had crashed the economy. well, a snap poll by more in common suggest viewers of last night's debate were more than twice as likely to see penny mordaunt as a better prime minister than rishi sunak. but broader poll suggests she's also at risk of losing her seat in july's election. well, it comes as the prime minister unveils plans to boost home ownership with a pledge to axe stamp duty for some first time buyers. part of london's ultra low emission zone could be scrapped if the conservative party wins next month's election. senior tories say they table a backing drivers bill, which would reverse the london mayor's controversial ulez expansion and rule out any blanket 20 mile an hour zones. the party says the plan would protect drivers from what they call the draconian policies of local labour politicians. latest figures show that 95% of vehicles in the capital are

compliant with clean air standards, up from 39% in 2017. britain's high streets could be in for a boost, with labour set to unveil a plan to breathe new life into shopping strips . it's life into shopping strips. it's expected to include an overhaul of the business rate system to help high street shops compete with online giants . it would with online giants. it would also guarantee access to high street banking services by accelerating the establishment of banking hubs and there would be a crackdown on anti—social behaviour, which labour says would help revitalise local areas. the conservative party says the changes amount to french style union laws, and pointed to its own record of supporting small businesses. three new national parks would be declared as part of a manifesto pledge by the liberal democrats. the party says it would spend around £50 million a year on maintaining the natural areas, with the chilterns in hertfordshire and

buckinghamshire listed as possible locations. there are currently ten national parks in england, and ed davey says the government has failed on its 2019 promise to create a new one. >> well, this is a capital investment over the next five years and you're right, it is a significant investment . but i significant investment. but i believe this is hugely important for our environment. it will help the fight against climate change. it will help the fight against the nature crisis. we need to improve biodiversity. and whether it's local authorities or farmers or the national parks being part of this . this. >> the mayor of the greek island where michael mosley went missing, says there is no chance a search will be called off until he's found. efforts to locate the tv doctor are entering their fourth day today. he was reportedly last seen in cctv footage in the village of peddie last wednesday. the mayor said the area where he is believed to have travelled through is difficult to pass and is only rocks as a search dog, was only able to walk for an hour this morning due to

extremely high temperatures, which topped 40 degrees on the day mr mosley disappeared . lord day mr mosley disappeared. lord david cameron has been targeted by a hoax video call by someone claiming to be the former president of ukraine. the foreign secretary shared messages and spoke to someone who said they were petro poroshenko. the foreign office says he became suspicious soon after the conversation . varne after the conversation. varne and an investigation confirmed that it wasn't genuine . that it wasn't genuine. officials say they're making the news public in case the video recording from the call is manipulated and used to spread misinformation . varne. well, misinformation. varne. well, those are all the top stories. do sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen, or go to gb news. com slash alerts for all of those stories and more. now though, it's back to dawn . it's back to dawn. >> thank you very much, tamsin. right, let's get straight into today's story , shall we.7 now

today's story, shall we? now there's a little chat going on tv last night, wasn't there last night's seven way election debate? prime minister will stand in. penny morden joined in the criticism of her boss rishi sunak, for abandoning d—day veterans in normandy . veterans in normandy. >> why it happened was completely wrong and the prime minister has rightly apologised for that , apologised to veterans for that, apologised to veterans but also to all of us because he was representing all of us. i just want to have left d—day early. i didn't go to d—day. i think what happened was very wrong. i think the prime minister has apologised for that. but what i also think is important is we honour their legacy . oh, interesting. legacy. oh, interesting. >> but amid a bunch of bickering and talking over one another, plaid cymru is running a found time to fault labour's lack of vision . vision. >> i believe that the real frustration in this election is the lack of change on offer from the lack of change on offer from the labour party. whether you like them or not. there was a feeling i was still working as a

as a journalist back in the 90s when tony blair came in, at least there was a feeling of something different happening. >> wow. and never one to go amiss, a reform uk party leader, nigel farage, felt his frustrations with today's political leaders . political leaders. >> i think this has been one of the worst general election campaigns, so far between the two main parties i've ever seen in my lifetime , it isn't just in my lifetime, it isn't just that their leaders are dull or don't clearly, well, very dull. in the case of labour, i mean sort of sort of blair without the flair. i mean, the real leader of the labour party is here tonight on the stage. at least she's got some personal pretty, interesting . pretty, interesting. >> i love looking at angela rayner's face when nigel sang that. right. well, joining me now is broadcaster and journalist mike parry and political commentator matthew stadlen to digest what we all witnessed last night. i mean, you know, we've had two debates in one week, haven't we? we had the leaders debate use the term loosely, and then we had seven people last night on one stage. i did wonder how anyone was going to get a chance to have a

say, coming to you first. matthew, what did you make of it? >> well, i was at wembley , right. >> okay, so i was that's a good start. >> so you completely ignored it. didn't watch it at all. >> i've been catching up on it. >> i've been catching up on it. >> of course i was at wembley watching england's most abject performance ever. performance ever. >> performance ever. >> i think england, sadly, even though we've got rock and hard place there, wasn't it like football or debate and i was quite excited about this team and i thought we had a chance. now i think england have as much of a chance to win the euros as the tories have of winning the general election. dawn. anyway that's there was booing at the end. for goodness sake. this was supposed to be a send off the debate or the football. >> well, it's a very good both. >> well, it's a very good both. >> listen, i don't think that this debate, having caught up with it, i don't think it will change the dial. it won't move the dial, will it? in this election campaign. and i think that's for two reasons. firstly, because as of the two main parties, labour and the tories, their leaders were not there. starmer wasn't there. sue nack wasn't there. >> some would say that's a bit of a blessing. >> well, i saw ian dale, who's a well—known political commentator and radio host and personality,

and radio host and personality, and he was suggesting that what he would have advised , i think, he would have advised, i think, sunak to do yesterday, given the disaster of , sunak to do yesterday, given the disaster of, of sunak to do yesterday, given the disaster of , of the, of the disaster of, of the, of the d—day snubbing, would have been just to say , look, i'm going to just to say, look, i'm going to go i'm going to actually now turn up at this debate and somehow try to wrestle back some of the initiative instead , he of the initiative instead, he had penny morden, who i think a lot of tories would prefer to be the leader of the tory party than the prime minister rishi sunak himself. instead, he had her having to apologise , guys, her having to apologise, guys, for what he'd done and say that what he had done was wrong. and i think if anything last night made things worse for sunak, i'd just say that nigel farage actually is often on this channel. he, according to a poll published in the telegraph's front page of the telegraph website at the moment he won that debate 25, now 25. the question is, if reform were actually to get that sort of showing in the election, how many seats will they win ? is it many seats will they win? is it just that they're going to make the tories haemorrhage seats, or

is it that they actually going to start winning seats themselves? and there's this this talk this week of the crossover moment. there was one poll out and we've got to take polls with a pinch of salt, particularly during the election campaign. >> wrong. >> wrong. >> they may have known to be wrong. this particular poll had the tories on only 19% and reform on 17. if reform creep aheadin reform on 17. if reform creep ahead in the national polls before the general election itself, that will be absolutely fascinating. 25% in a in in a debate with, you know, without starmer and sunak is not enough in and of itself, but it starts to be a little bit significant. >> well, i mean, mike, i must admit i thought it was it was, it was interesting last night. well, it's interesting was it. i thought it was compared to starmer . and sunak is the who starmer. and sunak is the who was nigel said can be dull. >> is there some legal reason why seven parties were , represented? >> you know, is there a legal reason or did they just think, oh, we'll make it different? because to be honest and with no disrespect to politicians,

farage at one end on the left, penny morton and rayner on the right at the other end. and the people in between didn't need to be there. it it was useless. it was only when penny morton, angela rayner or farage suddenly think that it got good. >> you can vote for the green party and the lib dems as well. >> well you can and i said no disrespect to those politicians, but most people didn't know the names of the people in the middle and i couldn't even pronounce two of them. so don't forget, though, this is important, isn't it, that the scottish nationalist party love them or loathe them? >> and i'm not a supporter of them, but they've dominated scottish politics for 17 years, haven't they? and actually, if you remember those victories that blair won, those three election victories, they were built in part, small part. but part nonetheless on massive, massive labour wins in scotland. and that changed. >> no, the thing is, we know who's going to win the next election. so really it's a damage limitation exercise now. i think penny morton and angela rayner against each other, 1 to 1, would be brilliant , rayner against each other, 1 to 1, would be brilliant, and we should have had more of that

last night. you know, i think angela rayner is such an impressive performer. penny morton gave as good as she got and she was as well. now what? i was a bit disappointed with penny morton about is that she has big connections to defence. okay, i've met her many times down on the coast , portsmouth down on the coast, portsmouth and gosport. i've seen her at dues there. she's very impressive indeed. and she should have hit them on the weak spot. and their weak spot. is that the woman standing next to her? angela rayner, would not vote to renew on nuclear submarines in 20. let me come back on that. and that is. no, no, no, it's absolutely true. let me come back on it. she's tried to qualify since and say, well, there was no mention of multilateralism and that's why i wouldn't support it at the time. but that is a weak point inside this group. she should also have kept going on the 20. sorry on the £2,000 tax increase. even jacqui smith, former home secretary for labour, admitted i've seen it twice this week, admit that was a blow that landed on us and so they should have gone on that as well. >> just to come back to mike on that. so just on the £2,000

point, i've this week been very publicly calling that a lie . it publicly calling that a lie. it has been round. doesn't matter. it registered. it's been roundly rebuffed rebutted. that said, you're right. it probably did register. but that just because a lie registers doesn't justify its use. and actually i think, i think as the week has gone on, particularly with the disaster oven particularly with the disaster over, over sunak leaving the d—day commemorations early, this is starting to reflect actually badly on and redound badly on sunak, because people are seeing him as dishonest and not trustworthy on defence, which again, to use that word is important. yeah let's very important. yeah let's very important. let's be absolutely clear about this. first of all, keir starmer has himself been crystal clear that he would use nuclear weapons in defence of. >> and we and we believe him at face. do we believe keir starmer at face considering the number of times he's flip flopped and changed his mind. this was a man who was supporting jeremy corbyn for prime minister. jeremy corbyn did not support nuclear weapons. so what kind of an opinion of starmer?

