and that she should be shot. mr hester says he's deeply sorry for the remarks at prime minister's questions today , sir minister's questions today, sir keir starmer confronted rishi sunak the remarks, pressing keir starmer confronted rishi sunak returnie remarks, pressing keir starmer confronted rishi sunak return mremarks, pressing keir starmer confronted rishi sunak return mr hester's)ressing keir starmer confronted rishi sunak return mr hester's £10.ing him to return mr hester's £10 million donation. the prime minister acknowledged frank hester's comments were wrong and racist, but declined to say his donations would be returned, instead calling out what he said were double standards in the labour i'm absolutely not labour party. i'm absolutely not going to take any lectures from somebody , from somebody, from somebody, from somebody, from somebody, from somebody, from somebody who chose to represent an anti—semitic terrorist group, hizb ut—tahrir , who chose to hizb ut—tahrir, who chose to serve a leader who led anti—semitism run rife in this labour party . labour party. >> those are his actions. those are his values. and that's how he should be judged. >> the prime minister speaking there now, andy macdonald has had the labour whip restored after he was cleared of breaking party rules by using a controversial slogan at a pro—palestine rally. the mp for

middlesbrough was suspended in october after he used the phrase from the river to the sea during a speech at a pro palestine event. the words refer to the land between the river jordan land between the riverjordan and the mediterranean, which many find offensive because it appears to refer to all of israel. a labour spokesperson said mr macdonald had been reminded elected reminded that elected representatives must be mindful of how their words are interpreted , and migrants who've interpreted, and migrants who've been refused asylum to britain could be offered thousands of pounds to move to rwanda . the pounds to move to rwanda. the voluntary scheme would be separate to the safety of rwanda bill, which is facing delays due to a series of amendments. it would extend returns would extend current returns policies, some policies, which sees some migrants offered £3,000 to return to their country of origin , and tiktok could be origin, and tiktok could be bannedin origin, and tiktok could be banned in the us unless the app's chinese owners sell its american operation . the house of american operation. the house of representatives voted to pass a bill that would require the social media company to be sold or blocked with an overwhelming majority. the bill still needs to pass the senate to become law

here in the uk. tiktok hasn't been banned before, but it was blocked from the government devices in 2023 over data privacy concerns . and for the privacy concerns. and for the latest stories, sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. com slash alerts. now it's back to . patrick. back to. patrick. >> it appears the archbishop of canterbury is doing more to promote islam than christianity . promote islam than christianity. justin welby stands accused of naively standing by while a fake asylum seeker conveyor belt of muslim men uses the church of england as a back door into britain, claims he strongly denies. then today we got this as the government desperately tries to clamp down on extremism in britain , which is in britain, which is overwhelmingly islamist. welby signs a joint letter with the archbishop of york saying the new definition being proposed not only inadvertently threatens freedom of speech, but also the

right to worship and peaceful protest things that have been hard won and form the fabric of a civilised society. crucially, it risks disproportionately targeting muslim communities who are already experiencing rising levels of hate and abuse. now, hate and abuse obviously is bad. all right , hate and abuse obviously is bad. all right, but could a new definition of extremism that disproportionately targets muslim communities possibly be because there is a disproportionate amount of extremism in certain hard line muslim communities? look, it's tough for welby, his definition of extremism and islamist terror is obviously very, very loose in nigeria , the jihadis have nigeria, the jihadis have slaughtered reportedly 62,000 christians since the year 2000. 8000 were murdered in 2023 alone by groups like boko haram , by groups like boko haram, islamic state of west africa province and fulani militias. these are card carrying jihadi nutters . how did welby described nutters. how did welby described them? oh, i, like many others

around the world, i'm shocked and saddened by events in nigeria over the past few days. i join calls for the immediate release of the hundreds of school children, some as young as seven, kidnapped by gangs. yeah. gangs of what? archbishop? why can't you say it? the jewish chronicle reported that mr welby ianed chronicle reported that mr welby invited some alleged hardline islamists over for tea and cake . islamists over for tea and cake. mohammad ali shomali, who met justin welby, spent five years as the uk representative of the iranian supreme leader in his role as the head of the islamic centre of england, the london mosque that was placed under investigation the charity investigation by the charity commission accused of promoting extremism, deny. extremism, claims they deny. also on the guest list was mohammed kozbar, a leader of the muslim council of britain, who praised the founder of the hamas terror group as a holy warrior. i will be posted a gushing message after the event , saying message after the event, saying it was a pleasure to welcome friends, adding that he'd enjoyed the honest sharing of different perspectives .

different perspectives. interesting choice of friends for an archbishop of the christian faith, isn't it? in light of the latest allegations of fake asylum seeker baptisms for young muslim men, gb news has obtained leaked footage of the archbishop actually conducting one of these asylum seeker ceremonies himself. >> greetings to muslims. at the start of the month of ramadan . i start of the month of ramadan. i wish you peace and joy as you begin this extraordinary and special time of prayer , fasting special time of prayer, fasting and spiritual reflection. thank you for the huge contribution that muslims across our nation make to our society . make to our society. >> yeah. all right. okay, that was a joke. that's obviously not really well be doing a baptism, is it? it's him wishing everybody a happy ramadan. this is all from last few days. is all from the last few days. so the question stands, i think, is the archbishop of canterbury doing more to promote islam than christianity ? let's get the christianity? let's get the thoughts of my panel editor at large at the mail on sunday. charlotte griffiths. we've got

businessman and activist adam brooks and of course, the incredibly successful author rebecca reid. adam, i'll start with you. do you think that welby is doing more to promote islam? certainly in the last few days anyway, arguably, than the christian faith, yeah. it's just a little bit as you said, disproportionate to say what was happening in nigeria. and look, we've got people calling for jihad on the streets of london. we've got jewish schools with bomb threats, multiple schools . bomb threats, multiple schools. we've had jewish businesses attacked where is his time for that? where are his words to the jewish community? i just find it very odd for me. he he really is a remainer lefty activist. you know, he tried to scupper brexit. he wants to wade in on the immigration. he's interfering in the politics of this country, but that is part of his job. >> so i think sometimes there's a misconception that the church of england and that the church of england and that the church

of are supposed to be of rome are supposed to be politically or the politically neutral or like the royal family, that's not the royal family, and that's not the case. always been their case. it's always been their job to on politics. it's to weigh in on politics. it's always been their job to weigh in relevant. in on anything that's relevant. so on sunday and so i was at church on sunday and we prayed for of things, we prayed for lots of things, including in middle including peace in the middle east, including victims of east, including the victims of the bombings and the october 7th bombings and a terror attacks. and also we prayed for people embarking on ramadan . that's normal. i've ramadan. that's normal. i've done that my whole life. >> i don't think we've ever had, an that has been so an archbishop that has been so involved like we and involved like this. we have and so outspoken my lifetime in so outspoken in my lifetime in rowan like this. rowan was just like this. >> they all were. are you do you mind ask? have you been mind if i ask? have you been engaged the faith throughout? >> i'm an atheist, so >> you know, i'm an atheist, so i'm religious sort, i'm not religious of any sort, but just find that , welby but i just find that, welby seems to go against the majority feeling the nearly feeling of the country nearly every time immigration, brexit. >> it's a bit odd. i just don't understand why he released the statement have seen. i've statement. have you seen. i've got of the statement got a picture of the statement here it's so lofty. it's here and it's so lofty. it's just this a statement from the archbishop of canterbury. and it's just nothing really to do with of with him. it's sort of uninvited, i and the uninvited, i think. and the other saying is,

other thing he keeps saying is, you know, it could erode a civilised but society civilised society, but society isn't civilised. at least a isn't civilised. at least once a week on saturday. you know, we week on a saturday. you know, we have a civilisation problem week on a saturday. you know, we hathis a civilisation problem week on a saturday. you know, we hathis country. isation problem week on a saturday. you know, we hathis country. people problem week on a saturday. you know, we hathis country. people areilem in this country. people are falling out with each other and rioting protesting. rioting and protesting. so i think working a think he's kind of working in a different a of different context, a context of a few months ago that doesn't exist anymore. >> rebecca, take your >> yeah. rebecca, i'll take your point you churches, point about, you know, churches, for better phrase, for want of a better phrase, a broad however when do broad church. however when do you there doing okay? you see him there doing okay? happy ramadan. fine. then you see that he's apparently reportedly had some, you know, alleged islamist round for tea and cake . and then he's going on and cake. and then he's going on about, well, this extremism definition which by the way, about, well, this extremism defini'also nthh by the way, about, well, this extremism defini'also could by the way, about, well, this extremism defini'also could alsoe way, about, well, this extremism defini'also could also affect could also could also affect conservative christians in a way people who are, you know, pro—life or anti—abortion would be another way of putting it. people who are, you know, don't believe in gay marriage. i mean, those equally be those are equally could be affected and then affected by this. okay and then you top of that. him you are on top of that. see him not describing boko not describing groups like boko haram as islamist. you just wonder, is he is he on wonder, you know, is he is he on a of almost muslim crusade here? >> no, i don't think so. i think

that the idea of the church is that the idea of the church is that it's supposed to be opening, open, armed, welcoming that it's supposed to be opernon—judgmental,. welcoming that it's supposed to be opernon—judgmental,. welinming and non—judgmental, and in the same that this is not same way that this is not a version of the church of england that around if that goes around saying, if you're gay, get out. if you've had abortion, out. this you're gay, get out. if you've héa abortion, out. this you're gay, get out. if you've héa abo that. out. this you're gay, get out. if you've héa abo that increasinglyis is a church that increasingly marries divorcees, that we are currently of the currently in a period of the church is more, more which church which is more, more which is softer, more minded, is softer, more open minded, more open armed. and i think that having tea with somebody who potentially a vile, who is potentially a vile, ghastly might possibly ghastly person might possibly do more change their mind than more to change their mind than shutting them out. bringing shutting them out. but bringing someone is a better way to someone in is a better way to change the mind than pushing someone out. that's what this channel jeremy channel does. i mean, jeremy corbyn, channel does. i mean, jeremy corby| rather channel does. i mean, jeremy corby|rather fruity characters as some rather fruity characters as friends, and it essentially cost him, him place in the him, cost him his place in the labour party. >> they're not allowed in the lords. >> they're not just fruity people, are they? they are dangerous this dangerous extremists in this country , i think 90% of the country, i think 90% of the terrorist watch list is islamist suspects. now, more people , suspects. now, more people, including children, have died through extreme islamist terrorism in the last 50 years than any other sort of terrorism

