one horrible person come up to me in real life and, you know, be as abusive as, say, some people are on twitter. well, that's the same here. everyone goes, oh, no, no, no, quit. well i didn't agree with you on that. but do you know why? it's because i'm in person now and i could just look at that and say, yeah, what? what what about it? so yeah. and anyway, most people are just, you know, people are being horrible on twitter because they can do it on a keyboard and you can't see them. >> but look, it's great to be back. and thank you for watching gb news and for your support and for your kind comments. it means a lot and we will continue fighting for you. so i said, what have i missed? and of course the big one overnight, donald trump. he's vowed to keep fighting after he was found guilty of all counts in his new york, hush money trial. >> now he faces possible jail time over his convictions for covering up payments to adult film star stormy daniels. did you see that programme on channel five? they did a whole thing. stormy daniels it was really interesting. and basically he paid her to buy her silence over an alleged affair he set to be sentenced in just over a week's time. >> yes, president trump left the courtroom furious. here's what he had to say and count. by the way, how many times he says

figged? >> this was a disgrace. >> this was a disgrace. >> this was a disgrace. >> this was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt . it's a rigged trial, a disgrace . this was a rigged, disgrace. this was a rigged, disgraceful trial . but the real disgraceful trial. but the real verdict is going to be november fifth by the people. and they know what happened here. and everybody knows what happened here. our whole country is being figged here. our whole country is being rigged right now. this was done by the biden administration . by the biden administration. >> on how many did you get? i got four. well paul duddridge is the host of the politics people podcast. he's here to give us the latest. now, paul duddridge, really good to see you at this time. what time is it where you are? it must be like 3:00 or 1:37 am, are? it must be like 3:00 or 1:37 a.m,1:37 a.m. are? it must be like 3:00 or 1:37 a.m,1:37 am. god. well, listen, i couldn't sleep. >> i couldn't sleep after the verdict. >> i'm sorry. i've been tossing and turning . i had to come and and turning. i had to come and talk to you. no, don't worry about it. it's middle of the night , but i about it. it's middle of the night, but i won't be sleeping. put on a pot of coffee. >> good, good. now, listen, paul >> good, good. now, listen, paul, was this a shock to the american people, or was this as expected? >> yeah, it wasn't it wasn't a

shock when you've got when you're being prosecuted by the manhattan district attorney who campaigned . campaigned. >> he campaigned on going after trump. i don't think the, i don't think the verdict was a shock to anybody. it would have been a shock if he'd actually been, exonerated, found guilty, found not guilty. >> and , paul, this is surely >> and, paul, this is surely going to invigorate his base. i mean, we saw in 2016 with the comments donald trump was unearthed to have made about having it easy with women because of his fame. what happened then was his support just grew and grew. are we going to see the same thing here, or do you think this will have, a fatal effect, perhaps on his white house credentials ? white house credentials? >> listen, it's already begun. the very first snap polls have come out , and the very first snap polls have come out, and in fact, it's actually persuaded many of the some of the, i won't say many, some of the, i won't say many, some independent voters to support trump. and if you read , support trump. and if you read, twitter or, or whatever it's

called these days , there's called these days, there's definitely a mood where come on, this is a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut kind of, vibe about this whole thing. it's definitely, if there's been any effect, it's been positive for donald trump and his campaign and that's according to the very first polls. i was waiting with bated breath to see what actual impact that would have. i always, you know , it felt like always, you know, it felt like it wasn't going to make any difference. and i don't think it's going to make any difference to the ultimate result, which is still months away. november the 5th is months and months away. the dust will settle from this. i mean, look, you know, nana, i bug you every week. look how we felt about the, trump , week. look how we felt about the, trump, mug week. look how we felt about the, trump , mug shot week. look how we felt about the, trump, mug shot in georgia. that was the photo that broke the internet, and people can't even remember that now. it's this will be a stormy in a teacup for want of a better word, a teacup. >> i like that. listen, what about joe biden , though? because about joe biden, though? because like, donald trump is the first president ever to be charged in this way. but joe biden, despite persistent allegations that the laptop contents indicated that

there was some corruption involved and everything, how come joe biden has seemed to escape scrutiny? surely this is a similar kind of thing because the prosecutors and certainly the prosecutors and certainly the prosecutors and certainly the prosecutors in this case are democrats. >> frankly , this is lawfare. >> frankly, this is lawfare. this is exactly what's happened. we can count the number of times that trump said rigged because it kind of is, you know, it's not so much who votes. it's who count the vote, who counts the votes. and it's like it's not necessarily the actions. look, you make a very good point, trump. this is the first time this has happened as a criminal case. this is the lowest level felony that you can actually commit in new york i think it's called an e category . both called an e category. both hillary's campaign in 2016, in 2016 and, obama in 2008 were both find those were treated as misdemeanours and they were both campaigns were fined for, what

do they call it, campaign funding irregularities. exactly the same that accusations are being levelled against trump campaigns do get fined for misappropriation of funds or miss filing. trump's is the first to be treated as a criminal felony, as opposed to a misdemeanour where there is a feeling that this is one law for trump and one law for everyone else. >> okay, paul, thanks very much. appreciate your time. >> thank you. paul, get some sleep . sleep. >> get some sleep. not sure if you saw megan kelly's comments in the us overnight. she basically said that now this. so called political politicisation of the justice system. if and when trump gets back in, the floodgates have opened. no holds barred. well, will he now potentially , if he gets back in potentially, if he gets back in the white house, go after his enemies, enemies in the same way he would argue the democrats have gone after him, i don't know, but they call it lawfare these days. >> i think it's, he has opened this has opened a can of worms. >> yeah. okay. well, look, moving on. british and us forces have struck houthi rebel targets in yemen in the fifth combined

operations since january. >> the ministry of defence confirmed strikes took place against the iranian backed group yesterday . now, all of this was yesterday. now, all of this was part of a response to the houthi attacks on international shipping in the red sea. >> gb news reporter charlie peters joins us now in the studio. good morning, charlie, thanks for joining us. studio. good morning, charlie, thanks forjoining us. what's thanks for joining us. what's the latest then there was two sites. >> i believe you're very high up, charlie. okay well, i'll lower myself for a later hit if we need to. >> well , there were 13 targets >> well, there were 13 targets hit yesterday across two different sites, and the main site was the port city of hodeidah, where the houthis have a significant command and control operation. it's a fourth largest city in yemen. and it's a significant area for their base of operations. and from there, we know that raf typhoons and us f—18s struck both long—range drone facilities there. but also some anti—air surface to air missiles who were which were being stored in that location. that's key because this month , us forces in the red this month, us forces in the red sea and indeed across the arabian peninsula have had some difficulty with their so—called

reaper drones being shot down. now, the houthis say they've they've shot down three. looking at the evidence they've provided, i think they have almost certainly taken down two. there's a remote chance that the third reaper drone that they've hit isn't american , or has been hit isn't american, or has been reproduced from a former target. there are no markings on it. so that's a bit uncertain, but it's clear that there have been some losses in the sky. this is the fifth joint operation, as you said, but the us has conducted many of its own strikes in yemen since this response to the naval blockade began. britain's forces have to fly down from cyprus, from raf akrotiri, floating an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the eastern mediterranean . they the eastern mediterranean. they have to be refuelled on the way down there, which i think reveals sort of the limited approach that britain can have in this operation. meanwhile the us do have an aircraft carrier in the red sea and also their ships can launch ship to land strikes , whereas british strikes, whereas british destroyers and frigates don't have that capability . a bit of have that capability. a bit of an issue. now, the big question, i think that many analysts are asking on the back of these

strikes last night is are we any closer to ending this naval blockade? this has been going on as you've said, for several months now, and the rate of attacks have been reduced. and we heard from rishi sunak, his view on how he thinks that the british response is going to this crisis . this crisis. >> well, what about the always said that we will not hesitate and i will not hesitate to protect british interests abroad and at home. there is an ongoing threat that the houthis pose. 197 attacks since november. all our intelligence indicates that previous sets of strikes have been successful in degrading military capabilities of the houthis, targeting supply, command and control and launch sites for drones and missiles. and there is also a risk in inaction that would damage the global economy and further risk our international security . our international security. >> well, rishi sunak and other world leaders have said that these strikes do reduce the rate and the efficacy of the houthi response, but it's clear that they're going to continue because when you're dealing with

targeting , especially attacks on targeting, especially attacks on the ground, the three f's find, fix and finish finding is pretty straightforward. we have extensive surveillance capabilities in the arabian peninsula, but fixing these targets is very difficult. they're light, they're mobile, they're agile . and the houthis they're agile. and the houthis can move their drones and their missile launch facilities at a moment's notice. so being able to remove all of them, even with the enormous western firepower in the region, that's a crisis. the houthis know it. and in effect, they have the strategic upper hand. they can keep launching those missiles into the red sea, blocking maritime shipping and having possibly a greater impact on the money in our pockets . our pockets. >> okay, charlie peters, thanks very much. appreciate it. i wonder if we'll see more chance of yemen. yemen. do us proud. turn those ships around . turn turn those ships around. turn another ship around and palestine off process right . palestine off process right. >> well, listen up next, the civil war within the labour party continues as angela rayner breaks ranks against sir keir starmer. we'll bring you the latest. you're with britain's newsroom on

gb news. >> 949 ben and anna with you on britain's newsroom on gb news. now, labour's deputy leader angela rayner says she doesn't see any reason why veteran mp of the labour party, diane abbott, can't stand with the party at the next general election in july. >> now diane abbott had the labour whip restored this week after a long suspension . she after a long suspension. she accused sir keir starmer of culling the party's left wing. >> we're now joined by peter edwards, former editor of labourlist . good morning, peter. labourlist. good morning, peter. in the times today, senior labour sources said that angela rayner's comments were, quote, deeply unhelpful. is there a clear rift now developing in the higher echelons of the labour party? >> i wouldn't put it quite like that. there might be a different sort of perspective, but i'm not sure how much, tension the

pubuc sure how much, tension the public will pay. i still think the treatment of diane abbott is very important, but i think what will decide the election is the things that we spend most of our time talking about nhs inflation, immigration, cost of living and so on and so on. >> what do you think? the labour party are slightly relieved that our focus is on diane abbott at the moment, because obviously in this electoral campaign we want to hear what the parties have to offer, and this feels like a distraction from policy and i wouldn't use that word relieved at all. >> i mean, labour had quite a big policy push on knife crime today from the, from this week on, from the shadow home affairs team. well, exactly. and some of that that was drowned out. so i think they'd much rather talk about the policy issues. and if you think about keir starmer, he's such a serious person. some critics in the media have suggested he's boring, but he's pretty sober. i think as a former prosecutor he'd much prefer to talk about things like knife crime rather than individual candidates . and even individual candidates. and even though the treatment of diane abbott is important because she's been a trailblazer, do you think there's a purge of the left wing in the labour party?

