3:00 am
britain, here we go. you will not believe what archbishop justin welby has done this time. next. >> good evening. from the newsroom. i'm sam francis, a quick look at the headlines. at just after 9:00, government ministers are challenging labour to set out its own funding plans after it backed the government's decision to cut national insurance. the non—dom tax status will be scrapped with the aim of raising revenue to make up for the £0.02 cut, though figures suggest any benefits for the taxpayer are likely to be cancelled out by an expected rise in council tax. earlier, jeremy hunt told gb news that his budget is proof that the government, he says, is making their fiscal plan work. >> we want to end the unfairness, the direction of travel we've gone is to reduce national insurance by one third. the fact that labour are opposing this today is really
3:01 am
because labour don't have any plans to reduce taxation. it sort of makes my point for me, their plan is basically that tax should remain at its current levels . we say we don't have to levels. we say we don't have to accept the status quo. if you make difficult decisions, if you stick to our plan for the economy, that's seen inflation falling and growth starting to rise, we can bring down the tax burden . burden. >> news in from kyiv tonight, where the uk has pledged a further £125 million of military support to ukraine in a major move against putin's invasion. our home and security editor mark white joined me earlier with more on what that announcement tonight will mean for ukraine's war efforts. >> this extra package , announced >> this extra package, announced by grant shapps on a visit to ukraine is very significant. hundreds of pounds and millions of pounds in extra commitment from the uk to provide 10,000 military drones. now the vast majority will be first person view drones, fpv drones , which
3:02 am
view drones, fpv drones, which can loiter over the battle space and drop their munitions on russian tanks and artillery. but it will also provide a thousand new one way attack drones. in addition to that, more maritime attack drones . attack drones. >> formula one team principal christian horner has called for an end to the intrusion into his personal life that comes as his accuser, a female employee of red bull racing , has today been red bull racing, has today been suspended on full pay following the team's investigation into allegations he made inappropriate moves. allegations he made inappropriate moves . those inappropriate moves. those claims against him, though, have now been dropped, and the 50 year old says he wants to draw a line and focus on formula one racing. and finally to the us, where joe biden is set to announce an emergency mission to build a temporary port in gaza so that humanitarian aid can be shipped into the region. the president will make that announcement in his state of the union speech later tonight. it's also reported he will use his fourth address to dispel any concerns about his age and

3:04 am
we should not take lectures in personal safety from a man who's organised an let at least one terrorist into britain. the church of england published a guide outlining to guide to clergy, outlining to them how they could help asylum seekers home office. seekers beat the home office. then one ex vicar revealed that at church there were muslim at his church there were muslim men raking in bags cash from men raking in bags of cash from other asylum seekers other muslim asylum seekers trying to stay in britain. as soon as the baptism had taken place , the firms were on the place, the law firms were on the phone the vicars to vouch phone asking the vicars to vouch for them 40 stockholm for them. 40 bibby stockholm migrants have apparently been bapfised. migrants have apparently been baptised . there have been mass baptised. there have been mass asylum seeker baptism in the sea. the vicar involved revealed most of them and this is a shocking bit. never bothered to go to church again after they had their passport. how many dangerous, violent , threatening dangerous, violent, threatening terrorists have wandered into britain using welby's church as their welcome mat? the church initially distanced themselves from any wrongdoing, but the clock is ticking now for welby, and he knows it. they have now launched urgent review into launched an urgent review into their asylum seeker conveyor belt, the comeuppance belt, and the real comeuppance
3:05 am
is come next week, is likely to come next week, when the home affairs select committee speaks to the vicar who exposed the asylum baptism scam . and justin welby has said scam. and justin welby has said that mps need to be more respectful to each other. this is the bloke who brought up the nazis when referring to the rwanda plan. rise in international human rights law grew out of the horrors of the 19405, grew out of the horrors of the 1940s, where a government that in 1933 and germany had been legally and properly elected passed horrific laws that did terrible things . i can't help terrible things. i can't help but wonder if this guy is just trying to drum up sympathy before the reckoning. crimea river archbishop a river big enough that you could baptise a fake asylum seeker in it. let's get the thoughts of my panel. it is former ukip deputy chair and political commentator suzanne evans. we've got conservative peer lord bailey and ex—labour advisor matthew laza . suzanne,
3:06 am
advisor matthew laza. suzanne, i'll start with you. is welby just crying crocodile tears? >> do we think, oh my goodness, yes. i mean, you summed it up beautifully there, patrick. you know, he lives in a palace. he works in a palace. he's scared. how does he think the rest of us feel facing this terror threat? and been a disaster for the and he's been a disaster for the church of england, i think ever since he was appointed . really? since he was appointed. really? you this week talking you know, this week he's talking about about hate about people talking about hate speech. you know, last week it was wanted billion for was he wanted £1 billion for reparations slave trade. reparations for the slave trade. before it was denying, as before that, it was denying, as you said, fact the you said, the fact that the church facilitating illegal church was facilitating illegal migration through these fake conversions. he was conversions. before that, he was opposing the illegal migration bill. before that, he was talking about brexit being xenophobic. let's not forget , he xenophobic. let's not forget, he shut the churches during covid when most of us needed some spiritual support and some company. i think was a company. i think that was a shameful to do . he really shameful thing to do. he really doesn't thousands doesn't speak for thousands of church members like church of england members like myself, who did vote brexit, who think we're we're facing a national emergency because of
3:07 am
the troubles and the risks that uncontrolled immigration is putting us through. and we don't think money we put in our collection plate should be going to a bunch left wing, to a bunch of left wing, anti—christian, anti—british , anti—christian, anti—british, anti—slavery campaigners. you've got this 200 year old grievance, serious question marks as to whether he's running a church or a group isn't there. a woke lobby group isn't there. >> sean, i'll ask you >> but sean, i'll ask you. you know, he's that he's know, he's saying that he's carrying alarm . has he carrying a panic alarm. has he not us all risk? not put us all at risk? >> i look, firstly, it's a real shame he has shame that he feels like he has to a panic alarm, but it to carry a panic alarm, but it just shows that where we are just shows you that where we are now our public discourse, now of our public discourse, we cannot any kind of disagreement. >> because if you're not with someone, apparently it's all right attack someone. he right to attack someone. but he has careful about has to be very careful about using hate speech. using words. hate speech. i personally the definition personally think the definition is wide . if you say is far too wide. if you say something me i don't something to me that i don't consider hate speech, then matthew speech matthew can consider hate speech and you're trouble. and somehow you're in trouble. i think to do something think we need to do something about the most about that. but the most important gets to important thing is who gets to decide what's speech? this decide what's hate speech? this sounds me. he's sounds orwellian to me. he's saying we should be more civil to other. and of course to each other. and of course that's but remember,
3:08 am
that's true. but remember, he hasn't been about hasn't always been civil about the government. he needs the government. and if he needs to lead by example, you could always politicians always accuse politicians of needing to lead by example. but he an even bigger he probably has an even bigger example by. i go example to lead by. but i go back point. who gets to back to my point. who gets to decide what is hateful or not? if our parliamentarians cannot talk about the tough things in life, the problems this country faces , we simply deal with faces, we simply won't deal with them. someone can say we them. and if someone can say we don't that conversation, don't like that conversation, you the nonsense they you get into the nonsense they held campuses safe held on university campuses safe space isn't space while parliament isn't a safe is where safe space, parliament is where we deal with all of the problems and challenges this country faces . yeah. faces. yeah. >> indeed. matthew, i'll >> no, indeed. matthew, i'll throw you on one. throw it to you on this one. i mean, welby's been in hot water numerous times, whether it was, mean, welby's been in hot water nun know, times, whether it was, mean, welby's been in hot water nun know, standingiether it was, mean, welby's been in hot water nunknow, standing accused was, mean, welby's been in hot water nunknow, standing accused ofs, you know, standing accused of covering up some very dodgy you know, standing accused of coverin inrp some very dodgy you know, standing accused of coverin in the)me very dodgy you know, standing accused of coverin in the churchy dodgy you know, standing accused of coverin in the church ofiodgy you know, standing accused of coverin in the church of england figures in the church of england , whether not over, the , whether or not it's over, the latest issues, whether latest slavery issues, whether or presiding over or not it's presiding over an asylum fake conveyor or not it's presiding over an asyl|issue fake conveyor or not it's presiding over an asyl|issue , fake conveyor or not it's presiding over an asyl|issue , surelyze conveyor or not it's presiding over an asyl|issue , surely it's)nveyor or not it's presiding over an asyl|issue , surely it's headsr or not it's presiding over an asyl|issue , surely it's heads on belt issue, surely it's heads on the chopping block at some point. >> well, i think it certainly his head's going to be on the chopping block, as suzanne says, from a lot ordinary members from a lot of ordinary members of of england. of the church of england. because what i find
