back to. patrick. >> there is a trojan horse in britain. hardline muslims , who britain. hardline muslims, who will be content to send us back to the dark ages with sharia law . it's emerged that several prominent in british prominent figures in the british muslim community praised the taliban. between they taliban. between them, they said, the taliban were beautiful. they felt free in afghanistan and defended their treatment of women. can i just make the point that the taliban stones women to death flogs them? people come from miles around to view the stonings and the over the the floggings. girls over the age of 12 have been mostly excluded school, and the excluded from school, and the government has also stopped most afghan working afghan female staff from working at aid agencies. they've closed beauty salons, banned women from pubuc beauty salons, banned women from public spaces like parks and gyms, and curtailed travel for women in the absence of a male guardian. despite this, hamid mahmood, the founder of an islamic girls school in east london, told an audience of the freedom he felt in afghanistan. it was somewhat quite sad and painful as an experience leaving that land, because i will be very honest and i've said this

very honest and i've said this very clearly that there was something there, a feeling of outright freedom . he can go and outright freedom. he can go and live there if you want, i. here are some of the things being said about the taliban. >> the afghan government, okay. they have a focus because and after si king to many ministers, we realised what freedom meant. >> okay, don't think that we are not. it's not an education. but there are priorities . there are priorities. >> one of them is reportedly haytham al—haddad, who said western secular influences were being driven into the minds of the students who were speaking against the sharia and many vices were creeping in. when it isfime vices were creeping in. when it is time to rebuild the country, we cannot tolerate division and therefore temporary suspension of liberal secular education took place . right, okay, we have took place. right, okay, we have that over here, though , don't that over here, though, don't we? the old western set anyway, according to newspaper reports, haddad was previously described as one of the most dangerous men

in britain, said that being gay was a scourge and a criminal act. he reportedly said the japanese in 2011, which japanese tsunami in 2011, which killed more than 15,000 people, was a just punishment for the country not being muslim. on child marriage. he reportedly said the earlier the better, especially for girls. but you have to be careful of the legal issues. these people walk amongst us, mufti ismail satir told the 250 persons strong crowd at queen mary's university in london. we went to afghanistan with a very open mind. it brought back to me the stories of the shabir companions of prophet muhammad that we read. they reminded me of those who sacrificed for islam and those who were willing to do anything for islam. people might say this is just few fringe say this is just a few fringe people who don't really mean any harm. okay fair enough. so why was it that an extremist hate cleric called inayatullah abbasi, who said if anybody dares to criticise our prophet muhammad, that person should be declared as a disbeliever and

hence his or her head should be chopped off. why was it that he was able to come from bangladesh and big crowds in and draw big crowds in nottingham? he was set to draw a big crowd in london until gb news stepped in, alerted the home sent on home office and he was sent on his they can draw crowds his way. they can draw crowds because a market for because there is a market for them against some elements of them against some elements of the muslim community. in britain, the taxpayer has been funding the counter—terror prevent programme. a report found that key figures in organised is funded by prevent are alleged to have supported the taliban , defended militant the taliban, defended militant islamist groups banned in the uk and hosted hate preachers themselves. the latest polling shows around only 1 in 4 british muslims say it will be undesirable to have sharia law. 52% wants to make it to illegal show a picture of the prophet muhammad. only around 28% are opposed to making homosexuality illegal. there's widespread sympathy with hamas , and the sympathy with hamas, and the younger muslims are apparently the most extreme . there is the most extreme. there is a bloke at the moment trying to

sue the government because their failure to combat climate change is impacting his health. does that mean we can all sue the government for letting a trojan horse into britain? let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening. i am joined by conservative commentator, conservative candidate alex dean, entrepreneur and social commentator jarjue and commentator joana jarjue and political commentator alex armstrong. thank you very, very much for joining armstrong. thank you very, very much forjoining me. alex. dean, i will start with you . have we i will start with you. have we allowed a trojan horse into britain? >> we have known for some time that people expressing views like this are in our country. i hadnt like this are in our country. i hadn't what's news to me is that queen mary university hosts events where they get an uncontested platform to voice them, i'm sure they'll be them, and i'm sure they'll be being asked some questions and they'll themselves they'll be asking themselves some whether some questions about whether that main thing that was right. the main thing for me is that when you voice support for a regime like that internationally, there is something we can do about it. >> we have proscribed hamas as a terrorist organisation . this terrorist organisation. this when you talk about the taliban, you'll talk about an organisation that has carried

out scorched earth policies on its population , sold women its own population, sold women into slavery, banned into sexual slavery, banned education for women after a very bafic education for women after a very basic level , education for women after a very basic level, conducts corporal and capital punishment in ways that we would think utterly barbaric and has starved and massacred people in their own country. surely that's should an organisation that should be proscribed as well. >> and it's and it's a really good because earlier on good point, because earlier on i was whether not was looking at whether or not the are a proscribed the taliban are a proscribed organisation. they are not a proscribed organisation proscribed terror organisation in which absolutely in britain, which is absolutely bonkers. go and bonkers. so people can go and voice support for them and that's absolutely fine. joanna some of the things said, i mean, look, as a woman, you must surely be absolutely sickened to see supporting see the people are supporting a regime that would, you know, stone women death, ban the stone women to death, ban the education of women, ban any free rights, surely? >> yeah. no i am completely and i agree with you that you know, the should probably be the taliban should probably be categorised terrorist . categorised as a terrorist. >> i think that, it's almost as if when things like this happen ,

if when things like this happen, we talk about, you know, what these bad people are doing and there's they're always going to exist, in opinion. but exist, in my opinion. but i almost feel as if the energy should the processes should be about the processes and actually identify and how we actually identify these people. so, for example, for mary university, for queen mary university, they're basically saying that this was a commercial booking, but for a university where you know that people will be attending listening to these type of things, they'll de—platform other people , but it de—platform other people, but it seems as if centre left, right and centre. yeah, seems and centre. yeah, but it seems as they really go as if they don't really go through rigorous processes. through the rigorous processes. and that that's what we and i think that that's what we should thinking and it should be thinking about. and it overspills comes to overspills even when it comes to things home office and, things like the home office and, you you saying, you know, like you were saying, why is that news had to why is it that gb news had to flag somebody? why isn't flag about somebody? why isn't there a process? it just there a process? so it just seems if we spend so much seems as if we spend so much time talking they're time talking about it. they're always how always going to exist. but how do actually the bad do we actually weed the bad people out? >> no doubt, those >> look, no doubt, alex, those people say , look, it's just people will say, look, it's just our view. we went to afghanistan. not to afghanistan. you've not been to afghanistan. you've not been to afghanistan i'm afghanistan? as far as i'm aware. you've to aware. you've not been to afghanistan. what you really afghanistan. what do you really know well within know about it? it's well within their on their rights to sit on a platform and whatever they

like. >> look, i mean, there's an element freedom speech. element of freedom of speech. >> frankly, i would >> and quite frankly, i would rather the views out in rather the views were out in pubuc rather the views were out in public can challenge them. public so we can challenge them. >> were pushed >> then they were pushed underground and, you know, radicalising underground and, you know, radicalisitg young boys because it is young muslim boys that radicalised in that are being radicalised in the . i would say to the majority. i would say to those people, many of those men who british born, their who are british born, their parents came country to parents came to this country to escape those extremist policies that were implemented their that were implemented in their own countries , that drove those own countries, that drove those countries into the ground and quite frankly, sharia law has no compatibility with british values and british rights. so don't come and bring those things here that that nobody i guarantee you polled the majority of british people, 98% of people would say, absolutely not. >> just other alex, these views, i'm not sure how uncommon they actually are. in fact, i think they are worryingly common. those people are big players . a those people are big players. a lot of them have big social media a lot them media followings. a lot of them have influence have big influence in communities. lot of communities. there's a lot of that right. and am that going on. right. and i am really, really concerned that actually the things that we heard mainstream i >> -- >> so, alex has a point that ,

>> so, alex has a point that, the taliban drove out a number of more moderate people who are now finding their own children being radicalised away from them in their community because the taliban had two goes. right. the 96 to early 2000, they were in control of afghanistan, and now they're first time they're back in that first time they're back in that first time they destroyed almost all art. they they banned almost all music except for very basic drumming. so if you were a musician in afghanistan , that musician in afghanistan, that was it for you. of course, they persecuted homosexuals. appallingly. and if you were so, if artist, you were appallingly. and if you were so, if musician artist, you were appallingly. and if you were so, if musician . artist, you were appallingly. and if you were so, if musician . you tist, you were appallingly. and if you were so, if musician . you happened/ere appallingly. and if you were so, if musician . you happened to; a musician. you happened to be 93v- a musician. you happened to be gay. someone who gay. you were someone who believed liberal for believed in liberal rights for women you afghanistan. women. you left afghanistan. >> the comments >> what about the comments there? comes to when it there? when it comes to when it comes to girls getting married, the better. but the younger the better. but you've got to watch out for the law. mean, i had on my law. i mean, i had a guy on my show, it was maybe on show, i think it was maybe on monday night. have been monday night. it might have been who very, very monday night. it might have been who views. very, very monday night. it might have been who views. i very, very monday night. it might have been who views. i mean, 'ery monday night. it might have been who views. i mean, i'm similar views. i mean, i'm deeply about deeply concerned about how widespread those views aren't. >> i don't think that >> i don't i don't think that it's necessarily mainstream, though. you though. i'm not saying that, you know, significant know, there isn't a significant number, know , these number, but, you know, these polls and it says, oh, polls come out and it says, oh,

52. then you actually find 52. and then you actually find out that they actually polled 1000 know . so 1000 people, you know. so i don't always take things like that gospel. but i think that as gospel. but i do think that as gospel. but i do think that problem we, we that it's a problem that we, we pay that it's a problem that we, we pay that's fair. pay attention to. that's fair. >> let's not make >> right. so let's not make general points. talk the general points. talk about the specific. on specific. there was a guy on that platform who school that platform who runs a school for that he for girls saying that he idolised an environment in which secondary for education women is banned. >> but then the main question is then where is that guy now? so we see it there in black and white. not exactly. so what? how come nothing's happened to it? >> but this is part of the problem, right? because, you know, broken any know, they've not broken any laws. can tell. laws. as far as i can tell. they've broken any they've not broken any laws, they've not done anything, you know, anything like know, illegal or anything like that. not praising a that. they're not praising a banned terror group. i don't think right to say, well, think it's right to say, well, we can just deport those people. i don't know whether or not i was britain or not, but, was born in britain or not, but, you know, he's a platform you know, he's on a platform that a quick that there's not a quick fix. >> we should prescribe that there's not a quick fix. >> should we should prescribe that there's not a quick fix. >> should prescribe uld prescribe that there's not a quick fix. >> should prescribe the prescribe that there's not a quick fix. >> should prescribe the taliban, that there's not a quick fix. >> stheyd prescribe the taliban, that there's not a quick fix. >> stheyd prebe'ibe the taliban, that there's not a quick fix. >> stheyd pr

