . so on show. always a pleasure. so on friday we saw a dramatic emergency speech by rishi sunak promising to clamp down at and on monday. now it's all about the words there is people. now apparently, that don't pose a direct threat to britain. but those who undermine in the country's institutions or values and promising finally to kick people out who are hate preachers. kevin is this fiddling while rome burns? and is it just too little, too late? well yeah. >> i mean, they've been fiddling while rome burns for at least the last ten, 12 years. >> uh, turning to the issue of preachers teaching , uh, or preachers teaching, uh, or preaching hate , this has been a preaching hate, this has been a problem in the uk for many, many years . uh, problem in the uk for many, many years. uh, many imams are trained in madrassas , um, in trained in madrassas, um, in pakistan . in there they are pakistan. in there they are quite extreme , following extreme quite extreme, following extreme salafist doctrine funded by saudi arabia . and it's estimated

saudi arabia. and it's estimated between 50 and 60% of the mosques in the uk have been covertly funded by the saudi arabia to preach extreme salafism, which i know in some cases, including when i investigated the red hill mosque a while ago, was stuff like spread the blood of the christian on the sand . so, you christian on the sand. so, you know, that's happened in the past in surrey. i'm pretty sure it's going on elsewhere. as for the words about police need to get on and deal with, uh, civil disorder, etc, we discussed that the other day. they simply have not got the numbers . they're not got the numbers. they're actually too worried and too scared about their own jobs to do that. and finally, they do not have the proper public order equipment that's now required to police large groups of people who do not follow the traditional british values of a bit of pushing and shoving and shouting and very quickly turning to mob violence. so i'm talking about they need water cannon, they need index marker solutions that you can get the

people after the event. they need project, uh , various forms need project, uh, various forms of, uh, projectiles like baton rounds, beanbags , that kind of rounds, beanbags, that kind of stuff. um, as well as large scale pepper sprays to keep the crowd distanced because very quickly, if our police were were to get stuck in, they won't do. i can tell you that now you'd start to get large numbers of casualties. you wouldn't have enough police, uh, to police those demonstrations or whatever. and the big point i make about this, martin, is all those officers you see in our cities at the moment, police, these demonstrations have got a normal job that's called normal day job that's called patrolling and policing. the local areas where we all live. and then we wonder why there's no one turning up to investigate our burglaries. or when our car gets broken into, or people wait ages for a 999 call. it is because they're all drawn in central london now , big cities central london now, big cities policing these demonstrations . policing these demonstrations. >> and kev, that brings me neatly on to my next point, because here's a clip i want to

play because here's a clip i want to play now of the police doing absolutely nothing on saturday at that pro palestine march, despite the previous day, the prime minister saying the police would have tough new powers. watch this . hey hey hey hey . so care if we hey hey hey hey. so care if we talk a lot on this show about two tier policing? i put it to you, mr hurley. if those protesters had been millwall fans or indeed any football fans doing that , shoving coppers, doing that, shoving coppers, swearing , spitting, whacking swearing, spitting, whacking them with flagpoles , they'd have them with flagpoles, they'd have been tasting a baton . every been tasting a baton. every single one of them would have been nicked. and yet they're standing off and doing nothing

to this crowd . to this crowd. >> i think that's quite a possibility . the police there possibility. the police there will be very concerned . you've will be very concerned. you've got so—called legal advisers there. one recently was quick to fall on the floor. she's made a complaint against police when they were about allegedly to get more physical. if you like. but i despair looking at that . i i despair looking at that. i think they knew this was going to be a problem. why haven't the senior officers told those officers to clip their public order helmets with visors on their belts, so that as soon as it gets physical, you say, put the helmets on, then the crowd knows you mean business. but those officers there haven't even got gloves on. most of them, so they're not even scaled up to do business. if you're, if you're if we use that to firm for getting physical and it's a leadership issue , it's a fact leadership issue, it's a fact that the police don't feel backed or supported and it doesn't matter what the prime minister says, i can tell you they will not engage and get stuck in the way in which people

think they should because they're scared for their own jobs and scared of being prosecuted . and the police are prosecuted. and the police are on to hiding to nothing. and on to a hiding to nothing. and by that i mean those young cops out there who volunteer to do that , in addition to the that work, in addition to the normal patrol activity. if we're serious in this country about taking the streets back and deaung taking the streets back and dealing with this , we need a dealing with this, we need a whole new regime of leadership within the police where they say, yes, we want walter cannon, we want to use pepper sprays on the on these kind of crowds. we want to keep our people protected and distanced because there's no question, if you started spraying them with water cannon or you started spraying them with pepper spray, that crowd would fall back and they'd packit crowd would fall back and they'd pack it in. so you know, we can't have it two ways. either we accept the fact we're going to let police officers get shoved around embarrassed, and our crowds dominated by god knows who they are or we change the paradigm and we deal with the paradigm and we deal with the fact that people like mayor

khan sold off the metropolitan police's water cannons after cameron said that they could have them. but then may wouldn't license them after boris bought them . so there's all kinds of them. so there's all kinds of internal politics going on in the tory party here about why the tory party here about why the police haven't got that, which they should have. i mean, for goodness sake , we're quite for goodness sake, we're quite happy to use water cannon on the irish over in the north of ireland. so what's the difference ? difference? >> yeah. kevin, who are you speaking ? common sense. a speaking? common sense. and a lot would no doubt lot of people would no doubt like and those like that. and a lot of those guys the shower, guys obe the first shower, they'd in months. kevin they'd had in months. kevin hurley, very for hurley, thank you very much for joining show . hurley, thank you very much for joining show. now joining us on the show. now moving liz kendall, joining us on the show. now moving liz kendall , the moving on, liz kendall, the shadow works and pensions secretary, has told young people that under labour plans there will option of a life on will be no option of a life on benefits. well kendall unveiled the five point plan, which includes better mental health support and career advice , support and career advice, telling young people that they will response , ability to will have a response, ability to take the jobs and training take up the jobs and training that they will be offered under a government . well,

a labour government. well, joining us now to discuss this is peter dowd, who's a labour mp for battle. peter, welcome to the show. sounds like a tory policy to get off benefits and get back to work. get on your bike. the labour party is channelling thatcherism . channelling thatcherism. >> no , i think you've, uh, >> no, i think you've, uh, cherry picked , if i can use that phrase. >> martin, i think this is about the broader issue environment in which, uh, education, training schools has developed over the past 14 years. i've said this before. there's been underinvestment in schools. >> there have been underinvestment further education colleges, there have been underinvestment in training, has been underinvestment in teachers careers advice universities . careers advice universities. >> the apprenticeship levies in a complete mess. >> so what labour are trying to do is to tackle what we've inherited, given there's been 40 years of this chaos within the whole, the education system from , well, early years. >> right. the way through to aduu >> right. the way through to adult education. it's got to be set into that, that context, that and peter, how would this

work in practice? >> would it be. oh, you know, here's some help now. you're welcome to it. or would it actually be a bit more stick and actually be a bit more stick and a bit less carrot and say, if you don't get off benefits, then we're your we're going to seize your benefits. to cut benefits. we're going to cut your benefits and get tough. or is soft soaping ? is it more soft soaping? >> it's neither. >> well, it's neither. >> well, it's neither. >> the problem is we always get into these binary position is you're either soft soaping or you've got a stick. >> it's neither one nor the other. it always has to be in any political or rather policy environment. >> it has to be a balance. that's what i'm trying to say. >> and if you if you if what? look, there are 7 million, 16 to 24 year olds and about about 800,000 of them are either not in education, employment, um, or training . training. >> um, i don't know about you. >> um, i don't know about you. >> i've never had to live on bev turner, fortunately, but i don't think living on benefit is a lifestyle choice as being part of a society that you've got to get help from that society . get help from that society. you've got to get help from your

