a gaffe . >> and a gaffe. >> and a gaffe. >> there are some reports this morning suggesting that you flew here on a private jet. is that true .7 true? >> the snp aren't happy, but i do put out a cautionary word that a lot of what i hear of labour's energy plans will result in significant loss of employment in the north—east of scotland, in the oil and gas sector, and i do not want to be part of that . is reformed part of that. is reformed immigration tax great or a little bit racist? >> the cure is an employer immigration tax . immigration tax. >> well how does this affect britain. so we're going to be appealing this scam . appealing this scam. >> we're going to be appealing it on many different things. and it on many different things. and it looks like terror in germany . it looks like terror in germany. >> but the big noise tonight is all about this. i have a huge general election exclusive to

bnng general election exclusive to bring to you. i'll reveal the first in—depth mega poll of the election , analysing every single election, analysing every single seat. the results are absolutely astonishing. it will be leading the news agenda over the weekend. so you will get it here first and you will get it here in a matter of minutes. on my panel tonight, it is the wonderful columnist harriet sergeant. no relation to political hack john sergeant and apprentice finalist and entrepreneur joana jarjue. oh and can you guess what happens next . here? get ready britain. next. here? get ready britain. here we go . here we go. absolutely. bombshell polling data , the likes of which we have data, the likes of which we have quite literally never seen before. next .

before. next. >> well, the top story from the gp newsroom tonight involves some breaking news coming to us from the white house, where joe biden, the us president, has outlined a new three phase deal which he says could potentially end the israel—hamas war. well, it's going to begin, he says, with a six week ceasefire and then also on the agenda , the then also on the agenda, the return of some israeli hostages and ultimately the withdrawal of israeli troops from populated areas of gaza and a big increase in aid for palestinians. it's a new idea. it's been put forward tonight from the white house if negotiations are successful, phase three of this proposal would involve the reconstruction of damaged infrastructure in gaza. well, here, in reaction to that in the uk, lord david cameron, our foreign secretary, of course, is urging hamas to accept the deal . and we've heard accept the deal. and we've heard the eu's top diplomat, josep borrell, has swung his weight

behind the idea in approval . behind the idea in approval. however, a spokesperson for the israeli prime minister says war will not end for israel until all its goals are achieved. well, that's the breaking development coming out of the united states tonight. meanwhile in reaction to the conviction of donald trump last evening , joe donald trump last evening, joe biden's also been addressing that criminal conviction. in a statement tonight, he said it shows justice is continuing to operate. here's what he had to say. >> it's reckless, it's dangerous. it's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged. just because they don't like the verdict . our justice like the verdict. our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years, and it literally is the cornerstone of america . the cornerstone of america. >> well before that, donald trump said he would appeal against his conviction, claiming the legal process was very unfair and he accused joe biden's administration of rigging it as well. he was found

guilty, of course, on all 34 counts last night in the manhattan courtroom. however, it doesn't appear to have deterred his supporters, including reform uk's nigel farage, also a presenter on this channel who says donations to the republican's campaign have now increased in a speech at trump tower earlier on this afternoon, donald trump said he'd simply paid a legal expense and hadn't falsified business records. >> i'm doing something for this country and i'm doing something for our constitution. it's very important, far beyond me and this can't be allowed to happen to other presidents. it should never be allowed to happen in the future. but this is far beyond me. this is bigger than trump. this is bigger than me. this is bigger than my presidency . presidency. >> well, for news here in the uk now, and regarding the election, sir keir starmer, the labour leader of the labour party, has given the green light for veteran labour mp diane abbott to stand as a labour candidate in the general election in july.

it's after the mp was suspended over comments she made suggesting that jewish, irish and traveller people experienced prejudice but not racism for days. the labour leader had declined to confirm whether mr abbott would be able to defend her seat in july, but this afternoon sir keir confirmed she can stand for labour and a vote for labour is a is a chance to end that chaos to turn a page, to change for the better of the country, to change our nhs, to change our public services, to make sure our economy is stable, to make sure our communities are cared for and to move forward and rebuild our country. >> that is the choice i accept. not a single vote has been cast. i'm humble about this and i know every vote must be earned. but the power now under our democracy is with the voters . democracy is with the voters. >> to sir keir starmer, just before i go a little bit of sporting news for you. scotland have kicked off, moments just before their women's euro 2025

qualifier against israel after a delay of over half an hour, despite the match being held behind closed doors, one protester did manage to get inside. hampden park chain himself to one of the goals, but that match now underway, england also playing tonight in their top of the table clash with france. we'll let you know the results of those games later on in the evening . that's the news. in the evening. that's the news. for the latest stories, do sign up to gb news alerts. scan that qr code on your screen or go to gb news. common alerts . gb news. common alerts. >> in five weeks time, you will have made your choice. the votes will have been counted and the results will be in. well, we can reveal in a tv exclusive is the results of the first major poll of its kind since the general election was called. this poll, done by electoral calculus in conjunction with us here @gbnews and the daily mail, uses the mrp method. now, it's been used to successfully predict the last two british general elections

and gives the estimated result in each constituency . the sample in each constituency. the sample size is 10,000 people, and it was conducted from may the 20th to may the 27th. the results are in and they are absolutely astonishing. the number of seats predicted to be won by each party at the general election are as follows. labour 493. the conservatives 72. the liberal democrats 39. the snp 22. plaid cymru four and the greens two. and to break that down in percentages for you, that would put the conservatives just on this poll on 19% of the vote, labour on 46, the lib dems on 10, reform on 12. but importantly as well, with no seats there, i'll come on to that later. the greens 8, the snp with 3% implied on 0.5. bit of context for you now this

would be the worst result for the conservatives since at least 1900. this forecast would mean a larger labour majority than tony blair's landslide in 1997, and it will be the largest win by any party in modern parliamentary history, except for 1931. but here is another astonishing revelation. here are the 18 conservative cabinet members who would lose their seats. oliver dowden, the deputy pm james cleverly , grant shapps pm james cleverly, grant shapps penny mordaunt . we've also got penny mordaunt. we've also got kemi badenoch, claire coutinho, mel stride , there's gillian mel stride, there's gillian keegan, mark harper, david davies and victoria prentice, esther mcvey, andrew mitchell and johnny mercer. they would all go to labour by the way. alex chalk and michael tomlinson would apparently both lose to the liberal democrats. ulster jack would lose to the snp and

simon hart to plaid cymru, another big name would be sir jacob rees mogg . apparently he jacob rees mogg. apparently he would go as well. now a lot can change in politics. there are weeks to go in this election campaign and that poll was concluded on may the 27th. but those results are stark . i'm those results are stark. i'm joined now by the man behind the poll. it's the founder and ceo of electoral calculus, martin baxter. martin thank you very, very much for joining baxter. martin thank you very, very much forjoining us here on patrick christys tonight. those results are absolutely astonishing. can you shed some more light on them for us, please? >> good evening. patrick. yes indeed. these are disappointing results for the conservatives and very pleasing results for laboun and very pleasing results for labour. and you made a very important comparison with tony blair's landslide victory in 1997, where he got a majority of 179 seats. but he enjoyed a lead in the polls of about 13, and labour have been seeing a poll lead of consistently above 20%

for the last few months. and in the and in the campaign so far. and just in simple terms , 20% is and just in simple terms, 20% is bigger than 13. so keir starmer and keir starmers labour party is doing better than tony blair did in 1997, and is very reasonable that that's going to translate into a bigger majority. and that's what our mrp poll is showing. by translating the votes nationally and locally into actual seat predictions , we see that the predictions, we see that the conservatives could well win fewer than 100 seats, which would be, almost unprecedented , would be, almost unprecedented, i think, in modern times. >> no, indeed, the liberal democrats could do quite well. and also the results that i read out there did not factor in tactical voting. could you just expand on that a little bit for us as well, please? >> that's right. yes. our poll, which i should say was also conducted jointly with find out now, another pollster , we asked now, another pollster, we asked a lot of questions of our big 10,000 sample about tactical voting and that , that makes voting and that, that makes a difference, though it's maybe not as big as people think, partly because some people have already decided to vote

tactically , and also because tactically, and also because there's a lot of confusion between voters. we've had the, change to the seat boundaries are coming into force at this election. and also there's such a difference between the previous election result and the likely election result now is that voters a bit confused whom to vote for tactically . but to vote for tactically. but we've listened to what they said and tried to work out what they were going to do. and one small crumb of comfort for the conservatives is that tactical voting looks likely to cost labour more seats than the conservatives. the conservatives might lose about six seats from tactical voting, and labour could lose, 15 or 20. so the main gainers from tactical voting will be liberal democrats, where they can convince people that they are the, challenger to the conservatives one less good thing for the conservatives. we saw is that on the right of centre, there's little appetite to vote tactically between conservative supporters and reform supporters. reform uk supporters. they don't seem to trust each other as much as,

say, liberal and liberal democrat supporters trust the other party. >> yes. no, indeed. and could you just quickly for us trying to break it down through regions so you know, what's the red wall looking like? what's the south—east looking like . you south—east looking like. you know, what's scotland looking like? please >> so absolutely in the north and the midlands labour look set to win a lot of seats and conservatives will be in quite, quite thin on the ground there. but labour is also making inroads into the south and the south—east of england, traditionally areas where they've not done terribly well at all, but they are looking to make big gains in in even some quite unlikely seats , scotland quite unlikely seats, scotland is a different, story with different dynamics there. the stories is very much that the snp are down from their immensely strong peaks that they they had in previous general elections and look set to to, lose seats mostly to labour. so labour winning in scotland as well. so it's , it's really well. so it's, it's really electorally speaking, everything is going right for keir starmer

