alerts. now back to. mark. >> thanks, ray. welcome to through a show a very, very busy two hours to come. let me tell you, the most important part of the programme is your views. they come straight to my laptop. gb news. com forward slash d'orsay. and this show has a golden rule we don't do boring . golden rule we don't do boring. not on my watch. i just won't have it. mark dolan tonight your perfect saturday night in. we start with my big opinion. on. a labour mp, rosie duffield, has been forced to withdraw from election hustings this weekend because of death threats. so what is her terrible crime? pointing out that there are two biological sexes and the importance of women's hard won sex based rights and she's now too unsafe to face the public. this is progress, is it? if your cause involves making violent threats, including rape and murder threats , then i don't

murder threats, then i don't support your cause. for example, whilst i'm deeply troubled by what's happening in gaza, the same goes for the so—called peace protesters who were cheering on terrorists revelling in anti—semitism and seeking the destruction of israel . it seems destruction of israel. it seems that i'm not the only one who struggles with these woke causes, which are underpinned by a sense of threats, of violence and of dark menace. top gear and grand tour star james and of dark menace. top gear and grand tour starjames may is in a bit of trouble himself . know a bit of trouble himself. know his vintage ford mustang hasn't broken down. he's not having clutch problems with his ferrari testarossa . he has committed the testarossa. he has committed the terrible crime of saying what millions of people actually think. here's the tweet. he pointed out that the pride flags , especially in such number as they are in central london, are an authoritarian and oppressive thing . of course he's right. thing. of course he's right. whilst pride was originally

founded to celebrate gay rights, something of which i am a passionate supporter, it has since been hijacked by the woke taliban of islington, north london. who'll have you believe that you can change your sex? that there are hundreds, if not thousands of genders which can change several times in a day? and there's something called gender neutral, which means you're not anything . testing the you're not anything. testing the boundanes you're not anything. testing the boundaries of reality and science to the limit. you are not anything. wow, that would keep the french existentialists busy for a few months , wouldn't busy for a few months, wouldn't it? this authoritarian cult has seen the likes of best selling author j.k. rowling face daily authorj.k. rowling face daily death and rape threats for stating that there are men and there are women, and that women should continue to have exclusive access to female sports. female changing rooms, female toilets and female only wards in hospital. allow me to quote my friend and colleague andrew doyle, a gay man who therefore speaks . i would argue

therefore speaks. i would argue with some authority on the subject of pride, he said. so many people have been duped into thinking that this flag presents equal rights for gay people. in fact, it represents it's the precise opposite . now, i loved precise opposite. now, i loved the old pride flag and waved it proudly in the past, but this new flag pride 2.0, which has been grinding james may's gears, represents a movement which thinks it's to okay proscribe children and teenagers with puberty blockers , which puberty blockers, which literally stops their bodies developing. these nutters hand out medieval chest binders, which stop girls breasts from growing properly. and this is a movement which calls the mutilation of children, including the removal of reproductive sex organs as gender affirming care. the flowery words they're doing a lot of heavy lifting. this is a movement which has seen a male double rapist accommodated in a

female prison. isla bryson real name adam graham, currently suing the scottish prison authorities for being misgendered. you couldn't make it up . this is a movement which it up. this is a movement which has seen a slander on all of womankind, with newspaper headunes womankind, with newspaper headlines like here we go, x soldier exposed her penis and used wheelie bin as a sex toy in public. her penis, folks. or how about this one woman jailed after stabbing and tying up her victim? such a naughty girl. not the most flattering mugshot, thatis the most flattering mugshot, that is it. she must have forgotten to have her morning shave. such a naughty girl . forgotten to have her morning shave. such a naughty girl. this is a movement which sees biological males winning awards for woman of the year, taking first prize in beauty pageants. and it's a movement which sees grown men fully intact, breaking records in women's sports and

crushing the dreams of female competitors all at the same time, whilst putting those girls through the hell of seeing her private parts in the changing rooms, as happened with crap male singer, who became world beating female swimmer lia thomas. this is progress folks. do keep up the original principles of pride are a wonderful thing, but are long gone, alienating, alienating large portions of the gay community who consider this movement to be deeply homophobic. why is that? well, because boys and girls who may well previously have turned out to be gay have instead been placed on a path to change their sex with the irreversible health risks involved , as well as the risks involved, as well as the psychological damage. many call it a form of gay conversion therapy, not letting them be 93v- therapy, not letting them be gay. this is a movement which tells lesbians that they are a bigot if they're not attracted to a trans woman, which is a biological male calling himself

female. one high profile dating app female. one high profile dating app now prevents lesbian women from selecting a biological female partner when hooking up with someone online, meaning that when they go on the dates, they could find more than they bargained for. and this is progress. is it ? this is a progress. is it? this is a movement which sexualises children with graphic lessons in class, and in which raunchy drag show acts are given top billing in primary schools. this sexist, homophobic and scientifically illiterate incarnation of pride is now a month long, but we shouldn't give it five minutes of our time. pride comes before a fall, and this can't fall soon enough. a fall, and this can't fall soon enough . your reaction gbnews.com enough. your reaction gbnews.com forward slash your say. let's hear from my top pundits this evening . we have tv legend, the evening. we have tv legend, the green goddess herself diana

moran, former tory mp and farmer neil parish and academic and anarchist doctor lisa mckenzie. great to see all three of you. good evening. lisa. let me start with you . first of all, your with you. first of all, your reaction to the news that a labour mp cannot go to election hustings because she has pointed out that there's a difference between men and women. >> i've been watching this all day, actually on twitter and it's not progress, is it, day, actually on twitter and it's not progress, is it , that it's not progress, is it, that a woman is being bullied and threatened so she can't do her job? she can't campaign for something that she believes in. lots of people may not agree with her, and that's fine, she, you know, they may want to go to the hustings and they may want to argue with her. they may want to argue with her. they may want to ask her a question, but threatening her to the point where she's unsafe . well, that's where she's unsafe. well, that's not serving anything for our country or for our democracy or our politics, is it? >> no , neil, i don't want to >> no, neil, i don't want to sign up to any cause where violence is a condition of entry. >> that's right. i mean, i know

