1:02 pm
setting a target, a specific target on it, and the reason for thatis target on it, and the reason for that is partly because the conservatives have just effectively ripped up all the targets that they've set over many years. they've discredited the whole process, but also more importantly, because there are short term factors that can affect the numbers and what we think instead is we need to have a long term approach that is about bringing net migration down and tackling the failings in the system. >> meanwhile, the conservatives and the liberal democrats are focusing on the nhs today. the tories say they'll build 100 new gp surgeries and modernise 150 others to help make appointments more accessible. the party has also pledged to build 50 new diagnostic centres. the plans would be paid for by cutting the number of nhs managers to pre—pandemic levels. health secretary victoria atkins says working to make the nhs better. >> my job as health secretary, for example, is to explain our

1:06 pm
troubles yesterday as a new poll gives labour its biggest lead since liz truss. the lettuce. remember a survey by opinium has sir keir starmer's party up four points to 45, with the tories down 2 to 25, putting labour on course for a landslide victory. things you never hear, do you ? things you never hear, do you? joining me now is gb news political correspondent katherine forster. to explain more about the latest doom and gloom for rishi sunak and the conservatives. take it away, catherine. >> yes, well, the conservatives had hoped that the polls would have started to shift by now. where are we? day 11 of the election campaign. following these policy announcements on national service on the triple lock plus, etc. but you know, the mrp poll that forecast the conservatives down to about 70 seats and that was done a few days ago. but the polls that broke last night were pretty much bang up to date. and there's no sign of the polls
1:07 pm
shifting at all. in fact, if anything, it looks like it's getting worse for the prime minister at the moment. i was on the bus with the conservatives and the prime minister briefly yesterday, the prime minister seems incredibly upbeat and energetic , despite the polls, of energetic, despite the polls, of course. he'll say , well, it course. he'll say, well, it doesn't matter what the polls say. the only poll that matters is july the fourth. but clearly they're going to be, very concerned about this. they feel that they've got the policies, that they've got the policies, that they've got the policies, that they've got the momentum. but it's quite possible that a large portion of the electorate have simply stopped listening to what the conservatives have to say, that they're so fed up after 14 years and they are ready for change, and that they're going to go for labour, who are playing it very safe . who are playing it very safe. they're just holding a lot of the time that one word change. changeis the time that one word change. change is everywhere. they're not making massive announcements, will that be enough change?
1:08 pm
>> i mean, there's another word that i've now added to my brexit banned list of words. change is one of them. i mean, that's all. that's all people are voting for. is it change because they're not actually voting for policy. they're just voting to get the tories out. but i want to talk about the really important stuff. catherine, you've been on the battle bus. you've seen it there. i must admit that that logo on the side, it looks like a new washing powder to me. but what do i know? what's it like on the battle bus? give us the goss. come on. yeah. >> it was unveiled with great excitement yesterday in redcar in the sunshine, it's pretty flash. i have to say. it's got very nice seats. i was sitting facing backwards, which is slightly strange, but it's good for people filming you when you're talking, and there's a fridge. angela rayner has been showing off the labour battle bus and its fridge and its contents. a lettuce with some eyes on. i wonder if that's a dig at liz truss. but anyway , i dig at liz truss. but anyway, i can tell you that the conservative battle bus has a fridge, coffee machines, etc. etc. but also two air ovens, two
1:09 pm
ovens, two that's ready for all those oven ready deals that they've got, possibly not, or an oven ready stuffing or something along those lines we can see angela rayner. this is a tiktok video . labour are really going video. labour are really going for the young vote, aren't they? by for the young vote, aren't they? by doing everything on tiktok to be fair, it is quite funny, yeah, she's she's about to get the lettuce out. there's the lettuce in that fridge, i believe. go for it, angela. come on, get a wriggle on, girl. oh, god. tiktok videos go on for so long, don't you? if you're listening on the radio, i do apologise, but it's angela rayner getting a letter es with googlv rayner getting a letter es with googly eyes out of the labour battle bus fridge , but, battle bus fridge, but, catherine, just quickly before you go, catherine. very, very quickly. there was a piece in one of the papers yesterday about life on the campaign trail, on the battle buses being all sex, drugs and rock and roll . catherine. >> well, yeah, i did read that piece by cleo watson. i would say, obviously she was on quite a few election campaigns with bofis a few election campaigns with boris johnson, etc, etc. also in the states. i think it's a bit
1:10 pm
different under rishi sunak and sir keir starmer. they're quite sensible, aren't they? they're very diligent. they're very hard working. you know, and the same could be said for their team. so the prime minister is of course, teetotal. so yeah, there's another four week, four and a half weeks to go. we'll have to see. but at the moment, the most exciting thing i can tell you about it is that there's two ovens on the bus, four weeks on a teetotal bus. >> katherine forster thoughts and prayers with you. good luck, my lovely . thank you very much, my lovely. thank you very much, katherine forster. right, okay. we've got a great panel for you. it's girl power today, by the way. sorry about that, boy, but let's see what my panel make of this. i'm joined by a former labour party adviser, the lovely scarlett mccgwire and writer and columnist and journalist are equally lovely. emma wall, proper girl thing going on here now, do we want to talk about sex, drugs and rock and roll and battle buses? you've been a labour adviser, scarlet, haven't you? >> yeah, i've never been on the battle bus. >> i mean, i was i was story, i was remembering, that there was some guy who will remain
1:11 pm
nameless. >> i think he was. he was writing for the observer. and he was thrown off for snorting heroin. yeah. i'm joking though. oh, really? >> how long ago was this? i it's 2001. >> i mean, it was i mean, it wasn't it wasn't. it wasn't that long. he didn't make a secret about it. >> it might not have been that newspaper. we can't remember which newspaper it was, but we don't want to identify anyone because they're not here to defend themselves. >> no, no, it was it was quite a story. this wasn't this wasn't this wasn't particularly secret. >> i mean, i think i think that catherine has sort of intimated that the battle buses with boris johnson were rather more fun , johnson were rather more fun, and i think that, i think that what the journalists do on the battle bus is sort of rather different to what the politicians. >> i'm sure catherine wouldn't put a toe wrong. she's no . put a toe wrong. she's no. >> absolutely. but i think there are some journalists, i mean, in the old days, i used to be considered a teetotaller because i didn't drink at lunchtime. right? | i didn't drink at lunchtime. right? i mean, oh, yeah . right? i mean, oh, yeah. >> yeah, but this is the thing. >> yeah, but this is the thing. >> i mean, it is like, you know,
1:12 pm
look, the polls are meant to be talking to you both about the polls, emma, but i mean, well, can we what more can we say? i mean, it's another poll saying no one's voting for the tories because we're all angry with them. >> yeah. look, the party is dire. >> it's absolutely dire for sunak, as everybody has been saying for days now, nothing is shifting the polls. nothing. nothing that sunak and hunt can do. they've been promising a couple of tax cuts. that's not working. they've been pulling policies out of thin air. you know, like there's no tomorrow. i wanted to know about the snacks. who has better snacks on the battle buses? i wanted to know about the safety aspects. is it safe to have ovens on a battle bus? it doesn't sound very safe to me. and then what about the lavatories? because i remember euro ratings. euro railing on those great massive big coaches. and the lavatory was always the bath. going to the bathroom was always the dire moment in your 30 hour journey to italy or whatever. so what do they do about lavatories? >> yeah, i mean, it's catherine still here. can we still talk to catherine? catherine, can we talk? no, no, she's got she's she's got we get her back later because she, she's we want to know about snacks and lavatories. catherine. >> i'm here if you can see me.
