6:12 pm
minds, because all prime ministers all the options ministers keep all the options open the last minute. so open until the last minute. so he's he's thinking, i'm sure, about of different dates he's he's thinking, i'm sure, aborhe's of different dates he's he's thinking, i'm sure, aborhe's (twofferent dates he's he's thinking, i'm sure, aborhe's (twofferent ortes he's he's thinking, i'm sure, aborhe's (two fferent or even and he's in two minds or even more than two minds about when it i personally wrote it should be. i personally wrote an a couple of weeks ago an article a couple of weeks ago in of sunday papers an article a couple of weeks ago in ii sunday papers an article a couple of weeks ago in ii thought day papers an article a couple of weeks ago in ii thought we papers have saying, i thought we should have an general election an early general election because, lots of because, there are lots of problems to be solved. and basically civil is basically the civil service is not working for the government anymore. they're doing anymore. they're not doing anything. imagining anything. they're all imagining there's going to be a starmer government, and they've got their on and also their eyes on that. and also because although things are bad in for the in the polls for the conservatives at the moment, it is possible get better, is possible they'll get better, but just as possible that but it's just as possible that they'll i think they'll get worse. so i think there for case going to the there is a for case going to the country relatively soon, not necessarily may, necessarily on the 2nd of may, because think confuses it because i think that confuses it with elections. but it with the local elections. but it could some time before the could be some time before the summer, and, and we could then have made the have a decision made by the electorate we go. electorate about where we go. yeah. think, you know, yeah. and i think, you know, clinging on the very end, i clinging on to the very end, i think will damage the conservatives i think conservatives because i think people see that being. people will see that as being. well, are you achieving well, what are you achieving dunng well, what are you achieving during period, think
6:13 pm
during this period, and i think trying to achieve results, surely because people surely trying to because people will tories about 14 will say the tories about 14 years, to do whatever it is. >> but actually, surely then your pushback should be or would be. well first of all, you had a coalition, then you've had all of the kind of backlash, if you like, or trying to steady the ship off the back of brexit, then then you've then literally then you've had covid, you've to get covid, then you've tried to get back your feet after covid, back on your feet after covid, then had ukraine war, then you've had the ukraine war, then you've had the ukraine war, then tried to get then you've tried to get yourself back on the feet there, and had the and then you've had the situation israel and gaza. so situation in israel and gaza. so really not a second really there's not been a second of breathing space. >> you could say i should >> yeah, you could say i should do tory pr are you in do the tory party. pr are you in the right job? >> i know, and all of that is very true and very important, i don't about don't think we're talking about the years, though. the last 14 years, though. i think talking what think we're talking about what the prime minister has promised he's do this year. and he's going to do this year. and he's going to do this year. and he's given five pledges. he's given us five pledges. don't exactly all don't ask me exactly what all five are. >> the question you don't >> but the question you don't know your five pledges. >> i know don't go around with >> i know i don't go around with a was a labour thing. >> it's fair enough that he doesn't think it's fair enough
6:14 pm
that he doesn't. it's fair. is it he's. he's because it because he's. he's because he's he's working all day. i he's he's working all day. and i think that you put think the idea that you put someone on the spot show that someone on the spot to show that they've learned mantra and they've learned the mantra and they've learned the mantra and they a good or girl they can be a good boy or girl and them by heart. they can be a good boy or girl and no, hem by heart. they can be a good boy or girl and no, no,| by heart. they can be a good boy or girl and no, no, let heart. they can be a good boy or girl and no, no, let meart. they can be a good boy or girl and no, no, let me be clear. >> no, no, no, let me be clear. i wasn't to put you on i wasn't trying to put you on the and get into the spot and get you into trouble for knowing them, trouble for not knowing them, but the collective but these are the collective five of the nation. but these are the collective five this of the nation. but these are the collective five this is of the nation. but these are the collective five this is whathe nation. but these are the collective five this is what he nation. but these are the collective five this is what he said n. but these are the collective five this is what he said that now, this is what he said that he be judged on. but he wants to be judged on. but they're all things we as they're