. now, this is a real problem to our way of life. and this is really serious. why? i don't understand why he's having people like that for tea and why he's not calling out, using the church to call things like that out, because that's not how the church works. >> instance , when pope >> so, for instance, when pope john shot, tea john paul was shot, he had tea with the person who him. with the person who shot him. yeah, this about yeah, i get that. this is about opening conversations. the church here to shut church is not here to shut things down. things open things down. it's things to open things down. it's things to open thirwell, i think i think you're >> well, i think i think you're i don't understand the church. >> judgy, judgy and finger pointing time, pointing thing at the same time, though, he's just though, isn't he? he's not just being softly, softly, gentle. >> i think, generally speaking, he welcome he is trying to open welcome everybody and haranguing half the time. >> you know, this comes fresh off the as of what was off the back as well of what was widely reported yesterday about off the back as well of what was wideallegedted yesterday about off the back as well of what was wideallegedted y asylum about off the back as well of what was wideallegedted y asylum seeker this alleged fake asylum seeker conveyor do you do when >> but what do you do when someone ? yeah. someone comes? yeah. >> if you're defending himself against should against that, you should be defending himself against that. and we and i just wonder here when we couple with, you know, couple that with, you know, declining people couple that with, you know, declintol people couple that with, you know, declintol on people couple that with, you know, declintol on a people couple that with, you know, declintol on a sunday and going to church on a sunday and declining engagement the declining engagement with the with church of england faith with the church of england faith in increasingly in this country and increasingly disillusioned of disillusioned actual members of clergy, you think, clergy, etc. and you just think, why constant coming why is this guy constant coming

out saying stuff about out and saying stuff about another the church another faith? if the church really is, has got such a problem with these , when you problem with these, when you turn people to christianity for, for immigration, why is he not being called out more? are people scared of him just because he's a religious leader? >> you know, people are scared of him. i think the one of the really important tenets of the bible is that if somebody comes to you and says, i want to be part of your faith, you welcome them in. >> p- them in. >> very the church is >> and it's very the church is being gain. being used to gain. >> do when someone >> what do you do when someone so you are if somebody comes so if you are if somebody comes to you and i've called the to you and says, i've called the people are slaughtering people that are slaughtering nigerian christian children, islamist, card islamist, i mean, they are card carrying lot. carrying jihadis this lot. >> question marks about >> i think question marks about this, i think, i think he could have around the street on have done around the street on a saturday. this is members of boko haram. saturday. this is members of boi> yeah, quite possibly. i think there might have been an oversight. to oversight. but i think to suggest and i think probably in terms if he had his time again, he might well amend it. but i think terms of the fake think in terms of the fake conversion, amend conversion, he wouldn't amend it. wouldn't it. >> he wouldn't amend it. >> he wouldn't amend it. >> he's now i think he's >> i think he's now i think he's a complete boor. he's he's

a complete woke boor. he's he's just really to just he really is. and to be honest, don't him honest, i don't want him lecturing me on. >> on what? >> on what? >> the leader of your faith or immigration to anything he says. he's not he's not relevant to you. >> but i don't have other religions trying to tell me what i should. yes, you do that, do i? they all do . i? they all do. >> i've got charlotte on you. >> i've got charlotte on you. >> i've got charlotte on you. >> i like him to just be defending our faith a little bit more. you know, those of us who are maybe stick are christians maybe just stick up christianity. are christians maybe just stick up buchristianity. are christians maybe just stick up but what anity. are christians maybe just stick up but what isity. are christians maybe just stick up but what is it. are christians maybe just stick up but what is it that we need >> but what is it that we need to be defended against? >> i just don't see currently extremism. >> whole w“ >> that's the whole point of the statement. think statement. but i don't think that's agree. statement. but i don't think tha we agree. statement. but i don't think tha we absolutely all of this >> we absolutely all of this country to defended country need to be defended against i don't against extremism. but i don't think that's actually against the england. the church of england. i think it's well, you could the church of england. i think it's the well, you could the church of england. i think it's the west,, you could the church of england. i think it's the west, it'su could the church of england. i think it's the west, it's not uld the church of england. i think it's the west, it's not really argue the west, it's not really doing enough defend against extremism. >> now out extremism. >> now the >> he's now come out against the government trying the government trying to update the definition to try definition of extremism, to try to sure that there are to make sure that there are fewer extremists and unfortunately, of play fewer extremists and unthejnately, of play fewer extremists and unthe moment. of play fewer extremists and unthe moment. and of play fewer extremists and unthe moment. and this»f play fewer extremists and unthe moment. and this»f [not at the moment. and this is not just me saying this is prevent and the authorities and this is the authorities and the people who've done the investigations the people who've done the inve thattions the people who've done the inve that it's s the people who've done the inve that it's overwhelmingly say, that it's overwhelmingly islamist. and his response to this it might

extremists . extremists. >> mr speaker, the difference is he's his party. he's scared of his party. i've changed party. changed my party. >> hours later, though, he returned the whip to suspended mp andy mcdonnell, who was rapped for his rivers to the sea speech just days after october the 7th terror attacks. chairman of the national jewish assembly gary mond grapples with a former labour mp, ivor caplin, on this. it's not to be missed and it's

next. welcome back. loads on the show tonight. coming up, welcome back. loads on the show tonight. coming up , former tory tonight. coming up, former tory minister ann widdecombe weighs in on the conservatives racist donor row. and frankly, one brewing in the labour party as well. but time now for our head to head. all right, so the number of labour mps suspended for various misdemeanours has been racking up steadily in recent months, not least middlesbrough mp andy mcdonald , middlesbrough mp andy mcdonald, who was punished for his rallying cry shortly after the october seventh terrorist attack in israel . in israel. >> until all people, israelis and palestinian between the river and the sea can live in peaceful, liberty, free, free palestine . palestine. >> but earlier today, labour announced it had restored the whip to andy mcdonald after a full investigation . a party

full investigation. a party spokesman said the investigation concluded that he had not engagedin concluded that he had not engaged in conduct that was against the party's rulebook, but reminded him of the importance of elected representatives being mindful not only of what they say in public, but how their words may be interpreted, especially in reference controversial or reference to controversial or emotive issues. the chief whip met with andy following the outcome of the investigation, and received assurances that he understands be understands the need to be mindful about his future conduct. well is this what sir keir starmer meant in the commons today , when he said that commons today, when he said that he cleaned his party up of extremists ? extremists? >> shadow foreign secretary comparing conservatives to nazis, mr speaker, and the man that he wanted to make chancellor, the man that he wanted to make chancellor talking about lynching a female minister. >> mr speaker, the difference is he's scared of his party. i've changed my party. >> you've changed it. diane abbott remains suspended after saying that jews do not experience racism , while

experience racism, while starmer's old pal jeremy corbyn has also been banished alongside seven other labour mps, including kate osamor, who compared the gaza conflict to the holocaust. tonight i'm asking , has the holocaust. tonight i'm asking, has the war in gaza demonstrated starmer's weak leadership ? i'm debating this leadership? i'm debating this now. is former labour mp ivor capun now. is former labour mp ivor caplin and chairman of the national jewish assembly, gary eamonn . gary, i'll start with eamonn. gary, i'll start with you letting andy mcdonald back into the party. is this just weak leadership ? weak leadership? >> i think it sets a very bad precedent. we have somebody who called from the river to the sea. palestine will be free. thatis sea. palestine will be free. that is a blatant anti—semitic slogan because it essentially means the destruction of the state of israel and either the murder or the removal of all jews currently living there. it should not be tolerated . and should not be tolerated. and furthermore, he also spoke in that clip about peaceful liberty, or all people living in peaceful liberty. does he not realise that to get peaceful liberty in the area requires the eradication of hamas and that is

what israel is doing at the moment, and it should be supported in continuing to do that either keir starmer didn't want anyone to notice this. >> the labour party didn't want anyone to notice this. people. eagle saw on the eagle i just saw on the parliamentary website that it looked he got the whip looked like he got the whip back, went to them back, and then we went to them and said , oh, we'll and then they said, oh, we'll have to check. and then a couple of hours later they gave us that statement there. why was he trying sneak it the trying to sneak it under the radar he think it was radar if he didn't think it was a dodgy? i'm not sure. a bit dodgy? i'm not sure. >> patrick. he was trying to sneak it under the radar any more so everything more so than everything else that westminster. that goes on in westminster. lots as we've lots of things go on, as we've discussed before, and that's just how it is sometimes. it's a wednesday, thursday, friday. it happens at westminster. just to say , just to say a bit about say, just to say a bit about what gary just said. you know, l, what gary just said. you know, i, i didn't think that was a very clever comment that , that very clever comment that, that andy mcdonald made. i could understand entirely why he was suspended. that suspension is been for five months. i can kind

of have some sympathy with people wanting to get back into the party like diane abbott does, and i and in that case, would you like diane abbott back in? >> in? > sorry , in? >> sorry, would you let diane abbott back in, i think i would let diane abbott back in at the moment. i think i think i think a changed labour party then. >> is it either. >> is it either. >> well, yes, it is, because there are there are literally thousands of people who are no longer in the labour party, but who were in the labour party in previous times , and those people previous times, and those people have been expelled or taken out. i know diane abbott, i owned area, in, in the south that we've had to suspend and get out of the party lots and lots of people. so it has been a change. the change isn't just about, you know, 190 mps. >> all right. i'll go over to gary there. so we've got there someone who would be perfectly