because he's positioned labour quite well to pick up a lot of, disillusioned voters outside labour's traditional heartlands. >> martin, thank you very, very much. that's martin baxter there, who is the founder and ceo of electoral calculus. it was also conducted, as he was right to point out there, that poll alongside find out. now i am going to introduce aukus into the fray. our political editor here @gbnews, christopher holac . here @gbnews, christopher holac. we've had these stats there, and they are absolutely astonishing . they are absolutely astonishing. labour 493 seats, the tories to down 72. it will be the worst result for the conservatives since at least 1900. astonishing, extraordinary. >> and it lays bare the risk taken by the prime minister. >> rishi sunak didn't have to call the election he had until january the 25th. next year he went earlier than everyone had thought. most of his mps didn't think this was going to happen. no one thought it would happen. this poll, this mrp polling, detailed polling, it sounds a multilevel regression and post—stratification. in case you're wondering, patrick trade detailed polling started on monday before before the

election was called, the 20th ran for a week, so it covers the first few days of elections. a wobbly start . first few days of elections. a wobbly start. he first few days of elections. a wobbly start . he got first few days of elections. a wobbly start. he got soaking first few days of elections. a wobbly start . he got soaking wet wobbly start. he got soaking wet in the rain, didn't he, mr sunak? and he went , in the rain, didn't he, mr sunak? and he went, you in the rain, didn't he, mr sunak? and he went , you forgot sunak? and he went, you forgot to run an exit sign. and so it goes on. the tories would say, well, we can pull this back five more weeks to go, but it shows the scale of the challenge and does drawn the question, why call an election when you're so far behind again? he's gambled his entire, well, his entire reputation on this election. and it shows the challenges facing the scale of the of this poll, but also the rolls under this poll of 18 cabinet members . poll of 18 cabinet members. >> absolutely astonishing. you've got the likes of oliver dowden, you've got james cleverly, you've got grant shapps, penny morton, esther mcvey. i mean, there's a load of these. gillian keegan just to rattle off a few of the people. >> that means patrick is assuming that mr sunak, were he to lose the election, leaves stands down as leader, which he probably should or would do. you're left with jeremy hunt, vicky atkins , tom tugendhat, vicky atkins, tom tugendhat, steve bartley and michelle donelan as the only cabinet ministers left who could fight

for leadership. it shows a scale it will completely redraw who we think might be leader of this party after a rout in the election. and look at those numbers on reform zero mps, zero mps for 12% of the vote. that's third biggest party in the election. lib dems. unbelievably, 10% of the polls. and yet 59 or 39 mps, depending on tactical voting , that will on tactical voting, that will fuel the anger that nigel farage has felt since 2015, when he when he got millions of votes and was left with one mp, only two mps and the snp, in contrast, got dozens of mps with fewer votes. he won't forget that. and here's a case in point. for some degree of political reform for minor parties, i think it's really worth just repeating that point, that this poll would have reform on 12% of the vote with no seats, correct, no seats , and is seats, correct, no seats, and is just a poll where rishi sunak in your studio now? in my place, he'd be saying to you, the only poll that matters is the 4th of july. but this matters because

it's a very detailed 10,000 strong poll and an attempt to forecast the result of the election, the first one of the campaign, a lot of work to do for the tory party and all is not lost. but labour is sitting pretty. >> absolutely. look, christopher, thank you very, very much. as ever, not just for this, but for all the work you've been doing for us so far here @gbnews in this election campaign. you've got a long way to go. so does the election. all right. well, look, i will whizz us on over now to my wonderful panel this evening. i am joined to dissect these results by harriet sergeant, john sergeant and joanna joana jarjue. harriet, i will start with you. absolutely astonishing numbers here. i'm hoping we can just show these graphs again at some point. labour on 493. the sorry 493 seats. even the tories on 72 seats, the lib dems 39. reform on zero seats despite potentially getting 12% of the vote. what does rishi sunak do about this now? harriet >> well, my view is that 72 of seats is too much. i want the conservatives absolutely decimated. i want like ten seats

at the moment. i want the kind of catastrophe that overcame the conservative party in canada in 1993 when, out of 167 seats, they were left with just two. because from that, i think is the only chance we have for democracy of having a kind of reasonable right of centre party emerge and offer real choice to the voters, which at the moment they're not getting. >> look, john, what does rishi sunak do now? does he have to just be more radical? does he have to start announcing all sorts of things? he's scrapping inheritance tax, all of that. how does he come back from this? if these polls are correct? >> well, it's extremely difficult. and one of the main problems is that everyone on on that side, the optimists were hoping that the polls might narrow, but at least he would get some momentum for making the bold step forward. but what we now know, and this is quite definitive, i think, is the bold step forward of the early

election has not worked and it for it to work, you need, first of all for to make sure the momentum is there, which it's not. the other problem which is peculiar to this election is that although reform won't get any more seats, their vote, according to the running polls, is actually slightly up. now only slightly up. but what it means is the key argument that the conservative leadership had, which was don't bother to vote reform because you'll only let in labour. now what this poll does and it says it in the clearest possible terms to people who are reform supporters, is stay with reform . supporters, is stay with reform. and the poll experts who you've just been talking about have been saying how there's little chance, there's less chance than expected of them to vote tactically. the other point is, under our system, it does help a partner party enormously if they have regional powerhouses, regional areas where they're

doing well. and that's why the lib dems, although they're polling less than reform, are going to do better in this poll. so you see the whole ghastly picture for the conservatives. it's more ghastly than they could have hoped. >> i'll reiterate again, this poll is the first mega poll of the general election. so far, 493 seats for labour. it would be a larger labour victory than tony blair's landslide in 1997. it will be the largest win by any party in modern parliamentary history, except for 1931. 18 members of that current conservative cabinet would go , and some prominent would go, and some prominent members outside it as well. the likes of sir jacob members outside it as well. the likes of sirjacob rees—mogg, likes of sir jacob rees—mogg, joanna. the only hope for rishi sunak now is surely some kind of labour implosion, isn't it? >> yeah, and i mean the chances of that clearly. i mean, i know that labour have gone through that labour have gone through that thing this week, but nowhere near anything that the conservatives have gone through kind of consistently. and i think that that's the problem with the conservatives even though they've called this election, it's almost as if they're just addicted to

attracting scandal or things going wrong. and i think that even if it's something that it isn't specifically the conservatives fault, just people looking around, reading the newspapers as things that actually naturally annoy people and show them the position that the country is in, whether it's to do with south west water saying boil your water, whether it's to do with other scandals, i think people equate that with the whole idea that the country is broken and change needs to come. so i think that obviously is always going to help kind of encourage people to vote against. >> and let me just leave these percentages on the screen for one second. so this is important. all right. so we've had the number of seats that will be predicted under this poll. i've told those to you a few times but this will be the percentage the predicted percentage the predicted percentage of that vote. labour on 46. the tories down on 19. now this is another interesting dimension . the lib dems10% dimension. the lib dems10% could get as many as 39 or with tactical voting 59 seats reform 12% of the vote with or without tactical voting are under this poll predicted to get zero seats

that will lend a huge amount of weight to people who do want some kind of electoral reform in this country. i will caveat the results of this poll, as has been done a couple of times so far by saying this was concluded on may the 27th. we are a few days on from that now, but let's be honest with you, it would have to take an absolutely monumental shift for things to have changed in that time frame. so look , we'll be returning to so look, we'll be returning to this a little bit later on, but still to come after that exclusive bombshell gb news poll predicted the total wipe—out pretty much of the tories at the election, with a whopping 18 tory ministers set to lose their seats. cam rishi sunak possibly turn that ship around . turn that ship around. >> your support. this is the election that we're going to win i >> -- >> well, i 5mm >> well, i will get conservative party candidate tobias ellwood reaction to that shocking new poll when he joins me. and that's next

change. welcome back to patrick christys tonight. coming up after that bombshell exclusive gb news poll predicts wipe—out essentially for the tories on july the 4th, i will be joined by conservative party candidates tobias ellwood . party candidates tobias ellwood. but first, would reform uk's migrant tax be bad for britain? it's time now for our head to head. so yesterday, reform uk leader richard tice set out his

party's bold new immigration policy with plans to tax businesses that employ foreign workers . workers. >> the british economy, our great economy. it has a deadly, deadly addiction . ian. that's deadly addiction. ian. that's the harsh truth. it's the drug of cheap overseas labour. and the cure is an employer immigration tax . so what we need immigration tax. so what we need to do is we need to incentivise business to say, actually, if you want to employ people from overseas , that's fine, but overseas, that's fine, but you've got to pay a price for it. >> but the critics were quick to point out the flaws in reform's policy, with fears that some businesses could just go bust if they are forced to pay this tax. and there's been warnings, too, that businesses could miss out on highly skilled foreign workers because they would be too expensive to hire. so tonight i am asking, would reform uk's migration tax be bad for britain? let me know your

thoughts. head to gbnews.com/yoursay tweet me @gbnews and make sure you go and vote in our poll as well. but yes, okay, i am joined this evening on the show by reform's ben habib , the deputy leader of ben habib, the deputy leader of reform, and geoff birch as well business guru and author. ben, i'm going to come to you first. can can you try to sell this policy, please? because it does seem i don't know, i can see some holes in it. so just try and sell it. please >> okay. well there are 2.9 million foreign workers in the united kingdom at the moment working on, you know , visas, working on, you know, visas, working on, you know, visas, work permits. and that is roughly 10% of the british workforce. and if we were to levy an extra 6% on employers, national insurance, that would earn assuming employers didn't change their behaviour, £4 billion per annum for the exchequer, which over five years would equate to the 20 billion

that richard was talking about. but the point about the policy is not to earn 20 billion for the exchequer. what? it's what it's there to do, which taxes and regulations are used by government habitually to do is to change behaviour , to give to change behaviour, to give business an incentive, not to recruit from abroad, but to wean themselves off cheap imported labour and use domestic labour. and we've got 6 million people. patrick, on universal credit at the moment. that's 20% of our workforce is surviving to a greater or lesser extent on benefits. all right . and what we benefits. all right. and what we want to do is get business to employ those people . employ those people. >> i'll come back to you. i will come back to you. look, jeff, you've heard what ben has had to say about it there. do you think that will work? is it a good idea? >> well, it's a great idea, but no, it won't work. >> but i mean, throughout history, protectionist taxes have been tried and they've always ended in catastrophe.