all things that we as a collective try and want collective should try and want to progress towards. can to make progress towards. can you the five? to make progress towards. can you think the five? to make progress towards. can you thinki the five? to make progress towards. can you think i tiremembered to make progress towards. can you thinki tiremembered the >> i think i just remembered the budget truss did that budget that liz truss did that stuck mortgages up stuck all our mortgages up by record sums. >> we don't talk >> that's what we don't talk about enough. >> this is this >> well, you see, this is this is fascinating to me because if you can't recite, you can't even recite, not recite, some recite, that sounds like some kind thing, which recite, that sounds like some kdon't thing, which recite, that sounds like some kdon't intend thing, which recite, that sounds like some kdon't intend to thing, which recite, that sounds like some kdon't intend to suggest.which i don't intend to suggest. >> but if people even know >> but if people don't even know what five are. so it was, it what the five are. so it was, it was something like cut debt, grow the economy, stop the boats, waiting lists. yeah. waiting the nhs and waiting lists for the nhs and inflation. there you go. >> yeah, we've got them. >> yeah, we've got them. >> yeah, we've got them. >> yeah , we did, but people will judge. >> michelle, sorry to interrupt because it's a danger being because it's a danger of being slightly pro—conservative this
6:15 pm
discussion, they've had discussion, but they've had a long time in office on all these things. and the outside of the westminster bubble. you'll westminster bubble. and you'll be because you're be aware of this because you're out and about. but people are asking, better off asking, do i feel better off after it is a 14 year conservative leadership? yeah, that's . that's the question. >> you say then to >> what would you say then to the points that raised? the points that i just raised? because was, that's because if i was, sunak, that's the would the kind of thing that i would be you've had these be saying you've had these humongous that are humongous global events that are outside the control of any leader, whether it would be starmer or sunak or whoever. >> i think that there is an attempt by the conservatives to get themselves off the hook for example, the nhs has got record waiting lists . it example, the nhs has got record waiting lists. it didn't under laboun waiting lists. it didn't under labour, no mortgages, mortgages , labour, no mortgages, mortgages, mortgages have gone up and ordinary men and women and families are paying loads of more money. >> interest as a result, as it was of what liz truss and kwasi kwarteng did overnight. >> that's real. they impacted on so many lives and they're not going to be allowed off the hook i >> -- >> guy's complete fantasy mortgage interest rates are
6:16 pm
high. they're at the same level as they were under blair, by the way. we had artificially low interest rates from 2008 until recently, and that released inflation. eventually, mortgage rates have gone up in to order bnng rates have gone up in to order bring inflation down. that will be one of the five successes, because we will have brought inflation down even further by the end of the year. almost certainly. that's the one thing you can bank on in the five, of the five pledges. but the cost of that because inflation is a monetary phenomenon, is that you have to have higher interest rates. that's nothing to do with liz truss's budget . that's to do liz truss's budget. that's to do with a strategy for bringing inflation and and we've inflation down. and and we've succeeded in doing that. on the other things, though, it's going to be difficult for the government. i think it's got to pass the rwanda bill. and i think happen probably think that will happen probably in the end of in the course by the end of april. i think the bill will have got royal royal assent, but he needed, by by then he will have needed, by by then he'll the planes he'll need to show the planes taking off and people leaving. and then i think people will be convinced something convinced that something is actually in relation convinced that something is
6:17 pm
ac'thaty in relation convinced that something is ac'that particular in relation convinced that something is ac'that particular problem. ion convinced that something is ac'that particular problem. but, to that particular problem. but, you know, there are there are there is progress on some of the other topics, but not necessarily enough , you see many necessarily enough, you see many people now like john, for example, you know, kevin saying that he wants an a general election pretty much straight away whenever we could . but john away whenever we could. but john saying, but when would we even learn labour's key policies are? >> well, i would say to john that they're they're all out there. i mean, they're so good. our policies. right. daniel's parties nicking them. right. and we were told for years, oh, you can't , you can't clamp down on can't, you can't clamp down on the tax exemptions for non—doms. it's a terrible idea. it will disincentivise business people like myself because, you know, or those from abroad . and now or those from abroad. and now the conservative party stole that policy. whether it's on the nhs, schools, crime, gb energy , nhs, schools, crime, gb energy, the environment, industrial strategy, there are clear missions that have been set out by keir and the manifesto will be costed. so i have totally respect john's desire for more