1:13 pm
>> yes, you are there. we thought we were just hiding behind the settee in embarrassment, outing her toilet towels of the battle bus. so what? the loos like, catherine? >> yeah. it's okay. i mean, similar to being on a plane. so go earlier in the trip if possible . possible. >> you know, don't go with a small child. you need. catherine ihave small child. you need. catherine i have to ask. >> we're all girls here, so you can be honest. here is there more men than women on the battle bus? >> oh, don't go to the loo after a man. i'm just. >> i'm asking. come on. >> i'm asking. come on. >> yeah, i'm trying to. i'm trying. i'm trying to think. i would say so . i did go late. would say so. i did go late. yesterday was a little bit smelly . the snacks were very smelly. the snacks were very good. snacks and biscuits. lots of crisps, lots of soft drinks, chocolate biscuits , a few chocolate biscuits, a few healthy grapes and bananas as well. nice sandwiches, smoked salmon and cream cheese. that's what i had for lunch yesterday . what i had for lunch yesterday. they do actually make a big effort to look after the journalists. and you know, we were on a farm. very nice sandwiches were brought out. i think they've realised that, you know, hungry journalists make for bad tempered journalists and
1:14 pm
absolutely do not want that. >> so, catherine, the other thing is right. what's it like? okay. i mean, you've been on it. so what's it like when this battle bus, which is quite a posh one, isn't it, rolls up into the middle of nowhere and sort of like, you know, the prime minister gets off and everyone goes, what is that? is that the prime minister? what's the reaction you get? >> yeah, it's quite surreal because he got off in blythe yesterday. it was a lovely sunny day. there's you know, the people with the banners all around. and then he goes for a bit of a walkabout and there's people just out by the seaside. and the look on their faces is quite something. so there were kids and family and people with dogs, veterans having a chat. he's very good at sort of chatting to people, 1 to 1, getting photos , but there's this getting photos, but there's this sort of whirlwind of, press photographers, minders that surround him as he walks along the front. and then he went oven the front. and then he went over, came past these beach huts and there were a couple of people just sitting in the sun on sort of chairs, and you could see they sort of couldn't quite
1:15 pm
believe of what they were seeing. and then i heard somebody said to them, not from the pm's team, but just another person said, oh, should we get a picture with him? and the lady just went, no , but there were just went, no, but there were lots and lots of people that did want pictures and the day before we were at this heritage railway and there was a whole scrum of people round, he was bringing outice people round, he was bringing out ice creams for, well, for the journalists. and again i heard them scream, sorry, that's surreal. >> the prime minister giving you an ice cream. >> yeah it is, it is. but i heard a lady saying, is this for real? i think she thought maybe that it was a prime minister sort of stunt double or something. she couldn't quite believe her eyes. so it's fun watching the reaction because this sort of whirlwind descends for like 15, 20 minutes and then it moves on to the next place. >> catherine, you're going to come back for more later on because we want to hear about the private jet exploits. more to come, but so, i mean, scarlett, i mean, you are a former labour adviser, so i mean, you're not going to be a conservative. would it make a difference if rishi sunak
1:16 pm
brought you an ice cream? would you vote for him? >> well, i certainly wouldn't. >> well, i certainly wouldn't. >> i'm not sure. >> i'm not sure. >> i'm not sure how many people would vote for him because of an ice cream. >> i mean, i mean, i think even if you're a swing voter, that possibly an ice cream isn't going to make up your mind with a flake. well, maybe. maybe if they buy them for your children and your children are then nice for an hour, you think he can do something ? but i think that has something? but i think that has to be it. we are joking. >> i mean, we are joking. obviously we're not taking anything seriously because it's anything seriously because it's a sunny sunday and we don't have to, to be honest with you, but i mean, the thing is, is there any, i mean, ice creams aside, is there anything rishi sunak can do ? can do? >> no, i don't think at this stage there's much he can do. i think if he bought a zoom for my three year old, i would. he gets my vote. that would be great. but also i actually disagree with scarlett. i think that meeting them in person and if you have a chat, if you're a bit like me, you feel very politically homeless at the moment, you're really not sure you know what you think, but you're not sure what party is offering anything different? i actually think meeting someone
1:17 pm
like rishi sunak or even meeting your local mp and them convincing you that they give a damn that they would like to change things in your area, i actually think that kind of stuff matters and can change things more than just the endless spewing out of these policies that are all the same, really, on both sides. >> that's actually that's an interesting point, though, isn't it, scarlett? because the one party that is doing that, which is concentrating on local issues for local people is the lib dems i >> -- >> yeah. -_ >> yeah. no, i'm going to come back to on something ms3 which i think is really interesting. but on the lib dems, they're being fun, right? but and ed davey is being your embarrassing dad and he's doing everything wrong and he's doing everything wrong and he's falling off the paper talking about him later. >> he's got more stunts coming up. >> right. and but but but i think the slight i mean it's all fun and it gets on to the news bulletins and it gives you think. but actually. so i didn't realise that in lake windermere he was talking about water pollution. i just thought he was messing about and i and i think that's i think what emma says is
1:18 pm
really interesting about talking to your local mp, but that had to your local mp, but that had to be done for the last five years. and it's quite interesting that when the when i'm not going to mention this particular labour mp who is, who is excellent, but, somebody was doing focus groups and they said not only had everybody knew who their mp was, most of them said they'd met her and actually that doesi they'd met her and actually that does i think it think it makes a difference. it really makes a difference. it really makes a difference. yeah and there are and you know, there was a as it happened a tory. i mean it was my, anyway brother's second wife, son was wanting work experience and the conservatives didn't even write back to him. this is the thing. >> it's all about personal treatment. and ice creams, obviously. don't forget the ice creams. right? we've got to move on. unfortunately, i was quite enjoying that. thank you very much for catherine, for all those channels. there's more from her coming up, but for all the best analysis and opinion on that story, ice creams and anything else, go to our website, gbnews.com and now ta dai it's officially summer. evidently and we've got a brand

1:21 pm
1:22 pm
1:23 pm
this is gb news >> and we are britain's election channel. >> this vote may seem to be about the politicians and the media, but it's actually about
1:24 pm
you. we won't forget that. >> join us up and down the country as we follow every moment together. >> more than ever, it's important to hear all sides as you make your decision in the run up to polling day. >> this is gb news, the people's channel >> this is gb news, the people's channel, britain's election . channel. >> welcome back. this is gb news sunday with me. dawn neesom on telly, online and on digital radio. it's a real girl power thing going on today and we're not apologising for it because we can suck it up, boys, okay, now talking of boys, keir starmer has unveiled a manifesto promise to cut the number of immigrants coming to britain . immigrants coming to britain. you might have heard that before. he said. labour will pass laws to crack down on bad bosses hiring foreigners and to train more brits so unemployed britons will be trained to do the job normally taken by overseas workers to cut migration . i think it sounds
1:25 pm
migration. i think it sounds a cracking idea, sounds like common sense . however, when ukip common sense. however, when ukip said it and the conservative party said it, and even gordon brown back in the day said it, they were accused of being racist. so how comes when yvette cooper says it , scarlett, it's cooper says it, scarlett, it's not racist. it's fine. >> it's common sense, as you say. gordon brown did say it. >> he did say he did say it. stick for it. >> and, and so what he's actually talking about seriously , is, is about skills. because what we don't do at the moment is we don't train people. i mean, i was reading an article about, apprenticeships and what's so terrible about them is that people call them apprentice , so the bad bosses can can pick up the money. they these people are not paid even the minimum wage , and they're certainly not wage, and they're certainly not trained. and what we need to do , trained. and what we need to do, we do need to skill people up. i mean, it is ridiculous that, i mean, it is ridiculous that, i mean, we steal nurses from places like the philippines. if you go into a london hospital, i mean , it is packed with very mean, it is packed with very well trained and really good
