to september 2023. there were 48,716 knife crime offences recorded in england and wales. today. a 19 year old was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after an apparent stabbing on a train in broad daylight . the alleged broad daylight. the alleged knifeman was able to get off that train and evade police for hours. also today, a man has been arrested on suspicion of two counts of attempted murder and on suspicion of sexual assault after an alleged random attack at another train station. at no stage did the police release a description of the accused attacker to help keep the public safe. in the north east, there has been a 500% increase in sexual offences since 2014. stalking and harassment has gone up 6,000% now. today it's emerged that a young man has been rampaging through a town in london since january, committing a string of

sexual assaults, even against girls as young as 12 years old. and only now have the police released an e—fit image of the suspect , an officer said. we suspect, an officer said. we believe the suspect is in his late teens or early 20s, and we are working urgently to identify him. anyone who can help us to do that should contact us immediately. well i'm sorry okay, but he is currently operating in the cctv capital of england and the best you can do is a computer generated image published two months after his first attack. do you remember abdul ezedi? it was nearly a full 24 hours before the police released images of him. quite easily identifiable. they're the man with half his face burnt off. they even raided a kebab shopin off. they even raided a kebab shop in newcastle before telling us he'd actually jumped off a

bndge us he'd actually jumped off a bridge in london hours after the attack. i mean, it doesn't fill you with confidence, this does it. and then today it emerged that detectives are hunting heartless a heartless thieves who stole a specially van used by specially converted van used by a terminally ill boy. the crime epidemic is out of control and it is affecting absolutely everyone . and shoplifting is so everyone. and shoplifting is so bad. you have to ask a cashier for detergent. there are security tags on cheese . it's no security tags on cheese. it's no secret that theresa may decided to cut 20,000 police officers. that meant that we shot a load of police stations . west of police stations. west midlands has lost 76% of police stations in the last eight years. the total run by scotland yard has halved in the same time frame from 73 to 36, while more than 40% of stations have shut in both staffordshire and greater manchester, leaving them with just 12 each. the best example of the breakdown in law and order is this a police station in streatham closed and

was turned into £1 million cannabis farm. there have been cuts, but the police don't help themselves. outrageous two tier policing during the palestine protests. you just want to. >> eamonn the money, brother. keep respecting . yeah. keep respecting. yeah. >> letting themselves get sexually touched up at a carnival. there we are. i mean, right, or dancing the macarena at a gay pride event. are. we are lovely stuff. isn't it fantastic . and that's before fantastic. and that's before we've got started on taking the knee for black lives matter, isn't it? now we are struggling to recruit armed police officers in on trial for in case they end up on trial for murder after discharged murder after they discharged their line of their weapons in the line of duty. yes, we do have weak duty. so yes, we do have weak woke policing at times, but the real problem is actually much bigger than that. the animals have taken over the zoo and this isn't going to get better any time soon, is it? let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening. i am joined by the star columnist at the daily telegraph

allison pearson, the founding chairman britain , chairman of global britain, amanda gall, and the ex labour adviser allison. adviser matthew laser allison. i look things like an e—fit look at things like an e—fit image being put out of a man who is believed to be responsible for multiple some for multiple sex attacks, some of children. as of them against children. as young that first began in young as 12. that first began in january . and best our police january. and the best our police can the moment is a can do at the moment is just a genenc can do at the moment is just a generic computer generated image. >> you think a junior school class could probably do better, don't you? i think what we're seeing is the lawlessness you spoke about. i think they are emboldened, patrick. and why wouldn't they be? we're seeing knife attacks on public transport the afternoon tea transport in the afternoon tea time when children are coming home from school . they're home from school. they're strolling down roads. you see footage them strolling down footage of them strolling down roads longer than kitchen roads with longer than kitchen knives , absolutely bold knives, absolutely bold as brass. reason they're brass. and the reason they're doing that is because they know that there's not going to be any comeback just comeback at all. just just something which i something i looked up, which i think interesting. so think is really interesting. so police, british police give up on crimes a minute, 6300 on four crimes a minute, 6300 crimes a day. they don't bother investigating . they just. this

investigating. they just. this is really worth listening to. everybody. 2,306,623 crimes in 2023. not investigated, reported, but not investigated. they include 32,000 sex offences, 6400 rapes, 45,000 robberies, 3000 317,000 cases of criminal damage. other public getting money value for money here. this is unbelievable. if you are of 6400 women raped , you are of 6400 women raped, reported the rapes, not one of those investigated . i mean, it's those investigated. i mean, it's absolutely disgraceful. and they haven't even got the excuse the government's given them. another 20,000 is now 150,000 20,000 police is now 150,000 police billions a year. what are they doing? what are they doing and what are they? >> look, i think i absolutely echo what you have to say, alison, but what i will say is, look , it's not about the money. look, it's not about the money. >> £25 billion is the budget of the uk. and that's gone up by 31% in cash terms over the last yeah 31% in cash terms over the last year. so it's not about the

money, it is about the operational decisions that i would argue that the senior police management is taking in this country. we've seen it with two tier policing of these hard left protests and the palestinian protests. but look in the uk, we are proud that policing is done by consent and that comes through consensus and that comes through consensus and that comes through the transparency of powers. but crucially, the integrity of enforcing those powers . and enforcing those powers. and that's something i think is missing so many places. that's something i think is missing so many places . you missing from so many places. you know, you get your phone stolen, you get you get you get you get you get mugged, you get have have a burglary in your house. and it was simply not be investigated to fullest investigated to its fullest extent. it boils to extent. and i think it boils to down confidence. if people do not have confidence that the police will have their back when and when the moment comes, that is a very dangerous inflection. >> you should say that, because actually, the latest report by the independent police watchdog showed that the public's confidence in the police was at its level, and that its lowest ever level, and that was july last year. matthew,

was in july last year. matthew, have the police given up? >> well, i think that they certainly is a crisis of confidence in the police. and i think there's a crisis of what you might call neighbourhood police, what they call neighbourhood policing, which is a phrase i actually hate, but i.e. what we used to call the bobby on the beat. so, i mean, i think that, you know, one of these incidents happened about three of a mile from three quarters of a mile from where live tube station, where i live in a tube station, which two of my best friends use every day. so, mean, you know, every day. so, i mean, you know, we shouldn't take away from the seriousness of what's gone on, but should remember but we should remember that the murder has been murder rate in london has been falling 20 years, and we falling for 20 years, and we need to get it in the context that we don't frighten ourselves. that's not to say that there clearly are police failings . failings. >> crime up 22. >> crime up 22. >> yeah. i think there's a particular crisis on knife crime , not just in london, but but across the country. and i think there is also an issue about visible police presence. and yes, we are now back on the

offices. the problem was 20,000 officers went under the early days tories, under days of the tories, under austerity. they quite a lot austerity. they were quite a lot of because of senior officers because they're most expensive. so they're the most expensive. so to cut your budget, you get rid of ones. they're of the more senior ones. they're now of course now recruiting. but of course the has up the population has gone up and we still fewer police we still have fewer police officers per capita than we did in power. in 2010 when labour left power. >> openly conservative voice >> the openly conservative voice on this. >> i mean, look, i think, >> so, i mean, look, i think, let's you know, boris let's be honest, you know, boris came in mayor first came in as mayor in his first terms. within the first three weeks, of thousands weeks, we had tens of thousands of off the streets of knives off the streets for simple stop search. simple reason. stop and search. you is key. you know, search. that is key. stop yeah. if it's stop and search. yeah. if it's not implemented, we're not not being implemented, we're not going see any difference. going to see any difference. >> knife murders. matthew >> w- w“ >> i mean, no, look, i'm not, i'm that we've got i'm not. i think that we've got a confidence with a crisis of confidence with crisis crime. crisis on knife crime. and that's need police that's why we need more police officers the streets, on the officers on the streets, on the neighbour, neighbourhood. neighbour, in the neighbourhood. >> so people know we've spoken a lot you can't walk around >> so you can't walk around a lot about police here. lot about the police here. >> just going to ask >> alison, i'm just going to ask you, there cultural issues you, are there cultural issues at do think at play here, do you think are we breakdown we seeing the breakdown of the nuclear some nuclear family having some kind

of

gb news. welcome back to patrick christys. tonight coming up, winston marshall on the ramadan lights covering london. and dare i say it, a town or city near you as well. this easter weekend. but first, as they protest queen camilla at the maundy service. should anti—monarchy stop anti—monarchy campaigners stop protesting royal engagements protesting at royal engagements following the family's double cancer diagnosis, it's time for tonight's head to head.