these we actually do these laws. what we actually do need british figures, need is strong british figures, like british prime like a strong british prime minister, for example, to come out and say, we as a country do not tolerate these values here. and if you continue to propagate them, then we will shut you down without the law to back it up. people, if people marches people, if people on the marches can that which i don't can express that which i don't think should be happening anymore, people think should be happening anythe re, people think should be happening anythe marches people think should be happening anythe marches can people think should be happening anythe marches can expresseople think should be happening anythe marches can express their on the marches can express their views if they views to a degree. but if they hold signs saying i, i'm in hold up signs saying i, i'm in favour of hamas, they're breaking law because breaking the law because it's proscribed terrorist organisation, can prosecute it. >> it. people like that like >> so are people like that like the that some the people that we saw in some of those videos, the people of those videos, like the people that there? yeah. that i quoted there? yeah. are they assimilate or they here to assimilate or are they here to assimilate or are they to over ? they here to take over? >> there are always going to within be within any community, be extremes. and you've got to ask the community to help you to deal with that extreme. so the fact that somebody holds these ultra extreme views whilst being fact that somebody holds these ultbritaineme views whilst being fact that somebody holds these ultbritaineme viev actually being in britain doesn't actually surprise me, because they're so prevalent in parts of islam around the world. i mean, for heaven's sake, this abominable organisation running organisation is running afghanistan effectively now, and indeed entering into huge drug

trade and, and human slavery whilst they're about it. but i don't think that means that people, muslims in britain are here to take over. actually at all. i think that the most worrying thing is the radicalisation of their children. i think a lot of them are here because they want to be in a more liberal country. and the hidden this debate the hidden truth in this debate is moderate muslims is i think many moderate muslims would appalled by what their would be appalled by what their own children are taught. own children are being taught. yes, but what's exceptionally worrying is how like these worrying is how men like these guys get to the top of these organisations without the parents other people inside parents and other people inside those institutions going, actually, too radical actually, you're far too radical to be running the school. >> that's clearly not enough pushback. >> that's clearly not enough pushback . and maybe that's fair, pushback. and maybe that's fair, because if these wrap because if these people wrap themselves in the cloak of being themselves in the cloak of being the voice on of allah, the voice on earth of allah, right ? and then you they're right? and then you they're asking people the community asking people in the community to them . it's to go and follow them. it's a very big ask for people in that community to say, well, oh community to then say, well, oh gosh, i'm sorry, don't like gosh, i'm sorry, i don't like you it is like you because it is like offending, kind offending, you know, the kind of like said, representative offending, you know, the kind of likthesaid, representative offending, you know, the kind of likthe your representative offending, you know, the kind of likthe your leader resentative offending, you know, the kind of

likthe your leader reseearthfe offending, you know, the kind of likthe your leader reseearth ,�* of the your leader on earth, really, which i think is a i think, joanna, i mean, for me, i think, joanna, i mean, for me, i think we need to be going into mosques a at mosques and having a look at what's again, mosques and having a look at wha probably again, mosques and having a look at wha probably get again, mosques and having a look at wha probably get called gain, you probably get called islamophobic for doing that. >> be >> well, yeah, probably to be honest, that might >> well, yeah, probably to be hone step that might >> well, yeah, probably to be hone step too that might >> well, yeah, probably to be hone step too far that might >> well, yeah, probably to be hone step too far to that might >> well, yeah, probably to be hone step too far to sayt might >> well, yeah, probably to be hone step too far to say that|ht >> well, yeah, probably to be hone step too far to say that we be a step too far to say that we should just be going into all mosques because, like we were saying you can't just saying before, you can't just kind it's bit like kind of pinpoint it's a bit like stop it? it's stop and search, isn't it? it's kind racial profiling. so i kind of racial profiling. so i think that one would be difficult. i think once difficult. but i think that once somebody opens that door slightly, should slightly, they should be something. obviously something. and there's obviously organisations like prevent, but it's the doesn't it's because the law doesn't back and actually and back it up. and actually and it's hard to say to be fair to them. but when it comes to the things that they do support and the they given the support that they have given to the they haven't the support that they have given to thwe they haven't the support that they have given to thwe supporthey haven't the support that they have given to thwe support terroristen't said we support terrorist activities. they're talking about more liberal. so about being more liberal. so obviously it's going to be very difficult. yeah, it's scary to hear because it's the taliban. >> don't intrude >> you don't have to intrude into mosque and find out some into a mosque and find out some secret meeting. you start secret meeting. you can start with material that's been with the material that's been recorded broadcast by recorded and broadcast by people, proud of people, because they're proud of what they're saying. the campaign is campaign against antisemitism is

trying metropolitan trying to get the metropolitan police and the crown prosecution service for service to prosecute people for things said on video and things they've said on video and had broadcast. our had broadcast. and so far, our authorities show real, real reluctance to do that. >> we are we are going to have to draw a line under it here and move on. but a queen mary university move on. but a queen mary univthety in september move on. but a queen mary uni'sponsored in september move on. but a queen mary uni'sponsored byseptember move on. but a queen mary uni'sponsored by the :ember move on. but a queen mary uni'sponsored by the university, not sponsored by the university, adding that it was jointly organised by prosper afghanistan and human aid and advocacy. all right. short right. well, quite a short statement considering what statement now considering what we heard. but we are coming up. is meghan blocking is meghan really blocking harry from while from making up with wills while his cancer? that is his wife battles cancer? that is the of a prominent royal the claim of a prominent royal author. but the editor at large at on sunday, charlotte at the mail on sunday, charlotte griffiths, truth griffiths, reveals the truth shortly. next, as keir shortly. but up next, as keir starmer declares his unshakeable commitment the nuclear commitment to the nuclear deterrent while the government unveils a new drone destroying defence laser beam, who do you trust more with the military? the labour party or the tories? former labour mp ivor caplin is ready to do battle with former tory and current mp tory minister and current mp paul scully. now that's next. batten down the hatches though,

because shots will be fired. this is patrick christys tonight on

gb news. coming up, the editor at large of the mail on sunday, charlotte griffiths, gives her exclusive insight on meghan markle's refusal to reconcile with william and kate. unless they apologise. but first, who do you trust more with the military, labour or the tories? it's time

now for our head to head. well, in stark contrast to his predecessor, keir starmer has declared an unshakeable commitment to the uk's nuclear weapons programme. the labour leader also said he wants to raise defence spending to 2.5% of gdp as soon as resources allow, and during a visit to a nuclear submarine factory in barrow, he reiterated his pledge to keep britain safe. >> well, look, the commitment i've made here today is really important. i think i'm the first labour leader to come here to the shipyard, here to see the building of the submarines for 30 years and to make a very important generational commitment . commitment. >> but defence secretary grant shapps isn't buying it from a man who twice tried to get jeremy corbyn elected. >> now says , trust me on our >> now says, trust me on our trident, on our nuclear deterrent . but he didn't even deterrent. but he didn't even mention it in his own leadership election. the simple truth is you can't trust labour on this. on the government is now trying

to boost its own defence credentials by announcing that a laser capable of shooting down enemy will be on royal enemy drones will be on royal navy warships by 2027. >> but who do you trust more with the military , labour or the with the military, labour or the tories? let me know your thoughts. gbnews.com/your say or say or tweet me at gb news. and while you're there, why not go and vote in our poll? the results to follow shortly. doing battle on this now i'm joined by tory scully and former tory mp paul scully and former labour defence minister ivor caplin. both you, thank you caplin. both of you, thank you very, , paul. why can very, very much, paul. why can we the tories more than we trust the tories more than labour? you guys appear to have cut defence spending left us woefully short. >> well, look, we've got to make sure that we do maintain and indeed increase our defence spending. we've got to make sure that we do that for the threats that we do that for the threats that actually in the, that we actually face, in the, in, in the coming years hence, you've seen dragonfire, talked about today. >> what we can't do, though, is we can't have a keir starmer. and as he said, he's right. he just said he's the first leader to visit this to talk about this

for 30 odd years. he can't do that just a tick box that just as a tick box exercise, a single article in a newspaper quick broadcast round and then go away again thinking, you know , he's tick that box. you know, he's tick that box. this is something that we face day in, day out. we've had labour backbenchers, the people behind keir starmer, whilst we remain fourth highest, defence spenderin remain fourth highest, defence spender in the world, actually actively campaigning against making careers , campaigning making careers, campaigning against the deterrent, campaigning against pretty well every conflict the uk have been involved in over the last 30 or so years. so years. >> so years. >> okay, i'll come back to you, ivor. look, keir starmer actually doesn't mean what he says, he? when says, does he? 2.5% when resources that says, does he? 2.5% when resourbe that says, does he? 2.5% when resourbe never that says, does he? 2.5% when resourbe never . that could be never. >> well i think that this is a very , very important moment for very, very important moment for keir starmer, for the labour party . it shows the changes that party. it shows the changes that the labour party has been through over the last four and a half years, and maybe most importantly, this also says to britain and to our international

colleagues around the world that britain will be there with, with our trident , whenever those are our trident, whenever those are needed, in any parts of the world. so i think this is a very important moment from a defence perspective. and, and the other the other side of this, patrick, is , is how how are we going to is, is how how are we going to get the military to have more resources because it's not just the 2.5% we actually need to , the 2.5% we actually need to, unfortunately, go back and look again at some of the, people who've who've left the military when actually we need those people to come back and be part of, the military operations that, that people around the world will expect from britain. and of course, look, i've got to i've got to put this to you, paul >> you know, the size of the uk armed forces has shrunk by more than people in the year. than 7000 people in the year. it's now, i believe, a record it's now, i believe, at a record low when compare that to the

low when i compare that to the last actual labour government. so not what we could had so not what we could have had under corbyn. what under jeremy corbyn. but what we did blair, did have under tony blair, defence spending remained at around 2.5% of gdp . i mean, the around 2.5% of gdp. i mean, the actual track record in our armed forces is remarkably better with blair, isn't it? >> well, no. i think one thing. look, first of all, i would agree with ivor that it is a moment. it's good that the labour party are actually acknowledging this because it's important the country, important for the country, regardless party politics, regardless of party politics, that we do have the best approach to our own security and to those of our allies. so that's really important. we should say that. but look, i think what we had when you look at what we had to inherit in 2010 wasn't just the financial crisis, it was some of the changes that were made to things like aircraft carrier purchases, these kind of things under the gordon brown government we gordon brown government that we had to pick up on. we have not just armed forces. you have just our armed forces. you have to in mind, it's not just to bear in mind, it's not just about armed forces. we have about our armed forces. we have 400,000 the 400,000 people involved in the uk defence sector, in

uk in the defence sector, in terms of manufacture, procurement and all of these things of our defence. sir davey as well. this is an amazing sector for us as well as the security for our country. >> no, let's break down what keir starmer has said here. he said he's got the absolute bottle to press a button that, let's be honest, he's never going to press. that going to be asked to press. that being he being the nuclear deterrent. he said allow 2.5% if said they'll only allow 2.5% if rafe defence spending as gdp if resources allow it. and he did try to get a man elected twice. he wanted to do away with our nuclear deterrent. he's all mouth and no trousers, isn't he . mouth and no trousers, isn't he. >> no, i can't go alongside that. i'm afraid. patrick, look, this this constant thing, this constant thing by the conservative party about what happened under under, corbyn is really just a mark of. >> i'm sorry. i've. i've got to come in on that because actually that keir starmer, the current labour leader, tried to get that man elected, he would have been happy to have had a government