3:09 am
because look what i find slightly this is. slightly funny about this is. yes, you know, hate yes, look, you know, using hate speech try close down the speech to try and close down the debate, when actually say debate, when actually i'd say that takes fairly extreme that he takes a fairly extreme position issue himself . i position on the issue himself. i don't, frankly agree with extremism on either side of the debate. i do think the debate could with the tone going could do with the tone going down substance up. down and the substance going up. you the hot air and you know, the less hot air and more detail of how stop more detail of how we stop the boats smash gangs and boats and smash the gangs and make a real change in migration in this country. but, you know, i think it's a bit much for him to be, on the one hand, calling out other people and then him being as harsh as he is. so, you know, i'd be much more prepared to listen to him if he less to listen to him if he was less absolute saying, know, absolute in saying, you know, and wasn't and if and if the church wasn't issuing so, issuing these, these guides. so, you slightly you know, you know, i'm slightly you know, i'm to listen. but at i'm prepared to listen. but at the he's me off. the moment he's putting me off. >> yeah. okay. i mean, one of the that really wound me the things that really wound me up as journalist, we were up was as a journalist, we were going him all this going to him when all of this conveyor coming conveyor belt issue was coming out. going out. we were going to him repeatedly. mean, the repeatedly. i mean, i've got the emails here. we were going to the england, it the church of england, and it was the same about it's

3:11 am
>> you think during the home >> do you think during the home affairs committee swear affairs select committee swear on asked on the bible when he's asked these you these questions about, did you know stuff going know that this stuff was going on? you like on? because, you know, like i said in the past, there's question marks as whether question marks as to whether or not been entirely truthful not he's been entirely truthful about did not. about what he did or did not. i've got members the i've got to say, members of the church, to sit and church, i'm not going to sit and say i'm great friends with the man. >> we both sit in, the lords. i see regularly. see him regularly. >> you don't always get >> he you don't always get hello, you? >> he you don't always get helsure. you? >> he you don't always get helsure. no, ? >> he you don't always get helsure. no, i don't always get >> sure. no, i don't always get a hello, i'd have to say he a hello, but i'd have to say he does not strike a does not strike me as a dishonest think we need dishonest man. i think we need to the benefit. to give him the benefit. >> what worries me? >> what worries me? >> interestingly, some some priests on priests won't actually swear on the they're in a the bible even if they're in a courtroom on the basis that what they truth might they think is the truth might actually not the truth. so actually not be the truth. so i think he might interesting think he might be interesting to see whether he'd refuse that or not. for me, comment not. but for me, your comment about woke lobby about him being a woke lobby group brilliant. why on group was brilliant. why on earth focus on earth doesn't he focus on spreading gospel on the spreading the gospel on the fundamentals christian fundamentals of the christian faith? been faith? since welby's been around, the church of around, you know, the church of england has around 200,000 england has lost around 200,000 members.think i think >> and i think i think what's interesting his interesting about about his position it's that position is that it's not that it's left wing, it's liberal with big l, and i think with a very big l, and i think it will equally big thorn
3:12 am
it will be an equally big thorn in the side of labour in the side of a labour government. >> i mean, ijust government. >> i mean, i just think >> this is i mean, i just think this so deaf. people this is so tone deaf. i people look their lot look over their shoulder a lot now they're around. now when they're walking around. people on the people feel less safe on the streets. people see things like people feel less safe on the strematernity.e see things like the maternity. >> i think people want compassion bomber. >> people things >> people feel people see things like, they don't want they like, but they don't want they don't church be don't want the church to be taken ride. don't want the church to be takiand ride. don't want the church to be takiand i'd ride. don't want the church to be takiand i'd be e. don't want the church to be takiand i'd be much more prepared >> and i'd be much more prepared to to his compassion if to listen to his compassion if they taken they weren't being taken for a ride over this baptisms issue. >> he isn't displaying compassion. what he's displaying is liberal of the world is a liberal view of the world he if he if was being is a liberal view of the world h
3:13 am
agree with the means and may well be wrong in that. that is, of course, after it emerged, he said anyway, that he carries a panic alarm with him. do you think this is just a tactic to take the heat off him ahead of ahead of what we've got at this home affairs select committee season? >> i think it was rather >> i think it was a rather stupid thing for him to admit, actually, it's so actually, i it's so contradictory, isn't it? on the one hand, he's trying to make that we have to accommodating that we have to be accommodating to have to be to immigrants. we have to be accommodating refugees. to immigrants. we have to be accommodating refugees . and i accommodating to refugees. and i totally refugees. totally agree. genuine refugees. absolutely. but absolutely. absolutely. yes but people who've been vetted and checked we know they're checked and we know they're not coming evil intent. coming here with evil intent. and he's saying he carries and then he's saying he carries a it seems to me and then he's saying he carries a contradicting;eems to me and then he's saying he carries a contradicting him.; to me he's contradicting him. >> so, and i think he >> i think so, and i think he needs check privilege to needs to check his privilege to use the to use the phrase. >> i've got to say, got >> i've got to say, i've got worried wing threat. >> i've got, i've i've got >> i've got, i've got i've got to he's he's statement is a to say he's he's statement is a reasonable place be. there's reasonable place to be. there's many who would many and many appear who would agree him. but the problem agree with him. but the problem is, the of all the is, is in the context of all the other things he said. and the reason why the alarm may reason why the panic alarm may be bit tone deaf is be a little bit tone deaf is because he hasn't understood the
3:14 am
pressure else pressure that everybody else feels. and if he did, he feels. yeah. and if he did, he may have. >> and all the mps and peers who don't have a chauffeur driven car feel panic when they see their bills. car feel panic when they see the people lls. car feel panic when they see the people feel panic when >> people feel panic when a migrant hotel is plonked down the road. >> wants to being jewish. >> he wants to try being jewish. if you're jewish in london, if you're in london, dare you're jewish in london, i dare say the whole panic. you say the whole country panic. you feel i have a jewish feel real panic. i have a jewish friend, said friend, right? and i just said to why don't you come to to him, why don't you come to the end see me? and he the west end to see me? and he the west end to see me? and he the phone just went quiet he the phone just went quiet and he said, kidding? said, are you kidding? there's no will no part of me that will ever come the end. come to the west end. >> i'll tell what a little >> i'll tell you what a little bit later on. a little bit later on. i've got some absolutely shocking footage for you of essentially extremists against jews. , i won't i jews. but oh, anyway, i won't i won't tell you everything. i have to you. but it have to show it to you. but it is remarkable now how white extremism longer fringe extremism is no longer a fringe issue . fryston. anyway, still to issue. fryston. anyway, still to come, £1 million has been set aside for a memorial to muslim world war ii veterans. is this a good use of taxpayer money, do we think, should our government be? oh, i don't know. building religious monuments or, i don't know, giving it to know, maybe giving it to homeless anyway, nigel

3:19 am
this -- this is patrick christys. tonight. we're only on gb news is a statue dedicated to muslim world war ii heroes. a good use of taxpayers money. £1 million of taxpayers money. £1 million of it. by the way, nigel farage weighs in on that very, very soon. but first, it's time for our head to head. yeah, it's a really good one tonight. so a sensational row has broken out between jk rowling and india willoughby , after the harry willoughby, after the harry potter author branded the trans broadcaster a man. but in an interview yesterday, willoughby revealed that she's called the police. >> k rowling is definitely committed a crime. i'm legally a woman . she knows i'm a woman, so woman. she knows i'm a woman, so you reported jk rowling. i have reported jk rowling to the police for what she said, which
3:20 am
i don't know if that's going to be treated as a hate crime. >> malicious communications, but it's a cut and dried offence as far as i'm concerned. >> i think as far as i'm concerned, it's the important bit there. j.k. rowling then immediately hit back. she said some time ago, lawyers advise me that not only did i have a clearly winnable case against india willoughby for defamation , india willoughby for defamation, but the india's obsessive targeting over the past targeting of me over the past few years may the legal few years may meet the legal threshold for harassment. so you've heard both sides now help me settle this with india. will it be right to report jk rowling to the police for calling them a man? let me know your thoughts by emailing gb views at gb news. com tweet me at gb news. go and vote in our poll. but to debate this now, i'm joined by social commentator amy ansell and the influencer olly london. both of you, thank you very much, olly. i start with you india. i will start with you india. will to report? jk will it be right to report? jk rowling to the police? >> think it's >> absolutely not. i think it's totally farcical and a waste of
3:21 am