>> you know, from the from from the depression of the 1930s, which was caused by protectionism , every time it's protectionism, every time it's tried , you get, you get this tried, you get, you get this same result. i mean, the problem is that if you prevent something of quality, whether it's a product or a person, for entering an economy, then what happens is the economy starts to produce shoddy replicas . i know produce shoddy replicas. i know this sounds, but but i mean, russia tried it and anybody who's ever driven a lada or a moskvitch knows what the result of that is. and of course, the other problem is that it hits different industries in a different industries in a different way. i mean, the service industry stuck here, but manufacturing isn't. and you can either bring people into where stuff is made or if it gets too difficult , you can move making difficult, you can move making stuff to the place where the

people are. so we could be exporting jobs rather than importing people. >> all right, ben, i do put it to you that, not all foreign labouris to you that, not all foreign labour is cheap and unnecessary. sometimes they are just the best people for the job. and, you know, you would you would still be taxed . you would still be be taxed. you would still be taxing businesses, you know, if theyif taxing businesses, you know, if they if they decide to employ those people. >> well, can i just say two things? the first is if they're very highly skilled people, the extra 6, frankly, doesn't touch the sides of the problems of a business. it wouldn't even present a problem to a business if they're highly skilled and they're earning, you know, seven figures or six figures or whatever it is, it's not an issue that won't even impact that. but what we've seen, patrick, is, you know, is mass immigration into the united kingdom. it used to be tens of thousands. in the 90s. it became 300,000 under david cameron. and now the net immigration figure is 750,000. the growth figure is

1.4 million. you cannot get 1.4 million people into the united kingdom and tell me that they are all, all highly skilled, contributing to our economy. absolutely not. and we know this because the minimum wage for a working visa was set at £26,000 per annum by the conservative government. that's 25% below the median wage in the uk , which is median wage in the uk, which is already been depressed and people aren't able to earn a decent wage for a decent day's work in the uk. decent wage for a decent day's work in the uk . we have to allow work in the uk. we have to allow the uk domestic worker to come back into the workforce and the idea . all right, ben, one more idea. all right, ben, one more thing, patrick. the british worker cannot be compared to a russian lada or a czech lada or whatever it's made. >> we're gonna have to park it there, my good man. all right, jeff, look, when you do look at certain businesses and, you

know, i don't want to get sued by anyone here, but, you know, just taking some anecdotal examples. if you walk into a pret a manger or a tesco or places like that, and you think you know why are you employing everyone in there who is, it seems is non—british, okay, why is there such a push for that? is there not some kind of need or even duty to the people of the country that you're actually living in, to try to give them first dibs on something? >> well , absolutely. to touch >> well, absolutely. to touch a little piece of controversy here, just to just to really add some spice to it before brexit, of course , the majority of these of course, the majority of these unskilled people came in. they were very young. they made a few quid and then they cleared off, now we've got jolly old brexit. we've got twice as many people coming in who intend to stay here forever, which is a is a problem . and here forever, which is a is a problem .and i here forever, which is a is a problem . and i work with these problem. and i work with these supermarkets. i work with fruit growers, i work with garden centres . they would be so

centres. they would be so delightful. delighted if uk people applied for the jobs , people applied for the jobs, they're not applying for the jobs. and when you say you bump into these people in sandwich bars and supermarket markets, i think if you asked them, they're probably second and third generation. they are not people who've sort of clambered out of rubber boats or something. they are people. >> there's a world of difference between talking about people who've arrived across the engush who've arrived across the english channel and the people that are very often you do see, and you know it to be true. the people that you do see working in a lot of service jobs. i'm not saying they shouldn't be here. i'm just asking the question. the point of this discussion as to whether or not british workers should be should be prioritised, that look both of you, thank you very much. we could we could have spoken about this all evening. and there's loads to go up. but we'll have to do it again some time. thank you. >> speak about it all evening. >> speak about it all evening. >> we've got we've got to we've got to go. but i'm sorry. it's benabib. there is the deputy leader of reform uk and business

guru jeff birch. right. look who do you agree with. because i certainly don't agree with each other. it would reform uk's migrant tax be bad for britain. 23% of you think that it will be bad. 77% of you say it wouldn't. so there we go. coming up. he's made history as the first former serving us president to be convicted of a crime. but donald trump certainly won't go down without a fight. >> we're going to be appealing this sky, we're going to be appealing it on many different things . things. >> okay, so with the very real prospect that trump could be the first us president to serve from a jail cell should the uk work with a convicted criminal? i am joined by the former aide to ronald reagan. it's mary jo jacobi . but next, an exclusive jacobi. but next, an exclusive gb news poll has revealed a predicted mass wipe—out for the tories. on july the 4th, rishi sunak doesn't seem to bother though. >> your support. this is the election that we're going to win. >> is it too late for him? is it too late to turn things around? i am joined by conservative party candidate tobias and if you are just joining us, i

next. welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now, as i revealed earlier , an exclusive poll for earlier, an exclusive poll for gb news and the daily mail has the tories on track for essentially an election. wipe—out on the 4th of july. the exclusive figures indicate substantial labour landslide, with sir keir starmer winning 493 seats. the tories down on 72.the 493 seats. the tories down on 72. the lib dems on 39. the snp

on 22 as well. that forecast labour victory will be larger than tony blair's landslide in 97, and only those 72 seats for the tories would be their worst result since at least 1900. apparently there is also the percentages of voting intention as well, which has the tories on 19. labour on 46, the lib dems on 10, but potentially with 39 seats, reform on 12, with potentially no seats. by the way, the greens are on eight as well. the snp on three. let's cross over now to conservative candidate tobias ellwood to get his hot take on this tobias. that must make for grim reading. i mean you know, what do you do about that? how do you turn that around. >> well interesting. >> well interesting. >> good evening. >> good evening. >> it's interesting you didn't mention the number of people yet to make their mind up. >> they don't knows. and a big observation about this election is that there's a substantial amount of the british electorate still waiting to see. no doubt about it. it's been a turbulent time in british politics, both

nationally or internationally and politically as well. but we have moved into much calmer waters. we're back showing illustrating fiscal responsibility under rishi sunak , but we've still got to regain that trust with the british people . and it's that 20% of the people. and it's that 20% of the electorate that have yet to make their minds up, that are not included in your polls, that can actually things, see things tighten completely, go back in time as well. do you look at some of the polling that was taking place prior to tony blair winning in 1997, and they reflected similar polling results? as you're now reading out this evening . so i think out this evening. so i think there's all to play for. we've seen the good thing about general election campaigns is that it exposes light. it exposes, a bit of scrutiny on what labour actually stands for. and that's. yeah i mean, gives the electorate a better judgement as to what to do. >> 18 cabinet members would lose their seats under this oliver dowden, james cleverly grant

shapps penny mordaunt , kemi shapps penny mordaunt, kemi badenoch. i mean, these are big hitters. esther mcvey was rishi sunak wrong to call this election . election. >> well, again, you're trying to justify the polling as if that is the result. we're not there yet. you know, the election is on the 4th of july, not today. so you know, you can read out your list of grandees, big names , the beasts that will fall. let's wait to see what actually happens.isnt let's wait to see what actually happens. isn't a lot of electioneering to take place. and like i said , there's 20% of and like i said, there's 20% of the electorate, a fifth of the voters. yet to make up their minds. so they're going to listen very carefully to the arguments on both sides. it will come down as so often about who are going to be the best custodians of our economy . this custodians of our economy. this is what clinton said. it's the economy, stupid. who's going to take britain forward, particularly in these ever turbulent times ? that's the turbulent times? that's the question that people answer on the 4th of july, not today. >> okay, well , hey, something >> okay, well, hey, something that no doubt you will feel a bit more comfortable talking aboutis bit more comfortable talking about is the government has

announced plans to increase uk defence spending to 2.5% of national income by 2030. all right. do you think this is this is this is the result of the poll that was conducted within this poll. right. by the way. so do you think this is too much, too little or about right. too little 23% about right 25% too much 15. don't know 35. so they don't know us. have it again there. tobias, to emphasise your point, to be fair, but about right is the second biggest is 25. so it appears then that maybe the conservatives are doing something right there , doing something right there, well it's not just i think the conservatives, it's the whole of europe is recognising that, as you and i in fact, have discussed on many occasions, our world's entered a new era of insecurity, and we've got to wake up to that . we've got to wake up to that. we've got to start to stand up and defend what we believe in, because there are, alliances forming , there are, alliances forming, authoritarian states, rearming, regrouping that are challenging our global order. and it is britain that does normally step up to the plate. perhaps when

others hesitate, what we're seeing in ukraine is very, very worrying indeed. ukraine is now having to defend rather than attack russia is on the forefront. outgunning ukraine 5 to 1, and our call to rekindle some form of national service is a reflection that the world is getting more dangerous, not less. and i think that's actually reflective ever more so actually reflective ever more so a sign that maybe this national service thing is actually with one eye on the fact that we might have a world war ii. well, the fact that i then raised this, i took my defence committee to finland and to sweden, to other places where they have a whole of society approach to defending their country . you can't keep country. you can't keep a standing army, a large standing army , at high readiness for any army, at high readiness for any length of time. it's too costly. therefore, we need to be prepared to upscale at short nofice prepared to upscale at short notice when the threat picture changes. notice when the threat picture changes . that's what national changes. that's what national service is all about. now. it doesn't have to be necessarily be with the military. it can be with other aspects of our

services. nonetheless, it's us preparing for an ever changing, ever more contested world, more polarised world. look what's happening in america. they're retreating from the global stage. what's happening in europe is that security situation is getting worse, and our security and our economy are symbiotic, symbiotically entwined . if one goes bad, so entwined. if one goes bad, so does the other. >> okay, now look , it was only >> okay, now look, it was only on monday that long time lbc presenter iain dale announced his decision to quit the radio station and instead enter politics. >> now, this isn't a moment i saw coming until just a few days ago, but i need to let you know that this will be my last show on lbc for the foreseeable future. you know how much politics means to me , and if politics means to me, and if you've listened for any length of time, you know, i've always had two ambitions in life. one was to be a radio presenter and the other was to be an mp. but now i'm putting my hat in the ring again to be a candidate at the general election . the general election. >> well then four days later, he's abandoned his bid to become