been front bench. but in been on the front bench. but in the cabinet with man who the cabinet with a man who wanted with nuclear wanted to do away with nuclear deterrence, mean that fact. >> patrick. patrick, what happenedin >> patrick. patrick, what happened in 17 and then 19 is the labour party went to the worst result since 1935 support. it was never going to happen. it was never going to happen. that corbyn was going to win. what i'm saying is quite simply that over this last four and a half years, labour has had to relook at everything and that includes the defence area and that is part of what has happened today. and i and i'm, i'm, you know , i and i and i'm, i'm, you know, i it's for what paul just said. he's right that it's good for the country that both parties have a different have a similar view but from, from our point of view but from, from our point of view it's a very important moment . and i think kim starmer moment. and i think kim starmer has done the right. >> don't know either either i'll stick with you and then i'll give paul the final word on this, look this, because i've a look at where majority of the where the vast majority of the

conflict very likely conflict zones are very likely to be. the middle east. the to be. it's the middle east. the labour so divided on labour party is so divided on the east. are you the middle east. okay. are you really, labour government, really, as a labour government, going to make swift going to be able to make swift device, decisions when device, decisive decisions when it comes to a potential middle eastern conflict? it would rip your party apart. >> people said this to us in 1997 and it wasn't true. and i and i would say that that won't happen when labour is in government . if we are fortunate government. if we are fortunate enough to win the general election. whenever the tories are capable enough of calling a general election . general election. >> okay. all right. and paul, look, final word to you on this. yeah i have the tories been a bit outflanked by keir here. you know i think there was at least two or maybe even front two or maybe even three front pages newspapers today pages of the newspapers today that know, keir that did have, you know, keir doing bits out doing his own military bits out there we look some of there. we also look at some of there. we also look at some of the some members of the treatment of some members of the treatment of some members of the under the the armed forces under the tories. know, tories. paul you know, really poor that poor military accommodation that we've got going on there. you've had lower the had to lower the lower the recruitment barriers. we did a story yesterday about people in the longer being the royal navy no longer being required when they required to swim when they initially you can't even

initially joined. you can't even actually people actually really entice people in, paul. >> i think first p—n >> look, i think first of all, you can't just do all of this on a single day or whether it's 3 or 4 or whatever headlines, frankly, do this on a frankly, you can't do this on a single day. just after 30 years of inaction from the conservative party's point of view, more we view, clearly there is more we need on defence. people need to do on defence. people aren't the aren't wanting to join the military any number of military for any number of reasons, unlike they used to do years ago. but look, you talked about i've talked about, jeremy corbyn. that may have been a few years ago, but it was the last general election. it wasn't that long ago . and since then, trying long ago. and since then, trying to change the, the labour party, keir starmer has flip flopped on any number of things. that's why you can't trust him just on this one single day . one single day. >> look, both of you top stuff. thank you very, very much. really enjoyed that great concert. you agree concert. so who do you agree with? do you more on with? who do you trust more on the military , the tories or the military, the tories or labour? i'm really fascinated to hear on hear what you have to say on this. so janet on x says none of them. there none of them. them. there we go. none of them. they intelligent enough they are not intelligent enough to charge dressing

to be put in charge of dressing themselves, let alone weapons. janet. right. baryonyx janet. all right. baryonyx says the already turned, the tories have already turned, the tories have already turned, the military woke, but labour will it. and will completely ruin it. and have troops fighting while have the troops fighting while wearing pronoun wearing a dress with pronoun badges. you guys are on form tonight, leigh says . i wouldn't tonight, leigh says. i wouldn't trust either to pour water out of bottle with the of a bottle with the instructions on the bottom. all right, verdict then . 86% of right, your verdict then. 86% of you say you trust the tories more with the military . 14% of more with the military. 14% of you say that they trust labour more. i think i should have put a doubt now tag on that particular one. but anyway, coming up, while of britain coming up, while most of britain battles cost of living coming up, while most of britain battle migrants of living coming up, while most of britain battle migrants like iving coming up, while most of britain battle migrants like those on crisis, migrants like those on the are being the bibby stockholm are being afforded all kinds of perks, including exclusive bus services. and get this taxpayer funded waterproof hiking gear. i will speak to a weymouth resident who's had enough of being taken for a ride by our government. but first, as harry and meghan prepare to release a pair of make or break netflix shows , the difficult duchess is shows, the difficult duchess is she actually stopping wills and harry from making up the editor

at large of the mail on sunday, charlotte griffiths gives her exclusive and unmissable insight on claims. on those incendiary claims. that's

next. this is patrick christys. tonight on gb news. coming up, i speak to a portland resident about the luxury bus and other unbelievable taxpayer funded perks afforded to the bibby stockholm migrants. as the rest of the locals suffer through a cost of living crisis. but it is

time now for the royal dispatch . time now for the royal dispatch. and as the princess of wales continues her treatment for cancen continues her treatment for cancer, an ultimatum has reportedly come down the pipeline from the ever caring sussexes . now, royal author tom sussexes. now, royal author tom quinn has revealed that william and kate are apparently making efforts to mend the rift and they're keen for a reconciliation. but meghan is refusing to bury the hatchet unless they do two things. speaking to the mirror, mr quinn said harry would like a reconciliation his reconciliation but supports his wife completely and until she feels that the royal family have sufficiently apologised, it's not going to happen, right? well, joined now by the well, i'm joined now by the editor at large of the mail on sunday, charlotte griffiths. charlotte, very, very charlotte, thank you very, very much. is meghan really getting in think of in the way? do you think of a reconciliation between harry and william? >> i think i think she is pushing for an apology, and i think that's been going on for quite a long although think that's been going on for quite have g although think that's been going on for quite have been although think that's been going on for quite have been reports ugh think that's been going on for quite have been reports from the there have been reports from the sussex of sussex camp that she sort of given up on the apology, but i don't she's actually don't think she's actually

blocking his blocking him from seeing his family with his family and reconciling with his family. obviously , family. we know that obviously, he see his dad when family. we know that obviously, he dad see his dad when family. we know that obviously, he dad was see his dad when family. we know that obviously, he dad was diagnoseds dad when family. we know that obviously, he dad was diagnosed withi when his dad was diagnosed with cancer , and he's coming over cancer, and he's coming over again although i have to again in may, although i have to say, coming with him. say, she's not coming with him. he's to paul's he's coming over to saint paul's for games event, and for an invictus games event, and it's kind of surprising she's not coming with him. feels not coming with him. it feels like a withdrawal support, like a withdrawal of support, but she's just but i think maybe she's just protecting herself because she knows she's not very popular in this country, think tom might this country, i think tom might be the boundaries to say be pushing the boundaries to say that olive that she's preventing an olive branch , honest. branch, to be honest. >> i mean, really sure >> i mean, i'm not really sure that william an olive that william wants an olive branch, no, i mean, branch, does he? no, i mean, certainly that's true. >> william is >> the idea that william is looking reconciliation is looking for a reconciliation is for birds. i mean, is for the birds. i mean, this is a guy with a of bigger things guy with a lot of bigger things on he's got two very on his plate. he's got two very sick relatives, of is sick relatives, one of whom is his wife. he's to be his wife. he's planning to be the future king, know, who the future king, you know, who knows that could knows how long that could be? i have say, charles is have to say, charles is responding really well to cancer treatment. but he must. that must be the forefront of his must be at the forefront of his mind. be the king. must be at the forefront of his mind.you be the king. must be at the forefront of his mind.you know, be the king. must be at the forefront of his mind.you know, the he king. must be at the forefront of his mind.you know, the next ng. must be at the forefront of his mind.you know, the next few very. you know, the next few years that he's years and the idea that he's going bogged down by more going to get bogged down by more psychodrama from his brother , psychodrama from his brother,

from montecito, from meghan. apologies. i mean, he'sjust apologies. i mean, he's just he's moved past all of that. he's actually past the angry stage. i'm hearing he'sjust he's actually past the angry stage. i'm hearing he's just in there. can't be bothered with those guys. stage >> yeah. no, indeed. i know a lot of people feel that way. certainly you did say little certainly you did say a little line there, which that you line there, which is that you think responding think the king is responding well yeah. well to cancer treatment. yeah. >> he's >> no, i am hearing that he's actually responding genuinely. really well to cancer treatment. and everyone in the royal household really household is feeling really positive and upbeat about how he's responding. >> fantastic. well, he's responding. >> is fantastic. well, he's responding. >> is great fantastic. well, he's responding. >> is great tointastic. well, he's responding. >> is great to know. :. well, he's responding. >> is great to know. great., he's responding. >> is great to know. great to that is great to know. great to know. and obviously they're know. and now obviously they're also releasing a new also going to be releasing a new two netflix series that two part netflix series that i think is a make or break moment in their careers. after they announced those two new shows, the first series will be curated by meghan. apparently the first episode and celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining and friendship. while the second episode focuses on the rarefied world of polo, a sport loved by harry. i mean, does this have mass appeal? >> well , let's face it, polo >> well, let's face it, polo does not have mass appeal. so to play does not have mass appeal. so to play polo, you have to have four

polo ponies, not one four. so how many people the world can how many people in the world can own ponies and own four polo ponies and a groom? you it's the groom? and you know, it's the sport of kings. so it's a pretty niche market. we've got to face that. and the most interesting thing polo is all the thing about polo is all the drama that goes on behind the scenes. you scenes. everyone gets drunk, you know, jilly cooper know, we know from jilly cooper that players they that their polo players are they play that their polo players are they play away, they're rampant. that's a good way of putting it. but let's face it, that's not going to be harry's harry's going to be in harry's harry's program he's to do program because he's going to do the polished, you the sort of very polished, you know, earnest polo , know, very earnest face of polo, if a exists. and if such a thing exists. and meanwhile, show , i meanwhile, the gardening show, i mean, it just feels a bit granny ish for me . you know, it's ish for me. you know, it's gardening and friendship and it's quite tame fare . and the it's quite tame fare. and the idea that they're not trading on their royal connections for this is also for the birds, because although they're not directly slagging off the royal family like were their last like they were in their last netflix show, you know who? who would possibly tune to would possibly tune in to a programme about meghan markle cooking if it wasn't for the fact into the fact she'd married into the royal i've actually royal family? and i've actually seen there's something seen there's, there's something circulating online. there's a

there's cookery there's her last cookery show was cooking toast. she was her cooking toast. she cooked toast. she cooked toast about five years ago. she revealed her recipe for toast, which has got ricotta on it, and her granny's favourite jam. right. was right. i watched that and it was a little like watching paint a little bit like watching paint dry, i'm going to honest. dry, if i'm going to be honest. yeah, got great yeah, so she hasn't got great form for cookery shows so far. >> i mean, think her, brooklyn >> i mean, i think her, brooklyn beckham should probably be locked in a room together and just to create. just made to create. >> i was going to say, think >> i was going to say, i think it's to the next it's going to be the next brooklyn beckham. think it's brooklyn beckham. i think it's going really cringe. going to be really cringe. you know, i she's a know, it's i just she's not a passionate know passionate cook. i know she's fond cooking fond of cooking and it's a hobby, not known hobby, but she's not known to be a cook. hobby, but she's not known to be a yeah, cook. hobby, but she's not known to be a yeah, indeed.:. hobby, but she's not known to be a yeah, indeed. and i mean, >> yeah, indeed. and i mean, look, brand when it look, meghan's brand when it comes and it comes to comes to cooking and it comes to gardening and stuff, that gardening and stuff, is that really the or is really what moves the dial or is this attempt to try to soften this an attempt to try to soften her, to show her as being something other than maybe the kind frankly, was kind of person who, frankly, was very royal very offensive about the royal family? know, the curtsy family? you know, the curtsy to the we played that the queen moment we played that bit in the show. bit earlier on in the show. quite disrespectful. >> right. >> i think you're so right. i think definitely trying to think she's definitely trying to soften herself down. i personally convinced when

personally am not convinced when i do see clips of meghan doing that of cookery act . do you that kind of cookery act. do you remember wrote the remember when she wrote the words bananas few years words on the bananas a few years ago, and there have been times she the uk and she she came over to the uk and she did a cookery book for grenfell, which was really good cause. which was a really good cause. but personally just didn't. but i personally just didn't. i didn't buy into it. i didn't buy into this soft and gentle meghan . we know she's she's hard as nails and she's ambitious and she's ruthless. and you know, i'm not saying that's a bad thing, but she isn't. softly, softly gentle. meghan i don't think. >> no, not at all. but we've spoken a bit there about about whether or not there's going to be a reconciliation with the royal we've spoken about royal family. we've spoken about these series, these two new netflix series, which are going to coming out which are going to be coming out at in the future, but at some point in the future, but there's actually a move, genuinely, towards genuinely, it appears, towards politics well with these politics now as well with these two. so, the sussexes are preparing to wade into us politics ahead of the monumental election this year. that's because the pair's archewell foundation have launched a campaign to fight against misinformation during the election. so, according to

reports, the couple are working to prepare you as voters for a possible deep fake onslaught. all right, charlotte, i mean, how are they going to do this? what actually is their plan? >> she's there's a sort of consortium of bipartisan campaigners who have got together, and they're going to help stop the spread of disinformation, including deepfakes. we don't really know how to do that how they're going to do that yet, but we know that in the past , how yet, but we know that in the past, how meghan yet, but we know that in the past , how meghan tackles past, how meghan tackles disinformation is she has a good old grumble about it. so while she worked for spotify, who we now know have dumped her, she moaned spotify while she now know have dumped her, she moa actually spotify while she now know have dumped her, she moa actually like iotify while she now know have dumped her, she moa actually like workingile she now know have dumped her, she moa actually like working forshe was actually like working for them and getting paid a huge fortune. so she was biting the hand them, fed her. but hand that fed them, fed her. but she that they she moaned that they were spreading disinformation about covid at time , so covid jabs. at the time, so that's probably what she'll do. she'll just release a few moany pubuc she'll just release a few moany public statements like she did last as far can tell, last time. as far as i can tell, she hasn't really released any other details other than she's going to complain. >> that's a theme, isn't it? really saying a lot of stuff without a lot of stuff?

really saying a lot of stuff wityou a lot of stuff? really saying a lot of stuff wityou think a lot of stuff? really saying a lot of stuff wityou think this.ot of stuff? really saying a lot of stuff wityou think this is of stuff? really saying a lot of stuff wityou think this is pavingf? really saying a lot of stuff wityou think this is paving the do you think this is paving the way political way for her own political career, potentially or not? do youi think gone are days >> i think gone are the days there moment where she there was a moment where she hired pr woman hired michelle obama's pr woman and archewell and spent $90,000 via archewell to her, and we did think to pay for her, and we did think at the time, god, maybe she actually is going to run for president. but just feel president. but now i just feel like moment's passed, you like that moment's passed, you know, cookery know, now she's making cookery shows gardening. shows and shows about gardening. everything much everything just seems so much more toned down about meghan now. the moment, maybe, now. like at the moment, maybe, dare say, has passed for dare i say, it has passed for meghan can't see her meghan markle. i can't see her getting that involved in politics anymore. >> right, well look >> no. all right, well look charlotte, you very, very >> no. all right, well look charloit's you very, very >> no. all right, well look charloit's been you very, very >> no. all right, well look charloit's been fantastic, very >> no. all right, well look charloit's been fantastic to ary >> no. all right, well look charloit's been fantastic to get much. it's been fantastic to get you and a range you on and covers a wide range of there well. of topics there as well. charlotte griffiths, the editor at mail on sunday. at large at the mail on sunday. now coming up, remember now look coming up, remember when this when angela rayner said this about boris johnson. >> so seems mr speaker, >> so it seems mr speaker, potential criminality has been found in downing street . found in downing street. >> wow. well, miss rayner live by her own lofty standards and resign now that the police are investigating her over the sale

of her council house and the electoral roll issue, i'll give my no holds barred take at ten. plus, i'll show you what on earth is happening. plus, i'll show you what on earth is happening . here. plus, i'll show you what on earth is happening. here. but next, portland residents are up in arms as it's revealed that bibby stockholm migrants are being given an exclusive luxury bus service and even taxpayer funded waterproof clobber. so when will our government put local residents first and close the bottomless pit of money given to asylum seekers? i take you to weymouth to speak to resident kate robson next and let me tell

welcome back to patrick christys. tonight coming up, i explain why angela rayner is a hypocrite. if she doesn't resign after police launched an investigation into her. but first, to a fresh blow to the increasingly farcical rwanda plan. now, leaked documents have revealed that a shortage of lawyers. yep. don't spit your coffee out a shortage of lawyers

could limit deportations to the african country. officials have warned ministers that the amount of taxpayer funded legal advice the government is obliged to provide to migrants could be a major constraining factor , and major constraining factor, and as many as an extra 350 duty solicitors funded by legal aid. that's you could be needed. each migrant being deported to rwanda will also require three minders, reducing number asylum reducing the number of asylum seekers on any one flight to fewer than 50. that's according to documents from last year. well, this discouraging news probably means the migrants on the stockholm barge the bibby stockholm barge won't be soon. and be leaving any time soon. and portland locals are outraged at the, services the, quote, special services being provided to those migrants, including free, exclusive of luxury bus services and free waterproof hiking gear. again, it's all coming out of the taxpayers pocket. well, i'm very pleased to say i'm joined now by one of those rightfully aggrieved locals. it's kate robson. kate, thank you very,

very much . yeah. can you just very much. yeah. can you just explain to then what the mood explain to me then what the mood is like with locals like yourself? when you see some of the special services being put on to the people in the bibby stockholm, i've got to be honest, special services honest, the special services don't actually bother me so much. it is the cost and the indulgence. i mean, we're talking about a small community on portland, 30,500. you know, portland port is a private port. and i think what is most sickening to most people in this community is the fact that we are the only town community to agree to hold a barge , and that agree to hold a barge, and that is because it's lucrative. we know it's lucrative , i mean, the know it's lucrative, i mean, the package that has been thrown at this barge is absolutely astonishing, we worked out over 18 months, and, you know, we were told as a taxpayer this was better value. i mean, and it's still we still didn't want it . better value. i mean, and it's still we still didn't want it. i mean, at the end of the day, you

know, we have we've got poor access to services already, but all sudden there's £34.8 all of a sudden there's £34.8 million and a barge floated in that. i think actually portland port, they thought they'd float in and nobody would actually nofice. notice. >> could you just explain to me a that? the a bit about that? the discrepancy , kate, if that's discrepancy, kate, if that's okay, you you okay, between, you know, you guys to access guys struggling to access certain services and maybe some people on the barge. not really struggling that much. people on the barge. not really strlwell,g that much. people on the barge. not really strlwell, no, at much. people on the barge. not really strlwell, no, it's1uch. people on the barge. not really strlwell, no, it's pure >> well, no, it's pure indulgence. so really, i mean, it's supposed to be a deterrent , it's supposed to be a deterrent, a bit like rwanda, when in fact, you know, it's coming across as a holiday camp on the jurassic coast, you know, nice area. south dorset , there's cricket, south dorset, there's cricket, there's football. there are any amount of supporters that are giving men lifts to places they are enjoying the nightlife of weymouth, they certainly don't appear to be particularly, as you would class a typical refugee, as it were , and these

refugee, as it were, and these luxury buses , i mean, portland luxury buses, i mean, portland port is secure. so they are not allowed to walk off the port. it's, you know, it's got a history steeped in, in maritime and mod, i think nuclear stuff still visit normally. you know, their most renowned as well for cruise ships , but they have to cruise ships, but they have to get a bus out of the port. but they run twice an hour. we're not talking a shuttle bus or a little old bus that, you know, the school kids get on their brand new excelsior coaches and they are running twice an hour with mainly normally about two people on. so i dread to think what the cost is to the taxpayer just to the buses. but aslef only went into the home office and it came back as not in the pubuc and it came back as not in the public interest. now we know that very convenient, you know, we have you know, we've seen complaints from, you know, the

older generation stood at the bus stops in the rain with empty buses going past them. i mean, it's an absolute kick in the teeth when you look as well at this bibby stockholm it was originally designed for, i think for 506. they doubled the for 506. so they doubled the capacity. no idea how capacity. i have no idea how much it cost to refit this thing. i'm sure that was a huge amount. and know the home amount. and i know the home office trying to blame some amount. and i know the home office initial ing to blame some amount. and i know the home office initial costs blame some amount. and i know the home office initial costs on ame some amount. and i know the home office initial costs on that,;ome of the initial costs on that, but done. there's now, but that's done. there's now, i think, 320, on board. think, about 320, men on board. they've upped the actual capacity to, i believe, 420 or 30. and if you break that down over 18 months, the contract that's 4500 pounds per head. yeah. if you look at it's disgusting. >> i mean, and i think they get medical they get they get they get kind of on demand medical care as well. which frankly, a load of people would absolutely kill for in this country the kill for in this country at the minute. let's honest with the minute. let's be honest with the way surgeries are, way that the gp surgeries are, etc. that they way that the gp surgeries are, etc. enjoying that they way that the gp surgeries are, etc. enjoying the that they way that the gp surgeries are, etc. enjoying the nightlife ay way that the gp surgeries are, etc. enjoying the nightlife as were enjoying the nightlife as well. i can't but well. i mean, i can't help but wonder for that . wonder who's paying for that. >> not sure, but but >> well, i'm not sure, but but we're some mass baptisms

we're having some mass baptisms here well. i've heard here as well. i've, i've heard apparently 20 baptised apparently there was 20 baptised on weymouth beach last week, so whether no, i don't whether that's, no, i don't know, a pray to stay or perhaps a rationale to drink alcohol. >> no. so you're hearing you're heanng >> no. so you're hearing you're hearing of mass baptisms. obviously confirm this hearing of mass baptisms. obvi(we'll confirm this hearing of mass baptisms. obvi(we'll look confirm this hearing of mass baptisms. obvi(we'll look into onfirm this hearing of mass baptisms. obvi(we'll look into it.:irm this hearing of mass baptisms. obvi(we'll look into it. great. s now. we'll look into it. great. but yeah, you're hearing of mass baptism. you said 20 of them were baptised off the coast last week . week. >> apparently so. we know six were baptised a few weeks ago, but i've heard from a reliable source today that there was a mass baptism on, weymouth beach and, baptist church are and, weymouth baptist church are justifying this, i this has been covered before, i know, but it is just an absolute farce. i mean, it's absolutely unbelievable . all the level of unbelievable. all the level of support that some locals are going to support them, but at the same time, compared appear to be completely ignorant to the struggles the communities struggles that the communities have. and i think particularly because portland port is owned by langham industries, they're renowned for, you know, own by langham industries, they're revineyard,or, you know, own by langham industries, they're revineyard, foryou know, own by langham industries, they're

the prime minister himself, are clear . if any evidence the prime minister himself, are clear. if any evidence emerges of behaviour that is potentially a criminal offence , the matter a criminal offence, the matter will be referred to the police . will be referred to the police. so it seems, mr speaker, potentially criminality has been found in downing street and the labour leader, sir keir starmer, has been at it too. >> he tweeted honesty and decency matter. after months of denials, the prime minister is now under criminal investigations for breaking his own lockdown laws . he needs to own lockdown laws. he needs to do decent thing and resign do the decent thing and resign and he said this in parliament. >> the prime minister himself is now subject to criminal investigation . the prime investigation. the prime minister took us all for fools. i can't tell you how many times people have said to me that this prime ministers lack of integrity is somehow priced in, that his behaviour and character do not matter . and i have never do not matter. and i have never

accepted that the prime minister should do the decent thing and resign. he continued his leadership will mean further misconduct, cover up and deceit. >> sir keir starmer mentions defending the indefensible in a longer version of that clip as well. he said that miss rayner has done nothing wrong, but he's refused to look at the evidence. he sent shadow secretary he sent shadow foreign secretary david rubbish david lammy out to say rubbish like this. >> i think there's >> look, i think there's a different arrangement and expectation the prime expectation for the prime minister than there is in this context . context. >> okay, well, mr lammy, it certainly does seem that there's a different standard. let's remind ourselves of miss rayner's tweet again , shall we? rayner's tweet again, shall we? there go. borisjohnson's there we go. boris johnson's downing police downing street is under police investigation . how on earth can investigation. how on earth can he think he stay on as prime he think he can stay on as prime minister statement minister and today's statement from police. minister and today's statement fror are police. minister and today's statement frorare investigating police. minister and today's statement fror are investigating whether:e. minister and today's statement fror are investigating whether any we are investigating whether any offences have been committed. this follows a reassessment of information provided to us by mr daly. well, i have been told that labour are already lining

up bridget phillipson , the up bridget phillipson, the shadow education minister, to take over from miss rayner . by take over from miss rayner. by angela rayner's own standards, she has to go by keir starmer's own standards. she has to go. the replacement is waiting in the wings . well, come on, get on the wings. well, come on, get on with it then. well i'm joined now by former education minister andrea jenkyns. look, andrea, this does appear to me to be a question of hypocrisy, especially given what was said about boris johnson , who you are about boris johnson, who you are about boris johnson, who you are a massive fan of complete hypocrisy, patrick. >> and one thing the british pubuc >> and one thing the british public can't stand is the do as i say, not as i do attitude. they like fairness and you know, come on angela, you've, you've you've called out boris and been so blatant about it that, you mentioned sue gray in the in the clip , didn't mentioned sue gray in the in the clip, didn't she, mentioned sue gray in the in the clip , didn't she, who went on to clip, didn't she, who went on to let's not forget, she went to on become an adviser for starmer. so come on, put your money where your mouth is and resign. and

one thing that i can't stand as well, patrick, is how it didn't have to go to the police investigating this. come clean. pubush investigating this. come clean. publish your. what? you've been advised your tax advice. then we want you to put taxpayers money on this. >> the real line today, andrea, is . this is a witch hunt. this is. this is a witch hunt. this is. this is a witch hunt. this is a working class woman . and is a working class woman. and this is why everyone's getting on their high horse about it. how would you respond to that ? how would you respond to that? >> oh, for god's sake, it's codswallop. i'm a working class woman, you know, she needs to get a bit more grit there, doesn't she? i mean, and it's when it suits them. this is a woman who called, you know , woman who called, you know, people in my party. scum. so that's acceptable , is it? no, that's acceptable, is it? no, it's not angela. so resign. you know, although, to be honest, she she's. great for the conservative party. so actually, thinking about it. stay there . thinking about it. stay there. >> well, i suppose there is an argument maybe the longer argument that maybe the longer that she is in post, the better

the labour party. sorry, the best of the tory party might do what said is, she said that what she said is, she said that she resign is she will resign if there is found to be any criminality. she denies any and all wrongdoing. she may well end up being completely exonerated, of course, but is that a different standard that she's setting now than she's set for boris johnson and other people did? she didn't want to allow them to wait and see if they actually had done anything the very anything wrong. just the very fact under police fact they were under police investigation enough for her investigation was enough for her to for resign. to call for them to resign. wasn't completely . wasn't it completely. >> and look at what lammy said this in that awful this week in that awful interview , which was interview, which was embarrassing, saying there's different principles unless you're the party of government. i is appalling i mean that is appalling behaviour and mean to me as behaviour and i mean to me as well, the fact that labour have not let her be on the airwaves now for two weeks, what does that say? the labour party has not got confidence in angela raynen not got confidence in angela rayner. and you're rayner. and you're. you're right, patrick. they are waiting to replace her. so yeah, it's for good the tories have been there. but we cannot stand

hypocrisy angela rayner just there. but we cannot stand hypocrisy angela raynerjust go. hypocrisy angela rayner just go. >> well it's an secret in >> well it's an open secret in my view anyway about who they want to replace her. and you know , i wonder whether or not know, i wonder whether or not they on with it. they will just get on with it. andrea, you very andrea, thank you very, very much. great on the much. to great have you on the show. former education show. that is former education minister. there dame andrea jenkyns. let's thoughts jenkyns. let's get the thoughts of i've got of my panel. now. i've got conservative parliamentary candidate i've got candidate alex dean, i've got entrepreneur and social commentator joana jarjue, and i've political commentator i've got political commentator alex armstrong, joanna, i'll start with you on this . you start with you on this. you know, look, it's hypocrisy, isn't it? if she hadn't have made a rod for her own back, we could await the outcome of a police investigation. but she, by own standards and keir by her own standards and by keir starmer's , has to starmer's own standards, has to 90, starmer's own standards, has to go, she? go, doesn't she? >> don't think she does at >> no, i don't think she does at all. think all. and i think it's a completely different situation to with with to what we saw with boris, with bofis to what we saw with boris, with boris , the whole nation watched boris, the whole nation watched with their own eyes, saw pictures saw various pictures come out, saw various different things, and i think that boris , like david lammy that boris, like david lammy said, has to be held to a higher standard . standard. >> but i think that this is just been, has to be held, had to be held to a higher standard. prime

minister the deputy minister to be the deputy prime minister to be the deputy prime miryeah, he's prime. he was >> yeah, but he's prime. he was prime the time. prime minister at the time. and this something this was something about something that happened at number your head number 10 and shaking your head furiously . furiously. >> yeah. no, no. >> come can't have moral >> come on. we can't have moral standards for one group of people in a different for other. that's just into a very, that's just leads into a very, very society. angela very dangerous society. angela rayner hypocrite rayner is the ultimate hypocrite . she's the ultimate political hypocrite. not just of hypocrite. not just because of saying as soon as boris came under investigation, he wasn't proving guilty at that point, let's in mind he let's bear in mind that he should by her own should resign by her own standards, she should resign too. also the woman too. but she's also the woman that benefited from right to buy, but also wants to get rid of right to buy for people who want to buy their council council homes. you she spills council homes. so you she spills out this constant hypocrisy. it's one rule for angela. a different for everyone else. >> it's completely different. sorry. well, well alex, i'll get your views on this. >> i mean, it's also a problem for keir starmer keir starmer. we from him there we heard a clip from him there in house of commons talking we heard a clip from him there in decencyf commons talking we heard a clip from him there in decencyf corethics talking about decency and ethics in politics. he was quite toe curling , actually. he said come

curling, actually. he said come on, boris has got to go. well, hang on a minute. he's now standing alongside a woman. she's tax inspectors she's got fake tax inspectors following her around in the street goes. and street wherever she goes. and now the police are investigating this. >> pragmatically. stories run this long. the person tends to go. but i believe in the presumption of innocence which she's entitled to. but that is something rather more than the labour party does when they talk about other people. that's about other people. and that's the that they have the point to me that they have undermined that principle. and keir starmer, as former keir starmer, as the former director of public prosecutions, should have known than to should have known better than to do that. but he did call for the prime minister to go once he was being investigated by the police. person police. and so for the person who be deputy prime who wants to be deputy prime minister, to have the same test seems to me to be quite right, especially as she was the attack dog against boris and co. it was angela rayner herself who was, she proudly said in parliament, called prime minister called for the prime minister to go once the police started to investigate. well, police investigate. well, the police are now . i are investigating her now. i don't means you don't think that means you should resign because should have to resign because i believe in the presumption of innocence. didn't.

believe in the presumption of innybutice. didn't. believe in the presumption of innybut she didn't. believe in the presumption of innybut she does. dn't. believe in the presumption of innybut she doesn't. t. believe in the presumption of innybut she doesn't. now i want >> but she doesn't. now i want to make one other point, too. people confused over what's people get confused over what's happening. this is not actually the about she the suggestion about tax. she may another may have another set of allegations with later. allegations to deal with later. this about electoral issues. this is about electoral issues. and she's. so that's what the point and whether she misled point is. and whether she misled people about her residence could be issue , be quite a serious issue, actually, particularly for a politician, given how important the defence of our electoral system is. but these are allegations . she's entitled to allegations. she's entitled to make a denial and she's made it. i'll just make one point. the one ican i'll just make one point. the one i can tell is one thing i can tell you is definitely keir definitely untrue is keir starmer welcome this starmer saying, i welcome this investigation. starmer saying, i welcome this investigation you know why whopper. do you know why i actually disagree with you, alex? because, you know, angela rayneris alex? because, you know, angela rayner is the larvae of the of the far left in the labour party. she was installed there by inherit. by momentum. she's the inherit. oh they the momentum group in the labour party are going to be absolutely appalled by this news. and i think keir starmer would happily see the back of angela rayner, who'll be scratching at the doors of 10 downing street as soon as he's in power. did try to demote

in power. he did try to demote her. in power. he did try to demote hen he in power. he did try to demote her. he did. he did that promotingbut you think >> yeah, but don't you think that actually that this whole thing actually is i think is classist? because i think that been tory that when it's been tory ministers done ministers that have done something , i feel like it's something, i feel like it's a lot more kind of. >> well, i don't think so. i thought that will wragg should have resigned immediately. i don't know why he's still a member parliament. thought member of parliament. i thought that it was completely wrong of angela around angela rayner to go around calling , and now calling tories scum, and now asks public sympathy asks for public sympathy and the benefit doubt. benefit of the doubt. extraordinary but that's not about class, is it? >> then why is it class? >> i think classist because >> i think it's classist because i angela rayner i actually think angela rayner is the perfect example of social mobility country. and mobility in this country. and because her living arrangements aren't kind of par with what aren't kind of to par with what tory ministers and the conservative party see as the nuclear kind of family in the uk , i feel as if they're picking that apart. >> but she's lied on the electoral roll. >> no, but i think that even the question to begin with and probing this, i feel as if the conservative party i don't think people should be able to ask. >> the point is, remember, she said , if you've lied to the

said, if once you've lied to the british public, all are off british public, all bets are off for our democracy. and she said that the minister that about the prime minister she wants to deputy prime she wants to be deputy prime minister. point is, minister. well, the point is, if the are now being the allegations are now being made that she has lied and her test was that if the police investigate you're in investigate you, if you're in high office, then you should resign. i don't believe that. no, think can i just no, but i think can i just clarify what she was saying about boris johnson? >> i that she was it was >> i think that she was it was partly about the investigation, but making but also because he was making rules within number 10. that number 10 was under investigation as well. and i think that that's what kind of ups when it comes to ups the ante. when it comes to whether he should resign or not. >> going read out angela >> i'm going to read out angela rayner's statement. okay. >> i'm going to read out angela raan'll statement. okay. >> i'm going to read out angela raan'll gettatement. okay. >> i'm going to read out angela raan'll get atement. okay. >> i'm going to read out angela raan'll get a bit ent. okay. >> i'm going to read out angela raan'll get a bit oft. okay. now i'll just get a bit of comment the back it. so comment off the back of it. so angela this. i've angela rayner said this. i've repeatedly welcome angela rayner said this. i've repechance welcome angela rayner said this. i've repechance sit welcome angela rayner said this. i've repechance sit down welcome angela rayner said this. i've repechance sit down with :ome angela rayner said this. i've repechance sit down with thee the chance to sit down with the appropriate authorities, including police hmrc, including the police and hmrc, to the facts and draw a to set out the facts and draw a line under this matter. i am completely confident i've followed at all times. followed the rules at all times. i've integrity i've always said that integrity and are important and accountability are important in that's it's in politics. that's why it's important urgently important that this is urgently looked at independently and without interference. without political interference. i apologies for having

i make no apologies for having held conservative ministers to account in the past. indeed the pubuc account in the past. indeed the public rightly expect me public would rightly expect me to the deputy of to do so as the deputy leader of the opposition. seen the opposition. we've seen the tory this playbook tory party use this playbook before reporting political opponents the police during opponents to the police during election campaigns to distract from record. i will say, from their record. i will say, as i did before, if i committed as i did before, if i committed a criminal offence, i would of course do the right thing and step down. the british public deserves know deserves politicians who know the them . the the rules apply to them. the questions raised relate to a time i was an mp and time before i was an mp and i have set out my family circumstances and take an expert tax and legal advice. i look forward to setting out the facts with the relevant authorities at the opportunity. >> different test to >> that is a different test to the one that she asked for before. the test that she asked for was if you were for before was that if you were investigated police, it investigated by the police, it wasn't starmer wasn't just her. keir starmer said too if the police said this too if the police investigate should investigate you, then you should resign that's they of resign. that's what they said of the iteration the the last iteration of the conservative it's conservative government. it's not that's not what i think, but that's what said. not what i think, but that's whtyeah, said. not what i think, but that's whtyeah, thisd. not what i think, but that's whtyeah, this is it. none of >> yeah, this is it. no, none of none are saying none of us are saying realistically that she absolutely based absolutely has to go based around the fact there's been an investigation. she's said it. keir and keir starmer has said it. and

that's really. that's the problem really. >> nothing wrong that's the problem really. >> holding nothing wrong that's the problem really. >> holding ministers| wrong that's the problem really. >> holding ministers to rong with holding ministers to account. that's the whole job of the frankly. but but the opposition, frankly. but but you can't throw the rule you can't then throw the rule book no, these book and say, no, these i haven't set new standards. now, when you as, as when it comes to you as, as andrea jenkins perfectly said, the british public do not like rules for you and rules for me. >> final comment to joanna. >> final comment to joanna. >> that's classy, that's classy. that's classism. that's real classism. >> problem do you >> how big a problem do you actually is for kids? >> how big a problem do you actllally is for kids? >> how big a problem do you act|i think is for kids? >> how big a problem do you act|i think it's is for kids? >> how big a problem do you act|i think it's a is for kids? >> how big a problem do you act|i think it's a complete ? >> how big a problem do you act|i think it's a complete storm >> i think it's a complete storm in a teacup. i think that when you compare people you compare it to other people like zahawi ended like nadhim zahawi who ended up, you evading you know, basically evading tax, that over £3 million that he that was over £3 million that he had to pay back to hmrc. i think it's completely different. and the public, when they're the british public, when they're looking actually are looking at this, actually are looking at this, actually are looking at this, actually are looking at angela rayner 15 years thinking that looking at angela rayner 15 years have thinking that looking at angela rayner 15 years have beeninking that looking at angela rayner 15 years have been me.|g that looking at angela rayner 15 years have been me.|g th was could have been me. she was living away her living a mile away from her husband. disabled husband. she's got a disabled child , i don't do you think it's child, i don't do you think it's a big problem for keir starmer child, i don't do you think it's a he problem for keir starmer child, i don't do you think it's a he goes?em for keir starmer if he goes? >> just want to point out >> also just want to point out nadhim he's not to nadhim zahawi he's not here to defend you think defend himself, so do you think he's if goes? defend himself, so do you think he"no, if goes? defend himself, so do you think he"no, i if goes? defend himself, so do you think he"no, i don't if goes? defend himself, so do you think he"no, i don't thinkf goes? defend himself, so do you think he"no, i don't think that goes? defend himself, so do you think he"no, i don't think that it's�*s? >> no, i don't think that it's a bit. well, could be actually bit. well, it could be actually to extent, because to an extent, because i think that rayner really

that angela rayner is really popular within labour party. popular within the labour party. exactly. and i think she represents people represents a lot of other people as does. and does come >> and it does. and it does come off of the guardians off the back of the guardians front today, which was all front page today, which was all about potentially about labour potentially losing in areas , left in some urban areas, left wing areas. interesting to in some urban areas, left wing areewhether interesting to in some urban areas, left wing areewhether or1teresting to in some urban areas, left wing areewhether or notesting to in some urban areas, left wing areewhether or notestin would see whether or not she would cause starmer any headaches there. coming as there. look, coming up as damning blows the lid damning research blows the lid off the claim that diversity boosts profits should businesses re—embrace just good old fashioned meritocracy? we'll debate that one. i'll deliver the first tomorrow's the very first of tomorrow's newspaper pages and next, newspaper front pages and next, as a man comes out of heatwave, hibernation to sue the government over climate change, there's a dangerous precedent now been set. i debate with climate party leader ed gamble . climate party leader ed gamble. you will not believe. you will not believe what one bloke is taking the government court taking the government to court for. tuned

welcome back to patrick christys. tonight absolutely bonkers story. this. but it could affect all of us. so after a group of swiss geriatrics alongside greta thunberg convinced the echr that their government had breached their human rights by failing to protect them from climate change, a dangerous precedent has been set, a precedent that could have far reaching consequences , including on these consequences, including on these shores. now, this is latest shores. now, this is the latest development . okay, that's development. okay, that's exactly what doug pauley, who is a 46 year old disability rights campaigner, is hoping . pauley, campaigner, is hoping. pauley, who suffers from diabetes, nerve damage and a heart condition

that meant that he apparently hibernates during heatwaves, is also now suing our government over the weather. so his legal challenge is this, along with friends of the earth and a man who lost his home to coastal erosion, it will be heard the erosion, it will be heard at the high court in june, where they will argue the government isn't doing enough to tackle climate change. so where does this madness i'm joined now madness end? well i'm joined now by the leader of the climate party, ed gemmell. by the leader of the climate party, ed gemmell . ed, with party, ed gemmell. ed, with respect, why should the government be sued by a man who has a variety of different issues, that the climate may or may not affect? why should we all be giving this guy a pay out ? >> 7. >>i ? >> i think 7— >> i think to ? >> i think to begin with? i mean, we've got to look at the fact that everybody has a right to protection. >> we should be looking after everybody, and we have a national look national health service to look after everybody anyway. that's a duty of care that governments have under the european convention on human rights. of course, of to deal specific duty of care to deal with these things. they must with these things. so they must be now, whether or not be doing it now, whether or not this case will through and this case will get through and whether government whether or not the government

will liable for will be found to be liable for it, to seen. but it, remains to be seen. but i think that in the sort of balance of evidence on that, you've look whether you've got to look at whether the actually the government is actually doing enough. has enough. i mean, there has already been challenge to the already been a challenge to the government. back two government. let's go back two years , where they years by clientearth, where they brought challenge the high brought a challenge in the high court, saying we don't court, which was saying we don't have plans which are credible in order to us net zero. order to get to us net zero. >> this guy has won almost all of the get this 40 disability discrimination cases he's launched over the last decade. this court case is supposed to be in june. if we have a hot june, he's supposed to be hibernating. isn't he ? hibernating. then isn't he? >> okay, possibly. >> yeah. i mean, okay, possibly. let's that we don't let's hope that that we don't have a hot june and that he's actually to get to the have a hot june and that he's actua and to get to the have a hot june and that he's actua and everythingto the have a hot june and that he's actua and everything else. what court and everything else. what would different would seem different is the previous taking previous cases he's been taking have to have been all related to disability . this is related to disability. this is related to climate change. >> of his >> but because of his disability, disproportionately >> but because of his disability, dihe oportionately >> but because of his disability, dihe oportiybecause of >> but because of his dis'disability, e oportiybecause of >> but because of his dis'disability, because ecause of >> but because of his dis'disability, because he'sse of his disability, because he's vulnerable , okay. vulnerable, okay. >> because of his >> not just because of his disability. who's disability. anybody who's vulnerable to those effects that are coming, let's look are coming, and let's just look at one second on a at it for one second on a climate change aspect just climate change aspect we just had ago confirmation climate change aspect we just had in ago confirmation climate change aspect we just

had in antarcticajo confirmation climate change aspect we just had in antarctica ,y confirmation climate change aspect we just had in antarctica , they irmation climate change aspect we just had in antarctica , they had tion that in antarctica, they had 38.5 degrees above the average temperature , so above the temperature, so above the average temperature. so just imagine that coming in june or july of this year. and let's hopeit july of this year. and let's hope it never does. but just imagine taking our average temperature of 20 or 25 degrees. >> had wettest april >> we just had the wettest april on record. >> we just had the wettest april on we've just had nearly >> we've just had nearly 10% extra over these extra water in over these previous which of course previous months, which of course has caused huge problems flooding, being gouged flooding, potholes, being gouged out and all these other things. and potentially going to be and it's potentially going to be a problem for our farmers, of course, coming through, although the ridiculous of course course, coming through, although thethat:ulous of course course, coming through, although thethat:ulous off of course course, coming through, although thethat:ulous off topicyurse course, coming through, although thethat:ulous off topic here, on that getting off topic here, but part that on that getting off topic here, wae're part that on that getting off topic here, wae're going part that on that getting off topic here, wae're going to part that on that getting off topic here, wae're going to apparentlyiat on that getting off topic here, wae're going to apparently go is we're going to apparently go into drought we into a drought because we haven't water haven't stored all the water that's coming. different haven't stored all the water that's but coming. different haven't stored all the water that's but actually|. different haven't stored all the water that's but actually looking nt haven't stored all the water that's but actually looking at issue. but actually looking at this, having, this, we could be having, you know, a freak degree has just know, a freak 40 degree has just happened in antarctica. >> where >> where does this but where does right. someone does this end at. right. someone born with lung, right. who born with one lung, right. who also asthma , who also happens to have asthma, who lives through, you know, who was born next to like a railway line or something, or born next to the m1. do they sue the government for not doing enough

to protect them? i mean, that's the logical end to this, and that's madness, as you know. >> you know, we've debated ulez, you know, low traffic neighbourhoods and all these sorts here which which sorts of things here which which link quality. link in with air quality. and people taking action people have been taking action related air quality all related to air quality in all different levels of different sorts of levels of both other other both courts and other other appeals. so it's not unusual for people take action based on people to take action based on damage to their health. >> if we are looking at and i am not to diminish the not trying to diminish the vulnerability disability vulnerability and the disability of this person, but if we reduce our government's level of responsibility to the lowest common denominator of people, okay, then we will not be able to function as a country. in order to cater for this man's needs, we would have to sink into the ocean. >> yeah. i mean, we're mixing a number of different issues here to some extent. and i mean, it actually comes down to when you're looking at at that kind of level, you're starting to come down to funding issues and everything actually everything else. and actually how do we have how much money do we have available and after available to fund and look after people of different people in all sorts of different circumstances? people in all sorts of different