1:26 pm
filipino nurses, right? but they're we're taking them from other places. other places have paid for them to be trained. so actually it's a good thing for us to be training up british people properly. yeah. >> no, i you know what? i completely agree. i actually completely agree. i actually completely agree. i actually completely agree with yvette cooper by saying this , and it's cooper by saying this, and it's not racist. it's common sense. we have unemployed people in this country. we have what's the exact figure? how many people, 3.25 million people not in work at the moment. >> it's not rocket science, is it? no. one has not been saying this. we need to upskill. we need to get people either into education, employment or training. okay, fine. agreed. but you know, how are they going to do this? be things like healthcare. you don't just click your fingers and get a nurse or a care worker or a doctor. you have to go back. you know, it's a minimum of seven years, usually of good solid medical training, even for nurses. it's a good it's a good few years for midwives. it's years of training. so we can't just do this like this. we need to look at the sectors like health and
1:27 pm
social care, where people are paid appallingly low rate. yes, because we don't value them. we don't care about them. same with nursery workers, the ones who do the really tough jobs, looking after our babies, looking after our elderly people, looking after the dying, looking after very vulnerable and ill people in social care. we don't pay them properly in this country. we don't value them. so what we need to do is start to look at that. but root and branch reform of that. it's not about starmer just saying smash the criminal gangs, end illegal immigration and give those jobs, get unemployed people back to work. you could literally put that on either of the any of the party manifestos. they would all sign up to that. only a few days ago, rishi was saying he was going to take money out of universities and put it into apprenticeships. they're all saying the same thing. can we see some action? >> yeah, i mean, under labour's proposals, the role of migration advisory committee, which advises the home office on the occupations of shortage of workers, so it's going to be a committee that will set up a, will is set up in the future. national skills bodies to advise how many areas. >> we've heard that a gazillion
1:28 pm
times as vocational qualifications nvqs everything thing. what's new. >> so i'm sitting here. emma's right , >> so i'm sitting here. emma's right, emma's right. i mean, agreeing with her. yes. i'm sorry. i will completely disagree with emma and say that we need i mean, we need social. we need proper social care. and yes , doctors take seven years. yes, doctors take seven years. yes, nurses take three. and we should be training far more. and it's appalling that nurses are supposed don't get paid to do it. that that we, we don't train enough doctors. but actually as far as social care is concerned, we should be training people and, and that we can start now and, and that we can start now and actually , frankly, it's and actually, frankly, it's great to have a migration advisory committee to tell us what skills. but actually the three of us can tell you the bafic three of us can tell you the basic skills that we know. >> we know there are there is a crisis in social care. absolutely. we know there is a crisis in early years, nurseries . we know there is a crisis in teachers and education and that kind of thing. so those are the
1:29 pm
sectors and they are not valued. and they are. and actually, you're right, you don't need seven years for that. you could get kids now leaving school. tell them these are fantastic professions. pay them properly, get them into care work, get them working with babies and young people and young kids. they would do that, but we just treat people like absolute rubbish and employ migrants at much lower rates. >> this is the problem with this. i mean, it was i think it was one of your lot, wasn't it, that tony blair chap that encouraged everyone to go to university and i think universities are a good thing. >> well, they are a good and he's and he said everybody. no he, he didn't say everybody. he said 50. and i think there's a real problem about people like us saying, i mean i don't know whether you've got a university degree i have, you haven't. >> take a guess. >> take a guess. >> you might have, you might know. but i think that i mean, i think that that, that saying, i mean, the people who say , you mean, the people who say, you know, oh, we'll close down these courses and everything are often people who went to oxford and cambridge and go, well, that's all right . that's all right. but all right. that's all right. but not these universities. and actually the universities. they
1:30 pm
want to close down the courses. they want to close down it. are the local people . so some the local people. so some somewhere like the university of sunderland, actually most people who go there are local. they wouldn't go to a to a to a university. yeah. >> but we're talking about the mickey mouse degrees. we're talking about taylor swift studies and things like that. >> and it isn't such a thing. these these mickey mouse degrees do not exist. they used to say media studies was a mickey mouse degree. you look at media studies, what is it? 95% of the people get jobs when they come out. >> yeah, but very low pay jobs. so the point i was trying to make, that's all right. that's the point i was trying to make with the tony blair initiative is it led to people disrespecting the working class, the fact that you can go from 16 or 18 and you can go into a profession , you can start maybe profession, you can start maybe as a trainee or as an apprentice or an office help or whatever, and you can work your way up by 21. >> you're saving, you're earning . you're not you're not on .you're not you're not on benefits. you're not in you're not in an academic. so what exactly? people who decide they want to go straight into work.
1:31 pm
>> i think that's fine. i just think , or into the military. but think, or into the military. but it was and that's fine. but it was all yeah, it was always he he said 50, not 150% is only half . that still leaves half the half. that still leaves half the people to do other things. >> i think what dawn and i are reacting to is this aspiration that everybody really and i know 50% is not 100, but the idea that we get more people down the academic route, it's not right for everyone and it's expensive as well. it's very expensive. >> nothing wrong with driving lorries or working in care homes. they are more valuable and they are very skilled . and they are very skilled. >> and the thing is about apprenticeships is we need what we need is more skills. we have to get people shouting at me. >> sorry we were late to the news, right? okay it's sitting there very gorgeously waiting for us. this is dawn neesom. this is gb news and there's loads more coming up on today's show. but first it is the news headunes show. but first it is the news headlines with severe. >> dawn, thank you from the gb newsroom at 132 your headlines

1:39 pm
there, meanwhile, dickie on labour. good afternoon. dickie says starmer's plans to kerb immigration and fine employers who bring in all these foreign workers is really just a rehash of reforms. employer immigration tax announced this week. they're all saying pretty much the same thing, aren't they , meanwhile, thing, aren't they, meanwhile, steve, on immigration, the last one says, well said about social care. they are undervalued. low pay care. they are undervalued. low pay doesn't mean low skill as an invaluable job. looking after the most vulnerable as my best mate is a care worker , i could mate is a care worker, i could not agree more. okay, now. so let me know your thoughts. you can do that. we can read your stuff out as well. everything we're talking about today is very simple to do that gbnews.com/yoursay and join our conversation or message me on our socials. we're @gbnews now. yes, it's, the election section part two. as the election campaigns plough on through the country, labour reform, tories and the snp have remained quite traditional in their approach to the campaign trail, haven't they? but not the lib dems. their leader, sir ed davey, has been out and about performing . been out and about performing. you can see him there, publicity
1:40 pm
stunts, seemingly acting up, paddleboarding, water sliding down hill, downhill cycling even. but to be fair to down hill, downhill cycling even. but to be fairto him , even. but to be fair to him, there you go. he was rubbish at paddleboarding has to be said to be fair to him. we are talking about him so is this tomfoolery working or is it the most cunning of cunning plans? what do we reckon to this one? emma >> well, i think the thing i object to about the waterslide stuff was the length of his shorts, which were painfully tiny. they were like hot pants due to lower the tone. they were hot pants anyway. no, look, i mean , i think it started out mean, i think it started out serious and then it all went wrong so quickly for him that he's decided to harness it and make it into a series of mad photo opportunities, which is one way of garnering attention. it makes me feel a bit sad for them that they don't have serious policies that they could talk to us about on a serious note, and that he has to go out and do silly things. and also, dawn, sorry to raise the tone, but i'm i also feel it's slightly tasteless, actually from ed davey because he hasn't addressed the issue of the post
1:41 pm