anti—monarchy group republic were back out on the streets today as they protested the royal maundy, hosted by the queen in worcester, with the crown now with the crown found with the crown . with the crown. >> down with the crown. down with the crown. down with the crown. >> well, it's less than a year since the same group were causing chaos and being dragged into police vans ahead the into police vans ahead of the king's coronation. this is the same who is now bravely same king who is now bravely battling cancer, meaning he missed today's royal maundy service and only managed to muster an audio message for the guests in attendance . and of guests in attendance. and of course, not the only member course, he's not the only member of the royal family fighting cancen of the royal family fighting cancer, as he. >> in january, underwent major >> in january, i underwent major abdominal surgery london and abdominal surgery in london and at it was thought that at the time it was thought that my condition was non—cancerous . my condition was non—cancerous. the surgery was successful, however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present . present. >> so tonight i'm asking should anti—monarchy campaigners stop

protesting at royal engagements following the royal family's double cancer diagnosis? let me know your thoughts. vaiews@gbnews.uk i'm at gb news on twitter. go and vote in our poll. the results to follow in a few short minutes, but right now, going head to head, our journalist sarah robertson and human peter human rights campaigner peter tatchell. with human rights campaigner peter taththey've with human rights campaigner peter taththey've called with you. they've been called scumbags . these anti—monarchy scumbags. these anti—monarchy protesters. would you agree with that? protesters. would you agree with tha scumbags is a strong turn. >> scumbags is a strong turn. >> scumbags is a strong turn. >> but i think there's something really ugly about the scenes that we saw today. we saw queen camilla going into the service to reward 150 good men and women who have done great things for the community. and there was just something very ugly about this braying mob outside . it this braying mob outside. it just didn't reflect well on britain. and i thought to be attacking an older whose attacking an older woman whose husband going husband the king, is going through cancer, whose step daughter law, princess daughter in law, princess catherine, is going through cancen catherine, is going through cancer. i just thought it just didn't sit right with me. it was a sad reflection on our country that people would think to stoop

that people would think to stoop that low. >> yeah, they've stooped low, peter. >> well, republicans sympathise with charles and princess kate. >> we understand the difficulties they're going through. we wish them a full and speedy recovery . the protests speedy recovery. the protests are not about them personally. it's about the institution they represent in our democracy. the positions of . state are supposed positions of. state are supposed to be based upon democratic consent , to be based upon democratic consent, based on merit. you know, we have a head of state, a monarchy that is based on inheritance , no matter how bad inheritance, no matter how bad that person may be, they become our head of state and monarch. regardless that is not a good look in a democracy. we republicans , should you shout at republicans, should you shout at his wife while he's got cancer though? >> no, we weren't shouting. >> no, we weren't shouting. >> no, we weren't shouting. >> no one was shouting at queen camilla down with the crown. >> they were. the head of repubuc >> they were. the head of republic made some really disgusting comments a couple of days press and he he days ago in the press and he he called. it was really quite cruel actually what he said. he

said kate middleton's cancer diagnosis was just a soap opera. i thought was really, i thought that was really, really unnecessary to liken what the going through to the princess is going through to a soap opera and a circus, really ? is that how you expect really? is that how you expect to get people to come to your cause? well, look, by using such inflammatory language like that, it's wouldn't like it, it's you wouldn't like it, peter. i'm sure you going through that. your family peter. i'm sure you going throug well, . your family peter. i'm sure you going throug well, monarchistsamily peter. i'm sure you going throug well, monarchists talking peter. i'm sure you going th|you well, monarchists talking peter. i'm sure you going th|you well,waynarchists talking peter. i'm sure you going th|you well,way in'chists talking peter. i'm sure you going th|you well,way in the ts talking peter. i'm sure you going th|you well,way in the street. ng to you that way in the street. it sit well. it doesn't sit well. >> let me say, when had >> well, let me say, when i had my cancer diagnosis, there were protests me, and protests against me, and i supported people's right to protest in a democracy, protest because in a democracy, the right to protest is sacrosanct . and that includes sacrosanct. and that includes the right of people who i disagree with. i've defended the brexit their right disagree with. i've defended the briprotest, their right disagree with. i've defended the briprotest, even their right disagree with. i've defended the briprotest, even thoughr right to protest, even though i disagree with brexit. come back to issue. king charles and to this issue. king charles and princess kate, they are public servants, paid by the taxpayer . servants, paid by the taxpayer. they choose to put themselves in the public domain . therefore, the public domain. therefore, they cannot complain if people express opinions. and i think expressing an opinion about the rights or wrongs of the monarchy is perfectly valid in a

democracy. and on of this , democracy. and on top of this, you know, they are a very privileged, family privileged, wealthy family between them, they have a personal wealth of over £2 billion. >> so that's over 2 billion right then. is it. you know, he's he's getting he's getting chemotherapy or she's getting chemotherapy or she's getting chemotherapy . but they get to go chemotherapy. but they get to go and look at the gold. >> think we're losing sight of >> i think we're losing sight of this yet. no one's saying that you actually it's you can't actually protest. it's having and having a peaceful protest. and would better mannered ? would it not be better mannered? and if you're going to attract people your cause, is not people to your cause, is it not better quietly? not better to do it quietly? not when and the princess when the king and the princess of going through of wales are going through cancen of wales are going through cancer. can you not just back off a public way? you can off in a public way? you can still tweet and do what you do in private . you know, your in private. you know, your followers aren't going to change in is it not in that way, but is it not better to do it at a different time than what they're worth? >> people always say >> that's what people always say about protests. >> the right time. >> now is not the right time. that's the right way, as that's not the right way, as i have some sensibilities about this and think that there's two human people here at the centre of the story. >> yeah, yeah, who are going

through something really traumatic same time, traumatic and at the same time, i say this as well, i just want to say this as well, in defence of monarchy right in defence of the monarchy right now, and think both of you now, and i think both of you would this country would agree this country is going most going through some of the most turbulent ever turbulent times it's ever experienced. monarchy right experienced. the monarchy right now thing we now is the one stable thing we have that unifies country have that unifies this country and together it and keeps us together and it also represents on the world also represents us on the world stage. would you want to stage. why would you want to disrupt something that has worked well for this country since 1660? for 400 years? it's worked well for this country. why, when we're going through such a turbulent time, would you want to create more disruptive problems? i don't understand that, peter. this is not the right to be doing this. right time to be doing this. >> you're >> that's your opinion. you're entitled public entitled to it. but public support monarchy is support for the monarchy is massively declining. >> no it's not, no, it is not. >> that's not true . interrupt >> that's not true. interrupt me. >> don't interrupt me, peter. i let you 65. if you were to have a referendum. fail. a referendum. speed fail. >> woman. >> you're extremely rude, woman. let woman. i'm >> i'm not a rude woman. i'm saying you're interrupting me. >> you're interrupting me when i didn't okay the didn't interrupt you. okay the pubuc didn't interrupt you. okay the public opinion polls in support of are falling of the monarchy are falling among younger people. nearly 40%

want a democratically elected head state. that's the way head of state. that's the way the public opinion is going. and people have a right to express that view. and the idea that the monarchy unifying monarchy is this unifying influence is simply no longer true. support for prince charles himself has massively fallen in recent years . recent years. >> the princess of wales has now been voted the most popular woman in the world. so how has how their popularity? how how has their popularity? how has status fallen has their status fallen then when, people the when, when people around the world are interested in her story? she's never been so popular as what she is now. so that doesn't that's not compatible with what you're saying. >> what people around the world think is irrelevant. we are british people . we have a right british people. we have a right to choose our head of state. >> it's not fair. >> it's not fair. >> and in the last poll, only 15% were in favour. >> 20% didn't know, and 65% wanted to have a monarchy. as i said to you, peter, i just don't think 65% that's only not think 65% that's only just not even two thirds, even by your own statistic. >> and i dispute that even by your own majority, by your own, it's more than half.

christianity is now a minority belief in this country. but i would still argue we are a christian country. those, even those who don't necessarily attend church or don't profess a belief they are have sued in christian morals for a long time, so why does it matter? >> wednesday. can i just ask you, you know, look, why does it matter that we have happy ramadan on the busiest shopping street? uk. street? probably in the uk. i would it is oxford would imagine it is oxford street. does matter that street. why does it matter that we like even little we have things like even little things cross buns, things like hot cross buns, which, you know, visible symbol. you the cross on you know, it's got the cross on it. hot take bun. now, it. that's a hot take bun. now, apparently can't possibly apparently we can't possibly have does why does have that. why does it why does all this matter? the idea all of this matter? the idea that we've got the ramadan message departure board message on the departure board at and miraculously at king's cross and miraculously , for want of a better phrase, nobody seems to know that nobody seems to know where that came did it. why came from or who did it. why does all of this matter? >> well, not quite to >> well, it's not quite right to conflate the king's conflate it with the king's cross board . and this is because cross board. and this is because this particular the oxford street lights , the piccadilly street lights, the piccadilly circus to leicester square lights, you said, it's funded

lights, as you said, it's funded by the asif aziz foundation, a muslim billionaire. now what's why it's alarming is that britain has forgotten that it is a christian nation . it's a christian nation. it's actually more like a michelle welbeck book, like his famous book storm isha. and we're, we're so we've, we're just an apathetic nation. we've forgotten that we are christian. now i'll tell you why that's extremely important. it was john stuart mill who said that a national identity is based on collective we've been collective memory. we've been pummelled with pummelled for so long with diversity as our greatest strength, when in fact it is unity that is our greatest strength. if you don't have a sense of unity, a sad sense of nafion sense of unity, a sad sense of nation , and it has to be . a nation, and it has to be. a a christian one in that that is what that we are a christian nation. if you don't have that, you will have social disunity. it will come apart at the scenes. at the most important day in the christian calendar,

when christ overcame evil, he descended from heaven and conquered if cannot, conquered death. if we cannot, even if there's no one who wants to put easter celebration, easter lights up in our city, thatis easter lights up in our city, that is a sign of the apathy of a nation. and that is why it is extremely concerning . extremely concerning. >> do you think that certain people laugh at us when they see that we've got the ramadan lights down? oxford street, and they see that we've got a variety of different i variety of different things? i mean, aware that it was mean, i am aware that it was pakistan day, by the way, the other day over weekend. but, other day over the weekend. but, you the pakistani you know, hoisting the pakistani flag over westminster abbey dunng flag over westminster abbey during you think during lent, do you think that actually people mocking actually some people are mocking us? the pakistan flag , >> look, with the pakistan flag, that was because we were celebrating the commonwealth and pakistan are a commonwealth nation. now, if we should be proud about our commonwealth, it's great union of nations. it's a great union of nations. and it was people misunderstood that misconstrued what that was. there's also the case that we have got a serious islamist issue in the country, and we

have got a lot of dire consequences from the mass migration into the country. those are sick , pious things, those are sick, pious things, andifs those are sick, pious things, and it's possible that people are laughing at us. but i don't again, i don't necessarily think that this is an intentional attack on our nation. not to say that there aren't malevolent, malevolent forces who want to see britain and the west destroyed, but in this particular case, it is apathy. look at the church of england, where are they? why aren't they putting up lights to celebrate easter , where they're more easter, where they're more concerned with, virtue signalling, which, by the way, is against virtue signalling is an unchristian virtue. it's the opposite of . virtue. rather, opposite of. virtue. rather, they're more interested in, in saying, oh, we need to pay 100 million £1 billion to million or £1 billion to compensate their complicit compensate for their complicit complicity the slave complicity in the in the slave trade, not trade, for which there is not evidence. so the church evidence. so where is the church of where how is it that of england? where how is it that everyone's this everyone's forgotten what this nafion everyone's forgotten what this nation ? yeah, yeah. nation is about? yeah, yeah. >> no, exactly, exactly. we're

not combating it whatsoever. it appears. and, you know, i do occasionally like to look into the future, and i don't necessarily always like what i see. but i would just like to wish you, winston . anyway, a wish you, winston. anyway, a very, very happy easter. all the best to you and your family as well. and i hope to see you very, winston very, very soon as winston marshall , who is the marshall there, who is the former mumford and sons musician turned freedom turned podcaster and freedom fighter. right. okay. get your views coming in on this gb views or gbnews.com. speaking of or gbnews.com. well, speaking of easter, time is running out on your chance to win our spring giveaway. this will be a good present, wouldn't it? there's giveaway. this will be a good p|shopping»uldn't it? there's giveaway. this will be a good p|shopping spree. it? there's giveaway. this will be a good p|shopping spree. gadgets ere's a shopping spree. gadgets £12,345 in cash. lines close at 5 pm. tomorrow. here's all the details you'll need. >> it's the final week to see how you could win big. >> i'm charles, i'm on £18,000 cash.i >> i'm charles, i'm on £18,000 cash. i sent a text through my mobile phone. it was just amazing. as soon as it goes into your bank account, it's fantastic. >> there's a massive £12,345 in tax free cash to spend however

the way. but next, with public dissatisfaction in the nhs reaching record breaking highs, should be focusing reaching record breaking highs, sh(surveys be focusing reaching record breaking highs, sh(surveys of be focusing reaching record breaking highs, sh(surveys of staff be focusing reaching record breaking highs, sh(surveys of staff membersg on surveys of staff members sexualities ? and is crime in sexualities? and is crime in britain now totally out of control? former prisons minister ann widdecombe isn't holding

gb news. welcome to patrick christys. tonight on gb news. look. still to come. big story. this. and it's not going away. angela rayneris it's not going away. angela rayner is flat out refusing to share her tax history , but share her tax history, but starmer still says she has his full support, but he's now admitted he's not really looked into it himself. so should she resign if she's reinvestigated by the police? i've got a lot of info for you that's coming your way 10 pm, but first, it's way at 10 pm, but first, it's time one and only ann time for the one and only ann widdecombe the nhs. well, widdecombe and the nhs. well, it's crumbling, isn't it? all it's crumbling, isn't it? we all know continues to know that. but it continues to focus issues that don't focus on issues that don't really an lgbtqia+

really matter. so an lgbtqia+ voice network sending a survey to nhs workers asking if they are grey, romantic abrosexual or endo sexual endo sex. so for the uninitiated , which i imagine is uninitiated, which i imagine is most of the country grey romantic describes people who only experience sexual attraction rarely or under certain conditions. attraction rarely or under certain conditions . abrosexual certain conditions. abrosexual describes a sexuality that changes over time , and if your changes over time, and if your endo sex, your sexual characteristics fit the medical definition of a male and female. okay, but why does any of this matter the nhs is worth? didn't sanction survey, but they matter the nhs is worth? didn't sanyarguably survey, but they matter the nhs is worth? didn't sanyarguably allowy, but they matter the nhs is worth? didn't sanyarguably allow a but they matter the nhs is worth? didn't sanyarguably allow a woke1ey did arguably allow a woke culture infiltrate the health culture to infiltrate the health service real world. service back to the real world. it revealed earlier this it was revealed earlier this week dissatisfaction week that public dissatisfaction with a record with the nhs reached a record high, and is britain's woke nhs still fit for purpose ? still fit for purpose? >> no, but it hasn't been for a

long time. >> and it isn't just the wokeism, though that has made things worse. the strikes have made things but the big made things worse. but the big problem nhs , as i said, problem with the nhs, as i said, a very, long time ago, is a very, very long time ago, is that never designed to that it was never designed to cope what it has cope cope with what it has to cope with at moment . nye bevan with at the moment. nye bevan seriously thought that because we a national service we had a national health service we'd all get healthier, which we have, because we would have, but because we would all get healthier, demand would decline. so you've got a service that was set up on the presumption of declining demand, and demand is going towards infinity because of the take off of medical and surgical science. so even before all the woke rot, even before all the diversity stuff, which is taking precious resources and time from the nhs, even before all of that, it was doomed to eventually fail. and nobody's had the guts to say what we should do is ask a terribly simple question back, which is if we were designing this from scratch now with bevan's vision, which is that

nobody should ever be refused health services because they're too poor to afford it. if we were doing it now, what would we do? and nobody, nobody will get to grips with. >> i'll tell you what we do. we do an and it's and it's pretty obvious actually. we'd start by asking everybody what gender they are. we then decide that we had to have a racial quota. we would have some kind of fanfare out of that. we'd paint the whole thing in colours of a whole thing in the colours of a rainbow. would opened by rainbow. it would be opened by somebody, you who of somebody, you know, who is of a definitely of a, you know, particular ethnic persuasion. maybe something else going on as well. and then we decide whether or to bother to or not we wanted to bother to save lives. and i'm save anybody's lives. and i'm just to ask you a question just going to ask you a question here. now, don't expect here. now, i don't expect you to know answer this. know the answer to this. amazing. though, to amazing. if you do, though, to be director of be fair, the director of communications and engagement at the and transport the nhs blood and transport england department, they're advertising for a job, right? this taxpayers money. any this is taxpayers money. any ideas salary might be? ideas what that salary might be? >> it. no. tell me £131,000 a

year for a director of comms for a subsection of the nhs. >> i mean, it's this is we're dishing this out. we're dishing this money out all the time. you've got nhs chiefs at half a bar a year and they never get hauled before any commission to ask why on earth is public satisfaction with you so low . satisfaction with you so low. >> well, it's very obvious why pubuc >> well, it's very obvious why public satisfaction is so low . i public satisfaction is so low. i mean, only a couple of decades ago, people had the confidence that if they fell down in the street, an ambulance would turn up. i mean, now you can wait hours and hours for an ambulance, sometimes even days , ambulance, sometimes even days, and sometimes it doesn't come. and that destroys confidence. people used to go into a&e and get seen immediately if it was serious. now that still happens to a certain extent, but it also happens that people can wait for a very time and we know, a very long time and we know, therefore, that what's happening

is people's confidence is declining. i mean, look at gp services , you know, i have from services, you know, i have from the times when you could just ring up a gp and he would call or you could go along to his surgery without booking any appointment. now, you know, if you can see your gp within fortnight. >> yeah. oh well it's six months for an appointment to see a specialist . and the gp hadn't specialist. and the gp hadn't actually sent over the results of ultrasound soon. so he's of an ultrasound soon. so he's just reading it off a screen, which me with confidence. which filled me with confidence. but anyway but there we go. anyway something else that doesn't fill me much confidence. and me with too much confidence. and by man was arrested by the way, a man was arrested in london after two in london today after two commuters a tube commuters were stabbed at a tube station night. this station last night. so this came just footage of just hours after footage of a man allegedly stabbing another passenger zombie knife passenger with a zombie knife circulated in south circulated again in south london. a 19 year old suspect has since been arrested, but in east london, a serial sex attacker remains on the loose. now, this story makes my blood boil. police hunting this man over at least five sexual assaults, which have been occurring since january . the

occurring since january. the youngest victim is apparently just 12 years old. allegedly so. at is crime in britain now spiralling out of control? and when your your current party now reform they say well i want my country back. has this got anything to do with it. >> yes it has. when we say we want our country back, you know, we want an nhs which works, we want an education service which is rigorous, want tax is rigorous, we want a tax system encourages system which encourages enterprise, not discourages it. and of course, we want our country back in terms of we want to feel that it's safe to be out on the streets. we want to see policemen out. i mean, how often do you see a policeman when ever i'm doing talks, i always begin by saying, right, you know, when did see a policeman, did you last see a policeman, and it is common sense that a visible presence on the streets is a deterrent. no presence at all is just a license to commit crime . crime. >> no, indeed. and what do you actually blame for this breakdown in law and order? is

there's a numerous different arguments. you could say, well, there's fewer bobbies on the beat. obviously that's got something to with it, something to do with it, obviously, there has to be obviously, but there has to be other issues at play here. and, you has be you know, there has to be cultural society, all familial issues, the home, issues, problems in the home, for example. i mean, you know, i could have gone my entire life having never met a police officer, but i'll be honest with you, i've just got no inclination to pick up a knife and use it in anger. anyway right. so it wouldn't have affected me. that's affected me. maybe that's because nice home because i had quite a nice home life. what your life. i don't know what are your views on that? >> well, i think certainly the breakdown of family plays breakdown of the family plays a tremendous the tremendous part. so does the breakdown neighbourhoods breakdown of neighbourhoods and communities breakdown of neighbourhoods and commurconsensus about what general consensus about what is right and what is wrong, which certainly in the 50s and 60s you were brought up to know, you know, this is this is right and thatis know, this is this is right and that is wrong, know, this is this is right and that is wrong , that now just that is wrong, that now just doesn't exist. i have talked to people who carry knives. i actually did a documentary, on, knife crime and gang crime, and

people admitted to using knives and they admitted it. patrick, without any compunction at all. and when you ask them why they had done it, it would be something completely trivial. >> yeah, indeed, indeed. and the other thing underpinning all of this is i really do think we need more prisons. you know, we have i have an astonishing interview , by the way, which is interview, by the way, which is going out tomorrow. so it's a very early tease. this everybody who's watching at home, but we robert jenrick the former immigration minister who has been the numbers and been through the numbers and some of the people in this country who are still avoiding prison have more than 40 convictions and they're still not in prison. and that is absolutely baffling. and, you know, would you build more prisons, would reform, build more prisons ? more prisons? >> reform would certainly build more prisons. reform is committed to building more prisons. and the fact is that

when i was in exactly this situation, when i was prisons minister and there was a 25% rise in the prison population, and i didn't just put my hands up and say, well, we can't have people in prison. i brought in a prison ship from united prison ship from the united states. brought . prison ship from the united states. brought. in cabins states. i brought. in cabins from disused norwegian oil rigs, put them down in in medium security prisons. there were all manner of things that could be doneif manner of things that could be done if you just had the will. what's the is what's happening is the will is completely people have completely missing. people have given government . is given up and government. is very, very complacent. it will churn out statistics and say, oh, look, we're doing something they're not. now look, thank you very, very much, ann widdecombe there. >> now look coming up with a record breaking number of channel in the first channel crossings in the first three this and three months of this year. and the home office caught up in another for legal another visa. balls up for legal migrants. is rishi sunak actually migration actually taking mass migration seriously ? i've got tory mp paul seriously? i've got tory mp paul scully going up against former ukip leader henry bolton in

tonight's second head to head, but next, with rayner refusing to over her to reveal tax advice over her council sale, says council house sale, starmer says that his full that she still has his full support. but should she follow the same standard that she personally set for boris johnson and resign if she's investigated by police? i've seen quite astonishing video coming your way just a minute or two. way in just a minute or two. that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> hello, very good evening to you. welcome to your latest gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. there will be some showers will still be some showers around this weekend, but generally through the easter penod is generally through the easter period is to bit period it is going to be a bit dner period it is going to be a bit drier and bit warmer than it drier and a bit warmer than it has late. pressure has been of late. low pressure still in control like it has been of this been through much of this week, but flow the low is but the flow around the low is going ease a little bit so we going to ease a little bit so we will see our winds easing. that being said, through the end of today for today still quite blustery for many some heavy, showery many of us. some heavy, showery rain northern areas.

crashing down. next. >> patrick. thank you and good evening to you. well, the top story from the gb newsroom tonight is that the uk's largest water company has been left racing to secure funding after its investors withdrew a £500 million lifeline that was due at the end of this month. it's after thames water handed out millions of pounds worth of dividends to shareholders and bonuses top executives. now bonuses to top executives. now bosses have admitted their cash crisis could lead to the firm's emergency nationalisation and to plug emergency nationalisation and to plug the major funding . gap plug the major funding. gap shareholders, which include foreign wealth funds from china and abu dhabi, want to increase customers bills, something the regulator has so far pushed back on. well, the water giant is also backlash from also facing a backlash from campaigners , who said there are campaigners, who said there are mind boggling quantities of untreated sewage discharging into the thames. some 72,000,000,000l just in one year between 2022 and 2023.

government minister michael gove has blamed the government for the firm's problems, calling their disgrace . their failure a disgrace. >> for years now we've seen the customers thames water taken customers of thames water taken advantage of by successive management teams that have been taking out profits and not investing as they should have been. so the answer is not to hit the consumers. the answer is for management to look for the management team to look to approach and ask to their own approach and ask themselves why they're this themselves why they're in this difficult situation. and of course, the answer is because of serious mismanagement for which they must carry the can. >> michael gove, now under 600 border force officers at heathrow airport, are set to go on strike for four days starting on strike for four days starting on the 11th of april. in a recent vote, 90% of union members at the uk's busiest airport backed the walkout over new shift pattern changes . the new shift pattern changes. the pcs union suggests the changes could see as many as 250 staff forced out of their jobs, their demanding for the plans to be withdrawn now calling it unprofessional and even inhumane

over the gaza ceasefire row, is absolutely squirming over this. here he is this morning. >> she's not broken any rules. she's in fact taken legal and tax advice, which has satisfied her and us and me and gone. >> now, how can it satisfy him ? >> now, how can it satisfy him? because here he is telling our political editor, christopher hope. just moments later that he hasn't seen her tax for hasn't seen her tax affairs for himself . himself. >> and cleared. but you >> and she's cleared. but you haven't to see actual haven't asked to see the actual evidence is cleared. evidence to show she is cleared. >> it's not >> i don't need to. it's not appropriate see that appropriate for me to see that legal advice. he's legal advice. so he's deliberately refusing to see the evidence. the only evidence. i mean, the only reason you would do that is if you want be able to wash your you want to be able to wash your hands of it. if it all goes wrong, surely. i mean, he wasn't saying this when a tory politician was under the cosh from hmrc and reign is now using this bizarre line. she's saying that her that she'll publish her tax affairs the tories publish theirs. >> t- t we are t— t we are going to have >> happy if we are going to have a level playing field we a level playing field and we suddenly decide that conservative ministers need to hand their tax affairs, i'm hand over their tax affairs, i'm happy to. if you show me yours and i'll show you mine , well, and i'll show you mine, well, hang on, the police aren't

currently reassessing whether or not to get involved in any tory tax affairs, are they? >> as far as we know. anyway, miss rayner, a bit of deflection doesn't change the that doesn't change the fact that there well be a capital there may well be a capital gains a second home, gains issue on a second home, and the police well not have and the police may well not have investigated that properly and spoken key witnesses spoken to key witnesses or indeed evidence. indeed seen key evidence. i mean, keep saying mean, she can't just keep saying this allegations this since those allegations were put to me, i got expert advice because i had advised at the time, i don't i don't have an accountant. >> i was a home care worker, you know, didn't have an know, i didn't have an accountant. had, most accountant. i had, as most people . you put your house people would. you put your house on market, get a legal on the market, you get a legal conveyancing solicitor and you get an estate agent. but since those allegations were put to me, i got expert tax advice to make sure that i hadn't done anything wrong . anything wrong. >> publish it, then go on. the problem for angela rayner is that a she would not stand for her own excuses if she was deaung her own excuses if she was dealing with a tory, and b she

has quite a long track record of calling for other people to go. here talking about boris. here she is talking about boris. >> he can't ask answer a simple question was you at this question of was you at this party, at your or not? party, at your residence or not? dufing party, at your residence or not? during lockdown, when people weren't able to see their loved ones who were dying? it's pretty despicable treated the despicable that he's treated the british contempt british public with contempt by not question not answering that question and trying the sue trying to hide behind the sue greys investigation. this allegation serious for allegation is very serious for the minister. it's very the prime minister. it's a very simple she there the prime minister. it's a very sirnot? she there the prime minister. it's a very sirnot? if she there the prime minister. it's a very sirnot? if he she there the prime minister. it's a very sirnot? if he was she there the prime minister. it's a very sirnot? if he was there,ere or not? and if he was there, then his position untenable . then his position is untenable. >> the public with >> treating the public with contempt, behind an contempt, hiding behind an investigation. are we investigation. who are we talking ms rayner ? talking about here, ms rayner? well, it's turning into a farce now, isn't it? it's worth noting this. okay nobody is asking angela rayner to publish 15 years of her own personal years worth of her own personal tax she has simply tax affairs. she has simply being to explain why she being asked to explain why she remained electoral remained on the electoral register at an address which she didn't live in for five years, to according her neighbours. it's quite simple. it's also worth noting that the deputy leader of the labour party is elected directly by the members,

which means that if angela rayner goes and someone like, oh, i don't know, maybe zarah sultana decided to stand someone who was publicly slammed keir starmer over gaza, someone who really represents the old corbyn days of the party. well, that could be a big issue, couldn't it? could this be why keir starmer is refusing to say that angela rayner should quit if she is investigated by police? is investigated by the police? >> launch a formal >> the police do launch a formal investigation should she resign, stand well, stand back from herjob. well, chris, get into hypotheticals. >> been this road >> we've been down this road many, many times before, look, we, have made their we, the police, have made their decision. now get decision. they need to now get on the decision. and the on with the decision. and the process going through. so, yes or no, then what's >> so, yes or no, then what's going on there? i'm a bit confused. angela rayner has repeatedly spoken about honesty and called for and integrity and called for others down, her others to stand down, her chickens coming to their chickens now coming to their second homes to roost. let's get the thoughts panel this the thoughts of my panel this evening. and it's a good one. it's telegraph columnist it's daily telegraph columnist allison , founding

allison pearson, founding chairman of global britain, amman bhogal, and former labour party adviser. it's matthew larzer allison. show us your papers, angela. >> i don't think she should resign. she's got a track record of bellyaching about everyone and saying everyone's position is untenable. nadhim zahawi over his tax affairs . is untenable. nadhim zahawi over his tax affairs. boris, you couldn't leave boris alone. look, i think i don't like that playground politics particularly. i think that the issue here is greater manchester police, it was brought to their attention, this quite serious potential financial irregularity. and they looked into perhaps left it in into it or perhaps left it in the intro for seven days and they said no case to answer. clearly, no investigation had taken place all. and now it's taken place at all. and now it's been kicked back to them. they haven't interviewed the neighbour who has said that angela was not living in this house years, which she house for five years, which she then and would have then sold and which would have been capital gains been liable for capital gains tax. i think the issue here tax. so i think the issue here is, is favouritism in is, is there favouritism in policing ? is this a local labour policing? is this a local labour

mp who's getting a bit, you know, the police are saying, oh, nothing to see, nothing to see here. so i don't think she should resign. but i think it is, it is potentially very disgraceful. it's extremely disgraceful. and it's extremely uncomfortable for the labour party. i think it could party. and i think it could change her image. patrick i think that's the worst thing for laboun think that's the worst thing for labour. she's very popular with working people. if it turns out she's no better than any of the conservatives who've been fiddling tax affairs, fiddling their tax affairs, then, then she's going to take a dent to her popularity. she's going to emphasise again angela raynen going to emphasise again angela rayner, quite clearly, as we did here multiple times there denies any etc. any wrongdoing, etc. >> is can you >> the question is what can you prove? it you know, maybe she should able to a man. i'll should be able to a man. i'll ask you. angela ask you. as angela rayner refused her advice refused to reveal her tax advice over sale . you over the council house sale. you know, should she resign? >> look, think it's only fair >> look, i think it's only fair to say that rayner is, to say that angela rayner is, held for the same held to account for the same standards has been demanding standards she has been demanding of politicians. of conservative politicians. i mean asking to mean, she was asking people to resign, being found to resign, not for being found to be guilty of anything just for being let's being investigated. let's remember that. but i think the

bigger story here is, in fact, the absolute supine jelly that is starmer for not being is keir starmer for not being able to deal with such a very simple shut in open case. look, if you want to be the party of government, then let's have some integrity. have some integrity. let's have some honesty. let's have not the brass that they're showing . brass neck that they're showing. >> i mean, keir >> that's true. i mean, keir starmer deliberately >> that's true. i mean, keir starmerat deliberately >> that's true. i mean, keir starmerat this berately >> that's true. i mean, keir starmerat this himself. he's looking at this himself. he's admitted that. no. >> mean look i don't see >> well, i mean look i don't see why would at it. my why keir would look at it. my understanding is that understanding is, is that the deputy leader of his party. >> yeah. deputy leader of his party. >> because he's not there sit >> because he's not there to sit in jury over a tax in judge or jury over a tax affairs. so should she resign? absolutely not. moment. absolutely not. at the moment. she been guilty of she hasn't been found guilty of anything. been anything. she hasn't been charged with anything. the police have another charged with anything. the polic at have another charged with anything. the polic at this. have another charged with anything. the policat this. and have another charged with anything. the polic at this. and just ive another charged with anything. the polic at this. and just like nother look at this. and just like when keir investigated keir was investigated over so—called curry gate or beergate, course he shouldn't beergate, of course he shouldn't have interim. have resigned in the interim. you wait for the investigation and investigation you wait for the investigation and out, investigation you wait for the investigation and out, what1vestigation you wait for the investigation and out, what1v

obviously, out obviously, if anything came out of investigation, that did of that investigation, that did condemn it, then that would be a different story. but i don't think there will be anything. i suspect what's happened is suspect what's happened here is that is, keir's that sue gray, who is, keir's chief who the head that sue gray, who is, keir's ch ethics who the head that sue gray, who is, keir's ch ethics for who the head that sue gray, who is, keir's ch ethics for , who the head that sue gray, who is, keir's ch ethics for , you the head that sue gray, who is, keir's ch ethics for , you know, head that sue gray, who is, keir's ch ethics for , you know, years of ethics for, you know, years and years in the cabinet office has been through this tax advice and it is. can we just say and found it is. can we just say it's three and a half grand? okay. let's just remember that the minister's a the prime minister's wife was a non—dom country, for non—dom in this country, for years years. and years and years and years. and the who's the guy paid the guy who's the guy who paid nothing there's the guy who's the guy who paid nothing illegal there's the guy who's the guy who paid nothing illegal 1that.s the guy who's the guy who paid nothing illegal 1that. but nothing illegal with that. but millions of working people were found uncomfortable, found that pretty uncomfortable, did of millions of >> millions of millions of people. >> yeah. that's why the tories have down on have just cracked down on non—dom taking labour's non—dom is taking labour's policy about tax fairness. >> angela's hair extensions must be at least ten grand. >> well who can, who can, who can forget paid for out of tax income. >> not the labour party can forget her. >> allegedly. >> allegedly. >> well we hope well, look, i think i think we've heard today that angela is already in that angela rayner is already in the setting up the the midst of setting up the resetting the for office resetting up the for office deputy minister. deputy shadow prime minister. so i more to this i think there's more to this than than we can that you

than than we can see that you know, this is more about keir starmer having the guts. oh no, it needs to be properly looked at. >> we can't she can't be she can't be hung out to dry on the bafis can't be hung out to dry on the basis that one neighbours told michael ashcroft, who himself was non—dom for 20 years. michael ashcroft, who himself wasit'sion—dom for 20 years. michael ashcroft, who himself wasit'sion—ydifficult,0 years. michael ashcroft, who himself wasit'sion—ydifficult, isn'tars. >> it's very difficult, isn't it? what if that neighbour, it? for what if that neighbour, to get any kind of transparency on she's refusing to on this when she's refusing to do starmer, the do anything? keir starmer, the labour refusing labour leader, is refusing to actually and because actually look at it and because it's the to look at it's for the police to look at it. alison, made you it. patrick alison, you made you made earlier on that you made a point earlier on that you think that maybe we have two tier policing, just when it tier policing, not just when it comes pro—palestine protest, comes to pro—palestine protest, but when comes to left but when it comes to left wingers well. wingers as well. >> i do think so. >> yeah, yeah, i do think so. i'm not sure how the beergate durham was handled. i think durham was was handled. i think they're honestly, they're still quite honestly, i still very bad still think it was a very bad smell off that. but smell coming off that. but who was present double was present and oh, double double compared to double standards compared to what you know, going over what boris, you know, going over a birthday cake and what a bit of birthday cake and what they were doing, working, you know, all standing up, drinking. anyway, revisit that. anyway, let's not revisit that. but wonder. i think but yeah, you do wonder. i think it was wrong of greater manchester police to have this

complaint and to very quickly come back and say no case. >> i mean, i agree with you that it just seemed to be done very quickly. it needs to be investigated properly by the police. if as an accusation has been made and let's see what the police say, it's not for keir to investigate it. it's not for us to investigate it here. now the police are looking at it. >> fully she's fully don't >> she's fully she's fully don't think that the leader of the labour party should at least look himself, because he look at it himself, because he is around saying is going around saying it satisfied me . and then he was satisfied me. and then he was asked, well, how's it satisfied? >> i think it satisfied his, his his, his his team because and he's, he's decided. so you're running so you're, you're running so you're, you're running right. running a business right. >> something goes on >> and something goes on underneath you don't at underneath you don't look at that. if you're one of your team goes, oh that's absolutely kosher that matthew don't worry about just swallow that, about it. you just swallow that, do you. you don't carry the can for. >> no, i think i think you have the it's called it's called leadership to have the right

person to do the woman who person to do it. the woman who was head of ethics was the head of ethics for a decade cabinet office is decade at the cabinet office is quite rightly, the right person to look at it. the other thing is, if for any reason, if yes, if for any reason, if any reason . angela wasn't the deputy leader of the party, the idea that zarah sultana would even get on the ballot paper is nonsense, right? and i hope she carries on. so do you . feel that carries on. so do you. feel that it would be a moderate morally and quietly on this? >> i mean, do you feel reassured that the woman who was responsible for the partygate investigation now is now investigation is now is now saying everything's okay? >> sue gray? >> sue gray? >> i mean, she did ten years and nobody criticised her for ten years. >> well,

next. welcome back to patrick christys. tonight on gb news. still to come . tonight's panel still to come. tonight's panel are primed and ready to get stuck into the very first of tomorrow's newspaper front pages. but first, does rishi sunak really care about mass immigration? it's time for a second head to head. yes, well,

the prime minister's infamous pledge to stop the boats obviously isn't going very well, is it? it's a record breaking number of arrivals across the channelin number of arrivals across the channel in the first three months of this year, and legal immigration isn't going much better after record breaking net migration figures last year, we learned this week that the home office had granted visas to 275 immigrants to work in a care home that didn't exist. meanwhile, we've been asking the ministry of justice for weeks to provide us with detailed figures on specifics, such as how many asylum seekers have committed sexual assaults in britain . sexual assaults in britain. well, they yet to provide us with this information. in fact , with this information. in fact, we actually offered to pay for it ourselves . and still they it ourselves. and still they said no. rishi sunak is now passing the blame for his record as prime minister, saying that he was given a hospital pass when he took over from boris johnson. so tonight i'm asking, does rishi sunak actually care about mass immigration? well,

going head to head on this are tory mp paul scully and former ukip leader henry bolton . ukip leader henry bolton. shapps. thank you very much. great to have you on the show. pauli great to have you on the show. paul i mean, jenrick has paul i mean, robert jenrick has come and said that rishi come out and said that rishi sunak with sunak only went ahead with a package of immigration measures because he threatened to quit. i mean, does sunak care ? mean, does sunak care? >> no, he does care. >> no, he does care. >> he does care about immigration. but there's clearly more we can do. so i think the you know, the premise of your question is, of course he does. it's and what it was in these five pledges for a reason. it was the bottom one of the five pledges in terms of stopping the boats, because it the boats, because it was the hardest one to frankly. and hardest one to do, frankly. and so, we are dying on a hill so, yes, we are dying on a hill thatis so, yes, we are dying on a hill that is really to to, that is really difficult to to, sort we to do sort out. but what we need to do about first of all, about it is, first of all, illegal immigration. get that rwanda bill through. not rwanda bill through. it's not a single solution, does single solution, but it does act as a deterrent current as a deterrent on current projections. you actually projections. if you can actually reduce, people coming reduce, are the people coming out by something like reduce, are the people coming outhen by something like reduce, are the people coming outhen the by something like reduce, are the people coming outhen the costsomething like reduce, are the people coming outhen the costs of|ething like reduce, are the people coming outhen the costs of rwandaike reduce, are the people coming outhen the costs of rwanda are 2, then the costs of rwanda are covered anyway, in terms of legal clearly do legal migration, clearly we do need some legal, some, some

migration. but at 672,000 way too high. so tackling the, dependencies that we've been doing , and dependencies that we've been doing, and other measures, dependencies that we've been doing , and other measures, these doing, and other measures, these are things that do take time to come into the system and work their way through the system . their way through the system. >> they do take time. but, henry, i'll throw it over to you. have got you. i mean, we have got a former immigration minister saying that he was trying to talk to the minister talk to the prime minister at their fortnightly meetings about immigration, and the prime minister was refusing. >> yeah, and not just robert jenrick , also suella braverman, jenrick, also suella braverman, when she was home secretary, was trying to have conversations with him about this. so she says and, wasn't able to, to have those conversations, to me those conversations, which to me shows of shows a distinct lack of engagement from the prime minister's point view. minister's point of view. >> okay let's let's be fair. >> prime minister's a busy man. he's got a lot on his plates, but this was one of his five pledges. and unless he's totally out of touch with the british people, he should be aware that it it be it might be it it might be the it might be the fifth on list, but, but the fifth on his list, but, but it's about highest for the

it's about the highest for the british people, so think that british people, so i think that demonstrates a lack of engagement. and i'm going to disagree slightly. i mean, there is this prevalent idea , in is this this prevalent idea, in parliament, being encouraged, i think, by officials and the general bureaucracy that these that measures to deal with immigration take a long time to go through to sort of come through the pipe , if you like. through the pipe, if you like. some of them do things like rwanda. most certainly as we've seen but i've helped 14 seen do. but i've helped 14 countries rewrite, redevelop countries to rewrite, redevelop or reform their entire air land and maritime borders to deal with such things as prolific opiate smuggling from afghanistan into central asia, that sort of thing, and, and counter—terror schism in the united states. it can be done. and it can be done in eight months. >> okay. all right , paul, i'll >> okay. all right, paul, i'll throw it over to you. i mean, is it not fair to say really .

that essentially the conservative party . party. has just been addicted to the teat of mass migration . and

the teat of mass migration. and the teat of mass migration. and the treasury? the treasury won't let you deviate . let you deviate. >> i don't know, i don't think you govern. the government has i mean, you've seen, first of all, going back to the split between legal and illegal, you've a legal and illegal, you've seen a massive around europe on massive spike around europe on illegal migration. and whereas we've managed to cut , illegal migration. and whereas we've managed to cut, you illegal migration. and whereas we've managed to cut , you know, we've managed to cut, you know, although as you reported, the high level of, numbers at the moment, we have cut some routes from albania , notably those kind from albania, notably those kind of things, whereas in other areas it's still going up around italy and the mediterranean. it's still going up quite considerably in terms of legal migration. as a country , we migration. we as a country, we have been, dependent, overly dependent on legal migration for a number of years. as i said , we a number of years. as i said, we do need some, but there's the default option for a lot of companies and public sector to go internationally to try and find jobs rather than looking at domestic trading, rather, and

then and then finding the skills that we want. all right. >> look, just just before i go back to henry paul, i've got to ask, you know, you say it takes time and things that, and time and things like that, and i'm whether or not the i'm asking whether or not the prime cares. mean, prime minister cares. i mean, with respect. given with respect. you've given up, haven't running again. >> i'm not standing again. yeah, but that's not about migration . but that's not about migration. i mean, you know, there's there is a psychodrama in the tory party, but that's separate from migration, to be honest, so, you know, that's about the next five years. do deeply years. so but i do care deeply about for the reasons about this for the reasons that henry i'm the son henry says. but i'm also the son of as well. my dad of a migrant as well. my dad came over from burma, when he was seen the good side was 18. i've seen the good side of of migration, and that was of my of migration, and that was economic but, of my of migration, and that was ec0|you c but, of my of migration, and that was ec0|you can't but, of my of migration, and that was ec0|you can't have but, of my of migration, and that was ec0|you can't have uncontrolled, but you can't have uncontrolled, unmanaged, make sure that we you've got to make sure that we lean into that. i do when i yes, he does care about that. but then when he's having a then when i see he's having a hospital pass from boris, i disagree got to disagree with that. we've got to manage expectations and we've got know, avoid got to come up. you know, avoid those really, frankly those kind of really, frankly unhelpful phrases. >> final >> yeah. henry. look, final final to you on this. final word to you on this. we're going to have to be quite snappy. just ask you, do snappy. can i just ask you, do you that the

