the national living wage, because i've increased that to £11.44, they will see if they're working full time. their income go working full time. their income 9° up working full time. their income 90 ”p by working full time. their income go up by £1,800. >> however, the labour party chair, anneliese dodds, says tax rises are to blame and she's promised a labour government will bring change. >> there's a big difference, camilla, between what labour is setting out, especially on taxation and what we're seeing under the conservatives. we've seen taxes going up 25 times under the conservatives our instinct is always to make sure that working people are not paying that working people are not paying the price for government mistakes. that's what's happened , i'm afraid, under the conservatives. so of course , our conservatives. so of course, our approach would always be to try and reduce that impact on working people. we've seen the opposite, i'm afraid, under recent conservative governments, chilling levels of harassment are posing a serious threat to schools. >> that's according to an independent government adviser. a review led by dame saira khan

mortgage, if you're paying childcare, what looks like a very high salary doesn't go as far as you might think it would. and but, you know , that's under and but, you know, that's under 40 years of tory rule, isn't it? >> i mean, 100 grand is, what, four times more or less the average salary in this country. so that's a hell of a lot of money to earn, isn't it? why are people on 100 grand feeling that they don't have enough money under a conservative government? >> because we've >> the reason is because we've been a very difficult been through a very difficult period. pandemic , period. we've had a pandemic, we've had an energy crisis. and by it's not just people by the way, it's not just people on salary, it's people on on that salary, it's people on all salaries . interesting? the all salaries. interesting? the chancellor was also asked about his future tax and spend plans, and he confirmed that he wants to abolish national insurance completely. >> but yes, i would like to bnng >> but yes, i would like to bring the absolute levels of tax down. absolutely. and i started on that path to scrap ni completely . i would like completely. i would like employees. >> when can you imagine being able do that if you offered able to do that if you offered that, for instance, a fiscal that, for instance, in a fiscal event before the election, which

was obviously be good electioneering , when would that electioneering, when would that feasibly be to place ? feasibly be able to take place? >> well, i can't responsibly promise a date because it depends on all sorts of things, including, you know, what putin doesin including, you know, what putin does in ukraine and international energy prices . but international energy prices. but what i can say is that for two fiscal events in a row, for the autumn statement and the budget, ihave autumn statement and the budget, i have been able to make a significant cut in personal taxation without increasing borrowing, without without risking our public services and a conservative government will go further because we've shown we can do it and we'll continue on that journey . interesting. on that journey. interesting. joining me now is political commentator peter spence to analyse what mr hunter said this morning. hello, peter. thank you for joining us on this lovely sunday afternoon. now my pleasure . let's, let's let's pleasure. let's, let's let's start with the £100,000 not being a lot of money really, is it. what do you make of that. the fact that it's down

the fact that it's doubled down on it . on it. >> well i mean i to quote you, dawn . dawn. >> yeah. sorry, i've copyrighted that now, by the way. i'll be using it a lot, i suspect. coming up fine. >> mean, the fact is that it >> i mean, the fact is that it is 100 grand. okay? he represents a posh part of the country, and i dare say, house pnces country, and i dare say, house prices are pretty stonkingly high in his neck of the woods. but the fact is that 100 grand is still above four times what you'd be expecting on the minimum wage, and therefore to expect it to play very well with the punters is a very debateable a concept . i the punters is a very debateable a concept. i mean, the punters is a very debateable a concept . i mean, jeremy the punters is a very debateable a concept. i mean, jeremy hunt has a knack of looking like a rabbit caught in the headlights at the best of times. he just when he was answering that question, he just looked that little frozen, didn't little bit more frozen, didn't he just i mean, it was great he just i mean, it was a great i mean, camilla was great with him today. >> i thought she she, you know, did a really good interview about the people with about the most people do with jeremy people fall jeremy hunt. most people fall asleep, with you,

asleep, to be honest with you, but is it just i mean, how but is it is it just i mean, how is to play with the is this going to play with the with red wall voters? with the red wall voters? i mean, you know, know, the mean, you know, you know, in the north, ones that got north, they're the ones that got the power in on the tories into power in 2019 on the tories into power in 2019 on the promise. and they're the brexit promise. and they're going to be going on what's the average salary in this country? i £30,000 i mean, just over £30,000 a yeah i mean, just over £30,000 a year. they be going, hold on i mean, just over £30,000 a yeminutey be going, hold on i mean, just over £30,000 a yeminute . be going, hold on i mean, just over £30,000 a yeminute . you're going, hold on i mean, just over £30,000 a yeminute . you're struggling d on i mean, just over £30,000 a yeminute . you're struggling on n a minute. you're struggling on £100,000. about in a minute. you're struggling on £10�*real0. about in a minute. you're struggling on £10�*real world? about in a minute. you're struggling on £10�*real world? are out in a minute. you're struggling on £10�*real world? are our in the real world? are our politicians completely out of touch with what ordinary people are thinking and feeling? >> mean, that's >> well, i mean, that's certainly what they would say, and it is worth bearing in mind that there was a yougov poll earlier in the week which suggested that reform uk is actually up north in that neck of the woods, is actually in front of the tories. now, of course, it happens that they're their power base is too evenly spread. so or they while they probably wouldn't get very many mps when the tories get obliterated, maybe what they will be doing is opening the door wide for the labour party. >> yeah. and the labour party. i mean, the other thing we've come

to is the pensions triple lock, which which the tories seem to put at so much stay on. i mean is that going to win over voters, peter. are people going to be i mean, we know that older people tend to vote conservative. the youngsters, they're interested they're not interested whatsoever in the tories. so is that a vote winner that going to be a vote winner though mean, triple lock though? i mean, the triple lock is he's confirmed is staying. he's confirmed that's the that's going to be the conservative manifesto. is that going voters going to win the older voters over ? over? >> well, i heard one tory mp saying in the week that all we can do now is to march towards the end of the towards the sound of the gunfire. i mean, i don't think it's a question at this stage of winning over votes. it's simply a matter of hanging on to them and persuading them with something little short of a pointed stick to go out and jolly well vote. and of course, they have the older vote, and they do have the older vote, and they do have the older vote, and they determined on to it they determined to hang on to it because. because what they do not want is to be utterly obliterated at the general election. and already the bloodbath is effectively

underway. the fight for the soul of the conservative party. with that reform tendency, fabulous ammunition for those on the right wing of the to party take the party somewhere completely different. the only question that really remains is whether they're going to get the daggers out before or after the election. this is the thing, isn't it, peter? >> it's another sunday, another day of bad news for rishi sunak. we only need a couple of more letters and the pm will be gone, said story these are said one story today. these are the former cabinet the words of former cabinet minister clarke in recent minister simon clarke in recent days, disenchanted days, as he urged disenchanted tory mps to submit letters of no confidence the prime confidence in the prime minister. do we need another prime minister? will it make any difference? >> how can i put this now? i mean, it wouldn't so much be voted out of office as laughed out of office. i think if they had yet another prime minister, yet another leader who, by the way, would be unelected, i mean , way, would be unelected, i mean, there's all sorts of talk of various people, the penny