circumzyou've? people in all sorts of different circumzyou've heard arguments you've you've heard arguments which this which have been aired on this show local show before about local government funding, children's services, and all services, adult services and all that sort of thing. and then how can you spread across can you spread that money across everybody satisfactorily to make sure a good life? sure they all have a good life? it's . so there's no it's difficult. so there's no question there's difficulty here. back to the legal question there's difficulty here of back to the legal question there's difficulty here of thereto the legal question there's difficulty here of thereto tilegalal part of it is there are legal obugafions part of it is there are legal obligations on government, obligations on the government, both under the climate change act in of emissions act in terms of the emissions they be you they should be getting. you know, for emissions. know, the pathway for emissions. and european and under the european convention to human rights convention of to human rights protect people, is protect vulnerable people, is there evidence there is there any evidence whatsoever if we had done whatsoever that if we had done just more in terms just a little bit more in terms of the climate that a bloke's house would not have been lost due to coastal erosion? of course i couldn't tell you now that if we if we managed to reduce our emissions by another 5, the guy's house wouldn't have gone. it's it's gone. i mean, it's a it's a very, very difficult one. >> i mean, this, you know, it's the sea. the world has the sea. we've like india, we've got countries like india, china, pumping out all that china, etc. pumping out all that stuff. there's nothing could stuff. there's nothing we could have there have done, sadly. is there sadly, person has sadly, because this person has lost feel for lost something, i do feel for them . there's nothing we could them. there's nothing we could have done to that

have done to stop that happening. we paying for that? >> $- @ i'll tell you that? >> i'll tell you what. >> well, i'll tell you what. let's it little let's just switch it a little bit, keep fairly bit, but keep it on a fairly similar mean, similar topic. i mean, i'm actually forward actually looking forward to the first comes says first case that comes that says to the uk government, you haven't done enough the haven't done enough to build the economy here because this direction this direction of net zero is this enormous commercial opportunity direction of net zero is this enorwer commercial opportunity direction of net zero is this enorwe should nercial opportunity direction of net zero is this enorwe should be cial opportunity direction of net zero is this enorwe should be pursuing.tunity that we should be pursuing. and why pursuing why aren't you pursuing it? because pursued and we because if you pursued it and we had more money in the pot had a lot more money in the pot here, able for here, we able to pay for protection needed, whether it's for people for house, for vulnerable people or the or for anything else. the government isn't enough in government isn't doing enough in a cases. some a lot of different cases. some of are covered, of of those things are covered, of course, by laws moment course, by laws at the moment where sued. and some where they can be sued. and some aren't. i wish we had law that aren't. i wish we had a law that said government doing said the government isn't doing enough economy . it's enough to grow our economy. it's not of the not taking account of the direction the direction of travel or the entire should entire world and it should be. and getting it and we'd like to be getting it done we can pay for done so that we can pay for these . these things. >> this guy could >> this guy, if this guy could take government to court take the government to court over they're over whether or not they're doing tackle climate doing enough to tackle climate change because of his vulnerabilities, know, vulnerabilities, you know, could could who lived next to could people who lived next to a migrant hotel not take the government to court over the issues own personal issues with their own personal safety, have thought safety, i would have thought under of under the european convention of human could take human rights, they could take the court. whether the government to court. whether they'd completely

they'd win is completely different. know different. and we don't know this to win either. this guy is going to win either. we good track record. we are not a good track record. oh he has got a good oh no, no, he has got a good track and know, and track record and you know, and let's actually push let's hope that we actually push push and let's hope that we actually push pus some and let's hope that we actually push pus some of and let's hope that we actually push pus some of these and let's hope that we actually push pus some of these things and get some of these things happening look thank you happening because look thank you very, much. happening because look thank you vengreat much. happening because look thank you vengreat mhave you on the show >> great to have you on the show as leader of as ever. that is the leader of the party there. ed the climate party there. ed gemmell, thank gemmell, right. look, thank you very that, pawley gemmell, right. look, thank you very said that, pawley gemmell, right. look, thank you very said this. that, pawley gemmell, right. look, thank you verysaid this. ihat, pawley gemmell, right. look, thank you verysaid this. i kind pawley gemmell, right. look, thank you verysaid this. i kind agree/ley has said this. i kind of agree with al and greta thunberg with al gore and greta thunberg that adapting that concentrating on adapting to change is admitting to climate change is admitting defeat in tackling climate change given we are change itself. but given we are seeing climate change now and people and dying people are suffering and dying around world a result, around the world as a result, it's important that it's incredibly important that governments put in suitable plans mitigate plans to mitigate the impacts coming fans the coming up. saudi fans on the lash football . well, i'll lash at the football. well, i'll tell you what the heck is going on there, bernard . i will bring on there, bernard. i will bring you the very first of tomorrow's newspaper front pages. don't go anywhere. this patrick anywhere. this is patrick christys tonight . but yeah. what anywhere. this is patrick crthis,; tonight . but yeah. what

a? welcome back to patrick christys tonight. it's time now for the very first look at tomorrow's front pages. let's do it right. i'm going in with the telegraph. raina. i will quit if guilty over house row. and that, of course, is a story that we've covered quite a lot here so far this evening. but the one at the bottom of it there, tory mps, phil gibraltar concessions over trade mps feeling that phil gibraltar concessions over tradgovernment feeling that phil gibraltar concessions over tradgovernment haseeling that phil gibraltar concessions over tradgovernment has made that the government has made concessions in trade talks on gibraltar . let's go to the gibraltar. let's go to the mirror. bring it on. labour's angela, i welcome scrutiny. i'll step down if i've broken the law. let's go to the times. pressure on starmer as police look into deputy. can i just say we have been absolutely banging the drum for this on this show for very, very long time and for a very, very long time and now everybody is finally picking it to the daily it up. let's go to the daily mail. rayner i'll quit if i'm found guilty. also, an exclusive with number 10 was

with liz truss number 10 was like a soulless cage like living in a soulless cage with fleas. she says. the book everyone's talking about. well, there we go. right. okay, let's whiz you over to a couple of other stories that are going to be absolutely massive for you tomorrow. and of course, here to help do i've got help me do that, i've got conservative parliamentary candidate alex dean, entrepreneur social entrepreneur and social commentator, joana jarjue and political alex political commentator alex armstrong . so spain forced the armstrong. so spain forced the uk to cancel a red arrows display over gibraltar. the spanish official had said that spain considered the display to be unnecessary, unconstructive and provocative . this was not and provocative. this was not the time to undertake this sort of activity . another line in the of activity. another line in the notes read apparently when someone underlined that this was an air show, not intended for provocative provocation or demonstration , i can't even read demonstration, i can't even read this tonight. her riposte was that the two were not mutually exclusive. right? okay. anyway, look, alex dean, your views on this, the spanish saying that we

can't fly the red over a red arrows over a bit of ireland that we own. >> so this is actually a story from last year. it's emerged now. but it was the summer of 2023 when the display was supposed to take place. and you've ask yourself, why you've got to ask yourself, why is out now? is this story coming out now? and the answer is the government's on the verge of signing a deal with spain over access across border and access across the border and some people don't like it and have sat on this material for a while and release it now in an attempt to stoke up some, some issues. now there is an issue , issues. now there is an issue, right? because you shouldn't. we gibraltar is sovereign territory . it's not part of spain, it's part of our country. and we're entitled to have an air show above it. but you've got to be realistic . it's above it. but you've got to be realistic. it's a very small part of land spain right to part of land with spain right to next it. and the spanish have got a lot of military presence. yeah of course. and what the other thing comes out in other thing that comes out in the of this story that the course of this story is that our elizabeth, our flagship, queen elizabeth, was supposed to visit gibraltar and didn't in the end, because they were about

they were worried about sensitivities, because the spanish had objected that. spanish had objected to that. >> that bit of land. >> two, we own that bit of land. it's brits live it. it's ours. brits live on it. we've to be sure. we've got to be sure. >> the point, the point i'm si king the point i'm seeking to make both the non visit king the point i'm seeking to m'the both the non visit king the point i'm seeking to m'the queen both the non visit king the point i'm seeking to m'the queen elizabethion visit king the point i'm seeking to m'the queen elizabeth and'isit king the point i'm seeking to m'the queen elizabeth and the of the queen elizabeth and the non—red arrows display, were kept quiet diplomatically until now, and someone's chosen to leak it. >> okay, i mean, other alex, i'll go to you on this. apparently, the government has made concessions in trade talks on in to appease on gibraltar in order to appease spain and reach post—brexit spain and reach a post—brexit trade deal . are we just being trade deal. are we just being too weak in. i mean, why on earth should we listen to them when it says don't fly the red arrows over that rock? >> oh, you took the words out of my is the is the is my mouth. weak is the is the is the of on this one. the word of the day on this one. you what really is you know, what really is concerning the david concerning is that the david cameron and sunak are inching closer zone. the closer to the schengen zone. the eu as a solution eu schengen zone, as a solution to this land border with to solving this land border with gibraltar and spain . it's just gibraltar and spain. it's just another demonstration of how weak the tories have become on brexit. they seem uncommitted to filling this role and also weak

with our military. we've got one of the best militaries in the world and we're scared. of what? upsetting the spanish, for goodness sake. >> think it's >> i don't think it's necessarily weakness. i necessarily about weakness. i think another think gibraltar is another oversight. you oversight. compare when you compare northern ireland. compare it to northern ireland. it's another one where, you know if they are of making if they are kind of making concessions , it's probably concessions, it's probably because have and because they kind of have to and we're on the back foot, we're kind of on the back foot, in opinion. think that in my opinion. so i think that they try to appease them they will try to appease them just to get something over the line another tick to line and to get another tick to say brexit is actually say that brexit is actually working won't into say that brexit is actually worfiner won't into say that brexit is actually worfiner details won't into say that brexit is actually worfiner details of fon't into say that brexit is actually worfiner details of what into say that brexit is actually worfiner details of what people) the finer details of what people actually brexit to actually want a real brexit to be like, not going closer to the schengen zone. >> i don't think it's an oversight. i campaigned for brexit to gibraltar brexit and i went to gibraltar because of the issues you're talking about, and campaigned talking about, and i campaigned there the there too, not just in the united kingdom, but i make the separate ambassador, separate point. this ambassador, this our ambassador to spain, who wanted these who wanted to make these concessions spanish , is concessions to the spanish, is the ambassador who got into concessions to the spanish, is the argument bassador who got into concessions to the spanish, is the argument withador who got into concessions to the spanish, is theargument with dominic got into concessions to the spanish, is theargument with dominic raab,|to an argument with dominic raab, who said you're being too soft in negotiations ultimately in negotiations and ultimately his complaint to his complaint is what led to dominic resignation. dominic raab resignation. so there's form here. there's a there's form here. this is not the first time but

cracking insight. >> it's been quite the >> now look it's been quite the week woke ideologies week for woke ideologies being humiliated by common sense studies. and here's another one for you. new research from econ journal watch has found that there is no evidence that diverse management teams boost profits, casting doubts on existing studies by mckinsey consultancy . see. so. the consultancy. see. so. the mckinsey research has been widely used by business groups and campaigners to advocate for changes in the way employers recruit staff and apprentices. joanna is it time for businesses to abandon die embrace just good old fashioned meritocracy? >> absolutely not. and i think that, you know, to kind of obviously it was good for diversity and inclusion to have a case to say that, you know, profits actually align with the dni, solutions. but i think that, you know, this is about society as well. it's about giving people opportunity. when we talk about diversity and inclusion, when it comes to female leaders and having more ceos and the ftse companies, we don't kind of don't .