snappy. can i just ask you, do you should that the snappy. can i just ask you, do you should telling that the snappy. can i just ask you, do you should telling thet the moj should be telling the country asylum seekers country how many asylum seekers have assault? have committed sexual assault? >> need to have >> i think we need to have a national discussion this. >> i think we need to have a natineed discussion this. >> i think we need to have a natineed to cussion this. >> i think we need to have a natineed to know n this. >> i think we need to have a natineed to know the this. >> i think we need to have a natineed to know the facts.1is. >> i think we need to have a natineed to know the facts. there we need to know the facts. there needs transparency. needs to be transparency. absolutely. when i was a police officer, 25 years officer, there was a 25 years ago, a scandal about ago, there was a scandal about this. constables this. some chief constables had to were to resign because they were saying communities saying that certain communities had a propensity towards different types of crime. every community has a propensity towards community has a propensity toward that's fact. it crime, that's a fact. and it vanes crime, that's a fact. and it varies and to varies from town and city to city. cannot city. but if we cannot acknowledge can't acknowledge that, if we can't talk we can't talk about that, if we can't define problem, then we define the problem, then we can't solve it. we can't define the solution. we've got to have a about if a conversation about it. and if political correctness stops us doing that, political correctness is putting the pubuc correctness is putting the public both thank you correctness is putting the publivery)oth thank you correctness is putting the publi very much thank you correctness is putting the publi very much for thank you correctness is putting the publi very much for giving|k you correctness is putting the publi very much for giving up'ou very, very much for giving up at least a your thursday least a chunk of your thursday night. either way, i know that our very our viewers will feel very, very grateful you. our viewers will feel very, very gra' right. you. our viewers will feel very, very gra' right. look, you. our viewers will feel very, very gra' right. look, i've. all right. now, look, as i've been ministry been saying, the ministry of justice refusing release justice is refusing to release stats despite us here at gb news offering their costs. stats despite us here at gb news offeriturned their costs. stats despite us here at gb news offeriturned down 1eir costs. stats despite us here at gb news offeriturned down 1e freedom they turned down a freedom of information because information request because they said so said it would cost too much. so we lads. we said, that's all right, lads. don't we'll don't worry about it. we'll pay. and it's not and they said, oh, no, it's not really well, really about the money. well, we will you will keep fighting for you because deserve know. because you deserve to know. or aren't know aren't you deserve to know how many asylum seekers have committed many asylum seekers have committec be problem. might not be a big problem. it might not be a big problem. it might but might be a very big problem. but there might be another solution for robert jenrick for you which robert jenrick will reveal night will reveal tomorrow night in a tv exclusive interview right here little here on my show. here's a little flavour

whatever smashed their opposition team ten nil, with one of the biological men scoring six goals in one game. the team that boast about being the biggest lgbtqi+ women's and non—binary football club in the world. i think that means they've got the most male players, there go one players, but there we go one every during the four week every match during the four week beryl cup. well, to top beryl ackroyd cup. well, to top it all off, the team broke an opposition player's leg in two places. seriously i mean, how ever concerned female rivals were warned that forfeiting games against the bats will be a form of discrimination? so alison, i mean, how many legs need to be broken before this is brought to halt? do you think? brought to a halt? do you think? >> there's farcical >> i know there's a farcical element i do think element to this, but i do think a woman is going to die right? i do think one of these trans people is going to end up smashing into a female. and they will die, and then it will all.

thenit will die, and then it will all. then it will become, people will say, did we never this say, why did we never see this coming? coming coming? we can see this coming now. absolutely shocking. now. it's absolutely shocking. i mean, i mean, we're mad enough over here. australia gone over here. australia has gone stark quite stark staring bonkers. quite frankly. the frankly. i know some of the parents of some of the girls that were going to be playing against are really they against are really angry. they weren't about but against are really angry. they werjust, about but against are really angry. they werjust, you about but against are really angry. they werjust, you know, bout but against are really angry. they werjust, you know, it's! but it's just, you know, it's absolutely. i'm actually i'm lost for words. i'm just i'm just upset about this. just quite upset about this. i am really upset of am really upset about it. of course about it course you're upset about it because, you get young because, you know, we get young women at the women training, competing at the highest level, doing their best, and they bring in five blokes, you know, called tracy , and they you know, called tracy, and they think that they can just play with them. they can't. they by a lot. the advantage that men get from through male puberty from going through male puberty can never be erased, however much , or oestrogen or whatever much, or oestrogen or whatever they take or however they dress and so on. so this is disgraceful and it's farcical, but also dangerous. but it's also dangerous. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, it is it is dangerous. and you know, the irony in all of this, i suppose, is that we keep being told,

don't we? well, this stuff is okay because there's no real difference between the different genders. and yet every time this happens, we see the difference between genders. happens, we see the difference bet exactly. genders. happens, we see the difference bet exactly. look,iers. it's >> exactly. look, i think it's pretty as i'm pretty simple as far as i'm concerned. another concerned. this is another affront of affront to the very idea of women, of womanhood and the rights of women and girls to. i'm so upset. >> i think it's exactly. >> i think it's exactly. >> and you know what? i think this is something that is prevalent across the west right now. and i would say the global south are laughing at us. they're saying, while you're busy with this tomfoolery . look busy with this tomfoolery. look at what china is trying to do. look at the way economic growth is charging india ahead and the west is stuck in. i agree with you completely fronting women's rights. >> i agree with you completely. absolutely. they must be laughing at us. look, matthew, your views on i you your views on this. i mean, you know, i suppose the argument might be that, know, might be that, you know, i suppose what what team was going to say? what team are this all going play mean, it is to say? what team are this all goirmen'slay mean, it is to say? what team are this all goirmen'slay isn't ean, it is to say? what team are this all goirmen'slay isn't it.1, it is to say? what team are this all goirmen'slay isn't it. but is the men's team, isn't it. but your the men's team, isn't it. but youwell, i i think it >> well, i mean, i think it should be up to individual

sports decision. sports to make the decision. because clearly different sports should have different, different rules. i mean, i think chess, you know, you know, it's, you know, one thing, whereas know, it's one thing, whereas rugby another. so does rugby is another. so this does seem , on first seem uncomfortable, on first reading, i think actually lgbt sport has been has been a big success. you know, like, you know, it was a huge breakthrough when you had, you gay when you had, you know, gay rugby compete , rugby team starting to compete, in rugby. and it changes sport. it changes attitudes. generally. but this is a different story. and it does to me that and it does seem to me that it may unfair on a may be a bit unfair on a physical level. so sports governing grip. >> okay . all right. now gb news >> okay. all right. now gb news very is having very own lee anderson is having some net zero beef with just stop funder and eco activist stop oil funder and eco activist dale vince. all of this started when lee posted this video. >> what if cut me lawns with this electric lawn mower? he's got batteries on lawn. look at that. got batteries on lawn. look at that . that's net at that. that's net zero at its finest . trouble is, i've charged finest. trouble is, i've charged this up early on today , and this up early on today, and probably electricity has come from ratcliffe power station.