>> because, of course, you had the brighton kemptown mp russell—moyle, who was told that he couldn't stand because he was going through a complaints procedure, is that, is there any truth to that accusation? >> no, no, i don't, and we've got to keep clear in our mind two different things. one is leaders of all parties , select leaders of all parties, select candidates over five years that they're on the same page as politically that david cameron did, that tony blair, ed miliband and so on and so on. but you use the word p word purge . i don't believe that at purge. i don't believe that at all. and i think although jeremy corbyn left the parliamentary party many years ago, his chief ally, someone like john mcdonnell, continued to serve in the parliamentary labour party, you know, and if john mcdonnell, speaking up as a labour mp, that doesn't tell you that they're against the people who are a bit more to the left, do you personally think, diane. >> sorry, nana do you think diane abbott should be able to stand again as a labour mp? and also if she if she doesn't and she stands as an independent, how is that seat going to be fought? would she potentially, as an independent perhaps have won over on labour? >> i don't know, i mean it's possible, as you say, one outcome we already know jeremy

corbyn's got an independent campaign in islington north, where he was the labour mp for 40 odd years. one outcome from everything we're talking about is diane abbott could end up as independent candidate . and what independent candidate. and what was happened in hackney there i don't know. i mean it's too hard, too hard to call. >> why did why did it take so long then for the labour party or sir keir starmer to tell us of diane abbott's fate ? i mean, of diane abbott's fate? i mean, apparently it was sorted out in december, but yet we didn't really hear much about it. why is this dragged on? >> well, the key thing to bear in mind in labour party processes can be quite byzantine. it's not the responsibility of the leader, it's the various committees, including the disciplinary committee of the national executive committee. and so we might be all be drowning in acronyms , but the nec has acronyms, but the nec has another meeting to endorse candidates next week, and that's why it's still running. so this is not a political management issue, like the leadership or a bill in parliament or getting support for a policy. this is a labour procedural issue, albeit with a human being at the heart of it as well. >> but peter aunt angela rayner and keir starmer on the national

executive committee, i mean, in what world wouldn't they know about the decision being made by the nec? we've got to remember that they are part of that body, aren't they? >> they attend the meeting yet andifs >> they attend the meeting yet and it's a much bigger group. i can't remember. it's about 15 or 20 officials from from both houses of parliament. the trade unions and so on and so on. but lots of the cases around individual mps are resolved in subcommittees of 2 or 3. so it's not a group of 20 people in the room with the leader. >> oh, listen, peter edwards, thank you very much. very good to talk to you. right. well, still to come, more reaction to the breaking news overnight about the former us president donald trump. this is britain's news from on gb news. don't forget to get in touch with us gbnews.com forward slash your say. we want to hear your thoughts your comments on everything. >> lots of you exercised about that donald trump decision. many of you saying that it's only going to galvanise his maga base, make america great again, others saying that it's a potential death knell for his white house bid, who knows? he seems to be teflon, doesn't he? donald trump? >> he does not stick. it's all

in his hair. listen, stay with us. this is a gp news, loads more still to come . more still to come. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> morning. it's time for your latest gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. plenty of fine weather to come as we go through today and into the weekend. however, there is a system bringing some cloud and outbreaks of rain which could turn heavy across parts of eastern england today. elsewhere, we are largely under the influence of high pressure to the west of us, which means it is going to be largely dry, bright if not sunny. plenty of sunshine, particularly across parts of scotland, northern ireland and western england and wales. as we go through today. like i said, though, cloudier across eastern england and here there will be outbreaks of rain and some of the showers into the afternoon could turn heavy,

possibly thundery. some blustery winds in the east, elsewhere a bit of a breeze, but where you catch any sunshine it shouldn't feel too bad. temperatures rising into the high teens or low 20s markedly fresher than this towards the southeast , and this towards the southeast, and feeling so because of the cloud and the blustery winds . as we go and the blustery winds. as we go overnight, we will see most of the rain clearing in the southeast, but some further spots are possible during the early hours of tomorrow morning and staying quite cloudy in the east too. elsewhere some clear skies, allowing temperatures to take a bit of a dip. rural spots in particular likely to drop into single figures, so like we've seen through some recent starts, a bit of a fresher feel. first thing tomorrow morning. otherwise, as we go through tomorrow and in the east, still quite cloudy across parts of east anglia and some outbreaks of drizzly rain, though this doesn't look as heavy as the rain that we're going to see today. but elsewhere it is going today. but elsewhere it is going to be bright and sunny. plenty of sunshine, not necessarily wall to wall blue skies throughout the whole day, but a mostly fine picture. just 1 or 2 showers to watch out for with a bit more sunshine around and slightly lighter winds as well, it's probably going to feel the

touch warmer than today for most of us into sunday, and we're likely by then to start to see a weather system pushing its way in from the northwest . and in from the northwest. and that's going to bring increasing amounts of cloud across parts of scotland, northern ireland and into northern england. and some outbreaks of rain here. to further south, though, a largely sunny picture markedly sunny then through today and tomorrow across the southeast and feeling much warmer as well. >> by by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on

newsroom. donald trump was found guilty last night of falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal in a historic turnaround from commander in chief to convicted criminal. no former or serving us president has ever been convicted of a crime before. trump, who pleaded not guilty and denied all 34 counts against him, rejected the verdict and said the people would ultimately decide in november's election. recent polls suggest a tight race against president biden, though around 13% of trump's supporters have said they wouldn't for vote him if he were found guilty. us voters now face the question of re—electing an unpopular president or a convicted criminal. speaking outside court, trump dismissed the verdict as a disgrace. >> this was a rigged , >> this was a rigged, disgraceful trial that the real verdict is going to be november 5th by the people and they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened here. you have a soros backed depher a and

a whole thing. we didn't do a thing wrong. i'm a very innocent man and it's okay. i'm fighting for our country. i'm fighting for our country. i'm fighting for our country. i'm fighting for our constitution. >> trump still faces three other criminal charges, including two related to his alleged efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat. the outcome could have further implications for his support, particularly in swing states . states. >> i don't know what to say. i did not think that this was actually going to happen, and i'm just i can't believe it. it's about time he was held accountable for something i can't believe it. >> and it's amazing. >> and it's amazing. >> i feel very sad for america because he this is the man who is fighting for america. >> i mean, he came out. i mean, guilty as charged . the crime. guilty as charged. the crime. you gotta do the time . you gotta do the time. >> trump's insurgent campaign has divided us politics and now poses the once unthinkable possibility of a convicted

criminal occupying the white house. gb news us correspondent stephen edington says many people still believe, though his trial was politically motivated . trial was politically motivated. >> i think the point that the republicans and trump are making is that these were democrat prosecutors and democrat sort of politicians who are pursuing this prosecution, and the case seems very weak , you know, if seems very weak, you know, if any other man was charged with the similar crime, i don't think this would have ever come to a court of law if his name wasn't donald trump. certainly. alvin bragg, who is the district attorney in new york, the democrat prosecuting there, you know, he was campaigning openly, saying he would convict or try and convict donald trump in his election campaign. so i think many see this as a political prosecution . prosecution. >> to other news now, sir keir starmer will shortly be outlining his plans to clean up britain's energy sector with a new publicly owned company that will cut the cost of bills.

joined by scottish labour leader , scottish labour leader anas sarwar. sir keir starmer will unveil gb energy, which will be based in scotland with investments in wind and solar projects. labour says it will cut costs and relieve some of the uk's reliance on fossil fuels. but the prime minister dismissed it as a vanity project. >> my view is that we have to prioritise this country's energy security. that's why we'll continue to support britain's nonh continue to support britain's north sea energy industry. that's not something that the labour party supports. they will ban further energy exploration. there even though independent experts all say that we do need that energy for decades to come. and on top of that, i'll make sure that we get to net zero in a more proportionate way. that does not load up ordinary families with thousands of pounds worth of costs . so yes, pounds worth of costs. so yes, we will get to net zero, but i will do it in a way that prioritises our country's energy security and household bills . security and household bills. all we've seen from the labour party today is a logo, and as experts have described, their views and their ideas as i think incoherent , views and their ideas as i think incoherent, incredible and completely unachievable .

completely unachievable. >> meanwhile, mark logan has become the third tory figure to defect to labour in just over a month. he was elected as a conservative mp in 2019, but he now says a labour government will be better for his constituents and their pockets. it comes after the conservatives lost two others to labour in recent weeks, with both dan poulter and natalie elphicke crossing the floor. more than 600 homes in surrey have been told not to drink their tap water after tests by thames water. the company says there's a possible deterioration in the quality of drinking water in some areas . hundreds of some areas. hundreds of households in the village of bramley have been given precautions . instructions not to precautions. instructions not to use their water supply for drinking , use their water supply for drinking, cooking or brushing their teeth. it comes after tests were carried out following a historical fuel leak from a petrol station, which has prompted complaints for locals since 2021. chancellor jeremy hunt, who represents the constituency, says bottled water

perhaps on that one, i don't think he can actually. i'll find out there. >> i think he can do that. >> i think he can do that. >> no, i don't think he can. he can pardon himself. no, no i don't think he can on these cases on this particular. let's do some googling and find out. no, i don't think he can though. i don't think he can. >> and valerie good morning. you say both trials do have. sorry. have left the door wide open for appeals and applications for mistrials and spike. good morning. you say so we have the royal navy protecting ships in the middle east, but we cannot protect our borders on the engush protect our borders on the english channel. >> interesting. isn't there lots of those messages coming in as well as some of them i can't read? why not? yes, but wendy's saying that that sword we're going to reply to a comment and it's disappeared. those pesky gremlins again. we'll have to look into that to see if that's actually happening, because it was all right when i went through it. and let's see one from eileen then. yes, eileen says the democrats may be wetting their knickers over the trump verdict, but this has set a dangerous precedent. what goes around comes around, especially if trump wins the election. yeah, that would be interesting. isn't it? all they do with

prince harry as well because he's going to look into his visa? i don't think that's going to be successful, and ricky, good morning. you say why is nigel farage so involved in us elections? we're in a mess here. i'm really fond of farage, but his allegiance to trump is mind blowing . well, his argument is blowing. well, his argument is that he reckons he'll have more influence on britain as part of potentially a us administration. maybe being donald trump's ambassador, ambassador, advisor or also also the other night he did say that he, you know, regretted that he didn't. >> he's not going to be taking part in the elections in this country, certainly, because the timing, you know , it would have timing, you know, it would have taken him. he was looking forward to having six months to formulate everything. but of course, rishi sunak, sort of , course, rishi sunak, sort of, you know, called the election quite early, so anyway, yeah, torpedo headed six months to six weeks. >> so there we go, so speaking of trump, he's vowed to, quote, keep fighting after he was found guilty of all counts in his new york hush money trial yesterday. >> he now faces possible jail time over his convictions for the covering up payments to an aduu the covering up payments to an adult film star. stormy daniels,

to buy her silence over an alleged affair. we're joined by us political commentator laurie laird , laurie, talk, talk me laird, laurie, talk, talk me through how this has been received by the american people and what they feel about this . and what they feel about this. >> you know, it's certainly it really was a bit of a surprise, even though it shouldn't have been a surprise. right. we had this was a jury that was picked, from manhattan . there are about from manhattan. there are about 12 people who voted for donald trump in manhattan. so the guilty verdict isn't hugely surprising , but it still is surprising, but it still is shocking in a certain way to see a former and potential, future president being held guilty of 34 counts. really is rather remarkable. i have to say. i was quite surprised , when i saw it quite surprised, when i saw it come through. let's see what happens. i do think we may still be in an area where journalists, people in washington , people in people in washington, people in new york are concerned about

this. i'm not sure. once you get out of these urban centres how concerned people will be about this . this. >> can i just ask, somebody who sent a message when he gets if he becomes the president, can he pardon himself ? no, i didn't pardon himself? no, i didn't think he could on these particular charges. but can he? >> no. this one he cannot because these are state charges. so he can pardon himself on any sort of federal charges. and of course, we have a number of other cases that are pending, those probably won't go to court before the for the election. this one, he cannot pardon himself, however , there is an himself, however, there is an appeal process. i would be. well, there is a maximum, the maximum sentence is jail time. maximum sentence isjail time. i would be really very surprised whether he was given jail time. and i think that would look very political if he were. >> and, laurie, how will this, affect his maga base , his affect his maga base, his supporters? because in the wake of the decision yesterday , the of the decision yesterday, the announcement that he'd been found guilty on all 34 charges,

the donation site to his campaign, donald trump's presidential campaign, it crashed under overwhelming traffic . nick, is that a crashed under overwhelming traffic. nick, is that a sign that his fans and his supporters don't care? and in actual fact, they'll use this as ammunition to keep ploughing on with their attempt to get him back into the white house >> look, i think for donald trump's supporters, this will be seen. this will be evidence that somehow the judicial system is figged somehow the judicial system is rigged against their man. donald trump has spun it that way. and i think that that has fallen to a certain extent on fertile ground. i think this is the big whether there was a guilty or not guilty verdict . i think this not guilty verdict. i think this is the big, the last thing this is the big, the last thing this is donald trump's legacy to a certain extent. i think that there will be a large section of there will be a large section of the population that does not believe the judicial system works. i think that there there is a significant minority of americans who believe that donald trump was the rightful president in 2020. the election was, in fact, stolen. and this

that cohort will can very easily believe the judicial that this was a political trial . this was was a political trial. this was figged was a political trial. this was rigged against donald trump. and donald trump has played on that. he has said that that joe biden is orchestrating all of this. let's go back to what i said about this being a state issue. joe biden couldn't have done anything about this again, because it's not a federal issue . but there are lots of trump supporters that think that that is, in fact true, and that the judicial system has been rigged against their man. and i think there will be lasting damage to there will be lasting damage to the confidence that americans have in that institution in. >> oh, well, you mentioned joe biden, joe biden in his laptop. nobody's really mentioning much about that. how is he got away with that? and i mean, even before that, there was hillary clinton as well, how was nobody investigating joe biden's laptop? because i'm confused as to how what he did. >> is this the hunter biden laptop ? laptop? >> yeah. sorry. hunter biden's laptop. the laptop. yes. sorry. apologies. well well, i mean, i

think these things are slightly different because this was a laptop that was that was owned by joe biden's son, so not the president of the united states. investigate. he has pleaded. hunter biden has pleaded guilty to a number of transgressions that were involved with the laptop , that were linked to the laptop, that were linked to the laptop, that were linked to the laptop, also to possessing firearms , to various other firearms, to various other things. that sentencing has not happened yet . and again, i think happened yet. and again, i think americans will will have doubt about the political process. but hunter biden did plead guilty, but he has not yet been sentenced. >> but the point with that, laurie, is his garage, though, wasn't it the point with hunter biden's laptop is that for a long, long time? i mean , there long, long time? i mean, there was 50 ex—intelligence officers from the united states, fbi, cia agents who all said that it was russian disinformation. you had the mainstream media in the us refusing to report on it. you had twitter at the time on that twitter at the time banned people for even sharing the new york post link. i mean, that was just absurd. and the argument is, on the flip side, i yeah, go

on. >> i know i agree with you on that. i mean, i agree, you know, certainly the president's son and donald trump, these are slightly different things. but i agree with you. i think the media did go very, very softly on all of the details about that laptop. and certainly there was a reason to have , some a reason to have, some investigations, no doubt. hunter biden did some very, very foolish things, but i don't think that there's evidence yet that that that was linked to his father . father. >> all right, laurie, thank you very much. thank you so much. yeah it wasn't the laptop found in joe biden's garage or something, which is why there was a connection. >> it was. it was handed into a computer repair centre, i think, in washington. and the repair guy delved into it and found all sorts of stuff , including text sorts of stuff, including text messages, talking about 10% to the big guy, which is routinely thought to be about joe biden. it was to do with hunter biden and his son, his business deals with ukrainian companies, chinese companies. but the point is, as i was making to laurie at the time , people were banned off

the time, people were banned off twitter for even sharing the new york post story revealing the laptop story. 50 ex—intelligence officers signed a letter and sent it to the intelligence committee in the senate, saying that it was russian disinformation. it wasn't. it was a real story. and the efforts they made to bury it were concerning, to say the least. >> yeah, it does. >> yeah, it does. >> you know it. i suspect trump is riding on that ticket in particular, but stay with us. it's just coming up to 17 minutes after 10:00. good morning, still to come, thousands of nhs patients will get personalised cancer vaccines over the next year. it's been called a landmark moment for cancer care. fascinating. we'll be discussing that next. this is britain's newsroom on

gb news. good morning. it's just gone. 20 minutes after 10:00. this is britain's newsroom with me. nana

akua and also ben leo. we're joined now by journalist and broadcaster dawn neesom and also former labour mp denis macshane in the studio. >> good morning to you both. good morning. good morning . good morning. good morning. >> all right. >> all right. >> should we start with the labour party. they're launching gb energy . who wants to go first gb energy. who wants to go first with this dennis. >> yes, it's a very important development. i was very struck i after the electricity crisis, you know when with all our bills went up, they've not come down looking at the rest of europe, different countries doing it in different countries doing it in different ways. but all the time the energy companies were so organised they protected consumers. the government would step in to protect consumers. we did nothing but energy prices never go down. >> when have they gone down, dennis? >> well, they literally like properly, you know, so often the barrels are going down but yet the prices continue to rise just like petrol and no, no , i mean like petrol and no, no, i mean i used to keep an eye on petrol pumps, but i drove a lot. i don't drive now. my partner certainly does it. she said, oh look at that price. but the trajectory is always no, no

it's, it's, it's come down as well. so general terms we are all enough. we're quite good in scotland. we've got an awful lot of onshore wind farms and the community owned as well as being privately owned. when you say community owned, you still have to bring in all the private companies to make it work in britain, the tories just handed over to local councils. doesn't matter whether they're liberal, conservative or labour. nimby rules to block all wind farm, installations. you drive across france, germany anywhere, greece anywhere and the places are covered by wind farms and solar panels. they are ghastly to look at, though, aren't they? >> i've got i've got the rampion wind farm off the coast of sussex where i live. they've ruined the view out to the engush ruined the view out to the english channel. >> well, they used to say that about electricity pylons. i mean, they certainly said that about electricity. said, that said that about motorways. and in the 19th century, i mean, nobody wanted a railway anywhere near their land. >> so pylons are ghastly . >> so pylons are ghastly. >> so pylons are ghastly. >> they're all any industrial

installation, any airport , any installation, any airport, any way to get from a to b or deliver goods. yes we'll have a visual offset. i mean, i certainly believe we should all get out handcarts and deliver our food from aldi . our food from aldi. >> and so how are they going to do this? do you see what they're doing? >> is that the british british caphal >> is that the british british capital, if i can use that pompous, slightly sort of dynamic word, is never been geared up to providing public services. they've always gone for easy, quick profit loads are owned partly by overseas hedge. are they going to do well. they're going to put it going to put put i'll get to the point quickly. they're going to put it under some communal control. quickly. they're going to put it under some communal control . so under some communal control. so they'll have a responsibility to you and me and the public to deliver on behalf of. >> okay dawn, let's bring you in. >> that's the problem with this one. dennis is right. it's publicly owned company receive 8.3 billion of funding from us, the taxpayers. hello. good luck with that one out there. but it's also going to depend on private investment. the private investment from hedge funds, which are the sort of people

that are investing in the water companies we have already that are taking huge amounts of money out of them to, to support our pension funds, mostly. so it's i this is a lot of, a lot of hot air that doesn't actually say anything. and is this part of the £28 billion that labour promised to invest, invest in green pledges that they're flip flopped on? no one's explaining how they're actually going to fund it. they say, oh no, it's all fully costed. we know how we're paying for it, but i don't understand how it's going to work. >> so it's a mix of private investment as well as public funds. >> well , because they can't do >> well, because they can't do it on their own. they can't do it on their own. they can't do it just with our money. nana and it's our money by the way. it's not the government, it's not pubuc not the government, it's not public money. it's our money. >> so hang on a second. it's being funded quite clearly by a levy on the private companies. so yes , they will have to, which so yes, they will have to, which will bring in 6.5 million. >> this is costing 8.3 million. even with diane abbott's maths dodgy, one right wing accountancy firm has made that point, which the daily telegraph, daily telegraph quotes bless the daily telegraph hold off. >> they're a right wing accountancy firm. they're

accountants. >> they're not accountants . they >> they're not accountants. they are consultants who are there serving the interests of the conservative party. now, if you like, give me two weeks. i'll come back and i'll find another consultancy firm that will say, oh , no, this is all perfectly oh, no, this is all perfectly good funding, because, i mean, the truth is, you're quite right, dawn. it may not work very well . it may not work. very well. it may not work. i don't know, but i do know the present system is delivering incredibly high prices for families. i know in the richest part of the country, in sw1 where i live, who can't put on any heating , suffering from any heating, suffering from mould, which good heating will drive away. that is because the conservatives have refused to take any responsibility for energy prices. >> well, i mean, i don't think you can blame the conservatives fully for energy prices. all right. well, there's another story here. dawn about fly—tipping. >> oh, yes. >> oh, yes. >> yeah, i love this story. this is another good one, isn't it? this is our. yes. where is it,

yeah, but this is in the paper today. well, it's a tory announcement. this one, persistent flytippers will lose their driving licence and even face prison time under tougher new plans. put forward by the conservatives. this would be the conservatives. this would be the conservatives have been for 14 years. as i'm absolutely not a lot about this problem. i mean, you know, gnaana like everything that's at the moment. i'll believe it when i see it. i mean, coming next week, we're going to tackle potholes. you've done nothing for 14 years. why are you suddenly coming up with it now? in theory, it's great. yeah. take the driving licences away of people who are fine. fly tipping. fantastic. yeah. everyone's going to vote for that. but why now? we all know why now. we're not stupid then it's why now . it's why now. >> because there's an election on.and >> because there's an election on. and frankly, i find rishi constantly pulling these little gimmicks. don't talk about national service out of his bag. i agree with dawn. who wouldn't like to see flytippers punished? but the council cleaning services enforcement services will be cut to shreds by tory cuts since 20 and liberal