mordaunt, whatever , of taking mordaunt, whatever, of taking oven mordaunt, whatever, of taking over, but that's sort of a parallel universe. wouldn't it be nice? you know, i mean, what i say is i'm with the chancellor . i say, wouldn't it be nice if i say is i'm with the chancellor . i sgotwouldn't it be nice if i say is i'm with the chancellor . i sgot free dn't it be nice if i say is i'm with the chancellor . i sgot free beert be nice if i say is i'm with the chancellor . i sgot free beer for; nice if i say is i'm with the chancellor . i sgot free beer for allce if i say is i'm with the chancellor . i sgot free beer for all the you got free beer for all the workers? but know, dream on, workers? but you know, dream on, guys, happening. workers? but you know, dream on, guyyeah happening. workers? but you know, dream on, guyyeah . happening. workers? but you know, dream on, guyyeah . freeiappening. workers? but you know, dream on, guyyeah . free beerning. workers? but you know, dream on, guyyeah . free beer and. workers? but you know, dream on, guyyeah . free beer and that >> yeah. free beer and that £100,000, which isn't a lot of money. so i'll accept that. thanks very much, mr hunt, peter spencen thanks very much, mr hunt, peter spencer, much for spencer, thank you very much for joining afternoon. joining us this afternoon. right. what my right. okay. let's see what my panel make of this one. i'm joined by gb news presenter albie m o'connor and broadcaster and clare muldoon , and journalist clare muldoon, who is scottish, by the way, which should be interesting coming up to the football thing later. anyway, cross that later. anyway, we'll cross that bndge later. anyway, we'll cross that bridge to it, coming bridge when we get to it, coming to first. clare, what you to you first. clare, what do you make heard from mr make of what you heard from mr hunt morning? i've got two hunt this morning? i've got two questions for the chancellor of the true. just the exchequer. that's true. just two. one. does he wish he had a different surname? could different surname? and could you change it ? secondly, change it? and secondly, secondly, importantly, change it? and secondly, sthinkly, importantly, change it? and secondly, sthink his importantly, change it? and secondly, sthink his statement portantly, change it? and secondly, sthink his statement is rtantly, i think his statement is completely and utterly tone deaf . there are what the top 5% of earners in this country ,

earners in this country, actually 3% of people who earn, who earn over £100,000, you know, and we've got , you know, know, and we've got, you know, people are desperately trying to survive in this country. >> we have got jobs that need to be filled. >> we've got a benefit system that's broken. we've got people who politically homeless, who are politically homeless, and we might have someone homeless 10. he might homeless in number 10. he might be getting evicted, so the place is a mess. and i think for is in a mess. and i think for someone of his stature in the government to make a statement like that, i actually think it's quite abhorrent. and then he doubled down on it . quite abhorrent. and then he doubled down on it. he said that earlier in the week and said it again this morning. >> well, was right to >> well, he was he was right to double down it because double down on it because actually you listen to actually if you listen to what he , other than saying he said, other than just saying that of that £100,000 isn't a lot of money where he comes from, he actually to explain why actually goes on to explain why he that point, made he made that point, and he made the because housing in his the point because housing in his constituency , i think the constituency, i think the average price something average house price is something like £670,000. if you're paying a mortgage on that, if you're also paying for childcare, if you're then also paying for your

family's life, perhaps you have a stay at home mum and there's only one person working that where is from in surrey and where he is from in surrey and his constituency , £100,000 his constituency, £100,000 doesn't go far, and i think a lot of his constituents would echo that sentiment. and it was in fact , one of his constituents in fact, one of his constituents that told him that of the that told him that one of the swans and clare, let me finish. and if he wants to win his seat, which is going to be a marginal seat between him and the liberal democrats at the next election, he needs to be representing his constituents interests. and that's this that's what he was doing this morning. as camilla pointed morning. but as camilla pointed out, though, clare, i it's out, though, clare, i mean, it's like tories been like it's the tories have been in power. like it's the tories have been in jwear. like it's the tories have been in [we haven't built enough >> we haven't built enough houses. housing houses. that's why housing pnces houses. that's why housing prices high, you know, prices are so high, you know, childcare through childcare costs are through the roof. really, genuinely roof. you really, genuinely probably build probably can't afford to build £100,000 whose £100,000 a year. and. but whose fault that ? well, you know, fault is that? well, you know, it's market it's it's the market forces, it's supply demand because one supply and demand because one councillor in spelthorne, which supply and demand because one coa1cillor in spelthorne, which supply and demand because one coa constituency lthorne, which supply and demand because one coa constituency council which is a constituency council constituency within surrey, the average age the average salary is £44,000. right. so it's not across the board. and if average house prices in surrey are

600,000, then that's a lot less than they are in london. and that's why we've got a rental problem in london. as well. so who's blame? no one is to blame. we've got zero hour contracts, which i think build a huge burden onto salaries, onto the ability to work. and as i said, the broken benefit system completely and utterly wrong. we're supposed to be enabling people to work. we need to get people to work. we need to get people into work. it's a great thing for working parents to show due diligence, to show , show due diligence, to show, discipline to their children and reward financial reward as well for going out to work. people's mental health will become better. you know, the nation will be will be getting better. get back to work, help people get into work . and if mothers get into work. and if mothers want to stay at home or fathers want to stay at home or fathers want to stay at home or fathers want to stay at home, then that should be legitimate, a role should be a legitimate, a role in society as well, and ought to be paid for through tax breaks. well, exactly. very very good points there. talking to the

other end of the age spectrum , other end of the age spectrum, which i know you're not, by the way, the triple lock on pensions, that's going to be tory manifesto that is going to stay . now, what do you make of stay. now, what do you make of that? that a good thing? will that? is that a good thing? will that? is that a good thing? will that over? yes. that win the voters over? yes. >> committed >> look, he's committed to the triple pensions. don't triple lock on pensions. i don't think particularly think anyone is particularly surprised that. i think now surprised at that. i think now both party the both the labour party and the conservative party have committed the lock committed to the triple lock on pensions, hoping to pensions, and they're hoping to win what they call the grey or the vote. so i'm sure the silver vote. so i'm sure for, for the pensioner for, for, for the pensioner portion society that goes out portion of society that goes out and votes. >> sorry to interrupt. anneliese dodds morning was a bit dodds this morning was a bit shaky they were shaky on whether they were committed to it or not. >> very surprised if >> i'd be very surprised if labour not commit the labour did not commit to the triple pensions, because triple lock on pensions, because ultimately, what neither party wants in election year is wants to do in election year is be the one that says we're not going to it because going to commit to it because then causes a huge political then it causes a huge political problem with them. for whatever reason , we seem to wedded to reason, we seem to be wedded to the on pensions in the triple lock on pensions in this and the party that this country. and the party that says not stick says they're not going to stick to won't win the to it probably won't win the next to it probably won't win the nexsounds like you don't think >> sounds like you don't think it's a good idea. >> i don't think it's a good it's a good idea. >> i'vedon't think it's a good it's a good idea. >> i've said think it's a good it's a good idea. >> i've said thatk it's a good it's a good idea. >> i've said that manya good it's a good idea. >> i've said that many times idea. i've said that many times

and we hear that she wanted to she wanted personally to break the news to the nation because she knew we'd all be, you know, horrified by it. >> as i'm sure she said, the huge shock they felt , no, i'm huge shock they felt, no, i'm not surprised because she is the most popular member of the royal family has been quite family and has been for quite some really is the some time. she really is the jewel in the crown, so i think also quite a lot of people are feeling guilty that , they feeling guilty that, they entertained the rumours that were on social media by, disgusting trolls . disgusting trolls. >> and, so i think there's quite a lot of eating humble pie as well today. >> now, jennie, i mean, you mentioned the people that were falling down a lot. we are human. okay. i must admit, you know, even i was going, oh my god, really? how can you think that? and going down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories. but there a lot people that, there are a lot of people that, you people george you know, people like george galloway, for example, an elected coming out elected politician coming out with some frankly bonkers theories . and do you think these