>> god, i do believe him, but let's remember and remind everyone watching if we ever get to a position where keir starmer has to press the nuclear button, we're all finished anyway, mate. okay, so that is, let's remember that the other thing on defence. >> a tough thing to say. >> a tough thing to say. >> but it's true though, isn't it? if we get a nuclear war, our families, us and everyone watching, we're finished. >> listen, the issue is, matthew, the issue is that the nuclear weapon is a deterrent. it is so it shouldn't. he says he would use it, so it shouldn't be pressed . the button shouldn't be pressed. the button shouldn't be pressed. the button shouldn't be pressed. the button shouldn't be pressed. what i'm saying is, if people like putin and china get the idea that whoever's running this country is not keen on nuclear weapons, it encourages them to try it on with us. and we cannot give that view to the world. >> the absolute nonsense. >> the absolute nonsense. >> no, it's not nonsense. >> no, it's not nonsense. >> it is nonsense. and don't forget that america, of course, stands shoulder to shoulder in any nuclear conflict. but starmer, i do believe him on that. starmer, i do believe him on that . and let's just hope it's that. and let's just hope it's hypothetical. please god, because no one wants nuclear war. let me just carry on on defence. the tories have run down our great british army for

the last 14 years. numbers have gone down tens of thousands going down. i think that we should take no lectures from this tory government about defending. well, we should, because of the armed forces. if you want to talk about what putin thinks, our armed forces are starting to become not the great men and women and themselves who serve, but in terms of how many people are staffing our armed forces, the sort of weaponry have, even whether our actual nuclear weapon in its trials actually works. do you remember a few months ago, we are starting to become a laughing stock? no. >> sunak turned it around . that >> sunak turned it around. that was one of his first pledges. as we're moving towards the election, he wasn't a policy once the election was called, but he's made it absolutely clear defence spending has to go up.and clear defence spending has to go up. and once again , all up. and once again, all starmer's doing is sort of nodding his head. starmer's doing and agreeing with us now. i've seen a poll this morning actually, which has voters worried that angela will be deputy prime minister well, she is going to be deputy prime minister. i'm very worried about that. why? i'm very worried about it because her influence on the party is extremely strong. she's in with the union, she's in with the nec. i don't

think starmer will will be able to resist some of the policies that she will support , which are that she will support, which are on the far left. and again last night she had the stage. it was bad for storm last night because she looked to me like the brain behind labour policy , and a behind labour policy, and a delivery of them is much better than anything. starmer. she's got a very strong personal history, for goodness sake. >> she was a single mum, wasn't she? was a she's already a grandmother. she i think she gave birth when she was 16. we want more working class people and more working class women in our politics. i find her very impressive. i might not agree with everything she she says, but she is not going to be running the labour party less. i think she'll have a very big influence. >> she'll have a very big influence. >> will be running the labour. look at this ruthlessness recently in terms of the selection of the candidates he is, he has made the left wing rump, the hard left of the labour party, spitting fury . labour party, spitting fury. >> i do not hate him more than they hate the tories. i do not believe the hard left has gone away on the labour side. i grip over candidature. i don't believe in grip. listen, how doesit

believe in grip. listen, how does it add up? then? you tell me this, matt, because you're an expert on politics. how does it add up when rachel reeves has plans to grow the economy? but angela rayner has plans to completely stomp ify the economy by introducing more rights for workers that they haven't got. now, i don't believe they need more rights, more green tape, more rights, more green tape, more powers to the unions. all of that is going to absolutely crush the economy and it can't grow absolute rubbish. it can't grow. if you're putting more and more resources into the public. >> gentlemen. okay. >> gentlemen. okay. >> sorry. this is an old fashioned tory argument. we've had tories in power for 14 years. if anyone's tanked the economy, it's been the conservatives. let me make this point very, very clearly. i interviewed a very famous chef recently for my 20 questions podcast, tom kerridge. he probably heard of him, right? yeah huge influence in the culinary world. >> he's not a politician . >> he's not a politician. >> he's not a politician. >> no, he's a labour man. and he recognises in his in his case, he'd be prepared to pay a bit more in tax. and, and i think he would support workers rights because what he wants is he

wants his workforce to be happy. he doesn't want his workforce to be struggling . what he wants is be struggling. what he wants is a happy workforce because that contributes to a successful business. what does successful businesses ultimately contribute to successful, successful economies? mike well, we'd all like to have a happy clappy workforce or happy flippy, but it just people who aren't struggling. >> it doesn't work like that. tom there. tom kerridge will soon change his mind when he finds out that the minimum wage goes up again, and he's got to pay goes up again, and he's got to pay his workers a sum of money which won't sustain his business model. that's what's going to happen, i think, under the new labour policies . and i, i just labour policies. and i, i just don't know how anybody can't see, you know, straight down and blatantly what the plan is. the plan is for labour to come with a huge majority. and then i believe they will enact policies which in my view are bad for the country and which angela rayner is very supportive of. >> we're running out of time, gentlemen. unfortunately, i would actually much rather i've got an hour and a half. i've used you last night to be honest

with you, but i mean just just very, very briefly. neither of you have changed your mind or your opinions after watching last night's debate. do you think this applies just very briefly at a time? to everybody else watching, i was very impressed with penny mordaunt. >> i hadn't previously seen her as a tory leader because she said not to be able to get hold of the detail, but very impressive. last night i liked her a very quickly. >> i'd say this is yet another disaster for sunak. i don't think it will change the can i just mention 10s and i just want to make sure i get her name right. no. agomani the israeli hostage who we all saw on the back of that motorbike being captured by hamas terrorists, has been freed. thank goodness for that. >> absolutely. we'll end on that. happy note. thank you very much. very, very feisty debate there. now throughout the election campaign, we will be heanng election campaign, we will be hearing from people across the united kingdom about what really matters to you today. for the first time, we meet anastasia from leeds. here's what she had to say. >> my name is anastasia tempest. i live in leeds at the moment. the reason why i use a wheelchair is because i've actually got a cerebral palsy

and if it wasn't for the wheelchair, i wouldn't be able to do anything and i want them to do anything and i want them to think about people with disabilities because rarely do they get even the thought of, let alone mentioned . and i am let alone mentioned. and i am very, very concerned about the nhs. the waiting lists are high. i'm also on the waiting list, waiting for a particular procedure. i've been on the waiting list for over three and a half years, and i got a phone call the other day saying, i have to wait another 12 months. it really isn't on. i'm losing the will to live. previously i have actually voted for labour for. i was a member of the labour party, but this time i really don't know who to vote for. i'm inclined to for vote labour because they seem more authentic than the conservatives. i don't feel heard and i, you know, it's gb

news that have given me a voice, but nobody else has. and i just feel forgotten. i mean, if i would anybody notice if i and drop dead? no, i don't think they would . they would. >> incredibly poignant words there from tamsin. now, for all there from tamsin. now, for all the best analysis and opinion on that story and much more, please go to our website, which is gb news.com. now as we cheer ourselves up a bit, get away from politics. it's time for the great british giveaway and your chance to make this summer really special . with over really special. with over £16,000 worth of prizes to won , £16,000 worth of prizes to won, be that's £15,000 cash and a whole host of goodies for you. you have to be in it to win it though. as someone once said. and here's all the details you need to do just that. >> it's our summer spectacular. three top prizes that have to be won. there's cash £15,000 in tax free cash to spend on anything you like this summer, plus a

interruption. but as soon as nigel farage started speaking , nigel farage started speaking, flim was disgusting with his crass comments. also, the moderator was clearly on the left of the process. same old, same old. this debate was worthless and nothing new. and john, meanwhile, says we need a top three debate. starmer sunak and nigel, what do you think? well, i completely agree, to be honest with you, and it was i, you know , look, it was you know, look, it was interesting last night, about the fact that every time nigel spoke, the cameras did seem to pan to one particular chap in the audience who was just like and rolling his eyes. anybody else noticed that? and it only happened when nigel farage was speaking. so it's interesting to see how how you interpret these debates, and let's see what else you've got to say. meanwhile, leo, leo says, bbc was a joke of a former now this format, by the way, with the seven people there was , introduced by tony blair, was, introduced by tony blair, who then refused to take part in

was an usher. joining me now is historian and broadcaster, one of my favourite commentators . of my favourite commentators. rafe heydel—mankoo. rafe, thank you very much for joining me. one week on from your own birthday. happy birthday plus one week. now, what is the duke of westminster's wedding look? terribly posh, terribly lovely. where was it? it was up in chester cathedral. cathedral. but prince harry, who was a good mate, wasn't there? yes >> well, i mean, the thing is that the duke of westminster is one of the few people to actually have a warm relationship with both brothers still. and indeed, he's also the godfather, both to prince george, prince william's son, and to prince archie, prince harry and a rather awkward but given that prince william was attending as an usher , a attending as an usher, a conversation we understand did take place between prince harry and the duke, and it was decided that it would be best if prince harry stayed away, because clearly that would be the story. it would completely overshadow what was essentially the biggest society wedding of the decade. it was as close to a royal wedding as a non—royal wedding could possibly be. i mean, there

are 100,000 flowers planted in the city. a free ice cream was distributed in the centre of town, all paid for by the couple. hundreds of well—wishers waving union flags, very strong police presence , yes. only police presence, yes. only prince william was there from the royal family, which normally you would have had a much bigger royal presence in happier times . royal presence in happier times. obviously no prince harry there. also, the princess of wales, because she's undergoing treatment, also didn't attend , treatment, also didn't attend, even though even though prince george is the godson, of course , george is the godson, of course, it's a school day. he couldn't be there. and the king, whose godfather to the duke of westminster and the queen didn't attend because , of course, attend because, of course, they've just returned from normandy. now, undoubtedly resting. princess eugenie was there as well. and you had 400 strong, attendees there, including , strong, attendees there, including, dan strong, attendees there, including , dan snow, the strong, attendees there, including, dan snow, the bbc broadcaster who is married to the duke's sister, lady edwina. so it was quite, quite an impressive event. >> all in all, this world, isn't it? if you don't mind me saying so. i mean, they all seem to know one another now. i mean, so