office scandal, the horizon scandal, people lost their lives, and i don't think it's just me that's feeling in the country. still a whiff of just bad feeling about the ed davey, road show. sorry sir. ed davey road show. sorry sir. ed davey road show. sorry sir. ed davey road show when he didn't really apologise and he hasn't really addressed it. >> and i could not agree more. emma, i think, you know, while i do find it amusing to watch a, you know, an idiot in very short shorts fall off a paddleboard, and the water slide thing. yeah. i can never unsee that. i do keep coming back to what the poor people involved in that post office scandal went through. the fact that, you know, some took their own lives, many lost. they had to move from their towns and their villages where they were working. there is still a whiff of, oh, yeah, but were you really doing something wrong? well, nothing's happening over there. nothing. >> i mean, they haven't had proper compensation. it's been it's been going on and on. i mean, i, i think, you know, when
1:42 pm
lee anderson , that man who we lee anderson, that man who we know has done absolutely nothing about the post office, says that ed davey is responsible for suicide , i think he's completely suicide, i think he's completely wrong. however, i was absolutely shocked. and this this is months ago that when it first came out that ed davey had had anything to do with it, i assumed that that lib dem headquarters. i mean, what if i had been working there? i would have said right as soon as i knew ed davey had anything to do with it, you put him out. he apologises and then he says, and then i'm going to fight for them. and because the were right, james arbuthnot, a tory for really , really hard, tory for really, really hard, and kevin brennan, i mean a labour and a tory mp, fought incredibly hard. ed davey he could have done something and instead for six weeks he avoided the cameras and now he's thinking, and you're right. i mean, people are, people are still really, really suffering. and this government, this government has done anything we
1:43 pm
need to have proper compensation. and actually, i mean, his it does leave a nasty. you're right, emma , it just you're right, emma, it just leaves a nasty taste in your mouth. >> obviously we have to prepare. i mean, ed davey is not here to defend himself. no and i wish he would. i mean, give us a ring from the battlebots. battlebots even, or wherever you're absorbing or whatever you're doing today. so he's not here to defend himself? >> i was talking about a communication strategy that would have been mine. yeah. no, absolutely. >> and i do think that would be handy. so is but is the lib dem message getting across in any way shape or form here? >> i don't think it is because we're not really talking about their policies. we're talking about the silly stunts. and of course we need some levity in the campaign. of course we do. and i hate to be the kind of, you know, oh, you know, oh, look, you can't be funny. you're responsible . no one is responsible. no one is responsible. no one is responsible for anybody's suicide. let's just be clear about that, ed davey certainly is not responsible. but, dawn, when you say, you know, people lost their lives, they lost their marriages, they lost their homes, they lost their
1:44 pm
businesses. they lost their dignity, their social standing in their local areas. so it just it doesn't wash with me. this is it doesn't wash with me. this is it doesn't wash with me. this is it doesn't sit well with me. ed davey's. jolly around the country. it really doesn't. and i know there are other people who just think this is not befitting given that it's such a recent thing and it is not resolved, that scandal is not resolved. people have not received compensation and honzon received compensation and horizon have just renewed their contract for another five years for the post office. >> hey. yeah. who's thinking that one through, yes. i mean, the other thing is, is genuinely . although, i mean, if we forgot everything that emma has quite rightly said, and just looked at it as, as as as stunts. what do i know about the lib dems exactly. yeah. i mean, and actually the thing is that in this election, the lib dems stand a really good chance of getting an awful lot. and whether i mean on the doorstep, people go, but i don't know what you stand for, well, this is the thing. i mean, in in the gb news
1:45 pm
exclusive poll that we were discussing yesterday that showed the tories potentially only having 66 seats while labour had a huge landslide, it did actually show that reform are polling higher on 12% than the lib dems on ten, which is a pretty yes and a and a poll today reform on 11% and lib dems on 8% reform have come from a standing start. >> they've come from nowhere in the past. what year or so, whereas the lib dems have been around for a heck of a lot longer than that. and i think it's really, really telling , as it's really, really telling, as you say, scarlet, that we cannot name. what are they running for? what are they running on at the moment apart from local issues? and you, do you get some brilliant local lib dem and it is often in those areas where the lib dems, they are concentrating on that local issues, as they do in our local down in the south and south—west. >> yeah, unfortunately we have to move on from that. we've got zorbing ourselves. you know what zorbing is? it's rolling around in a big ball. we haven't done that. >> oh gosh. i'd like to see him do that. >> not a good idea. zorbing. >> not a good idea. zorbing. >> yes. and skateboarding. >> yes. and skateboarding. >> maybe then he really would fall off. he would.
1:46 pm
>> he would fall off. any case, i am dawn neesom navalny . i'm i am dawn neesom navalny. i'm still dawn neesom. and this is gb news sunday and there's lots more coming up on today's show now. we all love a bit of reality telly, don't we? but would you watch keeping up with the rees—moggs ? all of that and the rees—moggs? all of that and much more to come. this is gb news britain's news channel, but don't too far. getting fun.

1:50 pm
kidding. it's been reported that jacob rees—mogg has been approached by disney+ to, well, film a fly on the wall series. pete discovery. disney. discovery, i think, is featuring him and his family, rees—mogg says, is very flattered and that he is actually thinking about it. so it's like it's like mogul box, isn't it? see? see what i did there? that's clever, isn't it? anyway, scala and emma are still here and they've stopped talking about politicians , talking about politicians, nether regions. yeah, funny. so we're going to now talk about would you watch jacob rees—mogg. you know , it's sort of like you know, it's sort of like a kardashians thing, but with the mogs, how many kids has he got? >> six. >> six. >> six. >> six kids. because the sixth one is called sixtus or something. if that wasn't, maybe there was a child called septus. maybe it's seven. anyway, they're all his sector, they're all his sectors, they're all his and his wife's , i actually and his wife's, i actually i would watch it, but i think it would watch it, but i think it would be a terrible decision by jacob rees—mogg because. because
1:51 pm
either it's going to be completely fixed and nothing's going to come through, or else it's just going to completely wreck his, you know, his whole standing . i mean, for god's standing. i mean, for god's sake, he's keeping up with the kardashians. i mean, does he really want to join that? is he really want to join that? is he really interested in fame so much? i mean, well, you know , i much? i mean, well, you know, i mean, to be fair to jacob, he is very eccentric . very eccentric. >> i would i mean, he doesn't he still have a nanny. >> i would himself i think this would be absolutely fascinating. he lives in a stately home. he's actually, you know, he's made £100 million fortune. he's a very, very clever investment banken very, very clever investment banker. he's got six children, as you say. he's married to this heiress. he's hilariously kind of formal. he goes out campaigning and you see his little kind of mini me, the one of the sons who kind of dresses like a little grown up, but, you know, those little dickensian kind of outfits. little lord fauntleroy goes out, goes out campaigning with nanny , and i campaigning with nanny, and i think nanny was his nanny when he was a little boy. that's weird. i think it would be fascinating. i don't think jacob
1:52 pm
will do it. i think he's so polite that he probably said, that's an interesting idea and isn't ruling it out, but it would be really interesting. >> i think he's got a wicked sense of humour under there. i don't think he takes himself too seriously. >> you know, i think as i say, i would watch it and i'm sure and i'm sure lots and lots of other, and i think it's a very good idea by discovery tv. but, but, but i mean, i think it would break all the election rules, by the way, about broadcasting and what you can and can't share. >> i'm not sure he could actually do it about once he loses his seat, which is highly likely to the lib dems . likely to the lib dems. >> apparently it's labour. i assumed it was the lib dems when i did tell him on air that he was going to lose it because suella was so ghastly and all the nice people would vote lib dem, but apparently it's labour, and i mean, it's certainly well within the realms of possibility, depending on, you know , what goes down. know, what goes down. >> it was actually reported in, in the gb news exclusive poll that, you know, he is one of the big beasts of the conservative party that is in danger of, he's also really popular, though he's also really popular, though he's a little bit like nigel farage.