theories. and do you think these people now should be apologised ? people now should be apologised? >> yes, i do, because i think that those rumours, some of them did get to catherine and how how painful it must have been when she was also already under incredible stress, to hear, i mean, really vicious and malicious rumours online. >> but anyway, that's over now , >> but anyway, that's over now, and i hope we've all learned a lesson that we don't go down those rabbit holes. and certainly mainstream media certainly the mainstream media and journalists like and serious journalists like you and serious journalists like you and me, should not and like me, should not entertain those rumours entertain giving those rumours the oxygen of publicity. >> i think that lesson probably has been learned, and as a result, we have this outpouring of affection . and they are now of affection. and they are now up at anmer hall in norfolk on the sandringham estate. >> they be trying to give >> they will be trying to give as normality as possible to as much normality as possible to their children. >> there. it's >> they love it there. it's a it's a haven for them. they get a of there, and a lot of privacy there, and there's also the farm at sandringham. the kids love playing on the farm there, on the tractors. >> and george likes to get the animal feed on the tractor and take it around. >> the animals , so this is where

in the prime of life, when she was active , so sporty. look, was so active, so sporty. look, the of and then the picture of health and then this out of the blue, has felled her, but hopefully not for long. got to be optimistic. we've got to take what she said, which has been telling her children i'm okay and i'm getting stronger. absolutely. and she was also very she very pointedly mentioned william and said, what support he was. now, do you think in william's mind, he lost his mum when he was very young? kate is very young, but both women are fit, they're healthy, they're sporty . they both have they're sporty. they both have young families, obviously completely different circumstances with diana's tragedy, car crash and tragedy, the car crash and kate's . but do kate's health worries. but do you think at the back of william's mind, there must be thatis william's mind, there must be that is history going repeat that is history going to repeat itself? know, that must itself? and you know, that must be for him. it must be an anxiety for him. it must be an anxiety for him. it must be underlying anxiety for him. i mean, he must be. if i was him, i'd be thinking that. >> why me? >> why me? >> why me? this >> why me? this happened >> why me? this happened when i was 15, now i don't have my brother anymore. i don't have my

mother. i don't have my brother . mother. i don't have my brother. my mother. i don't have my brother. my father has cancer. and now my wife, my darling wife, who is my rock and means everything to me. and three young children to support the pressure he's been unden support the pressure he's been under. and he's been quite wrongly criticised, perhaps, perhaps carrying out as many perhaps not carrying out as many pubuc perhaps not carrying out as many public engagements as people require of him. well, we know why now. and the poor chap , he's why now. and the poor chap, he's obviously stayed absolutely silent about it, carried on smiling, meeting, greeting, encouraging other people , encouraging other people, supporting causes. >> with all this going on in the background , incredible pressure background, incredible pressure on him. >> you sound like you have a lot of respect for him. jenny. oh, i do , i've sort of watched him do, i've sort of watched him grow up and, you know, he's i think he's a very decent, man . think he's a very decent, man. and he, you know, he's quite stubborn. he knows his mind . stubborn. he knows his mind. that's no bad thing in a future monarch. but no one deserves this to happen to them. but let's hope you know this. in a year or two will be history. >> and all will be well. >> and all will be well. >> indeed. couldn't say any

better myself. jennie bond, thank you so much joining us thank you so much forjoining us this afternoon . okay, now let's this afternoon. okay, now let's see panel of this . see what my panel make of this. i'm still got author and broadcaster. claire muldoon with me and our and journalist and broadcaster albie amankona are with me as well. both here now obviously it's we have been talking about this and i you know, i apologise. we are talking about it again, but it's when i watched that on on friday. kate stoneman i was incredibly moved and i was surprised at how moved i was. i'm a journalist. i'm used to doing this sort of thing, how do you think it's out over you think it's rolled out over the way the country the weekend? the way the country reacted, the the have reacted, the way the trolls have reacted. alby. reacted, the way the trolls have reaywellalby. reacted, the way the trolls have reaywell, iby. reacted, the way the trolls have reaywell, i think of the >> well, i think some of the trolls have been suitably trolling. think i saw a tweet trolling. i think i saw a tweet from someone that seemed to get quite a lot of traction, saying, well, do we believe that kate has twitter in has cancer? but twitter is in real life, and we've got to remember that broadcast remember that that broadcast will have been seen by millions of people across the country and millions of people around the world themselves have world who themselves might have

been by cancer, and been impacted by cancer, and they will have that they will have seen that broadcast same way that i broadcast in the same way that i had a family friend of mine die in last year of cancer and think, gosh, how awful . but also think, gosh, how awful. but also think, gosh, how awful. but also think, gosh, how awful. but also think, gosh, i'm not alone. and this is actually impacting one of the most important families in the world. and actually, the royals are at the end of the day, just humans, and they're just people and they go through the same things that we all go through, which is why i think it's that they have it's so important that they have been health been honest about these health issues been facing, issues that they've been facing, whether been the whether or not it's been the king, not it's king, whether or not it's been the wales, it's very the princess of wales, it's very different in the 21st century to how cancer was treated in the past with the royals, where king george himself wasn't even told that he had at first. and that he had cancer at first. and it was completely hidden from the public. different the public. it's a different century . we're treating it century. we're treating it differently, and i think that's a good thing. >> think claire, don't >> and i think claire, don't you, it's positivity you, that it's the positivity and people talking about and getting people talking about it more the disease rather than what kate personally is what what our kate personally is going through. but are going through. but we are talking cancer. not talking about cancer. it's not

this , this really scary thing this, this really scary thing that, i think it's an that, you know, i think it's an instant death sentence anymore. what done actually what this has done is actually humanise the royal family, make the royal family real, because unfortunately, 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetime . not get cancer in our lifetime. not right now, in our lifetime. that's the really important part to, to change in this , i as to, to change in this, i as a mother, i was i watched kate, kate, princess of wales is very moving, heartfelt speech to the nation. i find her commanding in her presence . but also i think her presence. but also i think it was an absolute pr disaster from kensington palace from start to finish . the doctored start to finish. the doctored picture, that had the pool from the international time journalists and picture organisations. i think they could have held it helped a lot, helped her, helped the nation a lot more because the royal family are at the expense of the

pubuc family are at the expense of the public purse. we do have . we public purse. we do have. we know we have to know. i think we've got a right to know what is going on. now that we do, let's help her by not talking about it. let's help this mum of three, this wife of william , three, this wife of william, prince of wales. let's park their titles to the side and let their titles to the side and let the princess of wales, kate middleton, get together with her friends and trusted family, build a support network which everyone that's going through cancer needs. and i know i've been there as a support for many a friend that's been afflicted by this horrible, abhorrent disease busting, life taking disease. and it is no respecter of no respect, status, privilege, wealth , anything. privilege, wealth, anything. thank you both very much, okay. i'm dawn neesom this is gb news sunday and there's plenty more coming up on today's show. should we feel proud of the england flag in the wake of the nike shirt? well stop it, scottish lady and why does it

and the local council for their handung and the local council for their handling of the matter. her report is expected to recommend a series of measures, including a series of measures, including a ban on protests within 150m of schools . right. okay. right. schools. right. okay. right. okay, i'm going to. we did have a commentator on this, but i think he's frozen. frozen in time, as it were. so i'm going to panel about this to talk to the panel about this one, and albie one, claire muldoon and albie amankona still me now. amankona are still with me now. i'm stunned, claire, that this is three years ago. this poor teacher ri at batley teacher was head of ri at batley grammar school. i've been doing these lessons for two years previously, until march 2021, when he lost his job suddenly there was this hate mob. other word for describing it outside the school, and he, three years later, is still in hiding in fear for his life, his, his partner's wife and their children. what do you make of this? i think it's i'm absolutely disgusted by it. i really, really am. and it was male muslim protesters that were protesting with the charlie hebdo cartoon that was shown in

class. >> now this, this class was being taken by the same teacher in batley grammar for two years previously until march 2021. >> last year, when the mob ruled and the mob ruled that he must leave, he was ousted from his post with no care, no due diligence , no reform at all. in diligence, no reform at all. in terms of batley grammar academy, i think this is just disgusting . i think this is just disgusting. we have let our staff down in this country and until we start opening up the doors to good, honest teaching, good, honest policing of events, i don't think we can move forward , i think we can move forward, i really don't. so dame saira khan, it's an independent social cohesion adviser and this is going to be damning. this is actually well it is damning. reveal. the review will reveal how batley teacher felt how the batley teacher felt totally isolated, abandoned and suicidal. owing to a suicidal. suicidal owing to a lack of support from the agencies that should have protected him . now, the fact protected him. now, the fact that we talking this that we are talking about this three this poor man