the duke of westminster is actually the richest person in the country under the age of 40. yes >> that's hence being dubbed britain's most eligible bachelor , a £10 billion fortune, much of which includes 300 acres of mayfair and belgravia. nice, nice for some. a few des rezzes in there, but he actually has a very down to earth lifestyle. his mother, the dowager duchess, was very sensible. she didn't send him to eton or oxbridge. he went to a primary school and to a state school and then went to newcastle university. so he doesn't have the airs and graces of many other. i bet many dukes they're all fine people, but there's a certain, there's a certain there's a certain there's a certain air to them which he doesn't have. and actually he's keen to move out of london with his wife, miss formerly miss olivia henson, who's got a very good career in sustainable food and so forth. and they're really down to earth , and they want to engage more with chester and make that their seat. and in get engaged in philanthropy, he's given millions of pounds to charities and they're really engaged in

those sorts of endeavours. so what do you make of the two? >> i think it was two women who from just stop oil, who tried to ruin the wedding with the orange, sort of like , what was orange, sort of like, what was it, paint or powder or confetti or whatever it was, but someone's wedding day, regardless of what you think of how wealthy they are or what they personally are doing to the planet, it's someone's wedding day. >> just disgraceful conduct as we've come to expect from just stop oil . and these are yet stop oil. and these are yet another bunch of geriatric elderly extremists . i mean, this elderly extremists. i mean, this is 69 and 73 years each, and you've got to wonder what happened to the old grandparents of yesteryear. you know , of yesteryear. you know, suddenly people are so radicalised now at all ages . radicalised now at all ages. luckily, they were quickly dealt with by the by the police and they were arrested, thankfully. >> do you think harry will be upset about not being there yesterday? i mean, there's all these issues around his security we know about, you know, when he can come to uk and how that is there, how he's looked after now. but do you think he would have been upset that he wasn't there , considering how close there, considering how close they are? yeah. >> well, i mean, you know, i

don't know what harry thinks, but certainly you could easily see why he'd be upset not to be there, because obviously he's very close to the duke of westminster. they've known each other for years. they grew up together, as you said. you know, when you're a prince of the realm, you have a very close circle of friends because you can't trust many people. and so most of his close circle of friends or former friends as well were at this wedding. and he must have been thinking, you know, his circle in america is, of course, even smaller now. he doesn't have a great network, and he did once have that. so understandably, you think he perhaps will be reminiscing about happier days of past. but of course, he's far too busy . i of course, he's far too busy. i think dealing with his own new appeal that he's got. i'm just going to say he does spend an awful lot of time in court these days. >> probably more time than donald trump. has he lost the latest appeal or is it still so? >> he's so he's just we've just found out that last month the court of appeal granted him the right to appeal the decision of the high court to reject his case against his majesty's government, where the government decided that as he's not a working royal, his his security

will be lowered to a lower level because as a non—working royal, it's not fair for the british taxpayer to give you the same sort of security that a working royal would receive . that's why royal would receive. that's why the king is paying for prince andrew's security. for example . andrew's security. for example. he that's another. he appealed. he that's another. he appealed. he appealed this decision on five grounds. the court of appeal rejected four of those, but said, actually, the committee that deals with security didn't follow its own written policies. so there is now a case there . if harry wins, now a case there. if harry wins, it means he won't be liable to pay it means he won't be liable to pay the £1 million fee that he has. so there's a lot on the on stake here. >> when you couldn't even tap the duke of westminster up now 20. rafe, thank you so much as always. that's rafe heydel—mankoo there, and bringing us up to date on what's happening on planet royal now, portsmouth's armed forces day event returns to southsea common part of a week of commemorations for d—day at this special celebration for portsmouth's armed forces day. it will involve parades, music, military vehicles, parachute jumps and a whole lot more. joining me now

is our south—west of england reporter, jeff moody. geoff, we've had a wonderful couple of days thinking about, you know, d—day and all those people that gave so much so that we can enjoy the lives we have now. what's happening with you today ? what's happening with you today? >> well, this is an annual event . it happens every year. at the same time. it's the idea of the eventis same time. it's the idea of the event is that the people of portsmouth can, salute and say thank you to the armed forces that are such an important part of the community down here. there are several naval bases in portsmouth. and of course, this is where the hms victory is proudly on display and where the mary rose, the henry vii's warship that was, came out of the channel back in the early 80s. that's where that is housed as well. so there's a huge military connection, naval connection down here in portsmouth. and today is all about celebrating that. but of course, it does have a very special resonance this year , special resonance this year, because it comes at the very end of a week of commemorations for the 80th anniversary of d—day.

well, there's plenty of events going on here at the moment. there's a fun fair behind me. there's a fun fair behind me. there's the wafting smell of burgers you can climb up a little climbing frame if you wish to as well. there's a band performing as well, and we're going to see a parachute drop fairly shortly, and the big event will be the red arrows, and that kicks off at around 3:20 this afternoon. apparently you can see that from right across the isle of wight too, and also from parts of the new forest. i'm hearing that people are having parties out on the beaches, along the new forest and on the isle of wight so they can get a good old view of the red arrows . there's a really red arrows. there's a really british feel to it today, a really proud feel too, as we celebrate this wonderful heritage that we have and that is so important to the people of portsmouth here. it's a free event. come along to southsea. any time between now and i think the event carries on right the way through the afternoon. i'll be here throughout the day though. reporting for gb news. >> that's lovely jeff moody, thank you very much. joining us

gbnews.com/yoursay say. >> welcome back to gb news saturday with me dawn neesom on your tv, online and on digital radio now manchester city have support from three clubs after declaring war on the premier league . it emerged earlier this league. it emerged earlier this week that city would battle the top flight the organisation's commercial rules. pretty much understands city are unhappy with the current rules in place, with the regulations limiting how much companies linked to club owners can spend on sponsorship deals. do keep up at the back there because aidan magee is here now to explain exactly what's going on. >> on. >> so good afternoon. first of all, dawn looking very lovely as well. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> the summer barbecue, which i believe you are. >> yes i am, i am, yeah. less more more on that later i'm sure. so manchester city have basically i wouldn't call it a count. it's almost counter suing the premier league in a way, because the premier league are accusing them of bloating sponsorship deals in order to inflate their income . and if you inflate their income. and if you

inflate their income. and if you inflate your income under proper profit and sustainability rules, then you've got a better chance of passing the threshold because you've got to make your income look big and your outgoings look small, and you can't spend more than you're earning. that's the gist of it anyway, right? >> well, so sorry i said well explained. >> yes, thank you, she says, looking like she's still none the wiser. sorry, sorry. >> so just play football. >> so just play football. >> but yeah, but no , you have to >> but yeah, but no, you have to bloat your income. you have to. it's your in your interest to make your income look as big as possible. and your outgoings are small as possible. to show that you're sustainable. now, manchester city are probably realised that they've fallen foul on of this some of their deals. when i was covering the club, i have to say they did raise a few eyebrows. they did look a little bit. we didn't know the value of them, but the rumours we'd heard, such as the valuation of their sponsorship of their stadium, for example, i mean, it was somewhere around it was valued somewhere around what, what arsenal's was. and at the time city weren't in the champions league. they weren't evenin champions league. they weren't even in the top six and they weren't in london. and so you wonder how they're given, given that they're a strong association with the company itself is sponsor them. it did look a bit sus and that's one of the deals that's under under scrutiny. now city are

challenging the right through the associated party transactions rule within the premier league's rule book. they're challenging the premier league clubs right to scrutinise that deal. and the problem here, though, dawn, is that these are rules set down by the premier league, of which manchester city is a member, a very active member, a very important member. they've been the premier league for every year since the 1992, since its inception, with the exception, i think, of about four years between 80, between 96 and 2000 and again in 2001, 2002. they weren't in it. apart from that, i mean, they've won it. they've won it, what, seven times or whatever it is. >> so yeah, like they can't stop winning. >> so that that that's the issue here. there's going to be a meeting this week. i don't think that the, the contents of that are going to be particularly transparent. but what does have to present what it does have the potential to do is to prolong the 115 charges. and the outcome of that. and i wonder whether this might be a tactic by manchester city to maybe just prolong the whole process us even longer than it has already. don't forget, it's been over over a long, nearly 18 months now since the charges were brought . brought. >> should we talk about some

aspect of football they do understand why not, england? >> yeah, well, not many people understood that performance last night . no, look, look. one shot night. no, look, look. one shot on target. i mean, look , if you on target. i mean, look, if you ask an ex—pro, they'll say that ask an ex—pro, they'll say that a lot of those players last night on show, i think probably around seven. by my estimation, seven of those players will start the euros next sunday against or sorry tomorrow a week against or sorry tomorrow a week against serbia on june the 16th in gelsenkirchen. >> we're playing iceland . >> we're playing iceland. >> we're playing iceland. >> i mean, number 72 in the world. it has more sales than it has footballers. >> well, we worked out when they beat when they knocked england out of the euro, euro 2016, we calculated that they were the size of not even the size of croydon. exactly. yeah. yeah. i mean croydon was going for city status at the time. so let's not underestimate croydon. but, having said that , 72in the having said that, 72in the world, one shot on target, seven of those players i think have a chance of starting john stones injured at half time. we don't think it's anything serious, but the fact that he clutches his ankle, gives a bit of a headache to gareth southgate again. the defence the defence looks quite deficient anyway , i look at the deficient anyway, i look at the squad going into that, that tournament. i think that the best chances for them to attack