democrat cuts since 2010. don't let them off the hook, please . let them off the hook, please. and as a result, there is zero enforcement. no one has got any fear at all of going out with a big white van full of all sorts of industrial rubbish, or even , of industrial rubbish, or even, you know, your old sofas and dumping them somewhere at 3:00. >> we can't even nick rapists and burglars at the moment. so fly tippers, i mean. yeah, come on. right all right. it'll happen. all right. >> so i want to come to this story, dennis, about, thousands of nhs patients will get personalised cancer vaccines. i mean, this is fascinating. >> it's fascinating . it's very >> it's fascinating. it's very important. it's using the new mrn developed vaccine that, was developed on the continent, and then we started using it. it's different from the astrazeneca one, which has now been dropped. but it doesn't matter . it's just but it doesn't matter. it's just because we've got the power of that nhs, which does cost a lot of money, 120, £130 billion a year to develop it, to roll it out over 30 centres. you know, i mean, many , many scare last

mean, many, many scare last yean mean, many, many scare last year, luckily no problem at all. but, you know, when you get to any age, you're always a bit worried. you look at poor king charles, poor princess kate. this will be so warmly welcomed. it's great that britain's doing it. britain's one of the leading countries and god bless the nhs, sir. >> fascinating technology, isn't it? >> it's brilliant . it's been >> it's brilliant. it's been tried on one patient at the moment, 55 year old lecturer who was suffering from bowel cancer. you know, one of the one of the most common cancers in this country and getting increasingly common. and 30 hospitals have actually signed up to the launch pad and it is still on trial. but nana, you know, any any news about helping, you know, fight cancer? it's got to be good news. i mean, i think the only problem i think a lot of people will have with this is it's unked will have with this is it's linked to the covid vaccine , and linked to the covid vaccine, and a lot of people are still very dubious. it's not the covid vaccine, by the way. it's not. but it's linked to that. it's using the same technology. and as we know, a lot of people are still very wary about what happened with that back in the day. >> well, you know, with this

technology, maybe that's the one good thing that came out of that, that all the countries got together, came up with their version . and we've come up with version. and we've come up with this technology that can actually be applied to other things like cancer, which i probably say was a good use for it . it. >> and the thing is we don't. yeah. she's talked to you about keep awake. >> i'll just. >> i'll just. >> yeah, i'll behave myself. it's you know, if you want to take mrna vaccines up to you . take mrna vaccines up to you. >> oh, but this is different. it's based on a similar technology . it is different. and technology. it is different. and i just think the again, nana the devil here in the detail. we don't know how much it's going to cost. >> well, look, it's got to be cheaper than treating millions of people with stage four cancer. >> cancen >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you can get rid of that. and not just the cost, but the people, not just the financial costs, but to lives. >> i had my i had my fifth covid jab. oh my god. >> blimey . >> blimey. >> blimey. >> the other four not work. >> the other four not work. >> no they did. i >> the other four not work. >> no they did . i never got covid. >> i never got covid and i'm unvaccinated. well i never wore a mask, i never i travelled the

world during covid. i was in packed nightclubs. i never got vaccinated, i never got covid. >> yeah, but some people did and some people died from it. that's the point. >> well, you're you're you're lucky very. you're a young superman. i'm an old geezer. so i just think, you know, queen victoria, everybody said smallpox. we're going to we're going to inject you with something that's developed from a cow and queen victoria rolled up her sleeves, had it, and the world changed. and i actually think we should just grow up about science personally. but no, no offence. >> you should grow up, ben. no offence. >> grow up. well, tell that to all the people who've been vaccine injured and killed from covid vaccines. >> yeah, but. but then you've got to talk about the people who also survived as well. look, it was a risk we all always. >> but i don't think i think if you get injured from a vaccine, i think the government should be compensating you here. >> i think probably the problem was people who arguably didn't need the vaccine. >> young people of my age, very fit and healthy, people who statistically , by the statistically, by the government's own data, weren't going to be affected by covid, were bounced into getting

vaccines they didn't need. so talking about you still have personal choice, though there they didn't have personal choice because people were calling you for the unvaccinated to be barred from events, from pubs, from travelling the world, losing their jobs. in the case of the nhs. so people nana didn't have a choice. >> let's be honest, talking to balancing, can we talk about inflatable penises ? inflatable penises? >> sorry. yes. >> sorry. yes. >> go on. yes. thank you. you've just come back from holiday. you know about this sort of thing. >> what are you talking about? >> what are you talking about? >> well , come >> what are you talking about? >> well, come on, this is a wonderful story. >> i spotted it, but dawn, i said dawn, it's about inflatable piers. >> it is one for you to steal it. >> but dennis got in such a popular xoar on spain's costa brava has banned inflatable penis costumes and textiles from stag and hen celebrations, with fines up to ,1,500. >> this is because so many brits flood there in the summer for hen and stag do, and used some of the more interesting, what's the word? i'm looking for inflatable accessories . inflatable accessories. accessories, to celebrate that a new bylaw has been introduced to stop us having fun with an inflatable penis . inflatable penis. >> well, they seem to not want

brits to have any fun down in in spain, the canaries, the balearics. because i read a story yesterday about majorca , story yesterday about majorca, the authorities there being concerned and worried that the tourism tourist goes way down. >> so what's so fun about an inflatable penis? >> well, it's just a bit of a laugh. i mean, i don't think it's very funny, but if you if you if you've got a drunk hen or stag do. >> i mean, i'm sure they i think it's lovely. >> it's inflatable penises. >> it's inflatable penises. >> well, where do you stand on them? >> i'm past, i past the age where i discuss that kind of thing. i just love the idea. all the little english willies arriving on the costa del sol and bingo! they go out late at night, drink, and suddenly they're the biggest men in town. when are the women will enjoy it? at the end of the evening? i'm not sure, but might be seeing you down the ibiza strip this summer then. >> dennis, have any one's just having got hidden depths this morning, right? well, having got hidden depths this morning, right ? well, listen, morning, right? well, listen, dennis. dawn, stay with us. joining us now is greg svensson. he's a chair of republicans overseas to talk about donald trump. greg, welcome . really trump. greg, welcome. really good to talk to you. well to see you.so good to talk to you. well to see you. so donald trump he's going to appeal obviously . what are

to appeal obviously. what are his chances in an appeal. i think they're very good. >> there are so many holes in this case i can't imagine that it wouldn't be overturned on appeal. gnaana >> oh, he's still there. greg. who have you gone? >> yeah. oh, you are you are . >> yeah. oh, you are you are. you're right. >> yeah. tell us about what happened with his, his fundraising in the hours after that, decision. apparently the website crashed. >> yeah. it's amazing. we don't have the numbers yet because of the website crash, but this this is not a surprise . and, you is not a surprise. and, you know, you recall last last summer after the mug shot went out, he raised 7 million overnight. i imagine he'll raise a lot more from this. and i think, you know , even people think, you know, even people that were undecided or independent are seeing this as a real weaponization of the justice system , there's so many justice system, there's so many holes in this case, i think it'll be overturned on appeal. but in the meantime, you know, you could have a, you know, you have the sentencing amazingly set for four days before the republican national convention. i don't think that was a

mistake. so, yeah, there's a lot of fundraising going on and a lot of chatter about, you know, how this might even help president trump, it is interesting, though, because it doesn't really put the american judicial system in a very good light, because it kind of it does look like it's been weaponized. so the party is weaponizing the justice system is that the general take that the public are seeing? and would that be the reason why so many people are moving over to trump? >> yeah, i think so. nana. and look, the democrats probably love this. you know, they'll they'll campaign on it. they'll say he's a convicted felon. you can't vote for him. so, you know, there is there is definitely a partisan angle to this . but generally speaking, this. but generally speaking, it's really working to the president's , for the president president's, for the president at this point. and people see through this, this trial and, and even the indictment going back to, you know, march of 23, that this is really a politicised case. and you saw

that in with, with, the judge, one more shot you saw how he instructed the jury. it was basically impossible to, to be acquitted with a judge that's that hostile. i don't blame the jury that hostile. i don't blame the jury because the jury was instructed by this judge . and of instructed by this judge. and of course, you had alvin bragg. soros backed d.a. who's famous for reducing felonies to misdemeanours in new york for violent felons and yet elevated this particular misdemeanour to a felony because it's donald trump. >> greg, just explain for the viewers over here in the uk who don't know the sort of pedantics of the us justice system, the prosecutor in this case, alvin bragg, you mentioned him, the district attorney, they are politicised, aren't they? he's a democrat, just explain how that works. also, judges are elected on political tickets as well, right? >> yeah. so both the prosecutor and the judge are are democrats, alvin bragg, the prosecutor , alvin bragg, the prosecutor, campaigned with soros money, by the way , he campaigned as his

the way, he campaigned as his his chief campaign slogan was, i'm going to get trump. so you saw a real politicisation of this process even before the indictment, even when, you know, alvin bragg was running for office. now, he tried he considered the case. and then decided not to proceed, similar to other jurisdictions as well as federal agencies like the federal election commission looked at this and said, there's no there's no violation of election law here. and yet, with pressure from the white house, with pressure from the democrats, alvin bragg changed his mind and proceeded with the indictment. one marshawn is really conflicted. he's the judge in this case. he was the he's an elected democrat. it's a very democratic town. so that shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. but but i think he's really tied into the party. he's you know, he's made campaign donations to democrats, just to state his case, just to be on the page, not significant contributions, but just enough to be noticed. and then, of

course, his daughter is a progressive activist on the left and raises, raises money for democratic candidates. so this , democratic candidates. so this, you know, between the soros money and the and the real conflicted nature of the judge, this was a case that was almost impossible to beat. >> and greg, just briefly , what >> and greg, just briefly, what do you make of megyn kelly's comments overnight where she said that because of the way, the political justice system. so the political justice system. so the way that the justice system in america has been politicised like this and weaponized to pursue what she says are, you know, political agendas, trump if and when he'll make the white house, we'll just do the same. now. the floodgates have been unleashed. >> the you're exactly right. you know, the rubicon has been crossed. and i think that there will be some retribution from the from the republicans. i'm not sure i advocate that. i don't really like to say that or i don't want to see that, but it might be the only thing that helps fix this, this flawed justice system that we have . so, justice system that we have. so, megyn kelly's right, and she's a great example of someone who's

not a fan of trump, and now she's going to vote for him. and so regardless of your opinion on president trump, you know, i supported ron desantis in the primaries. but, you know, look , primaries. but, you know, look, i think it's really encouraged people to get involved, to go out and vote. you know, not everyone's going to vote for president trump. if you don't like them, don't vote for him. but many of us have been really you know, worried about this, this weaponization of the justice system . and it really justice system. and it really has to be changed. >> greg jensen, thank you very much. really good to talk to you. >> thanks, greg. thank you both. >> thanks, greg. thank you both. >> all right. well, still with us, journalist and broadcaster don nessen. and also former labour mp denis macshane. dawn neesom . your thoughts on all of neesom. your thoughts on all of this trump business? >> it's fascinating, isn't it? >> it's fascinating, isn't it? >> it's fascinating, isn't it? >> i mean, i love american politics at the moment because i actually make ours look sane. and that's a blessed relief, to be honest with you, it's it was a foregone conclusion, i think, that trump would be found guilty. the fact that it was actually such a unanimous verdict was interesting. but the thing is , will it affect him? thing is, will it affect him? i mean, some 36% of independent,

undecided voters in march said that a guilty verdict would make them less likely to support trump . trump. >> we're just going to we're going to cross live to sir keir starmer in glasgow now talking about gb energy . lorna can about gb energy. lorna can i say, can i say thank you that was fantastic. >> what a story. what you've done. that's a story that should be told right across scotland , be told right across scotland, inspiring so many young people and not only the story, but for you to walk from there up onto this stage and deliver it in front of all these people and the cameras . the cameras. that is what inspiration is all about. and i can tell you with our plans for infrastructure, we've got a lot of work coming your way, as a welder. and thank you, anas and all the other speakers. anas, thank you for your friendship

and your leadership here in scotland, along with jackie and with ian, because together we have transformed and changed the labour party and put it back in the service of working people. so thank you, anas. and it's great to be back here in scotland. it's sunny and i seem to be here every other week . and to be here every other week. and that's not just because of the tandoori salmon in mr singh's in glasgow, which is getting quite a reputation . but it is a reputation. but it is fantastic to be here and to be with all of you to launch these first steps, because look , the first steps, because look, the wait is over. the prime minister has called a general election. we've waited a long time for this. scotland has waited a long time for this. a chance for an election, a chance to change. so if you're a family that have been struggling with the cost of

living day after day , week after living day after day, week after week, month after month, if you're a business that's been struggling now for a number of years against the odds , if years against the odds, if you're in service to your country or your community, then this election is for you. because by the power of our democracy, the beauty, if you like, of our democracy, the power shifts to you. your chance , your vote, your chance to vote for change and for yourself, your future, your community and for scotland . and i say to this, for scotland. and i say to this, make sure you use your vote. your voice not to send a message . the snp say they want you to to vote send a message and send a message to go and sit on the opposition benches protesting . i opposition benches protesting. i don't want you to vote to send a message . i want you to vote to

message. i want you to vote to send a government . send a government. a labour government with scotland at its heart. so this is the chance for change to end the chaos and division to turn the chaos and division to turn the page and to rebuild scotland and rebuild britain . because we and rebuild britain. because we have to stop the chaos in westminster. we've had 14 years now, 14 years of chaos and division in scotland, 17 years of spinning around in circles, going round and round in circles, getting nowhere in westminster. five prime ministers in a row here in scotland, three first ministers in three years. that's failure. that's not delivering . that is

that's not delivering. that is not good for scotland . and not good for scotland. and there's a cost. there's a human cost . there's always a there's a cost. there's a human cost. there's always a human cost. there's always a human cost of chaos and division and spinning around, getting nowhere . and anas and i went to a community centre, not that far from here, and we were at an event. we finished the event and then i was doing a short piece to camera using an autocue. so i went to the edge of the centre to set it up and did my piece to camera . there was a 70. there camera. there was a 70. there was a seven year old girl there. she'd been with us during the event. she was very, very sparkly, huge personality , quite sparkly, huge personality, quite incredible. and as i was doing my piece to camera, i saw her come over and watch what i was doing. really intrigued. what is this ? this camera rolling? some this? this camera rolling? some words . and so when i finished, words. and so when i finished, i said to her, well, do you want

to have a go? do you want to see what it's like? and the words she said to me was, stick with me forever . she said, i don't me forever. she said, i don't read me . i don't read me me forever. she said, i don't read me. i don't read me. i carried those words all the way home with me . that went right home with me. that went right through me, because that is the cost that she is paying for. the failure here in scotland under the snp. and they're not going to change. the tories won't change in westminster, the snp won't change here. it'll be more chaos, more division, more sleaze, more scandal, and they'll feel more enlightened, entitled if they get more at this election. so we have to stop the chaos . we have to draw stop the chaos. we have to draw a line . but here's the good news a line. but here's the good news you don't have to put up with it any more. you can choose .

change. but don't take anything for granted . if you want change, you granted. if you want change, you have to choose change and vote for change. and make sure that we boot the tories out and end the chaos . because change is we boot the tories out and end the chaos. because change is on the chaos. because change is on the ballot. on the 4th of july. make no mistake, there are two futures, two paths that we could take down one path. the future is more chaos, more division, more of the same down the other path. hope and unity. a chance to take scotland forward , to to take scotland forward, to take britain forward now. alison, i, jackie, ian, angela, ed.the alison, i, jackie, ian, angela, ed. the whole party has changed. the labour party service of working people and what we ask now at this election , humbly, is

now at this election, humbly, is the opportunity to change scotland and to change britain and put them back in the service of working people . of working people. now i know that in the past, some people here in scotland who wanted the tories out didn't vote. labour because they didn't think that we could win . but think that we could win. but we've changed labour. we now have that opportunity and you have that opportunity and you have to for vote it because there's no change without scotland , there's no labour scotland, there's no labour without scotland and i believe that the solidarity of working people is not just our identity. it is our argument. the single greatest force , probably the greatest force, probably the only force that can bring our

four nations together. and that's why scotland is at the heart of our mission . heart of our mission. anas and i have worked side by side to deliver across scotland. we've got huge ambition for scotland, but like all ambition , scotland, but like all ambition, it has to start with first steps. first steps that we've set out this morning . as you'd set out this morning. as you'd expect, ruthlessly well prepared, fully costed, fully funded and ready to go step one economic stability. the foundation of growth. the only way to keep taxes , inflation and way to keep taxes, inflation and mortgages low because if we learned one thing, it's that if you lose control of the economy, it's working. people who pay the

price . liz truss lost control of price. liz truss lost control of the economy . and in scotland, the economy. and in scotland, everybody with a mortgage is paying everybody with a mortgage is paying the price month by month by month. the average increase £120 in scotland per month . £120 in scotland per month. people desperately worried about whether they can afford it, what they can't do as a result, even thinking of having to sell their house and downsize . how do you house and downsize. how do you think they feel when rishi sunak says we've turned a corner? everything's fine? how do you think they feel when they see those that advise liz truss in the house of lords swanning around because rishi sunak was too weak to block them? they are paying too weak to block them? they are paying the price and we visited a food bank. anas sarwar not so long ago and this was in glasgow . a real shock. people going to pick up their food because they couldn't afford for themselves

to put food on their own table. shocking. in its own right. shocking, particularly when we saw people coming from work having finished work to pick up a food parcel that is the price that they are paying. there's always a cost to chaos and division, and that's why stability is our first step. step two to help cut nhs waiting times in scotland. now it is impossible to overstate how many people are on waiting lists and the impact it has on them . it's the impact it has on them. it's now 1 in 6 in scotland . the impact it has on them. it's now1 in 6 in scotland . i the impact it has on them. it's now 1 in 6 in scotland . i was now 1 in 6 in scotland. i was here last year saying it was 1 in 7. it's now 1 in 6. that means almost everybody watching or listening. this is probably either on a waiting list themselves, or know someone who is . that's shocking. it's is. that's shocking. it's absolutely shocking . and what we absolutely shocking. and what we can achieve together is 160,000

extra appointments every year here in scotland. what a difference that that would make. and we would pay for it by cracking down on tax avoidance and getting rid of the non—dom tax status . step three make work tax status. step three make work pay tax status. step three make work pay with the new deal for working people. as angela says , working people. as angela says, the greatest levelling up of workers rights in a generation . workers rights in a generation. and what does that mean? zero hours contracts, band fire and rehire ended and a genuine living wage because i believe that everybody is entitled to dignity and respect at work. thatis dignity and respect at work. that is a bare minimum . but i that is a bare minimum. but i also know that dignity and respect at work are essential for economic growth . step three. for economic growth. step three. step four great british energy that publicly owned, company owned by the taxpayer, making money for the taxpayer ,

money for the taxpayer, harnessing clean power. do you remember what the tories said ten years ago? cut the green crap. stop the investment. stop insulating our house made us more exposed to what was going on in the world and as a result, your bills are higher. i want to be clear . we're not turning off be clear. we're not turning off the taps for oil and gas that will be come, but the transition is coming. we can't stick our headin is coming. we can't stick our head in the sand. and as ed said, it's renewable , are said, it's renewable, are cheapen said, it's renewable, are cheaper. there's a massive prize here. lower bills, security, the next generation of jobs . so next generation of jobs. so clean power is the best opportunity we've had in a generation for the next generation for the next generation of jobs . now other generation of jobs. now other countries are in the race. look across europe, look to america and rishi sunak in the changing room . i want to be in the race

room. i want to be in the race and i want to win the race. why not scotland? i went to aberdeen and there's a glimpse of the future there because what i saw and talked through with the energy sector there and the workers there , was the pipelines workers there, was the pipelines they were going to use for carbon capture , the skills they carbon capture, the skills they would use for the next generation of jobs and i asked them, how long would these jobs last for? and they said, decades upon decades upon decades, jobs for the next generation here in scotland and scotland can. and scotland and scotland can. and scotland will lead the clean energy revolution. and that's why great british energy, which will cut those bills , which will will cut those bills, which will give us that security and those jobs will be headquarters right here in scotland . here in scotland. step five maximise scotland's influence on the world stage.

i'll give you an example of that . scotland has the second largest offshore wind capacity in the world, second largest yet three times as many jobs are in denmark. that's shocking . i went denmark. that's shocking. i went to whiteley's wind farm. some people have heard this story, but it really sticks with me . but it really sticks with me. this is just outside of glasgow. there's, i don't know, 200, 300 wind turbines. they're really huge bits of engineering and skill and design. and i went up and they were turning around, generating energy . had two generating energy. had two problems. one, we didn't have a battery big enough to store the energy. so they were turning them off because of a lack of planning. second, i asked a question. i said , how many of question. i said, how many of these incredible pieces of kit, this incredible manufacturing energy, how many of them were built in scotland ? none. not

built in scotland? none. not one. they were towed in from other countries . not a single other countries. not a single one was built here. we have to end that. we can change that floating offshore wind is the next generation. we can get ahead, not only have floating offshore wind, but build it here in scotland with manufacturing jobs, engineering, building on the skills that we have here, promoting scotland business abroad, boost exports and attract investment needed for jobs here. good jobs in scotland . step six jobs and opportunities for young people. training people for the future for the jobs and the work and the lives. they're actually going to live. make sure that young people can get the apprenticeships they need, whether in welding or anything else . support first time buyers else. support first time buyers and work with anna's out and scottish jobs in clean energy. so this election is the chance .

so this election is the chance. it's the chance for change. the chance for renewal, the chance for scotland and britain to go forward. a new generation of scots on labour government benches, works with me for scotland and delivering for scotland and delivering for scotland . and i believe scotland scotland. and i believe scotland can lead the way, lead the change, stop the chaos, turn the page, reboot old now. make sure you take that chance. make sure you take that chance. make sure you vote labour. thank you, thank you. >> that was sir keir starmer in the west of scotland unveiling great british energy . he came great british energy. he came out with six steps again. seems to be the magic number. economic stability help cut waiting lists, times make work, pay great british energy which we were all waiting to hear. maximising scotland's influence on the world stage and jobs and opportunities for young people. well, listening to that with journalist and broadcaster dawn

neesom and former labour mp denis macshane, and they're still with us, i will come to you, dennis, first, because you're a labour man. what did you're a labour man. what did you make of it? >> if it all works, i think it can. it's very, very welcome. why have we not heard any language like that from any of our last three pms? >> what particularly excited you? what language got you going there? >> well, particularly the idea of making energy a priority and bringing people , the companies bringing people, the companies together under an overall overarching national plan. so that's just a private companies own overseas with no responsibility to the british state or british people that was important. certainly the idea of making work pay , because we have making work pay, because we have got a lot of people in work, but they all, a lot of them depend on still on social benefits to make ends meet. and we still have massive food poverty in households that's going to be a very big challenge, i think. and

one that will shock some people because if we have a country based on low pay, we'll never have a country based on a decent life. >> dawn neesom well, i was waiting for the energy announcement. >> i didn't actually hear it. all i heard was he said change several times. he said working people, working families several times, and so many questions. i mean , you know, they want to be mean, you know, they want to be labour wants to be carbon neutral in six years by 20, 35 years before the conservatives. we currently get 30% of our energy from non, you know, non carbon friendly, excuse me oil and coal and gas and things like that. so in six years right 30% more energy has to be produced by the wind farms that keir starmer is going to build all around the coast of the country, by the sounds of it. no idea how he's going to do that or fund that, by the way. and what about the people of scotland who work in the north sea? are oil and gas industry? are they going to suddenly going to be building these wind farms? i just want these wind farms? i just want the detail. nana i'm not hearing any. i'm hearing change. i'm heanng any. i'm hearing change. i'm hearing working families. i'm heanng hearing working families. i'm

hearing all the positive things that dennis mentioned. but i just don't know how any of it's going to be done. >> well, he told the story about the seven year old windfall several times, farm again several times, farm again several times, farm again several times, but i thought he was really patronising with that as well. >> it's a well done little girl. how wonderful. when he was, when he was handing over, he was talking to someone in the audience. well done. that was wonderful. and it's like, oh go away dennis. >> sorry, wasn't it labour and the lib dems back in the day who especially under the lib dem tory coalition who were lack lustre on the building of new nuclear power plants , the lib nuclear power plants, the lib dems in particular, the greens in particular, i live for 15 years in france and france took a historic decision in the 1970s to go pretty much full on nuclear. >> so they cut the dependence on oil and gas that we have lived by in the last 30 or 40 years, i hope, and it will be a question of bottle that sir keir does face down all of our nimbys. i mean, we're the most nimby country in europe. look at america where they frack everywhere here, a tiny bit of

drilling and all the tory councils of lancashire go insane with fury and anger that i don't know why. i mean, we just have got to get back, i think, to putting the national interest first. >> would you support fracking? >> would you support fracking? >> i support fracking, yes . >> i support fracking, yes. >> i support fracking, yes. >> well, we're not going to frack or build wind farms in this back garden in islington, are we? >> it's actually kentish town, similar a very. no, i had a place up there. it's a very small garden actually. >> well, but the point of this nimbyism is, though, that sometimes it's easier for people to say these things when they're nowhere near it. and, you know , nowhere near it. and, you know, it's a keir starmer probably won't have fracking in his backyard . i think it's quite backyard. i think it's quite difficult now , w5, to sort of do difficult now, w5, to sort of do a lot of fracking precisely . a lot of fracking precisely. >> but the point is that we've always we've dug up coal and people probably objected to that. we laid railway roads, people objected to railway tracks, people objected to that. we're going to have to crack this. i mean, the obsession, the

hate of local councils mainly, but also liberal and labour. i'm really not doing a party thing on this against building the homes for our grandchildren is obscene. i've always lived in a house, probably that was built in the 1950s, one way or the other , and then britain built other, and then britain built for its future generations. me as a young man and so on, and then a parent now it's come to a dead stop because of this incredible hate. the nimbys are collective. i don't know whether it's the right thing or not. >> it's not really for the nimbys, is it? it's just that people who live in certain areas, will have this almost infection of wind farms and pylons . a lot of people pylons. a lot of people objecting, i don't blame them. >> i was i was on the train. >> well, listen, sorry to interrupt. well, let's quickly get back to keir starmer in west scotland, where christopher hope is about to ask a question. >> and on your green announcement today, what if the wind stops blowing? will the lights turn off, chris, on the obviously , first and foremost,

obviously, first and foremost, we respect the court's decision in relation to the decision in the trump case, the sentencing still to go and possible appeals. but we, you know, respect the court process , in respect the court process, in the end, it is for the american people to decide who they want to elect as their president. and if we're privileged enough to come into government, we will work with whoever is elected president . that's what you would president. that's what you would expect. we have a special relationship with the us that transcends whoever the president is, but it is an unprecedented situation, there's no doubt about that. and there's a long way yet to go, i think, in relation to what happens next. thank you, chris. and on the question of, wind, look, it's always going to be a, a mix of renewables, for the future, you know, solar , offshore wind, know, solar, offshore wind, wind, nuclear, hydrogen, they're all part of the mix. but the important thing is this oil and

gas is running out. it isn't going to last forever . we can't going to last forever. we can't ignore that, the transition to renewables is where, the sector is. if you go to aberdeen and talk to the sector, they are talking about the investment they need to put in renewables, it's cheaper. it gives us energy security because oil and gas is sold onto the international market. we don't control the price and hence the proof of that if you needed it was when ukraine was invaded , our prices ukraine was invaded, our prices went up. if we had control of our prices, that wouldn't have happened.so our prices, that wouldn't have happened. so lower bills, energy security and the jobs of the future. that's why other countries are in this race. that's why the americans are in this race. i don't want us to sit this race out and then in 10 or 20 years, regret it when all the jobs and the energy production is elsewhere and we haven't done it for ourselves. we have incredible resources , we have incredible resources, incredible natural resources, as well as skills . we need to take well as skills. we need to take advantage of that. we need to be in the to race win the race. why

not? scotland would be what i would say. thank you chris. >> okay, question there from our political editor, christopher hope, who is at the press conference in glasgow . he asked conference in glasgow. he asked two questions. the first was about, donald trump's hush money trial, well, he was found guilty, wasn't he, on 34 charges of paying. paying a stripper , of paying. paying a stripper, stormy daniels. so keir starmer dennis said, that it would be up for. it was a very diplomatic answer. when asked how he deal with them, which is in stark contrast to previous comments from labour types, including david lammy, who previously called donald trump a neo nazi sympathising sociopath. >> yes, i read that and i've seen some quotes by david cameron. you should read david cameron's autobiography. i mean, he's does a dump trump of a dump on trump just as bad as that. i'm sorry. when you think a quy's i'm sorry. when you think a guy's out of power, you get very tough and angry with them. then the moment the man or woman is going to take over a head of state. >> 10s your response to that? he was being diplomatic. >> yeah .

>> yeah. >> yeah. >> okay. good stuff. all right. tatiana sanchez is on standby with your news headlines. back in a sec. >> ben. thank you. the top stories this morning, sir keir starmer has outlined what he's called a clean energy revolution , starting with a new publicly owned company that will cut the cost of bills. unveiling labour's plan to cut household energy bills, the labour leader said the new gb energy would also speed up the transition to clean power, urging his supporters to vote for change. the keir said that while liz truss had lost control of the economy, labour's plans could be trusted. >> as you'd expect , ruthlessly >> as you'd expect, ruthlessly well prepared, fully costed, fully funded and ready to go . so fully funded and ready to go. so step one economic stability , the step one economic stability, the foundation of growth. the only way to keep taxes, inflation and mortgages low . because if we

mortgages low. because if we learned one thing, it's that if you lose control of the economy, it's working. people who pay the price . liz truss lost control of price. liz truss lost control of the economy , and in scotland, the economy, and in scotland, everybody with a mortgage is paying everybody with a mortgage is paying the price month by month, by month . by month. >> in the us, donald trump was found guilty last night of falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal in a historic turnaround from commander in chief to convicted criminal. no former or serving us president has ever been convicted of a crime before. trump, who pleaded not guilty and denied all 34 counts against him, rejected the verdict and said the people would ultimately decide in november's election . recent november's election. recent polls suggest a tight race against president biden. they're around 13% of trump's supporters have said they wouldn't vote for him if he were found guilty . us

him if he were found guilty. us voters now face the question of re—electing an unpopular president or a convicted criminal. speaking outside court , trump dismissed the verdict as a disgrace . a disgrace. >> this was a rigged, disgraceful trial , but the real disgraceful trial, but the real verdict is going to be november 5th by the people and they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened here. you have a soros backed d.a. knows what happened here. you have a soros backed da. and the whole thing. we didn't do a thing wrong . i'm a very innocent thing wrong. i'm a very innocent man and it's okay. i'm fighting for our country. i'm fighting for our country. i'm fighting for our country. i'm fighting for our constitution . for our constitution. >> trump's insurgent campaign has divided us politics and now poses the once unthinkable possibility of a convicted criminal occupying the white house gb news correspondent stephen edington says many people still believe his trial was politically motivated . was politically motivated. >> i think the point that the republicans and trump are making is that these were democrat prosecutors and democrat sort of

politicians who are pursuing this prosecution and the case seems very weak, you know, if any other man was charged with the similar crime, i don't think this would have ever come to a court of law if his name wasn't donald trump. certainly alvin bragg, who is the district attorney in new york, the democrat, prosecutor, you know, he was campaigning openly saying he was campaigning openly saying he would convict or try and convict donald trump, in his election campaign. so i think many see this as a political prosecution . prosecution. >> in other news, more than 600 homes in surrey have been told not to drink their tap water after tests by thames water. the company says there's a possible deterioration in the quality of drinking water in some areas. hundreds of households in the village of bramley have been given precautionary instructions not to use their water supply for drinking, cooking or brushing their teeth. it comes after tests were carried out following a historical fuel leak from a petrol station, which has

guarantee the winds will blow or the sun will shine . the sun will shine. >> and i'm just going to quickly read this one from brendan, who says so according to qatar. org we need somewhere in the region of 15,000 wind turbines. this is from 2023. now to place this many wind turbines, you would need an area twice the size of wales . so can you ask the labour wales. so can you ask the labour mp where the hell are we going to put to build houses? >> thank you for all your comments. >> keep them coming in and we will endeavour to get them read out. now, the big story of the day is that donald trump has vowed to keep fighting after he was found guilty of all counts in his new york hush money trial. >> he now faces possible jail time over his convictions for covering up payments to the aduu covering up payments to the adult film star stormy daniels to buy her silence over alleged affair. now, he's set to be sentenced in just over a week's time . time. >> he left the courtroom frankly quite furious. here's what he had to say. and, by the way, count how many times he says the word rigged . word rigged. >> this was a disgrace. >> this was a disgrace. >> this was a disgrace. >> this was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was

corrupt. it's a rigged trial , a corrupt. it's a rigged trial, a disgrace. this was a rigged , disgrace. this was a rigged, disgraceful trial. but the real verdict is going to be november 5th by the people . and they know 5th by the people. and they know what happened here. and everybody knows what happened here. our whole country is being figged here. our whole country is being rigged right now. this was done by the biden administration . by the biden administration. >> okay. our home security edhon >> okay. our home security editor, mark white, joins us now. mark, just explain to viewers at home who aren't all clued up about american politics, why donald trump thinks it was rigged. >> well, he believes it was figged >> well, he believes it was rigged because you've got multiple cases that have been brought against the former president , another four brought against the former president, another four criminal cases that still await trial. and he believes that biden is behind that. he's, of course, railed against what he sees as a, a democratic , attorney, a, a democratic, attorney, general who is prosecutor who's

in the, in manhattan, also the judge, of course, a democrat. it is a politicised legal system that they have in the states. so that's why he is pointing the finger right back at the white house there, and all this is going to do , i think, at the end going to do, i think, at the end of the day is just polarise us even more deeply. the two camps here with the base, trump's base, galvanised, i think, to campaign even harder for him. we've heard, for instance , that we've heard, for instance, that the donation website, crashed because of all of the extra, funds that people were pledging, for donald trump in his campaign. and those that are against trump . well, it will against trump. well, it will just reaffirm what they've always thought about trump in the first place. but i think the most interesting , aspect and we most interesting, aspect and we are in uncharted territory here,

with the most interesting aspect will be just where we are with these, swing voters . is that these, swing voters. is that some of them who had said they were probably minded to vote for donald trump, but in some polling that's taking place in recent weeks, there was a suggestion that if he became a convicted felon, that those that might be minded to vote for him might be minded to vote for him might change their mind. >> but the options, you know, aren't that great, are they? they've either got joe biden , they've either got joe biden, who doesn't appear to look like he's coming or going, or they've got donald trump, who, if he is convicted, will be a convicted felon. i suppose out of those two, do you really see joe biden having a chance of winning? seriously? >> well , it's too close to call, >> well, it's too close to call, frank luntz, who is a well—known and respected pollster, was saying just this morning, if you'd asked me a day ago before these verdicts were in, he would have , probably just called it in

have, probably just called it in trump's favour. but now he says he just can't call it. he doesn't know how it's going to play doesn't know how it's going to play out. and of course, regardless of, you know, the chances of trump getting in to the white house or not, there's the white house or not, there's the issue of if he gets in and becomes the 47th president of the united states, he's going to be in office with this case still hanging over him, because it's going to go to appeal. there's no doubt about that. and that won't be resolved before he gets into office. if he wins the election and the other cases as well, it's going to be a bitter , well, it's going to be a bitter, angry man in office having to deal with a world which is in a very perilous state at the moment. with the war raging in ukraine, with the middle east, going through turmoil as well, with what's happening in gaza, with what's happening in gaza, with strikes, of course, just in yemen by the us and britain,

overnight and of course, an increasingly belligerent china , increasingly belligerent china, not to mention north korea, all of the above . so it's, you know, of the above. so it's, you know, the that under as far as under as far as watch really sorry . as far as watch really sorry. >> as long as it's under joe biden's watch as well. it's all sort of well exploded since. >> well indeed. but you know trump taking office if he does with all of the sort of the judicial ramifications , all of judicial ramifications, all of that hanging over him, is going to be a distraction, to say the very least. all right. >> thank you. mark. we're joined now by professor david dunn from the university of birmingham, a professor in international politics. good morning to you , politics. good morning to you, there's this theory that mark also just mentioned off the back of polling that undecided voters who may have been considering voting for donald trump are now probably going to be put off by the fact he's a convicted felon. i personally, i just can't i can't buy that. is that true ?

can't buy that. is that true? >> well, we don't know, and that question was asked back in april, and the question was a hypothetical one about whether he was convicted of any felony. and of course, at that point, it looked likely that there would be four separate criminal cases, the three other ones being more serious than this one. so this one is the least serious of the four. and given he's convicted of this one rather than the other three, it may well be the case that that impact is less for this case than it would have been for any of the other ones , been for any of the other ones, but we don't know what the impact will be, and we'll have to wait and see. and of course, the other another aspect of that is that, what we don't know is how donald trump will respond to this. he seems to be very angry. and if you look at some of the, rallies that he's been doing, he's becoming increasingly, rampant in the things he's saying, talking about deporting 15 million illegal aliens, putting up a 10% tariff on all imports into the united states. he can make this can make him

even more , rampant in the things even more, rampant in the things he says, because he is angry. for example, one of the things he's talking about doing is purging what he calls the deep state. well, perhaps if he was elected, he would plan to gut the justice department. and comments like that may actually alienate, undecided voters. and therefore, the impact of this, conviction may be that actually he says things that put people off rather than actually people reacting to the conviction itself. >> i mean , he ran his 2016 >> i mean, he ran his 2016 campaign on draining the swamp. and he, of course , won. i just i and he, of course, won. i just i just personally can't believe that anyone would be put off by comments such as, you know, dismantling the justice department or even the fact that he's now been convicted. i think if you were going to vote for trump, any of this new stuff kind of you know, is here nor there personally. but that's just my take, yeah. >> look, i, i think the american people appear to be opening their eyes and seeing this as an

unfair treatment of a politician. and i think they are also seeing the justice system being weaponized . and so far, being weaponized. and so far, all of this has done nothing but actually give trump more support. i know what you're saying , but do you not think saying, but do you not think that rather than people turning away from him as his website crashed earlier, people are actually turning towards him and in fact, he's going to divide them further and he's actually going to be better off against joe biden after this. >> well, i think you're right. it will divide people further. but i completely disagree with you when you say that that this will push more people towards him, and see it as a, as a politicised justice system, the justice system in new york is an independent judiciary, a democracy works on by having separation of powers and the rule of law has been applied. we've had five weeks of testimony in the case, if you listen to it was fairly compelling, actually , against compelling, actually, against him. and the 12 jurors deliberated for 12 hours. clearly, they started that process not in unanimity.

otherwise it wouldn't have taken them 12 hours. and they eventually convinced the waverers that actually he was guilty on 34 counts. got it. and and yeah. >> so, david, let me just address something you said there. you said that the judiciary in, manhattan, new york, is completely independent. i mean, that's not entirely true because the da, alvin bragg is a democrat who said that it would be his mission to nail donald trump. he's he's now done it. so, i mean, how is that independent? well because the way in which the american justice system works is that you are elected on your party affiliation so that you approach it, if they want more conservative or more liberal, represents they vote on that basis. >> but being a member of a political party does not mean that you can't, administer the law. and, and a, evenhanded . law. and, and a, evenhanded. >> could you imagine that here? could you imagine if we had labour or , tory cps prosecutors? labour or, tory cps prosecutors? i mean, it's just absurd. i mean, again, how is that independent? >> he's already stated his case

before the case has even gone to trial. so that's not really very independent, is it? i mean, it's indefensible . indefensible. >> well, actually, the way in which the, magistrates courts works is that when you apply to become a magistrate, you you indicate your political affiliation in order that the bench has a representative sample of people from each political party, and they're allocated on the basis of the share of the last election. so there is an equivalence here of there is an equivalence here of the way in which balance is sought. and again, if you have a democratic state like new york is you actually elect democratic prosecutors. and that means that actually the legal system reflects the views of the population . and that's why they population. and that's why they do that. it doesn't mean that there is no justice. the idea that trump is some sort of victim , is belies the facts. victim, is belies the facts. >> no, no one's no one's suggesting that. but i was just addressing your particular point by saying it was independent. i mean, as we've already gone over it, but some would argue, how can it be when they're politically affiliated? but

professor david dunn from the university of birmingham, thank you for joining university of birmingham, thank you forjoining us university of birmingham, thank you for joining us this morning. much appreciated. >> yeah, not only politically affiliated, but making comments like that as well. >> well, in the, the other case where he was forced to pay 300 odd million dollars to, another accuser accused him of sexual assault and rape, the da , i assault and rape, the da, i think it was from new york, also went on twitter boasting and celebrating the fact that they'd they'd find him or he'd been made to pay rather so much money. >> but but didn't that come down because it was like something like 80 million or something? >> it wasn't that in the end, whatever the figure was, my point is that you've got could you imagine cps, prosecutors going on twitter, speaking publicly about how they want to nail people, even gone to trial? that's the point. >> yeah. well listen, stay with us. up next, a parliamentary candidate has sorry, has had excrement posted through this door. excrement posted through this door . his excrement posted through this door. his their door. we're discussing that constant threats to our politicians. is that acceptable? this is britain's newsroom on

gb news. >> hello. welcome back. 1120 for you with ben nana on britain's newsroom on gb news. and we're also joined again by journalist and broadcaster dawn neesom. and former labour mp denis macshane. welcome back to you both, in the telegraph today, dawn richard tice has slapped down nigel farage over his hint at a possible election pact with the tories. richard said there were no deals to be done with the conservatives after nigel suggested he could be willing to come to an agreement. >> nigel actually said he was open to a conversation and, to be fair to nigel, open to a conversation and, to be fairto nigel, i open to a conversation and, to be fair to nigel, i think being open to a conversation in politics is always a good thing. i mean, what's the old adage about keeping your your enemies closer than your friends? and i think being able to have conversations with people you may regard as your enemies is a good thing, not the least because you learn things . so. because you learn things. so. but you know what? i just want a political party. any political party, to be united just for once. you know , we've had labour

once. you know, we've had labour with sort of like our, with angela backing our, diane abbott and keir not. we've had the tories who who are fighting like rats in a sack. and now even even reform are doing the same thing. and it's like, is there any is there anyone united on anything? >> dennis, i thought i was going off to help a convicted felon in america with his election. oh, no, i can say that now . you can. no, i can say that now. you can. 12 good men and true made the decision . i've been listening to decision. i've been listening to all of these debates. no, without abolishing jury trial by jury without abolishing jury trial by jury in the united states, if you listen to some of the people from the right arguing, i find it fascinating. nigel's problem is i love him. i like him personally. he's very kind to me. when i got into some trouble. he is a huge personality. he was on question time last night. oh yes. he's not young anymore , but he's not young anymore, but he's neven not young anymore, but he's never, ever been supported by british voters in the ballot box to become an mp. >> okay, well he has he's well not an mp. he's won election as

an mep multiple times. ukip in 2015 won 4.3 million votes. they were the second party, sorry the third party. >> they want to tell you about european parliament elections. >> because, say it's only because of the way the electoral system is structured. >> right. >> right. >> if. >> if. >> all right, if he's done more than any mp, i should for sure backs, the liberal democrats and the greens . the greens. >> he wants a fully pr system just like the israelis have got. and some of the well, most of europe has a pr system. yes. and look at the politics of now producing not getting into pr debates, but our politics. >> well are you saying ours ours are some something to be sort of proud, actually. >> it'll be very interesting in a month we will. i assume we'll have for the first time in ten years, a reasonably stable government with a good majority. now, you may not like his policies . you may not last long, policies. you may not last long, but i assume. but what now? find is that that reform richard tice ben habib and dumping of nigel farage i love it. let's look more of it. >> nigel was on peston's show

last night. he said. he clarified the comments. he said that the only deal he'd ever do with the conservative party is if they agreed to stand down candidates in some seats, so reform would win those seats, which he said would never happen. he said it's never gonna happen. >> forget it. suggestion that would never happen. >> well, no, no, no, we all make suggestions that would never happen. >> so i think we need to be careful here because we're into murky waters with some of our politicians. >> nigel is, i think , slightly, >> nigel is, i think, slightly, you know, he's had a fantastic 20 year run, he's certainly transformed british politics. he's made anti—europeanism legit and won, helped win a referendum. i don't deny that for one second. but whenever he's put himself up to the british people to be made a lawmaker, they said no thanks, nigel. >> i think i think no, no, no, i think that's quite disingenuous because he actually has become more consequential than many mps. so brexit, let's talk about real political movements that have actually happened. but let's talk about sorry, i'm speaking we're talking about de—banking. yes. he, he he got out there and he made changes

just from his own personal experience . so whether he is an experience. so whether he is an mp or whether he is representing a party, nigel farage has made some incredible moves and it is a political system , that has not a political system, that has not enabled people to get a tiny point . point. >> nigel, you dawn others are really big personalities who shift some of the political debates. i accept that. all i'm saying is he's never , ever been saying is he's never, ever been validated by the british people in a parliamentary vote to become one of our lawmakers. they love him as a big personality , and that's because personality, and that's because of the electoral system. >> it is really, as you said . >> it is really, as you said. >> it is really, as you said. >> well, let's bring in dawn. >> well, let's bring in dawn. >> dawn, nigel has suggested, please don't join listening. >> he suggested he'd have more sway over britain as part potentially of a trump administration as opposed to, you know, trying to stand as a lowly, well, not a lowly mp. i very much respect mps, but as an mp over here, you see, the point probably will have depends obviously, on what happens with trump going forward. >> and we know that the

sentencing is going to happen in july. whether trump will go to jail . july. whether trump will go to jail. everyone very much july. whether trump will go to jail . everyone very much doubts jail. everyone very much doubts it given his age and given what he's actually been charged with. and it doesn't look good for american politics, does it? so, i mean, i actually felt quite disappointed when nigel farage said he was going over to america rather than standing or doing something political in the country that he professes to love very much. so i felt like it was a bit disappointed then, but i think he might have a point . i but i think he might have a point. i think he can be more influential there. i mean, i think, you know, our politics at the moment is a bit of a basket case.i the moment is a bit of a basket case. i honestly don't know how all this is going to come out in the wash in the next five weeks. it's not five weeks. i'm looking forward to, so i think, you know, nigel might have a point, but i will. the one thing i will agree with you, i think he's been one of the most influential political influences in this country for a long, long time. regardless of whether you like him or whether you vote for him. nothing to do with that. he has changed the face of british politics. >> well, he also said that he does regret not standing, but

the reason why was simply that he did not have the time, and he needed at least six months to gather the campaign. so well, there was that as well. >> well, there was that conspiracy theory about, you know, i don't believe it, but have the tories announced this campaign so fast because it didn't give the likes of nigel farage to get his acting together. >> right? well, dawn neesom and denis macshane, thank you very much. let's get your latest news headunes much. let's get your latest news headlines with tatiana sanchez. >> gnaana. thank you and good morning. the top stories. sir keir starmer has outlined what he's called a clean energy revolution, starting with a new publicly owned company unveiling labour's plans to cut energy bills. the labour leader said the new gb energy would also speed up the transition to clean power, urging his supporters to vote for change. the keir said that while liz truss had lost control of the economy , labour's control of the economy, labour's plans could be trusted. >> as you'd expect, ruthlessly well prepared, fully costed, fully funded and ready to go.

step one economic stability the foundation of growth the only way to keep taxes, inflation and mortgages low . because if we mortgages low. because if we learned one thing, it's that if you lose control of the economy, it's working . people who pay the it's working. people who pay the price . liz truss lost control of price. liz truss lost control of the economy , and in scotland, the economy, and in scotland, everybody with a mortgage is paying everybody with a mortgage is paying the price month by month, by month . by month. >> in the us, donald trump was found guilty last night of falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal in a historic turnaround from commander in chief to convicted criminal trump, who pleaded not guilty and denied all 34 counts against him, rejected the verdict and said the people would ultimately decide in november's election . decide in november's election. recent polls suggest a tight race against president biden , race against president biden, though around 13% of trump's

gb news. >> 1145 ben gb news. >>1145 ben and nana with you. this friday on britain's newsroom on gb news. thank you. of course, for your never ending comments and emails. gbnews.com forward slash your say on all of today's stories. the big one, of course, being donald trump's conviction. we had sir keir starmer with his labour announcement in glasgow about british energy, a big plan for decarbonisation of the uk by 2030. >> well, tina london said that if they upped the windfall tax on these companies, meaning the energy companies that will filter down to the consumer like it always does, so we will be hit in the pocket again. i think she's being sarcastic there because the price has never come down. do you say that's simple business economics care more costs higher pricing. that's what her thoughts are. >> and the very the very funny. okay. we'll go to christopher hope he's in, he's in scotland. yes. with the scottish labour leader. so labour of course this morning as i mentioned have launched their big green energy plan. chopper, what's going on.

>> morning. yeah. are you joining me in glasgow here with anas sarwar, the scottish labour leader , you're here unveiling leader, you're here unveiling your great british energy plan. how much will it save families? >> look, we have got two parts of this plan. one is the immediate, which is partly using the windfall tax to drive down people's bills. >> but also the medium to longer term, which is gb energy, a publicly owned energy generation company that will be headquartered here in scotland, helping to make those strategic investments in onshore wind, offshore wind , tidal, solar, offshore wind, tidal, solar, hydrogen, as well as carbon capture and storage, which we believe can bring down people's bills permanently . alongside bills permanently. alongside that, of course, the economic stability that's required to drive down inflation and bring down the cost of people's mortgages . and another part of mortgages. and another part of that plan, which is our make work pay a new deal for working people, which is to drive up wages across the country. collectively, we believe we can increase people's incomes and bnng increase people's incomes and bring down their bills by hundreds of pounds. >> well, how much, though? because sometimes you say £400 and sometimes £300 by 2030. which one? >> well, look, i'm sure . rachel

>> well, look, i'm sure. rachel reeves. who we are really trusting and putting our. your policy. no, absolutely. putting our confidence to in deliver that economic stability. of course, you'll know, depending on how much you save will also depend on how ofgem sets those rates. and we hope we can continue to see that being dnven continue to see that being driven down, as well as people's consumption coming down by insulating people's homes , as insulating people's homes, as well as creating more of that clean energy to drive up the generation. so we're not reliant on those foreign imports coming from despotic regimes like russia. so we think this can be a package alongside the new deal for working people, alongside driving down inflation. that can help working families. >> and you want more onshore wind farms, do you ? wind farms, do you? >> look, i think that has to be part of the mix. of course. of course that has to be done in collaboration with local communities, i think. right now there's probably some frustration from some local communities who look at these wind farms going up and think, actually, how is it benefiting my bill when my bill is still skyrocketing? i'm not receiving any financial benefit from this, but it's on my doorstep. and part of what we're looking at

with gb energy is how you get greater community ownership of those assets, so we can drive down local people's bills . those down local people's bills. those are contributing into the energy grid as well as helping them create those jobs for the future. i think that has a big part of what we're looking at around gb. >> they're quite noisy. would you live next door to one? >> why not? i think they look beautiful. i think they are fantastic. >> living next door to an anas sarwar. >> i think they'll i think they're there. why not? i think they're there. why not? i think they're driving down people's bills. i think if they can create more jobs, then why not? i think that's a good thing and i think that's a good thing and i promise we haven't named it after the news channel in terms of gb energy, although i'm sure there's a connection. >> and just quickly, keir starmer flew here by private jet to a green announcement. is that hypocrisy attacks. rishi sunak. for the same thing. >> well, of course he's going to offset his carbon emissions as you would expect him to do. but in this five week election campaign, we can't afford to waste any minute in trying to get right around the country, trying to persuade people to vote. labour in this election. and cure wants to be and will be a prime minister for every part of the country. that means he has to get round every part of the country as much as he can

over the next five weeks. we're delighted to have him here in scotland. he's here almost every other week, which is great because it's demonstrating that he understands scotland, cares about scotland, wants to deliver for scotland and is working with us to persuade scottish people to vote labour in this election. >> and just finally, sir keir starmer won't say that your colleague diane abbott should be an mp or a candidate for mp at the next election . you say she the next election. you say she will. angela rayner says you will. angela rayner says you will. six union bosses say she will. six union bosses say she will. is sir keir starmer showing weak leadership here? >> i think what he's doing is following due process. so there has been a disciplinary process that's now concluded. diane has the whip back, he said there is no decision to bar diane abbott, but there is. it's for the nec to make the decision on who our candidates are . and of course, candidates are. and of course, there's no decision from the nec yet on my part. i have agreed with angela rayner to say that diane is a trailblazer in the labour party, someone with a proud history of delivery, both for our party and her local community, and someone who made history by being elected as the first woman, first black woman mp, which is , of course, making

mp, which is, of course, making history in itself. so what we're focused on what's really on offer here, which is the choice and the change, and let's deliver that change by getting rid of this rotten tory government and by voting scottish labour in this election on the 4th of july. >> anas sarwar joana jarjue gb news today in scotland. great to see you here. and that's anas sarwar, the scottish labour leader, with some support there for diane abbott. we'll hear more on her future next week. >> thanks, christopher. interesting answer about flying to scotland on a private jet. he says that he'll offset it by planting some trees or something interesting , do as i say, not as interesting, do as i say, not as i do, let's go to the suns. former royal correspondent top scoop get'er charlie rae, who's going to be talking about the fact princess kate, the princess of wales will not attend the rehearsal for trooping the colour next week as she continues her chemotherapy treatment. good morning, charles. this is to be expected, isn't it? and also, by the way, why is everyone so obsessed with when we're going to see catherine again? can't we just leave her alone to recover in peace? >> well, i think we have left it alone to recover in peace. >> i mean, there's an awful lot of traffic going on in social

media, but i mean, clearly the fact that she's not going to be at the rehearsal for trooping the colour, you know , is a bit the colour, you know, is a bit of a blow. >> and i think that the problem is , you know, people expect to is, you know, people expect to see we've had deadlines. if you like, about, you know, she's going to be back at such and such a day. she was going to be back for trooping the colour, and clearly she is listening, quite rightly to the doctor's advice as to when she thinks or when they think that she can go back into public duties. >> there's still some suggestion that she might appear at, the actual trooping the colour from the balcony, the week after next, we'll have to wait and see. but, you know, there's an awful lot of speculation as to when this poor woman's going to come back to work, you know, is it going to be the autumn? is it going to be next year? it just goes to show, i mean, like anybody who's suffering from cancen anybody who's suffering from cancer, this is not an easy journey. and we've got to give her the time as we have to give other people the time. >> how is, king charles coping? because he seems to be doing all his royal engagements. now, do we have an update on on his

health? >> yes. i mean, well, we haven't actually got any more update than we have. he's back at work. he's going to be at trooping the colour. he's going to be, reviewing the troops, not from horseback as he as he normally does, but from the estate carriage, which has been specially adapted. i'm not sure exactly what part of it's been specially adapted , but that's specially adapted, but that's what they're telling us. it's been specially adapted. so he can carry out the review. so it's nice to see him back in action. and, like catherine, you know, he has been working behind the scenes as well as has catherine with her. you know, the scheme to improve , child the scheme to improve, child benefits at work, you know, for working parents. so she's not just sitting there, you know, with her feet up watching daytime tv much, you know, as you guys would like to see. yeah. >> okay. charles, thank you so much for the insight. appreciate it. and, of course, we extend our wishes to catherine and the king as they both recover from their health ailments , one very their health ailments, one very quick announcement, quite a funny development, actually. ian
