bev. >> very good morning. it's 935. another week is upon us monday morning. i thank you forjoining morning. i thank you for joining us on britain's newsroom gb news me bev turner and andrew pierce. >> so sad about michael. very sad. tributes are pouring in. of course , for the tv doctor course, for the tv doctor michael mosley. he was probably most famous for his diet. you eat normally for five days. two days you virtually starve yourself. >> that's right. he actually reversed his own diabetes. in fact, by by doing this, he was very good. on being ahead of the curve on the starvation system of like, say , five days of of like, say, five days of eating and two days of not eating and two days of not eating . and tragically, his body eating. and tragically, his body was found on the greek island of symi yesterday after going missing on wednesday , he's missing on wednesday, he's obviously got he has four grown up children who were all out in the island with their mum. really sad. >> research what i still find inexplicable about this, walking inexplicable about this, walking in the east, he set up on that walk at half past one. he clearly got lost, but he just had an umbrella with him and a

baseball cap. the midday heat, the heat in the in the greece. and that greek island in the afternoon was 43 c. yeah. >> he had a small to be walking in. he had a small bottle of water with him, no telephone, no telephone. >> we don't know the cause of death. he clearly had a fall. yeah, of some kind , i think. yeah, of some kind, i think. probably probably sustained a head injury. i think by by some accounts on that, having had that fall , he'd been walking for that fall, he'd been walking for about 2.5 hours, we think. yeah and, you know, i mean, there's been some criticism of him for not having his telephone with him. i think that's a bit harsh, really. i think we can't say he's on holiday. it's exactly the kind of walk that you would do when you think i'll be fine. i'm not. i'm not going to take my telephone. >> well, i'm very sorry, because he wrote a lot of his. a lot of his books were serialised in the mail and he was often in the building. and you always knew when he was in the building, because there was a lot of fun and a lot of laughter, because he was such an all round nice quy-

>> guy- >> i quy- >> i would be dishonest if i didn't say he disappointed me a little bit when he was. he said he wouldn't have anyone in his house who hadn't had the covid vaccine. and he criticised, novak djokovic for not taking that drug. and you know, for me, that drug. and you know, for me, that was disappointing because i respected him enormously as a doctor, but very sad for his family, terrible, terrible for his children . varne. and, just his children. varne. and, just it just shows you, doesn't it? life like life. it's live every day as though it's your last. as my mum says, go out every morning and be nice to everybody and know that you just never know what's around the corner. >> well , on know what's around the corner. >> well, on the know what's around the corner. >> well , on the election, know what's around the corner. >> well, on the election, a big split has emerged in the labour party over their flagship policy of putting vat on every private school place. now, camilla tominey interviewed emily thornberry yesterday, the shadow attorney general, who admitted class sizes in the states will have to grow because even by conservative estimates , it means conservative estimates, it means so many schools will close. so many children, parents will take kids out of school. at least 40,000 will be thrust straight into the state sector by january i >> -- >> it's got i would say that is conservative. i really do think

so, emily thornberry, the quote was it would be fine if we have to, in the short term, have larger classes. extraordinary. a shadow education secretary as andrew said, bridget phillipson said that she's got the policies impact wrong. let's have a listen to that conversation on camilla tominey on gb news yesterday. >> i think we're going to spend money on we're saying where the money on we're saying where the money is coming from because we have a properly we will have a properly costed manifesto and all our spending commitments will be, will be costed and we will be, will be costed and we will be, will be costed and we will be able to say where it comes from. and sure, you know, there may well be complaints about it, i understand that, but i'm afraid that if i have a choice between putting vat on private schools and making sure that the children in my area can have breakfast before they start learning, i know where i am . learning, i know where i am. >> she did also in that choice. >> she did also in that choice. >> yeah, the punishment . and i'm >> yeah, the punishment. and i'm telling you, this is the class war envy at labour at its worst. but she's admitted if the price to pay is smaller, is bigger classes in the state sector in the short term, that's a price worth paying. well, tell me and

labour are now saying, well, lots of schools have got spaces . lots of schools have got spaces. you're not the good schools. >> absolutely. the good schools are already full. and also the idea that she's saying we need to tax the private schools, private businesses and so that we can feed other people's kids. if your kid hasn't had breakfast before, you go to school , that's before, you go to school, that's on the parent. that's your fault. as a parent. why is this the state saying we're going to punish those children over there whose families can afford private school in order to feed the children whose parents can't be bothered to make them a bowl of porridge in the morning, and every child will get the free breakfast and they don't. >> so what a waste of money, because there are so many children that don't need a free breakfast. >> this is a glimpse of a labour government. i find it really deeply concerning. >> the other glimpse for me came when keir starmer admitted in the tv debate last week to i had rewind it twice because i thought i misheard him. no, he wouldn't use private, go private if a loved one, his wife or one of his kids was on a waiting list and seriously ill. what why

wouldn't you? >> let's talk to tony presley now. he's the director of brazilian public policy and education consultancy and author of lessons from lockdown. good morning , tony. thank you for morning, tony. thank you for joining us. so, tell us your assessment. first of all, what you think the impacts might be of this 20% vat on private school children? there are about 600,000 children who are lucky enough to attend private school in the uk . in the uk. >> well, first of all, i'm not convinced by the hoo ha over this , there will be some this, there will be some independent schools that will struggle. there will be some that close and there will be some children withdrawn from the sector, but economists would refer to something like, private school fees as a giffen good. in other words, when they go up , other words, when they go up, what people do is they substitute away from other things to continue, continue paying things to continue, continue paying those fees. so i think the idea that, every child or some large proportion of children who currently receive

that exemption or their families receive that exemption on the fees will wind up the next morning at the local state school is fanciful . that's school is fanciful. that's simply not going to happen. what it will mean is, is that people who are paying those fees will tighten their belts in other areas, of course, that may have other economic impacts, but i think that this will be a much smaller effect. i think the other thing that's important to point out here, whatever the issue on class size is, i have never heard an i'm a former chair of governors, my wife's a former head teacher. we've been in the system all our lives in different ways. i've never heard a head teacher complain about an influx of aspiring middle class children. so the idea that this is going to be problematic for the state sector sector is just not the case. >> it's problematic for those individual children, tony. it's problematic for those individual

children who have to be taken out of a school where they've got friendship group and they're parts of clubs and activities and all of that. when they like their they like their school. well sorry. tough. you've got to go into that one now. >> yeah. i'm not disputing that at all. of course this where families decide that they need to take their children out of an independent school and the children are happy there. of course, that's as a consequence , course, that's as a consequence, but equally, the reality is that children do form new friendships. they do settle into new places and so forth. i just don't think this is going to happen on the scale that people are talking about. i think what's going to happen is that people, those families, will substitute away from other items of consumption. they will tighten their proverbial belts , tighten their proverbial belts, and most of those children will remain in independent schools. >> well, we've already seen two schools have closed, have announced they're closing already, tony. and there was a very interesting letter in the

daily telegraph last week from a headteacher of a rural private school with 600 kids. he says already he feels the impact and he's not sure he'll be open in a year's time where are those children going to go to school ? children going to go to school? >> well, those children will have to be found places in the state sector, but i'm just not convinced that schools, independent schools that have been run as businesses that i'm assuming have been well run as businesses will not be able to make the necessary adjustments for this. in the main, of course, there will be cases and of course the individual impact matters and it will be felt. but actually the idea that state schools there's oversupply in the state system at the moment. we have lots of under—subscribed schools. and of course the irony is they're rubbish. >> tony. that's because they're not good schools. no, but the ones that if you've got the great schools, the outstanding state schools have such demand that people will move to those

areas. the ones with space often have. areas. the ones with space often have . english is not the first have. english is not the first language for the majority of children . you've got head children. you've got head switch. it's got a revolving door of different head teachers and go on. >> yeah, but that's not because they're rubbish schools. that's because they have enormous challenges . let's be fair. you challenges. let's be fair. you know, i and many of my colleagues , we've spent an awful colleagues, we've spent an awful lot of our career in the toughest of schools . i've heard toughest of schools. i've heard them described as career damagingly difficult schools . damagingly difficult schools. but please don't describe them as rubbish schools. oh, no. >> you can have rubbish heads. you can have some brilliant governors. i put all the power in the hands of the governors. with my experience, i think often they'd run the school better than the heads. but you can have terrible head teachers who are tired and don't want to do the job anymore. you can have whingy teachers who are dictated to by the unions and take any opportunity to strike. there are some rubbish schools . some rubbish schools. >> well, let's let's. i'm not eveni >> well, let's let's. i'm not even i just don't i don't think we need to use that language . we need to use that language. schools have different

challenges and yes, some head teachers burn out and all the rest of it. i wouldn't put chairs of governors up against heads, partly because that would be really difficult in my marriage. my wife's just retired as a head of an outstanding school. right, and, and, and i've been a chair for many years in the state sector . this is not in the state sector. this is not about good schools, bad schools. the point i am making is that the schools that currently have the schools that currently have the greatest number of vacancies often have the biggest social challenges. the irony is that they might gain most from gaining an influx of aspiring children, but this is not going to be cataclysmic in in the way described, we shall have to monitor it. we shall have to see how it goes, but but actually, i think that this is the reddest of red herrings. >> okay, tony, can i ask you one last question on this? wouldn't you prefer to see the money that labour are going to splurge on breakfast for every single child? shouldn't that be spent instead on books, music ,

instead on books, music, tuition, perhaps extra physical activities in lunchtime and after school? wouldn't that be a better use? is it really the job of schools to provide breakfast for every kid ? for every kid? >> well, i think, i think, i think there's two things i'm not unsympathetic to the point you're making at all. i mean, it's an issue, isn't it? right across the taxation and benefits system about whether it needs to be more progressive. and i think there is a legitimate debate about when we make things universal. we hand meals to those who could afford them and so forth. but you know, the parents of who can't afford that bowl of porridge or they're working commitments are that they're out in the morning at they're out in the morning at the same time as their children or before them. i don't think we should be criticising them as parents. what we do want to see is to make sure that every child begins school. you know , healthy begins school. you know, healthy and ready to learn. that's the challenge. but yes, i'd love to see the money spent on exactly the things you're talking about, andrew. and actually, if we have more children from the

independent sector coming into the state system, it will help move the axis in some of those things. >> all right. thank you tony. great conversation tony breton, their director of brazilian pubuc their director of brazilian public policy i like him i like the fact that he was very straight with us. yeah, just let me look at some numbers. oh we can't i'm going to tell you after the break, we'll look at what the private school fees cost and what the increase will mean for families and then you tell me at home whether you think families will be able to afford it, because i just don't subscribe to the idea that it isn't going to affect people. >> and it's so we don't. and what they're saying is we don't care about the 7% in schools. it's all about the 93. they should be caring about every child. >> and i'm sorry, every parent can afford a bowl of porridge for their children in the morning. if you're asking the middle class professional aspiring parents to cut their cloth accordingly to pay 20, you can cut your cloth accordingly and afford a bowl of porridge. i'm sorry. right? looking at pensions. next, you can make porridge of water money. i mean, i'm not saying you can. >> actually, when i was really poonl >> actually, when i was really poor, i did. >> i think you can probably also make it with milk. it's. you don't need . it's not gruel. half

don't need. it's not gruel. half and half. well you can a bowl of porridge, right? don't go anywhere.