1:53 pm
>> you think, oh, you know, posh boy jacob rees—mogg. he's really popular with, with everyday people who say, do you know what that man talks sense? that man is honest and he talks straight and he says what he thinks because he says what he thinks. >> that's the thing about him. >> that's the thing about him. >> go boris johnson on love island next. >> boris johnson would be hilarious. oh, god. and on that note, we'll leave it enough. >> saucy. you stop it. dawn neesom . gb news and a lots more neesom. gb news and a lots more coming up on today's show. but first, it's important. here's the weather with honour creswick. that's a new girl, isn't it? oh, let's have a look. what's she got to say? >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar , sponsors of weather on . solar, sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> hello and welcome to your gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. well, there'll still be plenty of sunshine to end the weekend, but from monday it is going to be turning a little bit cloudier. for today though, we've still got plenty of high pressure building across the uk which is
1:54 pm
dominating the weather. notice the frontal system moving into the frontal system moving into the northwest and a slight squeeze in the isobars, so turning a little bit breezier across scotland for the evening, though still plenty of late evening sunshine across central and southern parts of the uk. turning cloudier from the north, though with some rain and drizzle moving into the northwest, and this could be a little bit heavy across northwestern hills for most, though quite cloudy and mild night on offer, most towns and cities not really dropping below double digits , but a little bit double digits, but a little bit cooler under the clear spells in the very far south. so a brighter star across the south. but it is generally going to be clouding over through the course of the morning largely dry, but we will start to see some rain and drizzle feeding into northern parts of wales and parts of northern england, and quite a cloudy picture across northern ireland and the rest of northern england , still with the northern england, still with the odd spot of rain and drizzle but generally brightening up across parts of aberdeenshire, though, we will start to see some showers move in from the west across the northern isles, so a bit of a mixed picture to start the new working week , but the new working week, but generally it's going to be quite a cloudy picture as well . still,
1:55 pm
a cloudy picture as well. still, with the odd spot of rain and drizzle moving into the northwest by the time we reach the afternoon, we will start to see some sunshine poke through the cloud, particularly across scotland, where we will see plenty of sunshine there. quite a brisk breeze which is going to take the edge off the temperatures a little bit, and generally temperatures are going to be slightly lower tomorrow. but where you do catch the sunshine in any sheltered spots across scotland , it should still across scotland, it should still be feeling pleasant and warm. now into the evening. still plenty of cloud, which means it's going to remain fairly mild but turning a little bit cooler across those clearer spells in scotland, and still plenty of showers feeding into the northern isles and for next week, is generally a cloudier picture. still fairly dry across the south, but some rain and showers in the north and feeling a little bit cooler too . here a little bit cooler too. here >> looks like things are heating up boxt boiler as sponsors of weather on june . gb news. weather on june. gb news. >> thank you very much. and that was quite optimistic, wasn't it? well there's lots more coming up on today's show. a string of

2:00 pm
then reform uk's nigel farage is reportedly already planning for life after the election, hoping for a tory wipe—out so he can absorb the party and transform the right in his own image. but would you support that? is that a good move for british politics and thousands of protesters on the balearic island of majorca have made it very clear they no longer even want brits there. oh, join us later to find out why . but this show is nothing why. but this show is nothing without you and your views. it's not about me or what the panel think. and you're being letting us know. we've read some of those that don't worry, so let us know all your thoughts on all the stories we're discussing today by visiting gbnews.com/yoursay say and join the conversation or message on our socials @gbnews and we will read some of them out. i know it's a busy show, but first let's get the news headlines with sophia wenzler.

2:02 pm
short term factors that can affect the numbers and what we think instead is we need to have a long term approach that is about bringing net migration down and tackling the failings in the system. >> meanwhile, the conservatives and the liberal democrats are focusing on the nhs today. the tories say they'll build 100 new gp surgeries and modernise 150 others to help make appointments. more accessible. the party has also pledged to build 50 new diagnostic centres. the plans would be paid for by cutting the number of nhs managers to pre—pandemic levels. health secretary victoria atkins says she's working to make the nhs better . nhs better. >> my job as health secretary, for example, is to explain our vision for our nhs, which is to reform it to make it faster, simpler and fairer. and some of the announcements i have today concerning gp surgeries concerning gp surgeries concerning pharmacy first and community diagnostic centres are the ways that we will help deliver that over the coming years. we are going to fund this
2:03 pm
. it's fully funded, we're going to fund it partly through a reduction of managers in the nhs i >> -- >> and the lib dems have attacked the government's record on health and are promising to reverse £1 billion of conservative cuts . the party conservative cuts. the party says it would fund local services by cracking down on tax evasion. deputy leader daisy cooper accused the tories of decimating public funding, saying it's left britain with a ticking time bomb of health challenges . and in other news, challenges. and in other news, the met police has confirmed 53 people were arrested at wembley as it hosted the champions league final. thousands of football fans were at the stadium to watch real madrid beat borussia dortmund. police say five were arrested for pitch invasion and dozens of others for attempting to breach security . trying to get in security. trying to get in without tickets . there's without tickets. there's division in israel over the proposed ceasefire deal to end the war in gaza. protests broke out overnight in tel aviv, one against the government, the other calling for the release of

2:06 pm
once again, i'm thrilled to say is political correspondent katherine forster. catherine i didn't think labour agreed with the house of lords. so what's going on here? >> yes, indeed. it's not very long ago, is it, that labour said that if they got into power they would abolish the house of lords? now they say that the plan ultimately will be to do that, but they are not planning for five years in office. they are planning for, as keir starmer will say, over and over again, a decade of national renewal , quote. so any again, a decade of national renewal, quote. so any abolition of the house of lords would come in a second parliament. but in the meantime, it looks like the house of lords could come in very useful indeed. in dealing with how do you deal with a problem like diane abbott? because she was, of course, the first female black mp elected to parliament. she's represented her constituents in hackney nonh her constituents in hackney north and stoke newington for 37
2:07 pm
years. and after she was suspended for over a year over that article that she wrote saying that jewish people are irish people and travellers didn't experience racism all their lives in the same way as black people. and you know, she was cast out. it turns out that , was cast out. it turns out that, that investigation concluded months ago . she apologised months ago. she apologised straight away, but with the election being called suddenly and a decision had to be made, now it's reported that the plan had been that she would be the labour whip would be restored to her, and then she would decide in her own time to retire. but of course, it all went horribly wrong last week. it led to several days of really, really bad headlines for the labour leadership in the way that it was handled. diane abbott, appearing outside hackney town hall saying that she would stand by whatever means necessary. so we wait to see. the nec is
2:08 pm
meeting on tuesday day. will she decide to stand now that sir keir starmer has finally said she's free? if she wants to or will? perhaps having made her point, having scored a victory if you like, and she decided not to stand, and likely then be given a peerage and put in the house of lords, we won't have very to long wait. but one other thing. it sounds like labour will make a number of people, piers, because they want to even up the numbers in the house of lords to help them get legislation through there. so far from abolishing the house of lords at the moment, it looks like they could be creating quite a few new peers . quite a few new peers. >> do you think we will get an answer to the whole diane abbott thing on tuesday? when you see me? i mean, the only thing i mean, basically keir starmer is in charge of that as well, isn't he? so he keeps himself saying it's up to them, but you are

actually in charge of it, mate, so. >> well for a long time the line was it's an independent process. it's not up to us. it's up to the national executive committee . but it seemed, reading between the lines, that the labour leadership didn't really want her to stand. now she's free to stand, he said. but that wasn't exactly a gushing endorsement. and given what's happened in the last few days that lots of starmer supporters have basically been parachuted into safe labour seats and other previous corbyn supporters like lloyd russell—moyle and has been suspended. he's not allowed to stand faiza shaheen that was already campaigning in chingford. she too, has been banned from standing . so, it banned from standing. so, it does feel a bit like there has been a purge of some people on the left going going on especially. >> i'm going to ask this because we're an all female team today. and thanks for all the compliments coming in on that
2:10 pm
one, kate osamor is a former member of corbyn's shadow cabinet. she was recently reinstated a labour mp as well. so does labour have a problem with strong women? does it have a problem with women who are of the black or brown, and or is it just because they're on the left? i mean, or is it a combination of all three? >> well, rosie duffield, of course , who's been very course, who's been very outspoken for women's rights, has had quite a rough time, with the labour leadership . she told the labour leadership. she told our political editor, christopher hope , on his podcast christopher hope, on his podcast that she believes that labour has a woman problem. of course, they've never had a female leader , but sir keir starmer leader, but sir keir starmer will say, well, look, i've got rachel reeves , a woman as shadow rachel reeves, a woman as shadow chancellor, i've got angela rayner as deputy leader. so no, of course there is no woman problem. but, faiza shaheen, the other day was incredibly upset that she couldn't stand against sir iain duncan smith in chingford . and she basically
2:11 pm
chingford. and she basically said that labour did have a problem with women. and specifically she had said with black and brown people, she just had a baby about six weeks ago by caesarean. she was already out campaigning. she is contemplating taking legal action against the labour party . action against the labour party. >> we wait and see with bated breath on that one. katherine forster, thank you very much. we didn't have time to get well. you got up to on the private jet with rishi sunak, but we'll get back to that one. don't worry, at some point. thank you very much. katherine forster right. let's see what my wonderful panel scarlett mccgwire and emma woolf make of the dame hood for diane abbott, woolf make of the dame hood for diane abbott , scarlett, you're diane abbott, scarlett, you're on the labour side of things , on the labour side of things, laboun on the labour side of things, labour. we're going to get rid of the house of lords . oh, no. of the house of lords. oh, no. we're going to pop diane abbott in there to shut her up. >> no, there are two different things. if you want to get rid of the house of lords, you have to have a majority in the house of lords to do it. that's what saying that is exactly what tony blair did when he got rid of most of the hereditaries is that
2:12 pm
he had to get it through. so. so of course you need you do need a lot to get rid of them. on diane , i think it'd be great if diane abbott went into the house of lords. i mean, there she is. you know, a pioneering black woman . know, a pioneering black woman. >> i completely agree with you on that. >> and so i and frankly, if you're in the house of lords, you're in the house of lords, you can't literally you just can't stand for parliament. so she's got to make up her mind . she's got to make up her mind. but i, i mean, i think it would be the best thing. i think it would i think it would be really good for her, that she would have a platform. she'd be able to say whatever she wanted and actually, it would, it would due deference to a woman who has really fought to change things. >> i think for a black woman of that generation to achieve what she's achieved is astonishing. regardless of what you think of her politics. completely, but if you were diane abbott, emma, would you or would you think, well, actually, you've treated me fairly shabbily, keir starmer. i'm actually going to stand at an independent here.
2:13 pm
>> i have to disagree with you both. i think the idea that after her comments, which many perceived as anti—semitic, the idea that you are just going to move diane abbott out of the way, you know, move her out of the problem and pop her in the house of lords. i really object. well, i object to the house of lords. i object to this idea that in 2024, we still have this unelected chamber. i find it really distasteful. this is naked political expediency. this is honours being used as, you know, basically bribery. get someone out of the way . i know, basically bribery. get someone out of the way. i think the fact that the honours are handed out like gongs and i'm more worried, i'm more concerned about the fact that the house of lords is now pretty obviously going to be stuffed. and we're talking about it could be up to 100. suddenly new peers created in order to get that political balance that labour will need in order to get their legislation through. i get it, the house at the moment is unbalanced, but but labour are going to stuff them. the house of lords with labour peers. this is not the way the house of lords should
2:14 pm
work. it shouldn't exist. but i mean, i'm no, this is not. this is really distasteful. emma it's an expensive undemocratic with you. they can turn up with you, they sign in, they get their £360. is it three, 43, £60 a day. they have a cup of tea, a day. they have a cup of tea, a day they have a and i know people in the house of lords who say they do that on route. they sign in, get their money, have a cup of tea, have a drink in the bar and leave. it's not new and this is not acceptable. people are working very, very hard out there. the house of lords needs to be abolished and it's the second biggest chamber after the chinese communist party. >> right. appalling. look, i absolutely agree with you. i absolutely agree with you. i absolutely think taxpayers money. i agree that it should, but given that it exists , i do but given that it exists, i do think that diane abbott and can i say that i think what she i mean, she has she's apologised . mean, she has she's apologised. she's done an anti—semitism. of course, i think that what she did, she was incredibly clumsy. right. she should never have said it. she knows she should never have said it. i actually i
2:15 pm
do not think diane's anti—semitic . anti—semitic. >> no i don't i said comments which some perceived as anti—semitic. i'm not calling her anti—semitic actually at all, but i'm personally on her record many, many things going back to saying that, you know, people shouldn't send their children to private school and guess what? her son was in private school. i don't like attacking people on their personal lives, but i'm just saying, for me, she's not someone that i want to see in the house of lords that i respect in that way. >> i mean, this is not new. i mean, tony blair, the i know they do it. >> i know they do it. they stuff the house of lords with their cronies. >> johnson put his family in there. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> doesn't make it. his brother. his brother is in the house. it doesn't make it right, girls. >> it doesn't make it right that. oh, well, it exists. i mean, hamas exists. we still call for them to be abolished. and i'm not i'm not making any equivalence. there but i'm a bit of a jump. i'm not making any equivalence . i'm just saying, equivalence. i'm just saying, because the house of lords exists, we can still point out that it exists, we can still point out thatitis exists, we can still point out that it is an overpaid, undemocratic, unelected chamber andifs undemocratic, unelected chamber and it's wasting a lot of money.
2:16 pm
but do you think i mean, it's the hypocrisy of this, isn't it? >> i mean, i understand that the politically in behind it, like, you know, well, if we want to aboush you know, well, if we want to abolish the house of lords, which we have said we want to do, talking to the labour party here, we need to get more labour peer peers in there, which is why we're going to put diane abbott and a few others in there so that is the long term game plan. but there is a hypocrisy here, isn't there? >> wild hypocrisy and keir starmer, of course, getting rid of the house of lords and then and then of course i understand. >> but i do know that that everybody and this has gone on for some time, everybody put in it has to say, yes, we will vote for the abolition. i mean, the, the there is no question. i mean, i think, i think that the way it's been used because once there are 80 hereditaries because they hung on to them , because they hung on to them, why can't we get rid of the hereditaries completely and then actually, then you know, that that the hereditaries were bad enough because it was just whether you were born from the right mum. but actually the problem now is , is, i mean, as
2:17 pm
problem now is, is, i mean, as tony benn said, you know, it's who you know, of course it is. >> and it's because i know people personally in the house of lords who've said to me, cushiest job i've ever had cushiest job i've ever had cushiest ride i've ever had. and i also, as we all do know, people working for the nhs, working, stacking, supermarket shelves, whatever. and when you compare the two, it is actually really, really disgusting to be having one lot of people saying cushiest ride i've ever had and the other lot of people working hard for an hourly wage, we have to move on now. >> but obviously that's got the panel very engaged . what do you panel very engaged. what do you think? let us know. it's our it's the usual methods of getting in touch. i can't put it on screen. put it on screen for me. no oh come on, just can't get the star. there you go. gb news.com forward slash your say house of lords get rid of it. outdated or shall we keep it on. let us know. right. okay now we've just been discussing it today. here are the current candidates for the chingford and woodford green constituency ,

2:24 pm
news sunday with me. dawn neesom on your telly, online and on digital radio. hope you have a wonderful sunday afternoon out there. now. reform uk's nigel farage is reportedly already planning for life after the election. the party's honorary president is hoping for a tory wipe—out so he can absorb the party and transform the right of politics in his own image. but is this a good move for british politics? yes. we're going to come to you first on this one. emma, what do you i mean, it's a very, very strong message he's sending out there . i mean, well, sending out there. i mean, well, tories abolished. i'm in charge. >> well, look , i mean, he's >> well, look, i mean, he's talking about, you know, what will be left after i think this raises the issue of what will be left after the election, because there will be precious little left of the tory party if we're talking about 66 seats. yeah, there's not that much to absorb. he's talking about reshaping the centre right. and i think for me, this is a really good a really interesting point about what is left. what does the tory party look like after the next election, because you've seen the list of the big beasts, the
2:25 pm
gb news poll showing the big beasts who are likely to lose their seats or possible to lose their seats or possible to lose their seats. we know that many nearly 80, maybe over 80 by now, mps are standing down. so, you know , and the other thing is know, and the other thing is there does need to be radical reform. but the other thing is nigel farage is certainly far more popular already than rishi sunakis more popular already than rishi sunak is right now. so it wouldn't be beyond was more popular than rishi sunak is. >> right. >> right. >> yeah, but nigel farage has a lot more personal recognition and popularity . it wouldn't be and popularity. it wouldn't be beyond the wit of man for him to absorb that and to remake that in, you know, remake that centre right in his own image. >> do you think i'd be a good thing for british politics? >> scarlett? no, i think it would be terrible. i mean, i think i think there are an awful lot of conservatives, who i speak to who are sort of waiting for the conservative party to move back to the centre ground and the thing about nigel farage is i think it's amazing arrogance that he goes out to destroy the tory party. that's what he wants to do. he wants to
2:26 pm
destroy the tory party that we have at the moment and then says, and now you want me to be your leader because he's been such a successful leader. she says, ironically, he has been a very successful leader . very successful leader. >> he led the brexit campaign. i couldn't disagree more. >> he's fall apart. >> he's fall apart. >> he's fall apart. >> he he doesn't say, i want to destroy . he he's never set out destroy. he he's never set out to destroy the tory party. he's feeling what many of us are feeling what many of us are feeling politically homeless when he looked at the tory party that he used to support and he's saying these are not conservatives anymore, that's what he's saying. that's what people are responding to. >> i don't think they are. i mean, i think i think the problem i mean, when you look at at, at all the tory seats that are, that are going to be lost, i mean, an awful lot of them are going to go to the lib dems. right. and labour then, i mean, they're not going to go to reform. so, so you've got somebody who's, who's who's chair of the party. i just think he plays at politics and it's great. he has a lovely , lovely great. he has a lovely, lovely time playing at politics and it's very easy to play at politics. but as he said to me, when, you know, i said, what
2:27 pm