three years on, this poor man and no arrests have and his family, no arrests have been no have been made. dawn. no arrests have been made. dawn. no arrests have been what make of been made. what do you make of this, she's this, abby? i mean this. she's right, isn't dame sarah is right, isn't she? dame sarah is right. some right. we do need some protection rent protection from people. rent a mob outside schools in this way. >> well, irrespective of what my opinions are on this case. and i do think it is a tragic situation that this teacher is, is in hiding and doesn't feel that he can do his job. dame saira khan is actually quite a divisive figure within the british muslim community, and there are a lot of people don't actually think she applies things fairly to british muslims and there will be british muslims perhaps watching and listening to us now . dawn, who listening to us now. dawn, who will find any depiction of the prophet very, very prophet muhammad very, very insulting and offensive to their religion ? and anyone that knows religion? and anyone that knows anything about religious education knows that now, whether or not that should lead to someone being in hiding, or whether or not that should lead to something like the charlie hebdo attacks in paris all of those years ago, awful those years ago, those awful terrorist attacks? absolutely not. that not not. of course, that should not happen.

not. of course, that should not happen . but there is a cultural happen. but there is a cultural sensitivity here that perhaps people need to be more understanding of in the multicultural society that we're living in. >> i completely disagree, because that charlie hebdo hebdo cartoon was was a way in for people to discuss things. and that's the tool that this teacher used to discuss blasphemy to, to discuss disrespect and religions and to discuss, you know, to , to discuss, you know, to, to involve i mean, if you look at the, the batley grammar website at the moment, they've got they changed it in september 2023. the guidance in dealing with diversity, inclusion and equality and it goes against the grain about everything that's happened to this teacher. grain about everything that's happened to this teacher . and happened to this teacher. and i'm sorry, but we are supposed to a christian country . to be a christian country. although we are a very secular society, the buck stops here with with them with schools. and i think it is absolutely an abomination what's happened to him. and she is right. i do

think we have to ban protests outside schools . let's see why, outside schools. let's see why, especially our guest says on this. joining me now is social policy analysis doctor rakeem hassan. raqib, thank you so much for joining us this afternoon. you've heard what our panellists have said . what do you make of have said. what do you make of what sarah khan's report is going to say? >> well, i think in terms of what took place at batley grammar school, i think what we saw there was a fundamental lack of local leadership. dawn and i think that irrespective of one's view, i'm a i would consider myself to be a socially conservative muslim. i think we have to understand that we are a country we don't actually country where we don't actually have place, country where we don't actually havithey place, country where we don't actually havithey were place, country where we don't actually havithey were largely place, country where we don't actually havithey were largely disused , but they were largely disused and ultimately from and then ultimately removed from the now, the statute books. now, of course , i think a course, i think that in a multi—faith democracy such as ours, we have to have conversations in terms of mutual understanding, encouraging mutual tolerance, and that has to be a common commitment which spans all faiths and none. but i

think that what we really need to talk about here is that when it comes to school protests, i've very careful in terms of undermining freedom of expression and assembly , but i expression and assembly, but i think it's very clear that there is an intimidating atmosphere which is created outside of schools. and if have schools. and if parents have issues of the content issues in terms of the content of what's being taught to their children that's children in schools, that that's donein children in schools, that that's done in a cooperative and peaceful done in a cooperative and peaobviously done in a cooperative and pea obviously there done in a cooperative and peaobviously there is a free >> obviously there is a free speech element here, but the mob and that's what they were. we saw out this the school in this particular case and the mob we have seen outside the houses of parliament recently, outside our mps, our own private homes as well, and outside other schools. i mean, there was one in my area in east london recently, about the palestine gaza issue. there has to be some there has to be some line drawn in the sand about how far people can go to, to, to have their free speech and make a point. but to, to have their free speech and make a point . but rather and make a point. but rather than these mobs descending on people, it's not just schools.

we're talking about here. it could be also, know, could be also, you know, universities, sorts of institutions. >> no, no. absolutely. and we have to make the point that educational institutions, they have to be hubs of critical thought. i mean that's at the heart of it . and of course heart of it. and of course there's discussions to be had in terms how parents interact terms of how parents interact with schools. have with schools. if they have issues taught to issues with being taught to their , especially when their children, especially when it comes to religious education. i have issues with i certainly have issues with creeping forms of radical transgenderism in the state school system. but the point is, is that if parents are disillusioned with what's being taught to their children or they have issues with it, that they cooperate schools in cooperate with the schools in in a in a very decent way, and that protests that they do not descend into atmospheres of intimidation, which could be particularly uncomfortable for teachers at those schools . teachers at those schools. >> but i keep just one thing you're touching slightly on what albie said just now. the sensitivity around the islamic faith in particular, meanwhile , faith in particular, meanwhile, we have had christians arrested

for silently praying outside of abortion clinics. is there a different way? are the faiths handled in a different way ? handled in a different way? >> well, i think that that's something that does concern me because ultimately, if you live in a pluralistic society and that we have a commitment to religious pluralism, there's no space for preferential treatment. and one of your guests did talk about that. we're a christian country. i would make the point that would also make the point that i would also make the point that i would that it's many would argue that it's many british view, british muslims, in my view, that what we that truly represent what we would consider to be traditional christian values. so i think that in terms of religious pluralism, that has to a pluralism, that has to involve a reconnection with our christian heritage traditions, heritage and traditions, and i think been the think that's been lost in the mainstream over time. >> indeed, it has a long to >> indeed, it has a long way to go . isla bryson, thank you very go. isla bryson, thank you very much for joining go. isla bryson, thank you very much forjoining us. afternoon. much for joining us. afternoon. appreciate batley appreciate your time now. batley grammar school claimed that support for the teachers involved was a priority from the start, and it had made counselling available to the teacher for several months, while an investigation by the schools trust later cleared the teacher of wrongdoing, it found

the use of the image in a lesson was inappropriate. make of that what will and let us know what you will and let us know what you will and let us know what you will and let us know what you think. i'm dawn neesom. this is gb news sunday. does it feel like the england flag is always a target whilst others aren't? maybe so much discussing that and more. the row over the three lions new shirt. next. this is gb news, britain's news channel don't go too far

are you proud to be english? you may not be. after england's performance in the defeat, but wasn't that bad against brazil . wasn't that bad against brazil. but of course, we should be proud to be english. so why is our flag treated differently to pretty every other pretty much every other flag? i'm talking about the i'm of course talking about the ongoing row over the england shirt with nike or the appearance of the saint george's

cross. now is cross. joining me now is historian and broadcaster rafe heydel—mankoo rafe. you heydel—mankoo rafe. thank you very much. what is wrong with being rafe nothing at being english? rafe nothing at all, you know, as cecil rhodes once said, remember, sir, you're an englishman and have therefore won first place in the lottery of life , and i think we should of life, and i think we should remember that. but these culture war attacks are directed, you know, much more against england than scotland and wales. and i think, you know, winston churchill put it best, as he always does, when he said there is a forgotten , nay, almost is a forgotten, nay, almost forbidden word, which means more to me than any other. and that word is england. and that's truer today now than i think than ever before. because, you know , whilst everyone else today know, whilst everyone else today is to celebrate their is told to celebrate their identity, obsess about their identity, obsess about their identity and their heritage and their culture, there's one identity that's frowned upon and that's england being english and englishness. you know, no one criticises the scots or the welsh with their patriotic