6:18 pm
detail. but, you know, labour are not, in government at the moment and the government are stealing labour's policies when they get the chance. and i just get the sense, you know , i'm get the sense, you know, i'm trying to be very fair and balanced this. just get balanced in this. and i just get the sense that people the the sense that people think the tories go, well, tories have had their go, well, they go john, apparently those policies they go john, apparently those polyou just need to look >> you just need to look slightly harder . say as slightly harder. you say as well, kevin, the tories, well, kevin, that the tories, for example, shouldn't be let off hook in of off the hook in terms of interest with mortgage. interest rates with mortgage. what think so many people what i think that so many people shouldn't off the shouldn't be let off the hook, quite frankly, their quite frankly, with their ridiculous. disagree, ridiculous. and we disagree, but they're ridiculous panicked response to covid. it was that when call , when you response to covid. it was that when call, when you point when you call, when you point out things like inflation, waiting lists, these mental health crises that everyone seems to have these days , you seems to have these days, you can almost boil so much of it down to the over hysterical reaction to covid. this blanket response to lock everybody down irrespective of their risk level. and many of the politicians would have had us locked down for a much, much longer period than they currently did. and i harder
6:19 pm
lockdown as well. i would say that that is some of the things that that is some of the things that perhaps shouldn't that people perhaps shouldn't forget. look, we forget. anyway. look, when we come break, we'll come back after the break, we'll look groaning. look at him, michelle groaning. i'll a chance i'll give him a chance to respond me. i handle respond to me. i can handle that. can respond to me after that. he can respond to me after the we'll continue the the break. we'll continue the politics also the break. we'll continue the politito also the break. we'll continue the politito talk also the break. we'll continue the politito talk to also the break. we'll continue the politito talk to you also the break. we'll continue the politito talk to you about.o the break. we'll continue the politito talk to you about the want to talk to you about the snp. it's even crazier up snp. it's going even crazier up north, if that is, even to be believed. liz truss i want to talk about as well. so don't talk about her as well. so don't go anywhere and you in go anywhere and i'll see you in two.

there's a real prospect in parts of the country, especially in the south—west and south—east, even where they've got historical there's a real historical roots, there's a real prospect that they will actually win seats at a general election. and that i do find very terrifying because they're a party with political party with no political principle whatsoever, low grade and qualified and poorly qualified politicians. and the idea that they're going to be sitting there in large numbers in the house of commons, is very worrying. and they might even i can't predict the result of a general election. they might even possibly hold the balance of power. not on the present polls. i have to admit, but who knows what those how those polls will translate on election day. none of us forecast that. none of us can forecast that. and i think it's absolutely terrifying. we've had experience of before , and i'd worry of them before, and i'd worry about it a great deal if i were especially if i were living in that part of the country. i wouldn't want a liberal democrat representing kevin. wouldn't want a liberal democrat rep well, ing kevin. wouldn't want a liberal democrat rep well, the kevin. wouldn't want a liberal democrat rep well, the answer in. wouldn't want a liberal democrat rep well, the answer to the >> well, the answer to the question is they are very relevant. they they are going to win seats at the general election , probably most of them
6:25 pm
election, probably most of them from the conservative party, and they are still a very significant force at local government across the country. and they do deserve, like all the parties, to be the major parties, to be respected and taken seriously. >> well, labour, as i've just said, their spring conference commenced about five commenced, is in about five minutes time. case you're minutes time. in case you're wondering , what shall i do with wondering, what shall i do with my weekend friday night? yeah, you yourself on that you can focus yourself on that stuff. not until dewbs& co stuff. not until after dewbs& co has there, of course. has finished there, of course. anyway let's talk hit anyway look, let's talk hit monsters. i could be describing anyone. but anyone. really? couldn't i? but i'm i'm describing i'm not. i'm describing a specific advert. and watch. >> might know this. hang >> you might know this. hang here. it's the hate monster. when you're feeling insecure, when you feel angry, he'll be there feeding off the emotions , there feeding off the emotions, getting bigger and bigger. till he's weighing you down. he'll make you want to have a go at somebody , a neighbour, somebody somebody, a neighbour, somebody on the street on a night out. security guy on the door. somebody in the chippy. your taxi driver. you make you want