schools get help schools. you've got to get help from family, from society schools. you've got to get help fro generalfamily, from society schools. you've got to get help fro general ,|mily, from society schools. you've got to get help fro general , whatevern society schools. you've got to get help fro general , whatever that iety schools. you've got to get help fro general , whatever that might in general, whatever that might be, to help you get into a job. we're always pushing this, having a good, well—paid job is great. it's it can be a great feeling. it can boost your confidence. it can boost your bank balance. it can boost lots of things. so this is about this whole question of getting the people into work in a productive capacity to enable them to have a decent life. and i don't think there's anything wrong with that i >> -- >> okay, peter, can i quickly ask you about rwanda ? it's being ask you about rwanda? it's being debated right now as we speak in the house of lords. baroness chakrabarti putting her points forward, kenneth clarke saying it's very likely that we will see the supreme court challenge this and torpedo it. and at the very start, the lords revolt , very start, the lords revolt, peter was being led by lord goldsmith, who was the attorney general to your old mate tony blair. it seems like pictures on

screen as we see them . it seems, screen as we see them. it seems, peter, that the rwanda bill will be torpedoed and that revolt being led in part by labour peers. well i think it's right across the piece to be to be fair, martin, have you got conservative members of parliament, lords, members of the house of lords unhappy labour members, crossbenchers? >> i mean, it seems to me that there are a whole range of people, um, opposed to this. so, for saying somewhere is for example, saying somewhere is safe in the context of rwanda when it is patently not is logic absurd? um, so that's why people who are actually thinking this thing through are proposing alternatives or , or are opposing alternatives or, or are opposing the current proposal , and it the current proposal, and it will come back to the house of commons and no doubt it will go around. uh the, um, the circuit once again and we'll debate it once again and we'll debate it once again and the government will try and get its way and pushit will try and get its way and push it through. but that doesn't make it good, and it doesn't make it good, and it doesn't make it good, and it doesn't make rwanda safe .

doesn't make rwanda safe. >> no, but what it does show us is that the house of lords seems to be in charge with great groundhog day. um, feelings , as groundhog day. um, feelings, as the days of brexit being echoed round and round, we go. and will we ever get to see a single person leave for rwanda? peter dowd, labour mp for bootle i don't think we will and we made a bet here at gb news with rishi sunak, a single pint of beer, not a single person would leave. peter dowd. i think my beer is safe, but thanks for joining us on the show. it's always a pleasure. for now, moving on. there's more coming up on there's lots more coming up on today's don't forget today's show. and don't forget you can join nigel farage and michelle dewberry a budget michelle dewberry for a budget special whitehaven. simply special in whitehaven. simply scan the qr code on your screen right there and could join right there and you could join them to take part that show. them to take part in that show. now let us know what are your thoughts talking points thoughts on our talking points today? email us please gbviews@gbnews.com. and there is that that , that um qr code scan that that, that um qr code scan that that, that um qr code scan that and you can join the audience with jubes or nigel farage. but first here's your

in ukraine and covid all of which pushed up the cost of fuel and fertilisers for farmers in wales and across the eu now as well, we're seeing the effects of inflexible top down targets being imposed on farmers. >> we want to see things done differently . that's what this differently. that's what this is. the conservative environment network's plan to put farming back on track . we want to see back on track. we want to see farmers rewarded for their work to positively improve the environment around them, not penalised as we've seen in wales and across the eu . we also want and across the eu. we also want to see a fairer deal given to farmers from the supermarkets. >> so that means toughening up the regulator and cracking down on imports of goods, which on the imports of goods, which contribute to deforest ation, for example, as well. >> and yet instead, jordan, what we're seeing is a 10% reduction of livestock . of livestock. >> that's what's being proposed because of environmental targets 11% loss of labours and that's on top of what we saw in wales, a 20% loss of land, 10% to trees

10% to wilding. anyone can work out. that's a 20% cut in your bottom line straight away. on top of net zero targets, on top of diesel taxes, on top of suppressed margins by the big retailers. it's a terrible time to be a farmer. why aren't the government listening? >> well, the situation you've described is, as it is in labour run wales and across the eu, where we have seen these top down targets introduced in england. >> i do think the government have taken a different approach , have taken a different approach, and that is to reward farmers for the positive contributions they take to improving the natural environment , so—called natural environment, so—called environmental land management schemes. i think that's the right approach . obviously we right approach. obviously we need to go much further . this need to go much further. this means ensuring all farmers have access to these schemes , so access to these schemes, so there's much more to be done for livestock farmers. also livestock farmers. there's also more to be done to ensure that farmers receive fairer deal at farmers receive a fairer deal at the so that means the supermarket. so that means longer contracts. so longer terms contracts. so farmers have more certainty. it also means improved ring

situation for farmers in the planning system. so we had a great announcement. uh last week by the prime minister, who backed our plan to ensure that farmers can get on and build farmers can get on and build farm shops and sell more of their own produce so that should help too. >> and we've got some pictures on that's french on screen. that's the french doing their damnedest to stop motorway as they close seven arterial routes into paris recently , in process of the recently, in process of the punitive measures put forward by ursula von der leyen from the european union. but you say it's a scottish thing, but these protests yesterday were in canterbury. we've seen them in doven canterbury. we've seen them in dover. we're also seeing movements in cumbria and there we see those protests in wales . we see those protests in wales. will it take a french style revolution? will it take major disruption before the government wakes up? it feels like we're playing queensberry rules at the moment in britain. >> well, there is a real incentive for the government to change the course they're on at the moment. we saw a poll last week showing support sliding away and historically strong

areas conservative areas for the conservative party. we know the numbers party. so we know the numbers are there. there is a real danger here. if the party losing support these areas. farmers, support in these areas. farmers, although they make up small although they make up a small percentage the population , percentage of the population, they footprint on they have a huge footprint on their local communities, producing that high quality food producing that high quality food producing goods, shaping our landscape physically. so it's really important that the government do wake up. they do listen. making sure listen. that means making sure that the post—brexit support schemes out more means that schemes pay out more means that supermarkets give farmers a fairer deal. we also loosen up our planning system so that farmers can get on, sell more of their own produce and build important pieces of farming infrastructure to. >> but how long will that take? the clock is ticking. we've got a general election coming. there's in telegraph there's a piece in the telegraph today saying the conservative vote eyeing rural bloc, the farmers or thinking twice they're not getting much bang for their buck. they're not getting much bang for their buck . there's they're not getting much bang for their buck. there's going to be huge pressure the be huge pressure from the liberal those liberal democrats in those seats. we that in a lot of seats. we saw that in a lot of by elections . the clock is by elections. the clock is ticking the tories . ticking for the tories. >> agree is a real need