and hope to outscore the opposition, because your defence is weak and because or weaker than it would be normally , and than it would be normally, and you've got a plethora of attacking players, so many, so much so that you can afford to leave out top players like grealish and maddison. but he's just not that kind of manager. >> i've got my wall chart and i'm, you know, half a mind not to bother sticking it up now just quickly can we talk about, rob burrows and the tributes rob b urrow. >> burrow. >> yes that's right. well look the rugby league challenge cup final , the betfred challenge is final, the betfred challenge is happening today. and warrington wolves take on wigan warriors at wembley. now it's going to kick off not at 3 pm. but at 307. that's because rob burrow wore the number seven with such distinction for leeds rhinos, winning two challenge cups and eight super league titles. this was the fellow who who lost his battle with motor neurone disease last week. he brought out the absolute best in his in his friend kevin sinfield. and they're going to celebrate his life today like nothing else, which is nice to end on a nice note, isn't it? >> thank you very much, aiden. well, i'm dawn neesom this is gb news saturday. there's loads more coming up on today's show,

but the all important thing is what is the weather doing this weekend? let's find out from marco. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello. here's your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. we hold on to mixed weather conditions across the uk over the next few days. some sunshine, some showers and chilly temperatures too. for the time of year. low pressure is sitting towards the north—east of the uk, high pressure out towards the west that's generating that northerly flow with weather fronts embedded in the flow, enhancing showers at times. so looking at the detail for this evening and through the overnight period, we'll hold on to showers towards the north and northwest of the uk, merging later to give some longer spells of rain, particularly across parts of northern ireland and the southwest of scotland. by sunday morning . quite blustery here morning. quite blustery here too, but with the cloud rain, the wind here temperatures do hold up, whereas further south it's becoming clear. hold up, whereas further south it's becoming clear . and it's becoming clear. and although temperatures in towns and cities holding up near double figures, it will turn quite chilly in rural spots

could see a touch of grass frost. in fact, by sunday morning, with temperatures in rural spots here locally down into low single figures. so we're heading into sunday morning. we do get off to a sunny start across the bulk of the southern part of the uk. much of southern england, wales and midlands seeing lots of sunshine, but it will be quite chilly, those temperatures gradually climbing through the morning. then we run into an area of cloud and some showery outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, northwest england and the southwest of scotland, with sunshine and showers further north—east across the northeast of scotland, coupled with quite a gusty north to north westerly winds during the remainder of sunday, cloud will gradually start to push its way south across the uk. so after a sunny start in the south, we'll see more in the way of cloud developing here as we head into the afternoon. those showery outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, southwest scotland edging into northern england and parts of wales as we head into the afternoon on sunday and we hold on to sunshine and showers further north and northeast towards the northeast of scotland, and here to quite chilly with that gusty northwest wind. temperatures are best up to 20 celsius towards the southeast of the uk. heading into sunday evening. those showery bursts of rain continue

south eastwards into other parts of england and wales. i think the far south of the uk should stay fine and we hold on to clearer skies and showers towards the far north of the uk too, as for the start of next week, well, a case of sunshine and showers once again and temperatures still disappointing for the time of year. >> looks like things are heating up boxt boiler dollars. sponsors of weather on gb news. >> thank you very much, marco . >> thank you very much, marco. and there's loads more coming up on today's show. new research shows that over half of all carers have elderly relatives. they have neglected their own health and wellbeing, with 55% struggling with mental health. but how do we fix britain's care crisis? all of that and much more to come. this is gb news, britain's news channel. don't go too far. we'll see you

in a residential neighbourhood of al nuseirat in the central gaza strip . penny mordaunt gaza strip. penny mordaunt clashed with labour's deputy leader over issues including nhs waiting lists and the economy, in a televised debate last night , the conservative leader of the house of commons sparred with angela rayner during the debate, which featured representatives from seven parties. both were reprimanded for speaking over each other, whilst miss rayner received applause after claiming former prime minister liz truss had crashed the economy . had crashed the economy. >> vie keir starmer confirmed this earlier this week. they are going to put up your taxes by £2,000, by £2,000 per working anymore. >> you're using you're using a figure that's been criticised by the uk statistics watchdog costings and labour's own stand by your record and you'll see record levels of taxes on working people . working people. >> 26 separate tax hikes in the last parliament as well a snap

poll by more in common suggest viewers of last night's debate were more than twice as likely to see penny mordaunt as a better prime minister than rishi sunak , but broader polls suggest sunak, but broader polls suggest she's also at a risk of losing her seat in july's election. >> it comes as the prime minister unveils plans to boost home ownership, with a pledge to axe stamp duty for some first time buyers. shadow business secretary jonathan reynolds told gb news that housing affordability should be a bigger priority. what labour has put forward in this election are things that would make a meaningful change to people's lives, whether that is building homes so people have a decent place to live, giving more security to renters. >> so if you can't afford to buy your own home, you've got that security. at the same time, giving people a chance on things like the economy . so we use the like the economy. so we use the transition, the energy transition, the energy transition to get good jobs of the future. out of that, real differences in tax and spend between, say, higher fees for private education, to put that money into more teachers in the

state. >> three new national parks will be declared as part of a manifesto pledge by the liberal democrats, the party says it would spend around £50 million a year on maintaining the natural areas, with the chilterns and hertfordshire and buckinghamshire listed as possible locations. there are currently ten national parks in england, and sir ed davey says the government has failed on its 2019 promise to create a new one. >> one. >> well, this is a capital investment over the next five years and you're right, it is a significant investment. but i believe this is hugely important for our environment. it will help the fight against climate change. it will help the fight against the nature crisis. we need to improve biodiversity. and whether it's local authorities or farmers or the national parks being part of this . this. >> the mayor of the greek island where michael mosley went missing, says there's no chance the search will be called off until he's found. efforts to locate the tv doctor are entering their fourth day today. he was reportedly last seen in

though, it's back over to dawn . though, it's back over to dawn. >> thank you very much, tamsin. and great news about those hostages. i'd like to correct matthew stadler and said they had been released. they were in fact rescued. so great news for your saturday afternoon. now let's get straight into the rest of the day's story, shall we? dunng of the day's story, shall we? during last night's seven way election debate, seven of them, prime minister, stand in, penny morgan joined in the criticism of her boss, rishi sunak, for abandoning d—day veterans in normandy . normandy. >> what happened was completely wrong and the prime minister has rightly apologised for that , rightly apologised for that, apologised to veterans but also to all of us because he was representing all of us. i just want to have left d—day early. i didn't go to d—day. i think what happened was very wrong. i think the prime minister has apologised for that. but what i also think is important is we

honour their legacy . honour their legacy. >> well, amid a bunch of bickering and talking over one another, plaid cymru is run out . another, plaid cymru is run out. found time to thwart labour's lack of vision . lack of vision. >> i believe that the real frustration in this election is the lack of change on offer from the lack of change on offer from the labour party, whether you like them or not. there was a feeling i was still working as a as a journalist back in the 90s when tony blair came in, at least there was a feeling of something different happening and never one to do anything quietly reform uk party leader nigel farage spelt out his frustrations with today's political leaders. >> i think this has been one of the worst general election campaigns so far between the two main parties i've ever seen in my lifetime. it isn't just that their leaders are dull or don't clearly. well, very dull. in the case of labour, i mean sort of, sort of blair without the flair. i mean, the real leader of the labour party is here tonight on the stage. at least she's got some personality. i must admit, i do love angela rayner's face

when she. >> when nigel was saying that, i must admit. and i did wonder what he was going to say when she's got some personality. thank god he chose that phrase. joining me now is a gb news political correspondent, katherine forster, to analyse what we saw stroke endured last night . i what we saw stroke endured last night. i mean, what we saw stroke endured last night . i mean, catherine, seven night. i mean, catherine, seven of them on a stage, lots of shouting going on. what did you make of it ? make of it? >> well there was, yeah, but i think it went rather better than it might have done because , it might have done because, seven politicians, all desperate to get their message across dunng to get their message across during a general election campaign. what could possibly go wrong ? michelle hussain, the wrong? michelle hussain, the host, i think, did manage to do a pretty effective job, but, really, i thought the fact that angela rayner and penny mordaunt ended up standing next to each other and that was drawn by lot, so that was accidental , a lot of so that was accidental, a lot of the time they were pretty much having a row amongst themselves, weren't they? both big figures

in their parties are both, not to be messed with, so it was largely about the two of them with various interjections from the others. particularly effective, of course, from nigel farage. but what struck me more than anything was just how astonishing penny mordaunt's words were on the prime minister. this is, you know, a member of his cabinet, but she could have said, look, he's apologised . and it was it was apologised. and it was it was a mistake. she could have talked about his record on veterans . about his record on veterans. the government has done a lot of work with veterans. they've got johnny mercer as veterans minister. and in defence generally , you know, the prime generally, you know, the prime minister has made a big play of saying they're going to increase defence spending so she could have highlighted the government's record , but she government's record, but she didn't. she said several times what happened was wrong,

didn't. she said several times what happened was wrong , what what happened was wrong, what happened was very wrong, etcetera , etcetera. really quite etcetera, etcetera. really quite extra ordinary. of course, i think it's worth bearing in mind that she is somebody who might have got the top job had things gone a little bit differently in a couple of years ago, before liz truss and then before rishi sunak got it, she wants to lead the conservative party after the next election . so i think a lot next election. so i think a lot of what we saw from her last night was basically her setting out her stall to be the next leader. so she's mentioning that, of course , she used to be that, of course, she used to be defence secretary. she's in portsmouth north, etcetera, setting out her credentials . but setting out her credentials. but i think it just is a measure of the state that the conservative party is in because, you know, there's pretty much an acceptance. i can't remember the last time i spoke to a conservative mp who actually thinks they have any chance of winning the next election. they pretty much all accept that it's

over. pretty much all accept that it's over . and the only thing to be over. and the only thing to be decided is how many of them will be left at the end. but you know, penny mordaunt clearly positioning herself for that job. but it's by no means guaranteed that she's even going to be in the running, because, to be in the running, because, to according these increasingly catastrophic mrp polls that we're getting for the conservative party she's actually projected to lose her seat. >> so interesting times ahead. thank you very much . katherine thank you very much. katherine forster there, analysing , last forster there, analysing, last night's debate, seven way debate , where penny mordaunt, well , , where penny mordaunt, well, not to put too fine a point on it. threw her own boss under the bus, didn't she, over his d—day disappearance, right. joining me now is gb news, host of the saturday five albie amankona and a journalist and broadcaster, jj anas sarwar obe. thank you very much. a newbie, aren't you? first time on the channel, newbie . absolutely to play with. newbie. absolutely to play with. and you've coordinated marvellously in your lovely

beige outfits. now, if i wore that colour i'd just look like my mum, which i love. my mum, but it's not a good look on women of a certain age. two lovely young men looking gorgeous now. we have to talk politics. we have to talk about debate. last night, coming to you first. jj, what did you make of it? >> i don't think anyone who watched that is going to have changed their mind. >> if you're a labour supporter beforehand, you're not going to have now seen that debate and thought, oh, i'm going to change and vote for someone else. so what's the same for the tories? >> well, i guess the point really is just to try and score a few more points and try and get the media on your side. >> i thought the most impressive person yesterday was stephen flynn, someone people. >> i'll be. >> i'll be. >> it's true. >> it's true. >> it's true. >> it was very impressive people. >> a lot of people would have never heard him speak before. he made some salient points. he seemed like a sensible politician. meanwhile, you've got penny mordaunt pointing a finger, shouting over people. it was just kind of chaotic. >> stephen flynn, just to be clear, is the, snp representative in westminster and a lot of people have been saying online that they thought

he was, oh, there you go. he was quite yet not so funny now is it? >> twitter isn't real life is what i would say. >> however, not many of us can vote for him to be true. >> so exactly. i almost thought when it came to the parties that were there plaid cymru by the snp, i don't really know why they were there , because you they were there, because you can't vote for them unless you are in wales or or unless you are in wales or or unless you are in wales or or unless you are in scotland. >> i think really the focus of the debate was on angela rayner, penny mordaunt and nigel farage. of course, this was his first major debate since coming back as the leader of the reform party and standing in clacton . party and standing in clacton. it's looking like he might well win for his eighth time of trying to become an mp in clacton. so best of luck to nigel if that is who you are going to be voting for in that. >> were you in a particular constituency? >> i was actually impressed by him. >> why? >> why? >> and i think i think what's concerning what will be concerning what will be concerning for the conservatives and conservative central office is that there will be a lot of people on the centre of british politics who will have watched that debate yesterday and

thought there wasn't very much that i disagreed with that nigel said. >> i see the thing is, you don't sound like you were impressed with the telegraph today . with the telegraph today. >> have him, you know, a miles ahead of everyone else in the debate. i wasn't they would, wouldn't they? >> of course they would. yeah i wasn't overly impressed with him. i won't judge his performance by the audience. i feel like that audience, as we've seen in previous debates, was very left leaning. >> it didn't feel . >> it didn't feel. >> it didn't feel. >> yeah. i'm. precisely, but i don't think he nigel farage coming back into politics. great. we need some more characters in politics like him. absolutely. but whether he stands or doesn't stand, the tories are going to be obliterated. so all all he gains from this, he gets to run, and he can now say, i'm the guy who helped destroy the tories. but that would have happened. whether it was him or whether it was twice in charge. so it's i feel farage being back more, more of a vanity thing. it's more of a vanity thing. it's more for his ego. >> i agree with that though. our albee, the fact that, you know, if it was farage or richard tice who was formerly the leader before farage stepped up to the plate this week, do you think

farage personally makes difference? >> of course he personally makes a difference. all you have to do is look at the polls to see that he's personally made a difference. >> there are some polls putting the reform party and the conservative party neck and neck, both at about 18% in the polls. that was not the case under richard tice. i won't be voting for the reform party. i'll be voting for the conservative party. but there'll be many centre right people who watch that debate last night thinking, nigel actually sounds like a kind of person i want to vote for. the question is, will all the first past the post political system actually mean that that delivers one, two, three, 4 or 5 seats and in line with the polling? and that is really the problem . really the problem. >> and there you go. and there you have it with farage. if you think farage is this messiah is going to help people go from tories to reform all that's going to do is leave the door open for labour to sweep, sweep, sweep the board. which then makes me think, why is farage doing this? then he'd rather have labour in power than the tories. is that what he'd rather? if he wants to, if he wants to seriously make effect, he should be running for the

tories, not for reform. >> okay. were you impressed by by angela rayner last night? i mean, nigel said, look, basically she is running the labour party. >> no, i thought i thought angela actually was, was disappointing last night and i quite, i quite like angela rayner as a performer. >> i always thought when she did pmqs instead of keir starmer is always a lot more entertaining. i remember there was one pmqs where it was angela rayner versus boris johnson, and i just thought it was one of the best pmqs i ever saw. i thought last night she was a bit more muted. >> i think it was potentially because of her positioning right next to penny mordaunt and penny mordaunt. really was on the attack, really out there on the attack, really out there on the attack . attack. >> but interestingly, if you look at the polling that more in commandeered on the audience of the of the bbc debate last night, nigel won i think by 25. but in second place was angela raynen but in second place was angela rayner, i think at 19. so the pubuc rayner, i think at 19. so the public clearly have different opinions to me, regardless of anyone being on that stage last night, do you think the fact that our, you know, the prime

minister came home from d—day early, so regardless of what anyone said last night, do you think the fact that rishi did what my mum and many other veterans and their loved ones out in normandy did, do you think that has the final nail in the coffin? >> i think even if it stayed there all day, sunak is not going to be the next prime minister of this country. he's going to be he's going to be booted out with his party. i think it's despicable that he left the d—day, event early. i don't know who he has advising him, who is making his diary, who on his team. which idiot said to him, you're not boss, let's dip out this early to go and do an interview that's going to go out next week. absolutely shambolic and poor from him and his team. he has apologised and i think in a week's time, two weeks time, it'll be forgotten. by weeks time, it'll be forgotten. by the time people come to vote. that will be forgotten about, think. >> albert, do you think it'll be forgotten about? i mean, my mum, who is out in normandy, was out there for two days. she's 83, she's still very angry about this.

>> people are furious about this. i was on i was on another show last night, yesterday which took callers and every single caller that called in on this topic was absolutely furious with the prime minister leaving the d—day commemorations early . the d—day commemorations early. my the d—day commemorations early. my sister came back from a houday my sister came back from a holiday yesterday. she's not really into politics to explain the situation. the first thing she said was that it's absolutely despicable . all this absolutely despicable. all this has cut through. make no bones about it. it has cut through. and i do actually think it's going to be something which people remember because it's something we're still talking about 24, 48 hours after the event has happened . and it was event has happened. and it was a big feature. in fact, the first 20 minutes of the debate actually, indeed was pretty much about the d—day commemorations and rishi sunak coming back home early and penny morden throwing him under the bus. >> but i'll tell you why. i'll tell you why. we've forgotten about when it comes to the voting day, because between now and july 4th, the tories will make many more mistakes . labour make many more mistakes. labour will do a couple of gaffes, but the tories are a sinking ship and they're going to start infighting. they'll be bigger headunes infighting. they'll be bigger headlines that are going to come out of it and people will forget

about what happened because politics, people have short term memories. in politics. we're talking about nigel farage now being this, he could he could finally get in on his eighth attempt with only a year ago. people were saying, farage is a man who's ruined britain because of brexit. now suddenly people are saying, no, no, we need nigel farage. people have short term memories when it comes to politics. >> i'm afraid it wasn't nigel farage who actually initiated the referendum that was david cameron, by the way. >> so yeah, lord david cameron , >> so yeah, lord david cameron, thank you. >> david cameron, who did actually manage to stay out in normandy. so i mean, you know, the one, the one quote i remember from last night and the one that got the biggest round of applause was a middle aged lady called linda in the audience who asked the question, why is it that when parties want your vote, they promise things, but when you're elected, nothing gets done? and there wasn't a single person on that stage from any party that could answer that question? yeah, well that's politics. >> oh , it doesn't have to be politics. >> we just need to be picking better candidates, electing better candidates, electing better politicians. i think the candidates election process in both parties over the past couple of weeks has been

absolutely appalling. whether or not that's the way faiza shaheen was treated in in chingford and woodford green or indeed the way that richard holden was parachuted into billericay, i think the candidate selection process needs to be overhauled in both parties. >> gentlemen, there's plenty of opportunity . you could still put opportunity. you could still put your names forward, i believe. >> i think richard tice actually would would have been a better leader than farage. i know richard personally. i think he's a good man at his heart. that's going to partition. i'd like to see on that note, we have to leave it, albie amankona and jj anna sewell, thank you very much. excellent. first time, and thank you for joining much. excellent. first time, and thank you forjoining me. but thank you for joining me. but for more debate on that and analysis and opinion , go to our analysis and opinion, go to our website, gbnews.com. now do you want cheering up. it's not politics. promise. it's time for the great british giveaway and your chance to make this summer really special . over £16,000 really special. over £16,000 worth of prizes to be won. you could just disappear for the whole summer. ignore all the politics. that's £15,000 cash and a whole load of trees. you have to be in it to win it though. i can't believe i read that out, here's all the details

unbelievable that either these two could be running the country in the event of the pm being indisposed. at least. farage speaks and says , i take issue speaks and says, i take issue with that because it's very easy and lots of people have been doing it. having a go at the penny morton and angela rayner, the two main women there, and especially about penny's hair. and we always do that with women politicians. and i have to admit, it does really annoy me slightly. i mean, you know, the women doing a tough job in a man's world. so let's whether you agree with their politics or not, by the way, and yeah, mind you, gladys, you might have a point here. gladys. gladys says. i thought, pointing to another point is better and pointing to another person is bad manners. they should give a good example to and be fair, penny was doing a lot. one thought. i thought she was going to poke angela rayner actually in the ribs. i don't think she did though. but you can join in this debate. it's very easy and lots you have some very, very frisky comments about our politicians, but that's what this is about. so. gbnews.com forward slash yourself to have your say in

the stories she tells me would absolutely. well, i mean, they are just horrifying , doctor are just horrifying, doctor jackie, i'm going to come to you first, if that's okay. can you tell us a bit more about the carers room, what it's about? what do you do and how do you help people? >> so thank you. dawn, the currents room is an online resource. it's digital platform, andifs resource. it's digital platform, and it's designed, entirely for people who are caring for elderly parents. we call them carers . and, you know, whether carers. and, you know, whether you've got a parent, an elderly relative, and you're caring for them in their home, in your home, or you're supporting them in a care home, we've got information, essential information, essential information, whether it's financial safety, medical information that will help you. and we've also got a caring community full of people who've been there who know exactly what you're being, dealing with and what you're going through, jackie, if i can call you jackie, if i can call you jackie, how have we got into this situation , karen, where, this situation, karen, where, you know that caring in, in the uk at the moment is looked down

on so much is not considered. and we don't we're never going to sort the nhs out, are we. unless we start with our care system first. why is it so neglected ? neglected? >> absolutely, just in this country i don't think we do value care and we need to. the problem we've got nowadays is that we've got an ageing society. people are living longer than ever before. there's more of them. and they're living with conditions that make it difficult for them to live independently. so they need more care and the care system just isn't serving them. and friends and family are having to fill the gap amidst everything else they're doing . they're doing. >> louise, can we come to you now? you were a carer to your parents, can you just paint a portrait of what it was like for you?! portrait of what it was like for you? i mean, you're a career woman. you're a working woman to suddenly be thrust into this situation of caring for your elderly parents. >> so i called it my triangle of hell. >> i was working in one county,

living in another and travelling 300 miles up north to look after my parents, and they were requesting things so regularly, you know , every day there were you know, every day there were many phone calls. >> i could be in a meeting. >> i could be in a meeting. >> you know, having a discussion like this, and then i can see my phone's ringing. >> they need something now. >> they need something now. >> and it was incredibly stressful . stressful. >> i felt like i wasn't doing a good job for anybody . good job for anybody. >> and this is the problem, isn't it, louise? i mean, you know , the statistics here about know, the statistics here about sort of like carers neglecting their own physical and mental health. what effect did it have on you? sort of like tearing yourself apart trying to, you know, do your job and care for your parents. yes. >> it was incredibly damaging in every way , i put myself at risk every way, i put myself at risk on the motorway. i'm embarrassed to say i put other people at risk because i couldn't couldn't rationalise it. >> they were so desperately in need. >> they needed my attention and although i was working with my brother, we did it together when they needed me. >> i just couldn't leave them .

>> i just couldn't leave them. >> i just couldn't leave them. >> i just couldn't leave them. >> i felt such a huge obligation to them , and it meant that i to them, and it meant that i neglected absolutely everything else and i couldn't see sense. >> i wish that the parents room had been available to me then to have let off some steam, and to have let off some steam, and to have shared with other people the pressures that we're facing. >> i say it all the time on the parents room now and jackie coming back to you, i mean, you know , we are hearing a lot in know, we are hearing a lot in the political debates. >> about the nhs and what the plans are for the nhs from pretty much every party. but but the care crisis we are facing isn't considered sexy enough to actually be one of the main talking points. what do you want to hear from our politicians in the run up to this election ? the run up to this election? >> well, you're right, they're not talking about it. i want to hear them talking about it. i want them to acknowledge that we've got this growing proportion of the population, our future , in need of support our future, in need of support and care. and it's not just about the nhs. it's not even

just about care homes. it's about care at home. it's about preventing the need for care. it's about joining it up, and it's about removing the financial aspect of care. when you're dealing with someone that's struggling and you're struggling with what's, you know, just as we've heard louise was, you shouldn't have to be going through forms and sorting out the money side of things on top of everything else . top of everything else. >> what is what's the one thing that you know , if any of the that you know, if any of the parties, whoever gets into power could do that would really help sort this situation out. >> but certainly like to see the administrative burden removed from carers , i think having to from carers, i think having to fill in all the forms, there are certain things that should just happen automatically if you are wheelchair bound, you should just be given a blue badge. if you've got dementia and you can't support yourself day and night, you should just automatically get attendance allowance . it shouldn't be a allowance. it shouldn't be a series of grappling for support, trying to find support , but it trying to find support, but it should all be a coordinated package right across every

aspect of life that you need help with. >> louise , you've been there. >> louise, you've been there. you've actually gone through this situation as you say, you know, at a personal cost to yourself . how do you feel when yourself. how do you feel when yourself. how do you feel when you hear our politicians not talking about the crisis we have in the care community at the moment? >> i think it's just such an enormous issue. >> so we need to be looking more long term. that's really important and we need to be looking at prevention . looking at prevention. >> as jackie said earlier, people are living longer, but not necessarily well. >> so we need to shorten the time that elderly people are living in ill health by acting earlier in terms of prevention. >> and louise, if you hadn't have been there, i know you had your brother as well. you were working together, but if you hadnt working together, but if you hadn't have been there, what do you think would have happened to your parents? >> i'd like to think, my dad would wonder, you know, he would often ask for the tv to put on the right channel for him. >> he needed to watch newcastle play >> he needed to watch newcastle play , but he couldn't do it. play, but he couldn't do it. >> he couldn't get the tv on the

right channel and they'd ring and they'd say, tv's broken, tv wasn't broken . they just wasn't broken. they just couldn't work the remote anymore. >> but if you couldn't get the tv on, then he was more likely to wander. >> so actually , the pressures >> so actually, the pressures that would have been placed on the public service would have been greater if i hadn't been able to help, because he would have been out. he would have been, you know, potentially in a ditch or something. so i think there would have been more calls on them. there was occasions when they called the police because they thought somebody was in the house and things like that. if we weren't there to provide the reassurance , then it provide the reassurance, then it would have it would have been, a greater burden on public services. >> and jackie, as i said, one of my best friends worked as a carer in a care home. and some of the stories she tells me i wouldn't want to repeat on her because they are too horrific for a saturday afternoon, what more can we do to support people actually in the care industry or the people like louise was at home struggling to cope with their parents. >> so, people in the care industry, they need better wages, they need better career

structure. we need to have standards for care. similar to those that we have in the nhs. nurses have a full career , nurses have a full career, pathway. it's not the same for carers and certainly unpaid carers and certainly unpaid carers like louise aren't getting any help to understand what the needs of their elderly relatives are and how they can deal with them. they're just fumbling along and learning it as they go. and as you've heard, the, result is that is that, you know, elderly people are going to a&e unnecessarily. they're falling, they're suffering ill health unnecessarily. so, you know, the burden on the nhs grows. >> jackie, i'm sure there are many , many people listening many, many people listening today who are in louise's situation. how do they get in touch with your organisation action? >> well, certainly i think there's about 4 million in louisa's situation. we're not talking about a small number, please go online, log into kerensky uk or just search for carers. you'll find us. brilliant. >> thank you very much for joining me this afternoon,

ladies . joining me this afternoon, ladies. really joining me this afternoon, ladies . really appreciate your ladies. really appreciate your time. that's doctor jackie, jackie grey, founder of the council, and louise thompson who was in that situation caring for her parents. thank you both so much for joining her parents. thank you both so much forjoining me. and a huge issue there that none of our political parties seem that that keen on tackling, do they? why why we never got the nhs out until we sort caring out . right. until we sort caring out. right. i'm dawn neesom and this is gb news saturday and there's lots more coming up on today's show. a woman who allegedly inspired the character of martha in the thriller series baby reindeer is suing netflix in her lawsuit, she argues that netflix spread what she calls brutal lies about her to over 50 million viewers. wow. all of that and much more to come, you're with gb news, britain's news oh, and oh,and also have. oh, yeah, taylor swift. evidently more coming

>> we are proud to be gb news the people's channel. and as you know, we always love to hear your views. now, there's a new way of getting in touch with us

experience of comedian and writer richard gant, but after the show became a hit , he asked the show became a hit, he asked viewers not to speculate over its oranges in a statement, netflix said they intend to defend the matter vigorously and they stand by. richard gallagher, right to tell his story. joining me now to explain what the hell is going on here because i am completely clueless is entertainment reporter hayley palmer looking resplendent? she's off to a festival . she's off to a festival. everyone's off somewhere lovely this afternoon, hayley baby reindeer , i've missed this. i'm reindeer, i've missed this. i'm sorry i was away. i took some time out and i come back and baby reindeer all over the place. no idea what's going on. >> i was the same, actually. but i came in here one day and everyone was like, have you seen baby reindeer? so i did actually take the time out to watch it back to back. >> and i do know she research. >> and i do know she research. >> i do know what the excitement is about because i got absolutely hooked. i couldn't stop thinking about it for days, but my problem here is that it says on it this is a true story, right? so i went, oh my gosh, that made me even more

intrigued. but actually, i think what they should have said is this is based on a true story, because that is the problem that has happened here, because the lady that, who has identified as baby reindeer is saying, well, no, that's not me. that's i didn't do that. and they actually said that she went to prison in the show. but she's saying, no, that didn't happen. so yeah, you can see why she's, you know, obviously saying that she's having mental health issues and flagging this all up. however, she did have an interview with piers morgan because people were kind of saying on facebook they thought they'd tracked her down. so i believe that netflix didn't protect her enough . but it's the protect her enough. but it's the second biggest show on netflix and i'm just going to have to watch it. you're going to have to watch it, and it's going to be interesting to see these battle it out very quickly. >> taylor swift is here and she's amazing. yes, i don't think she's amazing. >> like i wouldn't pay £800 to go and see her, but she's great. >> okay, well, taylor swift is

here. evidently, i'm dawn neesom taylor swift isn't in the building at the moment. this is gb news saturday, and there's lots more coming up on today's show. but first, let's take a look at the weather with taylor swift. sorry, no. marco. marco, who occasionally identifies as taylor swift, possibly. marco. what's what's happening with the weather? lovely >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello. here's your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. we hold on to mixed weather conditions across the uk over the next few days. some sunshine, some showers and chilly temperatures too. for the time of year. low pressure is sitting towards the north—east of the uk, high pressure out towards the west. that's generating that northerly flow, with weather fronts embedded in the flow enhancing showers at times. so looking at the detail for this evening and through the overnight period, we'll hold on to showers towards the north and northwest of the uk, merging later to give some longer spells of rain, particularly across parts of northern ireland and the south—west of scotland. by sunday morning. quite blustery