6:26 pm
to vent your anger just because folk look or act different for you.the folk look or act different for you. the hate monster wants you to feel that you need to show you're better than them . then you're better than them. then before you know you've committed a hate crime , doesn't it make a hate crime, doesn't it make you feel better though? does it ? you feel better though? does it? maybe for a minute. but then you just feel worse, don't you ? just feel worse, don't you? because the hate just hangs about like a bad smell . but it about like a bad smell. but it doesn't need to be like this. you're better than that, and you know it. you've got all this energy. so there's something positive where the hate monster doesn't like that. in fact , he doesn't like that. in fact, he hates it. go on, be good to yourself. don't feed the hate monster . monster. >> obviously, i'm desperately trying my best now not to do my fantastic accent impression. i don't think you can do that in this day and age. if i did, i'd probably find myself in trouble because these are new laws which commence, from because these are new laws which commeof e, from because these are new laws which commeof april from because these are new laws which commeof april in from because these are new laws which commeof april in scotland, from the 1st of april in scotland,
6:27 pm
it's hate crime law, to be it's the hate crime law, to be precise. and there's a lot of criticism . i mean, that advert criticism. i mean, that advert on its own, by the way, says scotland police, police scotland , they wrote on their website that was men aged 18 to 30 that it was men aged 18 to 30 from socially excluded communities with ideas about white male entitlement that are particularly likely to be perpetrators of hate crime. i can tell you now, many people have reacted in not a pleasant way that, but these new hate way to that, but these new hate crime laws, so many people now are saying it's just it's are saying that it's just it's all gone too far. the police have that going to have said that they're going to respond. going to look respond. they're going to look at all every single one of these that's reported, which has created in itself created a backlash in itself because police for level because the police for low level crimes really doing as crimes are not really doing as much as they ought to be, perhaps scotland. where perhaps in scotland. but where are of this? are you on all of this? >> well, the biggest hate >> well, i'm the biggest hate crimes at the moment. of course, the most obvious ones are the outbreak anti—semitism we're outbreak of anti—semitism we're seeing country. and there seeing in the country. and there hasn't because hasn't mentioned at all because the left decided that they the left have decided that they want the whole hate want to focus the whole hate crime agenda on the white working classes and on their
6:28 pm
views. and the police scotland are quite explicit about that . are quite explicit about that. if you're poor, if you're white, if you're male, they're coming for for hate crime. and for you for a hate crime. and all means very often is all it means very often is you're expressing your views that are quite normal in your community and that many people would share . i'm deeply worried would share. i'm deeply worried about the whole notion of hate crime. it's a new idea . it crime. it's a new idea. it obviously involves censorship. and there are occasions, i grant when censorship might be appropriate in very extreme cases, censorship might be appropriate, but there's a very delicate balance to get there , delicate balance to get there, to get right there. and it's been pushed all the wrong way. and people are now being shut up and visited by the police and threatened by the police because of things that they've said. and who knows? you know, next it'll be the things that you've thought or written down and so on.and thought or written down and so on. and private communications in families. they'll coming in families. they'll be coming for those as well. and this is a very, very clear left wing
6:29 pm
agenda to make war on ordinary people . and that's what they're people. and that's what they're trying to do. and no mention, of course, of hate crime from the left, the anti—semitism we're seeing any of that sort, that's all being wiped out of it. the threat , they're trying to say is threat, they're trying to say is always going to come from the right . and by the right they right. and by the right they mean the poor, the working mean poor, the poor, the working class, the male, the whites. kevin i, i, i mean, this story is about something that's been donein is about something that's been done in scotland. i don't think that the ad itself is a particularly effective piece of communication. the ad was a six rubbish. yeah it was a six week, onune rubbish. yeah it was a six week, online ad that ran in spring 2023. and it's not as such , 2023. and it's not as such, unked 2023. and it's not as such, linked to the legislation. i don't think it's very effective . don't think it's very effective. i think a lot of the people who would be committing hate crimes are not going to look at that ad and go, oh, i'm going to change and go, oh, i'm going to change and turn into a nicer person. so i don't think it's effective. and you know, daniel and then, you know, daniel is characterising, there . he's