happy to allow diane abbott back in. he thinks andy mcdonald should be allowed back in. gary, your view on that as the chairman of the national jewish assembly labour party, assembly change labour party, i'm them i'm completely opposed to them coming back in. >> you see, labour party anti—semitism just anti—semitism is not just a matter for people in the labour party. everyone in the country, every jew in the country is going to worried about it, going to be worried about it, irrespective how they vote irrespective of how they vote at a general election, it a general election, because it is major political and is a major political party and it tolerate it should not tolerate anti—semitism and to let diane abbott, who said that jews do not experience racism back into the party, is a tremendously retrograde step and will be condemned everywhere and can i say one more thing on this, that at the moment labour have got about 200 members of parliament. if do as well in the if they do as well in the election as the opinion polls say to do , they're say they're going to do, they're probably to have around say they're going to do, they're prob members to have around say they're going to do, they're prob members of» have around say they're going to do, they're prob members of parliament.d 400 members of parliament. that's 200 members of that's an extra 200 members of parliament about know parliament about whom we know very little in the labour party will, of course say, well, they've been vetted, but how have vetted? they're have they been vetted? they're very and these are very quiet about. and these are 200 unknown people, some of whom

might corbynistas or w0 i'se. woi'se. >> worse. >> okay, ivor, i mean , charlie >> okay, ivor, i mean, charlie rowley wasn't particularly well vetted, was he? and that snuck through the net. and then we're in a situation now where, lo and behold, mcdonald let behold, andy mcdonald will let him don't think him back in. i don't think that's anything to do as it that's got anything to do as it ivor, the pressure from the ivor, with the pressure from the left the galloway left and the george galloway issue, andy mcdonald was, i think , elected some time ago. think, elected some time ago. >> but what i would say and i can reassure gary here, i do a lot of interviewing of candidates , particularly for candidates, particularly for parliamentary seats, and i and i have to tell you, we are vigorous in the due diligence that we do with. >> did you interview tahir ali? we've been looking in in absolute about what we want people to be able to do. >> so i am really confident that for those who might win in in a general election, that they will be good and solid candidates, as we've seen in previous times

when labour has been successful, what do you make of that , gary? what do you make of that, gary? >> i think that in other political parties, the instances of anti—semitism among members of anti—semitism among members of parliament or candidates is incidental and isolated . i fear incidental and isolated. i fear that in the labour party, looking at so many past examples as it's endemic, you had a situation recently where 56 labour members of parliament, it's just not ceasefire. it's just not i'll let you come back on it. >> don't worry. i'll let you come back on it. >> don't worry. i'll let you come back on it . just stop. come back on it. just stop. either stop. i'll let him finish and then i'll you come back and then i'll let you come back on all right? yeah. on it. all right? yeah. we've had members of had 56 labour members of parliament call for a ceasefire, which essentially give which essentially would give victory had members >> we've had labour members of parliament or parliament only 18 months or so ago, putting an ago, actually putting down an early motion that early day motion saying that israel palestinian israel massacres palestinian journalists when we still have jeremy corbyn in the labour party. there is still a tremendous amount of anti—semitic activity within laboun anti—semitic activity within labour, in other parties , it's labour, in other parties, it's isolated. in labour, it's endemic. >> all right, look, there is

quite a bit to come back on there. yeah. go on. >> well firstly jeremy corbyn isn't in the labour party anymore and it's been clear that he won't be standing the he won't be standing for the labour party , in any labour party, in any circumstance. that that just circumstance. so that that just isn't true. what you just said, the second thing is that. but for me, it's all about the, the you can talk about those people, you, you know, who've got a view . and i've said constantly to people, you don't need to express these views out in the open. you can have a view, you can talk to the chief whip about it. there's lots of things you can do, but no. >> all right. hang on a minute. what do you mean? they. they can have these views, but don't express them out in open. express them out in the open. views. like views? like views. like what views? like i like i mentioned ali like like i mentioned zaheer ali earlier. azhar ali? earlier. what about azhar ali? you what about those of you know what about those of you.so you know what about those of you. so he should have he should have had those views it was have had those views that it was essentially conspiracy, have had those views that it was ess< october, conspiracy, have had those views that it was ess< october, seven nspiracy, have had those views that it was ess

i'm is are in any i'm saying is there are in any of labour in any the of the labour in any of the parties, sorry, including the tories here. >> are different views >> there are different views that and they that people can have and they can other members of the can talk to other members of the party. this is what i'm really saying is that in the main, if you go out in london on a saturday, as i've done a few times to watch what is going on in the demonstrations, i see people there who are nothing to do with the labour party and out. they are telling us how hamas should have this. hamas should have that. >> did you vet azhar ali right? >> did you vet azhar ali right? >> did you vet azhar ali right? >> did did you did you have anything to do with the vetting process for azhar ali? no, not at all. because i know you said earlier that, you know, you're across from the vetting stuff, so i do, i do that, but mainly south—east, right. okay. >> all right. this is me. >> all right. this is me. >> what amazes me is this seems to let in jew hatred as a, as a conceivable view that labour mps can have this worries me immensely. no, i actually wish sir keir starmer all the best of luck in ridding his party of

anti—semitism . it's in anti—semitism. it's in everyone's interest. but when you have jew hatred as a as an acceptable view, that is not on all right. >> that's not what i said ehhen >> you're making it up as you go along. what he's getting along. i think what he's getting i like wherever i think you like wherever you like, you are just like, but that you are just making it up as you go along. >> i what he's coming back >> i think what he's coming back to is idea that to either is the idea that i think there's understanding. think there's my understanding. all all right. all right. gary. all right. gary, understanding gary, look, my understanding i've final word gary, look, my understanding i'v> all right. okay. both both of you, thank you very, very much . you, thank you very, very much. all right. look, who do you agree with this labour reinstates whip to andy reinstates the whip to andy macdonald suspended macdonald after he was suspended for river

for proclaiming from the river to is this evidence of to the sea. is this evidence of weak leadership starmer? weak leadership from starmer? sam more evidence that sam says it's more evidence that the labour party hasn't changed. antisemitism is still a problem and starmer is a liar if he says it's not, john says this is weak leadership . it certainly won't leadership. it certainly won't help welcome help jewish people feel welcome to party. and to the labour party. and stephen, also on twitter, says both tories and labour both the tories and labour are two of same backside. two cheeks of the same backside. yet has been coining yet galloway has been coining this phrase. i am not, by the way, stephen alluding you to george galloway, but there we go. a problem go. the tories have a problem with labour with islamophobia. labour have a problem anti—semitism. problem with anti—semitism. tolerance and civility are the real , right? look, 92% real victims, right? look, 92% of you think this weak of you think this is weak leadership from starmer. of leadership from starmer. 8% of you not coming up yet . you say it's not coming up yet. another royal rumble is brewing as harry and meghan tonight dramatically deny that they stuck the boot into the princess of wales and her photoshop fail in the us press. i will speak to former bbc royal correspondent michael cole shortly, but next one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist, right ? another man's terrorist, right? that was labour donor and green fanatic dale vince giving hamas

a free pass last year. so should starmer return millions of pounds that he's given in labour donations to just like keir is demanding the tories do over their own donor race row? and are we actually seriously going to get a may

welcome back. it's patrick christys tonight we're on gb news. and coming up are harry and meghan. massive hypocrites.

okay. they have denied some allegations recently, but do we believe them? but first, rishi sunakis believe them? but first, rishi sunak is tonight facing increasing pressure to hand back frank hester's £10 million donation after the businessman made apparently racist comments about diane abbott with the scottish tories now demanding the prime minister carefully reviews the donation grief. the row dominated pmqs today. starmer joined row dominated pmqs today. starmerjoined in on the calls starmer joined in on the calls to hand back the cash . to hand back the cash. >> how low would he have to sink? what racist, woman hating threat of violence would he have to make before the prime minister plucked up the courage to hand back the £10 million thatis to hand back the £10 million that is taken from him? >> the gentleman apologised genuinely for his comments and that remorse should be accepted. but while starmer was busy giving sunak a hard time, it's emerged that labour donor dale vince has given starmer's party more than £2 million reportedly made this outrageous claim last yeah >> terrorist attack from hamas

palestine defending itself. >> i think one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist, right? that's how it works. look what's happening in palestine. millions of people living open prison, living in an open prison, freedom hamas . freedom fighters, hamas. >> i'm joined now by the former conservative minister ann widdecombe and, well, who should hand back the donation first, then starmer or sunak. >> neither of them is complete nonsense unless the money itself is corrupt , then there's no is corrupt, then there's no reason for them to hand it back. but what i really have yet to do, and we all saw the snippet of starmer saying it, was he talked about threats of violence, which presumably, was when, , that diane when, the donor said, that diane abbott should be shot now. keir starmer is of a generation, you know very well that that is an expression which our entire generation has used and is, when somebody had done something stupid. and i can understand if a 20 year old said, oh , that's a 20 year old said, oh, that's a terrible thing to say. but actually it was, in common parlance and it means nothing. it's just a metaphor for saying

how stupid she is. that's all it is , and you don't think, then, is, and you don't think, then, that either of them should hand that either of them should hand that that money back? and one apparently is called hamas, a freedom fighter organisation . freedom fighter organisation. and the other one, you know, just stand accused of, well , just stand accused of, well, racist remarks. i mean, you don't it's, you know, don't think it's, you know, there's a case there to be. well, we don't want this dirty money. >> well, there's nothing dirty about the money unless , as about the money unless, as i say, it was corruptly obtained, one has apologised, the other has not. which, enough, and i just think this is yet another artificial fuss. i mean, we've got the nhs and chaos. we've got dreadful education in this country. our defences are worn down to the bone and nobody is doing anything about it. down to the bone and nobody is doing anything about it . and we doing anything about it. and we want to worry about somebody making rude remarks about somebody else. >> yeah. no, you're right. i think it's a good, useful distraction technique, isn't it really, to be talking about that a lot of the time and not