gb news. welcome back. so i said before. we're talking about this private school. i want to give you some fees. just. just to get our heads around what this would mean for people. so the average term's fees in the uk is £5,500 per term. >> so 20% on top of that. >> so 20% on top of that. >> and there are. and that's what takes it to six, six, six two. yeah that's three term's a yeah two. yeah that's three term's a year. yeah. so a family with two children let's face it. because most people have got a couple of kids have got to find an extra £2,220 a term which is £6,660 a year after tax . year after tax. >> so that's going to be granny, granny and grandma. >> can you help out? you've got to earn 13 grand. >> and some of these families are probably really struggling to get to where they are already. yeah. and they've got to find 20. and here's the thing

with taxes, they never cut them. when it's 20% now the next budget, it will be 22, 24, 25. >> and it's eye—watering amounts of money. but do you know what? it won't affect the super rich. no. they just they just they're going to swallow up 6700, £7,000 a year, like that. of course they are. it's all the other people who are already struggling. >> let's talk about school fees and let's talk about another potential tax raid, this time on pensions . let's talk to tom pensions. let's talk to tom mcphail, who is a pensions expert. tom the we're he's he's he's director at the financial consultancy the lang cat. tom, explain to us is it is it possible that labour could in government tax your in pension as part of somebody's inheritance. so if my partner dies pension left to me, could they really stick an inheritance tax on that which currently there isn't . there isn't. >> well i think it's not just possible. i think it's quite likely, we've got this situation at the moment where most of your

wealth is subject to inheritance tax and the normal course of events, and there are there's an exempt allowance at the bottom end, but any wealth above that is subject to inheritance tax. but your pension funds are not subject to inheritance tax. and you can build up very substantial sums of money, hundreds of thousand pounds, even over £1 million in your pension fund. and then when you die , if you die under the age of die, if you die under the age of 75, it passes on entirely tax free. the whole lump sum can come out entirely tax free. even if you die after the age of 75, it's only subject to income tax at the point when it's drawn out. and the effect of all of this is we've got this strange situation where your employer puts money into a pension for you. you don't get taxed on it, it grows in, the investments grow and it doesn't get taxed. and then potentially you can pass the money on tax free as well. and given the way labour have ruled out major tax rises on income tax, national insurance, vat, you know, the big ticket items we know they're

going to be scrabbling around to find money from somewhere . we find money from somewhere. we know they favour wealth taxes over income taxes. so in that context pension funds look like a soft target to me. okay >> interesting. i'm sorry. it was short and sweet. tom, we will revisit this another day as well, i'm sure, though, and we will give you will give you go to the labour response after the weather. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather from the met office. it's a bit of a cloudy start for many of us this morning, and a damp start too. although there are some drier and brighter interludes on the way. the area of rain that we've seen sinking its way south and eastwards overnight eventually clears its way towards the southeast, but could lead to some travel disruption during the morning rush hour across eastern parts of england . it's eastern parts of england. it's closely followed behind by plenty of heavy and blustery

showers , these perhaps turning showers, these perhaps turning to some longer spells of rain across parts of scotland and parts of wales and southwest england. seeing the best of the sunshine this afternoon. but temperatures here only around 18 or 19 degrees and struggling to reach much more than the low to mid teens further north. as we go through the rest of monday there, we're still going to be plenty of showers around through the latter half of the afternoon , but parts of southwestern england and wales generally staying that little, little bit dner staying that little, little bit drier and brighter. so some late sunshine here, heavy showers still across northern parts of england and maybe 1 or 2 across northern ireland too, but generally staying a little bit cloudier for parts of scotland. and those showers do continue to pushin and those showers do continue to push in from the north, pushing their way southwards into monday evening and into the start of tuesday. so those showers do continue for a time through monday evening, but they will gradually start to ease overnight, so generally turning dner overnight, so generally turning drier for most of us as we go into the start of tuesday. as it's turning drier , there will it's turning drier, there will be plenty of clear spells around and that will lead to temperatures dropping a little lower than we saw on the previous night, particularly

across the southern half of the uk, where we could see some rural frost in places, particularly in those rural areas with temperatures dropping down into the low single figures. that does mean that tuesday starts a bit of a drier and brighter day for many of us. still, 1 or 2 showers around, particularly across parts of scotland and along some eastern coasts as we head towards the afternoon and some cloud bubbung afternoon and some cloud bubbling up as well. so perhaps a bit of a cloudier end to the day. the showers across eastern parts of england perhaps not quite as heavy as on monday , but quite as heavy as on monday, but temperatures are still a little below average for the time of year. below average for the time of year . only the below average for the time of year. only the mid to below average for the time of year . only the mid to high below average for the time of year. only the mid to high teens further south and still in those low double figures further north, that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on

psychological assessments urgently needed. i think rowena is talking about psychological assessment on the children, but it's a long message , and lisa it's a long message, and lisa said, how do we know if the children haven't had breakfast? it's a really good point. if you're giving breakfast to all the kids, we've already got too many fat kids. you're going to be giving kids two, two lots of breakfast as well , be giving kids two, two lots of breakfast as well, i just can't i can't get my head around this. theidea i can't get my head around this. the idea that that labour are just going to hand out free for breakfast everybody, and if you criticise it, you're accused of being heartless . being heartless. >> oh, you want children to starve. but why? there's no need for it. >> it's no need for children starve. i know that some parents have to get out of the door early to get to work. i'm one of them. we have to get out of the door early, but that means my kids get up and they make their own breakfast. or if we're all running a bit late, i'll make them a bowl of porridge, or i'll fry them an egg. just do something quick. it doesn't have to be complicated. it doesn't have to be difficult, and jedi. jedi jedi knight, he's called himself, i presume that's not not your real name. i'm a pensioner. can i have a free

supper ? hahaha. yeah, it does supper? hahaha. yeah, it does feel like that, doesn't it? rhiannon says i wouldn't want school to feed my children. i want to oversee what they're eating and how much. absolutely. and eric says kids should be given free breakfast at school so that the teachers can then brush their teeth afterwards. that's their other policy . that's their other policy. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> they are. they're bringing in people to teach your kids how to brush the teeth and of course, every school is going to have a mental health expert, too. where is all this money coming from? >> parent your own kids, right? europe seems to be a meltdown with the surge of the right french president emmanuel macron has surprised people by calling a snap election after his party suffered calamitous results in the elections to the european parliament. so in this humiliating defeat, marine le pen's national rally reached more than twice. macron's party vote share. >> meanwhile, in belgium, poor general election results has led to the prime minister there pledging to resign. >> so is this just proof that we're better off out of the eu? and what is going on in europe? joining us now is political editor at the huffpost uk, kevin schofield, and political correspondent at the spectator,

james heal. morning, gentlemen. james, let's start with you . why james, let's start with you. why this rise of what is called the populist right across europe, do you think? >> well, a huge part of that is immigration. and i think often we talk about the small boats crisis in the uk. we ignore the fact, of course, this is a european wide problem here, if anything, the europeans have it worse than us because they've got the mediterraneans landing there. and so what we're seeing right now is a kind of backlash against the incumbent governments for failing to deal with that in france in germany and belgium as well. and i think that's going to really kind of shake up what we see in terms of european politics with the g7 meeting next week, you've got maloney. her hands strengthened after the results last night. and i think what we could say perhaps, is that 2016, we saw brexit and trump. and that was the year the new right emerged. perhaps we'll see 2024 as the kind of year in the continent when the new right consolidates its grip on power, kevin . its grip on power, kevin. >> yeah, i hardly disagree with anything that james has said there. i mean, what i would say is that maybe we shouldn't, over analyse it, you know, the right ,

analyse it, you know, the right, the far right have absolutely done well in these elections. however the centre right and centrist politicians in most countries has actually held, although , you know, they've although, you know, they've experienced losses as well. they are clinging on at the moment. so maybe we shouldn't overplay. the march of the far right. but, you know, it's france is the big story this morning. absolutely extraordinary developments there with the snap election. and you know hats off to the french. they know how to do a snap election. they're going to have it before the end of the month. yeah. well we've still got another four weeks to go. nearly. so, so we'll find out very soon exactly whether that gamble by emmanuel macron has paid off. but it is absolutely after the results in france last night and marine le pen doing very well. you know, he's really laying it all on the line and it could blow up in his face. >> it could. and of course marine le pen would say if she was here, kevin , i'm not the far was here, kevin, i'm not the far right. she's not her. she's not her father. she's it is now. it's not even called the national front anymore. they've changed the name. she's moved much more into the mainstream .

much more into the mainstream. >> no, you're right, she would say that. but, you know, the legacy of her father and, you know, where that party has, has come from. you know, i don't think it's too much of a leap to say that they're certainly on the outer fringes of politics, on the right. and clearly, emmanuel macron sees it as enough of a threat , to want to enough of a threat, to want to take it head on. but, you know, as i say, it's a huge gamble. and, you know, i saw this morning someone likened it to when david cameron called the brexit referendum to try and deal with, internal problem in the conservative party. and we know how that ended up for him. so, you know, it could well be the same for emmanuel macron. >> james, what the right is not advancing in this country. it might be in france and it might be in italy, but it's in retreat in britain. >> this is the great irony, isn't it? and of course, we could see, three weeks time. prime minister starmer elected on the 4th of july. and of course, you know, he the same week he'll be potentially deaung week he'll be potentially dealing with a 28 year old member of le pen's party. younger than me, who's going to be elected for a party which stands for everything in opposition to labour stands for. so quite hostile to islam, a

very eurosceptic, very much on the right. and i think that's what's really the striking here thing in the uk. general election context is, is that as the rest of europe turns rightward, you've got maloney in italy, you've got the afd doing very well in germany, britain is only left and it's also a worldwide thing as well. you know, you see pierre poilievre in canada doing very well. trump may well return to the white house so, you know, keir starmer in the british context could have the most difficult, you know, kind of international context for any incoming labour prime minister since, clement attlee in 1945, kevin, it feels like there's a touch paper has been lit this year and the end of 2023 as well. i'm thinking about the farmers protests. very visual against, the elites, if you like, in those countries, the ruling political elite who are on the left. and so where does this go now? what does this what will this mean for the even for the eu itself? is it the start of the end ? start of the end? >> i mean, i don't think it's the start of the end. i mean, people predicted, the fragmentation of the eu in the wake of brexit and that hasn't