6:30 pm
characterising, there. he's talking about the left this the left that i mean, you know, i just don't agree with a lot of that. there's a of people on that. there's a lot of people on the left in the labour party who are concerned about are deeply concerned about increases anti—semitism, increases in anti—semitism, have been record about been very on the record about it. character i don't it. it's a character i don't know who daniel thinks has got a war on the white working class. but hang on, daniel, just but let me hang on, daniel, just to and i'll shut up. i to say, and then i'll shut up. i don't know who you think has got a the white working class don't know who you think has got abut the white working class don't know who you think has got abut i the white working class don't know who you think has got abut i came white working class don't know who you think has got abut i can tellhite working class don't know who you think has got abut i can tell you working class don't know who you think has got abut i can tell you someone lass don't know who you think has got abut i can tell you someone who , but i can tell you someone who came from that background, it's not don't not the labour party, so i don't know has. know who who has. >> well, the leadership of know who who has. >> snp. the leadership of know who who has. >> snp. isn't he leadership of know who who has. >> snp. isn't it, leadership of know who who has. >> snp. isn't it, who ership of know who who has. >> snp. isn't it, who areiip of know who who has. >> snp. isn't it, who are doing the snp. isn't it, who are doing this. they yourself. this. they just said yourself. it's it's the it's in scotland, it's the scottish government, it's led by the made reference to the snp. i made no reference to the snp. i made no reference to the labour party. >> i you said >> yeah, but i think you said the left the the left and the left. >> the left. these people >> yeah. the left. these people are the are extreme leftists. the snp government in scotland, snp green coalition in scotland is an extreme left an example of an extreme left wing government. even in wales. mark , a recognised mark drakeford, a recognised corbynista, has been running a government for some years. he's standing down now, running a government for some years, which is well to the left of where
6:31 pm
keir starmer would be, which is why he's not actually welcome in keir starmer's councils and leadership office. i find this, what's going on in scotland. >> these new laws, particularly are concerning because for me, nobody really has got a right not to be offended. i mean, i wouldn't deliberately go out and try and upset someone or hurt somebody or whatever, but life, thatis somebody or whatever, but life, that is life you are allowed to dislike somebody. you are allowed to dislike something. i mean, heaven forbid that's mean, heaven forbid if that's even allowed to hit something. it's not a criminal offence. and this whole notion that actually, if you or if someone perceives that you have acted in a way that's hurtful or whatever hateful , you could then be hateful, you could then be criminalised. they've popped up all of these kind of report ing places now. so one of them that's been in the news a lot is a sex shop where people can go in, you can anonymously lock this this can this hair crime. now, this can all and all the rest all be logged and all the rest of it, it could be someone of it, it could just be someone with a grievance against you. some of this stuff, the way, with a grievance against you. some evenis stuff, the way,
6:32 pm
with a grievance against you. some evenis ssaying the way, with a grievance against you. some evenis ssaying inie way, with a grievance against you. some evenis ssaying in youry, could even be saying in your own home. but mean, home. yeah, but but i mean, isn't it always the case that people with grievances against you try twist you could always try and twist the abuse it to the law and abuse, abuse it to try get it a person? try and get it a person? >> i mean isn't isn't the >> but i mean isn't isn't the background to a lot of the legislation crimes background to a lot of the legisleust crimes background to a lot of the legisleust trying crimes background to a lot of the legisleust trying to crimes background to a lot of the legisleust trying to makeimes background to a lot of the legisleust trying to make people about just trying to make people feel isn't feel safer? isn't that isn't that like a good thing to, to seek, you know, to and seek, you know, to try and minimise violence against women, racism, homophobia , racism, you know, homophobia, crime. isn't that a good thing? >> of course. and i want people like i particularly don't like, i don't like awful bullying. i don't nasty bullying. and don't like nasty bullying. and i like, you know, got like, you know, i've got a little and i see the way little boy and i see the way children interact with each other, if a child is other, and i see if a child is being unkind to each other. i don't like of that. but at don't like any of that. but at the always the same time, life isn't always a i know people a bed of roses. i know people are to have negative are allowed to have negative feelings towards things and others without others or whatever without necessarily ending up with a criminal record, because of it. what do you guys make to it at home? before i move off politics, i do just want to mention another story we just covered in those headlines there. liz truss. she was very passionate about bill. she