actually talking about the fact that we haven't another that we haven't given another penny budget and penny to our defence budget and our not getting on its our nhs is not getting on its knees, and that we haven't got enough places for kids to go to school and not school and we're not doing anything and i do anything about that. and i do want you keir want to talk to you about keir starmer guardian starmer again, because guardian journalist has the journalist owen jones has the details of a conversation between labour leader and between the labour leader and diane abbott, who twice today asked starmer to give her the labour whip back. but it appears he declined to do so. indeed, abbott herself has confirmed that this discussion did take place and should diane abbott get the labour whip back? well look, that's honestly a matter for the labour party . for the labour party. >> she did say something appalling. i mean, this time i don't think you can dismiss it as just some sort of metaphor. i mean , she did say that that jews mean, she did say that that jews hadnt mean, she did say that that jews hadn't suffered racism and that is appalling. and given the terrible trouble that the labour party has at the moment with anti—semitism , it might send out

anti—semitism, it might send out all the wrong signals if he did restore the whip. but it is a matter for the labour party , matter for the labour party, and, you know, it's for starmer to take his decision and then if he's going to take it, stand by it, whatever it may be, i mean, she is, by the sounds of it, essentially begging for the whip back. >> she wasn't called in parliament today, which i know has caused a heck of a of has caused a heck of a lot of controversy. was wondering controversy. i was wondering whether not hoyle whether or not lindsay hoyle after, you know, allegedly doing keir massive favour keir starmer a massive favour the the gaza the other week over the gaza vote, he'd do the tories the other week over the gaza wbig he'd do the tories the other week over the gaza wbig favour he'd do the tories the other week over the gaza wbig favour today. do the tories the other week over the gaza wbig favour today. but,|e tories the other week over the gaza wbig favour today. but, you�*ries a big favour today. but, you know, do think that starmer know, do you think that starmer might though? he's might cave though? i mean, he's u—turned much u—turned on pretty much everything else. all right. he's saying labour saying he's a changed labour party. we've talking party. we've just been talking about the fact that andy mcdonald has managed to worm his way back in, and the labour party to sweep party wanted, wanted to sweep that carpet, by that under the carpet, by the way. a way. i mean, that was a remarkable exchange that we had with earlier with the labour party earlier today. show going today. people on this show going today. people on this show going to them not giving us to them and them not giving us a yes a no for ages. it being yes or a no for ages. it being on parliamentary website and on the parliamentary website and then before you know it, it's oh yeah, reviewed and now yeah, we've reviewed it and now he's i mean, is this

he's back in. i mean, is this a change labour party seriously. and you know, i wonder if it wouldn't change. wouldn't if it's not a change. >> change. labour >> it's not a change. labour party mean, it really isn't. party i mean, it really isn't. i mean, you just see from the, mean, you can just see from the, the that there has been the attitude that there has been towards and, you know, the towards gaza, and, you know, the huge pro—palestinian , or huge pro—palestinian, or pro—hamas rather, element in the labour party . so, i don't, labour party. so, i don't, i don't think it's a changed labour party. i don't think it's worth anybody voting for it who is concerned about anti—semitism, now , you know, anti—semitism, now, you know, diane abbott has been an mp for several decades for a long record of service. i'm sure that starmer will consider that. but at the end of the day, he's got to ask himself, you know , would to ask himself, you know, would anybody labour party anybody in the labour party endorse those remarks that diane abbott made? and if the answer is no , then you know, that's his is no, then you know, that's his i worry i worry that you might find out. >> the answer is yes, actually. but speaking speaking when she was august 2023, was suspended in august 2023, diane these errors diane abbott said these errors arose in an initial draft being sent. but there is no excuse and i wish to apologise for any

anguish racism takes anguish caused. racism takes many it's completely many forms. it's completely undeniable that jewish people have monstrous have suffered its monstrous effects, as have the irish people. travellers many people. travellers and many others. , this is others. now look, this is something i'm keen to talk to you about. torrid days for you about. torrid few days for the liz anderson, the prime minister liz anderson, de to reform. now he's de facto to reform. now he's embroiled old race embroiled in this old donor race row, isn't on monday night, row, isn't he? on monday night, apparently , he was hauled into. apparently, he was hauled into. this rishi sunak. he was this is rishi sunak. he was hauled tense private talks hauled into tense private talks with mps from the party's with tory mps from the party's all powerful backbench 1922 committee, who allegedly warned sunak against a may general election. a senior tory source says seven months is a long time in politics. just imagine if england won the euros and team gb got a load of goals at the olympics . i gb got a load of goals at the olympics. i mean, yeah, gb got a load of goals at the olympics . i mean, yeah, that's olympics. i mean, yeah, that's ridiculous by way. but ridiculous by the way. but i mean on gareth southgate mean relying on gareth southgate for premiership. i pun for your premiership. i mean pun intended is a ridiculous thing to should there be a may election? >> and i don't believe there will be a may election. i mean, i say bring it on as soon as possible, but i don't believe

there will be one, for the very simple reason that first all, simple reason that first of all, if know going to lose if you know you're going to lose and fails, don't and sunak fails, you don't hand government opposition , government to the opposition, you string it out. secondly, of course, there is this sort of political micawber ism, and you think, well, if you don't have it till the last minute, something might turn up or even something might turn up or even something will turn up, you know? if they're relying on know? but if they're relying on victory euros for victory victory in the euros for victory in general election , and all i in a general election, and all i can say is they're even, you know , further than i thought know, further than i thought before, in a just completely chaotic spin with no sense at all. >> yeah. i mean, the idea that rishi sunak might lose on penalties will be, will be very, very adept. wouldn't say , yeah, very adept. wouldn't say, yeah, if i was him as well, i would absolutely . i if i was him as well, i would absolutely. i mean, i'm not saying he should do this, but i would absolutely wait until january. you've got to look at it, prime minister, from 2022 to 2025, looks better on the 2025, it looks better on the tombstone, than tombstone, frankly, than anything completely anything else. being completely selfish you very selfish. and thank you very much. have to leave it much. we will have to leave it there. former conservative minister ann whittaker. and what a i sit a legend. now coming up, i sit down former immigration

down with former immigration minister robert jenrick about soft touch plans to give £3,000 to every migrant failed asylum seeker who agrees to go to rwanda. >> we're now seeing today the fact that the bill that's about to leave parliament isn't good enough, doesn't do the job, won't secure our borders, and that's a great shame . that's a great shame. >> other than that, he's a massive fan of it. but next, harry and meghan tonight dramatically denied that they briefed press that they'd briefed us. press that they'd never be so stupid to have fallen victim to kate middleton's photoshop fail. do we believe them? do we believe they didn't give kate a kicking in her hours of need? former bbc royal correspondent michael cole will be here with his expert take. ask him, should the take. i'll ask him, should the sussexes have well wishes

it's patrick christys tonight on gb news. coming up, former immigration minister robert jenrick rages at plans to pay migrants three grand to leave to rwanda. but first, it's time for former bbc royal correspondent michael cole . harry and meghan michael cole. harry and meghan have broken their silence on the princess kate photo editing scandal, denying that sources inside their camp made outrageous comments comparing meghan and kate a source

reported to be close to the sussexes told us publication page six if harry and meghan had ever encountered the same issue , ever encountered the same issue, they would have been annihilated. this isn't a mistake. meghan would ever make, but the sussexes have insisted through their spokesperson . with through their spokesperson. with respect to page six, that did not come from us. whom do we believe them? still no well—wishes for princess kate on her recovery from surgery then. well, michael , your reaction ? well, michael, your reaction? >> well, patrick, good evening. there is hope for humanity yet the. >> well of human kindness is not quite dry because the duke and duchess of sussex in california have let it be known, through their spokesman that they are not gloating over the present difficulties being experienced by princess of wales because of the faked photo fiasco . the faked photo fiasco. >> oh no indeed, they didn't say those words . but as you've just

those words. but as you've just pointed out so skilfully , what pointed out so skilfully, what that message didn't contain was any words of goodwill , of any words of goodwill, of comfort, of family feeling or concern for the princess of wales as she recovers from what was quite clearly serious abdominal surgery back in january, they've never issued one single word of comfort to her. and when you consider that after the prince and princess of wales were married in 2011, and living at kensington palace , living at kensington palace, prince harry was almost a fixture there. he was there every day. the three of them were very friendly , kate, who we were very friendly, kate, who we see there in happier times with her husband, but got on terribly well with harry, and he really. well, i think he can say he loved her, of course, all that happened when meghan entered the scene, and we all know the sad story that has evolved ever since. but, of course they want

to distance themselves from those words which reported because they're very hurtful and they're very unkind . and they were. >> can we believe them, though? michael? michael, seriously , you michael? michael, seriously, you know, can we believe them? you know, can we believe them? you know, i mean, after everything, it's all very well and good saying, didn't come it's all very well and good sayin us. didn't come it's all very well and good sayinus. but didn't come it's all very well and good sayinus. but i didn't come it's all very well and good sayinus. but i mean n't come it's all very well and good sayinus. but i mean , t come it's all very well and good sayinus. but i mean , yeah,e from us. but i mean, yeah, really? is that true? i mean, there was all this talk about, oh, anything to oh, we didn't have anything to do omid scobie. oh, we do with omid scobie. oh, we didn't anything to do with, didn't have anything to do with, a load of stuff. and it turned out did . out they did. >> i'm sure that >> well, i'm quite sure that schadenfreude , a german word schadenfreude, a german word which is understood universally to enjoying other people's to mean enjoying other people's failures or discomfort, is not unknown at montecito. and, of course, the two couples, have been at, daggers drawn for a long, long time now, i suppose it would be less than human if they didn't take some satisfaction in seeing, the princess of wales, who , both of princess of wales, who, both of them have gone out of their way to criticise . and in one book to criticise. and in one book written by their spokesman on

earth, amanuensis, omid scobie , earth, amanuensis, omid scobie, accuses quite bluntly, the princess of wales of exhibiting racist comments or racist attitudes towards meghan markle, which of course is the most egregious and deadly, top allegation to make because it's very, very difficult to disprove. you have to prove a negative. i am not a racist and it's very unfair. so you mentioned toxic though, marco. >> you mentioned toxic there. right? and you know, everyone's got relatives, every family's got relatives, every family's got relatives, every family's got relatives they don't particularly get on with. okay. you find out that somebody is very unwell and every indication is that somebody is even more unwell than you initially told. and you do not release a statement to say , we wish. kate statement to say, we wish. kate well, i think that's disgusting. >> we do know something . it was

>> we do know something. it was the point i was going to come on to because even in families where there is a falling out, when there is serious trouble, when there is serious trouble, when there is serious trouble, when the backs to the wall, when people are really up against it. even the worst rows are patched up and people come together and i think it is really quite deplorable that prince harry, who was so close to his brother, and, and to the princess of wales and, you know, i cannot stop thinking about their mother. the late and much missed diane , the princess of wales. diane, the princess of wales. she would be so upset about this. she thought those boys would always be there for each other and stick up for each other. and to see what has happened, she would be distressed in the extreme were she here. i'm so glad. in a way, she's not here to see it because it would break her heart. >> no , indeed. look, i'm sure >> no, indeed. look, i'm sure meghan and harry. well, well, they have said that they were not in any way linked to that particular source. and that this

isn't you briefing isn't them, you know, briefing against, briefing against kate, etc. does it not say a lot, maybe about the company that you keep, though, that somebody might look at this opportunity and decide in this hour of need to go, oh, this would never have happened to meghan. i mean, i'm sorry, but taking pr advice from people who've gone from being, you know, darlings of britain to some would say been some people would say have been about popular a in a lift. about as popular as a in a lift. okay. it's really taking okay. it's not really taking taking the right taking pr advice from the right people. surely >> i a recent survey >> no, i think a recent survey showed that 66% of the population, two thirds of the british population, actively disliked meghan. strangely enough, in america, the approval rating for catherine, princess of wales was 35. that means 35% more people liked her that didn't like her. and prince william was the most popular man in america , in the whole world in america, in the whole world on 72. all right. so we know

who's winning the pr battle. well, that's what it is. >> we're just going to have to leave it there. sorry. bit squeezed for time, but thank you very much. that is the former bbc royal correspondent michael cole coming just what the cole coming up. just what the hell on at the whole hell is going on at the whole funeral there's funeral directors. there's been mysteriously cops. mysteriously probed by cops. two people have bailed. 35 people have been bailed. 35 bodies deceased have been bodies of the deceased have been removed building. removed from the building. what's i sit what's happening? but next i sit down immigration down with former immigration minister jenrick. minister robert jenrick. >> what we're hearing today is something very different, much weaker and is going to undermine the very principle that lies behind the policy . behind the policy. >> £3,000 for migrants to go to rwanda, you couldn't make it up and the civil service taking our government to court. this is patrick tonight. we're patrick christys tonight. we're only news now your only on gb news now is your weather with alex? >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> good evening. welcome to your

from somebody, from somebody who chose to represent an anti—semitic terrorist group, hizb ut—tahrir, who chose to serve a leader who let anti—semitism run rife in this labour party. those are his actions. those are his values. and that's how he should be judged . judged. >> rishi sunak speaking there now, andy macdonald has had the labour whip restored after he was cleared of breaking party rules by using a controversial slogan at a pro palestine rally. the mp for middlesbrough was suspended in october after he used the phrase from the river to the sea during a speech at a pro—palestine event. the words refer to the land between the river jordan refer to the land between the riverjordan and refer to the land between the river jordan and the mediterranean, which many find offensive because it appears to refer to all of israel . a labour refer to all of israel. a labour spokesperson said mr macdonald had that elected had been reminded that elected representatives must be mindful of how their words are interpreted. migrants who've been refused asylum in britain could be offered thousands of pounds to move to rwanda. the

voluntary scheme would be separate to the safety of rwanda bill, which is facing delays due to a series of amendments. it would extend current returns, policies , which sees some policies, which sees some migrants offered £3,000 to return to their country of origin . and the first minister origin. and the first minister of wales has criticised boris johnson's leadership during the covid pandemic. mark drakeford said the former prime minister was like the absent manager of a football team, and accused him of not taking the pandemic seriously . speaking at the covid seriously. speaking at the covid inquiry, he also said mrjohnson was deliberately unclear as to whether some rules only apply to england. the welsh conservatives accused mr drakeford of using the inquiry to attack his political opponents, and called for a whale specific inquiry. and for the latest stories, sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. com slash alerts now it's back to . patrick.

it's back to. patrick. >> is britain being run by a woke activist? deep state civil service? today it's emerged that senior civil servants and their union are threatening to take government ministers to court if they are made to implement the rwanda plan . the same civil rwanda plan. the same civil service that got dominic raab sacked for bullying , despite him sacked for bullying, despite him never shouting or swearing at anyone, even when one idiot nearly accidentally handed gibraltar to the spanish. gibraltar back to the spanish. the same civil service that published a slagging off published a tweet slagging off bofis published a tweet slagging off boris johnson and dominic cummings, the same civil service that employs a bloke as a diversity chief was out diversity chief who was out campaigning george galloway campaigning for george galloway in humanity in rochdale. thunder or humanity stand for palestine, stand for george galloway , the same civil george galloway, the same civil service that listed a change of government as its top wish for 2020. for the same civil service that granted a palestinian living in israel asylum in britain because it viewed israel as an apartheid state which is completely against government policy . they also keep offering policy. they also keep offering asylum to people from rwanda,

hammering home the point that the wokies don't think it's safe . and then, shock, horror, it's emerged that the government is going to offer failed asylum seekers £3,000 to voluntarily go to rwanda . this is clearly to rwanda. this is clearly because the government has realised this is the only way they'll ever be allowed to send someone there . it's a farce. someone there. it's a farce. earlier, i spoke to former immigration minister robert jenrick. look, i started by asking him about the cash for rwanda lunacy. >> well, this is a tacit admission by the government that the rwanda bill that they've proposed against the advice of myself and over 60 conservative mps who tried to put forward a better, stronger bill won't work. it is an admission that they cannot remove the illegal migrants who are coming here at scale and at pace, as they promised to do, and instead are going to have to resort to paying going to have to resort to paying people to voluntarily

leave to rwanda. the rwanda policy is all about creating a strong and sustainable deterrent based on detaining people upon arrival, and then forcibly removing them to rwanda. i'm afraid what we're hearing today is something very different, much weaker , and is going to much weaker, and is going to undermine the very principle that lies behind the policy. >> i asked him if this could actually lead to more channel crossings. >> well, i think it's very naive to assume that someone who has come here to the uk, who we then tell that we're very unlikely to be able to remove them back home to their home country for various reasons and offer to pay them to go to rwanda would be likely to accept the people likely to accept that the people who designed this latest who have designed this latest policy, i'm afraid, don't understand what we're up against and what we need to do as a country to secure our borders and to deliver this policy. and it's a great shame because the rwanda policy is very important. it's a critical part of our plan

to secure our borders. it's one that if we can succeed, will be copied by other countries elsewhere in europe and indeed around the world. this is a backward step, and i hope the government will think twice. >> i put it to him that the civil service was threatening to take ministers to court if they try to actually enact the rwanda plan. >> well, look, i believe in parliamentary sovereignty and parliament dictates the law of the land ministers then implement it and make decisions and then the civil service have to get on and deliver them. and i'm confident that the civil servants in the home office will agree and will get on and make sure that these flights go ahead . i've seen the letter from the civil service union, and i disagree with it entirely. i hope this doesn't become an issue. what we've all got to do now as a country is deliver for the public. that's what really matters. and the public's view is very clear. they want us to stop boats. they want to

stop the boats. they want us to do whatever it takes. >> the current incarnation >> well, the current incarnation of the conservative party is unbelievably wet and weak , with unbelievably wet and weak, with the exception, obviously, of robert jenrick and a few others. but there is obviously a layer of servants behind them of civil servants behind them who appear to be left leaning activists doing everything they can to block anything they disagree with. but let's get the thoughts of my panel now, its editor at large at the mail on sunday. charlotte griffiths. i've also got businessman and activist brooks and highly activist adam brooks and highly successful journalist successful author and journalist rebecca reid. adam, the idea that the civil service union could take ministers to court over being asked to enact a policy is nuts. >> i think it's absolutely unthinkable, again, what robert said there, there they are there to do their job and i believe if to do theirjob and i believe if they refuse to do their job, they refuse to do their job, they should be sacked. and look, i'm so angry at this illegal immigration situation at the

moment . i believe it's moment. i believe it's a national emergency. and i think a lot of people do that. if they refuse to do their job and stop refuse to do theirjob and stop this, they should be arrested themselves for not doing their job. at end of the day, we job. at the end of the day, we are sending a signal. this paying paying are sending a signal. this paying paying migrants to go elsewhere. we are sending a signal to the rest of the world that we have got this free cash that we have got this free cash that we have got this free cash that we could just give away. let's remember this £3,000 comes from you. me, you know, and the taxpayer. >> this is me, i pay taxes, my next. even if i couldn't look the taxpayer are paying twice for these people. >> you know we're we're housing them for their free housing. their free, health care and whatever. and now what we're offering them our money to rwanda. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> exactly that. >> exactly that. >> it's the package. it's a package holiday, isn't it? it's a disgrace. >> laughing stock. this >> we're a laughing stock. this country utter laughing country is an utter laughing stock. robert jenrick . look, stock. and robert jenrick. look, i wish sunak would just go and we could him as a temporary we could have him as a temporary prime because at prime minister, because at the end the seems to

end of the day, he seems to understand the immigration problem. does. and problem. no one else does. and i think things have got to change. >> things that i will say is about robert jenrick it. there is. did him is. we did have him as immigration and we had immigration minister and we had suella braverman as home secretary. if both of those secretary. and if both of those two people were saying anything like the stuff they've come out and said since whilst they were in jobs, and still in those jobs, and we still couldn't get stuff done, that really imply they were really does imply they were shackled were shackled. shackled. they were shackled. there state. there is a woke deep state. >> i don't think there's a woke deep state. i think that the civil service won't do anything that the echr, and that contravenes the echr, and they do anything that's they won't do anything that's ostensibly illegal. the civil service deliver service isn't there to deliver things because them things just because we like them . if you voted to bring back capital punishment, it would pass country. pass in this country. the majority people this majority of people in this country would bring back hanging. doesn't the hanging. that doesn't mean the civil should do civil service should be like, do you what? let's do a bit you know what? let's do a bit of hanging not hanging this month. that's not their should resign. theirjob. they should resign. it's not. >> then should it's not. >> then they should resign. they are paid to a job. are paid to do a job. >> they don't want to do so. >> if they don't want to do so. >> if they don't want to do so. >> asked if you are >> if you were asked if you are being a jobs illegal or being paid for a jobs illegal or that the echr, if it

that contravenes the echr, if it contravenes the echr, then yes, it answer. it is the answer. >> they're looking loopholes >> they're looking for loopholes and pro this and if they were pro this policy, be looking and if they were pro this polthat be looking and if they were pro this polthat loophole. be looking and if they were pro this polthat loophole. they'dlooking for that loophole. they'd overlook sort say, oh overlook it and sort of say, oh no, also carry it out. no, no, but also carry it out. >> i think is a very the >> i think this is a very the idea that there's a they for the civil service. it's one of the biggest employers this biggest employers in this country. they there biggest employers in this courjob. they there biggest employers in this courjob. a they there biggest employers in this courjob. a but they there biggest employers in this courjob. a but it'siey there biggest employers in this courjob. a but it's not.1ere is a job. it's a but it's not. they are a diverse group of people with different opinions. but in rwanda but if you believe in the rwanda plan £3,000 thing plan then this £3,000 thing might thing that might be the only thing that makes it work. >> well, because because >> well, no, because because it's failed asylum seekers okay. so to end up so what they're going to end up doing is anyone who's been told, i about this is i mean, the joke about this is we oh, you've asylum claims we say, oh, you've asylum claims failed. we still can't deport them anyway. >> but cheaper. >> sure, but it's cheaper. >> sure, but it's cheaper. >> to stay >> it could just choose to stay and, you look at the and, you know, you look at the civil service, rattled a civil service, i rattled off a few examples. the civil service itself about itself tweeted about what? a bunch boris johnson. bunch of jokers. boris johnson. i they got in i mean, they got hacked in fairness, hack. fairness, that was a hack. >> wasn't that wasn't >> that wasn't some that wasn't an that wasn't an an official. that wasn't an official statement from the civil service. >> w- e within the >> that was someone within the civil absolutely. civil service. oh, absolutely. >> was it was >> yes. but it was it was somebody who lost. but somebody who lost. it was. but that's sort of that's not an that's a sort of that's not an official statement from them actually hacked someone

actually got hacked by someone who works civil service. >> which of or not. >> which kind of or not. >> which kind of or not. >> don't know who tweeted >> we don't know who tweeted that. >> we don't know who tweeted tha okay, then you've got, >> okay, and then you've got, you variety different you know, variety of different activists there. you've got, activists in there. you've got, you rattled a few you know, i rattled off a few examples. mean, civil examples. so, i mean, the civil service it's service is now i mean, it's ridiculous that we could have a democratically elected government who's trying to enact policy popular policy that is popular with the country. people the country. and some people in the civil say, civil service could just say, no, i'll take to court if you no, i'll take it to court if you do that. >> that's that seems to be >> yeah, that's that seems to be the reason, tetris just to the whole reason, tetris just to slow down. and i'm slow things down. and i'm a really believer that the really big believer that the government to and government has to be more and more as goes by, more nimble as time goes by, because got rolling news because we've got rolling news that on it now. that we're on it right now. everything's at miles everything's moving at 100 miles an civil service an hour, and the civil service just get with the just cannot get with the program. slow program. they just slow everything right down and it's incredibly democracy. also would just like to >> i also would just like to take up this thing about take you up on this thing about the will of the people, because only 42% people that only 42% of people agree that they of it, and they are in favour of it, and only people think it will only 1% of people think it will actually so actually stop the boats. so it's not popular. not that popular. >> you put it, you about 80% >> if you put it, you about 80% of people of this country, of the people of this country, if more, want to stop this if not more, want to stop this illegal immigration problem 100. >> the to do >> but this isn't the way to do it. france. if you're it. getting france. if you're going france going to keep giving france

money, them money, then you then make them do work out and do their job and work out and break trafficking. break the human trafficking. >> ways have >> those are the ways you have to at kind of jobs some to look at the kind of jobs some of the kind of jobs that are on offer when it comes to our border security in the home office. asylum office. you've got the asylum seeker resettlement team, okay. well, who applies for those jobs? people with jobs? you know, people with respect, think respect, adam, i don't think you or would for job that or i would apply for a job that is necessarily resettling is about necessarily resettling asylum would imagine asylum seekers. i would imagine it about whether it would be more about whether or them or not we are vetting them properly, with view to getting properly, with a view to getting them planes, to rwanda. and them on planes, to rwanda. and you what kind people? >> maybe should a career >> maybe you should do a career change then, if you think that's what needs, you and what it needs, maybe you and adam do some work adam should go and do some work experience. >> yeah, wouldn't be against >> yeah, i wouldn't be against that, yeah, famously to >> but yeah, famously want to work the time. you work from home all the time. you know, had this big battle know, we've had this big battle to get them actually to go back to get them actually to go back to are actually to the office. they are actually just and i think just kind of slow and i think they're really, aren't they? >> mean, listed their top >> i mean, they listed their top priority for 2024, a priority for 2024, adam, as a change that's change of government. that's the civil service and you civil service right. and so, you know, now that's that's worrying. >> that's worrying that statements like that come statements like that can come out. statements like that can come out but that statements like that can come outbut that not statements like that can come out but that not the things >> but is that not the things they're deal they're going to have to deal with not the thing that with in 2024. not the thing that

gb news. all right. welcome back. i have got tomorrow's newspaper front pages soon. but first, it's a story that's gripping the nation. two people have been arrested, and since bailed after police officers removed 35 bodies and human ashes from legacy independent funeral directors in hull, in what police have labelled a truly horrific incident. a heartbroken daughter has told the sun newspaper that she fears she

kissed an empty coffin , while kissed an empty coffin, while another found out that the ashes of their loved one, which they used to make jewellery, could belong to someone else . belong to someone else. humberside police have said their investigation is continuing and no individuals have been charged, but elsewhere earlier this week, a london priest arrived to conduct a funeral service, only to find the mourners were paid actors and the coffin was empty. funeral directors are actually an unregulated industry in the uk , and the daily telegraph has uk, and the daily telegraph has reported tonight that 1 in 6 firms are never inspected . in firms are never inspected. in light of that last story there, what is really going on in our funeral parlours? could you have another poor person's relative's ashes in an urn on your mantelpiece? just what is it like, though, to be an undertaker in this current day and age? well, i am joined now very gratefully so by the co—owner of brydie white independent services , independent funeral services, bnan independent funeral services, brian white. brian, thank you very to have you on very much. great to have you on the show. evening, patrick. for want phrase, i'm

want of a better phrase, i'm hoping might be able to lift hoping you might be able to lift the old undertaker the lid on the old undertaker business for a funeral business for us. a funeral director if director business for us, if that's didn't realise that's okay. so i didn't realise it was unregulated. can you talk me that, please? well me through that, please? well >> well, we opened our funeral home 15 months ago, and it was news to me. the whole industry is unregulated and there's no license required. you can voluntarily become a member of a trade association, but you don't have to do that. so basically , have to do that. so basically, anyone could open a funeral home whenever they like, including you. patrick if you wanted to. >> this all goes belly >> hey, if this all goes belly up , then i what i'm doing. up, then i know what i'm doing. but, on a, you know, but, look on a, you know, on a serious note, it's a bit of gallows humour knocking about here. a serious note, here. but on a serious note, i mean, you as a relative of mean, when you as a relative of somebody who's recently deceased, know, you, you deceased, you know, you, you employ yourself employ people like yourself and obviously certain obviously you expect certain standards you just assume standards and you just assume that's it is . do you that's the way it is. do you think what is the industry like? is cowboy esque, i is it a bit cowboy esque, i can't speak for the entire industry. patrick. i know what we do in our funeral home. i know we i know how we treat our

families. i know how we treat those that have passed away. so i can only speak on behalf of myself and what we do at brady white. but the rest of the industry does. i speak for industry does. i can't speak for them, hope, and my them, i would hope, and my assumption would be that they're all people there in the all good people out there in the main and are doing the right thing, can't speak for the thing, but i can't speak for the industry. the industry. can i ask what the process is? >> so when comes storing >> so when it comes to storing the deceased, yeah . obviously the deceased, yeah. obviously this depends on how big the funeral parlour is, no doubt. but but you guys have presumably quite system of, quite a regimented system of, well, we store people in this particular place. their funeral is on this day, and they need to either be in that coffin or that crematorium that time. i just crematorium by that time. i just don't some people crematorium by that time. i just donmessing some people crematorium by that time. i just don messing this some people crematorium by that time. i just donmessing this up some people crematorium by that time. i just donmessing this up . some people are messing this up. >> so bring somebody into >> so we'll bring somebody into our so when we bring our care here. so when we bring somebody to our care and they'll always stay premises. so always stay in our premises. so in home, in our in our funeral home, in our funeral home we have mortuary facility. the people stay in facility. so the people stay in our premises the time. our premises all the time. that's same for that's not the same for everybody do not everybody else. others do not necessarily the necessarily keep people on the same so we do. we will same premises. so we do. we will