happened. if anything, it's maybe slightly gone. the other way. they've circled the wagons to make sure that that didn't happen , it's very difficult to happen, it's very difficult to say where it's going to go and you, james, makes a very good point there about labour. you know, i think people are just angry with incumbent governments and here it's the conservatives, they've been in power for a very long time. and under our electoral system, the only other way to go really is labour. so, i wouldn't i wouldn't, as i say, try to overanalyze it too much. i mean, there's this morning, i mean, the conservative campaign now is in complete turmoil. we've seen the scottish tory leader is now going to quit. i mean, it's just absolutely remarkable. and i think , rishi remarkable. and i think, rishi sunak will definitely rue calling the election when he did. >> yeah. what about labour. >> yeah. what about labour. >> they've got themselves into a bit of a mess haven't they, kevin? over private schools with emily thornberry being slapped down this morning by bridget phillipson. but she was only really telling it as it is if, if mums and dads take their children out of private schools, they've got to go somewhere and

you can witter on about a falling birth rate as much as you like. if a 14 year old is taken out of a private school, they've got to find a space. and i'm not aware of all these, schools which have got, plenty of spaces for them . of spaces for them. >> no labour have been, vague, to say the least , on what will to say the least, on what will happenin to say the least, on what will happen in those circumstances. i think they're kind of crossing their fingers and hoping it doesn't come to pass. but. yeah. what emily thornberry said yesterday rather let the cat out of the bag. i saw bridget phillipson this morning saying that she had misspoken, but if you actually watched the interview, she didn't misspeak. she knew exactly what she did. she knew exactly what she did. she was saying it was very uncomfortable. i think for the labour party, they'd rather that she didn't say it, and bridget phillipson sent out this morning to try and clean up the mess. but yeah, as i say, i think she has let the cat out of the bag somewhat, james, should we ask you about this one other policy about taxing pensions that labour are talking about, what they call it, what's called a death tax, is that's not a vote winner for labour, is it? >> no . and you sort of surprised >> no. and you sort of surprised they haven't tried to shut this story down? i mean, labour's

really been trying to go after the so—called grey vote in this election last time it was very much dominated by the red wall. well, labour is doing so well and they're focusing on pensioners, traditionally the bastion of the conservatives. and i think that, you know, right now, you know, about a quarter of a votes this week could be cast in postal votes, which are going out this week. so i think it's a very badly timed story. and i think, you know, we can talk about the tory, you know, disaster over d—day. but equally, i think the last couple of days or so have reminded us that, you know, labour are by no means perfect. they're making a lot of mistakes in this campaign too. >> okay. all right. thank you both. kevin and james. thank you so much forjoining us this so much for joining us this morning on this pensions death tax. a labour spokesman has said a pensions death tax is not labour policy. labour will always protect pensioners who have worked hard and paid into the system. >> well, the story's been around for a few days now and we need a bit of a firmer denial than that. and we'll get the labour manifesto on thursday, so we'll see. i suspect it's something they're talking about. the guardian reported last week that rachel reeves, the shadow chancellor, has got 10 to 12 new taxes she's going to bring in in october, november when they have a budget. well, i think rishi

sunak was right to stick it to them on tax last week. 2000 was probably an underestimate. >> well, i'm not surprised if we're going to be paying for everybody's kids breakfast. >> exactly right. >> exactly right. >> and there and there and there teeth brushing lessons. >> anyway, if you are an o teeth brushing lessons. >> anyway, if you are an 0 blood type, find out why the nhs needs you more than ever. do you know what blood type you are? no, i do, no, i don't know what i am ehhen do, no, i don't know what i am either. isn't that awful? this is britain's on

gb news. >> 1020 with britain's newsroom gb news andrew pearson . bev turner. >> so, throughout the election campaign, we want to hear from you, from people across the uk about what really matters . about what really matters. >> so today we're meeting mari carmen from leamington spa . carmen from leamington spa. >> my name is mari carmen. i'm 32 and i'm from leamington spa . 32 and i'm from leamington spa. i'm a health and fitness coach for moms, and i used to be a nurse at the birmingham children's hospital. so i know

the government have announced the government have announced the fact that they're going to increase child care hours for children younger. and actually, i think my son, who's now one, qualifies for that in september. so i really hope that continues. also, more support around enterprise. you know, i'm currently raising investment for my business and the way the economy is at the moment, the climate, it's quite hard. i know there are things around sky's eyes, but i think if businesses could have more support to grow, you know, financially that would be that would be really helpful. i've got three small children, two at school, one at nursery. you know, cost of living is huge. like our food bill, if i'm lucky to get it under £100 a week, you know, and i cook from scratch, i'd be, you know, i'm lucky. so i think more help , you lucky. so i think more help, you know, with day to day things, you know, when is actually food pnces you know, when is actually food prices going to come down. i know speaking to a lot of my clients, they find the same , you clients, they find the same, you know, just day to day things. if you want to take your children on activities, you want to go on holiday, just everything feels really inaccessible at the moment. when i was nursing, i used to vote labour. you know, they have always been the party

for the nhs, for , you know, for the nhs, for, you know, teachers and stuff. so i hope that, you know, i hope that is the case. if conservative can demonstrate more for, you know, enterprise and those key things that i've just spoke about potentially them, but if i'm being completely honest with you, i'm not a massive fan of keir starmer. so, i don't know. >> that was mary carmen from leamington spa. i'm just brilliant small business owner , brilliant small business owner, mum of two youngsters, our fantastic. we want more of those. let's do what's important to you, right? emma woolf and nichi hodgson are with us in the studio. go through some of the big stories of the day. emma, shall we start with suella braverman urging the tories to embrace nigel farage? what's happened? >> well, something she's talking about uniting the right and something needs to unite the right. and this is not about they all blaming nigel farage. oh, look what he's doing. he's splitting the vote. do you know what? the conservative party have destroyed themselves . and i have destroyed themselves. and i think after july the 4th, they are going to be in a terrible, terrible state if they survive.

you know what state are they going to be in after the general election? so the idea and there's been some interesting, tim shipman, some interesting kind of speculation about the possibility of nigel taking over , nigel farage taking over eventually as, as a, as a potential leader, jacob rees—mogg coming out and saying that would be a great idea. somebody needs to bring them back together. somebody needs to remind them of basic conservative values. yeah >> cutting taxes, smaller state. yes. stop all this ridiculous wokery britain stopping the wokery britain stopping the wokery putting britain first. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> nick, is that a vision of the future? >> nick he likes all that wokery idea of you. like we know. we know what i think. >> no, i don't like the idea of mr farage anywhere near the front line of politics. >> but it is the reality. i mean, to be honest, i don't think suella braverman backing him is necessarily the biggest compliment. i mean, whatever i think about him, he's a very smart man and i, you know , i smart man and i, you know, i have short shrift for suella, especially those comments about, you know, homelessness being a lifestyle choice and all that. and i don't think he'd necessarily want to associate

himself with that. is she the best backer for him? i think he can do better to be honest. >> this is in my view, this is about her positioning herself. sure, after the election, because i mean, even even before the depher covid d—day. and let's not even go there with what was he thinking of, for god's sake? this you can feel them positioning for post july them positioning for post july the 5th. absolutely >> and she'd already burnt her bndges >> and she'd already burnt her bridges with sunak. you know, she's kind of got to go this way. there's no i don't really see, for her any other position that she can take right now. but yeah, i do think it is fascinating the i mean, if she's the first person to come out in favour of farage in the tory party, who else is going to? well, rees—mogg has already, yes, rees—mogg as well. who's very senior. >> i talked to a lot of tories who are think who are saying it privately. >> yeah. but of course then he's still got to become an mp. that's the thing that we've got to not forget. >> well he can lead a movement, it can be a movement. >> but i get so frustrated by this because everybody is attacking sort of ad hominem attacks on nigel farage. >> there's even people on, on ex. posting photos of his outfits. they don't like the sort of blue blazer and the

chinos. look it. why is when okay when nigel speaks. when nigel farage speaks, why are thousands of people turning out? why is this resonating with people? it's like trump, rather than actually addressing why this is resonating with real people, you can laugh at them . people, you can laugh at them. you can call them far right. look at what's happening in europe. you can call them far right. these are real people. their voices matter. if democracy means anything, it means we get a vote and then we respond with that vote. so you can attack nigel farage all you like. but when you talk to normal people outside this bubble, outside tv, outside of london, they are responding to nigel farage in their droves. and if we didn't have such a broken political system that would be reflected. >> there is he's a matt rempe, he's a populist. >> and what's wrong with being a populist? >> well, there's nothing wrong with being a populist. but if you if you're telling lies to people like the brexit bus, like, you know, this swathes of immigrants that are coming over here, the swathes of immigrants are coming here. well, they are, but not in the way that he makes out. >> well, you know, why does he make up the lie? >> you know, the lies about the

numbers for one 750,000, a million net migration. >> that's not a lie. that's a fact. >> it is. but what? >> it is. but what? >> but what is a lie is the kind of fear and the rhetoric attached to immigration, you know, i mean, look. okay, fine. illegal immigrants. okay? i get it. and the home office, home office has just lost a bunch of them. i understand that that is thatis them. i understand that that is that is very, very concerning. but the majority of immigrants do come here to work, to raise families, to contribute . you families, to contribute. you know, like my family, i'm married into an immigrant family. everybody works , family. everybody works, everybody contributes. you know, it's like the kind of, you know, i find it very difficult when i live with these people and their lives get more, you know, their lives get more, you know, their lives get more stressful because the public become suspicious of them, because people think, take them, because people think, take the view. >> and i share it. >> and i share it. >> we're full up, and i don't think i don't think large influxes of migrants into one town is doing anything for social cohesion. >> it's breaking it down. >> it's breaking it down. >> but but what you have to look at is all the successful stories of immigration that have worked in this country, not all of them. okay, fine. maybe we have

got a problem right now in terms of like i say, you know, stop the boats and all the rest of it. but what you have to remember, andrew, is that day to day, the rhetoric against immigrants poisons life for people who are immigrants here and paying taxes and working and creating families and integrating because, you know, i mean, i'm married into a mixed muslim family, and there's nothing more integrational than that, really. you know , i'm i'm that, really. you know, i'm i'm a former sex worker of no faith, and everybody's accepted me . so and everybody's accepted me. so what i'm trying to say is there are plenty of examples of you know, you want to call them good immigrants. maybe that's patronising, but people that do contribute. >> do you know what i think part of the issue is we don't know the language to use around this issue, and we're not sure what we mean by immigration being problematic. and i think this idea that there are people in certain communities who absolutely have a right to articulate that their high street no longer looks like it did ten years ago, sure. >> but that's that's the problem with capitalism. that's a failure of capitalism. right. and it's a failure in this country , but it's failure of country, but it's failure of integration. but, andrew, also, it's a failure in this country to support parents. right. because people the reason the birth rate has gone down so much is because it's so difficult to