about internal democracy? and he said, that's not for political parties . he said, that's not for political parties. he couldn't. >> he just what about internal democracy? well, what about the fact that reform, for example, is on 11 or 12% and probably won't get a seat? that's what i call internal democracy failing, which is that we don't have proportional representation. and i agree with the votes that people are voting for the things they care about are not being represented because it's a two party system, utterly rigged. >> i completely agree with you about proportional representation, right? i mean, i think, i think that we should have it, but but actually, if you look at if you look at, nigel farage's track record, he goes through parties. i mean, the thing about what nigel likes to do is he likes to tell people what to do . what to do. >> they're different names, they're different names, but it's all pretty consistent. the brexit party, ukip, they reform, they fall apart doing what people want, which is centre right, talking about issues that people, real people actually care about. like immigration, like the cost of living, like the fact that they don't feel that british people matter that
2:28 pm
much in this country anymore. >> emma, i'm talking about actually how to run a party. i mean, if what nigel farage wants to do is talk about principles, he could. it's not about. it's got more than principles. if he does not know how to run a party. right? >> oh, if you want a bureaucrat, that's fine. i'm not going to argue with you on that. i'm not saying that he's be the best person to do that. >> you know you need. >> you know you need. >> but no, i'm talking about people who care about actual policies that british people care about. >> you need a party leader and actually, it's interesting that that he's not even the party leader of reform. right? he's got an honorary president. so it means he can do whatever he wants. but he doesn't have to take responsibility for anything. he doesn't have to organise anything. i mean, i know a lot of politics is boring, right? but actually, you have to get it right. and the thing about nigel is, i mean , thing about nigel is, i mean, you you look at how how, you know, ukip just just descended into chaos. his party's descend into chaos. his party's descend into chaos. his party's descend into chaos because, because because he's autocratic. sure he's got your principles right. but i mean, you know , he's not but i mean, you know, he's not going to do anything about it.
2:29 pm
and he they haven't planned for how they're actually going to get seats because they're not going to. emma how do you feel, given what you've said about nigel just now ? nigel just now? >> i mean, he has been incredibly influential in british politics, terribly successful , incredibly successful, incredibly influential, and he cares about the things that real people care about, just like donald trump. how do you feel it interests . how do you feel it interests. you mentioned donald trump. how do you feel that nigel has said that he is actually going to go out and support donald trump in what he's doing in america, rather than staying here? >> i do think that's a real shame. and i'm not again, i'm not attacking him personally , not attacking him personally, but i do think that's a real shame. he's obviously been offered, you know, a very high profile, probably quite well paid role out there. and i it is that that was a sort of false note for me when he said, actually, he was more interested in the american campaign and being out on the election trail out there. that's a shame. >> and coming back to you, scarlett, on this one. a few people are getting in touch here saying that they they won't forgive nigel because he by his actions, he's letting labour in.
2:30 pm
>> oh he is i mean, there's absolutely no question about it. is that reform are giving an election to the labour party. >> you can't do it like that. >> you can't do it like that. >> you can't do it like that. >> you can't. »- >> you can't. >> it's the problem with that is because of proportional representation. >> that's no, you can't game it like that and say we are where we are. we are. >> we are. >> we are where we we are. >> we are where we are. we are. >> we are where we are. if you set up a party and you have principles that people actually really care about, then , you really care about, then, you know, six months down the line, you're going to let the labour party in by the back door. yes, thatis party in by the back door. yes, that is unfortunate. that will probably happen because they were. but that is the fault of the conservatives being so weak and unprincipled and letting people down. >> well, strong opinions here. so let's , unfortunately we have so let's, unfortunately we have to move on. but let's know what you think about all of these things on the usual methods that are coming up on your screen right now, hopefully at some point. anyway, come on. yeah. gbnews.com forward slash your say i will remember it by the end of the show. possibly i'm dawn neesom i remembered that this is gb news sunday and

2:32 pm
diagnostic centres. the plans would be paid for by cutting the number of nhs managers to pre—pandemic levels, and the lib dems have attacked the government's record on health and are promising to reverse £1 billion of conservative cuts. the party says it would fund local services by cracking down on tax evasion. deputy leader daisy cooper accused the tories of decimating public funding, saying it's left britain with a ticking time bomb of health challenges . and the met police challenges. and the met police has confirmed 53 people were arrested at wembley as it hosted the champions league final. thousands of football fans were at the stadium to watch real madrid beat borussia dortmund . madrid beat borussia dortmund. police say five were arrested for pitch invasion and dozens of others for attempting to breach security by trying to get in without a ticket . and for the without a ticket. and for the latest story, sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen, or go to gb news. common alerts .

oh, dear. oh, lord, welcome back. gb news sunday. i'm dawn neesom, and we're on your telly onune neesom, and we're on your telly online and on digital radio.
2:38 pm
now, we haven't gone north of the border yet. we're about to do so, first minister of scotland, john swinney is launching the snp's general election campaign . in a speech election campaign. in a speech in glasgow. he's asking people to vote for snp to put scotland's interests first. he's also doubling down on his party's ambitions for independence, joining me now is our scotland reporter, tony maguire, to bring us up to speed on everything that's been said, hello. what what's what's been going on then ? going on then? >> afternoon, diane. well, i must say, i was there in there when hearing some of the this year's candidates, we heard from people like katy loudon, who will be representing rutherglen, who of course, switched to labourin who of course, switched to labour in october last year. and we also heard from , various we also heard from, various other members, activists and of course, mps, but before mr swinney took to the stage at the choice, i could stay and listen to him or i could come and speak to him or i could come and speak to you. and i think we can both
2:39 pm
agree. i probably made the right choice there, but, you know, the room is very much kind of alive, full of activists packed with msps and mps, and there obviously wanting to see how do they get around a few complications, shall we say. you know , over the last couple of know, over the last couple of years it hasn't been a great couple of years, but john swinney, you know, he has come in, he is a shrewd operator. you know, he's an experienced politician and many people believe he is going to be the one to secure the majority of seats in scotland this general election. scotland loses a couple of seats this year. actually, we go down from 59 to 57, but that's not going to stop them from their campaign message, which is to push every tory out of scotland. now that's raised some eyebrows, of course, because the conservatives well, you know , they only have six you know, they only have six seats in labour. you know, if you look at the polling they could stand to walk away with mid 20s. so you know, a lot of
2:40 pm
questions being asked of why focusing on the conservative party, however you know, today, if the activists on the street over the next five weeks have any of the passion of the activists in the room behind me, you know, then we're we're expected for a real firecracker of an election campaign from the scottish national party. >> excellent. that's a scotland reporter, tony maguire, there live from the snp conference with john swinney. thank you very much, tony, right . okay. very much, tony, right. okay. back to our panel. see what we make of this scarlett mccgwire emma woolf still with me, still having some heated debate in the studio. i think it's fair to say, can i come to you first on this one? emma, what do you make of the snp and everything that's going up? >> well, the border to say it hasn't been a great couple of years for the snp, i think is the understatement of the of the last couple of years, possibly. i mean, let's see if john swinney can steady the ship. he certainly so far seems like a much more capable pair of hands. but there are still many, many issues. i'm not going to mention nicola sturgeon, but many issues

swirling around , aren't there? swirling around, aren't there? literally mentioned? i literally just did say her name twice in two sentences. that's fine, and lots of issues swirling around. and i'm not going to mention campervans either. no, no expensive campervans at that, scarlett, what do you make of the snp situation? >> it's a disaster, isn't it? i mean, i mean, there is no question and he's absolutely right. i mean, why are they concentrating on the conservatives, pretending that they're , they're the answer to they're, they're the answer to they're, they're the answer to the conservatives when actually it is it is labour that's looking as though they're going to get more seats. i mean, it's quite incredible. and some of it is because labour have really got their act together and they've got really good people. but frankly some of it is just because the snp are in meltdown . because the snp are in meltdown. and the thing about john swinney is he's been there before and he left because he wasn't. i mean, he might be a good person and he might be, but he he has no charisma . it's just not not working. >> harsh. well, john swinney obviously isn't here to defend