a tory mp after a clip emerged of him criticising tunbridge wells, which was the constituency hope to run in. >> i've never liked the place, still don't and would would happily live somewhere else . happily live somewhere else. >> and then he appeared on lbc with nick ferrari to announce his swift exit. >> there's a context to it , but >> there's a context to it, but nobody's interested in context or nuance in these situations. you just have that little clip and that would be on every single lib dem leaflet that was put out in the election campaign. but i decided on wednesday , look, tobias, it does wednesday, look, tobias, it does make the tory selection process look a little bit ropey, to say the least. >> isn't it ? >> isn't it? >> isn't it? >> no, not at all. i just think it's actually a reflection of the state of politics today. you know, we want good people to step forward into politics. and ian dale is a good person and he said something wrong. absolutely right. and he was caught out for it . he's put right. and he was caught out for it. he's put his hand up. but you know, we talk about britain making the big decisions, getting our economy into the right place . when we talk about

right place. when we talk about britain moving in the right place that we're talking about government, and if we're talking about government, we're talking about government, we're talking about parliament, if we're talking about parliament, we're talking about parliament, we're talking about parliament, we're talking about parliamentarians. if we're talking about parliamentarians, we're talking about good british people stepping forward into the limelight, wanting to stand as candidates. and if the more we put people off, the more we over scrutinise, the more we criticise those who step forward into public service. then we will not get the great and the good to enter politics and that will be to the, i think, to the demise of britain being able to play demise of britain being able to play its role on the international stage and make wise domestic decisions. i have to say, when i came into politics in 2005, compared with today, it is very different indeed. it's very brutal. it's very hostile, very, very aggressive indeed. i'm not surprised so many people are put off to coming into politics. and as i say, that's to the detriment of britain making good decisions. all right. >> look, tobias, thank you very much for your time this evening. that's tobias ellwood there live from bournemouth. all right. now

coming up after his deputy leader angela rayner and scottish labour leader anas sarwar both broke ranks, starmer caved in to demands to let diane abbott stand as a labour candidate. >> she's free to go forward as a labour candidate . the whip is labour candidate. the whip is back with her. it's been restored . restored. >> well, is this not just another u—turn? would he be at the mercy of the hard left? but next he was found guilty on all 34 charges in his stormy daniels hush money trial. but donald trump is not going down without a fight. >> we're going to be appealing this scam. we're going to be appealing it on many different things. >> will the uk work with a convicted criminal or whether you think it's right or not in the shape of donald trump, if he is elected as president? former aide to ronald reagan, mary joe jacoby joins me

next. welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now, donald trump has said that he will appeal his

criminal conviction after being found guilty of all 34 charges for falsifying business records in the stormy daniels hush money trial. >> we're going to be appealing this scam. we're going to be appealing it on many different things. he wouldn't allow us to have witnesses. he wouldn't allow us to talk. he wouldn't allow us to talk. he wouldn't allow us to do anything. the judge was a tyrant . judge was a tyrant. >> yes. well, he's made history as the first former or current us president to have a criminal conviction. but should the uk be working with a convicted criminal? let's go live to washington to speak to mary joe jacoby, former aide to ronald reagan . look, thank you very reagan. look, thank you very much. but first things first. i actually, as i understand it, i do it does appear to me that he's got decent grounds for a legal challenge to this i evening, patrick, and thank you for having me on and yes , he for having me on and yes, he does have grounds, it would appean >> and his attorneys certainly think he has grounds, but i think he has grounds, but i think regard of how those appeals go, and it'll be after the election , before the appeals

the election, before the appeals are likely to be heard. he will be referred to as the twice impeached convicted felon , impeached convicted felon, former president donald trump. and there's your sound bite that you will hear a million times between now and november 5th. >> okay, so let's knock it on and make it make it all about us brits here, if that's okay. i mean, sure, should we really be engaging with a guy like that if he does become president again? i mean, america's our greatest ally. obviously we should be from that perspective. but you've just rattled off a couple of reasons why maybe we shouldn't. i got to tell you, if he's the president, come january 20th, 2025, i don't think the uk or any other country has choice. >> if you want to engage with the biggest economy in the world. with what? whatever the president might be says we are. i am the leader of the free world. then you will engage with donald trump or you'll engage with joe biden, but quite possibly you could be engaging with bobby kennedy jr. so there's your options.

>> yeah. okay. so you seriously think that bobby kennedy jr is a potential to actually win the presidency , dear, you know, you presidency, dear, you know, you never know american politics has certainly changed since i was in it. and he's getting on a number of ballots. there's a chance he'll be on the debate stage with trump and biden in june if cnn lets him, and if he gets enough signatures . so we'll have enough signatures. so we'll have to see. but, you know, america is a deeply divided country between half of the country that thinks that the rule of law was usurped and half think it was upheld. and it will take quite something to bring those two halves together. >> well, i mean, the facts are that in some polls, in some polls, this race result has seen trump bounce up about four between 4 to 6 points. there's also been millions and millions and millions of dollars raised to his campaign , point six to be to his campaign, point six to be exact, 34.6 and six hours. yeah.

i mean , people think it's i mean, people think it's rigged, don't they? >> a lot of people think it's rigged, a lot of people think that yesterday was a magical day. i heard a lawyer claim a magical day in which the rule of law was upheld and the country should be proud. it was an historic day, and donald trump set out to make history when he came down that escalator , many came down that escalator, many years ago. and he seems to keep finding new and different ways to do so. >> well, look, mary, thank you very, very much. as mary jo jacobi there, who's live from washington. she was a former aide to ronald reagan. as many gb news viewers and listeners will know, i was here until 1:00 in the morning last night with my wonderful team, just picking through the absolutely historic day. and it really does just depend who you talk to. this is either one of the greatest stitch ups in modern history, or it is justice served and they've got their man. but either way, there is still in fact actually to say facts. there is now a better chance, according to the polls, that president trump will be in power come the next

election. coming up, sir keir starmer was in scotland launching labour's climate policy, but you'll never guess how he got there. >> there are some reports this morning suggesting that you flew here on a private jet. is that true? >> well, there we go. that's a gaffe . the labour's plan to ban gaffe. the labour's plan to ban fossil fuels kick started with him getting on a gas guzzling jet. and there's the diane abbott issue as well. stay tuned for that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello. very good evening to you. here's your latest gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. there will be a bit of rain around at times this weekend and also some cloud, but for many a decent amount of fine dry and sunny weather because of an area of high pressure that's building in from the west. any rain that we saw today across the southeast that's now clearing away. so a dry picture here. however, we are going to see some cloud pushing its way in from the east across eastern

parts of england. as we go through the night further north, some spots of rain across parts of scotland, perhaps northern ireland. two, but most places staying dry. some clear skies, especially towards the west, under which temperatures will just about dip into single figures, perhaps a little bit lower than that across parts of scotland. so a chilly start here for some. otherwise, as we go through saturday morning and it is going to be quite cloudy across parts of the southeast, and we do need to watch out for and we do need to watch out for a few showers. and some of these could turn heavy as we go into the afternoon, much sunnier further west though some cloud building as we go through the day. a few spots of rain, then for parts of northern ireland, perhaps northern england, southern scotland where the clouds are thick enough. but for many it is going to be a dry picture and there will be some sunshine for some. not all of us. some of us will be stuck under a bit of cloud, particularly across parts of northern england, the far south of scotland. here the cloud is likely to linger through a big chunk of the day and we could see a few showers developing as well, even elsewhere, 1 or 2 showers are possible, but any that do develop will be pretty light and short lived, and most

of us will avoid them. there will be a decent amount of sunshine for most of us. however and with lighter winds than today, it should feel pleasant enough. temperatures generally in the high teens or low 20s. perhaps some mist and fog patches first thing on sunday morning , and then we are going morning, and then we are going to see some cloud and some drizzly rain pushing its way in from the northwest. some of that rain could turn a little bit heavier as we go into the afternoon. however, towards the south, across many central southern parts, it's going to be largely sunny and feeling pretty warm with that sunshine to some more changeable weather to come next week. enjoy your weekend! >> looks like things are heating up! boxt boilers sponsors of weather on

gb news. >> it's 10 pm. i'm patrick christys tonight . christys tonight. >> there are some reports this morning suggesting that you flew here on a private jet. is that true? >> keir starmer takes a private

jet to announce a climate policy. >> she's free to go forward as a labour candidate. the whip is back with her. it's been restored and a u—turns on diane abbott. >> meanwhile. >> meanwhile. >> now, this isn't a moment i saw coming until just a few days ago, but i need to let you know that this will be my last show on lbc for the foreseeable future. >> well, that's how it started. >> well, that's how it started. >> i decided on wednesday evening , about 530, that i would evening, about 530, that i would ask them not to put my name on the short list. >> well, that didn't last long, did it ? the >> well, that didn't last long, did it? the tories are in turmoil over their candidates. plus our exclusive poll reveals that the conservatives could face an extinction level event at that election . and. at that election. and. anti—islam activists stabbed in a shocking attack. i will have all of the front pages with the wonderful columnist harriet sargeant. no relation to

political hack john sargeant and apprentice finalist and, also entrepreneur. joana jarjue. oh, yes. and what happens next . yes. and what happens next. here? get ready britain, here we go . go. this is the far left tail wagging the labour dog. next. >> well, our top story tonight from the gb newsroom is that lord david cameron, the foreign secretary, says hamas , the secretary, says hamas, the terror group, must accept the new ceasefire deal outlined by president joe biden earlier this evening from the white house. the us brokered proposal would begin with a six week ceasefire. the return of some israeli

hostages, the withdrawal of israeli troops from populated areas of gaza, and a big increase in aid for palestinians. while hamas has reacted to this new three phase roadmap, saying it is positive . roadmap, saying it is positive. but a spokesperson for the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu , says the war will not netanyahu, says the war will not end until israel's goals are achieved. joe biden, though, has said it's time for the war to end. >> it's time to begin this new stage for the hostages to come home, for israel to be for secure, the suffering to stop. it's time for this war to end . it's time for this war to end. for the day after, to begin , for the day after, to begin, president joe biden . president joe biden. >> well, donald trump says he's going to appeal his criminal conviction for falsifying business records, describing it as a scam verdict in a speech at trump tower earlier on this afternoon, he said there was no hush money. it was a normal

nondisclosure agreement, properly categorised as a legal expense. >> i'm doing something for this country and i'm doing something for our constitution . it's very for our constitution. it's very important far beyond me and this can't be allowed to happen to other presidents. it should never be allowed to happen in the future. but this is far beyond me. this is bigger than trump. this is bigger than me. this is bigger than my presidency . presidency. >> well, here in the uk, sir keir starmer has given the green light for diane abbott to stand as a labour candidate in the general election in july. it's after the veteran mp was suspended over comments she made suggesting jewish, irish and traveller people experience prejudice but not racism . i'm prejudice but not racism. i'm for days the labour leader had declined to confirm whether miss abbott would be defending her seat on the 4th of july. but this afternoon sir keir gave her the green light. >> she's been a trailblazer, she has carved a path for other people to come into politics and pubuc people to come into politics and

public life. the whip has obviously been restored to her now and she is free to go forward as a labour candidate. >> let's just tell you about a development in france this evening. we understand the authorities there have foiled a plan to attack the olympics this summer. a man, apparently from chechnya has been arrested on suspicion of planning to target football stadia in the name of islamic state. in a statement , islamic state. in a statement, anti—terrorism prosecutors say the 18 year old wanted to attack spectators. security forces and die as a martyr. well, with less than two months to go before the paris games, france remains on its highest level of security alert. more detail on that, of course, when we get it. for the latest stories, you can always sign up to gb news alerts as well. scan that qr code on your screen or go to gb news. common alerts . alerts. >> well, it's been a busy week,

hasn't it? the labour party is potentially at serious risk of ripping itself apart. there is a big mess over diane abbott. she was in then she was out. now she is in again. who knows? >> i'm not going to allow myself to be intimidated right now by the bully boy . the bully boy. >> brighton by forces beyond all of our control, starmer initially tried to distance himself from all this earlier in the week. >> no, i've said repeatedly over the last two years as we've selected our candidates , that selected our candidates, that i want the highest quality candidates. that's been the position for a very long time. the situation in relation to diane abbott is that no decision has been taken to bar her and, you know, we have to remember that she was a trailblazer as an mp. she overcame incredible challenges to achieve what she's

achieved in her political career. >> okay. so he was kind of washing his hands of it there really. but then deputy leader angela rayner threw him under the bus. >> i don't think there's any reason why diane couldn't stand as a labour mp. look, she's gone through a process and that's right. and i wasn't involved in that process because we have a complaints procedure and there was a concern raised. she apologised . as far as i've seen, apologised. as far as i've seen, that that has been dealt with. >> and today scottish labour leader anas sarwar joined in. >> look, i agree with angela and i would also add that the comments that or the article that diane abbott wrote, which were not acceptable, which led to a disciplinary investigation and investigation which now has concluded and she's had the whip restored, something she apologised for. >> so after all that, keir starmer today relented to the pressure . pressure. >> she's free to go forward as a labour candidate. the whip is back with her. it's been restored . and of course, you

restored. and of course, you know she was a trailblazer for many, many years and has cleared the path for others to come into politics so formally matter for the nec . but i've not expressed the nec. but i've not expressed a view up until now. she's free to go forward as a labour candidate . but the apparent candidate. but the apparent chaos doesn't end with diane abbott. on wednesday, left wing labour party member faiza shaheen turned the waterworks on on newsnight after she was blocked from standing in chingford and woodford green. >> like, how am i not allowed to talk about my experiences of islamophobia and the double standards that i've seen and that we see with diane abbott, for instance ? i honestly, i'm for instance? i honestly, i'm just so shocked right now to be treated this badly after being such an active member of the party. >> well, now she said that sir keir starmers labour party has a problem with black and brown people and she's going to take them to court. remember this guy 7 them to court. remember this guy ? because the conservative party

have a aim to break up our country. >> they aim to destroy our nhs and we will say no, we will. >> okay. he's called lloyd russell—moyle. he was the labour mp in brighton, wentworth, but he's been effectively booted out as well over a historic allegation which he denies. can you guess who labour were thinking of standing there. >> and i've also got boy mode and girl mode and i do drama dramatic films in boy mode. and then i'm touring in girl mode and doing stand up. and i campaigned for politics in girl mode. >> i just eddie izzard , that was >> i just eddie izzard, that was the rumour. but now it turns out that keir starmer's own ex adviser, chris ward, appears to have got the gig. which brings us on to the other aspect of the labour turmoil, doesn't it? because starmer stands accused of purging the left and filling the seats with cronies, or at least certainly trying to anyway, like georgia gould, who is the leader of camden council, sir keir starmer's own council, journalist paul waugh , who will journalist paul waugh, who will have a bang on it in rochdale. the other issue for sir keir is

that he's trying to say that he's now centre left, but how could he let this happen ? could he let this happen? natalie elphicke there yes, was regarded as being on the right of the tory party. she was welcomed in with open arms. it's all getting a bit messy for laboun all getting a bit messy for labour, isn't it? but after rowing back on diane abbott, is this a sign of things to come? well, the hard left be the tail wagging the labour dog. look at the thoughts of my panel this evening. i've got journalist and author harriet sargeant, former bbc and itv chief political correspondent. it is john sergeant , an apprentice sergeant, an apprentice finalist, activist and entrepreneur. joanna jargi, an activist. you are now . you've activist. you are now. you've been a harriet. i'll start with you. do you think this is a sign that the hard left could be wagging the labour? the tail of that could be wagging the labour dog? >>i dog? >> i think it's a very interesting indication of what's going to come, because we've had keir starmer spent the last four years trying to turn the labour

party from the basket case. it was under corbyn into something that's going to win big time. as we've seen . and he's done this we've seen. and he's done this by blocking, stopping and all sorts of ways. anyone who has the two things of being very left wing and charismatic , and left wing and charismatic, and he's been very successful at this until now. and now, angela rayner has stood up and taken down abbott's side. he thought he was going to sideline diane abbott, angela rayner has said, well, she's cracked the whip and keir starmer is cowering in the corner . and the interesting corner. and the interesting thing is, though, he's managed to block everybody else. he can't do this to angela rayner because as deputy she is voted by the members so much as he would love to sideline her as he's done. he can't. and so we've now set up, i think we have just given what we are going to be seeing in the next four years. >> that's the fear. the

conservatives, john, are running today with the attack line that this is angela rayners labour party, not really keir starmer. she's the one calling the shots. that's what the tories are going at now offers. >> no. well they're right to do that. i mean it's you won't get the labour party to exist without there being a left and right. i mean, that is just so much in the dna of the labour party. you're not going to eradicate that, however hard you might be. it's a question of how strong are the left, how strong are the right, how strong are they? what what some people are calling the stormtroopers, you know, can they really make sure that when they get into power , that when they get into power, starmer is the absolutely sort of strong person and also wanting people with his interests and his talent. this always happens. it happens in the conservative party, too, when you realise that you're going to have so many new mps coming in, you say , well, in coming in, you say, well, in a moment, who and who are they? who are they going to be? and you say, oh, the little local parties will decide, oh no, they won't. come on now let's get some really talented people

because the first time in years labour can say to a really talented person, you know what? within a couple of years you could be in the cabinet, you could be in the cabinet, you could be in the cabinet, you could be in the cabinet. yeah. and people would believe it. for the first time. they'll believe it. so you've got squads of people who want to come in now join the join the fray. >> i can't help but wonder if we might be missing something really in this discussion so far. which is that what diane abbott wrote was deemed to be anti—semitic and racist. and then when you look at what someone like lee anderson copped it for the sadiq khan comments, i don't really think that labour think that lee anderson should be forgiven for anything. so is he kind of one rule for one and one rule for anyone else? they're turning a blind eye to racism here, i don't think the, turning a blind eye to racism, because if they were, then diane abbott wouldn't have been investigated in the first place and she wouldn't have been sidelined for as long as she was. i think the problem with this whole process was the fact that it seems like some of the

membership, that it's one rule for other people and another rule for diane abbott, because there's been other labour mps as well that have made, comments that are deemed to be anti—semitic. some of them haven't even had the whip removed, and some of them have had it removed and then given it back, given back to them. so i think that's the problem. to begin with. but i think for the labour party overall, it's a broad church and it should be a broad church and it should be a broad church. and actually angela rayner is part of more so the socialist side of the labour party. and that is good to have some balance in that sense. >> all right, harriet, we heard from miss shaheen there who was crying on newsnight , and she'd crying on newsnight, and she'd subsequently said that labour's got a problem with black and brown people. she's going to take the party to court over all of this. i mean, that really is a problem of the, you know, people who are very much to the left of the labour party now going around telling everyone and people on the left, don't forget how they will feel as though diane abbott was treated jeremy corbyn at his campaign launch the same day or the same time, actually literally the same time that diane abbott was on the steps outside hackney town hall. you know, giving it

large to everyone about she's not going anywhere. there is a movement there that will put pressure on starmer, isn't there? yes. >> i mean, i think keir starmer is looking at the opposition. there's not going to be the decimated tory party. his opposition , the problems he's opposition, the problems he's going to have is with his own left wing. they're the ones and we're going to see this over every single. i mean, can you imagine over if he tries to do anything on nhs reform, on military service or giving more money to the military on all these things? there's going to be uproar. >> that's also how it should be. for example , i don't agree with for example, i don't agree with anything that the erg come up with. for example, they've been really extreme. i'm a remainer. they're like hardline brexiteers , but i also don't think that it would be good. for example, for rishi sunak to throw people from the erg. i think that it's important to have that democracy and that debate within a party. >> i think there are also these things are complicated. i suspect we don't know the full story of diane abbott. she's quite clear that she wasn't sure whether she wanted wanted to stay in parliament. you know, is

it a personal matter ? is she is it a personal matter? is she is she perhaps ill? you know, we don't know any of these things. we don't know quite why we've had this awkward. oh, she's free to go forward. it's a very odd phrase, isn't it? yeah. and not free to stay as mp for hackney. if she wins the election. so i don't think we know the full story. okay. >> all right, well, look, there's loads more to come, including actually what is a fascinating policy announcement by labour today, which is this great british energy. well they're not announcing today. they're just double down on it today really. but when you actually have a look at the numbers on this, it is quite astonishing. and we are going to be we are going to be talking all about that. but yes, coming up as well. can you guess what happens next. okay. i'll bring you a little bit more of that and all of tomorrow's newspaper front pages hot off the press. but first, as i was talking about, keir starmer took a private jet to scotland today to

launch labour's flagship climate policy. yep, you heard that right . but policy. yep, you heard that right. but will policy. yep, you heard that right . but will his policy. yep, you heard that right. but will his plans to ban fossil fuels from the uk's electricity grid by 2030 actually make you poorer? in fact, there's more to it than this. does any of it add up? patrick christys is tonight

gb news? okay. hello. welcome back to

patrick christys tonight. now, labour has pledged to launch its great british energy plan in a bid to eradicate the use of fossil fuels by 2030. should we have a little look at what it is? >> i want to be clear is?— >> i want to be clear. is? >> i want to be clear . we're not >> i want to be clear. we're not turning off the taps for oil and gas , but the transition is gas, but the transition is coming . we can't stick our head coming. we can't stick our head in the sand. and as ed said , in the sand. and as ed said, it's renewables are cheaper. there's a massive prize here, lower bills, security. the next generation of jobs. so clean power is the best opportunity we've had in a generation . we've had in a generation. >> yeah, there's a lot to unpack there, but the snp certainly aren't happy with starmer. >> but i do put a cautionary word out that a lot of what i hear of labour's energy plans will result in significant loss of employment in the north east of employment in the north east of scotland, in the oil and gas sector, and i don't want to be part of that. >> and the press were quick to call out starmer for his eyebrow raising method of travel. there

are some reports this morning suggesting that you flew here on a private jet. >> is that true? >> is that true? >> yes, we did use a private jet because we needed to get very quickly to scotland . quickly to scotland. >> right. okay. well, but were labour quick supposed to tweet poking fun at rishi sunak's preference for a helicopter or a private jet? look at that. i mean , come on now. i'm joined by mean, come on now. i'm joined by climate campaigner ed gamble . climate campaigner ed gamble. look, i've got to start by saying a private jet to launch a climate policy is one of the most bonkers things i've seen . most bonkers things i've seen. >> i completely agree with you. and we don't always agree on everything, patrick, but on that one, we totally do. >> why on earth if you were going to launch something that is environmentally friendly and driving us towards net zero, would you get on a private jet and go there? i mean, really, couldn't he see what was coming? it does worry me about his judgement generally. >> oh really? well, okay, so you're extending that out. you think that that that that little mishap in itself? >> i mean, it's just so obvious. if he doesn't get how obvious that was, is he going to get it on everything else either? i

worry about that. >> it's difficult to, i suppose, argue that there's a climate emergency while simultaneously so i mean the line. so i spoke to a labour frontbencher earlier today who genuinely served this line up to me. he said, we had to use that because the tories have ruined public transport so we couldn't get train. i mean , we couldn't get train. i mean, so kind of almost lying about it as well, aren't they? i think, i mean, you know, i mean just absolutely ridiculous. >> and if it came down to it, i mean, after all, they could have dnven mean, after all, they could have driven up, somebody could have dnven driven up, somebody could have driven him. he could have worked in the back of the car or had a sleep, and it would all been fine. >> all right. now let's just have a bit of a chat about the actual content of what he was, what he was doing after he'd flown there. of course. so great british energy. we heard a bit about it there. now i've got some concerns about it. so offshore energies uk, which is the industry's body, has said that labour's plans could cost 42,000 jobs in the north sea and apparently £26 billion in economic value. and it is going to be funded largely through a windfall tax. but the big operators are already leaving the region. apparently shell, exxonmobil . so it doesn't really exxonmobil. so it doesn't really seem to me that this is actually

costed . costed. >> yeah. i mean, i think when we're looking at the costing of the whole thing, i mean, there was a report coming out about that 116 billion that was going to be spent on it, but in fact the conservatives anyway have an aim to get there in 2035. so there were going to be 104 billion spent by the conservatives as well. so the gapisnt conservatives as well. so the gap isn't that big in terms of between the two parties and what we're trying to achieve. i do always worry when we go on to these ideas of losing lots of jobs and all that sort of thing. i mean, we are talking about an industry that's winding down. it's winding down a bit because we're getting to net zero, but b because there's less and less oil and gas to extract anyway. so that has got to be transitioned. you know, we've got to bite the bullet and get on with it anyway. we're we're effectively like a company that's running a production line that's running a production line that's losing us money. you know, we've got less sales going out than our costs. and then we're trying to extend the life of that production line, knowing the longer we do that, the less chance we're going to have to keep the company alive. >> yeah, i get that. but they kind of promising people jobs on the never never, isn't it? it's saying the green revolution will lead to a load of jobs. okay. but those 42,000 people don't. they know what job they do now .

they know what job they do now. they know what job they do now. they don't know what job they're going to do in the future. >> yeah. okay. so there's a communication issue a strategy issue. and let's be honest, a plan issue. so what is the industrial plan. what's that overarching plan that's going to get you from one job to another . get you from one job to another. and that's what we aren't being given really by anybody in this coming general election. and i mean, labour are more guilty of it when they're talking about gb energy. they need to put it into context. if we can get ahead on net zero, if we can drive all those jobs and opportunity into this country, and gbbn is just part of it, we can get ahead and have all of that stuff happening here. we have to be investing in the new things in a big, big way. >> the question is, does the pubuc >> the question is, does the public need to invest in it? is it the taxpayers? so when i look at some of this now, the department for energy and net zero estimated that there will be £100 billion worth of private investment put towards the uk's energy transition by 2030. the national grid announced last week that it plans to invest £31 billion on the uk's transition . billion on the uk's transition. sse is investing 18 billion over

the next five years. scottish power as well announced plans to invest £12 billion, so that's private. why do we need a small state owned company at the taxpayers expense? >> well, whether it's a small state owned company or a large one, actually, to be honest with you, and whether that is the taxpayers expense, i mean, that 8.3 billion there, this is what they're saying, not necessarily what my policy would be. and the climate party would do it very differently. but i mean, in terms of what we're talking about, he's talking about 8.3 billion that he's going to get from windfall taxes. you know, on the fossil fuel companies. and then he's going to reinvest it. i do want to question that anyway, because under all these windfall taxes and all the taxes we do on fossil fuels, we regift it all back to them in tax rebates, which can go over 100% when they're drilling for oil in the north sea. so in actual fact, i am really unsure if any of that money coming from the fossil fuel companies could ever be reapplied in this way. i don't think it could be okay. >> i mean, labour say that they want to do away with some of those tax incentives. but again,

we are talking here about something that the finer details of it like this detail, which again is another important aspect to this , are they going aspect to this, are they going to be and i don't expect you to know the answer to this. my point is i don't think anybody does. right. are they going to be buying existing assets from private sector operators. so are we going to be paying for things that already exist okay. or are we going to be paying for labour to build things from scratch or co—invest in new projects? because only those last two things would actually add to our energy generation storage capacity. if we're just buying things that already exist and we just own things, but we still got the same level of everything, i completely agree with you. >> i think it should be coming from these last two. i actually think that's the direction. i think that's the direction. i think also it's the sectors it's going into. so we're talking about renewable energy, but we've only been talking really about wind in their discussions. but what about wave and tide. we've got massive potential in that which we have squandered. we're using something like nought point, nought, nought 1% of our tidal capacity at the moment. we should be putting seed money and big seed money into that to get it going. then

we wouldn't have to have these discussions about the lights going off and everything. when we switch to wind and solar, i mean, our tide capacity is 23gw. and as you and i sit here today, we're using about 28gw, right? probably around half of that a bit under is probably coming from renewables. and we're importing a whole load of it on interconnectors. if we had 20gw of tide out there, we'd be exporting. it would be an export industry . it exporting. it would be an export industry. it would be turning our trade deficit into a trade surplus. and britain would be making money. >> so look, from what you know of great british energy so far, which is what everyone knows, i daresay , possibly a bit more daresay, possibly a bit more than what everyone knows. this is your bag. you are into this stuff, you know. well, you know, how would you rate this out of ten, really? and not not just in terms of, oh, i know you want to go very far with the climate. that's exactly why i would expect. but just in terms of something, in terms of how it's thought through cost effectiveness, you know, communication, etc. >> good idea. generally absolutely. got to go ahead and do it right area. we've got to be investing in all of these new things and much heavier than this communication. appalling. i mean really delivered to the

british public in a terrible way. the optic as we talked about, was awful. and it's not communicated really in the way that says to people, look, we're going to make money out of this. it's not just about saving a bit on our bills, it's not just about energy security. we get in and do this in energy and we do it ten, 20 years before other countries. we're going to make money all the tech we're creating, we can export all of the energy. we can export when we get there. if we do it all properly, there's lots of upsides putting money back in the pocket that implies they don't quite know the answer to all those questions yet, i think, doesn't it? i think they are tippy toeing around like they are in a lot of issues and they're not going at it full hog. and when you're so far aheadin hog. and when you're so far ahead in those election polls, you should just be going for it. >> okay? all right. interesting to look at. thank you very much. great stuff that i said. gamble there. who is climate campaigner. right. so next what is happening in puerto rico. yes i'll tell you more about that very shortly. but i do have tomorrow's newspaper front pages. they are flying in thick