have a child and to care for them and to get, you know, to get childcare and all the rest of it. but it's not because immigrants are stopping us from having our own children. you know, this fear of, i will have to kind of bring people in to support the fact that the nhs is going to collapse without them. it's like, well, you could have helped parents in the first place or you wouldn't be of inflammatory language. >> with respect, nicki, you're using language about illegal immigration. actually, what we needis immigration. actually, what we need is and what nigel farage and people like that are raising is, is the fact that migration is, is the fact that migration is too high in a country that is struggling, and that is a failure of government that we don't have any infrastructure in place, but we have even have a functioning health system or a transport. >> but we also have 20,000 vacancies in the nhs, which we are having to use immigrant workers for. we don't need we don't have those people. we don't have those people. we don't have those people. we don't have them trained. emma. >> exactly. we need to . it's >> exactly. we need to. it's about training young people so they're not sitting on benefits. so they're doing a worthwhile job in the health and social care sector. but this all goes back to an absolute failure a breakdown of democracy and of government . really, it doesn't government. really, it doesn't need to be that we hate foreigners. we don't want them in. what we're talking about is actually in this country at the

moment we are struggling and more people are arriving. it's just putting pressure on a system that is already completely broken. >> but the immigrants aren't the people that put the pressure on to start off with. it's the government not managing the health service. it's the government not building enough houses for 1020 years. >> but you can't. a country cannot just keep taking more people in. but you can't. >> but you can't just say immigrants are the problem. the problem is the government failing to deliver what you pay your taxes for. >> so you can't say that's what nigel farage is pointing out. >> that's exactly what nigel farage is pointing out. he says politics is not working. this country is not working . and that country is not working. and that is exactly what you have just said. >> and i agree with you, but i don't think he's solution to the problem. we can't have a million people coming in every year, nikki. >> we just can't. >> we just can't. >> but what we can stop, but what we can have is people coming in to fill skilled worker vacancies, of which there are many right now. >> you know, there was that. remember, rishi sunak went to india to talk to the prime minister and did that deal. and all india was asking for was skilled worker visas for the staff that they have that would fill our nhs positions, which we need. people will die without those workers in those positions. and he refused it .

positions. and he refused it. why did he refuse it? because he had to make the point that he's got to be seen more hard line on immigration. that is so stupid. >> they're linked but aren't the problem the nhs is under so much pressure is because we've let so many people in, and it. >> but that wasn't that's not why it started. it's not immigrants caused the shortage of everything that we have. it's the government mismanagement that do birth the birth rate amongst immigrants is actually a lot higher than it is amongst british people, of course, but that's why i'm that's why i'm mentioning that fact. and the reason it's higher, you know, the reason it's low here is because we don't support parents, we don't support families. >> right. >> right. >> is that why it's low here? it's really interesting . it is it's really interesting. it is really interesting. and you know what it requires thought this does and i think we probably all agree on that, that actually i don't like the way a lot of the media paraphrases the things that nigel says. i don't like the way they take it out of context and make out that and they attack him. >> they attack him. >> they attack him. >> he's the one who bravely articulates it. >> he does. >> he does. >> he does. >> he articulates it. >> he articulates it. >> that's why he gets big crowds, so many. >> and they do. they turn out in their thousands. >> and they do. they turn out in theirthousands. he >> and they do. they turn out in their thousands. he has resonated. he has landed with the british public in a way that

sunak and starmer have absolutely failed to do. you cannot deny that he people are responding to what he is. >> he's the consummate showman. >> he's the consummate showman. >> he's the consummate showman. >> he's not. i do not believe that he's racist. look at all this. well, i didn't say he was racist. >> i didn't say he was racist. i said, i think , i think i think said, i think, i think i think the language he uses against immigration is deliberate to whip up frenzy amongst people , whip up frenzy amongst people, to make them turn on other people instead of looking at the government . government. >> that's messed up for them. ray addison is waiting for us. we'll wait for the news. but i would say often, if you actually listen firsthand to what nigel says, it's much more problematic than how it is characterised in the newspapers on on other news outlets. that's the only thing. and that's the one thing i've learned about listening to nigel farage, i must say. right radisson is here with your headlines. >> cheers, guys. 1031 our top stories. the prime minister's promising to recruit 8000 neighbourhood police officers in england and wales if the tories are re—elected. rishi sunak says

the plan would be funded in part by hiking visa fees and increasing the immigration health surcharge for overseas students. however, labour's calling it another empty promise from a, quote, desperate conservative party well, labour's promising to deliver free breakfast clubs in schools, part of a new childcare plan that they say will save parents over £400 a year. they're also claiming it will cut almost half a million days of school absences for parents who already pay absences for parents who already pay for before school childcare. labour's funded breakfast clubs could cut the cost by up to £50 a week, delivering savings of almost £2,000 across a school year. almost £2,000 across a school year . well, douglas ross is to year. well, douglas ross is to step down as leader of the scottish conservatives after the general election . he'll also general election. he'll also quit holyrood if he is elected as an mp. the scottish tory made the announcement in the wake of the announcement in the wake of the row over his decision to stand in the aberdeen north and moray east constituency .

tuesday. doctor michael mosley, he set off on a walk, on wednesday . it was he set off on a walk, on wednesday. it was around one 1:30 pm. when he left the beach and he started walking , then and he started walking, then there was a sighting, a digital sighting from a cctv camera showing doctor michael mosley at peddie village, walking and carrying an umbrella, he was wearing the clothes that he was wearing the clothes that he was wearing the clothes that he was wearing the day he went missing that day, then he didn't return. and his wife got worried later on that evening , of course, and on that evening, of course, and went looking for doctor michael mosley . the authorities started mosley. the authorities started a big search the next morning, which included the greek coastguard the hellenic fire service, a local search team, k9 dog divers, drones , everything dog divers, drones, everything but the focus. the search was focused on that leg of the journey, so to speak . now you're journey, so to speak. now you're showing this cliffy, very rocky

part of the island , which is part of the island, which is exactly what symi kind of looks like. and doctor michael mosley's body was found yesterday , sunday morning in, in yesterday, sunday morning in, in this rocky areas. he was found, lying down. now, the latest information that i have from the coroner is that the there was a post—mortem performed today, and the cause of death . he confirmed the cause of death. he confirmed to me, the coroner confirmed was is undetermined due to the fast decomposition of the body to explain that bodies can decompose very quickly in such extreme and high temperatures as, last week in greece, it was well over 42 degrees. it's extremely hot, and especially dunng extremely hot, and especially during these , during this time during these, during this time of the day, in the morning and midday when the sun is very intense. this can lead to, you know, about anyone can be worn

down, they can be exhausted from this heat. so unfortunately , it this heat. so unfortunately, it seems that the day that the coroner said that the day died, the day he died was the day he went missing. so this he could confirm, to me over the phone that this was the day that, he went missing. he went missing? he walked. and that was when he lost his life, to this undetermined cause. they cannot determine the cause due to the decomposition to the state of the body under such heat. now, what is also worth mentioning is in the recent days, we've had 4 to 5 deaths. he said, on other islands, nearby kos island, for example , of people who somehow example, of people who somehow went out in, in, in this very hot temperature. we're talking about like a heat wave. and they lost , their lives due to, to the lost, their lives due to, to the heat. so for him being a coroner

and seeing this happening often on under these extreme temperatures is, in the daphne in michael mosley's wife's statement, she said one of the things that gave her comfort was the fact that he nearly he was almost on in safe territory. >> he was very close to the resort . how close was he? resort. how close was he? >> so, here's what we understand that it was a few metres away . that it was a few metres away. there is a beach, club. like it's up to 100m, that's what, we understanding we have is around 100m. that's not far , of course, 100m. that's not far, of course, but this beach, this resort in ayia marina, normally you reach it by boat, the terrain that you also showed earlier is rocky. there is no shade whatsoever . if there is no shade whatsoever. if you. one wants to walk from that part of the bay . the other side, part of the bay. the other side, petit village, towards the marina. there is no shade whatsoever. it's not a short

hike for short. it's a difficult, it's a difficult hike. and especially in these temperatures, especially in these temperatures. not six in these temperatures. not six in the morning, not eight in the evening. so walking under extreme heat, can wear you down. most people would take a boat to this , beach, and there's no way this, beach, and there's no way to go anywhere else afterwards . to go anywhere else afterwards. you can basically leave and get there by boat and daphne is the suggestion that he maybe took a wrong turn to get down to the marina and found himself on that hillside, and then descended and then that's where the fence is at the bottom. >> you can't get through. is that right? that and somehow maybe he's fallen and tripped or maybe he's fallen and tripped or maybe hit his head or, is that the speculation ? the speculation? >> well, yes. i don't i wouldn't go, speculate at this point. what i can say is the coroner told me that there was no injury, so initially, yes, we

had thought that as well, but there was no head injury or any other injury , that's what he other injury, that's what he said. so. okay. so possibly a medical episode could have fainted. >> comfort though to from the family. >> yeah. to say that , he they >> yeah. to say that, he they think that the day that he lost his life was the day that he went missing. i think that i would personally, if that was my husband, i would i would find that that to some degree comforting. thank you. >> and a very and a very emotional tribute by his . emotional tribute by his. >> yeah, absolutely. yeah. >> yeah, absolutely. yeah. >> yeah, absolutely. yeah. >> yeah, he was definitely he was much loved in britain. michael mosley much loved. and he'd be very , very sorely he'd be very, very sorely missed. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you daphne , thank you >> thank you daphne, thank you for having me. >> that's daphne toldus joining us from athens. >> and you know, in the greek people are lovely. and a little island like that, i'm sure to the family who were there at the moment, they must be offering a lot of support. yeah. >> and of course, they were staying with friends who'd got a house on the island, so obviously. well, they knew the island just the heat is so lethal and a baseball cap and a

plastic brolly just is clearly not enough. and of course, you've got probably got lost. >> yeah , it's, you know, this is >> yeah, it's, you know, this is life, isn't it? this is. it's sad. it's awful. it's terrible for the family. but like i say, you wake up in the morning, you just don't know what's going to happen, do you? we just don't know. right up next, we're going to be speaking to an independent head teacher to her views on labour's tax on private schools,

gb news. 1047. let's cross now to labour leader keir starmer, who has been talking to reporters in the west midlands. >> this is a really important policy because as any parent with young children will tell you , child care and nursery you, child care and nursery places are really essential. they're so good for children in their development and making sure that when they arrive at primary school, they've got the skills that they need. really good for parents and carers

because they can get back into the labour market. so very good. also for the economy and our scheme is fully funded, fully costed but also fully planned, so it'll be wrapped around primary schools and just talking to some of the parents here who've got other children in the school, it'll be a real game changer for them. so this is being very positively received. >> was emily thornberry wrong to say that your vat policy would make class sizes in the state sector bigger ? sector bigger? >> yes, we've had the analysis by the ifs on this, which says that there will be a negligible impact. so we're very confident about that . about that. >> and finally, now for bbc, the liberal democrats today have said that they will increase capital gains tax and tax on big banks to try and fund some of their policies. would you consider doing the same? and if not, are you being honest with the public about how many cuts or potential tax rises might be needed to fund some of your pledges? >> we're going to launch our manifesto later this week. there'll be no tax surprises in there. we're not going to

increase tax on working people. and that means no increases in income tax in national insurance and vat and all of our plans are, as i say, fully costed, fully funded. and they don't require tax rises over and above those that we've already set out. so there won't be any surprises when the manifesto is unveiled on thursday . unveiled on thursday. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> who's that guy in the background playing on his phone throughout the whole interview? >> you know, these pool things are organised well in advance. why don't they just say to that chap very nice of you, but could you shove out the way, if you don't mind, i think he was with him. >> he took a picture of him at the end. i wonder if that's keir starmer's press guy in the background fiddling. i'm fiddling on instagram. >> i didn't recognise him. not that they call me very often. >> oh, that was good. can we just say also he just said emily thornberry was wrong. >> yeah, he slapped him. he slapped her down pretty brutally. >> so that's a second. so she's been hung out to dry on that. >> this split in the labour party is over. this claim that class sizes in state schools will go up because of this vat on private school fees. >> so we're going to talk now to

christine cunliffe. she's cunliffe, who's head of headteacher at the private lives school in ascot. morning to you. it's pretty obvious to us that if parents can't afford to keep their children in a private school because of the hike in vat, they're going to have to go to the local state school. and where and where? where is all this surplus space that labour seem to think exists? >> it's not there. and i must admit, i nearly fell off my chair when i just heard that clip, because i heard emily thornberry say that yesterday, andifs thornberry say that yesterday, and it's been very much a, you know, topic of conversation over the last 24 hours, because ultimately class sizes will go up. there's no alternative. you know this because this place, hundreds of thousands of children. and that has been proven . now, where are those proven. now, where are those places? labour government . places? labour government. >> now, christine, some would say, okay, well, you know, this is coming down the line as a head teacher of a private school , you're going to have to start cutting your cloth accordingly. you're going to have to keep the school fees the same as they are now for the parents. and you're

going to have to make savings elsewhere. how do you do that ? elsewhere. how do you do that? >> well, i think there's many schools across the country who will not be able to one cut the cloth and two not pass on anything to the parents. at the end of the day, this is a tax on parents. it's not a tax on independent education. and if i was a parent right now, i'd be pretty annoyed that i'm being taxed on already tax paid money for a place i'm not taking out in the state sector. >> so in other words, you mean you're paying tax twice? if you've got kids in private school? >> yeah, absolutely. 100. and i think that's the focus has been lost then it's a tax on parents and the choice of education. >> do you is it going to impact on your school christine . do you on your school christine. do you think some parents may have to take children out of out of your school 100. >> and you know, we're talking as a sector, our head teachers have got their heads together and we're trying to work out what it looks like for us. and i think the surveys that have been doneis think the surveys that have been done is that we will see a knock off between 20 and 25% of children across the uk coming out of private education, and if that's the case, it will not.

they will not raise the £1.6 billion they anticipate. they will lose the £1.6 billion, displace a number of children , displace a number of children, and also look at the knock on for the loss of employment and other goods and services that we provide to the economy every yeah >> and so that's about 150,000 kids you'd be talking about then would be and also in the private system at your school, christine, do you have to give a term's notice if you want to take your children out? so, so if you've got kids at private school now , you would have to go school now, you would have to go in september, whether you like it or not. if keir starmer comes in in july and enacts this straight away, tough , tough, straight away, tough, tough, you're going to have to pay that 20% between september and christmas . 20% between september and christmas. but then you might have the exodus from january. am i right ? i right? >> yeah, 100. and there's also figures to suggest that the government's already lost £22 million since september because there's been a 2.7% drop off in there's been a 2.7% drop off in the amount of children coming into the sector. so i think we've been seeing the knock on of this. you know, policy and the talk around it for over 12

months. but now we will see the real impact. do you, it's a it's an overtly political question. >> i hope you don't mind me asking it. christine, do you see this as almost like the politics of envy from the labour party? >> i would never want to be that person that would use that term, because i'm not that kind of person , but i cannot. i'm person, but i cannot. i'm a rational person. i'm data driven and i cannot see the financial or economic argument behind this. we're talking about children and the well—being in the future, and i just hope it's not because we don't want any government that runs on politics like that . like that. >> will there be parents at your school who were thinking, i might vote for labour? give him a go. this time we've had the conservatives a long time, but this policy will change their voting decision . voting decision. >> oh, yes. now, if you think there's 600,000 children in private ed, two parents each, grandparents, wider family, people that are knocked on, that's a lot of votes. and i know some of my parents and how

they're feeling about this and they're feeling about this and the strength of feelings, they're not that maybe there are alternatives in the country right now, but i think this is could be a big dent in the voting. >> okay. thank you. christine brilliant. christine cunniffe, their head teacher at lvs ascot . their head teacher at lvs ascot. and it's a very good point, i think. right. we've got to take a quick break, ellie, with the weather don't go anywhere. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news. weather from the met office. it's a bit of a cloudy start for many of us this morning and a damp start too, although there are some drier and brighter interludes on the way. the area of rain that we've seen sinking its way south and eastwards overnight eventually clears its way towards the southeast. but could lead to some travel disruption during the morning rush hour across eastern parts of england. its closely followed behind by plenty of heavy and blustery showers, these perhaps turning to some longer spells of rain

across parts of scotland, parts of wales and southwest england. seeing the best of the sunshine this afternoon. but temperatures here only around 18 or 19 degrees and struggling to reach much more than the low to mid teens further north. as we go through the rest of monday there, we're still going to be plenty of showers around through the latter half of the afternoon, but parts of southwestern england and wales generally staying that little, little bit drier and brighter. so some late sunshine here, heavy showers still across northern parts of england, and maybe 1 or 2 across northern ireland too. but generally staying a little bit cloudier for parts of scotland. and those showers do continue to push in from the north, pushing their way southwards into monday evening and into the start of tuesday. so those showers do continue for a time through monday evening, but they will gradually start to ease overnight, so generally turning dner overnight, so generally turning drier for most of us as we go into the start of tuesday. as it's turning drier, there will be plenty of clear spells around and that will lead to temperatures dropping a little lower than we saw on the previous night, particularly across the southern half of the uk, where we could see some

rural frost in places, particularly in those rural areas with temperatures dropping down into the low single figures, that does mean that tuesday starts a bit of a drier and brighter day for many of us. still, 1 or 2 showers around, particularly across parts of scotland and along some eastern coasts as we head towards the afternoon and some cloud bubbung afternoon and some cloud bubbling up as well. so perhaps a bit of a cloudier end to the day . the showers across eastern day. the showers across eastern parts of england, perhaps not quite as heavy as on monday, but temperatures still a little below average for the time of yeah below average for the time of year. only the mid to high teens further south and still in those low double figures further north. that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on

gb news. >> at 11 am. on monday, the 10th of june. this is britain's newsroom on gb news with andrew pierce and bev turner. >> thanks for joining pierce and bev turner. >> thanks forjoining us. so

labour party split. keir starmer has slapped down emily thornberry after she suggested labour's plan to impose vat on private school fees could lead to larger class sizes in the state sector , and tributes are state sector, and tributes are being paid to the tv doctor, michael mosley , after his body michael mosley, after his body was found after a four day search in the greek island of symi, reported he was just yards from safety . and is the eu in from safety. and is the eu in meltdown? emmanuel macron has called a snap election after a resounding defeat in european elections. he's warned the hard right was progressing everywhere in europe . in europe. >> and talking of the right, suella braverman says unite the right. that's the message from the former home secretary as she calls on conservatives to embrace that man. nigel . embrace that man. nigel. farage. >> and lib dem leader sir ed davey is going to set out his party's manifesto in just a few

moments. at least they mention social care . yeah, at least social care. yeah, at least somebody is talking about the elderly and they're talking about around 9 billion for social care. good. there should be. absolutely. let us know your thoughts this morning. gbnews.com/yoursay first though, the very latest news with ray addison . addison. >> good morning. 11:01. our top stories this hour. the prime minister is promising to carry on until the last day of this campaign. despite heavy criticism over his early departure from d—day commemorations in normandy. it comes after rishi sunak kept a low profile over the weekend , low profile over the weekend, avoiding questions from reporters on saturday. there were also rumours that he may even step down, which were quickly denied by downing street. now he's vowing that he will. he will not stop, quote, fighting for the future of our country . the prime minister's country. the prime minister's promising to recruit 8000 neighbourhood police officers in england and wales if the tories

are re—elected. rishi sunak says the plan would be funded in part by hiking visa fees and increasing the immigration health surcharge for overseas students. however, labour is calling it another empty promise from a, quote, desperate conservative party policing minister chris philp says the tory target is to build on the recent recruitment of officers. >> we are pledging to recruit another 8000 police officers on top of the record numbers we've already got those extra 8000 officers will be dedicated to neighbourhood policing. that means patrolling your local high street, patrolling the areas where where you and me and our your listeners and viewers live visibly patrolling, catching criminals, preventing crime, reassuring the public. >> well, labour's promising to deliver free breakfast clubs in schools, part of a new child care plan that they say will save parents over £400 a year. they're also claiming it will

cut almost half a million days of school absences for parents who already pay for before school, childcare . labour's school, childcare. labour's funded breakfast clubs could cut the costs by up to £50 a week, delivering savings of almost £2,000 across a school year . £2,000 across a school year. labour leader sir keir starmer is insisting that the policy will help parents in their working lives, as any parent with young children will tell you, childcare and nursery places are really essential. >> they're so good for children in their development and making sure that when they arrive at primary school, they've got the skills that they need. really good for parents and carers because they can get back into the labour market. so very good also for the economy and our scheme is fully funded, fully costed but also fully planned, so it'll be wrapped around primary schools . primary schools. >> douglas ross is to step down as leader of the scottish conservatives after the general election. he'll also quit holyrood if he is elected as an mp. the scottish tory made the announcement in the wake of the

row over his decision to stand in the aberdeen north and moray east constituency . well, liberal east constituency. well, liberal democrat leader sir ed davey is launching his party's manifesto for the general election . let's for the general election. let's go live now to central london for that kind introduction. >> manish is a fantastic local champion for the people of twickenham and a tireless leader on improving our education system and providing real support and opportunities to children and young people . children and young people. munira, i'm so proud to call you a colleague and a friend. thank you . and thank you all you. and thank you all for coming here today to help me unveil the liberal democrat manifesto. it has been an intense couple of weeks finalising this 114 page document packed full of detailed

policies, all of them carefully costed. now, of course, i've needed the occasional break, but when i asked my campaign team to find the odd activity to help me unwind, i had no idea what i was letting myself for . in it unwind, i had no idea what i was letting myself for. in it has been quite something to be told by my team that i've become a bit of a meme on social media, and can i just say to those who have suggested that my next campaign stop should be wrestling a crocodile or being fired out of a cannon? please stop giving my campaign team these ideas. they really don't need any encouragement, believe me. but it has been truly overwhelming over the past week or so. have been the incredible messages i've received from people who've heard me talking about my experiences caring for my mum when i was a teenager, and as emily and i care for our wonderful son john today , really

wonderful son john today, really humbling messages from people across the political spectrum and outside of politics altogether , welcoming our focus altogether, welcoming our focus on care and carers . the most on care and carers. the most touching messages of all have come from other carers, people looking after their loved ones who have got in touch to say that's my story too. to say how refreshing it is after so long feeling forgotten and ignored by people in power. to hear a politician talking about these issues from personal experience , issues from personal experience, your messages mean so much to me because that's exactly why i've been telling my caring story . been telling my caring story. because it's not just my story, it's the story of millions of people across our united kingdom looking after loved ones, making sacrifices, find it exhausting. sometimes but also full of love.

canng sometimes but also full of love. caring has been in the shadows for far too long, and i'm proud that as a party, we have brought it into the light. like so many people, my caring story started young. i was nine when my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer . my dad had died when i was four. taken from us just a few months after being diagnosed with a cancer called hodgkin's lymphoma. so just my mum , my two lymphoma. so just my mum, my two brothers and me, she battled the cancer for years, but when i was 12 it spread to her bones and the doctors told her it was incurable . in the last 18 months incurable. in the last 18 months or so, her pain was excruciating . she was confined to her bed and caring for her became my life before school and after school , giving her morphine life before school and after school, giving her morphine for the pain, helping her on and off the pain, helping her on and off the toilet , sitting on her bed

the toilet, sitting on her bed for hours just talking to her, trying to make the most of every minute. and i was 15 when it finally took her, visiting her on a totally unsuitable dementia ward in my school uniform. when she died , i never called myself she died, i never called myself a young carer. i never thought of myself that way. i was just looking after my mum because she needed it and because i loved her. and in these last few years i've been privileged to meet many young carers from all over the country and i hear the same thing from them . all their thing from them. all their stories are very different and yet so many ways. they are also the same. whether it was the young woman who told me how hard it had been to concentrate at school after a night spent looking after her dad , or the looking after her dad, or the girl who said she sometimes feels like nothing but a carer.

i know how that can feel . and i know how that can feel. and similarly, when i speak to parents looking after disabled children or people caring for a parent or a partner who is ill or frail, i hear echoes of my own experiences caring for john, how close it makes you, what a special bond you share , but also special bond you share, but also how relentless it can feel . how relentless it can feel. physical challenges, the lack of a break, all the paperwork , the a break, all the paperwork, the appointments, the phone calls, how often it can feel like no one understands, and how much of a difference. just a little extra support can make . and extra support can make. and these are the experiences that we must bring out of the shadows. because the truth is that unless we properly value care for unless we properly support carers , we will never be support carers, we will never be able to fix the crisis in our

nhs or get our economy back on track . and that's why i'm so track. and that's why i'm so proud that the liberal democrats have put health and care at the heart of our campaign in this general election, and at the heart of our manifesto to because there is no doubt that both the nhs and care are in crisis . more both the nhs and care are in crisis. more than 6 million people stuck on hospital waiting lists. people are waiting hours in pain for an ambulance to arrive or weeks to see a gp or an nhs dentist if they can even find one. tens of thousands of cancer patients are waiting months to start urgent treatment eight months when every day could make all the difference . could make all the difference. hospital rooms are literally crumbling , and the conservatives crumbling, and the conservatives have broken their promise to build 40 new ones . talk to build 40 new ones. talk to anyone in the nhs and they will

tell you a major cause of the crisis in our health service is the crisis in social care. right now there are thousands of people stuck in hospital beds well enough to be discharged, but unable to leave because the care they need at home or in a care they need at home or in a care home simply isn't there . care home simply isn't there. after years of conservative chaos and neglect, the scale of the challenge is enormous. so our manifesto doesn't shy away from that. we are putting forward a bold, ambitious and fully costed plan to tackle the health and care crisis from top to bottom . this is a manifesto to bottom. this is a manifesto to bottom. this is a manifesto to save the nhs . to save the nhs. giving everyone the right to see

a gp within seven days or within 24 hours if it's urgent, and recruiting the extra doctors needed to make it happen . needed to make it happen. improving access to dentists and pharmacists too, because we understand that if more people can get the early care they need locally, fewer people will end up in hospital in the first place. giving cancer patients the care they deserve with a cast iron guarantee that they will start treatment within two months, and investing in radiotherapy machines, in more cancer nurses and in cancer research to find the next breakthrough treatments . breakthrough treatments. finally, treating mental health on an equal footing with physical health with new mental health hubs for young people, regular mental health check ups when people need them, and a dedicated, qualified mental health professional in every school . investing in public school. investing in public health because we know that it's far better and far cheaper to

prevent illness than it is to treat it. and on care. we have an equally bold plan to make sure everyone gets the support they need . people who need care. they need. people who need care. the amazing care workers who provide it, and the unpaid family carers who provide it too. so we will introduce free personal care, embody the same principles that underpin our nhs , where care is provided based on need , not on ability to pay. on need, not on ability to pay. we will value care workers properly and help to fill the more than 150,000 vacancies in social care by introducing a new, higher minimum wage, especially for care workers , and especially for care workers, and setting up a new royal college of care workers. and we will give family carers a fair deal.

starting by overhauling the broken carer's allowance system so that it provides real financial support to those who needit. financial support to those who need it . just imagine what this need it. just imagine what this would all mean for people across our country. instead of being stuck in an overcrowded hospital ward, thousands of people could come home to be cared for by their family, with both a professional carers and the financial support they need to make it work . we can transform make it work. we can transform cancer care and boost survival rates to among the best in the world. we can help people live more years of their lives in good health with all the benefits that that brings with it . we can make sure everyone it. we can make sure everyone can see a doctor or dentist locally when they need one. ending these appallingly long waiting times, taking the pressure of the off the rest of the nhs . we can get people off the nhs. we can get people off waiting lists and into work getting our economy growing strongly again too. we can save

our nhs, we can fix the care crisis, we can give people a fair deal. now i know when you look at the state of the nhs and care today , this might all seem care today, this might all seem a long way off and there's no doubt that it will take a lot of time and a lot of hard work to repair the terrible damage the conservatives have done over so many years . but conservatives have done over so many years. but our conservatives have done over so many years . but our manifesto many years. but our manifesto sets out how it can be achieved, and liberal democrat candidates across the country are ready and able to work tirelessly to achieve it. so every vote for the liberal democrats at this election is a vote to elect a strong local champion who will fight every day for the nhs and care .

care. i'm truly proud of the focus our manifesto puts on these issues . manifesto puts on these issues. as a carer for most of my life. this is personal for me and having met so many wonderful carers , i travel across our carers, i travel across our united kingdom. i know it's personal for millions of people . personal for millions of people. let me just mention one other policy in our manifesto that means a lot to me personally . means a lot to me personally. restoring proper bereavement support for parents whose partners have died . you see, partners have died. you see, i remember how important the widow's pension was for my mum after my dad had died. i remember going for a walk with her and our dog every fortnight to collect him. we weren't especially hard up but it made a difference. it meant something . difference. it meant something. so you can imagine how angry i

was when the conservatives cut that support back in 2017, knowing that other families like mine would only get a fraction of the support. it was the first thing i asked borisjohnson thing i asked boris johnson about at pmqs when i became leader . and about at pmqs when i became leader. and i'm proud that in this manifesto we commit to reversing those cuts and restoring proper support payments to parents like my mum . payments to parents like my mum. there's so much more i'm proud of in our manifesto , our clear of in our manifesto, our clear plan to end the scandal of raw sewage being dumped into our rivers and on to our beaches , rivers and on to our beaches, and to hold the water companies to account for the damage they've done, our policies to solve the cost of living crisis for the long term , from an for the long term, from an emergency home energy upgrade

programme to cut people's energy bills to a national food strategy, including free school meals. our commitment to restoring proper community policing and guarantee that every burglary will be attended by the police and investigated so that everyone can feel safe in their own homes and walking down their own streets, fixing our broken relationship with europe, rebuilding the ties of trade and friendship, boosting our economy and restoring britain's role on the world stage . stage. all these and more are crucial for delivering the fair deal. the british people deserve, and they're what every liberal

democrat mp elected on the 4th of july will be fighting for in the next parliament. but if we are truly to tackle the big challenges facing our country, from health to the environment, crime to the cost of living, there is one more part of our manifesto that is absolutely critical. our policies to transform the nature of british politics itself. ending first past the post and replacing it with fair votes through proportional representation . proportional representation. getting big money out of politics with a cap on donations to political parties. shifting power out of the centre so local decisions are made by for and

the people and communities they affect . putting real power in affect. putting real power in people's hands and holding the overpowerful properly to account. because this election has to be more than just a change of government. we must do more than get the conservatives out. essential though, that is, we must transform our politics for good. so politicians have to respond to people's dreams and desires , because that is the desires, because that is the only way we will bring the real change our country needs. it's the only way we will deliver a fair deal , a the only way we will deliver a fair deal, a fair deal where everyone can afford a decent home, somewhere safe and clean , home, somewhere safe and clean, with a comfortable retirement. when the time comes where every child can go to a good school and have real opportunities to fulfil their potential , where fulfil their potential, where everyone can get the high quality health care they need,

when they need it, and where they need it . that is the fair they need it. that is the fair deal that runs throughout our manifesto . so that is the fair manifesto. so that is the fair deal that liberal democrats are fighting for. and at this election, every vote for the liberal democrats is a vote to make that fair deal happen. thank you . thank you. >> so that's ed davey talking in twickenham , a seat which they twickenham, a seat which they already hold. i thought they might have gone to margin, which they're hoping to win, but they've got a strong presence there. we've got the panel back with us, nicky and emma very moving, talking about his. he's was a carer for his mum who died when he was 15 and she was just 36, brought up by his grandparents. and then his grandmother had dementia. and of course, we know he's looking after his teenage boy john, who's 16, i after his teenage boy john, who's16, i think, and he's got neurological condition, which means he can't walk or talk. and i think actually ed davey has a quite a credible human story.

>> and the more i see of him, the more it is overcoming this, this taint, this whole horizon scandal, which i think has damaged him profoundly . damaged him profoundly. >> vie because he was the post office minister. >> yeah, he was the crucial moment during the post office scandal. >> and he has been, you know, blamed, rightly or wrongly, for really not intervening and not being across that which i think for a lot of people has been the overwhelming thing that they know about. ed davey. so ed davey, but i think that human story is extremely credible. i think it would be hard to argue with a lot of those manifesto pledges . i with a lot of those manifesto pledges. i think, you with a lot of those manifesto pledges . i think, you know, pledges. i think, you know, a fair deal for children. things like actually proportional representation, ending that kind of stranglehold , the first past of stranglehold, the first past the post system. i think, however, this is too little, too late. sadly for the lib dems, i haven't heard much from them at all over the past few years, and suddenly he's coming out and he's doing human and you know, i think what he has been through, it changes you profoundly, doesn't it? what he's been through with his mother, what

he's and you know, about, you know, your own personal story. but what he's been through with a teenage son who's profoundly disabled, i think that he that he has been through a lot and i respect him. and i like a lot of what is in his manifesto. do i believe it's going to make much of a difference or much of an impact? no, i don't not at this stage, nicky. >> there are there are really an issues party now aren't they. he almost set out there that what they would like to do is hold power to account over social care, over the role of carers in this country is i think it's probably important that we have them in that regard, that they may not win many seats. yeah, of course it is. >> and if they feel that they can't win , then that's exactly can't win, then that's exactly what they should be doing. and that's completely appropriate to be a credible not if not opposition than challenging party, i suppose. i mean, it's interesting thinking about, you know, what emma just said about we haven't heard much from them for several years. and it's true . and i wonder what that stems from. is it that they're not good at getting their message out? is it that they're not good at canvassing and kind of being in communities, or is it that

the media doesn't want to listen to them and, you know, it's interesting. >> they've got about 14 or 15 mps, which means he doesn't even get to get a question every week in prime minister's questions, because he's he's a leader of a minor party. and that's how it works. so but then in terms of you think what they would do is that their social media and their pr strategy would be everything that they lived and died by. >> that's what i do, hire young people who could absolutely work social media and doing a complete fool of himself in the campaign while throwing himself in the water at every opportunity. >> yeah, absolutely. >> yeah, absolutely. >> but they need and i do think this is a problem with the party. you know, they need i feel they need somebody younger of russia, even if he is very credible and he has got these personal experiences and this long held political experience that make him viable. but i do think they they really need some younger blood in that party and we need to see them. >> well, we did have jo swinson, of course, who was the leader, and she lost her seat and led them to a very bad defeat in 2019. >> yeah, but there are other people, you know, layla moran has quite a good public profile offer on question time and other shows where, you know, you if

you didn't know who the leader was, you might think it was her, actually. >> and that's never a good and i said recently, daisy cooper is good, deputy leader is good. >> she is. and actually locally, lib dems are quite active aren't they. they're quite when they're in politics, when they have a local mp it's very like twickenham. and that's why obviously they're launching there. yeah is it sarah olney i can't remember her name. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> no. yeah. in twickenham. i've forgotten who it is. >> no, it's, merm. munira mirza. >> no, it's, merm. munira mirza. >> munira mirza. yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah. >> no, but i think locally as local mps. >> exactly. and it's almost like, how do you square that with our political system? somebody who's really good at looking at organising the bin collection and making sure your one way system works in your area, how do you how do those people then translate into running a country on a global stage , but almost sort of two stage, but almost sort of two different skill sets. >> but you're right, and nikki's right about raising those issues, particularly around health and social care, which seems to be, you know, the big thing of this manifesto, actually, it's the thing that he has concentrated most on, and it will put the pressure on the other two parties. it does put

the pressure on and it raises those issues. it gets it onto the onto the kind of political agenda, social care at all. >> not really. neither starmer or sunak. >> exactly. it's just it's disappointing and actually quite surprising that labour didn't lean into that because that's such an easy win for them. if that had been in the manifesto, you know, their manifesto. >> yeah, and it's such a big issue as well, if you think of your life just family is one. every family. yeah. every family has elderly parents above, younger children below. not every family, but pretty much all families are dealing with this in some way. eventually we will all need some level of social care , not just nhs. and social care, not just nhs. and it's so odd that this is eternal , and i think it's because it's a female thing. it's a low paid profession, you know, being a carer, is it? it's not sexy, it's not world stage stuff. you're never going to get a handshake with zelenskyy or whoever i know. and maybe it's such a fundamental part. >> and during the pandemic we cheered the carers, didn't we? >> absolutely . and it seems like >> absolutely. and it seems like we've forgotten about them. >> they kind of go to it. >> they kind of go to it. >> and they were. yeah for very little pay. >> unglamorous, absolutely. >> unglamorous, absolutely. >> work . >> work. >> work. >> and i suppose the point is they're going, you know, paid

carers do it because maybe sometimes it's one of the only jobs they can do. lots of people do it because they have deep compassion. people care for their families and their friends because there's no other choice. you're not going to leave people. so i guess you know all those things make they seem politically less important to parties . but, politically less important to parties. but, you know, emma is completely right. this is something that will touch all of our lives. and perhaps one of the problems is that we don't know how to solve the social care issue. so therefore that's why parties don't talk about it. >> we're just going to go back to david's manifesto launch because chris hope, our political editor, is in the is in the press pool and he'll be asking questions. so let's have another listen to sir ed davey. >> whether it's investing in primary care, gps, nhs dentists, community pharmacists so people don't have to go to hospital or investing in care, whether it's, you know, formal social care or family care. so people can come out of hospital more quickly or don't end up going to hospital so much. this is a way which could transform it. and the reason why i think others will start looking at this idea seriously is because it's right. because it's, well thought through. and you know what? i'm hoping someone's going to ask me

about the costings in a minute because, you know, i've gone through yeah, i've gone through the detail and we're really, really cautious because in these costings we haven't done what some of the experts have advised us to do, which is to include the savings we'll get. so free personal care. according to the institute of public policy research, by the end of the decade will be reaping possibly up to £3 billion a year in savings to the nhs . we haven't savings to the nhs. we haven't included that in our costings because we're being cautious, but what it does show to the next parliament, mps of all parties, that you take this approach and we can save our nhs . i mean that's so important. i am, i am sick and tired of tory mps sort of saying they've sorted out and then meeting people across the country who can't get a gp appointment, who've waited for hours for an ambulance, who can't find an nhs dentist, there's nhs dentists in my constituency in chessington who told me when i went to visit them that they'd had to look after a pregnant woman from cornwall who couldn't find an

nhs dentist, except in chessington . you know, this is chessington. you know, this is the state of our nhs under the tories and we are going to reform it and we have the ideas. an election should be about ideas and we've got the best ones. >> just waiting for the applause to come down their morning, said paul mcnamara, channel 4 news. and you're the leader of a party that wants a closer relationship with europe. are you worried that you're fighting for further integration with a europe in which voters over the weekend. >> so let's go back to the panel because the press conference is continuing, should we talk about something else, if you like? >> i think we should . something else, if you like? >> i think we should. nikki. >> i think we should. nikki. >> let's just we're going to we do want to go back to hear chopper's question in just a moment, but let's just briefly touch upon the prince of wales apology for not making it to d—day . d—day. >> yeah. so, kate, obviously still undergoing preventative chemotherapy or resting from it, i haven't heard from her at all.

really, but she's she's written to say that she, she apologises for missing a military parade on saturday, saying being your colonel remains a great honour. and i'm very sorry that i'm unable to take this salute. this year's colonel's review , because year's colonel's review, because we have trooping the colour this weekend. yes >> and that's the day, the official birthday of the monarch. and it's a lovely letter she wrote to them yesterday saying , really sorry yesterday saying, really sorry i couldn't be there at the final sort of rehearsal. >> and i think for a few people it raised the hope that she would be there next saturday for trooping the colour. she's obviously very , you know, really obviously very, you know, really has gone through a lot, but isn't it funny how the country, you know, when nikki and i were talking about this, whether you're sort of republican or ardent royalist, the country have really, really got behind catherine and really care. and it will be such a sort of boost when we see her. there'll be a real upswell. i think of genuine emotion when we see her again out and about, and i think it is good and important that she's been allowed to rest and that people have left her alone, because that's exactly what is

required when you're so poorly. >> she's got three kids as well, no children. >> oh, she's royal, she's got help . that's not the point. they help. that's not the point. they don't live in a mansion. >> no, and it's not the point. it's not. it's not the point about the emotional toll. if you're very ill as a mum, you know, she's barely older than me. and the idea that i would be that poorly with my little girl, you know, it's completely terrifying. >> imagine the deep. the conversation. absolutely. those children. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> and there's this, this sort of mystery around the fact that her mother was in a car crash on a country road and that was in nobody knows how serious that was. it was reported in the press. and then that sort of we just don't know how much support she's got at home at the moment, because ordinarily, and especially in that family, her mom is such a great emotional housekeeper. >> they're a very close family, aren't they? and if sisters and if princess of wales is not able to fulfil that emotional weight of three young children, which is a lot, you'd hope that granny is a lot, you'd hope that granny is stepping in. >> and maybe granny is also not very well. absolutely right. we're going to be we've got a lot more to come in the next half an hour. let's get the very latest headlines. now, ray

allison's . here. allison's. here. >> thanks, guys. 1132 i'm ray addison in the gb newsroom . our addison in the gb newsroom. our top stories. the prime minister says he never considered quitting despite heavy criticism over his early departure from d—day commemorations in normandy. rishi sunak is promising to carry on until the last day of this campaign comes after the prime minister kept a low profile over the weekend, avoiding questions from reporters as rumours increased that he could step down. now he's vowing that he will not stop, quote, fighting for the future of our country. >> i'm energised about the vision that we're putting forward for the country. this campaign is only not even halfway through yet, and i'm finding enormous amount of support for the policies that we're putting on the table, whether it's a modern form of national service, the triple lock, plus 100,000 new apprenticeships, continuing to cut taxes for people , these are cut taxes for people, these are all things that people want to see. i believe i've got the right plan for the country.