don't kind of don't. >> we just want them to be the best for the job. i mean, this is the thing you're if you is the thing if you're if you are on dragons den and are going on dragons den and you're investment you're after investment and you say, look, okay, the say, look, okay, this is the business plan, this is the profits, is the thing. but profits, this is the thing. but what going is what i'm also going to do is just completely randomly introduce of that introduce a load of people that won't way , shape or form won't in any way, shape or form make business any better. make the business any better. then what's the point? >> it doesn't make sense >> because it doesn't make sense that, for example, when you look at ceos that run the at all of the ceos that run the biggest companies this biggest companies in this country, that they just miraculously are white men, that, you know, over the age of 40 or over the age of 50. realistically, if you opened it up and actually gave other people chance, you'd be people a chance, you'd be able to get opportunity. you get to get that opportunity. you get more women boards, you get more women on boards, you get more women on boards, you get more it's not just more women ceos. it's not just about race. >> no evidence >> what if there's no evidence that anything at all? >> well, i was just going to say just point, on the dei just on that point, on the dei point, it's the same point, you know, it's the same as of, snp's humza as the sort of, the snp's humza useless going white, white, white, white, white, about every person who runs something, an institution in scotland, it doesn't it shouldn't make a difference whether you're white

or brown or black or whatever skin colour you are. it positive discrimination. the key word in it discrimination. and we're it is discrimination. and we're seeing a lot of young white boys being not able to get into jobs because losing out based because they're losing out based on colour . i because they're losing out based on colour. i don't on their skin colour. i don't think the problem i don't think this is debate this is a debate about diversity. think is diversity. i think this is a debate in research debate about rigour in research and mckinsey refused to allow anyone to have sight of the data they'd looked at for their conclusions, or how they'd reached those conclusions. now there is a veneer of the dei debate over the top of that, which is that because it had such a positive conclusion for what wanted believe what people wanted to believe about the workplace, nobody actually challenged them and said, have come these said, how have you come to these conclusions? think conclusions? but i think actually extraordinary that actually it's extraordinary that the first time someone really went and said, can we went to them and said, can we test data at it? test this data and look at it? mckinsey said, no, this case study talked about. so study has been talked about. so broadly much in broadly and used so much in business. actually a business. this isn't actually a dei debate at all. it's about somebody who's a somebody who's championed a research that they're not actually willing to stand up. >> well, think that >> yeah, well, but i think that evenin

>> yeah, well, but i think that even in argument, when even in this argument, when people about diversity people do talk about diversity and , it is a factor and inclusion, it is a factor that about profits. that they talk about profits. but it's all of but i don't think it's all of it. and i don't think it's the leading either. think leading factor either. i think society changing . leading factor either. i think soc can changing . leading factor either. i think soc can cha say,g . leading factor either. i think soc can cha say, and actually, >> can i just say, and actually, that's fair, but that's >> can i just say, and actually, thatwhat fair, but that's >> can i just say, and actually, thatwhat mckinseyyut that's >> can i just say, and actually, thatwhat mckinsey said.at's >> can i just say, and actually, thatwhat mckinsey said. can i not what mckinsey said. can i just just i would be i just can i just say i would be i think would be really upset think you would be really upset as joanna, if as well by this, joanna, if i gave you job and said the only gave you a job and said the only reason you got over reason you got this job over someone else because you're someone else is because you're a black course. right. black woman. of course. right. and think that what and i think that is what the crux the is, is like, crux of the problem is, is like, you get the job because you crux of the problem is, is like, youthe get the job because you crux of the problem is, is like, youthe best the job because you crux of the problem is, is like, youthe best person because you crux of the problem is, is like, youthe best person forcause you crux of the problem is, is like, youthe best person for that; you are the best person for that job. would have, but job. and i would i have, but would have even had the would i have even had the opportunity to be considered? >> stages >> it's about also the stages before when talk before that. and when we talk about this, about stuff like this, especially comes especially when it comes to higher levels management, especially when it comes to higialsozvels management, especially when it comes to higialso about management, especially when it comes to higialso about middlegement, it's also about middle management and the management as well, and the route and the route to get there and the opportunities there . opportunities to get there. okay, it's much broader. okay, so it's much broader. >> right. good stuff, >> all right. good stuff, now look , here's when look, here's the moment when a spectator football match spectator at a football match got whipped up by rage at his team losing at the saudi super cup watch okay, cup last night. watch okay, there he is. >> you see here, the player comes over and the whip comes

out. >> let's just. yeah, i think we're going to replay that a couple of times here. so essentially this is the al ittihad striker abderrazak hamdallah household name getting assaulted with an actual stone age like whip by a fan after he threw water in his direction dunng threw water in his direction during a confrontation . the team during a confrontation. the team were beaten four one by al—hilal. so the whole thing is completely justified, clearly. but yeah, he's coming over but yeah, look, he's coming over slate water, he's got the whip out he's he's genuinely out and he's he's genuinely started lashing a striker. i mean , goodness gracious me. mean, goodness gracious me. there you go. i made the point earlier on who carries a whip around. and i thought well maybe this is a common thing in saudi arabia don't know. look arabia i don't know. but look coming from one thing coming up from one thing completely bonkers to another thing completely bonkers, what's happening . here? i'll reveal all happening. here? i'll reveal all and more of tomorrow's newspaper front pages. stay tuned

okay. welcome back. i've got more of tomorrow's front pages for you. let's do it. more of tomorrow's front pages for you. let's do it . okay. for you. let's do it. okay. we're going with the sun nightmare. gordon's posh eatery invaded by squatters. exclusive. ramsay's kitchen. so a gang of squatters has set up home in tele chef gordon ramsay. swanky £13 million pub. so it must be a big pub that they used his own cooking appliances to barricade themselves inside the grade two listed building near regent's park in central london. so it's interesting, though, isn't it? i remember when people did something very similar at one of gary neville's ventures, and obviously between obviously he was caught between a place because a rock and a hard place because he's labour he's essentially a labour party activist and activist now, isn't he? and he was well, i can't seen was like, well, i can't be seen evicting squatters, i think evicting squatters, but i think they it on the they might have done it on the q.t. the independent q.t. anyway, the independent exclusive we exclusive nhs chief, we must stamp surge in sex assaults

stamp out surge in sex assaults on staff. this is our metoo moment right now . chief moment right now. chief executive as she announces crackdown on abuse of doctors and nurses. they say that there's obviously been a massive rise and it needs to stop by members of the public or by by each other . so the members of the public or by by each other. so the independent has highlighted shocking sexual abuse in the abuse against staff in the health service. they said it's, abuse faced by doctors and nurses. i'm trying to get to the point where it says he's actually doing this, actually. >> public. actually doing this, actually. >> it's public. actually doing this, actually. >> it's suspected ublic. actually doing this, actually. >> it's suspected it's c. actually doing this, actually. >> it's suspected it's the public, including, unfortunately, being unfortunately, rape, being groped pornography . so groped or shown pornography. so look, very, very serious stuff there on front of the there on the front of the independent daily express, hunt, we've hard yards . now i we've done the hard yards. now i will cut taxes and bet on growth. chancellor says it's time to release the handbrake on the economy issues . we go to the the economy issues. we go to the guardian, end cruel prosecution of carers. sunak urged the scandalous prosecution of unpaid carers uncovered by the guardian must end now, and an inquiry launched immediately , as rishi launched immediately, as rishi sunak being told let's go to the

eye for the final front page of the day. uk intelligence officials targeted in honeytrap sex plots by chinese spies. british intelligence officers are being repeatedly targeted in blackmail attempts. chinese agents try to start sexual relationships in a bid to compromise security, while . compromise security, while. there we go. right. okay. just, one i would like to focus on, a bit quickly here, really, i think is this, this nhs exclusive that we've got on the independent? i mean, it is absolutely staggering, really , absolutely staggering, really, that you can end up in a situation where this really does take i i'm not take place. i mean, i'm not really what is. really sure what the answer is. apart are going to end apart from, are we going to end up officers up with police officers essentially chaining themselves to just loitering in a&e? >> police are often in a&e anyway. if they've accompanied someone who's been injured in the course of a suspected offence, you'll find police officers , in in e wards officers, in in e wards throughout their entire shift and then get replaced afterwards. police officers are also currently at least often in hospitals because they're

accompanying mental accompanying people on mental health issues. and it's one of the things that chief constables have got to stop the things that chief constables have if got to stop the things that chief constables have if we're got to stop the things that chief constables have if we're going to stop the things that chief constables have if we're going to free» the things that chief constables have if we're going to free up doing if we're going to free up police we're supposed police to do what we're supposed to doing, got get to be doing, they've got to get over to the over this. but i return to the question you when we question i asked you when we were at the headlines, were looking at the headlines, because obviously both because i think obviously both are bad. it's the public are bad. if it's the public assaulting the staff of the nhs, then we've got to protect our doctors and nurses . if it's a doctors and nurses. if it's a cultural issue within the nhs andifs cultural issue within the nhs and it's being done by one another, it's doctors raping another, if it's doctors raping doctors groping up doctors or nurses groping up other nurses, can i just say, yeah, i'm just getting i'm just getting a bit more detail on this now from my wonderful colleagues the glass colleagues behind the glass there been able read there who have been able to read more on story. more detail on this story. >> appears to >> they're saying it appears to be of both be a combination of both patients and staff, which is staggering . it implies that staggering. it implies that there's a just a devastating culture. maybe in society generally doesn't see, i suppose. joanna. >> oh yeah. absolutely i mean, like alex said, if it is the to pubuc like alex said, if it is the to public doctors, i think a&e we know that is absolute chaos. anyway if anybody's ever been in

there in terms of just violence, you know, so i think that it's a conversation that we don't really enough of really probably have enough of how they can actually safeguard their staff. i believe in everything it comes everything when it comes to diversity inclusion, diversity and inclusion, but i think this is another think that also this is another side of things that they should implement training on to, implement proper training on to, to help doctors and nurses stay safe. >> yeah, i mean, sense this is >> yeah, i mean, i sense this is going be a big story for, for going to be a big story for, for quite a to come, as it quite a while to come, as it should really. i suppose should be, really. i suppose it's independence exclusive it's the independence exclusive that i'm just going to move things slightly now, because things on slightly now, because we bit for time we are a bit pressed for time and, for something and, it's time for something completely different, as they say. is say. two other news elvis is recovering after dental recovering after routine dental surgery week. no, not that surgery this week. no, not that elvis . i surgery this week. no, not that elvis. i am talking about the 15.5ft crocodile who had seven australian zookeepers in a frenzy as they tried to fix his ingrown tooth to have a little look . look. >> myself in the team have jumped on him . jumped on him. >> i dived straight into his head. i've got my arms around his doors like this, and then all of a they're under first. >> yeah, under.