and fast , and my panel of and fast, and my panel of absolute newshounds waiting for you. and we yes, we will have more on our exclusive poll, which, if you're just joining us, i'll just show you it all again a little bit later on. it does predict tory armageddon on july the 4th. it will be their worst result since at least 1900, with 18 current members off as patrick christys tonight

gb news. welcome back to patrick christys. tonight. i have got tomorrow's newspaper front pages for you. let's do it. so i'm starting with the daily express at home test to turn the tide on prostate cancer. a pioneering at home test is set to turn the tide on prostate cancer, saving thousands of lives each year. apparently, it's a saliva check , apparently, it's a saliva check, and it searches for markers in a patient's dna and identifies those who are at the highest risk. so it's a good medical

breakthrough for us there. let's go to the daily mirror , i think. go to the daily mirror, i think. yeah. so deluded, deranged and dangerous felon trump rails at migrants in diatribe against justice. guilty donald trump turned his rage on migrants yesterday before a fiery tirade against an unfair trial. let's go to the daily mail. against an unfair trial. let's go to the daily mail . trump go to the daily mail. trump rages at biden's fascist state. former president blasio's successor after bombshell guilty verdict . but then successor after bombshell guilty verdict. but then biden's calls him reckless and dangerous. there is also a story there which we will go into, written by boris johnson, which says this is a mob style hit job and will make a trump victory more likely . let's go to the daily likely. let's go to the daily telegraph. johnson trump is a victim of a hit job. former prime minister says lawfare is backfiring and conviction will make re—election more likely . make re—election more likely. there's a picture of some of the royals there on the front as well. the king and queen watch their horse treasure apparently, and also labour still can't be trusted on defence as grant

shapps. they say that, he says that they would let us down on our nuclear deterrence, they also have a bit on the post office. they're signing a five year deal to keep the horizon software in place, apparently. so. wow. there we are. right. i am joined by my wonderful panel this evening, and i of course, have got columnist harriet sergeant. i've also got john sergeant. i've also got john sergeant and i've got political commentatorjoana sergeant and i've got political commentator joana jarjue. sergeant and i've got political commentatorjoana jarjue. now, commentator joana jarjue. now, look, we've had the countryside, swimming, gardening and now cricket joining the list of things that are racist. apparently one of the game's most high profile figures, azeem rafiq, criticised the sport for its boozy culture that he claims alienates muslim cricketers and fans and makes them feel excluded . and he was, of course, excluded. and he was, of course, the individual who took , a big the individual who took, a big inquiry out into yorkshire county cricket club. and there were a lot of people who were really, you know, hauled over the coals on that one. but another high profile figure, he's had a pop at the sport's lack of diversity now, which i think is massively rich coming

from this guy is the ex president of the mcc, steve stephen fry, who said the 237 year old club is full of beetroot coloured gentlemen and stinks of privilege and classism . really? okay, harry, i'll bnng . really? okay, harry, i'll bring you in on this. i mean, there's two things to go out there. i suppose there's the aspect that cricket's booze culture turns muslim people away from it. i would just politely suggest that as somebody who spent years and years and years playing club cricket, it didn't seem to me that there was a massive turn off for local muslim communities anyway. well, |, muslim communities anyway. well, i, i don't know. >> i mean, if they do feel excluded and they do feel there's something racist happening, then that should be definitely looked at, which i think it was last year. but this whole idea of drink, i mean, we are in a country that drinks, it's legal to drink, we drink . i it's legal to drink, we drink. i when people come to my house, a lot of people don't drink because i have muslim friends who don't drink. i have friends who don't drink. i have friends who don't drink because they were former alcoholics or for health reasons. but that doesn't stop anyone else drinking. i

mean, why they seem to enjoy themselves just as much with people who are drinking . i don't people who are drinking. i don't understand why they can't enjoy themselves after the match with some people drinking and some people not drinking. i mean, why everyone else has to be stopped drinking as one for certain obvious reasons, people would expect to have very limited sympathy for that chap. >> to be perfectly honest with you, just because you're not drinking doesn't mean that everybody else shouldn't drink, or you should, or they should change their behaviours for you. but but john, stephen fry, now you know this guy apparently. >> and he's we don't see each other every day but. >> well, no, i'm not surprised. i'm not surprised. i mean, he thinks, you know, everything's pompous and all of this stuff. wasn't he behind trying to change the garrick club as well? why does this guy get off? >> no, he just he just likes to be involved in things, and he doesn't seem to be as busy as he used to be in terms of films and production. >> bitchy comment or women have been. >> i'm trying to be factual and factual and calm about this. >> no, that the point ? i mean,

>> no, that the point? i mean, let's go back to cricket and drink. i mean, i can't imagine the two being separated. i mean, these are long, long games. what else are you going to do? i went to a test match last year and i thought, god, thank god we can get a drink. you know, because it just does go on and on and on.the it just does go on and on and on. the hours passed and you think, well, at least you know we can have a good drink. and that's what they do. >> you know what? what do you make of this idea now that we've got this old institution in cricket, the mcc, you know, they all wear the club tie and all of this stuff, but apparently it's basically too old, pale and stale and everyone's got a beetroot face. well i mean, in some sports obviously it is notorious that it is. >> you know, some minorities might feel like they're not included or not welcomed and people even talking. we were talking about before a story about, you know, walking and hiking and how inclusive that is and how open that is to minorities to feel like they're a part of it. but when it comes to the drinking thing, i completely agree with john and harriet. you know, we're in an environment, environment where

there's different sports. it's like saying that muslim people also can't participate in football. and we know there's a big drinking culture in football. i have muslim friends also that might come on a night out and not drink. i think the difference is if there is actually things that make people feel uncomfortable who don't drink, like if there's celebrations and, you know, spraying champagne in someone's face, who clearly their religion doesn't adhere to that, then thatis doesn't adhere to that, then that is a problem. but i think to say that other people make you feel uncomfortable for drinking, but he does have a point that potentially maybe the culture isn't that welcoming to other races. i get that. >> but then i suppose i suppose it does bring the bring it back to the idea about why should we change an existing culture in order to accommodate somebody, somebody else. >> i lived in japan for seven years, and i didn't. i joined years, and i didn't. ijoined the sort of japanese equivalent of cricket because i wanted to sample the japanese culture and be part of the community, but i didn't ever expect them to change everything for me. i mean, i was the only westerner. i didn't expect there to be a diverse group in the japanese,

and i didn't expect them to change their customs for me. >> so yeah, fair enough. >> so yeah, fair enough. >> i mean, it does seem, though. i mean, it was accepted by yorkshire cricket club. there had to be changes. i mean, let's go back to the beginning of it. it was quite clear that the cricket clubs were too white in terms of the people who were keen on sport, who were often muslims and felt there wasn't enough representation . now there enough representation. now there should be. and it was there were lots of leading figures , not lots of leading figures, not stephen fry, but others who just accepted that. >> i don't understand that because i cricket is and i don't know anything about cricket, but i always see that there's like pakistan cricket, like it's quite famous. and also then that also maybe that should show us that there's a problem. then if it's such a no. but if it's such a popular sport in these countries. but there isn't that much participation in the uk. >> no, but seriously, this is the thing there is, right? and there's loads of it. i mean, when anyone who's playing club cricket, the season is starting now, we'll be shouting at that television screen saying this. there are entire teams, there

are entire teams of people. and the other aspect of it is as well is cricket. cricket is so stats based, right? your bowling average, your batting average . average, your batting average. there comes a point where you cannot be denied. right. so and anyone i'm sorry but really good though i mean i agree with that. >> that's good. >> that's good. >> yeah. so once we're all agreed this is an amazing moment is really weird to me anyway, because cricket just doesn't seems a bit more highbrow , i seems a bit more highbrow, i guess that you wouldn't really see, like, people boozing like like football , obviously. like football, obviously. >> it's like all the hooligans, quote unquote. is it not? >> i think, i don't know. the clubhouse is still a phenomenal place. all right. anyway, here's some striking footage of three. okay. shifting to three poor american children who got caught up in somewhat of a flash. have a look at this. oh, so they're on a beach. and then the lightning hits all three of them. this incident happened on monday on a beach in puerto rico. one of the boys has

lost feeling in his feet for now. another is said to be in a critical condition. they are all expected to be fine though, which is why we have played that clip. but yeah, an astonishing thing. certainly not something that you see every day coming up is donald trump right to come out swinging after he was found guilty of a whopping 34 charges in his stormy daniels hush money trial? find out when i crown tonight's great britain and union jack carson. but before that, i will have more of tomorrow's front pages for you and again, if you are just joining us, this is where we will we will retell you the results of that bombshell poll that said, well , it's results of that bombshell poll that said, well, it's bad results of that bombshell poll that said, well , it's bad news that said, well, it's bad news for the conservatives. the first poll that goes seat by seat for this

yes. welcome back to patrick christys. tonight, i have got some more front pages for you. let's do it . so we go with the let's do it. so we go with the guardian's zelenskyy. russian troops are laughing at and hunting us. apparently it's an exclusive interview as well. on

the inside , ukrainian leader the inside, ukrainian leader says that us delaying use of western weapons on targets inside russia has cost lives , inside russia has cost lives, there. let's go to the i uk voters message to the tories. it's time for change. voters like sunak triple lock plus pledge. so lichen, i think i should say i think there might actually be a typo there on the front, but anyway, triple lock plus pledge to never tax state pension. anyway, let's go to the times. starmer i'll create wealth. labour leader puts economy at the heart of the pitch for power as he seeks to win the centre ground. there's also the sidebar there of israel offers hamas a three step peace deal offers hamas a three step peace deal. this is what's been backed by president joe biden. so there's a now a roadmap on the table for a peace deal. it remains to be seen, of course, doesn't say if anything happens with that. as you all know, i am joined by my wonderful panel throughout the course of this evening. but look now for some footage of yet another attack in europe. so here it is .

europe. so here it is. a bullet not so fast. yeah. so that was a man wielding a knife there. i don't know if we can maybe replay a bit of that footage as well, but there was a man wielding a knife, he attacked several people, including a police officer at an anti—islam event in the german city of mannheim earlier today. now, he was shot dead by police after he stabbed a well—known anti—islam campaigner under the bystanders at a political rally . bystanders at a political rally. the policeman was also stabbed in the neck. but there's a couple of things about this that i will say are bizarre, so i'll make it very clear the police, despite the context of this, are yet to say this is a terror attack. okay. which you can read into that what you will. it was a stabbing, a mass stabbing, against people who were there to

, campaign against the rise of islam , by a chap who is islam, by a chap who is described as an ethnic minority. but however, the police are yet to describe that as a terror attack. it does come, though, after the french authorities also said that they have foiled an islamic state plot to attack, the games . an islamic state plot to attack, the games. olympic games in paris. harry, we are we are living in dangerous times. but i look at that and i see some of the optics there of a police officer in germany kneeling on the back of a bloke who was trying to fight back a bit from the person who was doing the stabbing, who then gets stabbed in the neck himself. isn't that just europe in a microcosm? there really ? we should be going there really? we should be going after the other person. >> i mean, it's just it's very, very depressing. and, you know, you've got more and more of these attacks. and again, it's on on a politician when he's a politician. is this the activist? it's an activist . activist? it's an activist. yeah. yeah. it's not, you know, that you can't actually stand up and talk in public within a

small group of people without the danger and of being stabbed . yeah. >> being attacked. well, it's not normal, is it? >> it's not normal. and it's not right. and why shouldn't he stand up and say this? this is this is not an anti—muslim. this is an anti—islam, which is very different. he's an he's anti—islamist and he he has the right to. yeah. >> i mean, ironically , it may >> i mean, ironically, it may may well turn out that he has every right to be given what we've just seen there actually. but certainly what we're seeing the french authorities talking aboutin the french authorities talking about in paris as well, john, you know, again, here we have, you know, again, here we have, you know, again, here we have, you know, well done to the authorities for foiling it. in the case of paris . and i hope the case of paris. and i hope that remains the case. but, you know, as changing our way of life, we're having to consider things as a result of one radical ideology. >> well, it's certainly a fact of that. i think the worry, too, is that it becomes a kind of almost a grotesque way of saying it, a fashionable activity, you know, it's a copycat activity. what do i do with this? and i

think the other problem is, if you've got people who are seriously unbalanced, the idea of putting them in themselves into a position where they might be killed could . for so many be killed could. for so many people of this sort, i say so many . not that many overall, but many. not that many overall, but it could be an attractive option . that's what makes it so terrifying. it's people who want, in fact , to be shocked, want, in fact, to be shocked, who want to be killed, who want to be martyred . now that is to be martyred. now that is completely different. there was always an assumption . i mean, always an assumption. i mean, years ago, if you were a politician who would want to attack you knowing they would die in the attempt. and this was true of prime ministers and presidents and the whole idea of john f kennedy going to dallas and things. the idea that he would be safe, who would think of shooting him because they would be immediately killed. yeah. so the assumption from the security forces is that was the first assumption. now you feel, wait a moment. be careful because someone may come in who kind of wants to be killed. >> yeah, well that's it. that's actually an interesting point because, obviously when we look at situations like this, we

automatically go to terror, which is terror , but we also which is terror, but we also have other situations, like in school shootings and things like that in the us, which is actually very similar. and you completely right, john, in the sense that these people are not bothered about dying on the spot . some people, some of these shooters, for example, in america, will kill themselves on the spot before they let the police do that. so i think, you know, maybe one of the reasons why the police are holding off on calling it a terror attack is because actually, in other instances where it is quite similar, there are sometimes excuses that are made saying he had a mental health problem. this person was bullied at school. so it's like we also have to kind of look at it in that way as well, in the sense that way as well, in the sense that obviously much bigger terror attacks are made and that doesn't make this any less severe . severe. >> there are. >> there are. >> but also, you know, there's the background of it that they have to collect before there is. >> i do also think that there is there is, you know, often quite extreme lengths that go to as a very last resort to call it islamist terror. i mean, it does seem like it does seem as though that's the last thing that they ever actually want to do, because they worry about

whipping up racial tensions. the irony there, of course, being that racial tensions are normally what's caused the terrorist attack in the first place. well, exactly. >> and i mean, the other thing is, you know, that doesn't stop them letting so many people come into this country without any attempt to try and see what the loyalties of these people , what loyalties of these people, what their background is or anything. so we have no idea. yeah. >> and again, the whole point while we're having this discussion, certainly that last bit of it there is that the police, there are still yet to call that a terrorist attack. we have to wait and see if they ever do. indeed do that. but it isfime ever do. indeed do that. but it is time to reveal now today's greatest britain and union jackass. greatest britain and union jackass . all right. i'm excited jackass. all right. i'm excited to see these. so, harriet, who is your greatest britain, please. >> well, my greatest britain is my, our postman. your your own postman and my particular postman. write postman in general. and my postman , because general. and my postman, because i think they do a brilliant job. my i think they do a brilliant job. my postman has this wonderful caustic sense of humour. i actually wait for him to come so

i can pop out and hear what he's thinking for the day. fantastic. he always wears shorts and, even on the coldest winter day he's in shorts and he's now under threat from a certain someone. oh, you're going to find out when you ask me about who my jackass is. >> oh, i see, okay, i ask a quick question about this . is he quick question about this. is he is he bald? and he always wears shorts because my i think we might have the same pose. >> we've got the same. we've got the same postman. >> yeah. there you go. anyway, john, who's your greatest brother? >> have you tried chatting to him? >> i have, he's great. yeah, i love him. i think we know he's one dodi anyway, right, john, this is okay. >> this is. this is all those marvellous veterans, those d—day veterans , many of them over 100. veterans, many of them over 100. and you think, goodness me, how can they go back to the beaches? and can they still be interviewed? and for this year, for some reason, we're getting better interviews than we've ever had, it seems. you know,

it's most extraordinary group of people. but one of them, who was hoping to celebrate this anniversary, david, teacher is 100 and he's died, so he's missed he's missed it by a matter of a week or so. for me. so, david, teacher, my great britain. >> okay, all right, go on. johnny, who's your greatest britain? please. >> i don't always agree with him, but it's actually piers morgan for his appearance on question time this week, he called for another brexit referendum and also of having a p0p referendum and also of having a pop at nigel farage and calling him out basically for running off to america instead of standing here. i thought nigel was supposed to be the biggest patriot of the uk. >> well, there you go. i think nigel touched a nerve with piers by reminding him that he still has a television show, and piers morgan no longer does. but there we go . right. today's greatest we go. right. today's greatest britain. unfortunately, it's not going to be the post worker because we have the same post worker, but it's going to be david teacher and inspirational d—day veteran. now we have about a minute left on the show. so i'm going to ask you to rattle

through if that's okay. who is your union jackass, please. >> so that's the billionaire david krasinski, who plans to take over the post office, get rid of iconic post boxes and are my iconic postman. >> so he's my jacket. >> so he's my jacket. >> i mean, why do you even want to get rid of post boxes? i mean, if people get pictures with post boxes when they come from abroad anyway, right? go on. who's your union jack? >> my honorary jackass for obvious reasons. donald trump. do i need to say any more? just say, well , donald trump, for say, well, donald trump, for people who know about this man, i think they know why he's not going down without a fight. >> john. go on. johnny mine is nikki haley, so within the same camp. so she went to israel and wrote finish them on an idf, idf shell during her visit, which i just thought was absolutely disgusting. no matter what side of the argument you're on, and that those were the shells that went straight to gaza to rafa. >> okay. all right. so today's winner of the union jack is daniel kretinsky, who apparently wants to get rid of post boxes and post these. so there we are.

have a heart. have a heart. look, thank you very much. it's been quite a different, friday night. patrick christys . tonight night. patrick christys. tonight show, i must say, but i have enjoyed it nonetheless. thank you , thank you, thank you. and you, thank you, thank you. and yes, i will be back on monday from 9 pm. make sure you keep it gb news. but until the next time i see you, i hope you have an absolutely wonderful weekend. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello. very good evening to you . here's your latest gb news you. here's your latest gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. there will be a bit of rain around at times this weekend, and also some cloud, but for many a decent amount of fine dry and sunny weather because of an area of high pressure that's building in from the west. any rain that we saw today across the southeast that's now clearing away. so a dry picture here. however, we are going to see some cloud pushing its way in from the east

across eastern parts of england. as we go through the night further north, some spots of rain across parts of scotland, perhaps northern ireland two, but most places staying dry. some clear skies, especially towards the west, under which temperatures will just about dip into single figures , perhaps a into single figures, perhaps a little bit lower than that across parts of scotland. so a chilly start here for some. otherwise, as we go through saturday morning and it is going to be quite cloudy across parts of the southeast and we do need to watch out for a few showers, and some of these could turn heavy as we go into the afternoon, much sunnier further west, so some cloud building as west, so some cloud building as we go through the day. a few spots of rain. then for parts of northern ireland, perhaps northern england, southern scotland, where the clouds are thick enough. but for many it is going to be a dry picture and there will be some sunshine for some. not all of us. some of us will be stuck under a bit of cloud, particularly across parts of northern england, the far south of scotland. here the cloud is likely to linger through a big chunk of the day, and we could see a few showers developing as well, even elsewhere, 1 or 2 showers are possible, but any that do develop will be pretty light and

short lived, and most of us will avoid them. there will be a decent amount of sunshine for most of us. however and with lighter winds than today, it should feel pleasant enough . should feel pleasant enough. temperatures generally