we're the only party willing to take bold action. that's how we deliver a secure future. and i'm going to keep taking that message to as many people as possible between now and polling day. >> well, the prime minister is promising to recruit 8000 neighbourhood police officers in england and wales if the tories get re—elected. rishi sunak says the plan would be funded in part by hiking visa fees and increase the immigration health surcharge for overseas students . however, for overseas students. however, labour's calling it another, quote, empty promise from a desperate conservative party well, labour is promising to deliver free breakfast clubs in schools, part of a new childcare plan that they say will save parents over £400 a year. they're also claiming it will cut almost half a million days worth of school absences for parents who already pay for before school childcare. labour's funded breakfast clubs could cut the cost by up to £50 a week, delivering savings of almost £2,000 across a school year. douglas ross is to step down as leader of the scottish

conservatives after the general election . he will also quit election. he will also quit holyrood if he is elected as an mp. the scottish tory made the announcement in the wake of the row over his decision to stand in the aberdeen north and moray east constituency , and lib dem east constituency, and lib dem leader sir ed davey has launched his party's manifesto with a pledge to put health and care at the heart of his campaign. sir ed spoke about his own experiences caring for his mother, who died from hodgkin lymphoma. the party leader said his experience and the experience experiences of other carers are, quote, exhausting sometimes, but also full of love. well, for the latest stories, sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen, or go to gbnews.com/win . gbnews.com/win. >> light to the membership. >> light to the membership. >> so it's 1135 and >> light to the membership. >> so it's1135 and emily and tom are here to tell us what's

coming up on the show, but we're just discussing who keir starmer really is. you have more of a theory on this, don't you, tom? >> well, i've been reading the very good biography of keir starmer by a guy called tom baldwin, used to work with him on the times years ago. >> yeah, i, i was reading it over the weekend and i'm only a few chapters in, but i'm determined to finish it. but well, before he becomes prime minister as i expect he will. and that's a fair assumption . and that's a fair assumption. and that's a fair assumption. and i think it's very, very interesting how steeped in politics keir starmer's childhood was, and very often he's sort of being compared to tony blair. as things stand, tony blair. as things stand, tony blair, was not a particularly political or hardline , an activist in his hardline, an activist in his youth, keir starmer really was by, by all accounts, even from his school reports. they note how radical he was as a young, idealistic, sort of political being. >> and this is what every teacher wants to say. yeah, yeah i >> -- >> oh, sure. >> oh, sure. >> he was a delight, a delight

to teach in class. but but by all accounts, very, very bright, but i think i think it's perhaps been underdiscussed just the tradition , the political tradition, the political tradition, the political tradition that he comes from, how political his household was growing up. >> what else have you got on the show then? from midday today? well, i'm fascinated by what's going on on the continent with these elections, the big surge to the right. >> while we're probably going to elect a left wing government, so there's a bit of a mismatch there. but what does this mean? the rise of right wing parties in europe. what does that mean for the migration crisis? what doesit for the migration crisis? what does it mean for britain? what will we see in terms of diplomacy and our relations with these countries? it's very interesting indeed, very difficult. one for the european union. and we'll have ramifications here. >> starmer will be feeling pretty isolated if he becomes prime minister with all these right wing, if the france election goes the wrong way for macron, which i think it will. >> yes he will. >> yes he will. >> lots of big questions over why macron has made the decision that he has one of the theories doing the rounds is that in 2027, there's the presidential election, separate from the legislative election that he's called early. and there was a

big question mark about whether marine le pen and the what used to be the national front and is now the national rally would win in 2027. the theory doing the rounds is that he actually wants them to do better in the legislative election. now then they're tainted with the sort of running of government and then find it much, much harder to win in a presidential run off. risky strategy. >> it is very risky strategy. >> it is very risky strategy. >> emily and tom, from midday , >> emily and tom, from midday, don't go anywhere, though. we are with you for the next 20 minutes.

1140. this is britain's newsroom on gb news. andrew pearson . bev on gb news. andrew pearson. bev turner. did you just finish a yawn, then, andrew, this is because we are just about to have the prime ministerjust finished a yawn. i thought i'll talk on the election campaign , talk on the election campaign, of course there was a rumour. well, it started with some of

the sunday papers. could he did he actually consider resigning after the debacle over d—day? well, apparently not, and anyway, he's been asked about it on the campaign trail today. so let's have a listen . let's have a listen. >> it's not i'm energised about the vision that we're putting forward for the country. right. this campaign is only not even halfway through yet, and i'm finding enormous amount of support for the policies that we're putting on the table, whether it's a modern form of national service, the triple lock, plus 100,000 new apprenticeships continuing to cut taxes for people, these are all things that people want to see. i believe i've got the right plan for the country. we're the only party willing to take bold action. that's how we deliver a secure future. and i'm going to keep taking that message to as many people as possible between now and polling day. >> the prime minister, your mps are increasingly despairing . are increasingly despairing. leaving d—day early is going to go down as a historic mistake. you can't really stand there and pretend that things are going well . well. >> well, the last thing i wanted to do was cause anyone, any hurt or upset, which is why i apologise unreservedly for the

mistake that i made. and i just hope that veterans and others can find it in their hearts to forgive me for that. and also consider my record when it comes to supporting our armed forces with historic increase in investment, but also making sure that we have a minister sitting around the cabinet table focused on veterans affairs with more support than we've ever had to make this the best country in the world to be a veteran. but as i said, i didn't intend to cause anyone any hurt or offence, which is why i apologise unreservedly for the mistake that i made. and i hope, as i said, people can find it in their hearts to forgive me. >> douglas ross has just announced that he's going to stand down as leader of the scottish tories. there are questions about his handling of david duguid and his seat selection is this evidence of more chaos in your party? no. >> i mean, you can read douglas's statement about his reasons and i respect his decision. it's been a pleasure to work with him over the time that i've been prime minister, he's been a steadfast champion for the union. but also he and i have worked together on delivering two freeports for scotland, attracting jobs and

investment , standing scotland, attracting jobs and investment, standing up to scotland, attracting jobs and investment , standing up to the investment, standing up to the snp's misguided gender recognition reforms and also being unashamedly champions of scotland's north sea energy industry. the only party to consistently have done that. so i think that's a track record that douglas can be proud of and i've enjoyed working with him, but i respect his decision. >> suella braverman says that nigel farage should be welcomed into the conservative party. this is a man who says , oh, i this is a man who says, oh, i really wanted to hear the end of that question. >> should should nigel farage and suella braverman, should nigel farage be included in the conservative party? can we hear the answer to this, martin? >> well, it's a question for nigel farage what he meant by those comments. i'm not going to get involved in that because i don't think it's good for our politics or indeed our country . politics or indeed our country. but what i can say is only one of two people will be prime minister on july the 5th, keir starmer or i a vote for anyone who's not a conservative candidate just makes it more likely that keir starmer is prime minister. so if you're someone who believes in bringing down migration, wanting your taxes cut, protecting pensions,

increasing investment in our defence or adopting a proportionate, pragmatic approach to net zero which saves people money, i'm the person that's going to deliver that from you. keir starmer is not. and that's the choice for people come july 4th. >> i do want to finally ask. >> i do want to finally ask. >> that was his best answer. so far. it's very unusual to hear him say the words nigel farage. he almost never says nigel's name out loud, if you've noticed. but it got him, didn't it? that's that's when sunak is better, when he's on the ropes a little bit . otherwise he's just little bit. otherwise he's just a bouncy little robot whose batteries are starting to go a little bit dead. >> there is a touch of the duracell bunny about him , and i duracell bunny about him, and i actually think he did very well in the tv debate last week. >> i thought he did really well. >> i thought he did really well. >> i thought he did much better than starmer in the tv debate. yeah. but nigel won the debate on friday, to according all the polling, with all of the other leaders, the seven way debate on friday night, nigel came out on top. >> but just i agree, but there was just too many in it. >> can i just say, i think i'm the only person in the country who thinks it's all right that he left the d—day celebrations

quite early. why? because he's preparing for an election? because he was coming back for a manifesto meeting. because the king was there. prince william was there. there were even the veterans themselves had left by that point. i think he's been given an unnecessarily hard time, and i just wish he'd come out and defend himself on that. >> yeah. and why did he allow it to be reported that the reason he came back was to do a pre—recorded interview with itv, when actually he came back because he had a meeting about his manifesto to sign it off. yeah. which we will see this week. >> right. >> right. >> still to come. is the eu in meltdown after this surge to right? we're going to be joined by former labour minister for europe and the

gb news. so europe is apparently in meltdown with a surge of the right. french president emmanuel macron has called a snap election after his party suffered a calamitous result in eu elections . eu elections. >> in the humiliating defeat, marine le pen's national rally reached more than twice macron's party's vote share. meanwhile in belgium, poor general election

results led to the prime minister there pledging to quit. >> so should we worry about this or not? well, joining us now to discuss this is former labour minister for europe, denis macshane, and leader of france's generation of frexit group, charles henry gilroy. good morning to you both . and morning to you both. and charles, let's start with you. what chance of frexit happening, do you think in the next few years , i mean, it will depend years, i mean, it will depend not on european elections, because the european parliament is not a democratic parliament. >> they don't have the initiative to vote laws or guidelines or to change the treaty. so it won't come from the european election, but it can come from a national election. and that's why it's quite interesting to see that macron has dissolved the parliament in france, because we will have new elections. and, for example, if the national rally arrived first in the election and can form a government if they want to implement, really their policy

to limit that, they will have to confront brussels . and if they confront brussels. and if they confront brussels. and if they confront brussels. and if they confront brussels eventually it should. it should happen. a referendum on membership as you as you had in the uk, because on the main, let's say proposition on the main topics of the french, politics, which is the immigration, which is, energy and agriculture and so on. when you look at it, it's always a, an issue from brussels. so it will be quite interesting to see what will happen by the end of this month and the beginning of july, because we will have a brand new parliament in france. >> okay . all right, thank you. >> okay. all right, thank you. charles, i think we've got a little bit of a problem with your audio, and i'm not sure whether you could hear that. dennis. >> yes, it was very clear, but the paradox of brexit and france is marine le pen was the biggest advocate of brexit. she covered her social media and her house with union jacks when the brexit

vote was announced eight years ago. but she's seen what brexit has done to britain and the french right, apart from galois, just have stopped talking about it . the interesting thing about it. the interesting thing about the election yesterday was if it was purely a european parliament election, everybody who said not much changed low turnout, boring politicians . the far right got politicians. the far right got an extra nine seats out of 720. so it's no big deal. the ruling centre right party, which the tories used to belong to or to david cameron, walked them out , david cameron, walked them out, won an extra nine seats too. so so the socialists did very well, the greens were slaughtered because i think everybody in europe was fed up with green ideology and, you know, greed. yeah. net zero. well it's not it's everything. it is. it's workers . it's farmers. it's workers. it's farmers. it's people needing their cars to go out to work in the middle of the night. and it's also this slightly overriding , realistic, slightly overriding, realistic, theoretical. i don't want to say theoretical. i don't want to say the word arrogance because i