here too, but with the cloud rain , the wind here temperatures rain, the wind here temperatures do hold up, whereas further south it's becoming clear. and although temperatures in towns and cities holding up near double figures , it will turn double figures, it will turn quite chilly in rural spots. could see a touch of grass frost, in fact, by sunday morning, with temperatures in rural spots here locally down into low single figures. so we're heading into sunday morning. we do get off to a sunny start across the bulk of the southern part of the uk. much of southern england, wales and midlands, seeing lots of sunshine, but it will be quite chilly, those temperatures gradually climbing through the morning. then we run into an area of cloud and some showery outbreaks of rain across northern ireland. north west england and the south—west of scotland, with sunshine and showers further north—east across the north—east of scotland, coupled with quite a gusty north to north westerly winds during the remainder of sunday, cloud will gradually start to push its way south across the uk. so after a sunny start in the south, we'll see more in the way of cloud developing here as we head into the afternoon. those showery outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, southwest scotland edging into northern england and parts of wales as we head into the afternoon on sunday and we hold on to sunshine and showers further

north and northeast towards the northeast of scotland, and here to quite chilly with that gusty northwesterly wind. temperatures are best up to 20 celsius towards the south—east of the uk . heading into sunday evening, those showery bursts of rain continue south eastwards into other parts of england and wales. i think the far south of the uk should stay fine, and we hold on to clearer skies and showers towards the far north of the uk too. as for the start of next week, well, a case of sunshine and showers once again and temperatures still disappointing for the time of year. yeah >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> thank you very much, marco . >> thank you very much, marco. lots more coming up on today's packed show now. today is world gin day. whether you're already a fan of the spirit or looking for an intro. well, gin is perfect to get involved. more to come. news britain's news britain's news channel. don't go too far.

houses in a residential neighbourhood of the al nuseirat in central gaza strip . penny in central gaza strip. penny mordaunt clashed with angela rayner over issues including the nhs waiting list and the economy in a televised debate last night. both were reprimanded for speaking over each other, whilst miss rayner received applause after claiming former prime minister liz truss had crashed the economy . the economy. >> keir starmer confirmed this earlier this week. they are going to put up your taxes by £2,000, by £2,000 per house. >> any more you're using , you're >> any more you're using, you're using a figure that's been criticised by the uk statistics watchdog costings and labour's own stand by your record and you'll see record levels of taxes on working people . taxes on working people. >> 26 separate tax hikes in the last parliament. >> well, as we just heard, penny mordaunt was also criticised for repeating a claim that labour would raise taxes by £2,000 despite it being rejected by the

statistics watchdog. sir keir starmer now says labour's manifesto is complete and insists there'll be no tax surprises . surprises. >> well, we finalised our manifesto yesterday , which was a manifesto yesterday, which was a great moment because at the end of the meeting it was acclaimed by everybody in the meeting and said, you know, good manifestos are those that tell a story about the country and those that succeed . everything in our succeed. everything in our manifesto won't be any surprises on tax . all of our plans are on tax. all of our plans are fully costed, fully funded and none of them involving tax rises over and above those that we've already set out . already set out. >> well, britain's high streets could be in for a boost with labour set to unveil a plan to breathe life into shopping strips . it's expected to include strips. it's expected to include an overhaul of business rates, system to help high street shops compete with online giants . the compete with online giants. the conservative party says the changes amount to what they call french style union laws, and pointed to its own record of supporting small businesses. but

shadow chancellor rachel reeves says it will boost access to high street banking, but undetermined to ensure that our high streets have that chance to thrive and succeed again. >> and there's some great examples of that already, but we want to reform the business rate system in a way that reduces the costs for small businesses and high streets, ensuring that some of the big multinationals and tech companies pay their fair share. >> three new national parks could be declared as part of a manifesto pledge by the liberal democrats. the party says it would spend around £50 million a year on maintaining the natural areas, with the chilterns in hertfordshire and buckinghamshire listed as possible locations. there are currently ten national parks in england, and ed davey says the government has failed on its 2019 promise to create a new one. well, this is a capital investment. >> over the next five years and you're right, it is a significant investment . but i significant investment. but i believe this is hugely important for our environment that it will help the fight against climate

change. it will help the fight against the nature crisis. we need to improve bio diversity and whether it's local authorities or farmers or the national parks being part of this . this. >> the mayor of the greek island where michael mosley went missing, says there's no chance of search will be called off until he's found. efforts to locate the tv doctor are entering their fourth day. he was reportedly last seen in cctv footage in the village of pd last wednesday . the mayor said last wednesday. the mayor said the area where he is believed to have travelled through is difficult to pass and is only rocks. a search dog was only able to work for an hour this morning due to extremely high temperatures, which topped 40 degrees. also on the day, mr mosley disappeared . a new report mosley disappeared. a new report has found that two thirds of holidaymakers who set a budget for their most recent trip abroad bust it. the post office travel money found that people overspent by more than £150 on average. restaurant meals, supermarket bought food and sightseeing trips were among the

outgoings behind the costs. more than three quarters of families set a budget for their last holiday, but 73% overspent by around £312 on average . those around £312 on average. those are the top stories and for all the latest do sign up to gb news alerts. just scan the qr code on your screen, or you can go to gbnews.com slash alerts. now though, it's back to dawn . though, it's back to dawn. >> thank you very much tamsin i was joking. she doesn't have gin. it's cup of tea. honestly tamzin's. mum. right, let's get stuck into today's story , shall stuck into today's story, shall we? during last night's seven way election debate , prime way election debate, prime minister stand in. penny morden joined in the criticism of her boss rishi sunak, for abandoning d—day veterans in normandy. >> what happened was completely wrong and the prime minister has rightly apologised for that, apologised to veterans but also to all of us because he was

representing all of us. i just want to have left d—day early. i didn't go to d—day. i think what happened was very wrong . i think happened was very wrong. i think the prime minister has apologised for that . but what apologised for that. but what i also think is important is we honour their legacy . honour their legacy. >> but amid a bunch of bickering and talking over one another. plaid cymru. rhun ap iorwerth found time to thwart labour's lack of vision. i believe that the real frustration in this election is the lack of change on offer from the labour party, whether you like them or not. >> there was a feeling i was still working as a as a journalist back in the 90s when tony blair came in, at least there was a feeling of something different happening and never one to keep his powder dry. >> reform uk party leader nigel farage spelt out his frustration with today's political leaders. >> i think this has been one of the worst general election campaigns so far between the two main parties i've ever seen in my lifetime . it isn't just that my lifetime. it isn't just that their leaders are dull. don't really, well, very dull. in the

case of labour. i mean sort of sort of blair without the flair. i mean, the real leader of the labour party is here tonight on the stage. at least she's got some personality. vie, i love that phrase . i just want to go that phrase. i just want to go quickly to one of your messages that's come in album says i'm blair without the flair is my new favourite phrase to describe labour savage nigel farage. but i mean , a lot of people are i mean, a lot of people are echoing that sentiment as well. joining me now is gb news political correspondent katherine forster to delve down a bit further into that seven people debate on a friday night, catherine. >> yes, well, according to a poll that was done afterwards. nigel farage apparently , i think nigel farage apparently, i think 25% of people thought that he won that debate rather fewer for angela rayner and then the others on lower scores and whatever you think of nigel farage, he certainly does have a way of talking, doesn't he, that blair, without the flair. quite

a line. angela rayner's face was a line. angela rayner's face was a picture as she tried not to react to that, but really i thought it went really pretty smoothly considering there were seven mps on the stage, but largely it was a row between penny mordaunt from the conservatives there on behalf of the prime minister and, angela rayner there, instead of saying keir starmer as nigel farage referred to her, as the real leader because, of course, angela rayner is a force to be reckoned with and she is inclined to go her own way. we saw that just over a week ago, dunng saw that just over a week ago, during the diane abbott row, when she took a different view that was not the party line, but what i think was most striking, a couple of things. the first thing that i think the biggest round of applause for the whole night was when a member of the audience said, why is it that politicians make all sorts of promises to get you to vote for

them and then they get into office and then they don't deliver on any of that? and i think a lot of people would sympathise with that view. but penny mordaunt's comments , in penny mordaunt's comments, in defence, i put that in inverted commas of the prime minister in his decision to not stay for the international commemoration of the d—day. d—day apologies, quite extraordinary because she really went very hard, didn't she , in saying it was completely she, in saying it was completely wrong and she said it on several occasions. it was completely wrong . but he has apologised. wrong. but he has apologised. now. what she could have done is sort of soften that a bit, say, well, it was a mistake , but he's well, it was a mistake, but he's apologised, he's realised it was the wrong decision and she could have highlighted the government's record on veterans. now they do have a veterans minister, johnny mercer. he came out yesterday and said yes, it was awful, but the prime minister had done the right thing. and, you know, it takes a lot to apologise and highlighting all the things that

the government has done for veterans. but penny mordaunt didn't do any of that. and i think that's because largely the majority of conservatives assume that the election is already lost. penny mordaunt would dearly to love lead the party, so she's stressing that she's been defence secretary. she's mp for portsmouth north, but it's not at all clear whether if, as expected, and of course things can change. but we're less than four weeks off the general election and the conservatives are looking for a new leader. penny mordaunt might not be in the running because a lot of the polls that are coming out now are saying that she won't even keep her seat. >> catherine, do you think , just >> catherine, do you think, just one final quick question. we'll run out of time. catherine, do you think a rishi sunak's behaviour by leaving d—day is the nail in his coffin? and he will potentially leave politics from here on in? >> i think we just keep saying that the conservatives have had

a bad day, but this was off the charts. you know, this is a party that spent so long talking about defence, patriotism, saying we will keep you safe , saying we will keep you safe, don't trust labour. and they blew it with this because it's a very simple thing. that picture went around the world of world leaders. biden schultz, macron and where you would expect to find rishi sunak, there was david cameron. that sends a message no matter what rishi sunak says . sunak says. >> katherine forster thank you very much. damning indictment of rishi sunak's behaviour. now here is a full list of those who have declared their candidacy in the portsmouth north constituency . mp simon dodd for constituency. mp simon dodd for the liberal democrats amanda martin, labour party. penny mordaunt, conservative duncan stuart robinson, the green party and mel todd for reform, joining me now, i'm pleased to say is gb news, host of the saturday five, benjamin butterworth and host of

the bombshells podcast. what a lovely name, fleur elizabeth, an equally lovely name. and it's your first time on the show, isn't it? it is. yes. thank you very much for joining isn't it? it is. yes. thank you very much forjoining us, right. okay. now, last night's debate, lots of people are coming out of it that it was the final nail in the coffin for rishi sunak. penny mordaunt was literally throwing her boss under the bus. what do you make of what you saw ? >> 7. >>i 7- >> i mean, ?_ >> i mean, i m ? >> i mean, i think she didn't have a choice in a way, because he did the indefensible. and so the only way to do it was to say that it was wrong. but there's also a degree of self—interest. you know, people keep talking about will penny mordaunt be the next conservative party leader? well, no, because she won't be a member of parliament based on what the polling suggests. and so, you know, i think part of the reason why she had to be so adamant about why it was a mistake is because her portsmouth constituency that is going to put off a lot of the voters that hold her future in their hands. but i think on a broader scale, you know, the fact is that once she'd made those comments at the top of the

debate, there was nothing really that could be said in the remaining time on that floor that would resonate more with the public. that is the story, and that is what has made people's minds up. >> what did you make of it, fleur, well, yeah. >> so penny openly saying how terrible it was that rishi had left the d—day, commemorations was, you know . was, you know. >> yes, she she clearly wants to be leader herself , but doesn't be leader herself, but doesn't have the chance because she is set to lose her seat. >> but for her to talk about the leader of the party in that way sends a message all around the country that the leader of the conservative party is unpatriotic. >> and in a time when he's just been talking about bringing in national service, it's just a complete sort of clash, which with what he's been previously saying. >> so yeah, that trust is sort of not there, do you think? >> i mean, no matter what anyone said last night and even rishi sunak's behaviour, do you think what we say we've seen two debates so far haven't we.

there's more to come. people do you think anything will change anyone's mind? do you think people have already decided what they're going to do come the general election? >> i mean, i think the reason that rishi sunak and the tories gave for calling the election was because they thought they weren't being listened to. nothing was resonating with the public, you know, until the election started, the polls hadnt election started, the polls hadn't moved since midway through liz truss's fleeting premiership. well, bad news, they have now moved. they've got worse for the tories and i think , you know, the truth is that this election isn't about policies in the public's mind. it's about punishment. people want to punish the tories. they feel they've disrespected their office. they feel that life has got worse under them, that the economy isn't going anywhere. and so they want to vote for whoever is against the tories. thatis whoever is against the tories. that is part of why i think reform has such fertile ground. you know. and nigel farage in your clip talks about, keir starmer being blair without the flair, which is a fantastic line , great turn. but it also doesn't matter because he's not the tories. he's put himself steadfast in a different

position in terms of how he perceives himself. and that is all that matters. they'll vote for anyone but the tories, i mean, fleur, i mean, several polls have said that nigel farage was the winner. >> if that's the right turn of phrase in last night's debate, how dangerous do you think nigel farage going back to lead reform has been for the conservative party? >> well, it's interesting , i >> well, it's interesting, i think one question that angela rayner really missed out on asking penny was if penny became leader of the conservatives, hypothetically, would she accept nigel as a member? >> interesting point. >> interesting point. >> because he is a threat . but >> because he is a threat. but there are constituencies where it's clear that, you know , it's clear that, you know, conservatives have lost the trust, but people still want a right wing party in there. and that's where reform may do . that's where reform may do. well, so yes, they are a threat, but and i think that penny did not attack nigel as much as you would have expected. so she clearly doesn't. i don't know if

she doesn't see that or if there's something else going on there. >> do you think that was maybe a game plan that she might be welcoming to have nigel farage in the tory party >> possibly. >> possibly. >> i mean, it was incredible to witness when he announced that he was becoming leader, just the reaction, like i think they said , every five seconds a new person joins the reform party after that announcement. so he, as a man, you know, he's the kind of boris figure that won the 2019 elections. >> penny, isn't that rishi? isn't that so? >> you know, if he is such a people person that him coming into the conservative party in the future would win votes, then you're not going to want to be hostile . hostile. >> it is interesting that nigel farage only announced last week that he was he was standing and was going back to the reform party as a leader. and you're already the conversation almost everywhere is about nigel farage. do you think he should maybe get in bed with the conservative party, or do you think that would be a bad thing

for the country? >> i think it's very hard to predict. i mean, he said , you predict. i mean, he said, you know, there'll be no pact between reform and conservative in this election. >> and he said that in this election. >> he said, though, which was an interesting turn of phrase, but he's also said that he wouldn't want to join a conservative party that looks like the one that's been there for the recent years. >> i think it's unlikely that he will become a conservative party member if he's elected to parliament, because that would mean that the remaining handful of mps who themselves want to be leader, who want to resolve the massive problems, would have to put their own ambition to one side in order to allow him in. and that seems extremely implausible, you know, why would, for example, suella braverman want to let him in, even if they have more in common than some tory mps, because she'd be handing her dream job over to nigel farage? and so i think the practicalities of that make it very unwise , i also, you make it very unwise, i also, you know, think that it depends on whether reform get many mps, you know, could the reverse happen whereby you have conservative mps swapping over to reform if

they become a serious or moderately serious parliamentary grouping? >> and obviously, you know , >> and obviously, you know, rishi sunak, i think everyone accepts made a huge, huge mistake by coming home early from dna. nigel farage said in an interview that he reckoned the d—day mistake was because of class and the fact that rishi sunakis class and the fact that rishi sunak is a private, school educated , hedge fund. former educated, hedge fund. former hedge fund manager. when's educated, hedge fund. former hedge fund manager . when's the hedge fund manager. when's the last time sunak went out with a for a pint with a working class person? is the question nigel farage happening? do you think there is an element of class in how rishi sunak gets things so wrong? >> well, we've all seen that interview when he was, i don't know, he was a teenager or a young adult where he said , i've young adult where he said, i've got middle class friends, i've got middle class friends, i've got working class friends. >> well, not working class friends, and it's not a good look. i don't really think that he left this because of class. because i think it's more the people that are advising him, he has got a lot to do . he's got

has got a lot to do. he's got a lot on his plate. >> but, fortunately, some people are using this and saying, because of his indian heritage that he is. >> that's why he's an unpatriotic prime minister. and if it was a sort of white british prime minister, they wouldn't have done that, which i think is a real shame and quite damaging, for for, the, for rishi's image and not true. >> i think it is genuinely, you know, it's election season and he's yes, it was a mistake. >> but i mean, i personally think it's being overblown, to be honest. >> do you interesting. do you benjamin, no, it's not in the slightest. >> it's the worst mistake that anyone's made in a short campaign. you know, it's much worse than the bigoted woman. >> comment by gordon brown, which was the last time anyone publicly apologised and run up to a general election. >> by the way, anything to do with being indian or being posh? it's because it's a bleeding idiot. you know, this was already in the diary, and if he can't see that for himself, then no one else is to blame.

>> it does make you wonder who's advising him, doesn't it? possibly keir starmer, the way things are looking for him. right. that is our benjamin butterworth and our, fleur elizabeth, thank you both for joining me and talking about that debate last night, which the conversation continues for all the best analysis and opinion on that. and having your say , go to our website, say, go to our website, gbnews.com now it's time. come on cheer up people. no politics. it's time for the great british giveaway and your chance to make this summer really special. with over £16,000 worth of prizes to be won, that's £15,000 in cash and a whole load of treats . you and a whole load of treats. you have to be in it to win it. and yes, i do keep reading it. i'm sorry, and but here's how you make that money. yours >> it's our summer spectacular. three top prizes that have to be won. there's cash £15,000 in tax free cash to spend on anything you like. this summer. plus a brand new iphone 15 with a set of apple airpods. and if that wasn't enough, we'll also treat you to some fun in the sun with £500 to spend at your favourite

that's generating that northerly flow with weather fronts embedded in the flow enhancing showers at times. so looking at the detail for this evening and through the overnight period, we'll hold on to showers towards the north and north—west of the uk, merging later to give some longer spells of rain, particularly across parts of ireland and the south—west of scotland. by sunday morning, quite blustery here too, but with the cloud rain and the wind here, temperatures do hold up, whereas further south it's becoming clear. and although temperatures in towns and cities holding up near double figures, it will turn quite chilly in rural spots, could see a touch of grass frost. in fact, by sunday morning, with temperatures in rural spots here locally down into low single figures . so locally down into low single figures. so we're heading into sunday morning. we do get off to a sunny start across the bulk of the southern part of the uk. much of southern england, wales and midlands, seeing lots of sunshine, but it will be quite chilly. those temperatures gradually climbing through the morning. then we run into an area of cloud and some showery outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, northwest england and the southwest of scotland, with sunshine and showers further north—east across the north—east of scotland, coupled with quite a gusty north to north westerly winds during the remainder of sunday, cloud will gradually

start to push its way south across the uk. so after a sunny start in the south, we'll see more in the way of cloud developing here as we head into the afternoon. those showery outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, southwest scotland edging into northern england and parts of wales as we head into the afternoon on sunday and we hold on to sunshine and showers further north and northeast towards the north—east of scotland, and here to quite chilly with that gusty northwesterly wind. temperatures are best up to 20 celsius towards the south—east of the uk. heading into sunday evening. those showery bursts of rain continue south eastwards into other parts of england and wales. i think the far south of the uk should stay fine and we hold on to clearer skies and showers towards the far north of the uk too . as for the start of the uk too. as for the start of next week, well, a case of sunshine and showers once again and temperatures still disappointing for the time of year. yeah >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb
