uk to being low tax economy, uk to being a low tax economy, but so in a but will only do so in a responsible way . jeremy. jeremy responsible way. jeremy. jeremy hunt made the comments while visiting a new digital engineering plant in wiltshire , engineering plant in wiltshire, where he also announced a £360 million funding boost for manufacturing . income tax has manufacturing. income tax has reached a historic high, and while he's promised some cuts, the chancellor has been trying to manage expectations ahead of a budget . on wednesday and the a budget. on wednesday and the newly elected rochdale mp george galloway has been sworn into parliament today. galloway has been sworn into parliament today . the workers. parliament today. the workers. >> almighty god, that i will be the workers party of britain, lead pledging allegiance to the king as part of that ceremony. >> mr galloway won last week's by—election by more than 5500 votes, and, speaking today, he said it is my job to make sure rochdale is great again . and in rochdale is great again. and in the united states, donald trump has cleared another hurdle in his bid for the us presidency after the supreme court victory for him there. the ruling meant

the republican candidate will now appear on the ballot in tuesday's colorado primary. the justices in that state unanimously reversing a decision by colorado to exclude him from the ballot following accusations about the capitol riots in 2021. speaking in palm beach , florida, speaking in palm beach, florida, donald trump thanked the supreme court . thank you. court. thank you. >> essentially, you cannot take somebody out of a race because an opponent would like to have it that way. the voters can take the person out of the race very quickly, but . a court shouldn't quickly, but. a court shouldn't be doing that. and the supreme court saw that very well. and i really do believe that will be a unifying because while unifying factor, because while most states were thrilled to have me, there were some that didn't . and they didn't want didn't. and they didn't want that for political reasons. they didn't want that because the poll numbers, because the poll numbers very good. we're, numbers are very good. we're, uh, beating president biden in almost every poll . almost every poll. >> donald trump speaking after that us supreme court decision

in well, that's the latest news for the latest stories. do sign up for gb news alerts. scan the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. comma shirts. >> good evening. >> good evening. >> now, as you all know , we are >> now, as you all know, we are regulated by ofcom . never had a regulated by ofcom. never had a problem with that until this morning. and a press release comes out from ofcom saying whether farage gb news or jake berry talk tv broke due impartial rules and rules preventing politicians acting as news presenters. that is their latest investigation . now i'm latest investigation. now i'm going to respond to that by saying this to begin with. sir jake berry was until recently a cabinet minister is still an elected member of parliament. he is by any definition, a politician , and there are rules politician, and there are rules about politicians broadcast in this country. they cannot broadcast on breaking news

stories , but they're perfectly stories, but they're perfectly to free do commentary and debate . so i'm being classed in with jake berry . but here's the jake berry. but here's the point. i've not held elected office now for three years. i'm not a candidate for any party. i may be honorary president of reform, but i have no executive or fiduciary responsibility at all. i'm not an activist . i all. i'm not an activist. i haven't been i'm not wanted to in some ways, but i haven't been up at the by elections. i haven't been doing press conferences. i not conferences. i am not a politician even when i'm a celebrity. get me out of here, the biggest tv show in britain had up their ex—politician , had up their ex—politician, varne and gb news presenter. and isn't it funny that every week there are acres of speculation in the newspapers will farage return to politics so they can't have it both ways ? if the whole have it both ways? if the whole of the media industry that right politics and current affairs think i'm currently not in politics. ofcom you have got this wrong and i would point out

that this is tonight is the 550th episode of farage. we have never had a single complaint upheld against this programme for due impartiality or indeed for due impartiality or indeed for anything else . so why now? for anything else. so why now? why two and a half years into this job, have ofcom decided to do this? could it be something to do with the fact there is an election this year and perhaps there's a bit of establishment pressure being put on the regulator? i don't know, but i'll tell you what folks , you i'll tell you what folks, you want to come and pick a fight with i'm any time you with me. i'm ready any time you like. okay moving on from that . like. okay moving on from that. well, i've been hinting for some weeks. it's very difficult when you're when you're brought casting during by elections, you're of purdah and you're in periods of purdah and you're in periods of purdah and you can't say too much. you really can't say too much. but it's been pretty obvious to me that george galloway was going rochdale going to win the rochdale by—election. well, of the by—election. why well, of the turnout . 43% of it was a postal turnout. 43% of it was a postal vote and we've got history on

this, particularly with ethnic minorities, even those that don't speak english. they get signed up for postal votes. those votes get harvested. and that's what the galloway campaign was able to do . so he campaign was able to do. so he has won . i think that it's very has won. i think that it's very bad news because i think it is for the first time in england, certainly in modern times, we are seeing genuine sectarian politics, people voting along the lines not of their opinions of the world, whether they're a bit of a left or a bit to the right. but people voting on religious lines and overwhelmingly that vote for galloway was a muslim vote. indeed, his first words, his first words were, this is for gaza. so what is the workers party of great britain? i'll give you some idea. they say things like we defend the achievements of the ussr, china , achievements of the ussr, china, cuba, etc. so , i mean, you could cuba, etc. so, i mean, you could almost say there are communist party. but what does amuse me is since he was elected , he has since he was elected, he has picked up some domestic issues.

he wants to try and save the football club. it's been around for 130 years. on the verge for 130 years. it's on the verge of going bust. and george galloway wants to make rochdale great wonder where that great again. i wonder where that came today he was sworn came from. so today he was sworn in in the house of commons. interestingly, he chose a bible as opposed to a quran, and he was shown into the house by sir peter bottomley, the father of the house, and by neil hanvey , the house, and by neil hanvey, alba, member of parliament for kirkcaldy and cowdenbeath . but i kirkcaldy and cowdenbeath. but i wonder , i wonder, is this a dark wonder, i wonder, is this a dark day for british democracy ? and day for british democracy? and i've known george galloway for a few years and you can't help it when you're with him. just to think this man has got an extra ordinary charisma. he is an amazing speaker. he is a very, very talented political figure , very talented political figure, and i say that not as someone that supports his views. they're the abilities that george has. and yet i think he's using them in what is going to prove to be a very, very divisive way. he, um, he's now urging jeremy

corbyn to join him. and you can see that starmer now has a real problem on his left. i suspect that problem won't be that big for this year's general election, but it may well be for the one that comes after that. so let me let me ask you, you know, is this a dark day for parliament and for democracy? give me your thoughts, please. farage on gb news dot com. now i'm joined in the studio by neil harvey. you saw him a moment ago on your screens now, originally neil david davis said that he was happy to accompany george galloway into the house. and david davis, very fair minded man . left or right. but what put man. left or right. but what put him off was this this clip. chris williams is the former labour member of parliament for a derby constituency . he's one a derby constituency. he's one of the deputy leaders of the workers party. and at about 3:00 in the morning, he was on gb news. and this is what he said. and i think this is quite shocking. >> body of opinion that suggests

that the labour party deliberately , uh, you know, deliberately, uh, you know, threw their man under the bus because they knew that they were on course to lose this election and lose it quite badly to george galloway . and by throwing george galloway. and by throwing chris williamson , are you chris williamson, are you seriously suggesting under the boss, as it were, the labour party wanted its candidate to spout anti—semitic words that this was somehow an internal plot? >> that's just the territory of conspiracy theory and lunacy. surely . surely. >> well, no, it's not. and secondly, it wasn't anti—semitic . what he said. i mean, you know, the theory, which is not one i subscribe to, nor does george galloway it's george galloway, but it's a theory that carried in the theory that was carried in the new times, no less . it's new york times, no less. it's been carried israeli media as been carried by israeli media as well. no wonder he's quite happy to sit on his hands whilst israel is implementing a genocide in gaza. a massacre in people on a daily basis. you know, they're actually killing more children every day than

actually were being killed in auschwitz . auschwitz. >> now, neil, you know, i think number one, you know what he's saying. >> chris williamson , is that >> chris williamson, is that actually the israelis welcome this attack in. it was their means of getting back at the gazans. means of getting back at the gazans . and i mean, any gazans. and i mean, any comparison with auschwitz is surely beyond the pale . i know surely beyond the pale. i know you're a reasonable minded man. i know you believe in free, open debate. yes. with people , debate. yes. with people, regardless opinions and hey, regardless of opinions and hey, you you've been on this you know, you've been on this show. we agree on things. we disagree things . and you are disagree on things. and you are very fair minded democrat very fair minded and a democrat in there are in that sense. but there are some elements, this some elements, surely, of this workers great britain workers party of great britain that must find difficult. >> the response ability that i carried out today was , was to carried out today was, was to bnngin carried out today was, was to bring in a new member and that is, i believe , a responsibility is, i believe, a responsibility that that should not be did. i don't believe in deplatforming people . i don't believe in in people. i don't believe in in shutting down freedom of speech

at all. um and so what you can't associate is the wider political dimension with that responsibility to welcome new members to the house, because , members to the house, because, because to, to refuse to do that, in my view, is a discourtesy under parliamentary rules. i think it's churlish to behave in that way . and it's behave in that way. and it's also most importantly, an insult and an affront to the elected hit that returned. that member. now whether i agree with members from across the house and there are some members in the conservative benches that i agree with on certain issues and there in the snp there are members in the snp with which i disagree vociferously around. however the bafic vociferously around. however the basic respect for open debate and freedom of speech is a fundamental right, and i don't believe that anyone in the house should refuse the people who elected mr galloway the right to take up his seat . take up his seat. >> i get that you've seen a

simple principle. i get that, and you've explained that very clearly just to 1 or 2 of the issues. you know, we've seen sectarian politics in northern ireland for decades and how horrendous it can be. and i think it's sort of glasgow. we get specimens of sectarianism. rangers are playing celtic, etc, where people divide on religious lines. my point about this, i mean, look, you know, i, i, i think this sort of from the river to the let's river to the sea, let's obliterate israel stuff is pretty view pretty vile. that's my view strongly my view and i think i think not condemning the 7th of october attacks. i find that i mean, don't you find that difficult? >> well, i mean, my took >> well, i mean, my party took a very clear position and released a our party a statement from our party leader, alex salmond, on the 9th of october that condemned the attacks . that said, violence and attacks. that said, violence and death and destruction are no solution to any problem, wherever it may be. but that also applies to the people of gaza and the loss of life of women and children in the current conflict is completely unacceptable . unacceptable. >> and that's why we support no, no, no, absolutely .

no, no, absolutely. >> but you did condemn the attacks of october the 7th. yeah. draws a very big yeah. and that draws a very big distinction between the distinction between where the workers this. my workers party are on this. my concern , neal, is this that, you concern, neal, is this that, you know, we have a muslim population across the united kingdom that has expanded by 44% over the course of the last ten years. it is now a significant number of people, and whilst not all of them are going to vote for galloway and his for george galloway and his party, clearly, since this conflict and perhaps brewing before a significant a significant number are what i am bemoaning is that what we saw today was a rebirth. it's happened before in history , but happened before in history, but a rebirth of religious, sectarian ism and that i find disturbing. >> i take a different view to the one that you've just set out there, and i've heard that view advanced by yourself previously , advanced by yourself previously, me and you know, my background . me and you know, my background. i was born in northern ireland. i was born in northern ireland. i was born in northern ireland. i was born in belfast. i spent my early years in ireland. i know the damage that sectarianism does as first hand.

i remember what that was like living there, and thankfully my parents took the decision to move to scotland and that's why scotland is now. my home and scotland is now. now my home and but the i think the energy behind the galloway victory is less about religious sectarianism and much more to do with a wider frustration in the population. there are demonstrations happening up and down the country with people from all faiths and no faiths opposing the humanitarian crisis that's happening in gaza. and so i think it's i think it's unhelpful. i think it's potentially dangerous to frame this as a sectarian one. >> do you really? >> do you really? >> yes, i do. well i mean, i get and i fully understand and i say that as someone who has lived through narrative and through that narrative and i understand how deeply damaging thatis understand how deeply damaging that is to communities , i take that is to communities, i take your point on this level that when you see the marches in london, you know, there are plenty of middle class white girls jocasta on the girls called jocasta on the marches . marches. >> and there's there's the

>> and there's and there's the old and the corbyn >> and there's and there's the old and and the corbyn >> and there's and there's the old and i and the corbyn >> and there's and there's the old and i getnd the corbyn >> and there's and there's the old and i get that; corbyn >> and there's and there's the old and i get that. butrbyn >> and there's and there's the old and i get that. but if/n >> and there's and there's the old and i get that. but if you ites, and i get that. but if you look if you look at the look at the if you look at the election literature, you know that was putting that george galloway was putting out, appealing to out, he was appealing to a religious vote. yeah. >> and , you know, that's one of >> and, you know, that's one of the wonderful things about democracy now that george democracy now that that george galloway is in the chamber when there are points in which we agree, we will hopefully collaborate. >> and when there are things that disagree about, that i disagree with them about, i forthright in my i will be forthright in my criticism that is the criticism and that is the wonderful thing about freedom of speech and proper democracy. and thatis speech and proper democracy. and that is fundamentally why. well, neale had to take a seat. neale hanvey had to take a seat. >> you and i take some strongly opposing on this opposing views on this particular opposing views on this partisectarianism has arrived that sectarianism has arrived andifs that sectarianism has arrived and it's here to stay . and i'm and it's here to stay. and i'm just going to sort of point out the false priorities of the house. this was an exchange that took place today and it took place between liz twist, labour mp for blaydon, and she put a question to tory minister and mp for kensington, felicity buckham. let's have a look. thank you, mr speaker, but for almost two years this tory

government has failed to appoint an independent adviser on islamophobia. >> the former adviser has since criticised the government for their failure to engage, revealing that he couldn't even get them to provide terms of reference for his role. does the minister agree with me that this government lacks the political will to tackle this pernicious hatred, or even to call it out ? hatred, or even to call it out? i strongly disagree with the honourable lady , and i just like honourable lady, and i just like to let you know that we do plan to let you know that we do plan to appoint a new independent adviser on anti—muslim hatred, and we will be updating the house shortly . house shortly. >> so there we are, within a fortnight of from the river to the sea being posted up on the elizabeth tower that houses big ben, with not a single arrest, with the mob outside parliament, mps absolutely scared and george galloway taking his seat . we're galloway taking his seat. we're more worried about islamophobe here and potentially causing offence by what we say. actually

you know, than we are about the division , the threat and as division, the threat and as we've learned over the weekend, the upped risk of terrorism. i think parliament is in denial. neil hanvey would disagree with me, but there we are in a moment, in a moment, we'll talk about that church of england who've decided not to give £100 million of their money to reparations for slavery. they're putting it up to a billion. is it necessary? and what it actually do? any good veteran campaigner linda bellos joins me in just a moment

i >> -- >> as well as ever, we want to get your reactions. >> what do you think about george galloway taking his seat in the house of commons? is this a sectarianism? a victory for sectarianism? robert galloway is turning robert says galloway is turning our parliament into a sectarian battlefield . the only good thing battlefield. the only good thing with him is that he will rock starmer's boat . but christopher starmer's boat. but christopher

says how dare the unelected sunak slam the democratic nature of mandate, rather of rochdale ? of mandate, rather of rochdale? he has no idea how much he's resented for being an unelected pm, and marianne says when a by—election is won on a foreign and sectarian issue and not because of the needs of the people of rochdale, it is indeed a dark day in politics, and we always want to get your point of view. we are the people's channel and as you know, we go out. i've done over 45 videos. it's out, around the country with live audiences , and i with live audiences, and i should be going with michelle dewberry this wednesday evening. it'll be a live show from 6 to 8 pm. we'll be in the seaside p.m. we'll be in the seaside town of whitehaven in cumbria. we've got a few tickets left if you want to come along because it's budget day and i want to go to cumbria and ask when you've heard hunt's budget, heard jeremy hunt's budget, whether better off or whether you feel better off or worse off the of it, if worse off at the end of it, if you to come for that two you want to come for that two hour special michelle dewberry

and be in the audience, and myself, be in the audience, ask questions, take part . all ask questions, take part. all you is go to you need to do is go to gbnews.com. and we always , gbnews.com. and we always, always have a full house at these events. so if you want to come, you had better hurry . these events. so if you want to come, you had better hurry. now the church of england had made a decision already that it was going to put about £100 million into a fund for reparations for slavery. the reason is that if you go back 250 years, in fact, nearly 300, actually, the church of england were investors in the south sea company, a company involved with slavery. but now, after a report with the church commissioners, they've decided to up this to £1 billion. is there any upper ceiling on this ? there any upper ceiling on this? will it, in fact do any good? and does it make sense for us to apologise for what people did many, many generations ago? well, somebody with a very strong view on this is linda bellos, obe, former leader of lambeth council and former treasurer of the african reparations movement in the uk .

reparations movement in the uk. linda, you've been a campaigner on this issue for a very, very long time. i just wonder , is it long time. i just wonder, is it right that we should feel guilt for what happened a long, long time ago ? time ago? >> responsibility . we >> responsibility. we collectively myself included, we have benefited. but the thing i want to challenge you about is the history i've got in front of me. a cop of letters that i and bernie grant, the late, wonderful , bernie grant, the late, wonderful, great bernie grant mp . um, we wrote to all kinds of, uh , statutory bodies . in 1995 on uh, statutory bodies. in 1995 on this subject . at the time , the this subject. at the time, the church remembered and acknowledged its, uh, it's doings . what surprises me is

doings. what surprises me is that all that's forgotten you're talking about it as though this is new. it isn't. >> no no no no no no i'm not, no rm— >> no no no no no no i'm not, no i'm not. no no i said you've been a long time campaigner on this and i and i, you know, i know whether you're right on it, you know , you've been on this you know, you've been on this journey for a long time, linda. >> yes, i have, but the point is, the guardian hasn't the all the press i've heard today , they the press i've heard today, they seems to have forgotten the role of the, uh, african reparations movement in uk. and in america in the in, in 1990s. and it's annoying to me that black history keeps being forgotten in. so possibly another 20 years. somebody uh , somebody years. somebody uh, somebody will come along and say, oh, i think we ought to apologise to africa. and the caribbean for

the enslavement of african people as though it hasn't really been done. >> well, a couple of points on that , a >> well, a couple of points on that, a couple of points on that. you know, this country of course, a lead on you course, took a lead on this. you know, prince albert himself, the queen's apologised on queen's husband apologised on behalf of the nation. we then, of course , we then course, of course, we then of course, through naval squadron through the royal naval squadron , decades vast amounts of , spent decades vast amounts of money. the death of over 1500 sailors. when we teach people in britain about the history of slavery, we should also teach them that this country was the first civilised country to get rid of slavery and actually to spend decades trying to drive it out . it's spend decades trying to drive it out. it's important to spend decades trying to drive it out . it's important to teach out. it's important to teach that, too, isn't it? >> it is . but bear in mind that >> it is. but bear in mind that millions of pounds were given to the slave owners by the british state in in the 1800s to , uh, state in in the 1800s to, uh, deal with the fact that they were no longer, uh, going to benefit from slavery. so britain then played a role, but what it did do was not a penny to those

enslaved african people. that but but the slave owners benefited now. but it did pay money, but it did pay money. >> lender . it money, but it did pay money. >> lender. it did pay money to people, to africans who themselves were kidnapping and selling the slaves to the british. i mean, let's face it, there is some african responsibility in this too, isn't there? historically of course there is . course there is. >> i'm not sorry. listen, it's for me. this is not a black white issue in which, uh, white people are in the wrong and black people are all wonderful. i'm not suggesting that we're talking about sovereign states. we're talking about, uh, economic institutions . we're economic institutions. we're talking about a whole host of cultural and political and economic issues that still arise from as a as a consequence of the enslaved of african people. and, of course , i mean, even and, of course, i mean, even looking at american policy , fix looking at american policy, fix it. the role that slavery had in

that needs to be acknowledged . that needs to be acknowledged. it needs to be recognised, not about guilt. and it's not about money, but it is historical facts that we, all of us need to benefit from. listen, it's a yeah, as long as as long as. >> no as long as we teach that history with balance. and as i say, the one thing that upsets me is i talk to lots of youngsters who've come out of school, you know, who know about youngsters who've come out of sch

president of the usa, the one that we virtually never hear anything from at yet she is anything from at all. yet she is now stepping up and talking about gaza, demanding an immediate ceasefire. what is going on? i'll tell you in just a moment

we hear so little of vice president kamala harris , yet president kamala harris, yet today quite a big foreign policy intervention where she stands up and says very publicly she wants and says very publicly she wants an immediate ceasefire in in gaza and downing street, then says that there is no difference between the uk and the us positions on gaza. indeed and i quote, we are entire , fully quote, we are entire, fully aligned. so what's going on here? well, two things in my opinion. the first is that kamala harris is stepping up because it's becoming more and more obvious to everybody that biden mentally isn't up to the job. the gaffes become worse,

the signs of senility are there for to all see, and there is a feeling that maybe he'll get dumped before . before the august dumped before. before the august democrat convention. and maybe she fancies her chances of being the front runner for the democrat party. so i see a political element to what she's doing today . but the other thing doing today. but the other thing that's happening here, folks , is that's happening here, folks, is israel is rapidly running out of friends, and we were pretty staunch supporters of israel in the early part of the war. but david cameron has very, very rapidly, it seems to me , shifted rapidly, it seems to me, shifted and changed that policy. israel, i think, now very, very much on her own. i'm joined down the line by jacob aledort , director line by jacob aledort, director of research at the jewish institute for national security of america and a man who formerly worked for vice president pence . uh, jacob, on president pence. uh, jacob, on my first good evening. welcome to the program . i'm on my first to the program. i'm on my first point. on my first point. you know, we hear nothing on this

side of the pond and not much more on your side of the pond. this did strike me as kamala harris getting political. perhaps with a little hint of ambition. >> well, good evening , ambition. >> well, good evening, nigel, and thank you so much for having me on your program. it's a pleasure to be with you and your viewers. i viewers. um. you're right. i mean, haven't heard much from mean, we haven't heard much from the on sunday, the vice president on sunday, she opened her speech in, uh, in alabama, talking alabama, mentioning talking about gaza, talking about the humanitarian situation there, the her quote is the full part of her quote is that, you know, hamas claims that, you know, hamas claims that for a ceasefire and that, you know, hamas claims tha'doesn't a ceasefire and that, you know, hamas claims tha'doesn't standsefire and that, you know, hamas claims tha'doesn't stand behind 1d that, you know, hamas claims tha'doesn't stand behind that. yet doesn't stand behind that. and let's be be real here. and let's be let's be real here. i mean, hamas is at fault for the civilian suffering in gaza today. um, israel has been providing, um , you know, record providing, um, you know, record numbers of humanitarian assistance into gaza. just yesterday , 227, uh , trucks, a yesterday, 227, uh, trucks, a convoy, the largest any single day has been reported to have entered into gaza . um, but, you entered into gaza. um, but, you know, the framework for a ceasefire has been presented . ceasefire has been presented. israel has agreed to it in

principle. uh, hamas is now, uh, you know , kind of delaying it, you know, kind of delaying it, doing all these stall tactics for why they don't want to do it. and so it's clear that everything falls on them from beginning on this. yeah. beginning to end on this. yeah. >> course, the >> and of course, you know, the israelis are demanding to know >> and of course, you know, the israemanye demanding to know >> and of course, you know, the israemany ofemanding to know >> and of course, you know, the israe many of the nding to know >> and of course, you know, the israe many of the hostages (now >> and of course, you know, the israe many of the hostages arev how many of the hostages are still answer , there still alive and answer, there comes none. but my bigger point here and this probably jacob, is the one that will alarm you , is the one that will alarm you, is i really do feel that israel is running out of friends, that the tide of public opinion and you know, you can call it propaganda , you can call it whatever you want to call it. but the tide of pubuc want to call it. but the tide of public opinion in the west is that overreacted to that israel has overreacted to what has happened. she really is becoming very isolated, isn't she? well i mean, you pointed out at the beginning of your segment that, you know, the united kingdom , the united united kingdom, the united states have been remarkable in their actions in their rhetoric and actions in support . support of israel. >> remains, despite >> all that remains, despite rhetoric here and there. uh but you're right. i mean, israel faces international scrutiny about this. the fact is, the framing completely off.

framing is completely off. i mean, , one civilian mean, of course, one civilian casualty unmerited is one casualty that's unmerited is one too many. but israel has gone above and beyond any modern, any, any military in history. uh, to avert those , uh, those uh, to avert those, uh, those civilian casualties . and so that civilian casualties. and so that focus by the likes of the eu foreign foreign policy chief and others in the united nations is completely out of place. but it shows really the lack of context here. and really the need for, uh, for international coordination. i mean, i mean , coordination. i mean, i mean, you know, israel may well have tried incredibly hard, you know, just to take out the bad of just to take out the bad guys of hamas. course, there was >> but of course, there was there always to there were always going to be civilian . jacob, civilian casualties. jacob, great on. great to great to have you on. great to talk to you. thank you so much. i suspect a difficult few weeks and months for all and months ahead for all concerned gary goldsmith , uncle concerned. gary goldsmith, uncle gary, yes , this is the what the gary, yes, this is the what the farage moment. he of course, is the black sheep of the family. kate middleton's uncle had a bit of a checkered past made a few quid in business, likes a drink, had a few domestic difficulties .

had a few domestic difficulties. is, to say the very least. and he's going in to the big brother household. and of course, everyone's worried he'll spill the about what is wrong the beans about what is wrong with kate and apparently the family have given him a severe dressing down as if to say , you dressing down as if to say, you can't trust uncle gary. well tell you something. actually, i know gary socially. i've known him for quite a few years. i can promise you , he's never said an promise you, he's never said an indiscreet word out of place about his family. indiscreet word out of place about his family . their marriage about his family. their marriage into the royal family whatsoever. and i'm sure in that big brother household, he actually. i think you'll find he's going to be hilarious and not let the side down. gary, don't let me down, please . now, don't let me down, please. now, a service of thanksgiving today, just over the road in westminster abbey. because it is 200 years since the rnli was established and it now remarkably has us 238 lifeboats around the united kingdom . and around the united kingdom. and of course, the newer departure . of course, the newer departure. it now has 240 beaches on which it has lifeguards , and given the

it has lifeguards, and given the explosion of interest in north devon, north cornwall, places like that for bodyboarding and surfing, you know, these are unalive, um , lifeguards are unalive, um, lifeguards are very, very welcome indeed. now, this is a charity that i've supported from a very, very early age. those that know me know i love nothing more than a day out at sea and i even held a british beer festival in the european parliament in brussels with a colleague of mine a few years ago to raise money for the lifeboats. so i've always been a staunch supporter. i have been critical more of border force than i have of the rnli. they've been making the lifeboats and the volunteer crews do a job of border force and that that has made be unhappy. but there is some unhappiness now within the organisation , a feeling that organisation, a feeling that it's become more corporatized, a feeling that it's become more woke and quite a lot of senior crew have left or been sacked in the last few years, which does leave a slightly bitter taste .

leave a slightly bitter taste. on this 200th anniversary. one of those is heidi bakewell , of those is heidi bakewell, former volunteer crew member at pwllheli in north wales. now you were there for five years. um, what? um, heidi, what was . i what? um, heidi, what was. i mean, you weren't the only one. were you? there were many, many people like you who've given their time freely. they wanted to do it , who've somehow fallen to do it, who've somehow fallen foul of the head office in poole, who seemed to think differently to a type of people that go on lifeboats . yes. that go on lifeboats. yes. >> yeah . unfortunately. so, um , >> yeah. unfortunately. so, um, we raised a few concerns at the regional level and we weren't listened to. so we went higher. uh, and they didn't listen to us and they kind of just made it quite clear if we didn't accept the findings of their investigation , that we were investigation, that we were happy to leave . um, yeah. so it happy to leave. um, yeah. so it felt a bit disposable, you know, very disposable , really. very disposable, really. >> and it's happened all around the country, hasn't it? i mean, i've got examples from clacton, from new brighton from southend, from new brighton , i mean stations all around the

country where and people often with service than you 25, with more service than you 25, 30 years of service and suddenly find themselves as unwelcome in this new sort of politically correct woke renee . hell, i, correct woke renee. hell, i, i just sense the organisation is not the happy one that it used to be. >> no , i think, you know, the >> no, i think, you know, the actual rnli , the institution and actual rnli, the institution and the ethos behind it is absolutely excellent and we've still got a lot of men and women at crew level that are absolutely excellent. and, you know everything what know, give everything to do what they . so, uh, it's the they do. so, uh, it's the management level that i feel like they're not trained enough in resolving disputes that in resolving any disputes that occur. and you will get disputes . you know, people are from all walks together walks of life that come together and one maybe common and they've got one maybe common goal. and they've got one maybe common goal . if there's goal. but if there's other things that factors that come in that you don't agree on, you need have strong management need to have strong management in to be able to solve in there to be able to solve those issues. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and people made >> and also people made unwelcome because they have certain views on certain subjects. and that's not considered appropriate and certain bits of what i think i

call banter. i'm you know, perhaps you would as well that that are now considered to be inappropriate kind of these inappropriate and kind of these are volunteers doing something really, really dangerous . and really, really dangerous. and yet it seems we want them to behave as if they were working in office. in an office. >> yeah. mean , i've got to >> yeah. i mean, i've got to say, the banter between the crew has always that has always been there. that won't anywhere . you know, we won't go anywhere. you know, we were band. chip kelly. were a tight band. chip kelly. uh, and you say, there was uh, and like you say, there was a lot of crew there that, you know, we actually it's the three a lot of crew there that, you know, vthattually it's the three a lot of crew there that, you know, vthat have' it's the three a lot of crew there that, you know, vthat have stuck 1e three a lot of crew there that, you know, vthat have stuck upthree a lot of crew there that, you know, vthat have stuck up fore a lot of crew there that, you know, vthat have stuck up for two women that have stuck up for two older had got 36 years older men that had got 36 years experience and 28 years experience and 28 years experience . and it's our experience. and it's our grievance that they've been cast aside because they were people we learned from. and when you go to sea, you know, like you say, you on the, you know, on the you go on the, you know, on the boat often you when boat quite often, you know, when you're crew , you need that you're new crew, you need that experience to learn from. and between the 12 crew that have now sadly left preseli, they've lost over 170 years of experience . it'll take years to experience. it'll take years to get that back . get that back. >> yeah. that story, heidi , that >> yeah. that story, heidi, that loss of experience. i've heard

from several places around the country . well, thank you for country. well, thank you for coming on and joining us. it's still a day to celebrate its 200 years of the lifeboats. it's an amazing organisation . it's amazing organisation. it's probably helped to save up to 150,000 over the years . 150,000 lives over the years. and there's been something there's something uniquely there's been something uniquely british the thing. british about the whole thing. but uh, sadly, having but uh, yeah, sadly, having a few problems. thank you for joining us on this 200th anniversary. and rnli spokesman has said of the pwllheli row that after a breakdown in relationships between people at the station , two thirds of the the station, two thirds of the crew and 13 new volunteers have agreed to move forward to an intensive two week training penod intensive two week training period is now underway to get the lifeboat back in service . in the lifeboat back in service. in response to the additional claims on mail online, the rnli accused the publication of having deliberately tried to diminish our 200th anniversary and chosen to rehash some mainly historic stories to create a false impression of our charity , false impression of our charity, one that most of our people just do not recognise. well that's what they say in poole at the

head office. but there is disquiet around the country and thatis disquiet around the country and that is a sad thing for what has been a wonderful british institution . in a moment we're institution. in a moment we're going to talk about crime, we're going to talk about crime, we're going to talk about crime, we're going to talk about the fact that in parts of the country , that in parts of the country, hardly any burglaries whatsoever ever get cleared up. yet we're told by minister after minister , told by minister after minister, that crime is falling rapidly in our country. surely both things can't be right

>> so there was a big commitment, a big promise from the police a couple of years ago because people were saying, my house gets burgled , i'm in great house gets burgled, i'm in great distress and the police don't even visit . even visit. >> so there has been a huge emphasis by the police to go and visit households, go and speak to families who've suffered burglaries and robberies . well, burglaries and robberies. well, that's all well and good, but a daily telegraph analysis of

police data shows that no burglaries were solved . in 48% burglaries were solved. in 48% of neighbourhoods. that's areas covering between 1 and 3000 people over the course of the last three years. and in fact , last three years. and in fact, you know, some areas, you know , you know, some areas, you know, charges are below 4% of burglaries at very best, it's 8 or 9. so it's great that the cops are turning up and having a cup of tea . but it would appear cup of tea. but it would appear that they're just not bothering. they're not following through at all. and you know, you sort of almost get to a point in some parts of this country where there is almost no disincentive to go out and steal . so that to go out and steal. so that picture looks very bad. and then we have to weigh that up against the home office spokesman saying, now, you know , maybe i'm saying, now, you know, maybe i'm wrong, but i find this hard to believe. since 2010, our communities are safer with neighbourhood crimes, including burglary , robbery and theft .

burglary, robbery and theft. down by 48. violent crime down 51. and with more police officers in england and wales than ever before. well, the more police officers point . yeah, police officers point. yeah, good. because the population is 10 million bigger than it was 25 years ago . um, former cop peter years ago. um, former cop peter bleksley joins me down the line. peter i'm struggling with this . peter i'm struggling with this. ikeep peter i'm struggling with this. i keep being told that crime is falling rapidly, but at the same time, it appears that if you commit a burglary, there's almost no chance of you of you facing a charge. what do you think the true picture is? i mean, are the police actually doing their job, or have they virtually given up the true picture is catastrophic , and the picture is catastrophic, and the harsh reality is that due to the state of british policing in 2024, crime does pay. >> you can commit a burglary. and there's very, very little chance of you getting caught for it. and likewise with

shoplifting , where people steal shoplifting, where people steal with impunity , thereby damaging with impunity, thereby damaging those important businesses so often run by individuals and families. the backbone of the economy that we so often hear. and they are being let down. the police needs to decide what it is . is it a police needs to decide what it is. is it a social service that deals with all of society's ills , or is it a police force that deals with crime and prevents crime and investigates crime and locks up people? it needs to make its mind up? >> no, i think that's a very, very fair point. and jacob nodding along beside me to the point peter, when point you're making, peter, when you young cop, you know you were a young cop, you know how much better were detection rates and charging rates for burglary than they are today? well the streets were a hostile environment for criminals, and that was something that police officers prided themselves on. >> they would go out, they would walk the beat. we walked the beat. we'd drive in bannau cars and drive in areas , cars and and drive in areas, cars and q cars and many other wonderful resources that we had. and those

streets were hostile for criminals. you could not shoplift with impunity. you could not commit burglary with impunity . we prided ourselves on impunity. we prided ourselves on knowing the communities who the law breakers were. and there was nothing more satisfactory than removing their front door from its hinges at 6:00 in the morning and uttering those immortal words , you're nicked . immortal words, you're nicked. >> sorry, i shouldn't be laughing. just the way you put it was irresistible. in many ways. so you're charting a pattern over a few short decades of genuine social decline of people, of many people's lives becoming more miserable, more unhappy , and more fearful as a unhappy, and more fearful as a result of this? do you believe that we have the courage , the that we have the courage, the wisdom, the commitment not to start to turn this around and no , because the oxbridge educated elite that occupy the corridors

of power, of policing, power , of power, of policing, power, that is, and all their other degrees from the other universities that have climbed that greasy pole in the last 20 years or so, are fixated on the wokeist and the fluffy and the liberal and all that kind of nonsense , which is serving nonsense, which is serving communities so badly until we have policing power , that is, have policing power, that is, from people that understand what communities want. >> and i don't mean about pandenng >> and i don't mean about pandering to every individual minority community there is an utter obsession of modern policing and a complete waste of time because crimes happen to every community, every single community, regardless of faith, colour, creed , sexuality, and colour, creed, sexuality, and much more. so if the police professionally and promptly investigated those crimes, they would be engaging with communities anyway . um, from communities anyway. um, from there, there would become respect which has disappeared , respect which has disappeared, and then maybe some kind of

trust. but the whole the whole policing, uh, entire sitting there at the top with their gongs , with their gold plated gongs, with their gold plated pensions when they retire, need to completely change their attitudes . attitudes. >> peter bleksley you couldn't have put it more plainly, more straightforwardly. and i'm sure there'll people at home there'll be people at home actually ing, actually cheering cheer ing, literally cheering. what you've just said. thank you forjoining just said. thank you for joining me . well, i think peter put his me. well, i think peter put his finger on it. what's wrecking this country are the sort of chaps that go to the very top pubuc chaps that go to the very top public schools, oxford universities reached the top in you know, politics or their professions and they get gongs. uh, sir jacob rees—mogg . uh, sir jacob rees—mogg. >> uh, sirjacob rees—mogg. >> yeah. and it has to be said he didn't mention public schools. >> he ain't mentioned no one did. >> you did no , no. >> you did no, no. >> and dunwich is a pretty tough i know, i know, i know, i know, i know, i know, i know, i know, i know, i know, i know, i know, i know p.g. i know, i know, i know, i know, i know pg. wodehouse and all that. now sirjacob, um, he wasn't even aiming at, at politicians actually . no, no he

politicians actually. no, no he wasn't, he was. >> which i thought was interesting. expecting him interesting. i was expecting him to say we need home to say we need tougher home secretaries didn't say that. >> he know the politicians >> did he know the politicians want policing to be done properly and they provided extra police in recent years. but what are police actually doing? are the police actually doing? why aren't they policing these mobs properly? why aren't they pounding the beat? why aren't they attending to shop ? lifting? they attending to shop? lifting? and it seems that there is a vast bureaucracy that doesn't actually get on with things . and actually get on with things. and this is this is worrying because , as you say, that crime is going down up to a point, lord copper, because once you get on to financial crime to and online crime fraud, it's going rocketing up and the police can't do anything about it. they don't even try. no, i mean, i take this up for constituents and there's a telephone number you can ring and nothing happens i >> -- >>a -- >> a lot of other and a lot of other crime just doesn't get reported. people think, well, if i report it, it'll damage my insurance premium. no i thought peter absolutely peter put it absolutely beautifully. jacob, what have we got going got tonight? what are we going

to consequence to do? what is the consequence of galloway's election result? >> because think very >> because i think it's very important. think it's important. i think it's important. i think it's important labour party important for the labour party and the and it's important for the country it shows the mistake country and it shows the mistake of party in producing of the labour party in producing a minorities , a coalition of minorities, because eventually you find that one those minorities tries to one of those minorities tries to upset apple cart. one of those minorities tries to upset apple cart . galloway's upset the apple cart. galloway's appeal to it will other labour figures follow suit ? figures follow suit? >> yeah, i mean, he's already begging corbyn to join him. and the former big sort of socialist alliance. and i don't think it'll hurt them too much at this election. but at the one afterwards, think really, afterwards, i think it really, really jacob will be really could. jacob will be there in just a moment. i'm done for now . back with you here in for now. back with you here in london tomorrow . but of course london tomorrow. but of course up cumbria wednesday. up in cumbria on wednesday. gbnews.com. if you to join gbnews.com. if you want to join me tomorrow . me live there. see you tomorrow. looks like things are heating up i >> -- >> boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news evening . weather on. gb news evening. >> welcome along to your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. a bit of fog

gb news. >> hello . good evening, it's me, >> hello. good evening, it's me, jacob rees—mogg on state of the nafion jacob rees—mogg on state of the nation tonight as george galloway is sworn into parliament, the chickens have come home to roost for the labour party as a political divide within its voter base caused mass migration opens caused by mass migration opens up, posing serious problems for

the next election. a house of lords has defeated the rwanda bill as a majority of peers voted in favour of an amendment enforcing international law onto the bill, probably prompting ping the bill, probably prompting ping pong between the upper and lower chamber. is this constitutionally right? while the government has presented itself as hard line on mass migration, promising to implement record cuts in net numbers , they are hunting for numbers, they are hunting for foreign teachers to plug the so—called labour shortage in the education sector, prompting migration from sub—saharan africa , plus the shadow culture africa, plus the shadow culture secretary has suggested that the bbc shouldn't be forced to play rule britannia at the proms, and that the song itself alienates many people. but as charles moore argues, rule britannia is about freedom and not slavery . about freedom and not slavery. state of the nation starts now , state of the nation starts now, so so. so. and i'll also be joined by my most modern panel this evening.