6:33 pm
passionate about a bill. she wanted to be debated in parliament didn't get round to short, they didn't get round to it in essence, it was about trying make sex, respond , trying to make sex, respond, refer to biological sex. where are you on her bill? yeah, i think it's completely right. >> i think it's completely right. and the bill should be taken up by the government and passed. and think would passed. and i think pete would do conservatives lot of do the conservatives a lot of good, that's what most good, because that's what most people fact is that people think. the fact is that biological a a fact . biological sex is a is a fact. it's a scientific fact. whereas genderis it's a scientific fact. whereas gender is an ideology. it's something that's been invented in the last 50 years or so, and it's grown and the idea you can choose your gender is just a lie. it isn't true, biological sex is a discernible fact, and with lots of scientific evidence for it. >> where are you on liz truss's thoughts? >> well, i mean, i, i think there's a lot of consensus around biological sex and those sorts of issues. but liz truss, i'm afraid, you know, she's just trying desperately to be relevant. and legislation doesn't get through parliament
6:34 pm
all the time. private member's bills, etcetera . but she she is bills, etcetera. but she she is trying not to talk about her record in office and her playbook. just, just be a bit of context. she's just been to america , which was a really america, which was a really controversial visit, and she is trying to reinvent herself after being virtual about her visit to america. okay. well at one point she was in the audience and, heard somebody called a hero who's actually, a far right politician and said nothing about it. >> right. i know exactly what you're referring to. you're referring to. yeah, it did happen. you're referring to someone else who described . and someone else who described. and i it was tommy robinson as i think it was tommy robinson as a everyone else a hero. and then everyone else started saying that liz a hero. and then everyone else starte should saying that liz a hero. and then everyone else starteshould have ing that liz a hero. and then everyone else starte should have intervened a hero. and then everyone else starteshould have intervened . truss should have intervened. and i thought, what a load of nonsense. who is liz truss to intervene in someone else's thought process about who that person as an individual is regarding as a hero ? and i think regarding as a hero? and i think the context, if i remember rightly and correct me if i'm wrong, what person was wrong, what the person was saying that tommy robinson saying was that tommy robinson was for the that
6:35 pm
was a hero for the work that he'd done to expose he'd done in trying to expose the gangs . the grooming gangs. >> i think there's a different reading whole event, reading of that whole event, which is that she a former which is that she is a former prime minister of our country, gave endorsement to gave tacit endorsement to comments lot comments and speeches that a lot of people vehemently disagree with, and maybe others agree with, and maybe others agree with them . but i'm just saying, with them. but i'm just saying, you know, that context , she you know, that that context, she for many people, she is a failed prime minister trying to find a way of being relevant. >> yeah. do you know what i can tell you now? >> there'll be lots of people, perhaps primarily women, biological actually think perhaps primarily women, biol(this l actually think perhaps primarily women, biol(this whole actually think perhaps primarily women, biol(this whole notionially think perhaps primarily women, biol(this whole notion ofy think that this whole notion of defining biological sex as being really clear and key when it comes to single—sex spaces in particular for women and women's safety, are absolutely key. and they're very angry and upset today. actually, that that didn't get the discussion time that it needed. fingers that it needed. and fingers crossed that it perhaps will in the very near future, because it is a critical, issue for so many people. your thoughts gbviews@gbnews.com on all of what we've been discussing tonight are very welcome. i'll
6:36 pm
bnng tonight are very welcome. i'll bring you into the conversation after the break. let me ask you this. have you got a parking fine recently? of them fine recently? 35,000 of them issued private companies issued by private companies every single day. what is going on? i'll see you in two.
6:37 pm
6:38 pm
6:39 pm
>> that's a fair point. >> that's a fair point. >> hi there. i'm michelle dewberry keeping you company till 7:00, the tory peer in the house of lords, daniel moylan. and the business owner, political commentator and former labour councillor, kevin craig, lisa says kevin didn't answer your question. he dodged it by having a rant about liz truss. what question did i ask? >> no, i have no idea. ijust don't i want to stop thinking about liz truss, about her genden >> said gender bill, >> you said her gender bill, whatever called, was whatever it's called, was relevant. admitted it was relevant. you admitted it was relevant, kevin, but then you didn't on say why you didn't go on to say why you didn't go on to say why you didn't it. didn't support it. >> i didn't i didn't >> i didn't say i didn't support. i just think that i wanted to witter on about. no, i said no, i didn't hang on, hang
6:40 pm
on. i said this back to the issue, which is about women's women's and the question women's safety and the question of gender. of sex and gender. >> what people to hean >> there's of consensus >> there's loads of consensus around daniel. around those issues, daniel. some, like liz some, some people, like liz truss, want whip up. no, truss, want to whip up. no, because wants to try because she wants to try and project it as issue project and use it as an issue to relevant. again, this is a to be relevant. again, this is a disastrous prime minister. >> response is >> typical leftist response is to there isn't to say there isn't a disagreement about this. there isn't a culture war. it's all being manufactured by the tories or by the right. but there are real differences on this and they're physically built differences. you can see them, you go into a building and you have the toilets are arranged like this. >> well, they're in a room. i find it funny. i find it is that is that something that you want to see continue? >> that's the question. >> that's the question. >> well, i'm interested in listening to what women say. not my opinion. i'm listening to what say on the subject. what women say on the subject. that's i'll listen. that's what i'll listen. >> can't supply >> obviously, i can't supply that. maybe michelle can. >> i think people >> well, yeah, i think people viewers can. >> i think the people should actually more time actually spend more time listening and listening to actual women and what think, opposed to
6:41 pm
what they think, as opposed to listening who just wake listening to men, who just wake up one day and think that they're woman and they're somehow a woman and therefore regarded as therefore should be regarded as one, you go, andy, says one, there you go, andy, says michelle, you're talking about hate everyone. hate crime, if i hear everyone. is all right ? hate crime, if i hear everyone. is all right? because is that all right? because surely inclusive and surely i'm being inclusive and not diverse. i don't actually think it works like that, andy. i've got to be honest with you there, liz. sort of. liz truss is furious that labour have blocked her debates. yes, but i've got to say, many people will say it wasn't just labour, because of course, there was a lot of talk about ferrets and things like that, in the run up and beyond, liz truss was a real tory, but it was the work lot that pulled her out, says daryl, gladys says, please, can everyone stop blaming liz for mortgage rate rises? it was the banks that were to blame for not raising them earlier on. and she says liz basically became a scapegoat. oh lord, steve says there's chickens that you had earlier on. they look like the labour front bench. that's not very nice, is it, labour front bench. that's not very nice, is it , john says very nice, is it, john says sunak has achieved absolutely
6:42 pm
nothing. he wasn't even elected . nothing. he wasn't even elected. please, can you get him out? there you go. let's talk parking fines, private parking firms apparently are issuing over 35,000 parking tickets to drivers every single day. it absolutely blew my mind. that figure, where are you on this, kevin? >> well , i kevin? >> well, i think it's a really good story that's been highlighted that you've picked tonight, because i think essentially this comes down to is that there was a new code of practice, the parking code of practice act, it it made its way onto the statute book in parliament, you know, a number of years ago. and it hasn't come into law. and i think this, you know, when we're talking about how people feel about issues, i think loads people feel think loads of people feel really powerless and ordered around with the whole parking ticket , seen how the, the rights ticket, seen how the, the rights that you don't have to appeal, how there's no compassion in the system. it feels like you're just being rinsed . so i think
6:43 pm