agree with the family a date for the burial cremation and the burial or the cremation and book and inform the book that in and inform the family happening and family when it's happening and the service will take place, the cremation will happen. will cremation will happen. we will collect the bring the collect the ashes, bring the ashes continually speak ashes back and continually speak to the family through the whole process, dates, about process, about dates, about times, and they will come back in and collect the ashes at the end that process. end of that process. >> in your view , is it quite >> in your view, is it quite difficult to , you know, get the difficult to, you know, get the wrong ashes, from in my view, yes, very difficult to get the wrong ashes, it would be highly unusual and just as a, as a yeah, as a as a wider point really, i suppose. i mean, you know, there is i think i imagine there's going to be some quite loud clamour now to, you know, zone in a bit on the funeral parlour industry and do you think there is, there is a need for that . for that. >> absolutely. i think the industry needs to be regulated. i think there should be inspections, ad hoc inspections. people turning up and also families should be shown around

a funeral home. a family should be able to walk into a funeral director and say, can you show me where you care for the deceased? and the funeral director should be able to say, yeah, i'll show you immediately if to that or if there's delays to that or hold on. i'm not we can do hold on. i'm not sure we can do that. that would cause worry that. that would cause me worry and doubt . so it should be and doubt. so it should be available. it's an open. available. it's almost an open. we door policy we have an open door policy here. encourage our families here. we encourage our families and show all around our and we show them all around our funeral and we've been funeral home. and we've been like day number one. like that from day number one. i mean , there we are. i do not mean, there we are. i do not think that's the same about lots of others. no >> fair enough, there was a case, recently . it was the case, recently. it was the second story that we mentioned there, about a body there, which was about a body not being in the coffin. i mean, there was apparently some there was also apparently some paid actors at this funeral, so the mind does boggle, but, how how i mean, again, you know, does the family not get to check?i does the family not get to check? i suppose there's a body in the coffin. >> of course. the family wants the check . of course they can. the check. of course they can. if a family came in to us and said, oh, can i check my mum, dad, in the coffin? dad, whoever is in the coffin? and been sealed.

and the coffin had been sealed. we would reopen the coffin for them. never happened. but them. it's never happened. but of the family wanted of course, if the family wanted to that, we'd yes, of to do that, we'd say, yes, of course yeah, no, but i, course you can. yeah, no, but i, i'm i don't understand that i'm not. i don't understand that other story. the previous story, it sounds the whole thing was a bit of a setup with actors and a fake coffin. so i'm not really sure one's all about fake coffin. so i'm not really su all. one's all about at all. >> yeah, i mean, i'm fascinated by obviously, but i think, i by it, obviously, but i think, i think more important thing think the more important thing is it being an is this idea of it being an essentially unregulated industry. i really appreciate you us. you coming on tonight for us. thank much. thank you very, very much. really have your really great to have your insight. well, i suspect insight. and as well, i suspect we end up talking again at we might end up talking again at some point soon as, you know, we're waiting to see how things develop. thank you very much. that was co—owner of brydie that was the co—owner of brydie white independent funeral services, runs upstanding services, who runs an upstanding funeral okay. funeral services. right. okay. coming meghan have coming up, harry and meghan have tonight dramatically denied criticising the princess of wales us , insisting that, wales in the us, insisting that, quote, attacking kate middleton that to a source that were attributed to a source from the sussex camp did not come from them. can we really believe them? is kate getting the markle treatment? the meghan markle treatment? but next have all of your

reliance on race row major donor reveal. well, he is interesting. 21% of the conservative party's election war chest comes from frank hester. so they obviously cannot get rid of this guy or. well, they could, but they certainly can't give him the money back, let's go over to the independent. diane abbott accuses the tories and labour of shocking racism. according to abbott, everyone's a racist . abbott, everyone's a racist. essentially. mp tells the independent that both parties were slow to call out vile abuse directed at her as rishi sunak says, racist donor has shown remorse, said the tories won't return his £10 million. so there we go. that's the first loss of your front pages for you anyway. i am joined, of course, by the editor at large of the mail on sunday. charlotte griffiths, businessman and activist adam brooks, author brooks, and author and journalist rebecca reid. now harry have tonight's harry and meghan have tonight's emphatic denied criticising the princess of wales in the us press over her photoshop

attempts , insisting, quote, attempts, insisting, quote, attacking kate middleton that were attributed to a source from the sussex camp did not in fact come from them . the mystery come from them. the mystery source told page six magazine if harry and meghan had ever encountered the same issue, they would been annihilated. would have been annihilated. this a mistake meghan this isn't a mistake meghan would made. comes would ever have made. it comes as the times exclusively reveal in tomorrow's newspaper. this in tomorrow's newspaper. so this is the new bit that prince harry and his brother william are still so at loggerheads that they won't. sorry. they will both appear at an event to pay tribute to their late mother this week. but the duke of sussex will only speak after the prince of wales has left. so let me just reiterate that there's an event to pay tribute to their late mum later this week. but the duke of sussex will only speak after the prince of wales has wills will attend the has left. wills will attend the diana legacy award event in person on thursday night in london and give a short speech. harry is going to beam in over webcam from california, but will only speak apparently once william has actually left the

building. well, there we go. charlotte, your thoughts ? charlotte, your thoughts? >> well, that's just so petty, isn't it? but it's actually very convincing . i mean, isn't it? but it's actually very convincing. i mean, i'm isn't it? but it's actually very convincing . i mean, i'm sure convincing. i mean, i'm sure that that has actually happened because harry and william have stipulated really stipulated it. that's the really sad pathetic thing is that sad and pathetic thing is that they are with everything else that's going on, they are still so that they can't so pathetic that they can't appear even though appear even, even even though harry's in california at the same event, unless it's separately. it'sjust same event, unless it's separately. it's just madness. >> it'sjust separately. it's just madness. >> it's just brit school do you buy it? adam? when harry and meghan say that source saying that meghan would never have fallen of photoshop fallen foul of this photoshop thing everything thing with everything that kate's got going on at the moment, you moment, obviously unwell, you know that know them down, denying that they've stuck the boot in. sorry. no, no. go on. >> but that comment was so obviously them. just read obviously them. it just read like something they like exactly something they would i know they're would say. and i know they're denying but mean it denying it now, but i mean it just harry. just smacks of harry. >> i'm really not a meghan fan. so you know , i'm really not. so no, you know, i'm really not. i she's brought lot of i think she's brought a lot of this herself . she's ripped this on herself. she's ripped this on herself. she's ripped this apart, in this family apart, in my opinion, she's caused a lot opinion, and she's caused a lot of the attention that she's got

from the british media, and i think kate is the opposite. i think kate is the opposite. i think , you know, from what we think, you know, from what we see, she is, she's done everything she's been asked for in the royal family. she comes across lovely from what we can see, you know, i'm not a big fan of meghan. >> people are convinced by kate in a way that they're just not by meghan. >> but i, i agree, and i'm a big by meghan. >> bfan, i agree, and i'm a big by meghan. >> bfan, butjree, and i'm a big by meghan. >> bfan, but iee, and i'm a big by meghan. >> bfan, but i do and i'm a big by meghan. >> bfan, but i do think m a big by meghan. >> bfan, but i do think that'sig kate fan, but i do think that's probably that she that probably true that she that meghan wouldn't have done this. meghan wouldn't have done this. meghan so savvy and meghan is so publicity savvy and so, aware of her image. so, so aware of her own image. i don't think naive . i think don't think she's naive. i think i'm not sure she gets it right. i'm not sure she gets it right. i think she messes it up a lot. but i think that kate is perhaps too naive and too innocent. if that by her and that photo was taken by her and she around with and she messed around with it and she messed around with it and she ap, that comes she gave it to ap, that comes from somebody who is, in their core, meghan is core, quite naive. and meghan is not naive. >> yeah, meghan's with >> yeah, meghan's obsessed with authenticity word authenticity. she uses that word the she's of the whole time. but she's of course, incredibly course, so incredibly inauthentic. she really believes us all crazy. >> we really believing >> are we really believing that she took photo and she honestly took that photo and she honestly took that photo and she doctored it herself? she she doctored it herself? come on, what was it? >> did do that?

>> did she do that? >> did she do that? >> because is. if harry and >> because it is. if harry and meghan, which they deny, if it was indeed them, through a source that have decided to give kate a kicking at that particular moment in time, that is right ? that particular moment in time, that is right? that is is horrendous, right? that is absolutely if that is the absolutely awful. if that is the case, but potentially shows how far removed they are and how much, how little they communicate with the royal family possibly if they family because possibly if they knew what was going on, they wouldn't have done that. i think they're sorry. so just to move it slightly, is harry right it on slightly, is harry right to not going to speak to say he's not going to speak at event even virtually? at this event even virtually? i mean, until william's left the building, i'm very sure that's come from both of them, not just harry. >> i'm absolutely sure it's both of them. but no, it's pathetic. this is not the behaviour of two grown it really annoys >> apparently it really annoys william, sorry, william, the diana staff. sorry, but with the statue. remember the unveiling of the statue a couple years ago? because couple of years ago? because harry, of course, has a 50% claim own mother. claim on his own mother. of course. one thing course. and it's the one thing they really elbow out they can't really elbow him out of. the. but also of. and it drives the. but also mad probably. >> honestly, these seeds >> i think honestly, these seeds were childhood and there

were sown in childhood and there is so there many ways in is so there are so many ways in which was portrayed to be which harry was portrayed to be the naughty and the fun, naughty scamp and william and basically william had. and they basically they up they screwed those children up from and is from the cradle. and it is no surprise they acting surprise that they are acting out now. >> think it's very indicative >> i think it's very indicative of how the royal family has of how low the royal family has fallen, the fallen, especially since the queen falling apart queen died. it's falling apart and me wonder in and it makes me wonder in in a decades time, will we still have a royal family? because these, these are doing their best to mess it all up. >> it there is a there is a sense that things are falling apart. i think just everywhere at the moment aren't there. but hey, we'll do our to best be the glue. now, on that note, remember x factor duo jedward, the singing twin brothers with the singing twin brothers with the world's biggest quiffs? yep, that's them. well, it seems that they're throwing stones in glass houses by lashing out at old music boss mentor louis walsh by calling him an absolute weirdo. amongst other things. it must be said. in a blistering attack now, jedward laid into simon cowell's old irish pal after he slagged them off during his appearance on celebrity big brother, calling the siblings

gb news. all right. welcome back. now i have one more front page for you. okay? so let's do it now . you. okay? so let's do it now. it's the daily mail. shapps back spending 3% on our defence minister calls for cash boost for more dangerous world. it is interesting this. so don't leave britain defenceless is the daily mail campaign. britain defenceless is the daily mail campaign . grant shapps last mail campaign. grant shapps last night threw his weight behind the push to increase military spending to 3% of gdp. bear in mind , in the budget, we didn't mind, in the budget, we didn't have anything, did we, about defence and we've got an

increasingly, you know, fractious world. grant shapps last night threw his weight behind this this this pledge . in behind this this this pledge. in a bold move which put further pressure on rishi sunak, the defence secretary said more cash was to match the threat was needed to match the threat posed by vladimir putin. he says i want a bigger budget . he i want a bigger budget. he travelled to poland. he spoke exclusively to news, the exclusively to gb news, by the way, in poland will be way, in poland we will be showing that on the channel showing you that on the channel tomorrow. he poland tomorrow. he says that poland already spends gdp on already spends 4% of gdp on defence. i think it is reasonable, really, to say that we should be doing a bit more. they've got a comment piece they've also got a comment piece at says kate at the top which says gives kate at the top which says gives kate a readers and a break. mail readers and columnist unite say , columnist spelman unite to say, give kate a break. so there we go. i'm going to focus in my panel now on the story that's on the front of the independent and it's a diane abbott accuses tories labour shocking tories and labour of shocking racism. so she's basically saying racist , mp saying everyone's a racist, mp tells the independent both parties were slow to call out the vile abuse directed at her. diane abbott has hit out and she was in pmqs today. she was not

called to give a question. she i mean stood up. goodness knows how many times 48, 46, 48 so we do know 48 times and six whatever. and wasn't called which i do think, to be honest, was weird. >> yeah, i think it was with i think lindsay hoyle is on the back foot a little bit at the moment, for obvious reasons, and was basically just too afraid to let her. >> think was. >> i think it was. >> i think it was. >> yeah, i think keir starmer got ear again. keir got in his ear again. keir starmer would not have wanted diane to up. diane abbott to stand up. >> think would, would >> oh i think he would, would actually he won labour. actually i think he won labour. i would. i think he would. >> i think i mean obviously >> well i think i mean obviously starmer it but you starmer would deny it but you know. yeah. yeah. well no i think, i think lindsay hoyle is genuinely probably quite traumatised the, the level of traumatised by the, the level of how he screwed up. >> he's to be safer >> and he's trying to be safer and overcorrected. >> oh is interesting >> oh this is interesting because mean, look, by the because i mean, look, by the way, i just say, you know, way, can i just say, you know, yesterday emerged there yesterday it emerged that there is going to be no more, privileges hearing privileges committee hearing into the allegations that keir starmer leant on the speaker over that gaza vote. okay. and

the reasons for that are not because anyone thinks that there isn't a case to answer. it's because they said it's important that what goes on in the speaker's room remains confidential. okay, that's confidential. okay, so that's why not an why there isn't it's not an exoneration for keir starmer. we'll never know. we will never know. cake. yeah we will. >> they will do something over cake. >> but they're not really comparable. the speaker the speaker that. speaker chamber has that. >> different well you >> there's a different well you could argue that actually what allegedly though allegedly happened though over the garford beck was actually much affected much worse because it affected the way. >> but they're just not >> sure. but they're just not comparable. it comparable. yeah. not saying it was cake. >> and one is about caving into marlborough, but is matter marlborough, but one is a matter of record and one is of public record and one is about the secrecy of about retaining the secrecy of the chamber. absolutely and absolutely. but when absolutely. anyway, so but when it comes so, so lindsay hoyle got massive it big time got massive copped it big time over that, big time over it. now you're looking at a situation where think i think it would where i think i think it would have more damaging for the have been more damaging for the conservative diane conservative party had diane abbott spoken about abbott stood up and spoken about a conservative donor, saying that should be that he thinks she should be shot and all black women and all of stuff, and that didn't of that stuff, and that didn't happen. and you have to have it

both ways, you know, do both ways, really, you know, do you our speaker been you think our speaker has been compromised here now? he can't function result of of this? >> yeah, i think so. i think definitely to definitely for many weeks to come, just quivering in come, he'll just be quivering in his won't and that's his boots, won't he? and that's exactly happened. we exactly what's happened. as we said and, but i do think said at and, but i do think actually he'll thinking about actually he'll be thinking about the well, the labour party as well, because she's loose cannon and because she's a loose cannon and he know what would he didn't know what she would say either you're say on either side. but you're probably he's probably probably right. he's probably more he didn't want more worried that he didn't want to conservatives again. >> so apparently to >> so apparently this is to according a transcript, which diane confirmed. she diane abbott has confirmed. she was saying to keir starmer, you could whip back, you could give me the whip back, you could give me the whip back, you could me back. and could give me the whip back. and he saying, no, don't do it. he was saying, no, don't do it. do think will, i don't know. >> i think he should. >> i think he should. >> no, i don't think he should at because i don't at all, because i don't agree with comments. and with her past comments. and i think a loose cannon and a think she's a loose cannon and a party, big that labour party, a big party that labour shouldn't have someone like her, as an mp, but, who knows? with keir starmer if he thinks it could help them, their election chances. could help them, their election chances . of course he will. chances. of course he will. >> yeah. what about your view on

on that. >> no, i don't think he should. i think he's he's gripping on to his reputation for having purged anti—semitism from the party. and if he lets her back in he's setting anti—semitism back. >> he's let another one back today. >> i think she i think what >> i think she is. i think what she was more egregious. and she said was more egregious. and the cut case, she the clear cut case, what she said. there no for. defence said. there is no for. defence >> this is just to kind of >> well, this is just to kind of follow all this. follow up. it's all linked this. so news tonight so the latest news tonight and it front of the eye is it is on the front of the eye is frank hester. this you know donor donated £10.1 million to the tories last year. and it shows apparently that 21% of the tories election funding . is this tories election funding. is this so. i mean they can't get rid of him can they? even if they wanted to. >> no. but also if you start scratching it, who donate to political parties, there's badness so badness on both sides. so neither throw stones neither party can throw stones and just need to accept and they just need to accept that a lot time it comes that a lot of the time it comes from ideal people. but labour from in ideal people. but labour labour's perfect this labour's not perfect on this front so not front either, so they're not going to start. >> labour accept 500,000 >> didn't labour accept 500,000 from chinese

from a communist chinese communist party or something like that? >> no, not from the chinese communist party. no, no, not no no no no i get what you mean. >> there was there was, there were rounds were stories doing the rounds about labours , about what? you know, labours, you or people linked with you know, or people linked with the party. might the labour party. you might have had the communist had a link with the communist party. i do, i do get you mean. >> but but they have not did that get back or not? that get given back or not? >> and think >> well, no. and i think everybody's both everybody's accepting that both parties people parties take money from people they nobody's parties take money from people they them nobody's parties take money from people they them money nobody's parties take money from people they them money back. y's parties take money from people they them money back. that's giving them money back. that's funny frank is funny about frank hester is there's course not there's of course they're not going to give money back. going to give the money back. >> probably already >> they probably already spent it, actually said, it, but they've actually said, and carry taking money and we'll carry on taking money from of course they from him because of course they will, there's of will, because there's 21% of what they earn. >> all do i think >> but they all do this. i think it's kind moral neutral. it's a kind of moral neutral. >> i'm going to round >> now i'm going to just round us off interesting us off with an interesting story, which you know, story, which is, you know, something bit something a little bit different. every different. and we don't every day talk about day on this show talk about metal now metal detecting. now to the scandal hit world of metal detecting, year old detecting, where a 64 year old man for fraud after man was arrested for fraud after planting historic coins in a field pretending to find field and pretending to find them to make look them just to make himself look good.the them just to make himself look good. the rare crusader coins, which could have by the way,

links to the knights templar, would have literally changed the recorded history of western britain if the discovery had been genuine. this is according to archaeologists. suspicions arose when no other coins were found in the area leading to the discovery that a michael jones from port talbot bought them on ebay for £200. the court found that while jones had been dishonest, there was no evidence of his intention to make money from it, leading to him being acquitted, i mean, look, you know, i'll do anything for fame. all right? but, you know, burying historic coins. i just love the fact that this could have changed. changed british history. >> i think the mad thing is that there are rapists walking free. but they had time to put him on trial. like in what? come on, he's a silly girl. he's a silly old girl. >> expecting go >> i wasn't expecting you to go for. you but you make for. but you make. but you make a point. a fair point. >> of all the people who didn't need tried. need to be tried. >> guy's has got >> yeah, the guy's ego has got in way of his morals. what in the way of his morals. what a plonker. be fair , a complete plunkett. >> you know, i'm a bit of sympathy him because he sympathy for him because he actually said, look, first of