police resources. you know, while rowling is a champion while jk rowling is a champion for women's rights, i think india willoughby has been nothing a that has nothing but a bully that has targeted rowling over many, targeted jk rowling over many, many years. and jk rowling tweeted has tweeted herself that she has grounds to sue india willoughby for harassment. so i think you know , india will be trying to know, india will be trying to play know, india will be trying to play victim and look the truth is not transphobic. while people can respectful for people's can be respectful for people's identities, and people do identify in different ways that should not come at the cost of women's rights, should not come at a cost of bullying people like rowling because like jk rowling because a real hate crime is when people hate crime is when jewish people are central london are attacked in central london on weekend . a real hate crime on a weekend. a real hate crime is when jewish journalist is is when a jewish journalist is attacked corner . attacked in speakers corner. that hate crime. it is not that is a hate crime. it is not a hate call a man a man i >> -- >> yeah, amy, it's not a hate crime call a a man. well, crime to call a man a man. well, listen , india willoughby is listen, india willoughby is legally a woman . legally a woman. >> she had gender reassignment surgery. she has a her, passport. says she's female . her passport. says she's female. her

3:23 am
followers. that's so powerful. >> patrick ollie, is that is that fair enough? or, you know , that fair enough? or, you know, yet again, we're just dealing with feelings here. >> only in this >> well, the only victim in this situation is rowling, who has situation is jk rowling, who has been by been relentlessly bullied by india and many other india willoughby and many other trans simply for trans activists simply for initially saying that biological men can't menstruate. that was her initial tweet, and she's been subjected to abuse, stalkers, harassment ever since. and i think it's really shameful for someone like india willoughby to play the victim when live in such a great, when we live in such a great, inclusive country where respectful regardless inclusive country where restheir ul regardless inclusive country where restheir identities, regardless inclusive country where restheir identities, nobodydless inclusive country where restheir identities, nobody has; of their identities, nobody has an issue. as long as you're not affecting women's rights. if a biological man goes into a women's space, women's sports , women's space, women's sports, thatis women's space, women's sports, that is an issue. but if you're just going about your life, you're affecting other just going about your life, you're nobodyting other just going about your life, you're nobody has other just going about your life, you're nobody has an er just going about your life, you're nobody has an issue and people. nobody has an issue and jk rowling not transphobic. jk rowling is not transphobic. she how someone she doesn't care how someone identifies. only cares about identifies. she only cares about these misogynist people like india are india willoughby that are targeting women and trying to silence their voices. >> i mean , amy, as i >> okay, i mean, amy, as i understand it, it has already been established law that been established in law that this is a crime. with the this is not a crime. with the maya forstater case, is there a

a woman . and while a biological woman. and while you change a of paper you can change a piece of paper and he is a woman, he and say that he is a woman, he simply isn't. and look, everybody's this everybody's inclusive in this country. nobody has an country. nobody really has an issue. you're going issue. but when you're going around take away around trying to take away women's you're women's rights, when you're going women, women's rights, when you're going is women, women's rights, when you're going is what women, women's rights, when you're going is what india women, women's rights, when you're going is what india willoughby which is what india willoughby is doing to jk rowling, that is where should line. where you should draw the line. and know, have to accept and you know, we have to accept reality inclusive can reality as inclusive as we can be. a man a man. be. a man is a man. >> and would you say, ollie >> and what would you say, ollie , to somebody who says, oh, what what said there is transphobic? >> well, i'll tell you what, it is transphobic and what makes life hard for actual trans people like india people is people like india willoughby constantly willoughby that are constantly trying to an oppressed trying to be an oppressed minority, constantly victims. trans had great trans people have had great rights this country for many, rights in this country for many, many been many years. they've been accepted society . however, many years. they've been acc
3:26 am
they're to their they're causing harm to their own community. >> about all of their >> amy, what about all of their death threats that jk rowling has had? i mean, surely she's got as much of a case against india. willoughby as anyone else, really. i mean, she's had people threatening to turn up at her house. she's had threats to burn her house down with her inside when all of this inside it. and when all of this vile, stuff, a of vile, disgusting stuff, a lot of that has from the that has come from from the trans community allies like trans community or allies like i said, jk rowling has 14 million followers, india willoughby has had thousands upon thousands of death threats of violence. i mean, she like i said, she's so afraid for her life. she. yes. and she's afraid for her life. she actually just tweeted, i can read it to you. she. >> you're gonna have to, because she's blocked me. >> get murdered. you know who to blame? stochastic terrorism . blame? stochastic terrorism. this what she's doing. this this is what she's doing. this is jk rowling can't is all because jk rowling can't simply refer and respect india willoughby's, sexual orientation
3:27 am
i >> -- >> okay, -_ >> okay, i'm ham >> okay, i'm just going to read. i'll. i'll give you the final say on this. this is the latest from jk rowling. the word transphobic as used here. she's referring to the piece that was was earlier on, does not was put out earlier on, does not mean irrational or mean an irrational fear or dislike of trans people. it means refusing to use gender identity ideologies, jargon, refusing to parade slogans , refusing to parade slogans, refusing to parade slogans, refusing to parade slogans, refusing to accept that sex doesn't matter when it comes to sport or single—sex spaces, refusing to believe a bearded, heterosexual man becomes a lesbian when he declares himself one, and refusing to believe an abusive, misogynistic male is a woman because he likes to wear mini dresses and pout in selfies . is that offensive? >> well, look, if you want to identify as a woman that's on you, you know? but when you're coming for women like jk rowling and trying to take away their rights, to charge her rights, trying to charge her with crime, you know, jk with a hate crime, you know, jk rowling of uk's rowling is one of the uk's biggest philanthropists. she's an activist an incredible activist and advocate people advocate for so many people kids, women. and it's just so wrong india willoughby to
3:28 am
wrong for india willoughby to play wrong for india willoughby to play victim. yes, there are real victims transphobia in victims of transphobia in countries and in places in the middle east where they can get thrown off buildings, they can get death. these are get stoned to death. these are real transphobia, but real victims of transphobia, but this majority of people this country, majority of people like don't care how like jk rowling don't care how you identify, as long as you don't come and try and take away their rights. and sadly, india and activists are and radical trans activists are desperately trying to take away women's in order to feed women's rights in order to feed their misogynism. >> look, absolutely >> look, amy, i absolutely would never do this seriously, by the way, so please don't take too much to this, but if i much offence to this, but if i called you a man, right? is that a yes right. okay. a hate crime? yes right. okay. good point to leave it, i think. thank you very much. the social commentator amy ansell and the influencer ollie london. right. so who do agree with? was so who do you agree with? was india right to report india willoughby right to report jk rowling to the police over being called a man. jk rowling to the police over being called a man . jean on x being called a man. jean on x says appalling. what jk rowling said about india willoughby. rowling needs understand that rowling needs to understand that they are virtually the same people. interesting. michael says police have more says the police have more
3:29 am
important stuff to deal with. the name calling. well, your verdict 3% of you verdict is now in. 3% of you agree india willoughby was agree that india willoughby was right to report jk rowling to the police. yes, you heard that correctly. 3, 97% of you say that it was the wrong thing to do. coming up, the tax burden on the elderly is now the highest it's ever been. this really winds me up okay. the tories, i think, are in danger of losing arguably their most loyal demographic, the silver vote. why don't they care about old people? former government minister and political firebrand ann widdecombe offers her analysis. but next, on gb news earlier, jeremy hunt was asked why do we need a war memorial for muslim soldiers when they already have one for all faiths and not very good proposal was made to me by sajid javid. >> yes, he was a colleague and a friend and i decided i'd have merit. >> well, nigel isn't really having any of it. he will hit back. having any of it. he will hit back . that is next. having any of it. he will hit back. that is next. and we'll also discuss the un's demands for britain to bring back the isis bride , shamima begum. i'll
3:33 am
tick. it's patrick christys tonight. we're only on gb news now. coming up. why have the tories abandoned pensioners? but first, we've already got memorials for our indian, pakistani and bangladeshi world war ii heroes. but yesterday, the chancellor sparked controversy when he announced another one for muslim soldiers. speaking to gb news
3:34 am
earlier today, jeremy hunt defended his decision . defended his decision. >> i think it is important to recognise the contribution of 170,000 muslims who died defending our freedoms. we have already, as a government supported a memorial to sikh soldiers who died. i think it shows what unites us. >> that was echoed by the chairman of the national muslim war memorial trust, mohammed amin, who also spoke to gb news earlier today. >> this memorial will serve to remind british muslims how their ancestors fought for the crown and the state that they have in this country , which was fought, this country, which was fought, in one sense purchased by their ancestors blood. and it will also inform non—muslim britons just what a contribution muslims have made to the history of our country, and defending it in its time of need. >> okay, i'm joined now by gb news star nigel farage. nigel. well, the chancellor thinks it's a good idea. is it?
