won't hear from any of the parties this time round, but which is in fact the most important. britain is broke. i love this country and we have huge potential, and i hope that whoever wins the election will unlock the colossal talent that we have here. britain, with its dynamic, diverse workforce , its dynamic, diverse workforce, its geography sandwich between europe and america , its europe and america, its universal language of english, its long history of education, culture, diplomacy, manufacturing services and entrepreneurial ism ought to be a high growth economy. we should be, and we can be the envy of the world. but that's only going to happen if politicians get real and get honest. but i won't hold my breath . so on their hold my breath. so on their behalf, let me tell you what they will not tell you. the united kingdom lives beyond its means. just last month , the means. just last month, the deficit, which is the difference between what's coming in and

what's going out, was £20 billion. that's right. we borrowed £20 billion last month alone. just to pay the bills. we are essentially living off the national credit card just to keep the lights on. and it's our debt and our deficit, don't forget, not theirs. it's like someone taking out a massive mortgage or a loan on your behalf. you wouldn't like that, would you.7 but behalf. you wouldn't like that, would you? but that is what has happened.£20 would you? but that is what has happened. £20 billion borrowed in just a month to pay the bills is not normal. in just a month to pay the bills is not normal . it's not is not normal. it's not sustainable. in fact, it's a total freak show . but none of total freak show. but none of the politicians are admitting it . but they'll have to when they get into power. whoever it is, even the monster raving loony party or count binface will quickly lose their sense of humour when they see the books . humour when they see the books. it sickens me to think that i was presented with supposedly expert economists on my old talk radio show during the pandemic, saying that all of this

borrowing in order to indulge in the ludicrous experiment of stopping a virus , one which in stopping a virus, one which in my view failed spectacularly, was somehow cost neutral. what about inflation? i said, if you print money, what about the cost of interest going up on all this new debt? i was called a granny killer and someone with no understanding of economics . understanding of economics. well, that's aged well, hasn't it? inflation soared and interest rates skyrocketed. what the hell do they teach these people at university post—covid ? people at university post—covid? i'm now hugely sceptical of all so—called experts . and if you've so—called experts. and if you've got letters after your name, i'm inclined to run a mile. i'd much rather ask the regulars at my local , the mossy. well, a great local, the mossy. well, a great boozen local, the mossy. well, a great boozer. why? well because they've got common sense and they've got common sense and they live in the real world. then, once you've dealt with the deficit, there is the national debt, which now stands at over £2 trillion. the interest alone

on our borrowing is £100 billion a year. that's a government department in its own right. it's almost twice the defence budget. the cost of interest alone 100 billion. which is why the only debate during this election should be about repairing the public finances and getting that borrowing down, which takes me to the elephant in the room. public spending, whether it's the money pit that is the nhs record amounts going in. but the waiting list remain and we're only getting sicker. the welfare bill is exploding with upwards of 5 million working age adults not active in the economy . councils are going the economy. councils are going bust, public sector pensions are a ticking time bomb. it goes on, with taxes unable to realistically go much higher. the next administration has no choice but to cut. that's what you and i do, isn't it? that is what you and i do when money is too tight to mention. we don't replace the car. we skip the holidays, we give up buying clothes or eating out. we drink

indoors for whoever gets in in july. this shouldn't be badged up as austerity. it is simply living within our means, something which any government has a duty of care to deliver. now there may be areas of the pubuc now there may be areas of the public sector that need targeted investment or even an increase investment or even an increase in funding, but overall, the cost of the state must come down and its size and stay at scale has got to shrink. why is that? well, because we already can't afford it. with 20 billion going out of the window every month, britain is a great country, but it's broke. whoever forms our next government has got to fix the roof because it's almost blown off as we speak. it'll take 5 to 10 years. it'll involve sacrifice. it will be painful. but to survive and then to thrive , we have to do it. to thrive, we have to do it. whoever gets in britain needs a bit of tough love. and for those who don't like it , tough luck .

who don't like it, tough luck. your reaction? gbnews.com/yoursay let's hear from tonight's top pundits. we have journalist and communications advisor linda jubilee. gb news is senior political commentator nigel nelson, and social worker and commentatorjoseph david. great to see all three of you. welcome to see all three of you. welcome to the show, linda jubilee. britain is broke and we live beyond its means. so on the money, by the way mark, that was one of the best monologues i've heard you do in many months. that's very kind. they're all good. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> but that was it gave me no pleasure to write it or deliver it. >> no, it.- >> no, no, it.— >> no, no, i'm sure it it. >> no, no, i'm sure it didn't. i mean, the fact of the matter is that successive governments, over a very long period of time, all parties, all parties have failed to tackle immigration, failed to tackle immigration, failed to tackle the fundamental problems of the nhs and failed to tackle what is, i suppose, a newer problem of what's going on with our universities, which should be and should remain

world class. let me give you one little anecdote very quickly, and this is what i think is at the nub of the problem recently, i think within the last year i interviewed a fairly well—known politician. i won't say which one and i won't say which party, and i interviewed him about the state of our water courses in this country, particularly thames water, where i live, because that week i'd seen raw sewage wafting down the street and he said to me, do you know what, linda? he said, i'm sick of people talking down this country. we need to talk it up . country. we need to talk it up. well, frankly, we're not in a situation that we can market our way out of. so then he said, this is the punch line. i don't think there is a real water problem in this country. think there is a real water problem in this country . after problem in this country. after all, i can go trout fishing in the local chalk stream every weekend. >> yeah, well, listen, i tell you what, that tells you everything. indeed. well, that fool took the bait , everything. indeed. well, that fool took the bait, didn't he? but that is, that is in many ways the entire political establishment. yosef, that you

and i and my viewers at home and my listeners on the radio, we can do the maths, can't we? we look at our income every month , look at our income every month, and if more is going out than comes in, we have to change how we live. but no government has done that recently, and no prospect of that happening in the future. >> no, this is a disaster waiting to happen. what we're effectively doing is taking out a new credit card to pay the interest of the last, and eventually this has to come to a head because the spending can't go on, with an unlimited amount for the for the tax burden, for the, for the people who actually have to pay it. but another thing, when you were giving your monologue, i was thinking to myself, what about value for money with all the spending, with all the debt that is incurred? and i can speak from personal experience because i'm a social worker who's been in the statutory sector for all the amount of money that we're spending, our services are not working properly, and the ire of the public with regard to the tax burden of recent events wouldn't be anywhere near what it is if things were actually working the way that they were supposed to. the average social

worker has a caseload that simply isn't manageable, and therefore thresholds for the people that we give care to have to be pushed up. and the most vulnerable people aren't getting the care that they need. so the system isn't working and throwing more money and trying to spend your way out of debt surely is for the birds. most definitely, this will be a concern for a labour government, a conservative government. >> whoever gets in, nigel, whoever gets in, i mean, you sounded very much like the institute for fiscal studies, if institute for fiscal studies, if i might say so. >> yeah, they've been warning and no one's paying, paying them any attention at the moment. they've been warning that whoever gets it forms the next government. they're going to face the worst economic outlook for 80 years. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> what the ifs reckons is the way out of it. you either cut pubuc way out of it. you either cut public spending by 3.5, which is huge. it has just been raised by a percent by jeremy hunt, or you're looking for £20 billion of extra cash, which would suggest tax rises. the question obviously is whether or not they're right. so should it be a labour government coming in? rachel reeves has a fiscal rule

which means that day to day spending is covered by revenue, and you then only borrow to invest . and that's the bit that invest. and that's the bit that would give us the green technology which labour are basing on growth. so the answer to this is if you can get economic growth, you do solve the problem. >> what i really want is i want all of our politicians, green, lib dem, plaid cymru , snp, lib dem, plaid cymru, snp, conservative, labour. i want them all to have a look at the fact that britain lives beyond its means, that we are broke, we're a great country, but we are on our uppers and it's time to do something about it. but next up in the big story , as next up in the big story, as they promise a triple lock on tax, do labour's sums add up? we'll hear from all sides on

next. welcome back to the show. am i

going to be brave and just jump on those emails without checking them? of course i am . richard them? of course i am. richard says, good evening, mark on the message board to save money, stop putting up illegal immigrants in hotels and send them back to france, how about , them back to france, how about, this labour uses diane abbott's abacus. this labour uses diane abbott's abacus . of course, things add abacus. of course, things add up, mark, okay, listen , more of up, mark, okay, listen, more of those, bits of feedback to come, but first, it is time for the big story. and this is fascinating, we're going to talk about labour promising not to raise income tax, national insurance or vat for five years if the party wins the general election , then labour's shadow election, then labour's shadow chancellor, rachel reeves, has guaranteed a triple lock on the big three taxes over the course of a first term in power. it means that labour would need to make cuts or find other tax rises if they win on the 4th of july, so do labour's sums add up. we'll hear from my pundits shortly who are divided on this. but first, i'm delighted to

welcome author and former labour party spokesman james matthewson james. lovely to have you on the show for the first time. how can labour deliver its ambitious programmes without massive cuts or raising other taxes ? or raising other taxes? >> it's a good question mark and i mean , i think if there's i mean, i think if there's anybody to answer it, it's rachel reeves and i'd never thought in a million years i'd hear myself saying that because, i'm not from particularly the same side of the party as rachel reeves. >> however, i do think over the past few months she's done an incredible job in building fiscal credibility. and i think that's the crucial thing here is credibility, because the tories, i think the situation that they're in now, and i think many of you, your other panellists, will agree on this generally that they can't offer anything that's going to be believed. and actually it's quite ironic when those of us who remember the labour campaign in 2017 and 2019, the difference between the two, the difference for us at that time was credibility. you

know, we were almost believed in 2017 that things that were in that manifesto could be delivered. by the time 2019 came around, there was no credibility left in the party. so anything that was offered wasn't believed. and i think the tories are in the same position now. >> okay. but james, let me interrupt this love in. okay. and those, rose tinted or is it labour red tinted spectacles you're wearing because peter mandelson has warned against some of angela rayner's proposed union reforms. some of angela rayner's proposed union reforms . the shadow union reforms. the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves, is thought to be sceptical as well. there's going to be an all out civil war over. this should labour win. power isn't there? labour win. power isn't there? labouris labour win. power isn't there? labour is not united on economic policy. >> give you. i'll give you a little bit of i'll let you in on a secret. mark. labour is not unhed a secret. mark. labour is not united on anything. the labour party has never been united on anything. it's part of labour's ongoing weakness. and that will always be the weakness of a movement that was created to represent working people. the trade unions have their interests in the party, all the other factions and all the other

traditions, as we call them in the labour party, all want to have their say. angela rayner is in a crucial position and she's flexing their muscles. she did this on the diane abbott thing as well. but she's, you know, she's seeing how far she can pushit she's seeing how far she can push it and how far she can extend her powers because she holds together the labour party and the trade union movement. she's representative of that because you have to remember , because you have to remember, angela rayner came up through the trade union movement. >> she holds the labour movement together. but won't she split the labour government if they win power? >> well, no, because they have to listen to it because they need the trade unions, because you can't have a labour movement without the trade union movement. you have to remember the trade unions created the labour party, not the other way around. so of course they have to listen to them. so angela will have a key position on that table. if keir starmer and the team around him are sensible and they don't give in to you know, a lot of the egos and vindictive power play that always happens inevitably when people are in power, then they'll be able to say to angela, okay, yeah, we listen to you and your side, the party and to the trade unions and we'll, we'll compromise. and that's the key here. and

hopefully that that will stop any kind of civil war, because i don't see any appetite for that. >> well, you might call it a compromise . some on the left of compromise. some on the left of the labour party, if labour win, might call it a betrayal. but listen, i've got another question for you, james. what is the point of a labour government if there's no money to spend ? if there's no money to spend? >> well, it's a it's a very good point. it all comes back to how we spend money as a country. i think you were talking before about, you know, the, the racking up of the, the bills and the credit cards. that language only really came into use in the austerity years of cameron and osborne. you know, there isn't. and those of us who've looked at how governments work, that's not how governments work, that's not how governments work . a lot of how governments work. a lot of the public seem to think there is this idea that governments have a credit card bill, and they have to pay it every month, andifs they have to pay it every month, and it's like our household expenses. it's simply not. and it doesn't work like that. of course, the economy is very james. >> james, i'm getting flashbacks to my talk radio show in 2021, when top economic experts said

to me, mark, the borrowing won't be inflationary. it's cost neutral interest rates are historically low. now look where we are. i mean, you're saying we're not living on a national credit card, £100 billion a year in debt , credit card, £100 billion a year in debt, interest alone. credit card, £100 billion a year in debt , interest alone. that's in debt, interest alone. that's an entire government department. >> you're right. but i think at the same time, there is a difference here. and this is why the biggest issue i have at the moment is people who say there's no difference between the tories and between labour. there is a difference, and it's how you view the economy now. i joined the labour party to see redistribute active measures in place economically, because those of us who were on the left of economics want to see that happen, because i believe mark and i believe i'm writing this, and i believe i'm writing this, and i believe i'm writing this, and i hope you hear me out. people who have more money in their pocket spend more money, and the economy benefits as a whole . billionaires who get more whole. billionaires who get more money hold on to that money and we don't see it going to the economy . economy. >> okay, well, listen, james, stay with us. i want to bring my

top pundits if and if i can. i've got nigel nelson, linda jubilee and yosef. david, yosef, do you agree with what james has had to say there that actually labour will be very sensible if they win power and sir keir starmer will manage tensions and rivalries within his own party. >> well, labour are traditionally known for higher spending budgets that very often aren't costed, but global trends as well as legacy of previous governments will probably mean that labour are straitjacketed into saying fiscal policy. it's unchartered territory for them, but they're not going to be able to raise taxes as much as they would like. yeah well that's the issue, isn't it? >> and that's my point. i just made earlier, james nigel nelson to james about labour not having the spending power to deliver. it's ambitious and progressive agenda. and i think what lies aheadis agenda. and i think what lies ahead is not just an economic problem for prime minister keir starmer, but a political one as

well. >> well i mean there are two different things here. you're talking about the unions not being terribly keen on some of labour's policies . that's labour's policies. that's a separate issue. that's the charter for working people, which only one union has come out against. and that's unite what it comes down to the economy. we're back to this idea that you you fund day to day spending from the revenue you you bring in, you borrow to invest. what you invest in is the green technology, which could reduce bills by household bills by £300, create 650,000 jobs and you get economic growth on the back of that. >> when are those bills coming down by £300? what's the timeline for that ? and those timeline for that? and those 650,000 jobs? are they happening on the 5th of july if labour win no you won't, you won't see this overnight. >> 6th of july. no you early august you won't see you won't see it overnight. i think that it would take a little bit

longer than 24 hours to actually get the where my kids get back to school, get their feet under the table. but you will see it by the end of the of the five year parliament. >> all right. fair enough. linda jubilee, i understand what james is saying. he's a very convincing and rather articulate young man. but do labour's sums add up ? add up? >> no. look, i've only got a—level economics, so i mean , a—level economics, so i mean, he's obviously much more academically qualified than me, but when rachel reeves and labour say there'll be no increase in the big three taxes and no cutting of any substance to public spending, anyone can work out, that's impossible. what paul johnston from the institute of fiscal studies said this morning was he's sick of heanng this morning was he's sick of hearing all politicians say what they're not going to do. what he wants to hear is what are they going to do? and at the moment, the crisis, i think it's already a crisis is so grave. we actually do need to hear some proper policies and some proper number crunching, and we're not

getting it. >> there you go, james. you get the last word. >> wonderful. well, say it, linda. first of all, you've you've beaten me because i haven't even got any a—levels. i've only got a few gcses. so i mean, my game is politics and that's where i'd bring it back to because labour haven't won this election yet. they need to win the election. we're talking as if they're a government already . we need to remember already. we need to remember that this manifesto that's going to come, these pledges are all about trying to win power and horsepower. we hold them to account at a later date. but for the millions of people who need a labour government in this country, they need to win first. and they need to win convincingly. >> well, james, i hope this is the first of many appearances on mark dolan tonight. the first of many appearances on mark dolan tonight . we've loved mark dolan tonight. we've loved your company this evening. my thanks to author and former labour party spokesman james mathewson. your reaction? gbnews.com/yoursay do labour's sums add up ? okay, folks, at sums add up? okay, folks, at 10:00 it's a special take at ten. my tribute to michael

mosley , and i'll be explaining mosley, and i'll be explaining his amazing method for weight loss and the reversal of type 2 diabetes. so a moving tribute to a great man and something that could just change your life as well. that's my take at ten. michael mosley. it's a special one. don't miss it. but next up is prince harry now asking the uk government to pay for protection all around the world. queen camilla says king charles won't behave himself and as diana's brother charles spencer divorces for the third time, are that family cursed ? i'll be asking leading author angela levin live in the studio

next. okay, folks. lots more to get through. i'll get to your feedback very shortly. but first up is prince harry now asking the u.k. government to pay for protection. all around the world. queen camilla says king charles won't behave himself. and as diana's brother charles spencer divorces for the third

time, are that family cursed for reaction to these big royal stories? i'm delighted to welcome prince harry's biographer, royal journalist angela levin. angela lovely to see you. thank you for coming in. thanks for having me. prince harry has permission to continue his legal action against the home office for top level royal protection when he's in the uk, but it seems he could want more. what's going on? >> well, he wants it done very quickly. >> he's been able to appeal against the appeal against the first court case. so this is number three. he owes over £1 million. now. he spent that's what's been spent. and he will have to pay it back. so he's very keen to get the okay. he's got the green light that he can take it to court again . however, take it to court again. however, he actually said to the judge , he actually said to the judge, can you please hurry it up because i would like it done at the end of the month or just into july because meghan and i are doing around the world tours. we want to make sure

everything's all right. so you think shock , horror, is he going think shock, horror, is he going to use our tax money to go all around the world? and in any case, he can't do that. but the judge very nicely said to him, no, you can't push in. you have to wait and it'll all go. and you're not well enough in the vip group to actually go and in front of everybody else . so the front of everybody else. so the arrogance of that, you see, he's still thinking in terms of he's a prince, he's not a prince. and i think that this country will go absolutely mad if they use our money, taxpayers money, no taxpayers money to go around the world. and i suggest it'll be a lot in africa because they think that worked, although it didn't. actually, nigeria was a disaster, wasn't it? >> i mean, the first lady of nigeria was deeply offended by meghan markle. >> yes. >> yes. >> and she and her rather risque outfit. >> yes. and inappropriate to wear at that time. and she was

very open about it and she was, you know, why has she come and all that sort of thing, but if they do, they start going around everywhere and using it well away from this country. i think it will be very, very annoying to everyone. so we'll have to wait and see what happens. i can't see how you can keep on going back again and again and again, but he's very determined . again, but he's very determined. he's absolutely determined. >> however, angela, he is the king's son. that was not a choice he made. doesn't he deserve the best protection? how would we feel as a country if, god forbid, something happened to harry? >> no, the point is that if he comes anything to do with the royal family he has the best protection. he has. like the king and the queen. he gets that very good protection . very good protection. protection? if he comes to see friends or to do something that's got nothing to do with the royals . he has number grade the royals. he has number grade two or grade three, even .

two or grade three, even. >> but even when he's just seeing his friends, he's still charles's son, isn't he? and that wasn't a choice he made. >> yes, but if you step down from being a royal, you can't expect the same sort of attention that you you get if you're not and you can't actually control it and you can't have he can bring people oven can't have he can bring people over, but they can't have guns. whereas here our police can have guns and they have all the information they need about, you know, rogues here and there . know, rogues here and there. yeah, yeah. and he doesn't get that. but you have to accept that. but you have to accept that you can't take it out of the government . yeah. it's just the government. yeah. it's just not right. he can pay for it if he wants to for himself, but he can't actually expect us to pay for him and his family all the time. >> and this harry and meghan world tour, i mean, that'll be a major headache for the palace, won't it? because the king, charles and william were reportedly fuming about the nigerian trip because it was a

quasi royal visit. it sounds like the couple will be doing that on a global scale this summer. >> summer. >> well it does. i don't know whether it's true, but i think they thought it was great fun and unfortunately, you know, meghan wants to destroy the royal family she has done for a long time. of course, she would. she would, she would deny that she was. yes. well she's a very, very determined woman. and she tries to copy it and do it in a more modern, upbeat way, which she thinks is much better. well, you don't know what's right until you learn , actually, for until you learn, actually, for example, you know, because she went and they were there with somebody who was, he had to pay £2 million or something billion poundsin £2 million or something billion pounds in america. he was a fraud. and they were being very nice to their host in nigeria. whereas if , they come from well, whereas if, they come from well, investigated week somewhere else by the royal family, by the

aides, then you are safe and you know who you're talking to. but i feel that if what happened in africa was drips that can go through down to the royal family. yeah. and make it very difficult. and people can assume that's how they're behaving. but of course they're not, indeed . of course they're not, indeed. >> well, let's look at another wider member of the family, diana's brother. that's harry's uncle, charles spencer, divorced for the third time. will this poor man ever find happiness ? poor man ever find happiness? >> it's very, very difficult, actually. i wrote a book about the background to diana. and really , what happened is that really, what happened is that her father , was very unpleasant her father, was very unpleasant to them. once the divorce came about, he had hit his mother, his, his wife and diana and little boy joe was had seen that through the banisters. and it's very, very difficult . and you very, very difficult. and you haven't got that sort of stability and, little charles

was only three when his mother went away, and he couldn't bear it at night, and he would cry and cry and cry. and diana was frightened of the night, too , frightened of the night, too, and she didn't dare go out, but she felt it was her responsibility to look after him dunng responsibility to look after him during the day. so they were very unhappy children. they had loads of au pairs and nannies coming and going, usually early. the mother would have had looking after the responsibility for the for the children, but he wanted to have that. so that was very difficult. but then you see, he's got, he had a very bad time at school where he felt he would. he wrote a book about it and he was raped. and that was very , very difficult for him. very, very difficult for him. outrageous. and so he's , he he outrageous. and so he's, he he used to cut himself and he used to make himself sick. now, diana did exactly the same. and i think if you have that type of background and childhood, it's

very, very difficult to relax into a happy family life. >> most definitely. james, give me a bit of a picture of some of the royals. if you can, clearly this has been a very tough time and we wish him well. third marriage, as you say, there's a real pattern there, which is very sad, what about queen camilla complaining about king charles saying he's not behaving himself ? charles saying he's not behaving himself? many wives charles saying he's not behaving himself ? many wives watching himself? many wives watching will be familiar with this. yes >> he said, you know, she said he doesn't do what he's told. and various people have been saying, well, isn't that a true man? you know, they don't do that. but she said that about 3 or 4 times. now to meet when she meets someone, that's what she says. but she also always says, well, he's doing very well, but he just isn't taking it easy enough. but he was taking it easy. he was pacing up and down. he couldn't bear it, but he was at home. and the doctors, i think, are very wisely. not that i know medically anything that people need to be happy, they

need to do what they want. if they are ill because it helps them get better. and i think him, being out and about and he wouldn't have wanted to miss the d—day event at all, or a few other notable individuals who shall remain nameless. >> last but not least, angela, some indirect news from catherine. >> princess kate yes, it was really thrilling , actually, that really thrilling, actually, that she wrote to the irish guards who were going to be the ones who were going to be the ones who are trooping the colour on saturday. and she said, you know, she's been made colonel. and she said how sorry she was that she couldn't be with them, but that she hopes that she will be there very, very soon, now there's one very, very soon. yeah. and they were delighted and very touched. and it shows that she's there, really. she's mentally there. she's emotionally there, but she just can't go out and about now, and all work hard because she's not

well enough and, and we just bless her and wish that she feels well soon as possible. >> most definitely. we do wish her well and a of hope that we will see her at some point in the future. but of course, her recovery is the number one priority. >> maybe wimbledon she loves. >> maybe wimbledon she loves. >> wouldn't that be fantastic if she was on centre court? we can but hope angela are thrilled to see you looking fabulous in royal blue tonight. let me tell you . do you come back and see us you. do you come back and see us again soon? the doyenne of royal reporting, angela levin, coming up in a take a ten special, i'll be paying tribute to the tv doctor, michael mosley , and doctor, michael mosley, and explaining how his incredibly simple and effective method has helped millions of people to lose weight and reverse their type 2 diabetes. don't miss that at ten, it may just save your life. but next up, could the liberal democrats that's achieved the biggest win in their history. i'll be asking mark meets guest, former dem mp mark oaten,

next. coming up in my take at ten. my tribute to michael mosley. and why his legacy may just help you lose weight and save your life. that's a special take at ten. don't miss it. but first, mark meets . on this evening, can the meets. on this evening, can the lib dems achieve the biggest win in their history on july the 4th? let's get the views of the ex—liberal democrat member of parliament for winchester and former leadership contender mark oaten. mark, welcome to the show. lovely to see you . show. lovely to see you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> mark, nice to have you in the studio. what does a successful election look like for the lib dems this time round from my perspective, i think they need to be a little bit more ambitious. >> so they've talked about increasing the numbers. >> actually, i think they could get 60, 70, maybe 80. in this climate . it's back to how things climate. it's back to how things were back in 97 now. then they got 46. but i think it's

slightly worse than 97 for the tories. so the prospect aukus if they target carefully could be 60 or 70 seats. >> i think privately they'll be disappointed if it falls below that figure. >> right. >> right. >> what is the difference between the liberal democrats and the labour party? >> i think it's a nature that you have about internationalism. >> it's your views on europe, for example . it's your views on for example. it's your views on being up front about taxation . being up front about taxation. and it's a very, very strong liberal principle that you're always going to stand up for the vulnerable in a way that sometimes i feel the labour party doesn't have the courage to go out and say it. you know, one of the things about keir starmer is he's so cautious, he doesn't want to offend anybody . doesn't want to offend anybody. i'd like to think that at times the liberal democrats are prepared to offend people by speaking up for minorities, maybe being more up front about taxation and certainly trusting individuals to take decisions rather than the more big state approach which the labour party has.

>> but what the lib dems and aren't the lib dems, they're for people that are a bit afraid of labour and that somehow the lib dems are a bit more moderate, a bit more business friendly, just perhaps a bit less left wing. >> well, certainly as the labour party . party. >> i mean, no, lib dem is a socialist, right? the lib dems don't believe in socialism. >> you have a big debate in the liberal democrats about whether you're genuine liberals or social liberals in other words, whether you believe in controlling the state and maybe interfering, or whether you don't want too many rules and regulations . so there's quite regulations. so there's quite a debate there. but i think the big difference is that what keir starmer, the labour party, have done, is shifted the party to the right . and so actually it's the right. and so actually it's quite hard in some areas to see a difference between those two main parties. i would like the liberal democrats to be radical, to be different. there's a dangen to be different. there's a danger, though, that as they try and get those 70 seats, they too don't want to offend anybody. and i think maybe ed could be a little bit bolder and come out and say a few more things. well, yes . yes. >> let's talk about ed davey's campaign. he's been on the

paddleboard board, he's been on a wobbly bike, and he's been careering down a waterslide. let's hope that's not a metaphor on an inflatable. what do you make of the rather eye catching campaign so far? >> i mean, i have to say, when it started, i thought, oh, god, this is going to backfire. you know, they're going to be is this guy serious? then the second day and the third day and the fourth day, i started to think, well, you know what? they're being , you know, looked they're being, you know, looked at, they're being talked about, which is always a struggle for the third party. and then when you see starmer and sunak so wooden in all of these debates, so cautious, suddenly you think, actually there's a human being here coming out in ed davey. and if it takes a few stunts and falling in the water, i think it's probably a risk that he should take to show his difference. show you can have fun in politics as well. it's not all dull and also contrast himself to sunak and starmer, who are so dull in this election i >> -- >> will he pay the price for his handung >> will he pay the price for his handling of the post office scandal, given that he didn't grant the subpostmaster alan

bates? alan bates thank you, alan bates. a meeting when he was, you know, in government. was that a mistake ? and will he was that a mistake? and will he pay was that a mistake? and will he pay the price for that politically, do you think in july was it a mistake? >> yes it was. will he pay the pnce? >> yes it was. will he pay the price? i don't think so. he's come out and said that he regrets it. and i think what it does show is just how many politicians were having the wool pulled over their eye by the royal mail. it was a scandal in terms of what happened to the individuals who had to go to jail , who individuals who had to go to jail, who lost their jobs and their livelihood. it was actually also a scandal for the way in which the establishment covered this up. and ed would say, look, you know, i asked the questions, but if they tell me a lie, how do i know it's a lie? so i think there might be some sympathy that he was put in a pretty difficult situation as many others were, indeed. what about you then ? what attracted about you then? what attracted you to the liberal democrat? cause in the first place, all those years ago, because you started as an sdp person, didn't you? all those years ago, and it was all those years ago. >> i was 18, had to decide how

to vote. somebody knocked on my door and they were a liberal at the time. back in the 1980s. if any of your viewers can remember that there was a big thatcherism, you know, she was very unpopular at the time . the very unpopular at the time. the labour party were crazy. they were to the left. i quite liked the idea of this new party. it was set up. it was neither left or right, you know, you could join by credit card. you know, it was revolutionary. it broke the mould. and i guess for a young 18 year old, it was different. and i got wrapped up to it . and then mark drugs and to it. and then mark drugs and politics. it's just like a drug. it's an adrenaline thing. once you start getting involved, it's really, really hard to stop. >> yeah, most definitely. and the rest is history. of course, you even flirted with the leadership at one point, which was a huge disaster. >> i mean, what was i thinking of? i think one of the dangers of? i think one of the dangers of politics is you climb up the greasy pole, is you get wrapped in you believe what people are saying to you, you believe the hype and you need to have a long, hard look and say, do i really want to do this? i

probably didn't, but i was stupid enough to do it and it all came crashing round. >> exactly. and you weren't helped by having a bit of a complicated private life, which of course should remain private. but the news of the world got hold of a couple of stories. i think you'd you'd you'd certainly indulged in some adult company and that was characterised as a bit of a scandal and then in, i think, officially in 2019, you came out as gay . so was it difficult as gay. so was it difficult keeping your sexuality private for so long, and did that affect your career, do you think? >> i mean hugely , look, you >> i mean hugely, look, you know, having your phone hacked by the news of the world was pretty, pretty bad. but at the end of the day, it was my mistake. i went off and did those things in my private life, which i shouldn't have done, but i was struggling hugely with my sexuality. i didn't know what was going on. i wanted to experiment, which was wrong and dangerous and stupid. but now, when i look back, do you know what i don't regret? things. i regret the hurt i caused to my family and my children. but i don't regret the fact that i was able to stop politics in

experiment and eventually find where i wanted to be. and now i'm able to say in a studio i'm gay, which feels really strange because i could never have done that. 15, ten years ago. well, indeed. >> i mean, would you ever consider a return to politics now that you can be yourself? >> no , i wouldn't, i enjoyed i'm >> no, i wouldn't, i enjoyed i'm doing now. bluntly, i earn too much money to go back to politics. you see, that's the problem. that is the problem. >> see, i wish you'd be in politics because we need people with a personality and who are authentic and honest. what do you make of our modern politicians? they're all very stiff and cardboard cut—out, aren't they? >> i mean, i think it's absolutely awful at the moment, if i must be honest about it. i look at the politics now where are the whole big beasts that we used to have? big personalities, big characters, tony blair, you know, ken clarke, michael heseltine, paddy ashdown, even, bless him, charles kennedy. yeah, there were big figures that you knew . i can't yeah, there were big figures that you knew. i can't name half the cabinet now. now, as a kid i could i could name the cabinet, you know, they were all on spitting image weren't they. and you knew these characters. i think what we've got is a unfortunately a dumbing down of our politics. and it means that interesting, exciting people just don't want to do it.

>> and indeed, by the way, outcome of the election, i know it changes by the day, but i mean, it's a labour landslide . mean, it's a labour landslide. >> you think labour landslide with a strong lib dem presence. >> there you go. well listen, great to have your presence tonight. thank you so much. mark oaten, former lib dem mp. fascinating stuff. well next up in my take at ten, my tribute to michael mosley and i'll be explaining how his incredibly simple and effective method has helped millions of people to lose weight and even reverse their type 2 diabetes. do not miss it. it is a take at ten special and it may just save your life. plus tomorrow's papers. my top pundits and in the last word, we'll be hearing from our fleet street insider about all the twists and turns in the election. but my tribute to michael mosley comes from the heart, and that's next. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on gb news. >> good evening. welcome to your

devastating news of bbc star and celebrity doctor michael mosley's death is a tragedy for his family and loved ones. my heart goes out to them, his four children and his amazing wife claire. there are no words for this loss. the untimely passing of a fit, healthy and vibrant man. i had the privilege of interviewing michael mosley on my old talk radio show and he spoke with good humour, wit and knowledge . he was a great knowledge. he was a great doctor, a great broadcaster and a great man, and this is a huge loss to more than just his loved ones. michael mosley, in my view , was single handedly the most important figure in the debate around nutrition in this country. he was ahead of the curve on the low carbohydrate diet, intermittent fasting , the diet, intermittent fasting, the importance of good sleep, sunshine, gut health, correct breathing and focused high intensity exercise. he was a walking example of his own

philosophy, having reversed his diabetes , something which he diabetes, something which he inherited from his own father and he reduced his waistline as and he reduced his waistline as a result. michael mosley was behind the famous five two diet, where you eat normally for five days and have a much smaller food intake. the other two, while the five two diet put his name on the map, it was his later books, including the fast 800 keto, in which he struck gold for millions of people. now, the fast 800 keto is a method that i adopted and it helped me lose around three stone. can you believe it ? and stone. can you believe it? and ex—labour mp tom watson lost seven stone. that's right, he lost seven stone. again thanks to michael's method. it's so incredibly sad that michael is no longer here to convey his transformative health message. transform ative health message. but transformative health message. but let me use this platform to do it right now. so how do you

lose weight? reverse your type 2 diabetes and be the person you want to be? well, according to mosley, whose approach was rooted in science and evidence based medicine, you do the following . you get processed following. you get processed carbohydrates as close to zero as possible. bread, biscuits , as possible. bread, biscuits, pasta, rice, potatoes, beer and sugar. pasta, rice, potatoes, beer and sugar . sorry folks, all the nice sugar. sorry folks, all the nice stuff you eat in as short a time frame as possible. so—called intermittent fasting. for most people, eating all of your food in an eight hour window, for example, let's say between midday and 8 pm. this allows the body the other 16 hours when you're not eating to digest the food and release energy from stored body fat. in other words , stored body fat. in other words, you get yourself nice and slim and mosley recommended so—called hit exercise short sprints rather than a casual jog in the park , an intense go on the

park, an intense go on the bicycle on a hill rather than a casual cycle in town, or lifting heavy weights. slowly intense exercise, which he argued, gives you more metabolic bang for your buck. you more metabolic bang for your buck . now, you more metabolic bang for your buck. now, i'm you more metabolic bang for your buck . now, i'm not you more metabolic bang for your buck. now, i'm not a you more metabolic bang for your buck . now, i'm not a doctor, buck. now, i'm not a doctor, obviously, and if you change your diet or exercise routine, your diet or exercise routine, you must consult your gp. none of this is advice. do your research and speak to the people that know. but it's my personal view that frankly, it's telling andifs view that frankly, it's telling and it's very, very sort of unsurprising that some of the medical establishment strongly disagree with what mosley had to say. in spite of his success. like all revolutionaries and innovators, michael mosley faced enormous pushback. and in fact, mosley's dietary approach directly contradicts the nhs official eat well guide, which encourages the consumption of carbohydrates and industrially produced vegetable oils as part of a so—called balanced diet .

of a so—called balanced diet. but this is nhs. this is nhs advice which has seen people get fatter, not thinner and type 2 diabetes explode. nhs advice, which has told patients that type 2 diabetes is incurable , type 2 diabetes is incurable, that it's a chronic condition which will only get worse and requires a lifetime of medication. well, mosley's millions of fans around the world would beg to differ, with countless individuals telling their stories of reversing their type 2 diabetes by eating in a smaller time window, by doing efficient, intense exercise , and efficient, intense exercise, and by cutting those carbs , putting by cutting those carbs, putting paid to the myth that it's all about calorie counting. so here's the science bit, which, of course, michael did so well, michael mosley explained on his tv shows and in his books that insulin is the main fat storage hormone of the body. when insulin is high, you store fat on your belly, your bum , and on your belly, your bum, and everywhere else when insulin is low, you burn it . it just melts

low, you burn it. it just melts away starchy food and processed carbohydrates spike insulin, which sees blood glucose converted into fat. mosley argued that a diet comprised of healthy protein like fish, eggs, meat and poultry , as well as meat and poultry, as well as green vegetables, salad, berries and healthy natural fats like extra virgin olive oil, will likely see the diabetes that you're suffering. enter into retreat . energy levels increase, retreat. energy levels increase, hunger disappear, and the waistline shrink . hunger disappear, and the waistline shrink. this is hunger disappear, and the waistline shrink . this is a waistline shrink. this is a method successfully rolled out by the inspirational nhs, gp and another regular on this show, doctor david unwin, who has achieved similar transformative results for his patients with the same method. michael mosley was successful because his approach worked for so many people. he changed and improved lives. i predict that his book sales will now go through the roof, meaning that many future lives will be saved as well. maybe yours. the fast 800 keto

book will, in my view, become a health bible in the years ahead. i certainly hope so . elvis i certainly hope so. elvis presley left us, but the music remains . and michael mosley was remains. and michael mosley was a total rock star himself in the medical field. he has tragically died, but his legacy lives on. the man is a hero and the passing of this expert on nutrition is hard to swallow . nutrition is hard to swallow. a remarkable guy, a lovely man may he rest in peace and may his legacy go on or get to your views shortly. have you read any of michael's books ? did it work of michael's books? did it work for you? are you curious about his method ? gbnews.com/yoursay his method? gbnews.com/yoursay like i said before, if you're going to change your diet, go and see your gp. although it's interesting to note that a lot of what he recommended was against what the nhs tell you to do . make your own against what the nhs tell you to do. make your own mind up. i

won't take sides. let's hear from my top pundits now. journalist and communications advisor linda jubilee gb news is senior political commentator nigel nelson and social worker and commentator joseph david. let me start with you , joseph, let me start with you, joseph, your reaction to the sad news of michael mosley's passing? >> i'm deeply sad to hear of the death of michael mosley. i think he was a visionary. he was funny , quirky and expert in his field, and he had something about him that inspired you that enabled you to connect with him through through his experiences and the fact that he knew his stuff and he believed in it. i'd like to wish his family a long life and may his memory be a blessing, you know, i'm somebody who's benefited from the five two diet myself. i used to have a size 36 waist. it's hard to believe i wasn't the fine specimen that i am today , but i specimen that i am today, but i still go back and watch his documentary vie on another outlet, which is less, impartial and reputable. but i use it to ,

and reputable. but i use it to, to look over the facts that he that he gave and the way that i was inspired all those years ago when i'm feeling a dip, and i can say that i very often feel that i've got much more energy , that i've got much more energy, and, and much more drive based on eating things at certain times. there's only so much you can get from eating. there's only so much enjoyment. you can get from eating if you put it at particular times, then the rest of the time have a healthy diet. overall, you're going to have a much healthier lifestyle, most definitely . how much weight much healthier lifestyle, most definitely. how much weight did you use? lose yourself roughly. do you think so? >> i used to be a size 36 waist. i'm now a size 32. >> unbelievable. your body is a temple. you look fantastic. you're a handsome devil. let me say, linda jubilee , we've lost say, linda jubilee, we've lost michael mosley, but his legacy will go on. >> absolutely. i mean, i think it's a terribly, terribly sad irony that he should die at such a young age when he has undoubtedly added decades of

lifespan to so many people. i was a reporter on itv's tonight programme for 7 or 8 years, and many of the programmes i did were about food and nutrition, and he undoubtedly led the way. although i can't speak much about intermittent dieting , i about intermittent dieting, i don't really know much about that. he undoubtedly waved the flag to stop people eating ultra processed food, which were so they are so harmful . and i think they are so harmful. and i think really the medical profession is right behind him in that regard, because these foods are calorie laden and he's the one to highlight that and to actually stress that we're eating, you know, enough to feed the average field worker in victorian times and sitting on the sofa . yes, briefly. >> nigel, we know the nhs is overwhelmed . ummed yes, it needs overwhelmed. ummed yes, it needs more money, but at some point we're going to have to tackle tackle lifestyle related illnesses . and really the great illnesses. and really the great michael mosley had the answer. he had a solution . he had a solution. >> yeah, yeah i think you're right. >> you're right mark. it's a legacy. he leaves behind. as you

can see, i'm not a great one for diets myself i think. >> can i just say i think you're perfect the way you are. and i think he's a very lucky woman , think he's a very lucky woman, are you a barrel chested? >> you. you've got the frame of a greek fisherman. and. >> so i had a very, very sort of, michael mosley, pasta and bread for lunch. but knowing that you're doing a tribute tonight, i had sushi for dinner, so i think he'd be quite pleased about that. >> really ? well, i'm pleased. >> really? well, i'm pleased. i hopeit >> really? well, i'm pleased. i hope it was sashimi, the raw fish and none of the raisi. >> it was. >> it was. >> i'm glad to hear it. listen, folks. there you go. a truly great guy. did you read his book? i'll get to your messages shortly. gbnews.com/win your say as they close in on the tories and amid claims reform could become the new opposition, has nigel farage his election gamble already paid off? i'll be asking former government minister ann widdecombe

next. well, a big reaction to my take

at ten. my tribute to michael mosley. this from phoebe woodson, who is a gb news member on the message board. hi, mark, i totally agree with your tribute to michael mosley. he was an inspiration and spent all his time scientifically testing all of the ways that people could help themselves without dependence on medication and gimmicky diet plans. he didn't deserve to die, lost and alone and my heart feels for his family. phoebe, thank you for that. you speak for all of my viewers and listeners in those words that you've just said about a lovely man. okay, folks, writing . in the daily express, writing. in the daily express, reform uk leader nigel farage has said that his party is in pole position to become the new opposition should the tories collapse at the general election, with the party closing in on the conservatives in the polls, has farages 11th hour election gamble already paid off? let's get the views of tonight's newsmaker, former government minister and broadcaster ann widdecombe. ann

lovely to see you this evening. you told me on this programme some time ago that nigel farage did not need to stand as an mp or lead the party. have you changed your mind ? is the lady changed your mind? is the lady for turning ? for turning? >> well, i'm certainly very glad and was very glad at the time that he changed his own mind and decided that he would, after all, stand as an mp. but above all, stand as an mp. but above all that he would lead the party. now i think richard tice did a tremendous job. he got us from being in a 2 or 3% in the polls to where we were when the election started, which was solidly in the teens, he did all of that. >> but nigel farage has that, sunak which the public just love, and, and so i'm, i'm absolutely delighted that he's chosen that , i do think that as chosen that, i do think that as long as he was campaigning for us up and down the country, he would have been effective. >> but he's doubly effective where he is now. >> and you think he's got the

anas sarwar? half the country thinks he's full of meled, he's having a laugh, isn't he? talking about being the opposition? if reform uk are lucky, they'll win one seat. >> no, he's not having a laugh at all. and nor am i when i say i do think we will become the effective opposition. >> now, you know. remember that nigel farage got us out of europe without setting foot inside westminster as an mp, so don't always under estimate what can be done from outside. and i think that when the next election is over and, the tories, i believe, will be reduced to a rump in parliament, i think a lot of them will look at reform and will say, hang on, they're saying what we used to say and could you give me a prediction or not a prediction, but but sort of the worst case scenario for rishi sunak. >> how small that rump could be. could it be less than 100 mps?

>> oh, i think it could very easily be that the way he's going. i mean, even the campaign has been a series of blunders, so but a week is a long time in politics. we've got three weeks until the election itself . i'm until the election itself. i'm not counting any chickens, nigel isn't counting any chickens , and isn't counting any chickens, and i think that we, you know, we will have to wait and see the scale of the defeat, but massive defeat it will be. and when they say a vote for reform is a vote for labour, that is nonsense. labouris for labour, that is nonsense. labour is going to win anyway . labour is going to win anyway. so you might as well argue that a vote for the tories is a vote for labour. >> and if the tories do collapse at the election, do they get replaced by reform uk or does nigel re—enter the tory machine in perhaps with your support and saves them in a dramatic takeover ? takeover? >> i think the only way they will be saved is not, by nigel joining the tories, but by them joining the tories, but by them

joining reform and having a realignment of the centre right . realignment of the centre right. >> i mean, that is what we need in this country. >> we need a realigning of the centre. >> right. because what we've got at westminster , we've got a red at westminster, we've got a red party and we've got a pink party. we haven't actually got a centre right party, although. >> and i would have thought that nigel farage fancies reinventing this venerated institution, the conservative party, the most successful political force in the history of european democracy, a party of which you were a proud member for many years . would you rejoin years. would you rejoin a reformed conservative party that enjoyed the support of someone like nigel farage? >> well, if it was being led by nigel farage, i would look at it extremely seriously. but it wouldn't be rejoining the conservative party. it would be a new party, a new centre right alignment. >> so, ann, are you determined? are you determined that the brand must die ? brand must die? >> i'm very determined that the

conservatives must actually be pulverised this time, in order that some sort of phoenix can rise from the ashes, because they can't go on as they are. i cannot believe , nigel, i know, cannot believe, nigel, i know, i'm sorry, not nigel. mark, i know i've said it before on your program. i'm going to say it again. i still can't believe it. i mean, just get into my head that a party that came in with an 80 majority and a massive mandate has made such an unholy mess of everything i can hardly believe it. and a lot of it, as i've said before, is to down the quality of mps, which is appalling . appalling. >> well, they certainly miss you, let me tell you that an and can we talk about social media? much of the election is being fought on tiktok, on twitter, instagram, all the rest of it. let's take a look at a couple of popular internet videos, known as memes to the kids. >> bombastic side i criminal offensive side i let me put he's

got a fear of something. >> not everybody in the general elections are. >> oh, well, there you go. and there's a satire. if you were running for your seat right now, would you be doing tiktok videos ? >> well, actually, 7 >> well, actually, no, i ? >> well, actually, no, i do 7 >> well, actually, no, i do no social media at all. and i resolutely stuck to that while i was an mp . and it was starting was an mp. and it was starting to come in as i was leaving, but now i think there is no argument at all that whether i did it or not or whether i got somebody else to do it, there would have to be some sort of presence on social media. >> i, you know, even if it's just facebook, i think it's very hard now to say that you can do

without it entirely. >> it's the new way of canvassing, and you are already an internet sensation because my brilliant digital team, daniel's working on the show tonight. >> we clip up your comments on a sunday night, they go viral. you make a lot of noise. you've had millions of impressions. long may it continue and i'll see you in a week's time. may it continue and i'll see you in a week's time . my thanks to in a week's time. my thanks to ann widdecombe there. next up, tomorrow's newspaper front pages and live reaction from tonight's top pundits. plus, in the last word , all the election latest word, all the election latest and a civil war in europe is frexit. that's right. the french brexit on way . we'll be asking

next. it's 1030, so time for tomorrow's front pages . the tomorrow's front pages. the daily mirror, that's the topic of our take at ten. doctor michael mosley dead. he so very

nearly made it. wife's tribute to tv doc. after body found in searing heat near a bar daily mail. my brilliant husband michael, so very nearly made it. it seems he fell from a certain height, tried to scramble back into a safe position, but ultimately perished. the times macron calls snap election after populists make gains in the eu. tories must embrace farage says suella braverman and wife's tribute after tv doctor found dead.the tribute after tv doctor found dead. the guardian wonderful and kind tributes after michael mosley found dead. macron calls snap election after surge of the far right . oh, that pesky far right. oh, that pesky democracy a also gantz quits emergency war cabinet in israel. the israeli politician and former military chief benny gantz has followed through on a threat to resign from benjamin netanyahu's emergency war cabinet, leaving the prime minister more reliant on far right elements of his coalition government . and labour pledged

government. and labour pledged to create 100,000 nursery places. the eye newspaper labour yet to convince voters on key policy areas , according to a new policy areas, according to a new poll. this is a bmg research survey for the eye, suggesting keir starmer has yet to convince voters that labour has the answers to the challenges facing britain. this, ahead of this week's manifesto launch, which financial times labour throws out proposal to bring back lifetime cap on tax free pensions and the metro. grief for kind, brilliant husband heartbreak. as tv docs body found . those are your front found. those are your front pages. let's get full pundit reaction now. journalist and communications adviser linda jubilee gb news, senior political commentator nigel nelson and social worker and commentatorjoseph david. so many stories that we need to sink our teeth into . yeah, we'll sink our teeth into. yeah, we'll go back to michael mosley in a moment, but can i ask you about

this story, linda jubilee in the times the tories must embrace nigel farage, says former home secretary suella braverman . is secretary suella braverman. is she right , secretary suella braverman. is she right, i think that's a very difficult question to answer. i understand why she has said it, because that's what she believes is the answer. but i don't know really whether that's wise, a wise thing to articulate it right at the moment. >> yes. >> yes. >> nigel nelson, you heard ann widdecombe there waxing lyrical about nigel farage and how potentially within days he could become the opposition with the tories, a small rump on those green benches. what's your appraisal of this sort of farage fever we're currently seeing at the moment? >> well, i mean, certainly he's he's damaging the tories and he will be actually, helping labour get a bigger majority. i think at the moment the idea that nigel farage will then go on to lead the tories is a bit far

fetched, kemi badenoch says if she was leader that he won't be allowed into the party now. suella braverman i would imagine, will run for the leadership too. she's obviously suggesting that he might be allowed in, because of the first past the post system. even if he starts getting mps and at the moment, the way the polling is going, he would get about three mps, but once they get to 20 points, they would get more. the idea of being able to be the effective opposition is not really a goer. if the tories collapse, the lib dems are going to be going to be the opposition. >> i mean , i suppose the >> i mean, i suppose the prospect of nigel farage in the house of commons, he will certainly use that platform for all it's worth, won't he. oh yeah. >> absolutely. i mean, he is a consummate politician. he's very good at the at the game of politics. but more than rishi sunak is, for instance . so he'll sunak is, for instance. so he'll certainly do that. but i'm not sure he's going to have the, the power base within the commons to be able to do much more than

sound off. >> yes. i mean, do you think the conservatives should be showing nigel farage a bit of leg yourself? >> well, interesting way of putting it, conservativism is much more than nigel farage. if the party returned to traditional conservative values, they wouldn't need just one individual. well, this has been built for years, ever since the labour government of 97 and tony blair. we've all been blairite since we haven't actually had a social conservative. we had an economic conservative for a few days and look how the system closed her down, so yeah, i, i don't think necessarily that nigel farage is the answer for the conservative party. however, he is the answer when it comes to the politics of fear and a limited pool of parties to actually vote for more. democracy is always good. >> well , i democracy is always good. >> well, i think the tories are panicking on every level, and i think suella not to panic about. that's right. i mean, they could be facing a wipe—out. yeah. so the idea that suella braverman

wants to entertain this with nigel farage, i think is a little bit, it's just a week. it'll be seen as another national service announcement. >> it'll be seen as another desperate announcement. >> it's another panic stricken week gimmick. that's the problem with it. >> could things get worse for rishi sunak in the weeks ahead? >> worse ? yeah. of course. >> worse? yeah. of course. >> worse? yeah. of course. >> what do you think, nigel? well, has he got all the bad news out of the way now? >> well, i mean, everyone thought that at the moment that his high spot seems to be being rained on, making the announcement in the first place, that everyone thought that was the low that we, the worst party was imagining thing. what happenedin was imagining thing. what happened in canada back in 1993? the conservatives went into the election with 156 mps and a majority ended up with two two. polls are talking at the moment about 50 odd tory mps coming back. so yes, it could get an awful lot worse for rishi sunak, is there still a case for a rishi led conservative government? yosef david, absolutely.

>> until the election. and then we'll see how he does , i the we'll see how he does, i the voters will make their decision. i think we all know we can all feel the temperature and see the way things are going, rishi sunak was not elected by by the country . he also wasn't elected country. he also wasn't elected by the party membership , so for by the party membership, so for stability reasons, he must lead us into the next election. and after that , we're going to have after that, we're going to have to take stock, look at the amount of seats that we have, how we fared, how the public have treated us, and then make a decision based on that. >> but is there any reason for my viewers or listeners to vote conservative on july the 4th? >> yes . if you conservative on july the 4th? >> yes. if you don't conservative on july the 4th? >> yes . if you don't want conservative on july the 4th? >> yes. if you don't want a labour government, the party that can be in power instead of labouris that can be in power instead of labour is the conservatives is thatis labour is the conservatives is that is that it? >> is that the best you've got, right now , what i you are right now, what i you are a conservative supporter, aren't you? >>i you? >> i am, what you will get with the labour party , which is as the labour party, which is as much a criticism of the labour party as you, as the

conservatives. what you will get the labour party is much the same as what you will get with the conservative party. it does not fill me with joy to say that. it's a very hard thing to say, but the party's are very, very similar. >> but at the end of the day it kind of goes back to what you were saying, mark, with your monologue at the beginning of the programme, unless someone seriously addresses the economy , seriously addresses the economy, we are going to be in dire straits. we are certainly going to have to do the hard yards for between 5 and 10 years. so the problem is people are truly confused now about who to vote for later on, we'll be discussing the eyes front page headune discussing the eyes front page headline , which is exactly headline, which is exactly saying this. it's not saying that the situation is desperate for labour, it's simply saying that people don't really understand or want to vote for labour policies. but it's no better for conservatives . better for conservatives. >> well, i'm glad you picked on that story in the eye. nigel nelson, labour yet to convince voters on key policy areas, and this in the guardian, which should be a good news story for laboun should be a good news story for labour. but i think it raises more questions than it answers,

which is labour pledge to create 100,000 nursery places with out raising income tax, vat or national insurance . how's that national insurance. how's that going to work? >> yeah, i mean, i think you can do that. >> the answer is that there is spare capacity in the back of the sofa. pardon? >> back of the sofa. >> back of the sofa. >> and there is spare capacity in, in primary schools. and what you do is that you put your nurseries in, say, a classroom that's not being used. i mean, that's not being used. i mean, thatis that's not being used. i mean, that is the plan. it goes along with the breakfast clubs that they're also they're also going to talking about the money comes from the extending the tax on non—doms. so all that is possible. but it is that's the joined up policy on early years for children . for children. >> okay. >> okay. >> i mean what do you what do you think about that joseph? david i mean the public will look at some of these ambitious plans from labour and wonder how it's going to be paid for, just as they would criticise the tories for their spending plans as well. >> so i think labour's policies very often can be characterised by unfunny plans, and they,

they've somewhat been muted with regard to, to their plans. in fact keir starmer didn't rule out a cut to public services. they're trying to sound like the party of government, what will happen when they're challenged by the unions after after a few months in power remains to be seen. but at the moment, months in power remains to be seen. but at the moment , this seen. but at the moment, this seems to one be of the one of the worst policies in terms of it not being funded. they are talking fairly sensibly at the moment, okay. >> brilliant stuff. and whites tribute after tv doctor found dead. tribute after tv doctor found dead . this is a guy, nigel dead. this is a guy, nigel nelson, who was on our tv screens in many ways, probably the best communicator about medical issues in the country , medical issues in the country, because he didn't sound like a scientist, did he? >> he was highfalutin , never a >> he was highfalutin, never a doctor either. he went through a qualified doctor. he was a qualified doctor. he was a qualified doctor, but he never actually practised, practised medicine. so maybe that's why he

was so good. >> i was going to say that probably that is the reason he's more of a journalist than he was a doctor. so he had all the ideas and he was able to actually communicate them. >> yeah , most definitely >> yeah, most definitely brilliant. >> he had self—belief because things had actually happened to him as his father had had worked, because he knew that the very low calorie diet worked. he had the voice of authenticity. it's what every communication adviser wants to tell people. >> most definitely. well, coming up, more of tomorrow's newspaper front pages and live reaction in the studio from tonight's top pundits. and in the last word, i'm delighted to say we'll be joined by our top fleet street insider for more electoral twists and turns. our labour ready for government. we'll

next. welcome back. more front pages. just in hot off the press, courtesy of producer james. just in hot off the press, courtesy of producerjames. and courtesy of producer james. and we have the daily telegraph. macron trounced in right wing eu

surge. michael mosley. so nearly made it. and sunak pledges to put 8000 more bobbies on the beat. and the daily star asparagus psychic tip mystic veg beat england to win. that's right, england will win the euros, says a world famous as paramhansa who predicts the future , by the way. tips land future, by the way. tips land spean future, by the way. tips land spear. we go , say the daily star spear. we go, say the daily star . i do hope that harry kane's wii doesn't smell weird after that. wii doesn't smell weird after that . asparagus, listen, lots of that. asparagus, listen, lots of big stories to sink our teeth into. let's do that in the last word, in the company of the deputy political editor and columnist at the mail on sunday, anna mihaylova. anna, thank you so much forjoining us. lovely to see you on the program. first of all, rishi sunak pledges to put 8000 bobbies on the beat. will that move the political dial ? it's a will that move the political dial? it's a very good question.

certainly number 10 is very keen to move the conversation off, away from d—day , will this have away from d—day, will this have an effect? probably not. considering the telegraph isn't even splashing it. but, i mean, the most interesting part of the announcement, i think, is the way they said they're going to fund it, which is by increasing the surcharge on, people who come here on health degrees and, and general visas. so there's an immigration angle that does sound like pretty clever policy. i haven't seen the detail and obviously is designed to appeal to that base. the one you were describing earlier that suella braverman is so very much trying to woo. >> anna. you are a veteran of the political circuit. do you think that rishi sunak has reached the point of no return ? reached the point of no return? >> oh, i mean, i think the d—day decision is going to mark his campaign, and even further than that. i mean, we had people telling us yesterday that , it's telling us yesterday that, it's coming up on the doorstep already with conservative mps, not just about the campaign.

they say they're even going to be talking about it the day after election day. i mean, it's that big. i think it actually might. seeing the strength of feeling about it, it might actually affect the way people view his premiership, not just the campaign . the campaign. >> indeed, of course, labour are aheadin >> indeed, of course, labour are ahead in the polls. it looks like an insuperable lead that they now enjoy . is sir keir they now enjoy. is sir keir starmer ready for number 10? are labour ready for power? >> well, they're certainly doing a lot to be ready. so sue gray, who as we know keir starmer poached from a very, you know, very senior job in the civil service. herjob is to work up his first hundred days. i mean she's been doing this for months actually. so they are certainly trying to get themselves match fit, as they call it, and, and actually map up the first few months in office. and of course, she is someone who knows the civil service inside out. i mean, the big question is what surprises will there be, come election day ? because, you know,

election day? because, you know, for example, i mean, we'll see the labour manifesto this week, but it's expected to be very thin on the ground , very thin on thin on the ground, very thin on detail, remember when tony blair came in the one of the biggest things he did at the beginning in his premiership was make the bank of england independent. now, that wasn't in the manifesto. so there may well be surprises that we just don't know about. >> and do you feel do you have the impression that sir keir starmer himself is ready for the top job, or do you think it's going to be a bumpy start? should he prevail on the 4th of july? >> well , that is the again to >> well, that is the again to come back to tony blair, his famous quote that when you enter downing street, you're the you have the biggest amount of political capital. but the least amount of readiness. and when you leave, you're the most ready to be doing the job. but you are. you have absolutely no ability to do it because no one believes in you anymore. so look, he'll be personally very i think he's obviously been preparing for it, i think, you know, the economy, the state of

the economy, the state of the country and the state of geopolitics is going to be so difficult that his in—tray is just going to be extremely, extremely hard, he's going to grapple with everything that rishi sunak's been grappling with. i think that we are i think, as you've already said on the programme, in for a very bumpy few years ahead, anna, i'll bring my pundits in in just a moment. >> but but it's interesting, isn't it? the uk looks to be an anomaly at the moment because it's likely that we will shift to the left with a labour government on the 5th of july. meanwhile, continental europe is shifting right, and an extraordinary story in the telegraph reported in a couple of the other papers as well. the guardian and the times, which is emmanuel macron, has called a snap legislative election because of a right wing surge in the eu parliamentary elections. so we're shifting left, but the continent's going right. what's going on? >> well, look, first of all,

we're not shifting left . we're we're not shifting left. we're shifting centrist. and because obviously keir starmer is not a left wing government, it will be a centrist or new labour type government. now, secondly, the trend of the right being in ascendance in europe has been happening for a while , and i happening for a while, and i don't really know why. in most political analysts spend a lot of time analysing this. but the uk has bucked the trend so far. there have been many, many, as you all know, reports in previous years of oh is the is the uk also going to switch to the uk also going to switch to the right. and actually that doesn't happened, that may be down to the way our electoral system is shaped. it may just be down to an anomaly of us being slightly, you know, separate from europe, of course. obviously, but but that hasn't really happened. and, and what we'll see with the conservative party is that debate playing out. so there will be people very much looking at europe, looking at what's happening in france and saying, this is about

to happen here. this is happening here, and then there are those same, other the other side of that will be saying , side of that will be saying, absolutely not. if you do that, you're going to be out in the cold for more than one parliament. and the only way to win elections in britain is through the centre ground. >> well, anna, stay with us. let's bring our pundits in, if i can. linda jubilee, nigel nelson and joseph david, linda jubilee, do you agree with anna mihaylova there that actually this incarnation of labour is fairly centre ground? i just wonder whether if you've got angela rayner as deputy prime minister and probably some other major cabinet post, whether actually there'll be a tension between left and right of the party, i think that's what there is a lot of speculation about , but i do of speculation about, but i do think that clearly , keir starmer think that clearly, keir starmer has pushed his to party the, to the centre ground. that's that's obvious to everyone , i don't obvious to everyone, i don't think you've got the kind of social socialist government

we've seen in the past, but it is quite difficult to explain the anomaly between what's going on in europe and what's going on in the uk. it'll be interesting to see how it rolls out in europe. >> well, indeed . joseph, what do >> well, indeed. joseph, what do you make of these headlines? because the daily telegraph are calling this in europe a right wing eu surge. but the guardian are calling it far right. i mean, giorgia meloni was called far right. the italian prime minister when she was elected. well, she hasn't done anything particularly controversial so far. >> i wouldn't put too much emphasis or interest on what the guardian labels people as, what i would say is that the european union continues to ignore its citizens. this is why people like le pen are being given the time of day. the reason why the right continues to rise in europe is because people are tied into this political union that they don't really understand, and couldn't explain. if you ask them and they get ignored, time and again, every time there is an election, people don't want

federalism, they want localism. and in france , we're seeing the and in france, we're seeing the results of this, anna, listen , results of this, anna, listen, any big predictions for this week? >> you're expecting a rather underwhelming, or at least certainly lacking in detail, labour manifesto . so, is there labour manifesto. so, is there anything rishi sunak can do? i mean, it's kitchen sink time now, isn't it? >> it's absolutely kitchen sink, well, we've got the two manifestos and then, there will be the reaction to rishi sunak's manifesto from within his own party. so i've spoken to mps who in the last few days say that if he doesn't go far enough on certain issues like the echr so, for example, if he doesn't pledge to either quit or have a referendum on quitting, they will run rogue campaigns of their own in their constituencies and promise this themselves . themselves. >> so this is the oh my goodness, anna, sorry to interrupt you. that's unbelievable. the wheels could fall off before polling day. anna, great to have you on the show. anna mikhailova from the mail on sunday. thanks to my punst mail on sunday. thanks to my pundits and the team, i'll see