further. in fact, they celebrate flying their flags and waving their flags when they do it. it's called progressive nationalism . when we do it in nationalism. when we do it in england, it's called race. it's called racism . you know, there called racism. you know, there are lots of flags flying in cardiff and edinburgh, but the flag george wasn't even flag of saint george wasn't even flying hall in london, flying from city hall in london, which is the capital of england. and when ken livingstone gave funding for a saint patrick's day parade in london, he refused to do one for saint george's day. but the english should be proud because no other country in the world, with the exception , perhaps, of italy, has influenced much . i influenced the world as much. i often say that britain invented the modern world. in truth, it's actually england that created the modern world with the engush the modern world with the english language, you know, the modern global lingua franca , the modern global lingua franca, the industrial revolution, capitalism. england didn't invent. but england spread capitalism around the world. its role in the scientific revolution, the enlightenment, the common law mother of parliaments at westminster, the westminster rafe rafe. >> sorry, love, we're running

people in his story constituency because of higher house prices and rising cost of living, and the rising cost of living, the average home now costs around eight times the average income. it was half that in the 1990s, the chancellor told camilla tominey. lower taxes will make a difference. >> the average house prices in that part of the world, £670,000. if you've got a mortgage, if you're paying child care, what looks like a very high salary doesn't go as far as you might think. it would. if you might think. it would. if you look at the average salary in this country , £35,000, they in this country, £35,000, they have been feeling the pinch. and those people will see their tax bills go down by £900 this year. if you look at people on an even lower salary, the lowest legally payable salary, the national living wage, because i've increased that to £11.44, they will see if they're working full time. their income go up by £1,800. >> however, the labour party chair, anneliese dodds, says tax

rises are to blame and she promised changes under a labour government . government. >> there's a big difference, kamila, between what labour is setting out, especially on taxation and what we're seeing under the conservatives. we've seen taxes going up 25 times under the conservatives our instinct is always to make sure that working people are not paying that working people are not paying the price for government mistakes. that's what's happened , i'm afraid, under the conservatives. so of course , our conservatives. so of course, our approach would always be to try and reduce that impact on working people. we've seen the opposite, i'm afraid, under recent conservative governments, chilling levels of harassment are posing a serious threat to social cohesion. >> that's according to an independent government adviser. a review led by dame saira khan will be published tomorrow, showing more than 75% of the pubuc showing more than 75% of the public feel they can't speak their mind . public feel they can't speak their mind. it public feel they can't speak their mind . it suggests many their mind. it suggests many people feel society has become more divisive , and cites the more divisive, and cites the case of a teacher who went into hiding after showing a

you've got a mortgage, if you're paying you've got a mortgage, if you're paying childcare, what looks like a very high salary doesn't go as far as you might think it would. and but, you know, but that's under 40 years of tory rule, isn't it ? rule, isn't it? >> i mean, 100 grand is, what, four times more or less the average salary in this country. so that's a hell of a lot of money to earn, isn't it? why are people on 100 grand feeling that they don't have enough money under conservative government? under a conservative government? >> reason because we've >> the reason is because we've been difficult been through a very difficult period. we've had a pandemic, we've crisis. and we've had an energy crisis. and by it's not just people by the way, it's not just people on it's people on that salary, it's people on all salaries , i'd say that a lot all salaries, i'd say that a lot when i listen to him . the when i listen to him. the chancellor was also asked about his future tax and spend plans , his future tax and spend plans, and he confirmed that he wants to abolish national insurance completely . he. completely. he. >> but yes, i would like to bnng >> but yes, i would like to bring the absolute levels of tax down. absolutely. and i started on to scrap ni completely. >> i would like employees when can you imagine being able to do that if you offered that , for

that if you offered that, for instance, in a fiscal event before the election, which was obviously a good obviously be a good electioneering, when that electioneering, when would that feasibly be able to take place? well, i can't responsibly promise a date because it depends on all sorts of things , depends on all sorts of things, including, you know, what putin doesin including, you know, what putin does in ukraine and international energy prices. >> but what i can say is that for two fiscal events in a row, for two fiscal events in a row, for the autumn statement and the budget , that i have been able to budget, that i have been able to make a significant cut in personal taxation without increasing borrowing, without risking our public services and a conservative government will go further because we've shown we can do it, and we'll continue on that journey . on that journey. >> i told you i did a lot of that. joining me now is political commentator stephen carlton—woods stephen. thank you very much for joining carlton—woods stephen. thank you very much forjoining us, camilla is a cracking job interviewing jeremy hunt, but i'm just hearing a lot of white noise here still. i mean, what do you make of what he said?

>> first of all, let's put the, controversy for the £100,000, in context, really ? so he was context, really? so he was talking about a constituent in his area , an area called his area, an area called godalming , which is about 30 godalming, which is about 30 miles southwest of central london. and actually the average house price has gone up a bit from what, jeremy said, just under a touch under £700,000 at the moment. so i think he was, extremely. this was an extreme focused example, really, of his area in this particular person . area in this particular person. and i think it would be it would be absolutely ludicrous to suggest that such things , to suggest that such things, to suggest that such things, to suggest such a thing in a depnved suggest such a thing in a deprived area. we know that . so deprived area. we know that. so we're saying before it's at four times the average , around the times the average, around the uk. so i think it's taken out of context slightly going into that, thing about the hundred thousand pounds , but it was thousand pounds, but it was a true example of what the area is represented . represented. >> but i mean, obviously, you

know, the tories, there's an election coming up. they want to win, but how is that going to go down someone living one down with someone living in one of constituencies of the red wall constituencies on income of, say, on an average income of, say, £30,000 year? they're just £30,000 a year? they're just going the are going to think the tories are hideously out of touch what hideously out of touch with what real, people going real, ordinary people are going through in this country. >> that's that's exactly what i'm at. let's get i'm trying to get at. let's get this context. he was on this back in context. he was on about constituency and about his constituency and i said, like i said, it'd be absolutely ludicrous to suggest that for any other parts of the country that are particularly depnved country that are particularly deprived areas in the north and one of the other policies he was talking about was the triple lock on pensions. >> that is going to be now part of the tory manifesto. we've got a lot of response from viewers on that one saying, you know, they've hard their they've worked hard all their lives. tax lives. they've paid income tax and insurance. they lives. they've paid income tax and this. insurance. they lives. they've paid income tax and this. insiyou ce. they lives. they've paid income tax and this. insiyou thinkey deserve this. do you think that will be a vote winner for the conservatives? >> well, there's a lot more to take into consideration. just the triple lock has been part of their, manifesto for the last two, general elections . so when

two, general elections. so when we look at things like inflation, i mean, don't forget , inflation, i mean, don't forget, he's a jeremy has only been in office for 18 months. and when he came into office, inflation was actually 11. and it's just gone down to 3.4. so part of his last budget, when he put, £0.04 off for national insurance, that on average, if we take the national average, that's £900 a year saving per person. so there's other things as well. he didn't want to be borrowing more money. so when he was faced, he was either faced with extended borrowing , to cut taxes or keep borrowing, to cut taxes or keep the status quo to reduce borrowing . and the latter borrowing. and the latter probably the more sensible choice really , but i mean, a lot choice really, but i mean, a lot of people are saying, should he have gone further with that as well? so he make sensible well? so he had to make sensible choices . so despite fiscal choices. so despite fiscal dragging, he managed to reduce the amount of tax people pay compared forecasts by the obs compared to forecasts by the obs and by the ifs. compared to forecasts by the obs and by the ifs . so, i think he and by the ifs. so, i think he was doing the responsible thing really . so keeping that in the

really. so keeping that in the manifesto about, about the triple lock. well, i agree with that. and then the next thing you were talking about is scrapping, and i contributions. now, i see this more as an aspiration than anything else, but, it also , i think, gives an but, it also, i think, gives an indicator that they might they're actually believing they could win the next election. and that's why they're not being so, forced with putting this in a manifesto. it's been it's lingering in the air. and that's why i say it's more of an aspiration than , something they aspiration than, something they really will do. and stephen, that's what we're hearing a lot from both parties are, stephen carlton woods there. >> thank you very much for joining us on the aspirations of the conservative party, not policies promises. their policies or promises. their aspirations. heard that from labour as well. haven't we, now i'm joined by gb news presenter, albie amankona broadcaster albie amankona and broadcaster and journalist clare muldoon, but we're not actually discussing that. we're actually talking about china . are we

talking about china. are we really? yes we are. we are talking about china because reports suggest china has targeted senior uk politicians in a string of dangerous cyber attacks, spurring a crisis meeting in westminster for mps who are all critical of beijing, have been called to an urgent briefing by parliament's director of security oliver dowden tomorrow. this is happening as set to announce this to parliament. but let's let's see what you make of this one, i'm not surprised . i'm one, i'm not surprised. i'm really not surprised, they are a massive economy, emerging markets. they've just got their finger in every single pie. and don't forget mi6 finger in every single pie. and don't forget m16 or mi6 finger in every single pie. and don't forget m16 or m16 and m15, the domestic, intel science bureau actually have had on their lists, on their radar. chinese people in trying to infiltrate government at quite a high level . yeah. i mean, we've high level. yeah. i mean, we've we've been hearing this story quite a bit over the last couple of years, haven't we, alby? about much china are

about how much china are a threat not just to uk, other european countries, and certainly america are taking action on this one, it but it sounds all a bit james bond to me at the moment. i have to admit. what do you make of this? >> it does all sound quite a bit james bond, and i think what oliver is going to be oliver dowden is going to be announcing what announcing is essentially what sounds a bit of a sounds like a bit of a retaliation , from the some of retaliation, from the some of these cyber attacks that we're seeing on high profile mps who have taken stances against china, people like tim loughton for example. we also know that former prime minister liz truss took a very strong stance against china during her leadership election and her very short time in government, but china as a country is difficult. i think , for western governments i think, for western governments to get their head around because yes , in one sense it is yes, in one sense it is a threat, but in another sense it's an important economic partner. and i think western governments have got to be careful not to overegg things. there are a lot of people in

industry who think things like the huawei ban, who they produce telecommunications equipment, was top . there are lots was over the top. there are lots of people who think the tiktok ban in the united states of america is over the top. so there is this tussle going on between the economic interests of the west and the security interests of the west, and the two agendas don't always marry together nicely. >> it's very interesting. claire that at the same time as this meeting has happened with oliver dowden chinese company dowden, a chinese company that makes vehicle makes electric electric vehicle batteries , is on the batteries for bmw, is on the cusp of investing billions of pounds into building britain's biggest gigafactory. so the chinese are going to be hosting, owning most of our industry. so it's a bit of a contradiction going on here. well, britain's no longer a manufacturing country . that's by sent country. that's all been by sent by you know, and we by the wayside, you know, and we are looking to china. that's what i said at the beginning. it's such massive, it's such a massive, massive market. still market. and it's we're still giving china . you know, giving aid to china. you know, it just doesn't add up. as it just doesn't add up. but as i'll quite rightly said, in i'll be quite rightly said, in my view, the absolute balance between security and the need

for manufacturing infrastructure and the need for goods and services is a very, very it's a very balanced tightrope . it's very balanced tightrope. it's incredibly difficult to balance. it is it is tricky , isn't it. it is it is tricky, isn't it. and it's not just this country. it is many countries around europe now. it's that balance between investment and also keeping china at a safe distance, especially with everything that's else, is going on in the world. i mean, what we've happening russia we've seen happening in russia recently, i recently, well, precisely, i think are there's think there are there's a growing bunch people growing bunch of people on the perhaps more, more, more, more china the argument china hawk side of the argument that really want us to treat china similar almost china in a similar way, almost to treat russia. to how we treat russia. >> but then you have people on the side of the the economic side of the argument saying, well, actually, if china like russia, if we treat china like russia, that an of economic that would be an act of economic self—harm. would self—harm. but then what would also of economic also be an act of economic self—harm if we were not to be tough china with the prospect tough on china with the prospect that they might invade taiwan because taiwan is a region of the world which manufactures most the semiconductors, most of the semiconductors, which go into a lot of our digital that power digital devices that power

things studio , and that things in the studio, and that would huge economic harm things in the studio, and that w0|the huge economic harm things in the studio, and that w0|the country. ge economic harm things in the studio, and that w0|the country. so economic harm things in the studio, and that w0|the country. so it'slomic harm things in the studio, and that w0|the country. so it's a�*nic harm things in the studio, and that w0|the country. so it's a veryiarm for the country. so it's a very tightrope that we're walking on here. i'm not sure if we've here. and i'm not sure if we've got the balance right at the moment. >> well, taiwan is a very, very hot potato because don't forget, biden over , a high member biden sent over, a high member of the health his team to. it wasn't kamala harris to see what wasn't kamala harris to see what was going on there. i know that the raf are flying over parts of taiwan, using to ukraine go over the airspace. i mean, it's an absolute minefield . it really, absolute minefield. it really, really is. and it's something that's quite i mean , do you know that's quite i mean, do you know what i really want? i would prefer if britain were holding china to account on net zero the way they are ordinary people in this country that would, that would in my eyes, help everything . and that's a very everything. and that's a very fair point because the argument always is sort of like, okay, i've got install a heat pump. meanwhile are building meanwhile china are building new coal powered fire stations literally as we speak. >> how does britain hold >> but how does britain hold china to account on net zero? it's almost it can saying

britain should hold america to account on net zero. we can't hold these big countries to account net. we can talk account on net. we can talk about it, we talk about it about it, we can talk about it and talk about it. but and we should talk about it. but i say, we're i would also say, if we're talking environmentalism talking about environmentalism in china, china the biggest in china, china is the biggest market . now look there market for evs. now look there is there more china can do to get us to net zero? of course there is. but there are areas of their economy where where china is ahead with is actually further ahead with the net zero agenda than the rest of world is just rest of the world is just quickly the tiktok issue. quickly on the tiktok issue. >> here that, >> i've just noticed here that, tiktok estimated contributed 1.6 billion to the uk economy in 2022, and that's just the uk economy . economy. >> that's not the global economy. >> no, that's the thing. so i mean, sort of like, know, mean, sort of like, you know, the fact you know, we are the fact that, you know, we are we trying to down we are trying to go down the road several government we are trying to go down the road of veral government we are trying to go down the road of banningyernment we are trying to go down the road of banning tiktok1t we are trying to go down the road of banning tiktok is , is offices of banning tiktok is, is that a good thing or a bad thing? claire. well, i don't i'm not tiktok, it's a very not on tiktok, but it's a very it's very to old it's a very very to old thankfully a useful it's a very very to old thanthaty a useful it's a very very to old thanthat the a useful it's a very very to old thanthat the youth useful it's a very very to old thanthat the youth osteful it's a very very to old thanthat the youth of today use tool that the youth of today use because the advertising revenue and the advertising streams for products and services on this

app products and services on this app is huge , absolutely huge. app is huge, absolutely huge. but but the people know what they're talking about with this sort of thing. they say that, you know, uk, china , you can get you know, uk, china, you can get so information from tiktok so much information from tiktok because they own the app. basically >> so i when it comes to >> so i think when it comes to when it comes to tiktok, i think we've got to be we've got to be quite careful not to imagine things which possible. is things which are possible. is it theoretically possible where the chinese government to want to get from us through get information from us through tiktok? that might be the case, but realistically, there are so many layers of corporate governance and so many layers of international regulations that would make that sort of thing very difficult to do in practice . would it actually happen? i think it's probably quite unlikely that being said, i do think it's quite prudent of the united kingdom. sorry if the united kingdom. sorry if the united of america has united states of america has basically well, you're basically say, well, if you're going to keep in the going to keep tiktok in the united states america, united states of america, bytedance, company bytedance, which is the company that got to that owns tiktok, has got to sell in the company sell their stake in the company to a us company because that's a massive cash grab for the

american economy. so it's actually quite prudent if it's not security . i think it's not on security. i think it's more about money. >> just i've just >> i've just i've just remembered well, claire, that >> i've just i've just remershapps well, claire, that >> i've just i've just remershapps weltiktok,e, that >> i've just i've just remershapps weltiktok, which grant shapps is on tiktok, which is possibly is another good reason, possibly not to. yeah. was that when he was a car salesman or now, or even when you what? oh, even when you know what? oh, can't up. they've all had even when you know what? oh, carmany up. they've all had even when you know what? oh, carmany jobs. they've all had even when you know what? oh, carmany jobs ,they've all had even when you know what? oh, carmany jobs , right?e all had even when you know what? oh, carmany jobs , right? grant1ad so many jobs, right? grant shapps many for the shapps as many means for all the best analysis and opinion on that story and more, our that story and more, go to our website gbnews.com. now it's time for the great british giveaway. we've got a shopping spree, a garden gadget bundle, and a £12,345 in cash. here's how it can be all yours. >> there's still time to win our giveaway packed with seasonal essentials. first, there's an incredible £12,345 in tax free cash to be won, cash to make your bank account bloom, plus a spnng your bank account bloom, plus a spring shopping spree with £500 in shopping vouchers to spend in the store of your choice. and finally, a garden gadget package including a handheld games console, a portable smart

mail on sunday reports. the commander at the al—roj camp has said there are 19 british women and 35 children living there . and 35 children living there. the figure is higher than previously thought, and one of the women has begged to be allowed to return to the uk. now canada and germany have allowed jihadi brides to return, and america are putting the pressure on us to do the same. but should we now remember this moves it on from just shamima begum, 19 women, 35 children, british. joining me now is filmmaker and journalist andrew drury to explain what's going on here. andrew, thank you so much for joining us this afternoon. really appreciate your time . really appreciate your time. now, this is a story in the mail on sunday. today what do you make of this story ? oh right. make of this story? oh right. okay. we have lost andrew. unfortunately, this is, a shocking story. claire. i was surprised by this . you know, surprised by this. you know, we've discussed shamima until

we're blue in the face. i mean , we're blue in the face. i mean, she's been stripped of her nationality, etc, etc, but nationality, etc, etc, etc. but these are new figures today. 19 british women being held in this camp, 35 children. the director of the camp is saying we should take them back because we, by not doing so, are encouraging radicalism. what do you make of this? should we have them back? no we shouldn't. when sanjay javid, stripped shamima begum of her british nationality and citizenship, he did so not to make her stateless because at the time she was born of bangladeshi parents. so bangladeshi parents. so bangladesh then the burden of proof was on them to prove that she wasn't a bangladeshi citizen. the issue for shamima begum, as i understand it now, has arisen because bangladesh is saying no, i'm sorry, she's not ours. and her canadian husband is. canada is saying no through the marriage because she was married young under the age, or that we would allow marriage to happen. she's not our responsibility either . happen. she's not our responsibility either. shamima begum is the face of the

jihadist movement at the time of these brides. and don't forget , these brides. and don't forget, she was sent to recruit young women. >> now were faced with the issue of 19 women, but not only that, it's the children. >> it's the children that i feel very sorry for because they're fatherless. they're there with their mothers who appear to be stateless. so we need to work out who's issue and who's burden these women actually are, and we can't dehumanise them whether or not we think they are. they've committed treason. whether or not we think they're traitors of the country . i not we think they're traitors of the country. i think not we think they're traitors of the country . i think we've got the country. i think we've got a fundamental duty of care to the children and to these women as well, to hear their stories . but well, to hear their stories. but notwithstanding the fact i am notwithstanding the fact i am not there, i'm not a big fan of shamima begum, and i would not personally sign off on her papers to come back and live in this country . papers to come back and live in this country. i'll be. how about you? >> well, i've got a lot of sympathy for what claire has just said, but i think one of the most interesting

interventions has interventions on this issue has actually from colleague actually been from our colleague jacob who vehemently jacob rees—mogg, who vehemently disagrees with claire has disagrees with what claire has had actually thinks had to say. and actually thinks that it had to say. and actually thinks thatitis had to say. and actually thinks that it is right that that britain takes the responsibility for shamima begum, that she shouldn't left stateless, and shouldn't be left stateless, and that she should come back to the united kingdom face justice united kingdom and face justice in that in this country, i think a lot of people quite a lot of people are quite surprised have surprised to hearjacob have that opinion, actually that opinion, but it's actually something he's been very consistent on. i a lot consistent on. and i think a lot of you were saying, claire, of what you were saying, claire, you saying, she you were saying, you know, she shouldn't stateless. well, you were saying, you know, she shorisin't stateless. well, you were saying, you know, she shoris currentlyateless. well, you were saying, you know, she shoris currently stateless ell, you were saying, you know, she shoris currently stateless .ll, you were saying, you know, she shoris currently stateless . so she is currently stateless. so what would you say to someone like who in like jacob who says in a situation like this, this woman is the children is stateless? the children are in a refugee camp. they should come back and face justice in the i think we can bring in the uk. i think we can bring in our guests can we. andrew our guests now, can we. andrew drury who? yeah. andrew. andrew drury, who has been to these camps, has talked to these women, interviewed shamima bayegan several times, now this is a new numbers and we're not used to these numbers, and it's a first ever interview with a lady called wadjda. rashid from

leeds, who is another jihadi bride. what do you make of this story? andrew funny enough, i was woke up by your message this morning and i saw the paper, and i ironically , it's a stolen i ironically, it's a stolen story by me. i had that story roughly about two years ago, but reprieve , the apologetic, human reprieve, the apologetic, human rights group, prevented us from putting the story out. and her brother . so it's putting the story out. and her brother. so it's just putting the story out. and her brother . so it's just another brother. so it's just another person, in that camp, alongside another 19 girls and also , i was another 19 girls and also, i was listening to your your guests there talking about shamima begum and the children. let me tell you what about my all's i would say, what about the victims ? shamima begum was most victims? shamima begum was most definitely hisba, which means she was part of the morality police. what rights of those victims got? we talk about her all the time, but never about the victims . i was in refugee the victims. i was in refugee camps to talking the victims, i don't think they'll feel so

sorry. as we or some of your. your guests might feel sorry for her. and let's talk about the kids. these kids are trained as the new generation of isis. when i went there, they were chucking rocks at us. so let's not feel so apologetic about them either. >> andrew, what do you make of the fact that america have put pressure on us to take these jihadi brides and their children back? the director of the camps in question are putting pressure on us to take them back. what do you make that attitude ? you make of that attitude? >> well, the attitude from the americans american americans is normal american because they've got a girl there that also made stateless that they've also made stateless . they're refusing to take back. so a bit ironic that so it's a bit ironic that they've come out and said we should take back because should take ours back because shamima friend , is was shamima is best friend, is was an citizen, so maybe shamima is best friend, is was an should citizen, so maybe shamima is best friend, is was an should take:en, so maybe shamima is best friend, is was an should take theirs maybe shamima is best friend, is was an should take theirs back)e they should take theirs back too, if that's what their case. look, i base my feelings about shamima, about actually knowing her. i'm probably one of the only people that does know her, and her character is not that nice. let's be honest. i mean, why we so keen to bring her why are we so keen to bring her back? for what reason? why are

we on because she was we so duped? on because she was once ours or whatever. she didn't to be british. she didn't want to be british. she gave up her passport by leaving this country. she never once tried to escape or get back. it's only now it's a bit hot there or a bit cold there. it's uncomfy. she doesn't like it anymore. she wants to come back now . now. >> we have been told that, you know, we knew what the know, if we knew what the security forces knew about some of women, want of these women, we wouldn't want them back. do you think they would be a threat to the british public, well, she's she's a threat for what she stood for and let me know. we do know what she's done. we do know that she was his. but there's enough evidence , enough witnesses evidence, enough witnesses about the sinner suicide vest. the suicide sinner suicide vest. and this is a woman. remember that said the manchester bombing was legitimate. remember that ? was legitimate. remember that? and before you actually feeling sorry for her, i mean , that's my sorry for her, i mean, that's my view anyway. no. >> exactly. and this, this other lady who left leigh, she's 45 years old. wokester rashid , did

years old. wokester rashid, did you meet her as well? am i right in thinking ? in thinking? >> yeah, i've interviewed her. right, | >> yeah, i've interviewed her. right, i interviewed her, she was. she was introduced to me by shamima. shamima found her and irritants. this woman, she said, look, can you speak to her? she irritates me. so shamima has got no for anybody . so this no sympathy for anybody. so this woman came up with me. she's got shrapnel her neck travelling shrapnel in her neck travelling to her brain, the likelihood she will in that camp, if she will die in that camp, if she doesn't get help. because in the summer, the metal inside her neck heats up and in the cold, it freezes and she fits. the sad news is she's got a boy called adam, who's seven years of age, who will also be the first state or stateless orphan . now, i do or stateless orphan. now, i do feel slightly sorry from him, but he also chucks rocks at the western journalists. so lot of western journalists. so a lot of a lot work needs to be done a lot of work needs to be done on these kids. we've to on these kids. we've got to really what we say. really be careful what we say. we'll them back, bring we'll bring them back, bring them hard that them back. think hard about that , okay, andrew. >> and you've got, understand, >> and you've got, i understand, a zone out amazon a danger zone out on amazon prime moment. new prime at the moment. your new film . film. >> yeah. get and watch it everybody. it's another

history with cancer, i was diagnosed in 2017, and it had spread from the breast to the lymph nodes , so they had to lymph nodes, so they had to start the chemo straight away , i start the chemo straight away, i was brca two. i found out halfway through chemo . i had an halfway through chemo. i had an 18 month old baby and a three year old little girl, and i was running a company , and it was. running a company, and it was. yeah, it was full on. and i did the chemo and, yeah, there was obviously complications throughout . i obviously complications throughout. i was obviously complications throughout . i was pretty much in throughout. i was pretty much in hospital every single round of chemo, i had to take the little ones out of nursery in the end because i was just picking up everything, i got through it, which was great news, it did come back in the bowel, a couple of years after, and it came back.i of years after, and it came back. i got skin cancerjust december, just gone. starting chemo again tomorrow . yeah. so.

chemo again tomorrow. yeah. so. but being a brca carrier, there's a lot of cancer. unfortunately, in my family , but unfortunately, in my family, but i think where i've obviously come from, what is. >> it's the gene, isn't it. that. yes means you're more disposed to. yes to develop a cancen disposed to. yes to develop a cancer. so breast cancer in particular. yeah. >> and ovarian cancer. so they had to give me a hysterectomy . had to give me a hysterectomy. me when i was 39, so i went through the menopause and obviously can't have any more children. but i'm grateful i've got two beautiful girls, so it was a journey i'd probably say to anybody else. just it's like a marathon and life changes, and it's just all about keeping, you know, positive mindset. find an outlet. my outlet was literally writing and i literally just wrote this book in the chemo ward, and it was it was literally i was struggling to

hold it up. >> you can see it on screen now. this is donna's book, the monster in mummy d monster fire cancer for children, so you actually wrote this while you were being while i was in the chemo ward and running a company, i mean, initially when i first got diagnosed, it was all very formal, and the consultant shook my hand and said, i'm sorry to you have said, i'm sorry to say you have got cancer . so i was like, oh my got cancer. so i was like, oh my goodness, and all i kept thinking of is my children, you know, i had a little baby, had to abruptly stop breastfeeding, which was a good thing, but it was. yeah yeah, it was a journey because i didn't feel poorly , because i didn't feel poorly, and that was the scariest thing. yeah, but i noticed my children, you know, because they didn't understand at that age , the understand at that age, the little one did develop separation anxiety , which i got separation anxiety, which i got a play therapist for. she's absolutely fine now, but it was just mummy was in hospital a lot , so how do you. i mean, this

is, you know, for an adult, these are the words no one wants to hear ever . these are the words no one wants to hear ever. really. and obviously we're talking about this because what catherine is going through now with three young children herself. yes so, i mean, as i said, i keep saying i mean, as i said, i keep saying i love the title. how do you explain it? catherine will have done this with her three who are all under the age of ten. how do you explain it to youngsters? all under the age of ten. how do you

all these other facebook groups, there was a lot of, a lot younger mothers than me, were really struggling . so i thought, really struggling. so i thought, okay, i've got to bring something to the table to help others because i hate seeing anyone else suffer. and i thought, okay, i'll write this down. and then when i got put into remission, i was like, i've got to i've got to help because i've got all the information from little on how from the little ones on how i could bring something positive to table. finding to the table. so it's finding an outlet . and actually, i was very outlet. and actually, i was very honest with my children because adults , the word cancer, it's adults, the word cancer, it's like it's one of the scariest words you can hear. children haven't got a clue. they don't know is. so i mean, it know what it is. so i mean, it was like mummy's got to go into hospital, some strong hospital, have some very strong medicine , you know, medicine which might, you know, my hair will go, because that's scary for little kids as well, isn't it? >> when mummy suddenly looks different and maybe, know, different and maybe, you know, puffy things? puffy with steroids and things? >> i put on three >> i mean, i put on three stones. so i was thinking was stones. so i was thinking i was going to weight. going to lose weight. i mean, i ballooned. one ballooned. my little one actually head and

actually loved my bald head and she used to stroke it like a soother. so that was a positive. the eldest one was a little bit scared , but there's wigs and scared, but there's wigs and there's scarves and actually , it there's scarves and actually, it doesn't need to be all doom and gloom. so when i got diagnosed back again the second time, it was fine. and my children are absolutely fine because i was very, very honest with them. i found i literally do not hide anything from them because they're they're little people and that unfortunately we're running time . running out of time. >> would that your advice to >> would that be your advice to catherine be catherine and william to be as honest as they can with the children? >> 100. and we're all behind you . it's not as scary initially as a first diagnosis. that is the worst part. the first initial diagnosis. after that, kids are so adaptable. and yeah, we're sending all our love out to kate and family. >> we are donya youssef. thank you so much forjoining us this afternoon. and honour's book is the monster in mummy, which is available on sale now. >> yeah, it's available on amazon. >> thank you so much and huge

environment. yeah, actually, you know, sort of like coal and staving. yeah. it was going to win war them and it win the war for them and it didn't. and look how that turned out. you know, the only other country that's in line with british portugal. british summertime is portugal. oh. but if you go travel to portugal you don't need to move the earth. that horrible thing. right. quickly , while right. and just quickly, while we were talking about england earlier we've earlier on, while we've got a scottish on, very, very scottish person on, very, very quickly, which you would not the messing around with the england flag on that england shirt. no, not the country will do it. no, the scots won't put up with it. but as british more but i see myself as british more than and i don't than scottish. and i don't have any at all to scottish any cuckold at all to scottish politics as you. well know, i've got four english children born in england , but i think it's in england, but i think it's absolutely disastrous. and i think the sign off from the fa, whoever did that sign off, really ought to be held account, because it's an appalling way to treat an identity, to treat something that symbolises a country's identity. and why do it? what is this supposed to symbolise? i'll be quick