3:35 am
>> no identity politics has absolutely no place in the commemoration of our war dead. and this was all debated by men of greater vision , bigger brains of greater vision, bigger brains and more thought than jeremy hunt. and sajid javid. frankly, back in 1918, there was a huge national debate about this because initially we buried dead soldiers on the western front underneath christian crosses . underneath christian crosses. then the debate came do we have different crosses for officers? do we have different memorials for those of the sikh faith? or. and it was decided that actually what we should do is have equality in death. and that is where the portland stone headstone came from. and it doesn't matter whether you're a general, a private soldier, a jew , a muslim, a christian, jew, a muslim, a christian, victoria cross winner, you all get exactly the same headstone, albeit different inscription, different engraving. and in every cemetery you go to in
3:36 am
france from both wars, at the front there is a christian cross because the majority of people there were christian. at the back there is what's called the stone of remembrance and carved into it is for those of all faiths and none . we thought faiths and none. we thought about this over 100 years ago. we got it absolutely right. and now , because of what's happening now, because of what's happening in britain today , jeremy hunt in britain today, jeremy hunt decides we'll throw that out and think of a cenotaph. patrick, the cenotaph is not there as a purely christian memorial. it's there for those of all faiths and none. the homework was done on this . it was done properly. on this. it was done properly. it was done well. we don't need a conservative chancellor messing with it. >> well, £1 million is the cost of this. have the tories just spent £1 million on something that will give them absolutely no more votes, no more votes at all. >> it is actually of itself divisive . the whole point about divisive. the whole point about those two world wars and what's
3:37 am
come since this is contributions were made by people from all over the world, from the empire as it was then. the commonwealth as it was then. the commonwealth as we now know it. and we recognise, i mean, think how progressive we were. we were very, very progressive in 1918. we set the standard. everybody should be treated absolutely equally. and that applies not just, frankly, to war memorials, but to everything in life. let's start treating everybody equally. >> yeah. well, the positioning of it in the budget as well. you know, this is a massive opportunity. the conservatives need need to do something big in a budget if they have any chance whatsoever at the next general election. and jeremy hunt opens up. he's opening act was one minute camera zooms in on sajid javid. by the way. there you go. well, i'm sarge. fantastic, by the way, the bloke who, if he turned the boat back, we turned the first boat back, we wouldn't in this flippy mess. wouldn't be in this flippy mess. but then we but he didn't anyway. then we 90, but he didn't anyway. then we go, right, there we go. is go, all right, there we go. is
3:38 am
£1 million. here's £1 million for that. if they for a statue for that. if they got straight got the priorities straight here. on? here. what's going on? >> tell you, i was >> well, let me tell you, i was up last night in whitehaven in cumbria. dewberry and cumbria. michelle dewberry and i were doing a live show, a were there doing a live show, a good sized audience of very local people, so local that every time we mention the name whitehaven, they all cheered, you know , and good for them, you know, and good for them, because they feel very ignored up there, that constituency had been labour since 1931, since the ramsay mac election of that yeah the ramsay mac election of that year. and it was, you know, one of the biggest red wall wins really was that seat i detected in the room . real anger over in the room. real anger over this particular issue, but more deeply, it was difficult to find anyone in the room who intended to vote conservative. and they've lost it. they've lost it. they've got no sense of priorities, no, no courage, no principles. and ultimately, you
3:39 am
know what i came away with last night? a sense of being let down, but also a sense on economics and the budget that labour would have done almost nothing different . nothing different. >> yeah. and that's the point, isn't it? and why not? well, because it's the obr. it's deep state anyway, state stuff. but anyway, a spokesperson world war spokesperson for the world war muslim memorial trust said the memorial will provide a positive focus, emphasising shared sacrifices, history sacrifices, a common history and values and a programme of education for everyone in the uk. but muslims and non—muslims. the will physical the memorial will be a physical reminder of how people of all faiths have in the past, made an impact working together, and can continue despite the continue to do so despite the challenges that divide us in our society. now, nigel, second story. okay, so the united nafions story. okay, so the united nations experts are about to look into some of these experts. by look into some of these experts. by the way, one of them is a jordanian civil servant. but anyway, we'll leave that there. experts demanding britain experts are demanding britain repatriate experts are demanding britain repatriatclaiming she was the begum, claiming she was the victim of sexual exploitation. that's despite the court of appeal rejecting begum's attempt to get her british citizenship
3:40 am
back just weeks ago. and speaking exclusively to me on this program last night, former home secretary priti patel slammed the un. >> u.n. are wrong on this. basically and the un should should not be getting involved in what is a very domestic case of the united kingdom. you know, every home secretary, my predecessors, you know, and those, i guess, that have followed me since have been very clear on this. that case is closed as far as we're concerned. and the evidence against her is so substantial. >> well, nigel, your message to the un, i am now thinking the same way about the un. >> i didn't need the world health organisation as i was about the eu. they are massively overstate their remit. the idea about the un was to get us together as countries to cooperate and have a forum for them to try and dictate to us what we should do with mama begum or frankly, anybody else is way beyond anything any is way, way beyond anything any of us have ever signed up to.
3:41 am
and ultimately, this comes back to the old question of sovereignty . are we sovereignty. are we a self—governing nation that makes our own laws , makes our own our own laws, makes our own decisions, or do we accept diktats from the un, the who, or anybody else? i really, really think that if a british government walked in on second avenue to the un. and said, guys, this has all gone wrong, let's go back to basics. let's start again. i think we'd be surprised how many countries around the world would support us. us. >> us. >> you know. indeed. and also as well, people say we should respect the un, but i'm going to sound a bit like george galloway here when he's talking about rishi like he's moses, here when he's talking about rish he's like he's moses, here when he's talking about rish he's justike he's moses, here when he's talking about rish he's just come's moses, here when he's talking about rish he's just come down .es, here when he's talking about rish he's just come down with like he's just come down with these, these tablets. but there was of that. mean, two was a point of that. i mean, two out three special out of the three special rapporteurs united rapporteurs of the united nafions rapporteurs of the united nations who've written this report once just it was a gambian lawyer. right. and the other is jordanian civil other one is a jordanian civil servant. sorry . right. servant. so. oh, sorry. right. no, changes everything no, that changes everything then. why are these then. absolutely. why are these people dictating to us? >> that's globalism , you
3:42 am
>> well, that's globalism, you know, the post—war settlement was done because of the horrors of what happened in war of what happened in world war two. we set up these two. you know, we set up these institutions really as sort of safety stop gaps to try and prevent anything like what emanated from nazi germany. but we're now 70 years on and through overreach and through doing their best to prove to the world that they have a purpose, they've now strayed into areas that were never intended. back in 1951. it's why the whole thing needs a complete total reset. and as far as begum is concerned, well, priti patel is right . you know, we've been right. you know, we've been through an extensive process in this country. case closed. go away. hum. >> yeah, absolutely. nigel thank you very, very much. as ever, the fantastic nigel farage there. he's on fire this evening asindeed there. he's on fire this evening as indeed he is every single evening . right. okay. it's evening. right. okay. now it's time latest great time for the latest great british giveaway. your chance to win £12,345 in cash and a whole host of seasonal treats . here's

listening on demand. good luck. >> well, coming up i will play you the shocking scenes of a pro—palestine mob besieging a bradford kebab shop. the owners crime selling coca cola. so with attacks mounting, should we really believe that extremism is still a fringe issue ? it's not. still a fringe issue? it's not. i'll tackle that at ten with some more shocking video as well. but next, as pensioners are pummelled by the budget to the tune of £400, have the tories committed an act of mass political suicide? former government minister ann widdecombe sounds the alarm and whitty has some words as well of big brother wisdom for kate middleton's uncle and, i believe india. >> and if you can take offence, you'll always take offence and you'll always take offence and you'll always take offence and you'll always read something you'll always take offence and you'what ays read something you'll always take offence and you'what iss read something you'll always take offence and you'what is being something you'll always take offence and you'what is being saidathing you'll always take offence and you'what is being said .:hing into what is being said. >> yeah, i disagree with that. >> yeah, i disagree with that. >> why don't you go back to reading the news instead ? reading the news instead? >> all right, ann, we'll be >> hey. all right, ann, we'll be here
3:48 am
it's patrick christys tonight. we're only on gb news now. coming up at ten. should we honestly believe that extremism is still just a fringe issue in britain? i've got some astonishing video footage for you. but first, it's time for the one and only ann widdecombe. now, look, pensioners have been left reeling after being entirely overlooked in jeremy hunfs entirely overlooked in jeremy hunt's spring budget. hunt's prudent spring budget. the landmark £0.02 cut to national does nothing national insurance does nothing to help anyone age 66 or older, meaning that they've been denied £900 of tax giveaways in the last six months. hunt also refused to cut or make changes to inheritance tax . as a result, to inheritance tax. as a result, britain's elderly are now facing a tax burden like never before. the average income tax bill for retirees rising by more than £400 a year since the tories came into power in 2010, pensioners with a private retirement income equal to the state pension have seen their average tax rate almost triple from 3% to 8. i don't think this
3:49 am
is fair . and why are the tories is fair. and why are the tories turning on older voters ? turning on older voters? >> well, heaven only knows because i mean, the simple fact is that some 60% of pensioners vote tory. so the tories are actually turning on one of the most important sources of support for them. i mean, it appears that they've just got a lemming instinct. quite honestly , and, it not only that, i mean, quite obviously goodness only knows why they're doing it. it's totally chaotic , given their own totally chaotic, given their own self—interest, but it's also pretty cruel, because pensioners and particularly older pensioners, can't really influence their situation. you know, they can't go out and work and say, well, i'll do an extra job or something, or i'll take a weekend job, and they do rely on what they've saved and, and what they've themselves . they've provided for themselves. and the government has capped it they've provided for themselves. and taxed )vernment has capped it they've provided for themselves. and taxed itarnment has capped it they've provided for themselves. and taxed it andient has capped it they've provided for themselves. and taxed it and taxedis capped it they've provided for themselves. and taxed it and taxed it capped it they've provided for themselves. and taxed it and taxed it .apped it and taxed it and taxed it. >> yeah. it was political suicide though, isn't it? and
3:50 am
also , i would as well, also, i would argue as well, morally unconscionable people also, i would argue as well, morallypaid)nscionable people also, i would argue as well, morallypaid taxionable people also, i would argue as well, morallypaid tax allable people also, i would argue as well, morallypaid tax all theirieople also, i would argue as well, morallypaid tax all their livese who've paid tax all their lives and if they've got any savings saved up all their lives, are now being taxed on that to fund millions of young people who can't bothered to work, and can't be bothered to work, and millions of people who we've let into the country who don't work . into the country who don't work. >> well, yes, that sums it up. and that why i don't accept and that is why i don't accept fine pensioners voting tory at the election . i think they the next election. i think they ought to look at reform's policies. they be quite reassured. >> what are those policies out of interest? >> the very least, >> well, at the very least, we're to, reduce tax. now, we're going to, reduce tax. now, pensioners pay tax on their private pensions. they pay tax if they have a very little above the state pension, and, because of the thresholds which have been frozen now, you know, year after year, they're paying more and more tax , so we will and more tax, so we will certainly be doing that and we will be looking at pensioners because pensioners have served this country extremely well, and there's a tendency to regard
3:51 am
them as a bit of a nuisance. you know, they impose on the health service and they impose on the social care system. well, actually, we ought to be extremely for extremely grateful for pensioners . pensioners. >> yeah, we should be. and there's a few stories going around at the moment that highlight to me how we treat our greatest generation. and all of it makes me feel deeply uncomfortable, look, we're going to from that. now, talk to move on from that. now, talk about this. archbishop of about this. the archbishop of wokery, him justin wokery, some call him justin welby . he's accused mps of hate welby. he's accused mps of hate speech. he said that in welby. he's accused mps of hate spe�*last he said that in welby. he's accused mps of hate spe�*last few he said that in welby. he's accused mps of hate spe�*last few weeks,aid that in welby. he's accused mps of hate spe�*last few weeks, it'sthat in welby. he's accused mps of hate spe�*last few weeks, it's all in welby. he's accused mps of hate spe�*last few weeks, it's all got the last few weeks, it's all got too much. hasn't named any too much. he hasn't named any names. also revealed he now names. he's also revealed he now carries a panic alarm. he suggests to his suggests his links to his opposition for the rwanda plan. is the victim card is he playing the victim card here and do you think? obviously we really hope he doesn't come here and do you think? obviously weanylly hope he doesn't come here and do you think? obviously weany harm.»e he doesn't come here and do you think? obviously weany harm. i'mz doesn't come here and do you think? obviously weany harm. i'm notesn't come here and do you think? obviously weany harm. i'm not saying)me to any harm. i'm not saying that, think that, but do you think he is playing victim here? playing the victim card here? and maybe us and actually, maybe he's put us at risk bit? at risk a bit? >> well, i mean, i don't see why he shouldn't carry a panic alarm if got any reason to if he's got any reason to fear a threat. but what i do take exception is the accusation exception to is the accusation that have in, in that mps have indulged in, in
3:52 am
hate . i mean, mps say how hate speech. i mean, mps say how they see the situation is, and if they believe that rwanda is the solution to the immigration crisis, i don't, because it's not happening at the moment, or if they believe, that , the if they believe, that, the palestine marches are out of hand, they are entitled to say so. and i think the archbishop should be very careful about using phrases like hate speech. this is the leader of the established christian church in this country. and if he doesn't know what hate is, he doesn't know what hate is, he doesn't know the biblical definition of hate . and having held the rest hate. and having held the rest of us, now show an eye sign for something completely different around this hour off. >> okay, your star turn on celebrity big brother. are you finished? runner up in the 2018 series after learning a thing or two about hair straighteners? i believe so this year, kate middleton's wayward uncle gary goldsmith is the one causing quite a stir and now he's called
3:53 am
for runaway royals harry and meghan to lose their titles. >> i'm really judging her to see two beloved sons warring that way is heartbreaking. >> i genuinely think that they should take the titles away, take take the titles. gene. yeah. >> oh , should diane well, there >> oh, should diane well, there may be a moral case for it, but if i were advising his majesty, i would say, don't do that. >> you know, don't escalate the situation. they're the ones causing the trouble. let it stay the way they're the ones indulging in the archbishop indulging in what the archbishop would hate. speech, you know, let it stay that way . don't up let it stay that way. don't up the ante from buckingham palace. i just think common sense says just don't go down that particular route, and can i just say as well , when particular route, and can i just say as well, when i was tossing up during the production meeting today, the amount of different star turns that you've had on a variety of different reality tv shows, we are we are in the

4:01 am
taxation. it sort of makes my point for me, their plan is basically that tax should remain at its current levels . we say we at its current levels. we say we don't have to accept the status quo. if you make difficult decisions, if you stick to our plan for the economy, that's seen inflation falling and growth starting to rise, we can bnng growth starting to rise, we can bring down the tax burden . bring down the tax burden. >> well, as i mentioned in the last hour, the uk has now pledged a further £125 million of military support to ukraine in another major move against putin's invasion. earlier our homeland security editor, mark white gave us more information on what that announcement tonight will mean for the war in ukraine. >> this extra package announced by grant shapps on a visit to ukraine is very significant . ukraine is very significant. hundreds of pounds and millions of pounds in extra commitment from the uk to provide 10,000 military drones. now the vast majority will be first person view drones , fpv drones, which view drones, fpv drones, which can loiter over the battle space

disarray. it follows warnings from mps that the post office is, they say , not fit to run any is, they say, not fit to run any compensation schemes for victims of the horizon it scandal, describing efforts so far as an abject failure . israel will be abject failure. israel will be allowed to compete at this year's eurovision song contest only after agreeing to change the lyrics to its song. the original song, the lyrics to its song. the original song , titled october original song, titled october rain, had faced controversy for allegedly referencing the hamas attacks. eden golan , the israeli attacks. eden golan, the israeli entry will now perform hurricane at the song contest in sweden this may. after amending the song to meet eurovision's political neutrality rules . and political neutrality rules. and finally, donald trump has blamed president biden for what he called a horror show of illegal migration. ahead of tonight's state of the union address . state of the union address. >> we cannot take it any longer. as a country . joe biden sad as a country. joe biden sad excuse for a state of the union address aside, here are the facts in that video on his truth

4:05 am
course you are. you are a leaflet that doesn't even mention. so look at how many of us there are. look, look how many of us take a step back. like i'm just saying, you keep making some very, very interesting comments. >> you keep talking about intimidation, you keep talking about you were talking about . about you were talking about. >> i won't be speaking to one of the students who was attacked by that mob next. but it's not just radical students . it's look radical students. it's look who's teaching there. professor ilan pappe has previously said that he admires the courage of hamas fighters, who he believes had to act and quickly. so this quy's had to act and quickly. so this guy's there like he's teaching there . oh, and he doesn't there. oh, and he doesn't believe that they're a terrorist organisation . the university has organisation. the university has since defended his right to the freedom of expression, and i bet my bottom dollar that this is a mainstream view amongst university so—called academics. are these the views of a fringe radical, or are they held by
4:06 am
millions of people living in britain ? britain? >> i can be in a land where i lived with live with these people, but i have hate for them. i don't like them , i say. them. i don't like them, i say. thatis them. i don't like them, i say. that is at a time that we're living in today is very, very hard to claim that imposing onto you , saying that you have to you, saying that you have to accept the british values and muslims are being put in situations where they're asked, are muslim first or are are you a muslim first or are you first? you a british first? >> he's an easy >> yeah, but he's an easy question answer. i'm a muslim question to answer. i'm a muslim first. what's issue? first. like, what's the issue? >> that's not being first. like, what's the issue? >> �*the�*s not being first. like, what's the issue? >> “the countryiot being first. like, what's the issue? >> “the country thatzing first. like, what's the issue? >> “the country that you loyal to the country that you claim from. see, claim to be from. you see, that's what muslims are now by saying that statement, you're, you're foreigner you're you're you're a foreigner from now , muslim first, then from us now, muslim first, then british hating the people they have to live amongst in britain. >> i suspect these views are not that uncommon . extreme behaviour that uncommon. extreme behaviour is the new normal. just look at what ordinary brits had to put up with while doing their shopping in tesco's. >> tesco's genocide rikki neave john dunne pwc.
4:07 am
>> you have a choice. make a choice . try to pretend this choice. try to pretend this life. please >> that was a protest over jewish avocados . what else? jewish avocados. what else? totally unhinged behaviour isn't it? tesco does not have blood on its hands . it? tesco does not have blood on its hands. nobody in this country harbours any blame for the horrific events in gaza. we have to put a stop to this . but have to put a stop to this. but it's not just universities and supermarkets under attack from the mob. no, a kebab shop in bradford was the scene of a pro—palestine fuelled riot . can pro—palestine fuelled riot. can you guess what the owner, salahuddin yousef's crime was? no, it's not avocados this time. something much worse. he dared to sell coca—cola , the same to sell coca—cola, the same coca—cola company that until recently had two plants employing hundreds of gazans in gaza. employing hundreds of gazans in gaza . mr yousef, who sustained gaza. mr yousef, who sustained a bruised lip in the melee , even
4:08 am
bruised lip in the melee, even had a free palestine poster in his window. look at the state of this. this is just a kebab shop in bradford. they're just beating it. why for what? look at him. he's getting battered in the face. they're seriously. nothing will be good enough for this lot. pro—palestine sticker in the flipping window. and they're battering him because he's coca—cola. it's he's selling coca—cola. it's nuts. today emerged that nuts. and today it emerged that the bloke in charge of diversity at the department for work and pensions went out campaigning for george galloway in rochdale standard for humanity, stand for palestine, stand for george the way . that's a civil servant way. that's a civil servant there, in charge of diversity at there, in charge of diversity at the department for work and pensions, campaigning for a party whose deputy leader was ousted from the labour party following anti—semitic remarks. radical extremist views are not on the fringes anymore . the mob on the fringes anymore. the mob are now disrupting our lives, intimidating parliament, being
4:09 am
openly racist and destroying livelihoods. these people will not stop until they've got what they want, which is the complete destruction of our way of life and the total submission to theirs . that is extremism. let's theirs. that is extremism. let's start calling it what it is. and in the past, our counter extremism tsar, robin simcox has warned in the telegraph of a permissive environment for radicalisation developing in the uk . mr simcox warns that uk. mr simcox warns that pro—palestinian protests are turning london into a no go zone for jews, warning that extremist groups have gone unchallenged for too long. look this is the government's current definition of extremism. vocal or active opposition to fundamental british values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs. so may i just remind you of this ? may i just remind you of this? >> i can be in a land where i lived with live with these people, but i have hate for
4:10 am
them. i don't like them. lovely >> i'm joined now by robin sinner can.t, who was one of the jewish students who was attacked while raising awareness for anti—semitism at exeter university yesterday . thank you university yesterday. thank you very much for joining university yesterday. thank you very much forjoining me. i hope you're okay. first and foremost. and could just explain and could you just explain exactly happened you ? exactly what happened to you? because sure that clips because i'm not sure that clips there it justice. there actually do it justice. >> yeah. hello. thank you. firstly, for inviting me on tonight, what happened yesterday was something that was, coming for a long time, which we had made clear with the university, but unfortunately, we weren't protected once again. and we were failed, yesterday we were stalling. we had a camera on campus stall to combat misinformation on campus. the first time since october 7th that we were making a public appearance at. and we wanted to promote respectful discussion, especially with israeli apartheid week, happening this month . and we were met with month. and we were met with hostility, anti—semitism , we had hostility, anti—semitism, we had abuse, both verbally and
4:11 am
physically, with juice thrown at us over our israeli flag, which ended up hitting myself and my friends as well. and it was just lots of violence with a big crowd. >> so you so you were sitting there with the israeli flag trying to raise awareness for anti—semitism, and a crowd gathers around you. they're all shouting, swearing, dousing you and the flag in juice. and what kind of things were they saying ? kind of things were they saying? what kind of i mean, we are post—watershed. but you know , i post—watershed. but you know, i was just keep it, keep it relatively clear. what kind of stuff were they saying? >> general comments were made >> so general comments were made about how we weren't welcome to be on campus, how we must be removed and cancelled, to which , removed and cancelled, to which, you know, i think shows a bigger issue here that they can't accept our, freedom of speech and freedom of speech . and, you and freedom of speech. and, you know, safe spaces are clearly only afforded to one group. now only afforded to one group. now on universities, because ultimately, jewish are ultimately, jewish students are now . we're too scared.
4:12 am
now silenced. we're too scared. and i've had to take a for stand, with on behalf of my friends and my community, because many are too scared to speak. lots have gone home and it's really affecting our studies and the work that we're doing. our students . doing. our students. >> and is this an isolated incident or are you seeing more of this? you see, you just say there that that jewish students have some of them have gone home. they've had to go home because of the fear . because of the fear. >> yes. so most of my society who was involved in this yesterday has gone home. i myself am considering that, and this is not an isolated incident, and i just want to make that very, very clear that exeter university has a history of not protecting their jewish students, despite us telling them we don't feel them that we don't feel protected, we feel unsafe, we don't welcome on campus. don't feel welcome on campus. there has been professors since october seven deny actually last week denying the rape and sexual violence that was inflicted on israeli women . on october the
4:13 am
israeli women. on october the 7th, straight after october seven. in november, there was a professor who gave a lecture about how hamas wasn't a resistance movement. and how they were how they were a resistance movement and not a terrorist organisation. sorry, and i think there's a clear correlation here between what's being taught to these students, at exeter and then the anti—semitism , that we're faced anti—semitism, that we're faced with, and ultimately , i think with, and ultimately, i think everybody needs to be asking the question to , what the university question to, what the university of exeter is teaching their students on zionism . is it students on zionism. is it balanced? and are these students being educated to hate? because that's exactly what we're feeling at the moment. >> it is no anti—semitism and radicalisation . extremism is radicalisation. extremism is categorically no longer a fringe issue . it is, unfortunately, a issue. it is, unfortunately, a mainstream thing that is coursing through younger people's lives, is coursing through academia. it's clearly coursing through aspects of our civil service in some regards as well. and i would argue, well, well, coursing through
4:14 am
well, it's coursing through a kebab bradford , which i kebab shop in bradford, which i think it happens, i think, think when it happens, i think, you absolutely you know, it's absolutely bonkers, thank bonkers, don't you? but thank you very, much. great to you very, very much. great to have the show. and i do have you on the show. and i do hope that take care all hope that you take care all right. the best. right. all the best. a spokesperson university right. all the best. a spokespe said university right. all the best. a spokespe said are university right. all the best. a spokespe said are meetingy of exeter said we are meeting with to ensure with those involved to ensure that receiving the that they are receiving the appropriate support and have launched an immediate investigation. the university is committed discrimination and instances of discrimination and harassment, anyone harassment, and encourage anyone who may experience any such behaviour to report it immediately. fascinating immediately. it'd be fascinating to do about the to see what they do about the lecturer, it? anyway, to see what they do about the lectu get it? anyway, to see what they do about the lectu get the it? anyway, to see what they do about the lectu get the thoughtsnay, to see what they do about the lectu get the thoughts of 1, to see what they do about the lectu get the thoughts of my let's get the thoughts of my panel now. former ukip panel now. i've got former ukip and chair and political and deputy chair and political commentator i've commentator suzanne evans. i've also bailey of also got lord bailey and of course ex—labour party adviser, matthew suzanne , is matthew laza suzanne, is extremism and radicalisation. now no longer a fringe issue? it should not be treated as such . should not be treated as such. >> i think what we've had, haven't we, has been several decades now of a kind of appeasement of this kind of issue, not just appeasement. it's been enabled , really, it's been enabled, really, because the police have not cracked down on it. they've not done anything about it. so i
4:15 am
keep saying that very first hate march after the october the 7th attacks in london, it was obvious what was happening there. i still can't get my head around the fact that you had more jewish people murdered than at the holocaust, at any time since the holocaust, and a few days later, there and just a few days later, there were supporting the aggressor. >> firework police did nothing about it. >> w- about it. >> get away with >> so if you get away with something like that, then of course you've got a license in a sense to ratchet things up and it becomes more and more extreme and the appalling scenes that we've around that shop we've just seen around that shop in bradford, i mean, for goodness sake, these people have lost minds over a can of coke. >> yeah, over, over a can of coke , sean, i think it's a long coke, sean, i think it's a long list, but one of the most disturbing things that i saw there, was those two younger lads talking about how. all right, they're muslim first, not british. well, i suppose maybe not religious thing, but not so religious thing, but they're saying that, you know, they're saying that, you know, they live britain and they can live in britain and hate the people around them. i don't think that's uncommon. >> that view, unfortunately, the problem we've had is we have this liberal view of the world.
4:16 am
you your liberal you have your nice liberal westerner , southerner, you know, westerner, southerner, you know, living the southern living down here in the southern country. think, you know, country. you think, you know, a few us, a few few weeks around us, a few glasses of chardonnay, and of course, their , course, they'll abandon their, you and you know, heartfelt views and become us. that become liberals like us. that isn't what happens. and then on top you've had certain top of that, you've had certain publications legitimised these people, so they are people, so they now are legitimate means they can they can do as they want. they can have platforms to talk about how they to see the world they want to see the world change world, change. yeah. change our world, change. yeah. and away they and you and away they go. and then you see manifests itself in see it manifests itself in action. i remember many moons see it manifests itself in acti(when,i remember many moons see it manifests itself in acti(when, whenember many moons see it manifests itself in acti(when, when the, r many moons see it manifests itself in acti(when, when the, wheny moons see it manifests itself in acti(when, when the, when those ns ago when, when the, when those students cchq, students attacked cchq, many a labour politician lauded that. but that's how you get to where we are now. lawlessness and people are basically saying, if i don't agree with you, if you're not with me, you're against me, and it gives me the right to attack you. we've got to challenge that. >> it looks as matthew, >> it looks as though matthew, the diversity at the the head of diversity at the department for work and pensions, stump pensions, is on the stump for george mean that diversity >> well, i mean that diversity and i suspect and inclusion, i suspect we're not inclusive there. of the not very inclusive there. of the 60% in rochdale who 60% of people in rochdale who didn't for george galloway.
4:17 am
didn't vote for george galloway. >> yeah. >> e“ n e i mean, that is >> look, i mean, i mean, that is i mean, you there are i mean, you know, there are clear rules the civil service clear rules in the civil service about political involvement , and about political involvement, and not they should not enforced. well, they should certainly be enforced. and i would i would expect them to be enforced. >> i bet you in that case, way round, have got round, he'd have got a hammering. >> yeah. i mean, the, i mean, i'll you what i found. i'll tell you what i found. i mean, they're all disturbing, but bradford is mean, they're all disturbing, bu me, bradford is mean, they're all disturbing, bu me, you bradford is mean, they're all disturbing, bu me, you know, adford is mean, they're all disturbing, bume, you know, especially is to me, you know, especially disturbing it's the disturbing because it's the absolute definition of mob rule. yeah, if you agree yeah, it's if you don't agree with you. now, what does it matter it is? it's actually matter what it is? it's actually not about issue. it's about not about the issue. it's about the that if anybody in this the fact that if anybody in this country, their country, whatever their background, thinks, that you can persuade frankly persuade somebody who frankly does because he's persuade somebody who frankly doe a because he's persuade somebody who frankly doe a free because he's persuade somebody who frankly doea free palestine because he's persuade somebody who frankly doea free palestine sticker;e he's persuade somebody who frankly doe a free palestine sticker orhe's got a free palestine sticker or anything, but, you know, it is literally do wear literally and i do not wear a are police because, are the police because, you know, this is where the know, this is this is where the police are. >> the police are terrified of being tried in newspaper and being tried in the newspaper and what i said it what happens? and i said it before i say again , the before and i say it again, the left wing, left wing newspapers do better character do much better character assassination they'll just assassinate. >> what worries is >> well, what worries me is if we don't don't nip this in we don't if we don't nip this in the bud. anybody. what if there's in, know ,
4:18 am
there's somebody in, you know, in the community doesn't in the community who doesn't want a free palestine want to display a free palestine sticker? a proper sticker? we need a proper conversation muslim conversation with the muslim community have community because we cannot have behaviour like that which is muslim and is muslim or muslim there and is clearly completely wrong. >> it is. it's insane. you >> it is. it's insane. if you find yourself , by the way, ever find yourself, by the way, ever thinking whether not thinking about whether or not you're walk to down a you're going to walk to down a tesco's shout at a jewish tesco's and shout at a jewish avocado, look the mirror avocado, just look in the mirror . anyway, coming up, geri halliwell's christian halliwell's husband, christian horner speaks out for the first time his female accuser is time after his female accuser is apparently suspended by red bull. not great look. and bull. not a great look. and next, a new and exclusive polling on what the public really thinks about jeremy hunt rachel reeves. the rachel reeves. and when the general election should be held. expert pollster matt goodwin is also here with unrivalled analysis. it's the big exclusive andifs

4:24 am
next most popular answer was autumn this year, chosen by 16. 30% of people remain under sided. i do beg the question who can be undecided? so when you want a general election. but anyway, expert pollster and academic goodwin joins me academic matt goodwin joins me now. look, thank you very, academic matt goodwin joins me now. much. look, thank you very, academic matt goodwin joins me now. much. what thank you very, academic matt goodwin joins me now. much. what are1k you very, academic matt goodwin joins me now. much. what are the )u very, academic matt goodwin joins me now. much. what are the key ery, very much. what are the key findings of that series of polls there? >> good to with you. >> good to be with you. >> good to be with you. >> all right. the key >> all right. well the key findings, you say. findings, as you say. >> mean, we've got this >> i mean, we've got this enormous disillusionment out there country. there in the country. >> that there's mass >> it's not that there's mass enthusiasm the labour party, enthusiasm for the labour party, rachel starmer. rachel reeves and keir starmer. what lots of what we've got are lots of voters out saying, look, voters out there saying, look, i don't who's going to fix don't know who's going to fix this know who's this economy. i don't know who's going taxes. and i going to reduce taxes. and i think is hinting at think this is really hinting at something bigger. patrick, i think there's a there's quite a lot of disillusionment out there with consensus in with this new consensus in british politics high tax, big state, immigration, low state, mass immigration, low growth. and voters, i think, are looking westminster and looking at westminster and saying got the answer. saying nobody's got the answer. >> more people that rachel >> more people think that rachel reevesis >> more people think that rachel reeves is likely to cut tax than jeremy hunt. i mean, that is remarkable. what a state of affairs we are in at the moment,
4:25 am
surely? well, indeed. >> but it also shows just how hemmed in the two parties are. i mean, they don't have much room for we've got massive for manoeuvre. we've got massive amounts national debt. amounts of national debt. we're now we've very now in recession. we've got very low rates growth, i mean, low rates of growth, i mean, voters aren't stupid. >> i think they're looking at the and they're saying, the reality and they're saying, look, think look, actually, i don't think the who have the conservatives who have already don't forget already brought us don't forget to burden for to the highest tax burden for decades going to of decades are going to sort of bnng decades are going to sort of bring about sort of bring about some sort of miraculous recovery. >> you labour's >> and so, you know, labour's partly a of the partly picking up a bit of the advantage that notice on that advantage on that notice on that question economic growth, question about economic growth, though, labour's lead question about economic growth, th bigger labour's lead question about economic growth, th bigger on labour's lead question about economic growth, th bigger on that.abour's lead question about economic growth, th bigger on that question. sad is bigger on that question. >> this is what we see in >> and this is what we see in other polls, nationally, labour ahead conservatives on ahead of the conservatives on managing economy, dealing managing the economy, dealing with unemployment, dealing with inequality. >> and this again, is a reflection not of the fact that people love keir starmer because to be honest, they don't. it's a reflection of the way in which they are completely with they are completely fed up with they are completely fed up with the conservative the incumbent conservative government >> you asked them about voting intention and it was at intention there, and it was at 47% for labour, 47% big.
4:26 am
>> yeah. look, i mean, this is reflected in other polling. >> the labour party is enjoying leads. it's not really had since the 1990s. we've got the conservatives on 18% this week. yougov just had them on 20. we're seeing loads that we've never really, seen before. the old joke among pollsters, patrick, was that the conservative vote would never go below 30, because that's when you're getting to pensioners and people in homes who are pro people in care homes who are pro conservative, but don't really know much about what's going on out the country. out there in the country. and, what we're instead what we're seeing instead is actually conservative vote actually this conservative vote doesn't appear to have a floor to patrick sliding to it. patrick sliding downwards, i mean, so it does indicate does it, does it indicate does it, does it indicate that the tories have lost the pensioners ? well, i lost the pensioners? well, i mean, they've lost almost all of their core voters when you're when you're on 18, 20, you're pretty much losing, you know, the vast majority of people who voted the last voted for you at the last election, those working class voters red wall. patrick, voters in the red wall. patrick, on numbers, in on these numbers, every seat in the wall back to the the red wall goes back to the labour on these numbers. labour party on these numbers.

4:33 am
ordered the department of homeland security to hand over prince harry's immigration papers for him to review while he decides whether to make them public. in his tell all memoir, spare the duke of sussex made several admissions of drug use, which begs the question did he lie on his visa application to enter the united states? well, foreign policy analyst director of the heritage foundation and crucially, one of the men who was brought this court case is now gardener and he joins me now. niall, thank you very much. look what's happened today then what's this breaking news? >> patrick, many thanks for having me on the show today. and very significant developments here washington. here in washington. >> judge ordered the >> a federal judge ordered the us department of homeland security to hand over prince harry's immigration records to the judge for his review , under the judge for his review, under what is known as in—camera review . review. >> and, this is a big game changer here from our point of view, this is a very
4:34 am
encouraging, positive development that the judge has ordered the handover of those documents within two weeks. march 21st is the deadline , and march 21st is the deadline, and then the judge will review exactly what is inside prince harry's, immigration records. so the stakes are very high here, the, the biden administration fought tooth and nail against handing over these, these documents, so this is a very significant, development. and it's certainly our hope that ultimately, prince harry's immigration records will be released to the american people for their review. so nigel, the judge has demanded to see what harry wrote on his visa application. >> basically . yeah. >> basically. yeah. >> basically. yeah. >> correct. yeah, that's that's right. the judge will have full access to the complete, prince harry immigration if that says things along the lines of i've never taken drugs or used drugs or anything, and that is a lie, right? >> then what could happen next? >> then what could happen next? >> yeah. so under the
4:35 am
hypothetical situation whereby it is revealed that prince harry, lied, that is undoubtedly a criminal offence. there are very severe penalties for that in the united states. and i think it's very likely then, that the federal judge would release the record . as to the to release the record. as to the to the american people , and, i do the american people, and, i do think that , if you have a case think that, if you have a case of someone lying on an immigration application, that's a very serious offence and in some cases that results in deportation. so the stakes are incredibly high here. but that that, of course, a hypothetical situation. let's see what's in those records that american those records that the american people themselves . people see for themselves. >> and we'll, we'll know in about weeks time. now, thank about two weeks time. now, thank you. you keeping you. and thank you for keeping us and audience here right us and our audience here right up with the latest, that up to date with the latest, that is the breaking that is the breaking news that a judge now demanded to see judge has now demanded to see prince harry's visa application amidst . amidst this drug issue. allegedly. anyway, now, thank you very much. right. okay. well, from one potential scandal
4:36 am
to shocking new to another one, a shocking new twist a global scandal. twist to a global scandal. christian horner's sexthe accuser has been suspended. so this is the red bull employee who remains anonymous, accused the husband of geri halliwell of sending her a series of sexually suggestive text messages, the sun reports. the woman has high powered lawyers involved, and today she's been told to stay home while internal inquiries continue. at a press conference in saudi arabia earlier, horner was asked to comment on the matter. here it is. >> the reality is , is that there >> the reality is, is that there was a grievance that was raised. it was, dealt with in the most professional manner as far as i'm concerned, as far as red bull is concerned, we move on and we look to the future . and we look to the future. >> suzanne, is this a bad look? do you think it's bad luck? >> i don't really think red bull had any other choice , to be had any other choice, to be honest, patrick. i mean, what's happened here is there were these allegations made. there was inquiry.
4:37 am
was an internal inquiry. christian horner was exonerated, basically. but now what's happenedis basically. but now what's happened is hundreds of messages , sexually suggestive messages have been sent anonymously to red bull employees, to the press, to all kinds of people , press, to all kinds of people, all, completely opening the whole thing up again . i don't whole thing up again. i don't think red bull have got any choice. i'm afraid it's a sorry, sad story, but i if i was advising them, if i was their pr consultant, i think i'd have to suggest they do exactly what they've done. >> sure. >> sure. >> i think there's a there's a number of issues here. firstly is these new messages that have been released. are real? been released. are they real? we've we've seen them. we we've we've not seen them. we haven't verified. they haven't had them verified. they used lawyer conduct an used a lawyer to conduct an internal process, which they said was done very professionally. certainly took a long a very high long time. it's a very high powered he was powered lawyer. he was exonerated. interesting exonerated. it's interesting that has stuck that christian horner has stuck to his wife stuck to his guns and his wife stuck to his guns and his wife stuck to him as well. yeah, but he i wonder if he he seems very certain in his, in, in his innocence and he stuck to his guns. that's interesting. red
4:38 am
innocence and he stuck to his gunslookedi interesting. red innocence and he stuck to his gunslooked to teresting. red innocence and he stuck to his gunslooked to bezsting. red innocence and he stuck to his gunslooked to be leaninged innocence and he stuck to his gunslooked to be leaning his bull looked to be leaning his way to suspend a member way because to suspend a member of staff without evidence to do that would be very, very risky legally. so they must be confident in their position to suspend it, because if they haven't, they're in a world of pain. they'll be in a serious world of pain. so let's see. ultimately, will know how ultimately, we will not know how this is going to go until it's all out in the open. so more of it comes out in the open. we need to see these texts on full pay- >> yes. it's not as though she's losing out. she's not being >> yes. it's not as though she's losing oso she's not being >> yes. it's not as though she's losing oso sh(buli0l being >> yes. it's not as though she's losing oso sh(buli0l bebe named, so but but let's be clear, she's lodged clear, she's she's lodged a grievance and then she's been suspended. >> she will have a strong legal grounds for all manner of claims if they're not correct. >> they're not correct, and >> if they're not correct, and yeah, i mean, it would be a massive, massive controversy, wouldn't massive, massive controversy, wo this. t on this. >> yes. so look, i mean, i formula one always strikes me as having a of rather boys in having a sort of rather boys in their masculine, macho their toys, masculine, macho environment. but i think it's classic what classic techniques. what you don't don't don't do, which is you don't discourage people from coming forward if their claims forward by even if their claims are not proven to be founded. you don't you don't sort of, you
4:39 am
know, whistleblower. know, punish the whistleblower. so stuff. so it's not textbook stuff. >> good stuff, now, >> all right. good stuff, now, look, want to squeeze in look, i just want to squeeze in another story you. so it's another story for you. so it's a new in the soap opera new storyline in the soap opera hollyoaks, it's facing hollyoaks, and it's facing massive what you're massive backlash. so what you're about to see is being acted anyway . is a about to see is being acted anyway. is a 12 year old girl confiding in a trans adult about her own gender confusion . her own gender confusion. >> watch my boy, but my body's all wrong. and how am i supposed to tell my parents? >> i'll help you in whatever way i you can't move with i can. you can't move on with your you've told the your life until you've told the people love who you truly people you love who you truly are. that is, if you're sure . are. that is, if you're sure. >> i'm so sure. >> well, then why don't you take the first step? you can start actually being who you truly are . it's the best feeling in the world, matthew. >> weird or. okay, it's incredibly badly acted. it's my first. my first observation, look, i think on the edge, i
4:40 am
would say. i mean, i think it's, you know, it's perfectly appropriate to have a conversation, but clearly , you conversation, but clearly, you know, the i know i'm just about to be pounced on, i think. >> sure, sure. i'm sorry. >> i'm sorry . >> sure, sure. i'm sorry. >> i'm sorry. that's that's well beyond the pale. firstly, in the real world, why do hollyoaks feel the need to do this? why do we keep putting our situations in children, in situations and completely their parents completely taking their parents out of it? if a child was in that position, the first response would be to talk to their parents get their parents and get a professional. >> well, they might not feel they're talk. children >> well, they might not feel they'|always talk. children >> well, they might not feel they'|always talk. their ren parents. >> w- e that's the parents. >> that's the point. >> yeah, but that's the point. you responsible for you are legally responsible for your should be your child. they should be brought you and some brought to you and some professionals that. professionals to speak to that. that's the thing. but that's the first thing. but. but there's balance. that's it there's no balance. that's it starts by saying i'll give starts okay by saying i'll give you support need and you the support you need and then but obviously then saying that going that she's basically going to hold hand she hold her hand while she definitely one route. >> every safeguarding. >> every safeguarding. >> . >> yes. >> yes. >> yeah, it really does because here we are cutting the parents out completely, a young out completely, telling a young child truly think child to be who you truly think you who the heck knows who
4:41 am
you are, who the heck knows who they at that age? it's they truly are at that age? it's insane. >> p- p— e it's fine to have the >> i think it's fine to have the conversation. i think the dialogue takes us dialogue is clunky and takes us down wrong direction. down the wrong direction. >> rammed down >> propaganda being rammed down the young people. the throats of young people. it's going well. it's not going to end well. >> you can't disaster >> you can't have these disaster for young people. you cannot have conversations have these conversations without without parents. i'm sorry. and what we'll see the years to what we'll see in the years to come, there'll be litany of come, there'll be a litany of legal we have seen come, there'll be a litany of legaimportant we have seen come, there'll be a litany of legaimportant over'e have seen come, there'll be a litany of lega important over the ave seen come, there'll be a litany of lega important over the years en how important over the years soaps are a changing public attitudes were forced, who attitudes who were forced, who were down a route. yeah. were forced down a route. yeah. without proper made without proper support, made serious changes to their physical self, not mention physical self, not to mention their mental self. and they've woke up one morning were actually forced this way. actually i was forced this way. >> are right though matthew. >> you are right though matthew. in soaps there in times gone by soaps there were watched by more people there. i suppose you could say, but soaps had some but their soaps have had some quite for society. >> absolutely . i mean, you know, >> absolutely. i mean, you know, the hollyoaks predecessor program, brookside and the lesbian kiss was absolutely totemic. >> absolutely not creepy or not breaking safeguarding rules. >> no . i'm going to breaking safeguarding rules. >> no. i'm going to put breaking safeguarding rules. >> no . i'm going to put a pin in >> no. i'm going to put a pin in it. we're gonna we're gonna as good as this conversation is