just being rinsed. so i think the rac is right to say that drivers feel badly let down. and the government, with the support of all parties , should get on of all parties, should get on and implement this of and implement this code of practice , which will reduce and practice, which will reduce and which will bring in a cap on tickets , because i think that tickets, because i think that some parking companies are making excessive profits off the back of drivers and dvla . back of drivers and dvla. >> by the way, they're making a pretty penny as well by selling our dates out to such companies, lord moylan, where are you? well i think it would be clear there's a difference here between parking on street and getting a fine and parking on private land. >> i think this is more >> and i think this is more about parking on private land, because on the because if you park on the street get a parking street and you get a parking ticket, may indeed be given ticket, it may indeed be given to by private but to you by a private company, but they the fines. they they don't set the fines. they act as agents for the local authorities and the local authorities and the local authorities set the fines through democratic and through democratic processes and in like london, they set in places like london, they set them collectively. so it's the same across london. it's all agreed the amongst the agreed amongst the amongst the local authorities , so and those local authorities, so and those people do not make a profit
6:44 pm
from, from the fines. they get paid. those companies get paid for, for offering for, for providing that service and having those people out on the street. there's a big difference. if you park on private land, you park on private land, you park on private land. you can get really confusing signs, you can get clamped . and oh, and by the way, clamped. and oh, and by the way, if you park on the street, you do have an appeal and there is an appeal system and it's easily accessible , you don't need accessible, you don't need lawyers or anything like that. if you want go and appeal. if you want to go and appeal. but people private but these people on private land, appeal. there's land, there's no appeal. there's no control over what they charge . there's no clarity about signs. signs have to be on the street, have to be absolutely word perfect and spot on. yet you get the sign wrong. and all the appeals will succeed if you're a local authority. but that's not true if you're on private land. and i think this is more to do with private land. but i agree with you. the government should get on bring but i agree with you. the gov code ant should get on bring but i agree with you. the gov code in. should get on bring but i agree with you. the gov code in. ihould get on bring but i agree with you. the gov code in. i don't get on bring but i agree with you. the gov code in. i don't known bring but i agree with you. the gov code in. i don't know whatg the code in. i don't know what this legal challenge consisted
6:45 pm
of operators , of that the parking operators, but, but you can get but, brought. but if you can get around a legal challenge by having amending the act of parliament to address it, you could get that through in five minutes. i'd of thought , well, i minutes. i'd of thought, well, i gun you guys at home will be shouting, were you or why are they doing then? they not doing that then? >> that is a key question >> and that is a key question isn't all just isn't it? i think we've all just learnt segment that learnt from that segment that we're the wrong we're all in the wrong job, quite frankly, and we all need to a private parking firm to set up a private parking firm and some private land that and get some private land that we people park on, and we can let people park on, and then and then zap them. >> indeed. indeed steve says michelle, country michelle, if the whole country was and decided not to was like you and decided not to vote, would happen in the vote, what would happen in the country? i've never told anyone. by country? i've never told anyone. by the way, this off the back by the way, this is off the back of conversation. we had of the conversation. we had the other i've never other day. i've never told anybody vote. it's none anybody not to vote. it's none of my business if you vote, if you vote, i hope that you you want a vote, i hope that you do. if you don't, i think do. and if you don't, i think that's too. just think do. and if you don't, i think that'politicians just think do. and if you don't, i think that'politicians needt think do. and if you don't, i think that'politicians need t01ink do. and if you don't, i think that'politicians need to work that politicians need to work harder people to harder to engage people more, to make as many people, make sure that as many people, are politically as engaged make sure that as many people, are ppossibly' as engaged make sure that as many people, are ppossibly can engaged make sure that as many people, are ppossibly can be.3ged they possibly can be. >> and i feel that right now, the brexit party, when you were a well, got say, i ran