>> i agree there is a real need for the party to do something to turn things around in these rural . let's at rural areas. but let's look at what's in labour run what's happened in labour run wales, example. we've wales, for example. here we've seen top down targets seen again top down targets being imposed on farmers. we've seen , you know, 3000 farmers seen, you know, 3000 farmers last week outside the senate protesting what's going on there. thankfully we haven't seen that yet in england. but it is a wake up call for the conservative government here to is a wake up call for the cormore tive government here to is a wake up call for the cormore toe government here to is a wake up call for the cormore to support|ment here to is a wake up call for the cormore to support them.here to do more to support them. >> although benefit that >> although one benefit of that jordan, that welsh broke jordan, is that the welsh broke out a magnificent choral out to a magnificent choral display. the french say it with fire, the welsh say, via a choir. jordan lee, thank you very much. the nature program manager at the conservative environment network for your time and good luck to all those farmers out there. no farmers, no food. now, can we expect tax cuts in wednesday's spring budget ? will cuts in wednesday's spring budget? will gb news cuts in wednesday's spring budget ? will gb news economics budget? will gb news economics and business editor liam halligan will fill us in after this. i'm martin daubney on gb news. britain's news channel .

welcome back. it's 447. you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news. now the chancellor will deliver his spnng chancellor will deliver his spring budget this wednesday, and jeremy hunt has already been hinting at tax cuts . it will be hinting at tax cuts. it will be a final opportunity , surely, for a final opportunity, surely, for the government to lay out their plans ahead of the next general election . well, joining me now election. well, joining me now in the studio is gb news economics and business editor. the peerless liam halligan, with on the money . liam always on the money. liam always a pleasure. a three letter word ending in x and it gets us quite excited . tax. oh, and there has excited. tax. oh, and there has to be. there has to be surely a tax cut or it's , it's curtains tax cut or it's, it's curtains for the conservatives >> well jeremy hunt has been reining in expectations because up until a few days ago we

thought they were going to be huge tax cuts, really big tax cuts. all the burden , cuts. after all the tax burden, taxes, a share our national taxes, a share of our national incomes, of gross incomes, a share of gross domestic product , the size of domestic product, the size of the economy is at 70 year high, and the tories have just hit a record low in the opinion polls. and a lot of people would say those two things aren't unrelated. a lot of people out there feel the tax burden , not there feel the tax burden, not necessarily because of the headune necessarily because of the headline rate of tax, but because of the freezing of tax thresholds. what we call fiscal drag dragging more and more people as their wages go up into top, higher tax brackets. you know, mid—ranking teacher , a know, mid—ranking teacher, a mid—ranking police officer paying mid—ranking police officer paying a higher rate of income tax that that that's not right. that shouldn't be that way. and yet the tories have relied on these frozen tax thresholds rather than raising the headline rates of tax because they think we're going to somehow be fooled. but they are now looking at headline rates of tax, but also of national insurance too. let's have a look at some of the details. budget, you say,

details. the budget, as you say, martin, the spring budget is on wednesday the 6th of march. this coming wednesday will be a busy day me, certainly. day for me, certainly. and jeremy hunt, the chancellor, he may cut 1 or £0.02 off the main £0.20 in the pound, 20% rate of income tax. but he could cut national insurance instead. and we should discuss the differences . and in order to pay differences. and in order to pay for these tax cuts, because the mandarins in whitehall, the office for budget responsibility, will frown very heavily and things even get leaked to newspapers. i'm not accusing anyone directly, but we all know that it happens unless you pay all know that it happens unless you pay for your tax cuts up front. to take front. so hunt wants to take money off wealthier people by by potentially raising the cost of business class travel, by raising the duty that you pay on a business class fare to a couple of hundred quid, and also diluting the so—called non—dom tax regime. it's a system that allows wealthy foreigners , allows wealthy foreigners, resident but not domiciled in the uk. what's the difference ? the uk. what's the difference? don't ask me. it depends on the

tax lawyers. uh, they so it attracts lots of wealthy people to the uk. george osborne, the chancellor, originally watered that down, making non—doms pay more. labour wants to really make non—doms pay more. jeremy hunt may make them pay slightly more in order to try and close off that labour policy , which, off that labour policy, which, it must be said, is quite popular with us mere mortals who don't have non—dom tax status . don't have non—dom tax status. >> and as i say, it does sound like a like a very labour party policy . they're also after policy. they're also going after smokers and vapers again . smokers again and vapers again. then what's the difference , then what's the difference, though, in terms of people like and understand? they comprehend and understand? they comprehend a tax cut from their income tax. but national insurance is a bit more ephemeral. liam. >> well, national insurance is basically the same as tax . if basically the same as tax. if you look, if you're a paye employee, look at your payslip. they'll say they take that much tax out, they take that much national insurance out tax is 20% or if you earn over 50 20% or 40. if you earn over 50 grand or 45% if you are a high roller and you earn more than

125 grand a year. national insurance the main rate of national insurance, it was 12% on top. it's now 10. that came down in january . now, why would down in january. now, why would hunts go for a national insurance cut rather than a full blooded red meat headline income tax cut? because his advisers can tell people like me and you owe income national insurance. it's the same thing. it's still, you know, comes out your pay. if you know, comes out your pay. if you if we give you a, a cut in your national insurance, it doesn't a doesn't matter if you're a worker, it's off your worker, if it's off your national insurance or your income crucially, income tax. but crucially, pensioners pay income tax on their pensions , landlords pay their pensions, landlords pay income tax on their rent and also so if you cut national insurance, that applies in scotland , but an income tax cut, scotland, but an income tax cut, that would have to come from the scottish government, the snp . so scottish government, the snp. so it's cheaper for a chancellor to do a headline national insurance cut because he isn't giving the same tax to break pensioners and to landlords. well the government will conclude everyone hates landlords anyway. i think that's very unfair

i think that's a very unfair thing but that's what thing to say, but that's what a lot political people assume. lot of political people assume. and they've just given pensioners an assurance that the triple going to remain pensioners an assurance that the tri place, going to remain pensioners an assurance that the tri place, making|g to remain pensioners an assurance that the tri place, making sure remain pensioners an assurance that the tri place, making sure the ain pensioners an assurance that the tri place, making sure the basic in place, making sure the basic state continues to rise state pension continues to rise with earnings, wages or 2.5, whichever is higher. we just saw an 8.5% rise in the basic state pension , or we will have that pension, or we will have that from from april , of course. so from from april, of course. so it's cheaper for him to go for a national insurance rise . and national insurance rise. and he'll hope that most people won't understand the differences between national insurance and income tax . they'll just say income tax. they'll just say it's roughly the same thing. and it's roughly the same thing. and it is roughly the same thing, but not you're pensioner but not if you're a pensioner and landlord, and not if you're a landlord, is the though the the bottom line, though the country kiberd. country is kiberd. >> we're broke of covid. country is kiberd. >> we re broke of covid. country is kiberd. >> we areroke of covid. country is kiberd. >> we are certainly of covid. country is kiberd. >> we are certainly under covid. country is kiberd. >> we are certainly under a ovid. country is kiberd. >> we are certainly under a loti. >> we are certainly under a lot more pressure because of covid. you know, uh, you know, 10 billion, 100 billion for hundred billion, 100 billion for hundred billion, which is what we spent on lockdown. that's very, very serious money indeed. that's more than the government spends in a single year. and it all came out of borrowing . a lot of came out of borrowing. a lot of it came out of printing the money by the way, which is also

on national balance sheet. on the national balance sheet. so certainly , um, so that's certainly, um, undermined our public finances in a major way. and that's one reason also why it's complicated. but productivity is low. taxation is high at 70 year highs. we said the tax burden. >> okay, liam, i have to interject you. we can reflect on you can comment on this because we've got breaking news. we've got some breaking news. peers inflicted their first peers have inflicted their first defeat against the government safety of rwanda bill in backing by 274 votes to 172, a majority of 102 moved to ensure the legislation is fully compliant with domestic and international law. you can see live footage here of that debate in the house of lords. and just to repeat the government has been defeated in the house of lords. we saw that coming weeks and weeks ago here on gb news that vote margin, 274 votes to 172, a majority of 102, and the government has once

again been defeated on rwanda. liam, a quick reaction to you on that quick reaction . that quick reaction. >> this is a headache that sunak didn't need, though it's not unexpected . it's one of his five unexpected. it's one of his five pledges. many would say the most electorally potent of the five pledges to quotes stop the small boats. those five pledges that he made at the beginning of 2023 within the house of lords , the within the house of lords, the unelected upper house of parliament. there are many, certainly liberal democrats , certainly liberal democrats, labour peers, even quite a lot of tory peers who don't like the fact that the government is trying to legislate to establish in its mind that rwanda is a safe place and peers are rejecting that. >> okay. thank you very much, liam halligan. we'll have lots >> okay. thank you very much, liam on.ligan. we'll have lots >> okay. thank you very much, liam on thatl. we'll have lots >> okay. thank you very much, liam on that inve'll have lots >> okay. thank you very much, liam on that in the. have lots >> okay. thank you very much, liam on that in the rest e lots >> okay. thank you very much, liam on that in the rest of ots >> okay. thank you very much, liam on that in the rest of the more on that in the rest of the show. but first, here's your latest . a brighter outlook with latest. a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news.

illegal immigrants? all of that coming up a tasty menu. but first your latest news headlines with polly middlehurst . with polly middlehurst. >> martin, thank you and good evening to you. where we begin this bulletin to bring you more detail on that breaking news we had a short time from had a short time ago from martin. is a setback for martin. there is a setback for the prime minister as the prime minister today as peers house of lords vote peers in the house of lords vote against the government's flagship immigration scheme . we flagship immigration scheme. we can show you live pictures coming to us from the house of lords today , where there has lords today, where there has been the first of a series of votes on amendments the votes on amendments to the safety rwanda bill. well, safety of rwanda bill. well, within last minutes, we within the last 15 minutes, we can tell you 274 voted against it, 172. that is a majority of 102, nearly 50 amendments were put forward with a number of votes expected today and on wednesday. and among those, the government's assessment that rwanda is a safe country for asylum seekers and the whole thing coming almost two years

after ministers first announced their plan to send some migrants to the east african country, we'll have you more analysis on that outcome of the house of lords vote on the rwanda bill throughout the rest of the day, right here on gp news. meanwhile, gb news understands around 330 migrants were intercepted crossing the english channel today in six small boats. that's after 327 made the crossing yesterday . and that was crossing yesterday. and that was the same day. a seven year old girl died after a boat capsized. she'd been travelling with her pregnant mother. her father and three siblings when a boat got into difficulty in the early hours of yesterday morning . now hours of yesterday morning. now the chancellor says he wants to move the uk to a lower taxed economy, but will only do so in a responsible way . jeremy hunt a responsible way. jeremy hunt made the comments while visiting a new digital engineering plant in wiltshire, where he also announced a £360 million funding boost for manufacturing . income boost for manufacturing. income tax has reached a historic high and while some promising cuts,

some are promising cuts, the chancellor has been trying to temper expectations ahead of wednesday's budget . wednesday's budget. >> but we do want to move to a lower taxed economy. but we're only going to do so in a way thatis only going to do so in a way that is responsible and recognises that there are things that taxes pay for that we couldn't cut taxes by borrowing . couldn't cut taxes by borrowing. we'll do so in a responsible way . but if we can spend money on pubuc . but if we can spend money on public services more efficiently , then that will mean less pressure on taxpayers . pressure on taxpayers. >> charles rae jeremy hunt will the former home secretary, dame priti patel, told gb news the government also needs to be more efficient when it comes to spending . spending. >> we have over 500,000 civil servants now even to shave a degree off, that would cut pubuc degree off, that would cut public expenditure by at least £1 billion and that would be great. back again in 2010, 2016, we had under, i think, around 400,000 civil servants, and that saved a significant amount, amount of money, the spending,

the costs alone , i think, came the costs alone, i think, came down to something like £11 billion. this is where we have to be again, to be an agile government that's fit in the sense of financially sound, sound money, conservative principles. but actually making sure the public keep more of their their money. dame priti patel, now newly elected rochdale mp george galloway , has rochdale mp george galloway, has been sworn into parliament today by almighty god that i will be faithful and bear true allegiance to his majesty king charles, his heirs and successoi’s. >> successors. >> according to law. so help me god . god. >> the workers party of britain leader pledging allegiance there to the king as part of the ceremony. he was accompanied by alba party mp neale hanvey and conservative mp sir peter bottomley, the father of the house. mr galloway won last week's by—election in rochdale by more than 5500 votes. stand at a very dangerous crossroads in our country's affairs,

perhaps as dangerous as any since the summer and autumn of 1940 41. >> and there's no mr churchill in this picture . there is no in this picture. there is no one, it seems , able to step one, it seems, able to step forward and steady the ship of state and begin to rally , unite state and begin to rally, unite our people, uh, to face what is a very difficult future . a very difficult future. >> george galloway , now >> george galloway, now education leaders are calling for a double digit pay rise for all teachers across england . all teachers across england. it's after the government said school salaries should return to a more reasonable level. the national association of head teachers union says england currently has the highest number of unfilled teaching positions in over a decade. it says a raise of at least 10% will counter the recruitment and retention crisis . and finally , retention crisis. and finally, the rnli is celebrating the fact

that it saved more than 146,000 lives as it marks its 200th anniversary. the duke of kent was among those to attend a service of thanksgiving at westminster abbey today, during which the archbishop of canterbury praised the staff as models for everyone who risked their lives for people they don't know. the royal national lifeboat institution was originally founded in a london pub in 1824 as a service to save ships from crashing into coastlines . for the very latest coastlines. for the very latest stories, do sign up for gp news alerts. scan the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. common alerts . alerts. >> thank you paul coyte. now who could have predicted this? well me and everyone who knows anything about the house of lords because the house of lords has once again voted against the rwanda bill, yet peers have

defeated the government's flagship immigration policy with a majority of 102. you can see live pictures there of the aftermath, the gloating , no aftermath, the gloating, no doubt, and this will come as a huge setback for the prime minister who was hoping to get planes off the tarmac as soon as possible. if you believe that, you believe in santa. well, joining me now in the studio is our political correspondent, olivia utley olivia. the laws are revolting with abject and utter predictability. and once again , sunak has been sunk. utter predictability. and once again , sunak has been sunk . yet again, sunak has been sunk. yet another humiliating defeat. >> well, yeah, this is a huge setback for the government over the next couple of days, the lords are debating some amendments put forward by fellow peers. >> all of which are designed to try and essentially soften the rwanda bill to make it impossible for the rwanda plan to pass as rishi sunak wanted it to pass as rishi sunak wanted it to the amendment, which has just been voted on, is about essentially adds a clause to the bill saying it must maintain

compliance with international law, which arguably at the moment, as it stands with out the treaty, there's a treaty as well which needs to be fulfilled. it doesn't . so we're fulfilled. it doesn't. so we're going to get a series of these amendments next 48 amendments over the next 48 hours. and each one we are expecting a government defeat along the lines of this. now, the government defeat today , the government defeat today, just now is 274 to 172, which is up from january, when it was 214, plus 171. and from what i'm hearing, it sounds as though all of these there are five amendments over the next 48 hours, all of the same kind. they are all, by the sounds of it, going to be lost by the government. now that doesn't mean over for mean that it's all over for the government. apparently the whipping operation, the people government. apparently the whipcontrolyeration, the people government. apparently the whipcontrol discipline ie people government. apparently the whipcontrol discipline in3eople government. apparently the whipcontrol discipline in theyle government. apparently the whipcontrol discipline in the on who control discipline in the on in the government ranks are saying that they want to save the fight until a couple of weeks time when the bill comes back to the to the house of commons. so instead of a bit complicated, but instead of trying to whip peers,

conservative vote conservative peers to vote against, to vote for the bill today , they're going to wait today, they're going to wait until back to the until it gets back to the commons opportunity commons and use that opportunity to back. optics not to fight back. but optics not good at all. you see, these huge defeats in the house of lords and it looks as though the wind has gone from sunak sails, even if the government then the house of commons then votes down these amendments that have been put forward by lords, we forward by the lords, which we are expecting. it's all are now all expecting. it's all going to take quite a lot of time. the idea is that if the government gets everything on its way and i think we can assume that's pretty unlikely , assume that's pretty unlikely, then the government could end up voting through the rwanda bill on the 20th of march. that's the date i've been told. but if all of these amendments get voted down by the commons and then you could technically see flights taking off to rwanda before the 26th of march, and that date is very important because the 26th of march is the final date, which rishi sunak could call a may election at. so the theory

is the government could be geanng is the government could be gearing something along gearing up for something along those . those lines. >> if did that, it >> surely if it did that, it would a turkey voting for would be a turkey voting for christmas. this revolt was led by lord goldsmith , who of course by lord goldsmith, who of course was tony blair's attorney general during the iraq war. not the best morals. perhaps. there and lord carlisle , who basically and lord carlisle, who basically was lord remain in this, was the labour peers and the liberal democrat peers . and of course, democrat peers. and of course, a lot of the tory more wet peers clubbing together , um, putting a clubbing together, um, putting a humiliating defeat to rishi sunak. humiliating defeat to rishi sunak . and earlier on in the sunak. and earlier on in the lords , kenneth clarke, lord lords, kenneth clarke, lord clarke, as he is now, of course, saying irrespective of what happens , they will take this to happens, they will take this to the supreme court. if the government should should win, which looks doubtful at present. it seems that once again olivier echoes of brexit. there i say it. groundhog day , the machinery it. groundhog day, the machinery of the institution, of the establishment setting out to defeat the government of the day

, to delay the public, the voters desire to control our borders. rwanda might not be perfect , but it's a solution to perfect, but it's a solution to a problem which the entire establishment olivier seems to want to torpedo . want to torpedo. >> well, i think there definitely are echoes of brexit here. it does feel a little bit as though the final days of theresa may's government are upon us again. um, critics of the rwanda bill have argued a lot that it is incredibly expensive . lviv. and that is the expensive. lviv. and that is the reason that some peers are giving for voting it down. and that is, of course, absolutely right. estimates are that , uh, right. estimates are that, uh, eventually we could end up giving over half £1 billion to rwanda. we've already spent £240 million, pounds and we're promising to give them another 120 million when the first 300 migrants have been deported . the migrants have been deported. the government has been arguing that that's not really the point . the that's not really the point. the point is it's supposed to be a deterrent , ant. and the idea is deterrent, ant. and the idea is that if you know you're going to

be sent to rwanda immediately , be sent to rwanda immediately, then you won't try then you won't. you won't try and come here in the first place. i've spoken to quite a lot of conservative mps who are broadly in favour of the rwanda plan . they're not sort of plan. they're not sort of morally against it. plan. they're not sort of morally against it . they're not morally against it. they're not like the ken clarke's of the world, but they can't really understand why rishi sunak has set so much store by this particular plan. if you actually look at the figures, the prime minister has done a pretty good job last year of bringing down the number of people who are crossing on boats. of crossing on boats. that is, of course, partly to the course, partly due to the weather, do with weather, but also to do with a deal which agreed with the deal which he agreed with the albanian minister. has albanian prime minister. he has done work, instead done some good work, but instead of about that good of shouting about that good work, of put all his work, he sort of put all his eggs the basket of this eggs in the basket of this rwanda means he rwanda plan, which means that he has of set himself has he has sort of set himself up kind humiliating up for the kind of humiliating defeat been defeat that we've been discussing, which some people think that suggests he's think that suggests that he's just good at politics. just not very good at politics. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> utley elm-- elm-— >> olivia utley all his eggs in one well, now he's got a one basket. well, now he's got a major amount of egg on his face. thanks the thanks for joining us in the studio joining now is studio and joining us now is political peter political commentator peter

spencen political commentator peter spencer. peter um, all spencer. peter um, we all predicted that the lords would be revolting . we all predicted be revolting. we all predicted you didn't have to be mystic.meg to work out that it would be torpedoed and holed below the waterline. goldsmith , tony waterline. lord goldsmith, tony blair's old crony, lord carlisle, lord remain. they banded together right from the start and now they've inflicted what can only be described as a humiliating and crushing defeat on rishi sunak. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> and of course, when it comes back to the house of lords , they back to the house of lords, they will back to the house of commons to beg your pardon. they will before all these will simply, before all these amendments send it back in amendments and send it back in its original form. >> however , in the meantime, >> however, in the meantime, what happens is as a as a spotlight on divisions within the conservative party as much as anything else on this very subject, i mean, i note that there were some impassioned speeches this afternoon, including one from the uncle of the tory peer , uncle of a the tory peer, uncle of a serving minister there, um, who compared the government's approach to this whole problem

with the fascist author in george orwell's dystopia novel, 1984. >> i mean , that's pretty heady, >> i mean, that's pretty heady, powerful stuff . powerful stuff. >> yeah , yeah, but you could >> yeah, yeah, but you could also say that there are much there are equally comparable dystopian controls of orwell and thought patterns happening on the streets of britain elsewhere. but back to the point in question, this is a joined up campaign , isn't it? um, between campaign, isn't it? um, between lord labour peers, between lib dem peers, between even tory remainer peers, to just inflict humility and begs the question once again , peter, are we seeing once again, peter, are we seeing the good old days, the bad old days of brexit, where the laws just just line up to frustrate the commons round and round we 90, the commons round and round we go, and the british public will be scratching their heads and thinking what's the point of the lords if all they do is frustrate commons ? frustrate the commons? >> mean, the function of >> well, i mean, the function of the lords is to act as a revising chamber to any

legislation that comes from the house of commons and sometimes they revise it in a very sensible and helpful way. and changes to the bill in ways which mitigate the problems which mitigate the problems which we still own sake. but what they are trying to do is to is to highlight the divisions of opinion on this very subject. and you mentioned the echoes of brexit. most certainly so. but then, then again, that brings into very sharp focus the hideous divisions in the tory party, to the point that it practically splits down the middle and, and this is going to leave the general public. i would suspect, thinking, look, the problem with the tory party is it isn't even a party. all it doesis is it isn't even a party. all it does is fight itself. what's it got to do with the rest of us? and extent, then and to that extent, i then mention an ipsos, a poll for the evening standard. a day or so back in which it suggested that the public opinion has turned so far against the conservative government that at the next election they might end up with not a single mp at all.

welcome back. it's 522. you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news now. george galloway has appealed to jeremy to corbyn form an alliance of the remaining socialists in the country . he called on the former country. he called on the former labour leader to make a formal break with his party, saying he should lead a movement and not waste the considerable support that he has. well, i'm delighted to say i'm joined in the studio now by george eaton, who's a senior political editor at the new statesman. george always a pleasure . they were colleagues pleasure. they were colleagues in the past . pleasure. they were colleagues in the past. in fact, when galloway was evicted from the labour party, it was jeremy corbyn who campaigned, lobbied for him to get back in. they share a lot of politics. the question now moving forward, could they form a rump of an alliance ? alliance? >> well, i think the truth is there is already an alliance of sorts , as you say, because they sorts, as you say, because they are both figures on the radical left who have a history of working together in the stop the war movement . war movement. >> it's. and who were

colleagues, labour colleagues . colleagues, labour colleagues. >> george galloway was thrown out of the labour party in 2003, but had been an mp from 1987, so they have a shared history now where where this goes next? >> george galloway has his new party, the workers party, which is standing candidates . i don't is standing candidates. i don't expect jeremy to corbyn join them. >> there's been some speculation i >> -- >> ian might he go for the london mayoralty ? london mayoralty? >> i think it's too late for that now, isn't north. >> he's dropped a lot of hints that he will fight to keep his old seat . uh, labour still old seat. uh, labour still haven't selected a candidate there, so it's not clear who he'd be up against. >> but i think that he's. >> but i think that he's. >> he sees that as the as the big opportunity. >> but for george galloway what he wants is he's won by—election victories in the past and he's often ended up then losing at the general election. >> he will want this time to be different. he'll want to keep rochdale to have rochdale, but also to have others who cause a political upset because then, rather than , upset because then, rather than, uh, george galloway solo

victory, he can be the figurehead for a new anti—war movement that that causes real problems for labour. >> and george galloway today at parliament was very bold . of parliament was very bold. of course, you'd expect that 60 seats, says he's got in his seats, he says he's got in his crosshairs, one of which, angela rayner's 3000 majority. um, there are 20 seats, at least. we identified last week was a very disproportion . large number of disproportion. large number of muslim voters that could be an other battlefront. but is the common goal the common shared history, if you like, of galloway and corbyn, the fact they don't like keir starmer . they don't like keir starmer. could this be an opportunity to inflict damage on the left, the same way the reform party perhaps, is hoping to do on the right? i think george galloway would would love that, and that's why he's making overtures to jeremy corbyn. >> i think important to >> but i think it's important to say there are significant differences between them. >> george a much >> uh, george galloway a much more conservative more socially conservative figure for jeremy corbyn, uh, much more, uh, socially liberal.

uh, george galloway was an open supporter of, of brexit. uh, jeremy corbyn is not a, not a not a brexiteer though you are a sceptic. um but in terms of corbyn was a brexiteer . corbyn was a brexiteer. >> but i'll let that slide go on. >> but in terms of how it how it plays out, i think here's, here's the big question is how much of an issue will gaza be at the general election. certainly true that discontent true that there's discontent among voters, discontent among muslim voters, discontent among muslim voters, discontent among , um, among muslim voters, discontent among, um, white among muslim voters, discontent among , um, white voters among muslim voters, discontent among, um, white voters as well . among, um, white voters as well. um, but at the general election, people often vote on the core issues. so the nhs , the economy , issues. so the nhs, the economy, um, immigration will be a big issue for some now. i think it will be a potent issue in some constituencies. but whether that translates into actually translates into labour actually losing seats , i think is an losing more seats, i think is an open question . what it will do, open question. what it will do, it change atmosphere of it will change the atmosphere of the uh , a lot the campaign because, uh, a lot of labour campaign events, you will have a significant , uh, will have a significant, uh, protest, the presence, it will just make the whole campaign a bit, uh, a bit darker for, for laboun bit, uh, a bit darker for, for labour. you're not going have

labour. you're not going to have necessarily this, this the sense of, euphoria you had of, say, euphoria that you had in and do think that the >> and do you think that the muslim vote, the sectarianism as nigel farage called it, could be a factor? or is it is it a momentary thing ? so. so the gaza momentary thing? so. so the gaza wars come in a by—election, land at the right times . you know, at the right times. you know, galloway has tried before in batley, in spain. he failed because he didn't have the wind in of this, this in his sails of this, this uprise , if you were that uprise, if you like, were that momentum carry forward or , or is momentum carry forward or, or is it about more than just the wall now. is it about identifying a muslim voter bloc specifically catering for their needs , catering for their needs, getting organised locally, rallying and becoming a significant political force, moving forward? >> well, i think as you suggest, there were some unique things about the, the, the rochdale by—election. uh, most obviously that labour didn't have a have an official candidate . and the an official candidate. and the campaign also coincided with, uh, one of the most intense penods uh, one of the most intense periods of the of the war in gaza and renewed calls for , for

gaza and renewed calls for, for a ceasefire. now, i think on that issue, a lot hinges on do we is there a ceasefire before the, uh, the general election ? the, uh, the general election? um, it also hinges in part on, on on how labour's uh, position evolves and what other issues, um, come to come, come to dominate. now clearly there are some voters for whom this is going to be a top issue at the general election. they will never forgive. um labour for this . um, but never forgive. um labour for this. um, but i wouldn't suggest that it's going to cause serious 5, that it's going to cause serious s, uh, electoral problems for labour because i think by elections are often protest votes. and i think when you come to general election, people to the general election, people are be saying, do we are going to be saying, do we want government want a conservative government or a labour one? i think that's the that dominate the question that will dominate and ask and george, can i quickly ask you the thumping defeat you about the thumping defeat we've just witnessed in the house on the rwanda house of lords on the rwanda bill, 274 votes to 172, a majority of 102, a revolt led by lord goldsmith tony blair's former attorney general , lord former attorney general, lord carlile, lord remain and

alliance gathering together , alliance gathering together, inflicting another humiliating defeat for rishi sunak. >> yes , yes, although i imagine >> yes, yes, although i imagine the conservatives will try and turn this to their advantage by saying, look , it's sort of saying, look, it's sort of unelected, unelected peers who are trying to stop us getting this, this, this bill through. >> but on on rwanda , the >> but on on rwanda, the political truth is that rishi sunak and his team want a fight. the general election on, on, on the economy. so they will want to this through as soon to get this bill through as soon as possible . uh, not least so as possible. uh, not least so that that they can possibly get the first flight to rwanda taking off before the general election whenever it comes. >> a lot of people, george, are saying the labour party have voted against every method of taking back control of our borders . a deep frustrated about borders. a deep frustrated about that. borders. a deep frustrated about that . and they're starting to that. and they're starting to view the labour party as a party of open borders. what would your response to be that? >> so i think on, on, on immigration, i mean, labour are very labour certainly would do not want to be seen as the party of open borders. i mean, they

have repeatedly have said repeatedly that we will not bring back free movement. question that movement. the open question that you suggest is, is, is what would alternative to would their alternative to rwanda now ? i think they've rwanda be now? i think they've got, , a critique of it. they got, uh, a critique of it. they say, look, it's been hugely expensive. hasn't even expensive. there hasn't even been a flight. um , it's been a flight. and, um, it's there are also issues with the with the legality . they're with the legality. they're looking at, uh, some returns deal with, with europe. now that's not something i'll be able to agree before the, uh, before the general election, but they're on government. but that's the i think is the, the political space that they're hoping to claim. but they hoping to claim. but if they do a deal brussels and a deal with brussels and brussels, want their banks scratching , and that could mean scratching, and that could mean taking to 100,000 people from taking up to 100,000 people from the european into us . the european union into us. >> be a net >> so that would be a net disaster for controlling our borders, not? i think borders, would it not? i think they're think i think they they're i think i think they there are practical questions, but i think their basic their bafic but i think their basic their basic view is that you need you need international cooperation on than , uh, on this rather than, uh, something that's more, more , something that's more, more, more divisive in the, in the way

rwanda is. >> more fundamentally , look, >> but more fundamentally, look, i think the, the problem for the conservatives is as much as they can try and exploit labour's ambiguity on, on, on immigration, the economy is still is still the top issue for voters. okay, superb , sir. voters. okay, superb, sir. >> thank you forjoining us. >> thank you for joining us. george eaton, senior political editor at the new statesman, always pleasure. thanks always a pleasure. thanks for coming lots more coming in. now still lots more to on today's show. to come on today's show. and don't you join nigel don't forget you can join nigel farage and michelle for farage and michelle dewberry for a in whitehaven. a budget special in whitehaven. scan code on your screen scan the qr code on your screen and you could join them in the studio to take part in that show. there's that qr code now hoved into view. let us know your thoughts on all of our talking points today. of course. email us at gb views at gb news. com but now it's time for your latest news headlines with polly middlehurst . the top stories middlehurst. the top stories this hour, the prime minister has suffered his first setback in the house of lords , which has in the house of lords, which has voted against his flagship

gaza, there, there must be an immediate ceasefire well downing street has said that their position is entirely aligned with the us and that they agree that they want to see a sustained humanitarian pause, but that the right conditions must be in place for a lasting ceasefire, including the release of all hostages and hamas to be no longer in charge of gaza. well, i'm joined now by colonel richard kemp, former british army commander , who's always army commander, who's always a pleasure and an expert on this topic. colonel kemp. well, the last time we spoke, you said that the people who would be the most happy about a ceasefire will be hamas. most happy about a ceasefire will be hamas . and now we have will be hamas. and now we have kamala harris joining the likes of the un red cross and south africa . i'm afraid colonel kemp africa. i'm afraid colonel kemp will have to come back to you soon, because now we have to cross live to president trump . cross live to president trump. >> what was the leading candidate or a candidate that was, well , now president trump was, well, now president trump on totem pole. you cannot on the totem pole. you cannot take somebody out of a race. the

voters can take the person out of the race very quickly. but a court shouldn't be doing that. and the supreme court saw that very well . and i really do very well. and i really do believe that will be a unified factor, because while most states were thrilled to have me , states were thrilled to have me, there were some that didn't and they didn't want that for political reasons. they didn't want that because the poll numbers, because the poll numbers, because the poll numbers are very good. we're uh, beating president biden in almost every poll . new york almost every poll. new york times came out yesterday with a very big poll for us. so they they didn't like that. and you can't do that. you can't do what they tried to do. and hopefully colorado , as an example, will colorado, as an example, will unify. i know there's tremendous support. they've they've brought our support up very strong in colorado because people thought people in colorado thought that was a terrible thing that they did. and while we're on the subject and another thing that will be coming up very soon will be immunity for a president and not immunity for me, but for any

president. if a president doesn't have full immunity , you doesn't have full immunity, you really don't have a president because is nobody that is serving in that office will have the courage to make , in many the courage to make, in many cases, what would be the right decision, or it could be the wrong decision . it could be, in wrong decision. it could be, in some cases, the wrong decision. but they have make decisions but they have to make decisions and to make them free and they have to make them free of all terror that can be reigned upon them when they leave office, or even before they leave office. and some decisions are very tough, i can tell you that as a president that some decisions to make are very tough. i took out isis and itook very tough. i took out isis and i took out some very big people from the standpoint of a different part of the world, uh, to of the leading terrorists, probably the two leading terrorists ever that we've ever seen in this world. and uh, those are big decisions. i don't want to be prosecuted for it . want to be prosecuted for it. uh, another president wouldn't

want to be prosecuted for it. it had a tremendously positive impact. it stopped everything cold. and sometimes you have to make they were tough decisions . make they were tough decisions. sometimes you have to make decisions like that. when you make a decision, you don't want to your opposing party or to have your opposing party or opponent or even somebody that just thinks wrong. bring just thinks you're wrong. bring a criminal suit against you or any kind of a suit when you leave office. i have right leave office. i have that right now that nobody's now at a level that nobody's ever seen before. i have rogue prosecutors and i have rogue judges. i have judges that are out of control . and it's a very out of control. and it's a very unfair thing for me. but serving perhaps as a sample to others of what should not be happening when you make good decisions and in my case, the economy was great. we didn't go into any wars. we totally defeated isis. we provided the largest tax cuts in history. we provided the largest regulation cuts in history . but largest regulation cuts in history. but think of it, no wars . we beat isis 100% of the

wars. we beat isis 100% of the caliphate and there were no wars. we did a job that was great, but maybe i wouldn't have done that. the caliphate defeating them was a very powerful. it was going to take four years. it took me four months, but it was a very strong , uh, dictum that i gave. i said, get them, defeat them , end said, get them, defeat them, end it. we were fighting for 20 years against isis , and we did years against isis, and we did it very quickly. i don't want to be prosecuted. in that case, it worked out very well. there will be some things that perhaps don't work out so well, but i don't work out so well, but i don't want to be prosecuted or prosecuted because i decided to do something that is very much for the good of the country and actually for the good of the world. a president shouldn't have that on his mind, and he has to have a free and clear mind when he makes very big decisions or it's going to be nothing more than a ceremonial post. you'll be president, it'll be wonderful thing, and you won't do anything because you don't be hit by your

don't want to be hit by your opponent or hit by somebody else , because who wants to leave office and go through what i've gone through. being gone through. i'm being prosecuted by beau biden my opponent, because every one of these things, whether it's fannie willis or brag, these are local and state, but they're in total coordination with the white house. you can't do that. it shouldn't be done . done. i it shouldn't be done. done. i mean, a thing like that in the case of the da's office, they put one of the top people, maybe the second person in in the manhattan da's office to get trump . they had a hillary trump. they had a hillary clinton lawyer to leave the law firm very prestigious, big law firm, leave the law firm to go into the da's office to get trump . pomeranz. mr pomeranz. into the da's office to get trump . pomeranz. mr pomeranz . so trump. pomeranz. mr pomeranz. so he goes to in become a prosecutor, worked for the democrat party and hillary clinton goes in to prosecute donald trump at a local level in total coordination with the

department of justice, meaning biden . and then you have the biden. and then you have the fannie willis, or as she would say, fannie . funny, fannie , but say, fannie. funny, fannie, but fannie and she hired somebody new, the person long before this horrible prosecution took place. and she went out and she paid him an unbelievable amount of money, more money than he ever dreamt possible. much more money than other people that are that do that for a living. he never did it at all, had no experience in it at all. and they had obviously a conflict. we don't have to go into that. but they were able to get a lot of money because there was a high profile person. me, i'm very high person. me, i'm a very high profile person, so they were able pay him close to $1 able to pay him close to $1 million he was not equipped million when he was not equipped to do the job. and she's not equipped to the job. and that equipped to do the job. and that case should end immediately. that so conflicted. that case is so conflicted. nobody's like nobody's ever seen anything like it. then you have deranged it. and then you have deranged jack smith, who's a trump hater and represents all the trump

haters and he's going wild. he's just a wild man. he's been overturned unanimously by the supreme court, went after other people over the years. he's had great failure, but he's mean. he's nasty, he's unfair and the judges on these cases, they're all trump haters other than we have maybe 1 or 2 that i think can be fair . have maybe 1 or 2 that i think can be fair. but you look at new york, what's happened? i mean these people have tremendous hatred. you can't do this to a president. and again , i'm not president. and again, i'm not talking about me. i'm talking aboutin talking about me. i'm talking about in the future, a president has to be free. a president has to be. if the president does a good job, i did. some people would say a great job, but if the president does a good job, a president should be free and clear and frankly celebrated for having done a good job, not indicted four times and not gone after on a civil basis and not, uh , demanded to be to pay uh, demanded to be to pay hundreds of millions of dollars

in fines on something that was absolutely perfect, where there were no victims , where the were no victims, where the financial statements were absolutely flawless , where you absolutely flawless, where you have disclaimer clauses . i mean, have disclaimer clauses. i mean, nobody's ever had a thing like this. i wasn't given a jury, and i had a clubhouse judge just come up with this number on a perfect loan and very conservative financial statements. but even at that, if you look, the disclaimer says, don't rely on the financial statements in any way, shape or form. go out and do your own work. the bank in question had the most sophisticated lawyers in the world, frankly, a very top one of the top law firms anywhere in the country, and they can defend themselves. what guys like brag and letitia james and fannie and deranged jack smith. what they should be doing is fighting violent crime and that would lead me to the end. i will say that president biden

number one, stop weaponizing asian fight your fight yourself . asian fight your fight yourself. don't use prosecutors and judges to go after your opponent to try and damage your opponent so you can win an election . our country can win an election. our country is much bigger than that . the is much bigger than that. the other thing i say to president biden close the borders . now biden close the borders. now this is not sustainable for our country . it's not sustainable country. it's not sustainable for our cities , our country is for our cities, our country is under siege. this is a violent thing that you've done , and many thing that you've done, and many people are dying . many, many people are dying. many, many people are dying. many, many people are dying. they die in the trip up. they die going through the border and they die in our country. but many of the people coming up are from prisons and jails , from many prisons and jails, from many institutions and insane asylum . institutions and insane asylum. many are terrorists. you see it? many, many are terrorists . and i

many, many are terrorists. and i believe the real number that we have right now is probably closer to 15 million people. and by the time the tirm ends, i believe the president's terms ends.i believe the president's terms ends . i believe you'll be at ends. i believe you'll be at close to 20 million people. that's almost larger than any state in the union. our country. it is not sustainable . many of it is not sustainable. many of these people are tough . many of these people are tough. many of these people are tough. many of these people are bad. they come from some of the roughest countries in the world and some of the roughest prisons . we have of the roughest prisons. we have prisons in the congo , in africa prisons in the congo, in africa coming . we have people coming coming. we have people coming from all parts of the middle east. they're coming from yemen. and yet you are bombing yemen and you have to stop . you have and you have to stop. you have to close the border. you have absolute authorisation. you don't need congress. i had the safest border in the history of our we and i didn't use our country. we and i didn't use congress for it. and then i built hundreds of miles of wall. and the reason i built it and how i built it was i considered

it an invasion of our country. and i took the money from the military the corps of military and the army corps of engineers did it with me, and we did a great job. and we had the safest border we've ever had. and now we have the most unsafe border anywhere in the world at any time. never been any time. there's never been a border like this at any country, anywhere in the world. they would with sticks would have fought with sticks and stop the horrible and stones to stop the horrible situation that's occurring . our situation that's occurring. our people can't stand it, and the people can't stand it, and the people coming in really can't stand it because they're dying. many are dying on the trip up, and they're dying in the country and they're dying in the country and also many of the people are criminals, and they're doing tremendous harm. i call it my crime. it's migrant crime . it's crime. it's migrant crime. it's a new category of crime . they're a new category of crime. they're hurting our country horribly , hurting our country horribly, and we've become a laughing stock all over the world. so i say respectfully to president biden, you have the authorisation right now. i did it . i didn't authorisation right now. i did it. i didn't go to authorisation right now. i did it . i didn't go to congress and it. i didn't go to congress and say , do i have the right to

say, do i have the right to close? i fought congress on it, closed the borders. you can do it right now. you have everything i use my policies, my policies were great. everybody said it . i use policies were great. everybody said it. i use my policies. so just to finish, i have great respect for the supreme court and i want to just thank them for working. so quickly and so diligently and so brilliantly . diligently and so brilliantly. and again, this is a unifying factor. everybody now is together and they can go after me as a politician. they can go after me with votes, but they're not going to go after me with that kind of lawsuit that takes somebody out of a race who's leading in this case. but even if the person wasn't leading , if the person wasn't leading, and i want to thank you all for being here. do we have any questions? yes mr president, uh, the poll numbers are massive for you going into super tuesday, we found that a lot of people that were agnostic to politics in general see these legal cases

against you. >> they see what how life was back under a trump. >> okay . and that was donald >> okay. and that was donald trump speaking after the supreme court overturn . and it struck court overturn. and it struck down the colorado ruling , if you down the colorado ruling, if you recall, was designed to prevent trump from being allowed to stand in the primaries as a candidate. the supreme court has struck that down, meaning donald trump can stand as a candidate. and as you'd imagine , he's been and as you'd imagine, he's been very magnana joyous in his victory . and that was in victory. and that was in florida. he talked about how he defeated isis, about how he destroyed the terror threat. he also talked about the chaos on the border. at present. he turned his guns at this point, of course, on joe biden. he talked about criminals coming over the border , some from over the border, some from insane asylums. he then went to on talk about what he called a new type of crime migrant crime.

and we've spoken in the past on gb news about many times as many, they think, as 11 million have come over the border since joe biden has been president. donald trump still taking questions there from the press. he says these policies, joe biden is hurting our country horribly. he then went on to say, our country is a laughing stock . we are internationally stock. we are internationally a laughing stock. and then he urged, just to add insult to injury to joe biden , he urged injury to joe biden, he urged joe biden to close the borders, close the borders immediately, he said, to save america. and he even goaded him , saying, use my even goaded him, saying, use my policies, use my policies to get this job done. and his final comment before he took questions was he ranted against the judicial system , the courts judicial system, the courts trying to get him taken down. um, he feels obviously that the entire legal system has been

weaponized against him . he said, weaponized against him. he said, go after me with votes , clearly go after me with votes, clearly saying, if you believe i should be taken down, if you don't like what i for, stand that's fine. but put me on the ticket. let's have this out electorally . have this out electorally. democratically. don't weaponize the courts to take me down. just capping . finally, donald trump, capping. finally, donald trump, um, speaking there in florida, the supreme court striking down the supreme court striking down the colorado ruling to remove trump from the ballots , he now trump from the ballots, he now will be allowed to stand on that ballot. huge news in american politics. we'll have all of course , throughout the rest of course, throughout the rest of the year before november the 5th. now, i'll be back tomorrow 3 to 6 pm. but after this obe michelle dewberry dewbs& co 6 to 7. thanks for your company. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb
