9:36 am
king, prince george, as well, i think is going to perhaps whether he wants to or not is going to create some alarm bells and perhaps embarrass the royal family bit. family a little bit. >> but you know what? i think it's humanising because >> but you know what? i think it's is humanising because >> but you know what? i think it's is notmanising because >> but you know what? i think it's is not royal;ing because >> but you know what? i think it's is not royal bloodecause >> but you know what? i think it's is not royal blood and.e kate is not royal blood and everybody's got someone in their family who's a bit of a liability christmas day. liability on christmas day. that's this guy, right? i don't think it's a problem for them at all. and when said the first all. and when he said the first time met prince william, he time he met prince william, he said, want a cup of tea? said, do you want a cup of tea? i like that they're normal. well, are well, even though they are of course, different. >> yeah. and prince william and catherine his catherine both stayed in his ibiza villa back in 2006. so they obviously few they have obviously met a few a number times. and i think number of times. and i think what telling that he what was telling was that he was. in the interview he's was. so in the interview he's done with the sun this morning, he so praising princess he was so praising the princess of beautiful of wales, saying she's beautiful on as well as the on the outside as well as the inside, but also he was inside, but also what he was doing really having go at doing was really having a go at harry saying that he harry and meghan saying that he thought through his thought harry through kate, his niece, he also said niece, under a bus. he also said that it was absolute rubbish what was written in endgame , um, what was written in endgame, um, about allegations that kate about the allegations that kate is a in the dutch version
9:37 am

9:38 am
>> well, he won't know anything about he? i hope about illness, will he? i hope not, they have not, no, he they won't have confided in because he's being filmed hours with filmed for 24 hours a day with cameras on him. >> it's easy to forget >> it's very easy to forget that. it's very to easy that. exactly. it's very to easy forget that you're being recorded. >> if she's dealing with something that has been long something that has been a long time health that she time health condition that she might from being much might have had from being much youngen might have had from being much younger, know younger, then he might know about know where about it. um, i don't know where i mean, i don't think it will be damaging for them. and i think that the princess of wales is literally goose that lays literally the goose that lays the for the the golden eggs for the royal family is precious family she is the precious jewel. jewel that crown of jewel. jewel in that crown of that isn't she? can that family. isn't she? she can do no i don't think he do no wrong. i don't think he has power damage her. no has the power to damage her. no in any way. there's nothing he could say would damage in any way. there's nothing he c don't;ay would damage in any way. there's nothing he cdon't know would damage in any way. there's nothing he c don't know how uld damage in any way. there's nothing he cdon't know how he damage in any way. there's nothing he cdon't know how he cannage in any way. there's nothing he cdon't know how he can sleep at i don't know how he can sleep at night. i mean, the humiliation of being there just because you are. to relative are. you happen to be a relative of royal family that's a of the royal family that's a kind a bit shameless, because kind of a bit shameless, because this is a celebrity big brother and not a celebrity. and he's not a celebrity. >> no, he's alongside former x factor judge louis walsh and factorjudge louis walsh and sharon rest. sharon osborne. all the rest. some there i've never some of them in there i've never heard either. no heard of either. no >> so we've picture, >> so we've got this picture, which i that i realise
9:39 am
which i know that i realise i might be exception to the might be the exception to the rule here, but, um, everybody is saying that this kate saying that this is kate middleton car. we can't middleton in the car. we can't show picture, in show you the picture, which in itself interesting angle. itself is an interesting angle. we have no evidence that it's her. we are just all jumping on the idea is her. it the idea that it is her. it looks lot like pippa middleton looks a lot like pippa middleton to we're not. we're not >> so we're not. we're not showing the paparazzi photograph >> so we're not. we're not sh obviousie paparazzi photograph >> so we're not. we're not sh obvious reasons. zzi photograph >> so we're not. we're not sh obvious reasons. iti photograph >> so we're not. we're not sh obvious reasons. it is hotograph >> so we're not. we're not sh obvious reasons. it is a»tograph >> so we're not. we're not sh obvious reasons. it is a very|ph or obvious reasons. it is a very intrusive photograph. kensington palace. i'm guessing the palace. i'm i'm guessing the indication saying indication no one's saying anything record, i'm anything on the record, but i'm getting indication getting the indication they're very upset about this picture. um, published very upset about this picture. urthe published very upset about this picture. urthe us. published very upset about this picture. urthe us. um, published very upset about this picture. urthe us. um, tabloids blished very upset about this picture. urthe us. um, tabloids magazine in the us. um, tabloids magazine . it was taken just after 9:00, apparently on the way back from the school with and the school run with carol and kate in the car very near windsor. as you said, she's wearing sunglasses, wearing dark sunglasses, although it was a very intrusive photograph. what it has done is kind quelled some of the kind of quelled some of the speculation that we've seen onune speculation that we've seen online the last few weeks. online over the last few weeks. there's of there's been lots of very unfounded conspiracy theories , unfounded conspiracy theories, which going to get into, which i'm not going to get into, but it has shown that a lot of those conspiracy theories are clearly complete rubbish because she as we can see, she looks, as far as we can see, she looks, as far as we can see, sheyeah. you it's intrusive
9:40 am
>> yeah. you say it's intrusive as well, but look, it was in a pubuc as well, but look, it was in a public place. cameron yeah, on a pubuc public place. cameron yeah, on a public and they never public highway. and they never used to be law banning people used to be a law banning people from photographs from taking photographs of people public highway. people in a on a public highway. so, people, there's so, i mean, people, there's a the restraint here is, is , in my the restraint here is, is, in my view, because the media has decided that she is recovering from an illness which is clearly serious. if she's been in hospital two we're hospital for two weeks, we're not going see her till after not going to see her till after easter. don't think easter. but they i don't think there'd be any breach any there'd be any breach of any regulations were to regulations if they were to publish, was in a publish, because it was in a pubuc publish, because it was in a public place. yeah. >> i think it's out of respect for the princess of wales. and i think since death of think ever since the death of diana, of wales, in 97, diana, princess of wales, in 97, the british media in particular have very careful have been very careful about publishing photographs. >> use paparazzi photographs. >> no, use paparazzi photographs. >> no, that's�* paparazzi photographs. >> no, that's that's'azzi photographs. >> no, that's that's but photos. no, that's that's but the does, they and social the us does, they do and social media does. >> and the problem is anyone in the country can see these pictures the palace pictures online. and the palace cannot stop or control those pictures circulating online. so the fact that we're not publishing them realistically won't make a difference. perhaps the older generation, yes, but with the younger generation, they're to see anyway.
9:41 am
they're going to see it anyway. >> accomplished >> she's an accomplished photographer in her own right. she's taken lots of photographs of the children and the family. would been perhaps would it not have been perhaps if it could the palace? not perhaps a way where if it could the palace? not peri could a way where if it could the palace? not pericould have a way where if it could the palace? not pericould have taken way where she could have taken a photograph of herself with the kids it, and there kids and released it, and there had been no need for any of this. >> now, i think this shows the difference buckingham difference between buckingham palace palace, palace and kensington palace, because been because the king has been allowed filmed. he's been allowed to be filmed. he's been had taken had photographs of him taken with looking greetings cards, with looking at greetings cards, etc. kensington palace remained incredibly now the king, incredibly silent. now the king, of is head state, so of course, is head of state, so there a much more warranted there was a much more warranted pubuc there was a much more warranted public interest in his health conditions. princess of conditions. the princess of wales bigger right to wales has a much bigger right to privacy be privacy than him, and to be fair, to her if she fair, it's up to her if she wants to do it, then she does. if she doesn't, she doesn't. >> she's going to take >> and if she's going to take it, she's got to get all her makeup on. and perhaps she just doesn't feel like it. yeah, maybe got three kids maybe she's got three kids to look after. remarkable, actually. >> w- >> how different that relationship. we've got to move on i think you know on camera. i think you i know there's i know so much. there's so much. i know so much. >> you it all day. >> you do it all day. >> you do it all day. >> yeah, but we will be talking

9:43 am
already causing, um, confusion. let's say . let's say. >> yeah . morning, both. he >> yeah. morning, both. he wouldn't say he was slippery . i wouldn't say he was slippery. i mean, he actually arranged that press conference. we had an up note sent to us in journalist terms about an hour and half terms about an hour and a half early. he knew we were all early. so he knew we were all there. he knew the microphones were behind were there. his wife was behind him painted with a him with nails painted with a palestinian flag. um, he's clearly thinks that the next election is about religion, about muslims. he said that? he said the next, next election will be about muslims. and he thinks that people's faith will be a big voting factor , maybe be a big voting factor, maybe for the first time, that we can remember in a general election in this country. um, if the war in this country. um, if the war in gaza carries on, it could well be that that becomes a defining thing to vote about. he certainly said that he thought that independence candidates like himself will take millions of votes away from the main parties. he singled out angela rayner very interestingly. he said that we will stand the
9:44 am
workers party or will support an independent party. he said a candidate against angela rayner in under lyne, now her in ashton under lyne, now her majority there is just 4263, down from over 11,000 in 2019. he thinks that he can put one across some labour senior figures in the same way. maybe that the reform party might chip in to tory mp numbers at the election. so he is going to cause some issues, i think, for more for the labour party than the tory party um, and that's certainly something to worry about for rishi sunak in a sense i >> -- >> um, chris, hum >> um, chris, he's becoming to labour what reform uk is to the tory party. reform has the reform party is going to do? well, i think with disaffected tory voters and the galloway is making no bones about it. he's after labour seats where there's after labour seats where there's a strong muslim population . a strong muslim population. >> yes, i'm, i was saying as much in an online piece for, for the our website last friday. that's exactly right. i think um, i think and even if there is
9:45 am
a ceasefire , the hopes there a ceasefire, the hopes there might be ceasefire during ramadan in gaza that the legacy or the of even the fighting is carrying on, it'll be very difficult for some some, some muslim people to, to support labour if labour aren't calling for an immediate ceasefire and that that will carry on into the into the autumn when we expect the election to be. i was standing right in front of him. i he's he is character. i mean, he's he is a character. if you're totally right. he wears that fedora because he was attacked um, and he attacked in 2014. um, and he said he badly damaged to his head. so wears the hat for head. so he wears the hat for medical reasons. know, medical reasons. um, you know, his eyes flitted about. he had used a press conference about 35, 40 minutes. he called out the bbc. he had a dig at gb news, as he likes to put it back on the journalist. i mean, he's a he's a fighter. um, he said he'll be speaking at pmqs if he gets called and the budget debate and if he's not called either of those points by the speaker , he will. will do. speaker, he will. he will do. he'll a maiden speech andrew he'll do a maiden speech andrew and which will be which will and bev which will be which will be a one. be a big one.

10:08 am
government in what we're trying to we're trying to break this terrible trade. we're trying to put a disincentive in place. we're trying to the right we're trying to do the right thing people. we don't thing here for people. we don't want to see more children, women, men drowning in the engush women, men drowning in the english channel. that's what we have to keep our eyes on. exactly what it is we're trying to do. and rwanda is part of that overall puzzle that we're trying to solve . so i think that trying to solve. so i think that the razorlight focus that certain people have on just the rwanda issue doesn't look at the overall issue . we're trying to overall issue. we're trying to break the evil of the gangs as the evil of death that is caused by them. and that's where i would like to see the church taking a view and saying, how do we destroy this evil? give us some other alternatives, then he thinks just thinks around. some other alternatives, then he thinks plant thinks around. some other alternatives, then he thinks plan is hinks around. some other alternatives, then he thinks plan is wickedround. some other alternatives, then he thinks plan is wicked .»und. some other alternatives, then he thinks plan is wicked . just >> the plan is wicked. just wants the whole he right the whole thing scrapped because he doesn't rwanda. doesn't think rwanda. >> i won't speak for the archbishop, it feels like archbishop, but it feels like it's not just the policy. yes, it's not just the policy. yes, it's the plan. it's the whole policy. yeah. whereas others are taking a view that there are
10:09 am
elements of the policy and hence now with the treaty, this is obviously currently we're debating the treaty that is coming that coming through and whether that enables us to the government to answer the questions that the high court placed on whether rwanda is safe. now, i, i sort of googled is rwanda safe on the way here? and you've got a whole mixture of different results. you've got, you know, tourism is booming in rwanda . a number of booming in rwanda. a number of colleagues, actually parliamentary colleagues have been there recently trips to been there recently on trips to assess. back assess. they've come back speaking in glowing terms. >> on the arsenal football club. >> it's on the arsenal arm. visit rwanda has been there for several years. yeah. you know i don't speak of that club because they're sport. other they're not my sport. the other north team, tottenham. north london team, tottenham. but but so we are. but but yes. so we are. absolutely. and what criteria are we establishing for safety. because if we go to a microscopic level, which is in some ways some people are going, then there isn't a country in then there isn't a country in the world that will say is safe. so there is a sense of the politics. use the criteria, the
10:10 am
moral obligation. but again , i moral obligation. but again, i come back to the evil that we're trying to stop , the things that trying to stop, the things that we're trying to actually not allow happen. it should be the bigger picture . bigger picture. >> again, we talk about this a lot. it's the election year, we think, and if they don't get these planes off the ground, coverit these planes off the ground, cover it does look like a government that can't get anything done. if you do get them off the ground, would it be enough to convince people to vote conservative? i think tomorrow's budget and how people feel about the money in their pocket is more important to them. >> i think you're right. i think you right. however, it is a you are right. however, it is a sense of you want a government to do what it says. to be able to do what it says. it's going to do. so whether people are fully care about the planes taking not. on planes taking off or not. on on most people's to day lives, planes taking off or not. on on most pnot.e's to day lives, planes taking off or not. on on most pnot be to day lives, planes taking off or not. on on most pnot be the to day lives, planes taking off or not. on on most pnot be the numberlives, planes taking off or not. on on most pnot be the number one , it may not be the number one priority. it'll be can i afford the things i need to afford food , electricity, the cost of living? and you're right, the budget a part budget will play a bigger part there. the chancellor a there. so the chancellor has a huge opportunity tomorrow . the
10:11 am
huge opportunity tomorrow. the conservative party will be looking for some rabbits out of the hat. >> why do i have this terrible sinking feeling that he's not going to have any. oh, there will be. >> i'm sure that i'm with andrew. >> where the two issues >> because where the two issues meld, people meld, of course, is where people look pay packet at the look at their pay packet at the end month they go, end of the month and they go, i cannot believe how much i've paid in tax. and they know paid in tax. and then they know they're £15 million a day paid in tax. and then they know th the prime minister has said that since it's january, think that since it's january, i think she's not convinced. that since it's january, i think shei. not convinced. that since it's january, i think shei don't onvinced. that since it's january, i think shei don't know,ed. that since it's january, i think shei don't know,e4just i did >> i don't know, ijust i did speak to an mp said he speak to an mp who said he thought might go to january. thought he might go to january. >> would very >> i think january would be very difficult many reasons. difficult for so many reasons. practical . practical reasons. >> a weather point of >> just on a weather point of view, a mistake. you view, january is a mistake. you want leave the house?

10:23 am
mean, george galloway has always been those characters, been one of those characters, and i've seen him around the house over the house of commons over the last sort years. it's his m.o. sort of 20 years. it's his m.o. he goes out there deliberately to start these conversations, to wind up the opposition and to get everybody talking about him . get everybody talking about him. yeah, and here we are. he has succeeded. and his point about it's going to be a muslim election will only because the prime minister seems to be reacted to every single word. george galloway says at the moment. and i think it just needs to calm down. >> yeah. and it's so funny, isn't it? because he would he would say he's standing on a ticket representing this ticket of representing this group people, muslims group of people, muslims and particularly in gaza, particularly muslims in gaza, who are being persecuted . ed and who are being persecuted. ed and yet to come out and say that he's such a divisive and incendiary thing to say to the british public, he's not going to bring people together in support. >> well, he's not i think >> well, he's not i don't think he either. i mean, he intends to either. i mean, that's george galloway. that's just george galloway. that's of thing that's that's the kind of thing he wonder if it'll he does. i wonder if it'll actually work, that at the
10:24 am
moment we're nudging closer to a ceasefire and they're talking about trying to negotiate one for six weeks from ramadan next week. already it's caused this this issue has caused starmer problem . president biden's problem. president biden's having a problem over in america. there's a lot of domestic reasons why why politicians want to get this off the ground. once you get the ceasefire there, everything else kind of blends away. other issues will then come up. so the protests had a thought would start to dissipate to a ceasefire happens . and the same ceasefire happens. and the same thing when it comes down to the general election, if the ceasefire holds, of course, if the ceasefire holds all the things. yeah, none of may things. yeah, none of this may happen. >> what? what is the >> and then what? what is the solution east with solution to the middle east with israel and. >> then we're back to >> well, then we're back to square. we're pretty square. we're we're pretty much back square anyway. back to square one. anyway. i mean, i mean, and if the and if the hostages haven't been released from gaza, well, there won't ceasefire unless the won't be a ceasefire unless the hostages least the hostages at least, at least the ones that are still alive, are released . so know of the released. so we know sort of the ground rules there. israel won't
10:25 am
take part in it just at the moment , but they take part in it just at the moment, but they may be take part in it just at the moment , but they may be forced moment, but they may be forced into it by america. >> is it person as well? claire of because he's an of galloway, because he's an ex—labour . if read ex—labour man. and if you read interviews him, says he's interviews him, he says he's labour instinct. he's gone labour by instinct. he's gone for the deputy. the labour party . he singled her out. angela rayner majority of only 4000. and he says she's vulnerable. >> he's not wrong. i mean, yes, she will be vulnerable just in the same way that every single mp is going to be vulnerable at this election. doesn't matter. sort of pretty much which party you're i find it, think you're in. i find it, i think it's he doesn't really like the starmer type of labour party. he is much more of a corbynista style of labour. it's old laboun style of labour. it's old labour. it's those slightly socially views, much more the than we have at present. so it's interesting that he singled out a woman . there are many other a woman. there are many other labour mps were probably smaller majorities than angela rayner, and he has gone straight to the heart of the labour party and picking on her. and i think in a
10:26 am
in a fight between those two, i'm not sure who the winner is because she is a real tough cookie and they want to use her all the country because all over the country because she's a big hitter. >> but he's if she's got >> but if he's got if she's got a strong candidate from galloway's her galloway's party in her constituency, hems constituency, that rather hems are does little are in it does a little bit. >> depends what her personal >> it depends what her personal vote really is going to be. yes, she had a slightly smaller majority at the last election , majority at the last election, but that really was more of a brexit election. now it has changed. that question has gone away for the majority of times. so it depends really on what the people of her constituency are going to be coming out and voting and what she brings to voting on and what she brings to that constituency, because never forget she works that hard. people know her very well and people like her, and that goes a long yeah, right . long way. yeah, right. >> talk about the church >> let's talk about the church of scandal. um so of england scandal. nigel. um so the church will agree. >> of course . all got together. >> of course. all got together. nigel will agree . nigel will agree. >> just wait. please just wait . >> just wait. please just wait. >> just wait. please just wait. >> i said, you know what? in the past, we have done bad things. we have been involved in
10:27 am

vaguely interested because one guest a major stir. guest has caused a major stir. let's have a look. >> gary goldsmith , the uncle to >> gary goldsmith, the uncle to the future queen of our country, catherine middleton, the current princess of wales . she is simply princess of wales. she is simply perfect. first time i met william , catherine was cooking william, catherine was cooking and william said, hi, do you want a cup of tea? very normal . want a cup of tea? very normal. i often read that people think i'm a bit of a bad boy. it'd be lovely to put the record straight, but winding people up is probably my favourite hobby. every part of me is just riddled with and danger. i'm an with mischief and danger. i'm an absolute nightmare to live with. >> so we're joined now by showbiz reporter stephanie taoiseach. good morning steph, good to see you. i watched big brother last and not brother last night and i've not watched for years and it was watched it for years and it was partly because he is an interesting what interesting character. if what itv get people to itv wanted was to get people to tune in, it works. >> it's definitely . but this was >> it's definitely. but this was a big win for i'm celebrity producers, you know, he you know, gary goldsmith is the loose lipped uncle that you would rather not have on the at

the party or on screen on a reality tv show. so he's a big winning for this season . on winning for this season. on whether he's going to last long. i don't know because already sharon osborne has potentially put him up for public nomination by friday. but, you know, gary's been courting the press over the last few years. and just before he went in the house, he'd done an interview with the sun where he said that he will be sharing family antidotes , which is not family antidotes, which is not really what the palace would want to hear, especially as kate is a way away from the limelight at the moment and he is a fiery character , he said. he's a character, he said. he's a nightmare to live with, so to be honest, the reason why i think the royals might be, you know , the royals might be, you know, hanging off the edge of their seat because all the headlines he generate will come he will generate will come indirectly back to kate. >> and of course, that's the whole reason they want him in their itv, because they want him to every time he's to be indiscreet every time he's indiscreet, we'll all be talking about programmes this i >> -- >> well, apparently andrew, you

know, apparently carol middleton has had a word with her brother before he went into the house to kind of give him the do's and donts kind of give him the do's and don'ts of what he's allowed to say in the house, but you see, the these producers work , the way these producers work, they've got fiery characters . they've got fiery characters. you might some characters you might have some characters in are harry in there who are pro harry and meghan and might say something wrong about kate . in a recent wrong about kate. in a recent interview he's he said interview he's done, he said kate racist . so all these kate is not racist. so all these headunes kate is not racist. so all these headlines are going to generate back to kate middleton, where it's out of it's out of the news cycle. so to have back cycle. so to have them back again is quite distasteful. you know, he's been paid money to get on there. so he has to give the what viewers the producers and what viewers potentially want from him . potentially want from him. >> do we know what they've paid him? stephanie sure what him? stephanie i'm not sure what he got paid. >> know sharon osborne , she >> i know sharon osborne, she might not be doing the whole three but apparently three weeks, but apparently she's paid half a million to she's got paid half a million to be in the for house just five days, don't think she'll be days, so i don't think she'll be for probably paid . for him. he's probably got paid. yeah, it's lot of money yeah, it's a lot of money because this is the series has been off air for at least five
10:45 am
years, so they've had to pay the top pound to get these stars to act up on this reality show . act up on this reality show. >> do you think reality shows are just losing favour with the public? stephanie. because i mean, look, i'm a celebrity was huge at the end of last year, wasn't it ? and this feels like wasn't it? and this feels like it's got a little bit of a revival now. i don't know why. i feel like it's just cutting through a little bit this year. maybe it's got also other people who their fern britton, a who are in their fern britton, a lovely lady. um, but there's quite an interesting distinction, isn't there, between people who are between the older people who are generation might know. fern britton , sharon osbourne. yeah. britton, sharon osbourne. yeah. louis walsh and then you've got the youngsters, the influencers who sharon osbourne and louis walsh were sat there watching them come in going. i have no idea that person is, which them come in going. i have no ide'lots that person is, which them come in going. i have no ide'lots of hat person is, which them come in going. i have no ide'lots of the person is, which them come in going. i have no ide'lots of the viewers s, which them come in going. i have no ide'lots of the viewers will1ich them come in going. i have no ide'lots of the viewers will be are lots of the viewers will be doing to. >> well, you know, kind of >> well, you know, it's kind of like double edged sword like a double edged sword because you've all these because you've got all these younger who are coming in younger celebs who are coming in and they've got a big following on media. so they're kind on social media. so they're kind of will bring the ratings
10:46 am
of fans will bring the ratings up for itv and older audiences might not be interested in. i'm a celebrity, but curiosity always kills the cat. so if you're getting people like fern britton, who might start talking about phillip schofield , you've about phillip schofield, you've got gary goldsmith who will talk about kate middleton. you about kate middleton. so you might hate reality but might hate reality tv shows, but you might just want to watch to see what these people will do. and age cancel and in this age of cancel culture, three weeks in a house, something is definitely going to go down. >> i think. i you said i'm >> i think. i think you said i'm a celebrity steph, but that's probably it's day probably because it's only day one. doing interviews one. if you're doing interviews about you so about big brother and you did so many brilliant interviews about i'm we've got a few i'm a celebrity, we've got a few more until that, we more months until that, but we will be talking to you regularly. steph, thank you so much. reporter stephanie much. showbiz reporter stephanie takyi. now. takyi. there now. >> i hope he doesn't get voted out straight away because i think going to quite think he's going to be quite he's be quite entertaining. >> yeah, he is quite well, exactly i you know what i exactly. i think you know what i take people them and take people as i find them and i'd like to make my own opinion about him if i watch much more of right um, is it rule,

10:53 am
in the caribbean. um, the sentiment of the song when it was written was obviously britain is ruling the waves. it'5 britain is ruling the waves. it's running the slave trade . it's running the slave trade. it'5 it's running the slave trade. it's colonising other countries . it's colonising other countries. it'5 it's colonising other countries. it's we're not worrying about visas and immigration when we go there to take over their people and their resources. and steal their resources. obviously it's all these obviously today it's all these immigrants we immigrants coming here. we weren't thinking about about border and border regimes when we went and colonised were we? colonised the world. were we? and the sentiment that and that was the sentiment that that that that song was written in that the the was written the song, the song was written in sentiment let's and in the sentiment of let's go and rule the waves, take people's resources, people's lives, resources, take people's lives, bnng resources, take people's lives, bring the uk, or bring them over to the uk, or not the uk, to the caribbean. not to the uk, to the caribbean. force to work for force them to work for us for free, etc. femi, we can free, etc. etc. and femi, we can all see with the passage of time that we might look back on that with a bit of modern model moral relativity and see that through a slightly different lens. >> happened. that >> however that happened. that was i think what was the past, and i think what you're saying is we should just now give up being a great now give up on being a great nation. we need to come with now give up on being a great n.song we need to come with now give up on being a great n.song we |basicallyyme with now give up on being a great n.song we |basically celebrates�*n a song that basically celebrates the we're losers on the fact that we're losers on the fact that we're losers on the stage, think the global stage, and i think language so language changes with time. so when hear britain never, never when i hear britain never, never shall be that means

11:10 am
actually give some sort of guidance about her condition , or guidance about her condition, or even where she was now. maybe somebody was listening . and that somebody was listening. and that little expedition yesterday day knowing that there would be someone around with a camera who might have snapped her. and there we see her in much happier times, and we hope that she returns to rude, good health very, very soon. so maybe this was a very subtle way of, uh scotching those rumours because as you know, if you've had a look at some dreadful stuff is being said. isn't it amazing ? being said. isn't it amazing? uh, andrew and beverly , isn't it uh, andrew and beverly, isn't it amazing that you can take something as wonderful and brilliant as the internet and social media and turn them into a cesspit or a piranha pool, or a cesspit or a piranha pool, or a mixture of the both . isn't it incredible? >> most most of the speculation that i've seen michael about her whereabouts has just been funny. there have been a lot of funny memes there was a meme last night that she walked into the big brother house, and there she
11:11 am
was. we wondered where she i mean, the british sense of humour brilliant at a humour comes out brilliant at a time like this. it was . some of time like this. it was. some of the stuff was hilarious online. yes and presumably she isn't reading it . reading it. >> there was a brazilian reference as well, which i'm sure you also saw, but some of it was really nasty . uh, about it was really nasty. uh, about her medical condition , an and her medical condition, an and uh, saying that she'd been put into an induced coma and intubated and so on and so forth, and, of course, kensington palace had to come out and say that it was total ludicrous and it was total nonsense . but if she was on the nonsense. but if she was on the school run yesterday with her mother, i think that is actually the key to it, because because she, through kp , issued she, through kp, issued a statement saying that she hoped the public would understand and i'll read it to you desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible , and her children as possible, and her children as possible, and her wish that her personal medical information remains
11:12 am

health because you, as you. well remember before she gave birth to prince george, she had suffered terrible morning sickness . she went into sickness. she went into hospital, and she has referred to it afterwards. if she thought it was appropriate and helped other people with the same condition to cope with it. so she wants to keep things private at the due time. if she feels happy about it, she should tell us whatever she wants to and until then , prying eyes should until then, prying eyes should be averted . all right. be averted. all right. >> thank you michael . >> thank you michael. >> thank you michael. >> great to talk to you as always. michael cole, former bbc royal correspondent who of course, i used to do with him when worked muhammad al when he worked for muhammad al fayed yeah, yeah, fayed had no idea. yeah, yeah, absolutely. we've got with absolutely. now we've got with us studio. um, kevin's us in the studio. um, kevin's here huffpost . here from huffpost. >> impressed with >> i was very impressed with these , uh, pocket these enormous, uh, pocket square, i've got to means square, i've got to say, means nothing like he's he so nothing like he's he's he so dapperis nothing like he's he's he so dapper is so dapper. >> kevin. um, george galloway, he's, um , he's larger than life. he's, um, he's larger than life. he's going to completely turn
11:15 am
parliament upside down, isn't he? i think so, and i think he's particularly going to cause trouble for labour. >> yeah. um, he wants to expose the divisions in the labour party over gaza and that still are huge divisions. now they've cobbled together a position now labour about immediate humanitarian ceasefire . now we humanitarian ceasefire. now we know that that was brought about to try and calm the rebellion, which they did manage to by leaning on the speaker. um, but george galloway has been very clear he will work with the snp to try and bring debate back to parliament. and another vote on an immediate ceasefire . now, an immediate ceasefire. now, given that, um , lindsay hoyle given that, um, lindsay hoyle has come in for a lot of criticism, the way he handled the last debate , you have to the last debate, you have to allow that vote to happen. you would have thought so. and that, again, could pose quite a lot of problems for labour. >> he i think it's interesting that name. that he's targeted by name. angela leader that he's targeted by name. anthea leader that he's targeted by name. anthe labour leader that he's targeted by name. anthe labour party leader that he's targeted by name. anthe labour party . leader that he's targeted by name. anthe labour party . is leader that he's targeted by name. anthe labour party . is it leader of the labour party. is it because she's a woman ? because she's a woman? >> i don't know if it's because she's a woman. i'm not surprised
11:16 am
that he's decided go after that he's decided to go after a woman in this way. um, what's interesting is from speaking to labour people is that they want angela rayner to play a very prominent role, of course, in the election campaign. so where, um, george galloway's party. and to put up some sort of high profile candidate. i don't know who um, and make who that would be. um, and make that a big issue in the campaign. and that would, that would her down in would it would pin her down in thea majority of 4000. >> a majority of 4000. >> a majority of 4000. >> yeah, exactly. so, you know, it's if she's i mean, i'd it's not as if she's i mean, i'd say she probably safe say she probably is safe. safe but any time that she but you know, any time that she needs to spend in her seat means there's less time when she's out around country campaigning there's less time when she's out around the ountry campaigning there's less time when she's out around the party! campaigning there's less time when she's out around the party thinksaigning there's less time when she's out around the party thinks that ng because the party thinks that she's huge asset. she's a she has a huge asset. >> this morning, i find >> i said this morning, i find him very character. him a very slippery character. i'm massively familiar with i'm not massively familiar with his backstory, but his political backstory, but i've be described as i've seen him be described as far left, and i've seen him be described as far , far right. described as far, far right. >> i know i caught he's on the corbyn wing of the labour party, and so why? and so but but why? >> what about him that >> what is it about him that that would define him in 2020? i think those terms are pretty
11:17 am
much 2024. anyway much redundant in 2024. anyway but what about is it but but what what about is it about his politics kevin that see him on the far left of the of politics. >> well he certainly wasn't. he was in labour he was was in the labour party. he was on of the party. that's on the left of the party. that's undeniable. i his antiwar undeniable. i think his antiwar stance probably going to undeniable. i think his antiwar stariraq probably going to undeniable. i think his antiwar stariraq warybably going to undeniable. i think his antiwar stariraq war and.y going to undeniable. i think his antiwar stariraq war and preceding to undeniable. i think his antiwar stariraq war and preceding it. to the iraq war and preceding it. actually. did the first iraq war. was much against, war. he was very much against, um, western intervention in the middle east. i think that placed him on the left of politics. what was interesting, you mentioned jeremy corbyn. now, jeremy corbyn didn't up yesterday. >> he was supposed to, uh, introduce >> he was supposed to, uh, intryeah, exactly. and he made >> yeah, exactly. and he made sure he was not around . i sure that he was not around. i think a there's a split think there's a there's a split there that there, um, between them that they don't see eye to eye on, on casa , actually. and so . yeah. so casa, actually. and so. yeah. so jeremy corbyn, um , made sure he jeremy corbyn, um, made sure he wasn't around. >> so they rolled out the speaker of the father of the house by. he had to do it. yeah it and an mp from the alba party, neil from the snp. >> that was a bit of a surprise. >> that was a bit of a surprise. >> yeah. kevin, we've got to love you and leave you. i'm afraid we've run out of time,

11:23 am
>> yeah. >> yeah. >> is right though. do we >> is he right though. do we need a general election now? or at is the we need at least may is the we need a general election soon as we general election as soon as we can one. can possibly have one. >> they'll actually >> yes. whether they'll actually do have see. but do it, we'll have to see. but they've been the they've been laying the groundwork so, groundwork since last year. so, um, things um, the um, things like the, um, the national insurance cut came in in that you in january that gave you four months packets to lead up in january that gave you four m he'll ignore the european court. >> well, that's that's what he
11:24 am
said he did. that's what that's what he said he did. >> overdue. well, that >> but long overdue. well, that would fillip in the polls. >> yes it would. i mean, the whole thing is a very tight whole thing is it's a very tight deadune whole thing is it's a very tight deadline and i still think deadline line. and i still think that when you at the polls that when you look at the polls at moment, um, i think may at the moment, um, i think may the 2nd always the plan. the the 2nd was always the plan. the polls me make it look like, polls to me make it look like, oh, do we really want to get completely wiped mean, completely wiped out? i mean, there poll yesterday that there was a poll yesterday that left with 25 mp5. no it left tories with 25 mp5. no it didn't i didn't buy that. no, nor do i. i don't believe it'll happen. polls will narrow nor do i. i don't believe it'll happethe polls will narrow nor do i. i don't believe it'll happethe election will narrow nor do i. i don't believe it'll happethe election comes. rrow nor do i. i don't believe it'll happethe election comes. but when the election comes. but that figure. so at the that was the figure. so at the moment you're kind of thinking i hope something turns up or labour make a mess of things or something that. yeah. and something like that. yeah. and you go long but certainly you then go long but certainly may. the second remains may. the second still remains a possibility. claire >> i think the longer you leave it, it gets. that's it, the worse it gets. that's what think. um he really does what i think. um he really does any worse . oh it can. yeah, it any worse. oh it can. yeah, it can it absolutely can. >> um, yeah. >> um, yeah. >> we've not seen anything yet. yeah. and i think that you, as nigel said, you had the national insurance in january. they insurance cut in january. they hoped that that would give
11:25 am
people a boost. however there was still things that went wrong in and had in between times. and we've had by elections . you know, there's by elections. you know, there's always something . it doesn't always something. it doesn't matter what the news for matter what the good news is for the government. always the government. there's always something and messes something that goes and messes it sidelines. it up in the sidelines. normally, their normally, one of their own members stupid, members saying something stupid, doing causing doing something stupid, causing a you know, doing something stupid, causing a as you know, doing something stupid, causing a as maybe. you know, doing something stupid, causing a as maybe. but)u know, doing something stupid, causing a as maybe. but i| know, doing something stupid, causing a as maybe. but i do |ow, doing something stupid, causing a as maybe. but i do think that's as maybe. but i do think that's as maybe. but i do think that to avoid the drubbing like we had in the last set of local elections last year, you do it all and get the pain. all on one day and get the pain. >> galloway momentum. >> is galloway has momentum. i know one man, but if know he's only one man, but if he's to stand he's going to stand 5060 candidates, know there's candidates, we know there's already muslims already independent muslims standing already independent muslims stan(profile libraries. already high profile libraries. already that could peter out by that momentum could peter out by after may, but he's got momentum between now and then. and i think that could be another factor. >> i see i don't think that momentum will last very long. right. | momentum will last very long. right. i think that, uh, the george sort of press george galloway sort of press conference kind of his conference that's kind of his last hurrah. he's now elected. yeah, he's in the house of commons. he's given his press conference. he'd like to speak in the budget debate. he's got to do a maiden speech and then
11:26 am
what? and if we the what? and if we do get the ceasefire we're hoping ceasefire that we're all hoping for in middle east, that for in the middle east, that kind of buzz, that's everything that been on. so that he's been standing on. so i think naturally, the think that naturally, the political moves on. political train moves on. i think look at general think people look at general elections very differently from by elections, and we can never extrapolate what happens in by elections with what's going to happen nationally. but i think also what what, um , george also what what, um, george galloway tells us is that people are sick of both parties, both main parties , and there will main parties, and there will have been people that voted for george galloway, not just on the gaza issue, but actually on the fact that they just wanted somebody independent, a thorn in the side of establishment. the side of the establishment. >> was a this was >> but this was a this was a freak by—election. i mean, i mean, as claire says, you can't always to always predict what's going to happen a happen nationally through a by—election. was by—election. but this one was particularly unusual . so labour particularly unusual. so labour voters to go . so, voters had nowhere to go. so, yeah, i it was more yeah, i think it was more significant than george galloway getting that it was a getting elected. that it was a local businessman who came second purely on local issues . second purely on local issues. so people were saying, well, look, we don't fancy the tories
11:27 am
lib dems or that's my point. >> everyone's sick of the establishment . establishment. >> i think that i think that's true. so there is room for someone to through to someone to come through to honour something that. honour something like that. >> if that had >> in fact, if that chap had had another week, wonder if he another week, you wonder if he might might have woi'i. >> e- e might have won. >> yeah, he might have won. >> yeah, he might have won. >> was piling up votes. >> he was piling up votes. >> he was piling up votes. >> except that every seat is going to be contesting with a very muslim very organised sized muslim community who get out and they vote and they don't have a choice . yeah. and if we're not choice. yeah. and if we're not careful , the conservatives and careful, the conservatives and labour will find that their traditional voters, be that the white british, christian, let's call them whatever working person, just not going to person, it's just not going to bother remember, at the >> well, and remember, at the last it was thought last election, it was thought that 86% the vote went that 86% of the muslim vote went to yes that's enormous. to labour. yes that's enormous. yeah. mean, that's a 4 yeah. i mean, that's a 4 million. there are million million. there are 4 million strong labour maybe as strong labour seat, maybe as many are in trouble many as 50 who are in trouble because happening because of what's happening in gaza. interesting, isn't gaza. really interesting, isn't it? would ever >> now, claire, would you ever kiss a tory? >> well, i think this one's probably better aimed at nigel. um, and it's quite an interesting poll. that was , uh, interesting poll. that was, uh, i saw on the internet this
11:28 am
morning about attitudes to from conservative supporters as to if their friend married a labour supporter . their friend married a labour supporter. and i think generally the tories just went mia. yeah. >> we don't mind. doesn't m atter. >> matter. >> we're welcoming . we're >> we're welcoming. we're welcoming. you look at the labour figures, however. absolutely tribal. but it didn't stop nigel quite clearly that, um, having married claire, i'll never get invited to another labour event again. >> so, um, if this if this poll is exactly right , i >> so, um, if this if this poll is exactly right, i mean, it never actually occurred. occurred to us that the at the time was a going back a few years. i was a labour remainer. claire a tory brexiteer. yeah claire is a tory brexiteer. yeah we've we've talked about politics endlessly. we do it all the time at home. we've never actually fallen out over it. we've always argued politics through maybe because we're involved with it so much, but we've never actually actually had a fall out. i mean, maybe we will some point will at some point in the future, but haven't future, but we haven't yet. >> you quite >> but that makes you quite unusual, because do very much unusual, because we do very much struggle find leaning struggle to find left leaning voices and
11:29 am
voices that will come on and have frank uncensored. >> are great, robust conversations. >> why is it that the political left are so reluctant to sit in the oxygen of publicity and get their point across? >> well, i mean, i think they should , um, it seems to be should, um, it seems to be ridiculous to turn and say, oh, i won't, i won't appear, appear there or i won't go. >> we're not the only outlet. >> we're not the only outlet. >> no, that's right. >> no, that's right. >> for other media outlets where where voices just where left leaning voices just won't come on and have the conversation. >> yeah, well, i mean, they won't the argument. well, won't make the argument. well, the making the whole point is making the argument. jonathan argument. i mean, jonathan ashworth who we just saw, he's very of the view that if very much of the view that if someone like him doesn't make the argument, somebody worse will. yeah um, so on the basis of that, i don't know why why the left so snooty about it. the left is so snooty about it. >> sometimes i think it's because the left and i consider myself be fairly apolitical. myself to be fairly apolitical. i the tribal i don't feel the tribal allegiance either the allegiance to either the conservatives or labour, particularly not this year. um, but i do think sometimes the left think with their emotion rather than their facts. you're all about the field , whereas
11:30 am
all about the field, whereas claire might be all about the facts. is there some truth in that? >> i think it's more about being certain of your opinion, and i think sometimes games with left leaning voices , they aren't leaning voices, they aren't convinced that their argument is right. it will to stand up scrutiny, and they don't want to put it there. yes. and if put it out there. yes. and if you it with somebody you debate it with somebody from the like we do the opposite side, like we do frequently, it makes frequently, actually, it makes you better putting your you much better at putting your points across . points across. >> got a mug at home, by >> i've got a mug at home, by the way, saying never the way, saying i've never kissed a oh. kissed a tory. oh. >> yeah at a labour >> have you. yeah at a labour conference was conference i did, and it was presented to a labour presented to me by a labour party officer and party press officer and said, i know is a waste time. know this is a waste time. >> i want you to have it because i kissed a tory i suspect you have kissed a tory and i have. >> yeah, right. >> yeah, right. >> and it's favourite mug, actually. >> thank you both for now . uh, >> thank you both for now. uh, we're go straight over we're going to go straight over to news where to the gb news room where tatiana sanchez waiting tatiana sanchez is waiting with your . your headlines. >> bev, thank you very much. your top stories from the gb newsroom . um, the nhs could be newsroom. um, the nhs could be facing real terms, funding cuts

>> but when you talk about liberal values, i mean, the idea that this this definition of extreme ism could encompass anything that undermines one's british values as well. well, first of all, we have to agree on what they are. and that's certainly not something that we can all do. sure >> yeah, it's difficult. and that's why probably, uh, the, the, the framework is, is taking some time to come out because it is really important. >> and to try to get this right and to, to encompass what are our core values and what we mean by undermining it. >> so this is not a simple thing, but i welcome, um, the way that the government is seeking to do more in this space, as i have been trying to do, as the government's put forward ideas, as the government's adviser on political violence and the idea of asking party leaders to say to their mps and councillors that they should not engage with with organisations like the palestine solidarity campaign on
11:41 am
its current trajectory, who are , its current trajectory, who are, um, clearly set on, on um, well or certainly are not reining in the kind of intimidation, uh, and, and uh, anti semitism that is occurring on their marches that actually we should be we should be clear . i go on, that actually we should be we should be clear. i go on, i'm just going to say but it also includes this not just about politics. >> it's not just about middle eastern politics. this could be anything a man is a anything as simple as a man is a man, woman a if it man, a woman is a woman. if it becomes unpopular say that becomes unpopular to say that particular, under particular, perhaps under a labour administration could particular, perhaps under a laldeemed inistration could particular, perhaps under a laldeemed extremism could particular, perhaps under a laldeemed extremism , could particular, perhaps under a laldeemed extremism , justould particular, perhaps under a laldeemed extremism , just even be deemed extremism, just even uttering that sentence could see you put in prison. >> well , well, that's what >> well, well, that's what exactly what you have to avoid. and that's why i think there is a, a process going on behind the scenes in government at the moment to try to make sure you can get this right, because freedom of speech is also a key part freedom part of this. and the freedom to, to protest and to be able to express values that that may cut
11:42 am
against the grain of whatever the progressive consensus is at absolutely at the moment. and actually, i would i would say that that freed um, of speech is a is a core part of our values in the, in the uk and it's really important that whatever that we, we bring forward is protects that and doesn't see people effectively being , uh, people effectively being, uh, hounded out for um, expression of, for expression of views . my of, for expression of views. my concern over political in my political violence remit has been the way that that people that organisations on the margins have actually it's not been about what the often what they've been saying, but it's been the intimidatory tactics that they've been using the, the implied threat of force to try to coerce a democratic process. and i think we should be much stronger about saying no to that as a country while allowing a freedom of freedom for people to express a range of views. >> what about people like chris
11:43 am
packham, lord walney, who said the other day that the bbc environment tall guy who said that he thinks it's absolutely right that just stop oil should be to outside of be able to protest outside of the of an mp . shouldn't the the home of an mp. shouldn't the mp be entitled to have some privacy protection in their privacy and protection in their home and not have a mob, potentially a baying mob, outside their home? yeah i thought what chris packham said was appalling. >> and i think for , for anyone >> and i think for, for anyone to express those views, he is a, um, a person with a, with a responsible position as a, as an anchor presenter on the, on the bbc and is not acceptable no matter how strongly you are feeling about something to take to a, you know, take up a protest outside people's private homes , worrying their families, homes, worrying their families, potentially intimidating their, their their children. but you've just actually this is what i'm really about. >> but you've just said exactly what concerns me. that is a
11:44 am
different sort of rule. presumably you can't encompass in this idea of extremism. you can't go and sit outside an mp5 house that can't be wrapped into this because that might one day be something that you feel strongly about. and that you feel strongly about, that you might want to go outside at mps house and about that. if house and protest about that. if you're doing that peacefully. why extremism and why why is that extremism and why is that freedom of speech? that about freedom of speech? that be about , that about freedom of speech? that be about, uh, that should be about, uh, perhaps perimeter of your perhaps the perimeter of your houseif perhaps the perimeter of your house if you want to live in that well i mean, i think that world. well i mean, i think we're in danger of, um, tripping over different things here, but my point is that you can feel really strongly about something. >> i feel strongly about climate change. it's right that i think we've declared a climate emergency in this country. but actually, the way to tackle this is in a liberal democracy is to get more people on your side side, to try to vote for the kind of measures that you want. and actually targeting an nps home, the implicit intimidation in that is that is in that and
11:45 am
the way that their family can be brought up with it is not acceptable. so it's not i'm not saying it's what people say. it's a way that we say it. and we've actually got to stand up for the kind of democratic society where there is a free and a passionate, a fierce exchange of views. but we do not descend into the kind of implicit threat of force and menace which we've been seeing too often, and which i would absolutely put people's homes . absolutely put people's homes. >> surely the law. >> surely the law. >> yeah. no, it should. absolutely. >> we have to be really careful that in the shadow of a middle eastern conflict, this government and subsequent governments don't come in and put a massive through the put a massive fist through the civil liberties of british people who have no intention of causing but causing anyone any harm, but need to speak freely need to be able to speak freely without of being need to be able to speak freely without for of being need to be able to speak freely without for it of being need to be able to speak freely without for it . of being arrested for it. >> well, yeah, i mean, i think in terms of people's homes, the law does already cover it. and that's why i don't think and i don't think it's acceptable. and
11:46 am
i want the police to be enforcing the law and actually, i think the, the prime minister on this is right to have to have reminded police of the reminded the police of the powers have to powers that they do have to protest outside , um, to, to stop protest outside, um, to, to stop these kind of intimidating protests outside people's homes. it'5 protests outside people's homes. it's really important that we, we separate the people's freedom to speak and to and to, um , be to speak and to and to, um, be able to put their views out there. but the need to do that in a way that's actually about freedom of speech, not an implicit, implicit threat, which i think if you end up demonstrating outside a an mp5 private home, that is that is effectively what you're doing andifs effectively what you're doing and it's not on well, thank you, lord walney. >> i appreciate the conversation. come in and we'll talk about it a bit more over maybe a pot of coffee. i'm not sure. we scratched surface. sure. we scratched the surface. it issue. we it is a complicated issue. we appreciate your time . it is appreciate your time. it is complicated. is. can't complicated. it is. i can't believe that under a conservative a conservative conservative mp, a conservative government was saying ban mps government was saying ban mp5 from . he's. from march. he's. >> he's not saying that ban >> no he's not saying that ban mps palestinian marches.
11:47 am
mp5 from palestinian marches. no. well don't think that's no. well i don't think that's going happen. and the going to happen. and the palestinian will palestinian marches will continue but the prime continue. but what the prime minister he wants minister is saying is he wants them policed properly. right. >> to with super >> we've got to go with super tuesday. who will us voters tuesday. but who will us voters pick their presidential pick as their presidential candidates? in candidates? it's a huge day in america. anywhere
11:48 am
11:49 am
11:50 am
for. big day in american politics. greg swenson is here to tell us all about it. so trump has basically managed to knock down the main hurdle standing in his way. tell us what happened, greg. >> yeah, it's probably the least exciting super tuesday we've had in generations , because it's in generations, because it's clear that biden is going to get the now. and the nomination for now. and then, of course, trump is winning virtually every important state or all the states except washington dc voted over the weekend. and nikki haley managed to win that. but it was 2000 voters in a very democratic town. so so yeah. so i think the outcome of super
11:51 am
tuesday is not in doubt. and it's just a matter of when he can't clinch it officially today. but he'll get enough delegates where it's clear that he's he's on a high because of the supreme court unanimously ruling that the attempt to get him barred from the ballot paper by states like colorado . that's by states like colorado. that's right. and, you know, it was a good day for trump, but it was also a great day for america and for the constitution. i mean, it was decision . and was a unanimous decision. and even the you know, even the liberals on the court, unrwa understand that this weaponization of the justice system or trump's adversaries using lawfare and then using, you know, attempts to keep him off the ballot or in other words, take the voters , take the words, take the voters, take the options. exactly let the voters decide. but to take away , you decide. but to take away, you know, this kind of the ultimate election interference is taking off the ballot. interestingly enough, they were sold on enough, they they were sold on beau biden that the left and the and the democrats in general and it's unfortunate because they kept his opponents like the
11:52 am
congressman from minnesota , the congressman from minnesota, the uh, dean phillips, they kept him and marianne williamson off the ballots in north carolina and florida. the democratic party . florida. the democratic party. so they've they've not only tried to rig the election with trump, but they also are rigging it within the democratic party. and i think they'll regret that, because now they're stuck with biden good. biden and it's not looking good. >> who's become . and by the >> and who's become. and by the time election, greg, time of the election, greg, i mean, up all the mean, he's seeping up all the time and mental time mentally. and he's mental agility is at best. >> yeah, the cognitive issues are obvious. he's failing on all the major issues of the top ten issues for americans. he's trailing trump on nine of ten, and the big issues, which are usually the economy, inflation and the border . usually the economy, inflation and the border. he's polling in the low 30s. and the border. he's polling in the low 305. so this is a disaster for the democrats . disaster for the democrats. >> can they not insist on a test of his cognitive abilities . they of his cognitive abilities. they shouldn't. you as he's not just going to be president. he's going to be president. he's going to be the commander in chief the military, but he's chief of the military, but he's just puppet, he?
11:53 am
just a puppet, isn't he? >> yeah. he really ? >> yeah. he's not. he really? yeah. they basically put yeah. i mean, they basically put him chair in 2020. you him in the chair in 2020. you know, he in fourth in iowa, know, he came in fourth in iowa, fifth hampshire. he a fifth in new hampshire. he was a failed candidate. but they knew that bernie sanders, know, that bernie sanders, you know, the jeremy corbyn america was the jeremy corbyn of america was going crushed in going to get crushed by trump in the so they pushed him the general. so they pushed him aside, biden in a chair and aside, put biden in a chair and then kept him in the basement. you know, the so—called basement campaign didn't let campaign where they didn't let him. they used covid an him. yeah, they used covid as an excuse, but now we know that it wasn't just covid, it was he. he is incapable of campaigning, and he's got a hopeless vice president. totally. and that's why in many ways, it was impeachment insurance. because nobody on the right wanted to have president kamala harris. she's she's actually polling below biden, if that's possible. it'5 below biden, if that's possible. it's not. they're both polling at the lowest level for any modern president or vice president. so to compare them to jemmy i think would jemmy carter, i think would be aninqu jemmy carter, i think would be an insult jemmy carter. an insult to jemmy carter. >> okay. greg thank you. good to be. here is. be. here it is. >> thanks. >> thanks. >> andhra politics. is it >> andhra politics. that is it from britain's newsroom for today. tomorrow andrew be today. tomorrow andrew will be