2:42 pm
his policies or indeed his charisma, so we have to move on from that one. i think . thank from that one. i think. thank you very much, all right. i'm dawn neesom i'm still dawn neesom. i've been doing this for a while now. this is still gb news sunday, and there's lots more coming up on today's show, thousands of protesters on the balearic island of majorca have made it very clear they no longer want brits there. but join us to find out why exactly. or that much more to come . this or that much more to come. this is gb news, britain's news

2:49 pm
problem with certain british tourists and the way they treat and certainly not emma is that they go in groups. they basically they drink an awful lot. they go the men go topless and in shorts. they behave badly and in shorts. they behave badly and they abuse their. i mean, you just hear these stories and this is this has gone on for decades about the british. i mean, the drinking doesn't matter. the fact is they can't hold their drink and they just behave appallingly. and what, what majorca is saying is, please, can we have families? it's not the british so much . it's not the british so much. it's not the british so much. it's what they would like. they want families who behave well , want families who behave well, but they are also saying there are too many of us going there. >> but the problem with this one, emma is 40. this is majorca, 45% of the island's gdp, generating more than 16 billion income comes from tourists. >> be careful what you wish for. exactly. it's really tough. i don't like the othering that's going on. you see, i used a woke
2:50 pm
term there. i don't like the othering that's going on. scarlett, when you always talk about, it's always them. it's always the brits that we're not brits. when we go and we find a little unspoilt village in tuscany, or a little beautiful little wherever in france. it's that, you know, that we found that, you know, that we found that little place. we're not brits abroad, it's them. it's the ones that go out and drink loads. the reason they go out and drink loads is because it's cheap to get there. it's hot, which it isn't in this country, and they can have a laugh and they can stay in airbnbs and stay in hotels and have lots of fun. and i get it. i mean, that's what young people go and do.the that's what young people go and do. the problem is, like you say, they want families. they want nice families, they want nice british people, but they don't want the sort of, you know, wet t shirt competitions and the and the and the stag dos and the and the and the stag dos and the and the and the stag dos and the lads cruises and all of that kind of thing. but the thing is, what about london? i'm a londoner. i was born here, brought up here. i don't particularly want all of it. and i'm look japanese—american every, every other nation's tourists cramming into the centre of my town pretty much six months of the year. we don't
2:51 pm
get to choose. that's the way it is. that's just the way it is. wherever you live , there are wherever you live, there are going to be tourists. if you live somewhere popular, if you live somewhere popular, if you live somewhere popular, if you live somewhere where you have beautiful things like big ben and the houses of parliament and the tower of london and all of this stuff, the london eye people want to come to your place and they want to see it, or they want to go somewhere hot and drink and enjoy themselves. it's the you don't get to choose. >> the behaviour isn't it? is. yeah.i >> the behaviour isn't it? is. yeah. i spend quite a lot of time around, you know, westminster, around the places. it's a nightmare . it's a nightmare. >> there are all summer. no, from easter onwards. it's a nightmare . but. but they behave. nightmare. but. but they behave. >> but actually they're perfectly nice . they're not perfectly nice. they're not normally drunk. they don't abuse waiters. i mean, that's the problem is you go to somewhere like majorca, you talk to the local people about what they put up with. yeah. i mean, i remember. >> no, i know ago i was covering the french fishermen's strike, which meant that we that they stopped the ferries from going over. >> oven >> this was before the channel tunnel. and the french tourist office said, will we miss the brits ? well, my memory is brits? well, my memory is somebody's so drunk they
2:52 pm
couldn't even walk to the ferry. and actually , it's not nice for and actually, it's not nice for us to think that that's how brits are being portrayed. of course, it's like football hoougans course, it's like football hooligans and there is no excuse.i hooligans and there is no excuse. i mean, you know, you don't have to go to a nice little village in tuscany, but but actually it's the little villages in majorca and menorca , villages in majorca and menorca, that are saying, no, we don't want, we don't want the drunks. that's the problem. >> not just the behaviour as well. the other problem is that the locals are being priced out as well of course, houses are being sold to second homes and that's what we complain about. >> cornwall in, in yorkshire. i mean that is a that is a global problem about tourism . problem about tourism. >> it's interesting what someone said on here. where have you gone, you. yeah. john john says the march in majorca is because the march in majorca is because the head of march, they marched through the streets where there were tourists, like sitting there having their evening meal, and they were marching through streets with banners saying tourists go home. and, john, you say the march in majorca is a
2:53 pm
racist march against the british. so we should boycott majorca . do you think that's an opfion? >> well, that's what i mean, that that's why i raised that thing about. i don't particularly want my town, which london is my town, flooded with hundreds of thousands of tourists . hundreds of thousands of tourists. but. but i would never say, go home, japanese go home. americans go home. italians go home. you know you can't do that. >> you can't go home. emma at the moment, because i've run out of time, unfortunately. well, i've been dawn neesom still will be after the show. this is jubilee news sunday, but don't go anywhere because plenty more coming up on gb news in just a moment. it's fiery debate with nana akua a 6:00 is neil oliver with free speech nation at seven and the wonderful mark dolan at 9:00. thank you forjoining us 9:00. thank you for joining us this afternoon. really appreciate your time. but don't go anywhere. none is up next. but first, it's the all important sunday afternoon weather for you with a lovely honoun weather for you with a lovely honour. thanks for watching. have a good evening. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boiler oilers, sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello and welcome to your gb

news weather update brought to you by the met office. well, there'll still be plenty of sunshine to end the weekend, but from monday it is going to be turning a little bit cloudier. for today, though, we've still got plenty of high pressure building across the uk which is dominating the weather. notice the frontal system moving into the frontal system moving into the northwest and a slight squeeze in the isobars, so turning a little bit breezier across scotland for the evening, though still plenty of late evening sunshine across central and southern parts of the uk . and southern parts of the uk. turning cloudier from the north, though with some rain and drizzle moving into the northwest, and this could be a little bit heavy across northwestern hills for most, though, quite cloudy and mild night on offer, most towns and cities not really dropping below double digits, but a little bit cooler under the clear spells in the very far south. so a brighter start across the south, but it is generally going to be clouding over through the course of the morning largely dry, but we will start to see some rain and drizzle feed in into northern parts of wales and parts of northern england, and quite a cloudy picture across northern ireland and the rest of northern england , still with the northern england, still with the odd spot of rain and drizzle but
2:55 pm
generally brightening up across parts of aberdeenshire, though, we will start to see some showers move in from the west across the northern isles, so a bit of a mixed picture to start the new working week , but the new working week, but generally it's going to be quite a cloudy picture as well . still, a cloudy picture as well. still, with the odd spot of rain and drizzle moving into the northwest by the time we reach the afternoon, we will start to see some sunshine poke through the cloud, particularly across scotland, where we will see plenty of sunshine there. quite a brisk breeze which is going to take the edge off the temperatures a little bit, and generally temperatures are going to be slightly lower tomorrow. but where you do catch the sunshine in any sheltered spots across scotland, it should still be feeling pleasant and warm now into the evening. still plenty of cloud, which means it's going to remain fairly mild but turning a little bit cooler across those clearer spells in scotland and still plenty of showers feeding into the northern isles and for next week, is generally a cloudier picture. still fairly dry across the south, but some rain and showers in the north and feeling a little bit cooler too . here a little bit cooler too. here >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boiler as sponsors of