rosie duffield very well. she was on, on the select committee that i used to chair , and i know that i used to chair, and i know her well. she's a really lovely woman , and she believes woman, and she believes naturally in biological. the difference between woman and man. and make sure that you have the right spaces for women. and so she should be able to go to the hustings because, i mean, our politics is very much about, you know, constituency based so that you go to your meetings. people can, you know, disagree with you. they can shout, abuse at you if you want to. hopefully not too much. but you know that is okay to some degree. but you mustn't stop people from being frightened to go because this is not democracy. this is just trying to frighten people. just because you disagree with somebody, that doesn't mean you should threaten them in any way, shape or form. yes, argue very strongly with them. but this is different. this is, and i think it's very, very worrying. and i think the point you were making earlier on, i think, is with, with children in particular young people where they haven't

made up their minds what they are. and lots of pressure is put on them, sexualities of what they may or may not be. also, you've got everything out there on the social media. and of course, in some times i think more pressure is put on individual young people because of that. and i think they have noidea of that. and i think they have no idea at certain ages what their sexuality is, and they should be allowed to develop that without being driven in one direction or another . direction or another. >> however, diana moran, perhaps my view is a minority one because these new pride flags are all over our great cities. they're in shops, they're on leaflets and many would argue that this new flag is inclusive . that this new flag is inclusive. it's an update for 2024, and it's there to make people who feel that they're in the wrong body. they have body dysmorphia to feel included, to feel welcome. what's the problem with that ? that? >> because it's affecting so many other people in such a bad way. i mean , years ago, there way. i mean, years ago, there

were gay people jul, and they just quietly got on with their lives as, the thought of children being indoctrinated with all of this and being faced with all of this and being faced with decisions about what's going to happen to their young bodies, i find really fearful , bodies, i find really fearful, do you think that the festival of pride should be explained to primary school children? should it be celebrated in primary schools? the pride festival? what do you think? is it appropriate ? appropriate? >> they can certainly mention it, but i don't think there needs to be an emphasis. i mean, i at all what do you think , lisa? >> no, i do think it should be celebrated. i was me and my best friend wayne, who, you know, who is a bit of a legend. yeah, yeah , we were talking about this last night. he's gay. he is in the 80s. he was gay bashed as he says, at four years old. he knew that he was attracted to. he liked men. he used to wear girls dresses . but what he says is dresses. but what he says is that when he was being gay

bashed in the 80s, he was being gay bashed for being a queer. yeah and now this new language of queer, he he doesn't understand it, and he thinks it's he thinks it's hurtful to him, actually. >> but i think the tables of trouble have almost been turned now, and i think in the 80s and beyond that it was absolutely wrong. the way that gay people were singled out. i think now we're just sort of going in a complete circle where actually i think we're putting too much pressure on individuals. and i think if you are going to teach sexuality and gay sexuality at primary school, it's got to be handled very, very carefully. very because i especially when it comes to gender. >> right. because because perhaps the child could, could be attracted to, you know, another child of the same genden another child of the same gender, maybe not. that can all evolve . but if you're saying to evolve. but if you're saying to a boy, are you a boy today or a girl that's far more, well, i support far more of an issue for their long term future, isn't it? and also, i think, confusing

for. >> yeah, yeah. no. >> yeah, yeah. no. >> when you're young, you will have crushes on probably both both sexes. and so therefore . both sexes. and so therefore. but i think that's all they are. spare us the gory details neil. >> he's lived a life. >> he's lived a life. >> that man. that's all they are. >> he's a man of appetite . >> he's a man of appetite. >> he's a man of appetite. >> he's a man of appetite. >> he respects mark. and so. but i think just like your cows now, now we've got your cows will go with anyone. >> oh they probably would. >> oh they probably would. >> yeah. woody. >> yeah. woody. >> seriously, now, now , now we >> seriously, now, now, now we have to have all the gory control of the show. >> we have to have all the gory details we have to go into. i agree , and it's inappropriate agree, and it's inappropriate for kids, the physical side of it, which i don't think is necessary, but i do think respect in and in any, any classroom, you are going to have probably one child that will be grow up to be gay. >> so i think it respect maybe more than that. yeah. and perhaps and letting those children know that it's okay. >> but isn't it. it's fine. >> but isn't it. it's fine. >> but isn't the point but isn't the point about the new pride that it's gone? >> yeah, well, that's what me and that's what me and wayne were talking about because what? >> children at school, little boys, some of them like little girls clothes. >> yeah. he did. he loved him.

>> yeah. he did. he loved him. >> but that doesn't mean to say they're all going to be transsexual . exactly. transsexual. exactly. >> no. he wasn't. >> no. he wasn't. >> well, he grew up to be a gay man. and there was a yellow dress that he wouldn't let any girl with. that's exactly right. >> i mean , i'm wearing briefs tonight. >> they're so tight, they could easily be knickers. so let me tell you, i've come in. >> mark, i'm a bit worried about your yellow tie. >> yeah. that's it. let me let me stress. i am not a not supporting back to me, guys. where's the camera? there you go. >> not supporting the liberal democrats or the tories or laboun democrats or the tories or labour. all you got to do is vote on july the 4th. okay listen, we'll come back to that. but next up in the big story, lord cameron has accused nigel farage of trying to destroy the conservative party by standing for reform. so will nigel farage succeed? we'll debate that next with the hamiltons

i'll get to your feedback very

shortly, but it's time now for the big story. and lord cameron has accused nigel farage of trying to destroy the conservative party by standing for reform. well is lord cameron right? could nigel farage completely destroy the tory party? let's get the views of britain's best known political double act, neil and christine hamilton. the hamilton , neil, hamilton. the hamilton, neil, you've been a conservative mp dunng you've been a conservative mp during some very difficult times. will nigel succeed in destroying the party? >> well, i was a conservative mp dunng >> well, i was a conservative mp during the greatest times, actually, under margaret thatcher. that's the problem . thatcher. that's the problem. the tories have moved so far from those heady days that they've actually committed suicide. and, yes. i don't think nigel will destroy the conservative party they've done a very good job of that for themselves. of course , all he's themselves. of course, all he's doing is filling the void that they've left because they've alienated and deliberately condescended to their own natural support base. the big problem is david cameron, when he became the tory leader,

styled himself as the heir to blair. and they've stuffed the candidatures in constituencies with blairites ever since . with blairites ever since. they're still doing it today, even when they stare into the abyss , they're still putting abyss, they're still putting spads and insiders into what used to be very safe conservative seats , so that conservative seats, so that after the election and the complete cataclysm , the tory complete cataclysm, the tory party will never change. so of course, in one sense, i think nigel is absolutely right to say that what we need to do is obliterate the current conservative party. so there are real conservative party can take its place. >> but neil neil, what does obliteration look like? could it mean the end of the conservative party brand altogether either. could it mean it's total disappearance as an organisation to be replaced by, for example , to be replaced by, for example, reform uk? >> well, i think that would be a bold claim because the electoral system is very brutal to insurgent parties. in 2015, ukip got 4.5 million votes and we won

only one constituency and that's likely to be the fate of reform in this election , unless the in this election, unless the tories implode even further and reform moves up a few points in the polls , and the odds very the polls, and the odds very likely are against that. but the big problem is that we have a conservative party in name, but it doesn't actually act in a conservative way . you know, conservative way. you know, they've done nothing to capitalise upon brexit. they've completely, spectacularly failed to control immigration. they've doubled down on all the green crap as david cameron once memorably described it, and saddled us with vast bills, making our economy more inefficient by, by spending huge amounts of money on windmills and solar parks and so on. and in so many other ways. there are nothing to counteract the woke culture that's infesting our civil service and all our public institutions . and there's institutions. and there's nothing conservative about the

current conservative party at all. that's their big problem. it's an exercise in mis selling on a vast scale. >> okay, well, of course, rishi sunak would argue that the tories have outlined plans to reduce taxes , get the economy reduce taxes, get the economy growing, stop the boats and tackle immigration all very conservative principles. but it's interesting to hear what you've got to say. neil. christine could july the fourth be an existential moment for the conservative party? >> well, i frankly, i think just to go back a tiny bit, the conservative party could be reported under the trade descriptions act because they're absolutely not conservatives . absolutely not conservatives. and therein lies the problem. and therein lies the problem. and this is why farage has been so successful. one of the big problems, if i could just go back to reform, sorry, i'm doing a politician's act of not answering your question. reform reforms . problem is that it's reforms. problem is that it's not a proper political party. it's a company. it's wholly owned by nigel farage. a bit of richard tyson, someone else who's the treasurer. if they had had any sense when they first

started to get people signing up, sending money, they would have got their names and addresses, they would have started to form branches just like the lib dems did years and years ago. and they started to come up through local politics. if they had done that, they would now know all these years later where their support was. they could have local people on the ground, they could do canvassing and they could get their vote out. as it is, they actually don't have much idea where their support lies, which is why it's going to be very difficult to predict how many , difficult to predict how many, if any, mps they're going to get because nobody really knows where these reform voters are. i've completely forgotten your question. was it about the tories? >> is it is it an existential moment? yeah. >> it's july the fourth, an existential moment. you've had too much pinot grigio, christine i >> -- >> oh, i exam >> oh, i know the real answer is i haven't had enough because i've been on the wagon for a long time. this is half soda water by the way, part. i do think the 5. stop it. you've had

your say. i >> it looks like a urine sample from from neil. christine what do you think? >> are we looking at an existential moment for the tories? >> i'm trying to answer, mark, you've just interrupted again. yes, of course it is. they're going to be. they are going to be completely and utterly wiped out . the problem be completely and utterly wiped out. the problem is who is going to remain, which mps are going to remain, which mps are going to be there? i mean, it's sod's law, isn't it? you'll probably find that the mps who survive are not really just by the luck of the draw and whether they're in a safe seat or not, they're probably be the wishy washy social democrat ones. if they're the rock hard, proper conservatives who remain as the rump of the tory party in parliament, then there is some hope for them. but if it if they're not, and if, as it were, all the wrong ones get defeated and the right the, the right one, we don't want. i'm trying to say if the wrong ones get elected, they're going to be in a mess and there will be no way the tory party can can reconfigure. but nigel farage is not a conservative. so i think

the idea that he can lead the conservative party is moonshine . conservative party is moonshine. he can possibly lead a new right wing conglomeration or whatever you want to call it. but, i mean, it's an absolutely unholy mess . yes. mess. yes. >> and very briefly. christine. christine, do you see the conservative brand surviving or in the next 5 to 10 years, does it become reform uk and the conservative party consigned to the dustbin of history ? the dustbin of history? >> well, i think it depends on who is elected to the tory party. and as i've tried to explain, who is elected , who is explain, who is elected, who is there? fair enough. carry on the torch, as you say . torch, as you say. >> that's the luck of the draw, neil, neil, there's talk of a labour superm's rmt perhaps the biggest in 100 years. does the scale of labour's victory matter? should they prevail ? matter? should they prevail? >> well, yeah, it does, of course, obviously, because the thought of a labour government for five years in an

unchallengeable position is horrific. just look at wales if you want an example of what that does to you . for the last 25 does to you. for the last 25 years they've had a labour government , very often in government, very often in alliance with the welsh nationalists , but the welsh nationalists, but the welsh nationals are even further woken left than, than labour and wales has been completely ruined. and so this is what will happen. but that's democracy. every so often you do have to have a change of government. there are times when governments need to lose elections. sadly, i think this is one of them because as i see no sign that the conservatives party recognises why it's in this mess and is to prepared face up to the mistakes that they've made and admit them and move on to an agenda which is likely to succeed . and then i'm likely to succeed. and then i'm afraid what we do need to do is sweep away all those who are responsible for the debacle that's about to engulf them, and if only we could have a party led by, for example, jacob rees—mogg or indeed any other gb news presenter for that matter,

then i think they would do a lot better . better. >> okay, listen neil and christine, what a thrill to have you back on the show. enjoy the rest of your saturday evening. i'm delighted you've fallen off the wagon in style, christine. there you go. small drop of soda water and the rest is gin and well deserved. frankly, let me tell you that labour will defend their manifesto and argue that their manifesto and argue that the rather commanding position they have in the polls suggests that britain is ready for change. now let's have a look at the candidates for that clacton constituency. they are as follows , jovan owusu, nepal follows, jovan owusu, nepal laboun follows, jovan owusu, nepal labour. giles watling, conservatives matthew bensalem, liberal democrats nigel farage, reform uk and natasha robson, green party see also craig jamieson, climate party tony mac, independent tassos papas. danu who is heritage party and andrew pemberton uk . up there we andrew pemberton uk. up there we are coming up in a huge new

headache for king charles. it is prince harry at work on a new book. plus, joe biden wanders off at the g7 and donald trump turns 78 this weekend . we'll get turns 78 this weekend. we'll get the inside track live from the our top politics insider

next. well, i've got to say that anger towards the conservatives is noticeable on the message board. gbnews.com. forward slash your say, over the last 4 or 5 years, says louise, the tories have destroyed themselves. they're now desperate and promising tax reductions . rwanda flights. they reductions. rwanda flights. they could have done that already. like most parties , they promise like most parties, they promise a lot and deliver very little. peter is not pulling his punches. he says. good evening mark. wipe the tories off the planet. mike says i hope the tories are obliterated. i hope they get no seats and cease to

exist. and alison, who is a gb news member, says christine , the news member, says christine, the reason why you can't see where the reform uk base is , is the reform uk base is, is because it's everywhere north east, south west . because it's everywhere north east, south west. this is going to be a tsunami . fascinating to be a tsunami. fascinating stuff. we'll look. keep those messages coming gbnews.com/yoursay at 10:00 in my take at ten gb news is now three years old, but will we still be here in three years time? my verdict at ten. but rumours are growing that prince harry is plotting revenge on king charles and prince william, with a second volume of his biography, autobiography now leading royal christopher anderson , lie—in royal author, anderson, lie—in royal author, told fox news in the united states that a follow up book in which he settles scores is now inevitable , particularly given inevitable, particularly given what he perceives as the harsh treatment by his brother and his father. the pen is mightier than the sword, and a sequel to spare

could be a fresh new headache for the king. let's get reaction from leading political commentator all the way over in the united states. hillary fordwich hillary, lovely to see you again. it's been too long, your reaction to rumours that prince harry is going to write another book? >> well, smashing to be back with you again, mark. actually, it's purported to be entitled , it's purported to be entitled, repair with the heir, but i haven't got a prayer . no, haven't got a prayer. no, actually, that would be, that's what it should be entitled. if prince harry had any sense, he would actually realise not only throwing your family under the proverbial royal bus didn't do yourself any good, but he squandered the love of a nation, mark, let alone the taxpayers dollars and pounds paying for his wedding. the saddest thing is they had so much potential. i covered his wedding to meghan markle. they were lined 15 deep in the streets of windsor, and we all know there wasn't a whisper of anything negative

except for great hope, particularly with what they could have done with the commonwealth. and i think it's very sad that after they were, you know , meeting with global you know, meeting with global leaders and all of their potential, she ended up releasing another version of her jam just as the trooping the colour was taking place . she's colour was taking place. she's down to releasing jam, and i think it's very sad and i think his book, unless it's really seriously trying to repair the relationship, he will be doing himself just more damage. >> do you think perhaps harry needs the money, given the fact that he's got so many court cases in the offing ? cases in the offing? >> of course he does. and mark one thing, i don't think that he realises when you're within the bounds of the royal family, all of the courtiers , they're there of the courtiers, they're there to do what? to serve you, to protect you. what i don't think he realised is with regard to the commercial sector, do you think any lawyer ever in the history has ever said, no, i don't think there should be any lawsuit. like, do you think any lawyer said to any couple divorcing? no no, no, let's patch things up. let's get back

together instead. let's not have a legal case. his lawyers , of a legal case. his lawyers, of course, are making a fortune from him. the book companies want to make a fortune from him. same thing with netflix. everybody wants to make money from him. i don't think he realises they're not really in his court , meanwhile, donald his court, meanwhile, donald trump turned 78 yesterday. hillary, do you think he'll be celebrating a second term in the white house in november ? white house in november? >> well, certainly all polls are pointing to that at the moment. he's leading biden in every single poll, particularly in the swing states. that's what's the most important. there are six suhes most important. there are six suites of states in america, which are swing states , and which are swing states, and those are the states that matter the most. and just recently, he's overtaken biden in all six states. and they're very , very states. and they're very, very close. what i will say with regard to, trump is that, of course, he just came out with this recent proposition and this was when he was meeting on capitol hill just last week. and i know many people in the room who said that it was actually jaw dropping in terms of the reaction. he has suggested that

of dropping income tax, federal income tax and replacing it with tariffs. now, for example , the tariffs. now, for example, the eu places a 10% tax on american cars being imported into europe, which is why you don't see very many american cars in europe at all. but we only have a 2.5% tax here in the us on eu imports, which is why there are plenty of german cars. so this has gone down very well over here. he's very innovative. and when he was in las vegas he actually suggested there that there be no more, taxes on tips. so he knows how to appeal to the common man. mark. and last but not least, if i may make mention of this, i was recently golfing at one of the trump resorts, and i spoke to a very old caddie there, a lovely old man. you know what he said to me? he was an old black man, and i asked him what he thought of trump. he worked at the trump resorts. well before trump was ever even running for office. and you'd already said he said in all of the resorts he's ever worked on, all all up

and down the east coast of america, donald trump was the only owner who ever one spoke to him to asked him what he thought. and three mark asked him what would make the lives of the caddies better. and this old caddy told me that when he came back the next year, because they all go down to florida in the winter, he said all the changes have been made . donald trump have been made. donald trump listens to the common man. it's the common touch, mark. if he's re—elected, it will be because he has the common touch and he understands the regular american , hillary, the clock is against us. briefly, if you can. you've got a foot in both camps because you're a brit, but based in america now you're a politics royal and business expert. do you think that president donald trump, donald trump in the white house would be good news for britain ? oh, absolutely. britain? oh, absolutely. >> without an absolute doubt. his mother , if you remember, was his mother, if you remember, was scottish. he had great respect for former beloved queen elizabeth ii and remember, it was obama who said that if the

british voted for brexit that they would go to in quotes, the back of the line . obama was very back of the line. obama was very anti—british and for some reason he was accepted very well in the uk. no president trump has always been pro britain. he would be pro a trade agreement and yes, it would be very good for britain. hillary fordwich. >> let's catch up soon. my thanks to political and royal commentator hilary fordwich. don't forget in my take at ten, gb news celebrates three years on air but will we still be here in three years time? i'll be giving my verdict at 10:00, but next up it's mark meets and its top actor, john altman, famous, of course, for nasty nick cotton in eastenders.

wear jeans and leather jacket and had my ear pierced. anyway so yeah, you were well advised. >> you were in that very first episode of eastenders. did you know then that you were part of something special that would last for a long time? >> nobody knew for sure . i think >> nobody knew for sure. i think we all had a good feeling because there was some kind of magic on the set. i think, and it had been well cast. and then, of course, yeah, it really took off because it was the first really gritty , soap, you know, really gritty, soap, you know, and i think the other soap is kind of like , you know, pinch kind of like, you know, pinch the idea in many ways. >> and that's, footage of you having a fight with phil mitchell. i mean, those those fight scenes were memorable, weren't they? >> yes, indeed. yes. >> yes, indeed. yes. >> did they take a lot of rehearsal, those sorts of scenes? >> not too much, but, yeah , >> not too much, but, yeah, yeah. you have to choreograph it and make sure. yeah it's like it's like a dance. >> let me tell you. you look like you're you're going to win that one. >> let me tell you, the body language is quite impressive, i understand that the show's producer, you mentioned , julia producer, you mentioned, julia smith, wrote you out of the show for a while after a disagreement about the direction of the

character of nick cotton. is that true? what happened there? >> yeah, it was, i remember lofty was tom watt, the actor and nick was always bullying him. he was he was the potman in the queen vic and suddenly. and we've been doing nothing. we've been doing it for about a year now. he lofty wasn't gay. nick wasn't gay? yeah. and julia had decided he's going to make them both gay , which i thought wasn't both gay, which i thought wasn't quite right. really? fair enough. you know, as an actor, i'll play any part, you know. yeah, it's a good once you play, once you've embodied the character, you've got, i guess, a bit of influence on the direction. >> and you'd say, look, nick cotton wouldn't. wouldn't be a gay man. >> yeah. we're not touring the restaurant, bless her. and i said, you know, i heard a rumour because, you know, it's like in studios. yeah. these rumours are all flying around. all the time. and i said, if it's true, julia, i don't think it's a good idea. and apparently she turned to one of the scriptwriters and said, write him out. >> okay. >> okay. >> however, you were back , right? >> i did, i was in and out for years and sometimes it wasn't for about 4 or 5 years. so as you were saying earlier, i went on the road and did musicals like chicago for a long time. chicago? yeah, the first major

toun chicago? yeah, the first major tour. i love that , yeah, playing tour. i love that, yeah, playing billy flynn. >> so you didn't want to be typecast. do you feel you've beenin typecast. do you feel you've been in the shadow of that character at all over the years? yeah. >> oh, definitely. i mean, i would love to have done something like downton abbey. i could have played above stairs, you know. yeah. if you like, you can do posh. i could, i could, yes, or below , you know. but, so yes, or below, you know. but, so i wouldn't have been considered for that. i can understand it in a way, because, you know, people say, oh, what's nick cotton doing below stairs? yeah. downton. you know, they would. i'm afraid so. and i've done it. i've done it for so long. but there you go . there you go. >> well, listen, it's been a great career, which, of course, continues to this day, you just were watching some of that footage during the introduction of june brown , your mother dot of june brown, your mother dot cotton, and you've got happy memories of working with her, don't you? >> oh, very happy memories. yeah. and we got on from the start, actually. and my real mother said she actually looks more like your mum than i do, right? yeah, we had a laugh together. we both used to take 12 vitamin pills every morning. we'd have cigarettes and coffee together. we'd meet early and go because soaps are so fast, as

you probably may well know. of course. so? so it's so quickly put together. you really have to be on, on the case, you know. so we'd meet early in her dressing room, go over the line. so when we walked onto the set, you know, word perfect and just, you know, word perfect and just, you know, well, that's it. >> and you had real chemistry. how did your life change once you landed that role? did your life change for the better? >> well, yeah, i guess so . >> well, yeah, i guess so. >> well, yeah, i guess so. >> it opened other doors. yeah. i mean, like, well, touring in chicago for example, later on and i'd be, you know, top of the bill in a panto , but it's, it bill in a panto, but it's, it opened some and closed others. but i guess i, you know, as a, as an actor, i see out of a class of 30 actors from top drama schools, some of them only sometimes in about 7 or 8, are actually working. ten years later in the business. did you make a tough business? >> did you make a few bob over the years off the back of nasty? >> yeah, sometimes. >> yeah, sometimes. >> yeah, sometimes. but >> yeah, sometimes. but because i wasn't in it all the time, not as much as i could have done. >> yeah of course. >> yeah of course. >> and any regrets that you were in and out of the show, or do you feel that benefited your career? because why were you in and out so much? did you fall

out with producers or so? >> no no no no, i'm pretty well, i mean, julia and i were friends even after that incident, actually. and i didn't really fall out with anyone. it was just the sociologically , it was just the sociologically, it was the kind of person he was. someone like him working here. he wouldn't last long, would he? really? he had a couple of weeks doing drugs in the toilet, swearing at people. >> be honest, it sounds like he blend in. he he he'd be like , be blend in. he he he'd be like, be a pig blend in. he he he'd be like, be a pig in the brown stuff. >> you've done panto as well. you've worked with obviously on eastenders. barbara windsor, mike reid, total legends. we don't make them like that anymore . anymore. >> they. >> they. >> yeah yeah. oh no no, it was great. in fact i did one a naughty video with him. yeah. >> because of course he was a very blue stand up comic wasn't he. >> yeah. yeah yeah it's brilliant. it's sad that he died quite young, actually. yeah, but he liked me and i liked him. and we had some fun when we did this naughty panto video called puss in boots. as i say, right , in boots. as i say, right, right, right. barbara windsor was in it and he just sort of brought all his mates in, you know, and we were doing it in the middle of the summer, which

was really odd. panto gear and a hot august day. >> that's brilliant. what about fame? were you comfortable with fame? were you comfortable with fame because you became a household name , notorious as household name, notorious as nasty nick? did you get any difficult moments when you were walking down the street? people have a go at you. >> i couldn't, firstly, i couldn't. people were shouting out, oh, hello nick, and i couldn't understand. like there were credits at the end of eastenders, you know, which is right, john altman playing nick cotton, you know, and i thought, why don't they, why are they calling me nick? so i kind of got used to that. but i like people in general. i'm quite sort of sociable. so yeah , it sort of sociable. so yeah, it didn't, i learned to deal with it. and i think the age i was as well, i lied about my age as well. supposed to be 22 and i was about 31 or something. 32 when i got the part, luckily i looked a bit younger than i really was. >> well, actors always lie, don't they? they also say they can ride horses and that sort of thing. >> yeah. oh, that's that's not a good one. yeah. i actually did learn to ride a horse for sharpe's rifles. i never got the part, but. yeah. yeah. so you know, thank god i think you do have to. sometimes people look older than they are or younger. yeah. >> do you still watch eastenders and what do you think of the

show these days? >> i don't often watch it. in fact, i'm hard put to keep up with all the plays in the west end, all the movies, all the dvds i've got piled up on next to my television. so i don't really have time to watch soap, but i watched a really good episode. i just, but i watched a really good episode. ijust, i but i watched a really good episode. i just, i just sort of clicked on. one time, colin salmon had a big scene in the queen vic when his dad appeared, and it was it was really quite really . it was only about 4 or 5 really. it was only about 4 or 5 of them in the one episode. it was a really good episode, actually, and i met colin in the past and i thought, he's done really well on there. >> i won't ask if you're going to do a comeback because he was killed in, 2015, so there's no chance of a kind of bobby ewing shower moment, is there? >> well, you never know in soap, do you ? do you? >> talk to your accountant and your agent. let's make it happen .bnng your agent. let's make it happen . bring back nick lisa nandy a few seconds left, but you don't stop working. and you've got lots in the pipeline, haven't you? >> you've got at the moment things are a bit quiet, but i've got. well, i've got this unstoppable coming up. unsinkable rather. coming up. >> i've also got a documentary, unsinkable, as an audio drama , unsinkable, as an audio drama, isn't it? yeah. john malkovich isn't it? yeah. john malkovich is in it. >> yeah, yeah. yes. it's, it's

all about a ship that that they think was was sinking in the second world war and the in the atlantic convoy. and it's a true story, actually. and they thought it was going down so they all abandoned ship, disappeared into the mist and in the middle of the north atlantic . and then suddenly the next morning they saw this ship nearby. it hadn't gone down. oh my god, went back on board. and i'll tell you what it reminds me of gb news, which, let me tell you, is the topic of my take at ten. >> thank you to john altman. i'll see you in two. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers , sponsors of boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> hello and welcome to your gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. well, it's going to be quite an unsettled weekend with some showers, some longer spells of rain, even some thunder at times this evening. and it's all because of this area of low pressure which is swirling around the uk, sticking around for saturday and also sunday into this evening we'll see

plenty of showers move their way across the uk. these a little bit heavy at times, particularly across central areas, and we'll also start to see some longer outbreaks of rain move their way southwards into parts of scotland. and a fair amount of rain around tonight, which means it's going to be a mild night on offer . so to start off on it's going to be a mild night on offer. so to start off on sunday then these outbreaks of rain will slowly move their way southwards across parts of scotland. this could be a little bit heavy at times , particularly bit heavy at times, particularly as it does push up over the hills elsewhere . it's going to hills elsewhere. it's going to be a bit of a mix, some clearer spells, but also still the odd shower at times too. a little bit blustery across the north—west of scotland and a little bit blustery for a time across southern parts of the uk. but winds generally easing by the time we reach sunday morning. on the whole . then for morning. on the whole. then for the second half of the weekend, a fairly unsettled day with showers, some longer spells of rain and as the winds ease across the south, the showers will be fairly slow moving at

times, but there should still be plenty of sunshine in between those showers and the rain across the north will gradually break its way up through the course of the afternoon, as well . a little bit warmer compared to today. 21 degrees across the southeast, perhaps even 22 degrees if we see those prolonged, sunniest spells to start the week, then still plenty of showers across the northern half of the uk. still merging at times to bring longer spells of rain. but overall a largely dry day across parts of the south and southeast, with still plenty of that sunshine on offer, there will still be some showers in the outlook from wednesday onwards. plenty of dry weather on offer too, with those temperatures remaining around average looks like things are heating up. >> boxt boilers sperm answers of weather

13th of june 2021. we rather fell on air with dodgy sound, technical glitches and cameras, seemingly with a mind of their own . but the decision to get on own. but the decision to get on air as quickly as possible and steal a march on our rivals was a master stroke. the truth is that you'll never be ready to launch a project on this scale. and rather than spend months developing a polished and frankly rather boring product, we decided to be publish and be damned. to begin connecting with viewers at the earliest opportunity and to paraphrase one senior colleague to build the plane as we fly it and we're still building, we're still flying. and yes, sometimes we crash . but much as the crash. but much as the establishment would like to have strangled us at birth with a concerted campaign to cancel gb news us before it even started, which speaks volumes about their motivations, we are in rude health. we've had billions of

digital views on our own gb news app digital views on our own gb news app and on platforms like youtube, facebook and twitter, which are the future of broadcasting. we've become one of the fastest growing radio stations in the country. our website is in the top 20 for news in the uk , and we now news in the uk, and we now regularly catch sky news and bbc news in the ratings, including this show where i'm often beating sky news about now. in fact, this programme enjoyed a watershed moment just two weeks ago when we peaked at 122,000 people. at this exact time, all thanks to you. but this is just the beginning. establishment media is dying a slow death, partly because people consume television programmes in a different way and partly because the public, in my humble opinion, are looking for a more honest, authentic tv offering .

honest, authentic tv offering. after a perceived anti—brexit bias in the run up to and the aftermath of the referendum vote and one note coverage during the pandemic, which uncritically supported the case for masking, lockdowns and vaccine tyranny. there is a growing appetite for a channel which looks at things differently, which is balanced and which widens the national conversation to reflect what you, the british people, think and what you're actually talking about at home, at work, and most importantly, in the pub and despised as we are among many in the broadcasting establishment. of course we are. they can smell their own decay . we are their own decay. we are ultimately winning the argument, advertising revenue is up, membership is thriving, costs are coming down, and our detractors worst nightmare is on the way. a commercially viable business that will serve its growing army of viewers and listeners from across the political spectrum . if you don't

political spectrum. if you don't want to be told what to think, this is the place for you. if you want to see the free and fearless competition of ideas played out in a fair , good played out in a fair, good humoured and balanced way, this is the place for you. if you want tv and radio, which is live, honest, a bit messy at times, but truly authentic. with presenters falling out on air and camera angles sometimes wrong if you want tv and radio, which is real, presented by a diverse roster of tv talent who live in the real world, then this is the place for you . if this is the place for you. if you feel that britain has many problems and many challenges, but is a successful, diverse and dynamic country which you ultimately love and always will, this is the place for you. if you think our history is long and complex but ultimately glorious, having gifted the world parliamentary democracy, the modern market economy , and the modern market economy, and an end to slavery, this is the

place for you. if you believe in plain old common sense that the country has to live within its means that there are two biological sexes, and if you support martin luther king's dream of a tolerant, colour—blind society, not one where race is the only lens through which we see the world, this is the place for you . you this is the place for you. you might have noticed there's an election coming and this presents the channel with a huge opportunity to hold whoever wins power properly to account . and power properly to account. and how will we do that differently to the others ? well, with a bit to the others? well, with a bit of wit, with a bit of natural spontaneity, with balance, with an open mind and with no agenda which is why we are attracting an audience from all backgrounds, all classes , all backgrounds, all classes, all cultures, all political persuasions, all ages. that is why we are called the people's channel. the people will decide

on july the 4th, but a growing number of brits have already chosen us. governments will come and go. but thanks to you, gb news is here to stay . okay, news is here to stay. okay, happy third anniversary. here is the next 30. let's get full pundh the next 30. let's get full pundit reaction . see, i told you pundit reaction. see, i told you it was live and spontaneous . i it was live and spontaneous. i keep my promises. listen, let's get the views of my top pundits, tv legend, the green goddess herself, diana moran , ex tory mp herself, diana moran, ex tory mp and farmer neil parish and academic broadcaster and anarchist doctor lisa mckenzie . anarchist doctor lisa mckenzie. diana moran. will gb news still be here in three years time? >> i most certainly hope so. i am a number one fan of gb news. i feel proud that i've been around for some time on it. we

were both last, two weeks ago on the programme that you said had so many viewers. i've actually experienced broadcasting right at the beginning. before i was there, the very first day of bbc breakfast and everybody said ridiculous television. at that time . it's no good. they've said time. it's no good. they've said the same sort of thing about you . you're going to be their .you're going to be their people's channel. you really are i >> -- >> okay. i mean, lisa mckenzie, like i said, we're building the plane as it flies, but we make mistakes. we've made a few enemies. we've had our collar felt by the authorities. many people don't like the channel. do they have good reason not to like us, well, i think some people do have good reason to not like gb news. >> you know , because if you are, >> you know, because if you are, if you believe in a lot of, issues that gets raised by gb news and debated rigorously vie,

you're not going to like gb news. i know lots of people who don't like it, but i actually know more people who do. three years ago when this first started, i was asked by a friend who was going to work @gbnews if i would go on, come on as a guest and i was very sceptical. i thought, i guest and i was very sceptical. ithought, i don't guest and i was very sceptical. i thought, i don't know, guest and i was very sceptical. ithought, i don't know, i don't i thought, i don't know, i don't know what's going to happen here, but i came on and i've got to say, i've been coming on here for three years, you know, on different shows . and what we get different shows. and what we get on gb news is a proper debate. we get a proper argument. we don't always agree , and the don't always agree, and the saturday night is a great fun, actually . so i think, i think actually. so i think, i think from where i come from, which is the east midlands, people are watching gb news all the time. so it's definitely going to be here in three years. >> however, is gb news is biased. do you feel neil parish has it got an agenda? many think it does. >> i don't think you do. i think you're probably anti—establishment, but i think

that's good because i think the bbc, most of the established media has a, you know, has a has an agenda. and i don't think gb news does. i think we can debate things properly. i think as you say, sometimes, you know, the wheels might fall off things , wheels might fall off things, but so what i think that's what people actually quite like. i think perhaps things have become sort of too slick over the years. and i think sometimes the bbc is seen as just sort of mouthing and the acquired wisdom and very much a metropol , an and very much a metropol, an acquired wisdom. and i think, you know, i mean, i'm a farmer , you know, i mean, i'm a farmer, a rural area. i find that lots of people who, listen to, to gb news, even some people listen to me, believe it or not. >> well, rightly so, because you're a wise man and you are. >> i play it to the cows as well to make sure they've got something to watch as well. >> i'm sure the cows listen to gb news. it probably brings on their milk. yes, neil, briefly, if you can. we have come on stock on stock with the broadcasting authorities once or

twice. ofcom who are there to regulate uk broadcasting, doesn't that suggest that we are a threat to the. you know, i don't know, viewers and listeners, are we are we a blot on the broadcasting landscape? >> well, i think you're different and i think you sometimes push the boat right out. and of course sometimes you will get your knuckles rapped, but in in a democracy, we need a gb news. we need somebody to get out there and tell it how it is. and i think with which is very likely now an incoming labour government, which will be more politically correct than ever and more woke than ever, then i think gb news is going to be so essential, but i think you're a lawyers are going to have to watch, because i think you'll find with an incoming labour government, i suspect they will be watching you like a hawk. okay, well, there's a warning you. >> there's a shot across the bows. in the spirit of balance , bows. in the spirit of balance, let me tell you that labour will point to their commanding pole in the leads, in the in the, in

the polls, their commanding lead in the polls. they will suggest that demonstrates that britain is ready for a labour government . but it's all about opinions, isn't it? let me know your thoughts about gb news three years on gbnews.com forward slash your say, lots to get through. but next up, how about this princess catherine makes her first public appearance since her cancer diagnosis. is she on the road to recovery? i'll be asking the queen of us, royal reporting kinsey schofield. who's in the uk and joins me live in the studio

breakfast. and then in the background . we've been with you background. we've been with you since day one. susan, i think you've been on air a couple of times as well. thank you for those kind words. steve says. i don't think people fully appreciate how much gb news demonstrates that. we are still just about a free country , and just about a free country, and how about this, can't stand the british biased corporation. gb news is the one for me. well, look, thank you so much for that. keep those messages coming. we would be nothing without you. so look, folks, lots more to get through. the papers are on the way, but we have good news regarding princess catherine. that's right. she's made her first much anticipated public appearance of the year at the annual trooping the year at the annual trooping the colour parade . the princess, the colour parade. the princess, who's currently undergoing treatment for cancer, could be seen smiling and waving from the buckingham palace balcony at the end of a ceremony filled with p°mp end of a ceremony filled with pomp and pageantry . king pomp and pageantry. king charles, who's also receiving treatment for cancer, inspected troops from a gold carriage

rather than on horseback, and thousands watched on in the heavy rain to witness one of the biggest events in the royal calendar. there were cheers from the waiting crowd as they caught their first glimpse of catherine and the king, heading from buckingham palace to horseguards parade . well, let's get reaction parade. well, let's get reaction from someone who was there today. she's flown in all the way from hollywood, california. the queen of us royal reporting kinsey schofield kinzie. good to see you. >> good to see you too. it was so much fun. magical day. >> now, first of all, have you dned >> now, first of all, have you dried out yet? because it was raining all day, wasn't it? >> well, there are a couple of pieces at home or at the back of the hotel that are still drying out. yeah, the weather did not dampen people's spirits, did it? absolutely not. it actually made it more fun because when the rain would stop, everyone would start cheering. and then there was one point when we were all in the mall and everybody had their umbrellas up and people started chanting like umbrellas down, umbrellas down. and one man said, not until there's something to see. so when he

finally did close the umbrella, everyone started cheering. so it just we were all in it together. it was so much fun and we both have crazy elections happening right now. it was a nice escape and it was something that everybody could, you know, unify around . around. >> nice, definitely. >> nice, definitely. >> what is your verdict on how catherine looked ? first of all, catherine looked? first of all, just her health, her demeanour, her body language . her body language. >> well, first of all, stunning. i mean, you can't deny that she looked absolutely incredible. my fair lady, she looked like audrey hepburn in the outfit . audrey hepburn in the outfit. she was wearing the black and white, and she was very when she passed me the first time, was so engaged with the children in the carriage. right. and all you can think about is the fact that she's had a lot of special time with them lately, that this family is incredibly bonded and, you know, she's had the opportunity to spend a lot of time at home with them. yeah, the children kind of like scoffing at each other and the carriage. every once in a while, you could see princess charlotte. hush, louis. sometimes. or, you know, it's

just they're incredibly close. >> beautiful family indeed . >> beautiful family indeed. >> beautiful family indeed. >> and ran. let's get some pictures, if we can, of catherine. because i'd like your verdict on the outfit . okay, so verdict on the outfit. okay, so for those listening on the radio, she was dressed in in white. >> yes. she looked very angelic, didn't she? >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it's a very smart suit, though. was it like a chanel type suit ? i don't know about type suit? i don't know about these things. i'm no fashion expert. i mean, it really is. >> i think it was jenny paquin, but it really does look like my fair lady, audrey hepburn. and it when audrey has the black bow and white, black and white bow on. i don't know if that was the inspiration, but she looks so sophisticated and obviously so smart, and she just is. sophisticated and obviously so smart, and she just is . it's smart, and she just is. it's what we've come to expect from her. i would expect nothing less. >> yeah, very, pointed shoulder pads and a very smart hat as well. >> quite stately , i think. her look. >> yes. yeah, i think so . i, >> yes. yeah, i think so. i, i think that i was surprised that she went with white. i wondered

if she was going to go with the classic wales blue that the entire family often wears . but, entire family often wears. but, you know, she looked beautiful. she did look healthy . and if you she did look healthy. and if you look at pictures of her from the coronation, it's the same woman. i mean, i felt a lot of relief seeing her today. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and what about the body language between herself and her husband, william? >> i mean, flirt, alert. right? right. there are some pictures of a room. yeah, there are some pictures of them looking at each other. >> where ? i mean, my heart fell >> where? i mean, my heart fell into my stomach. it's just so sweet . and i had this sweet. and i had this conversation with my mom. cancer bnngs conversation with my mom. cancer brings people closer. yeah. and you did feel that way. even looking at prince george, admiring his mother and father on the balcony. cancer does make families so much closer. and they've always been in love. you've seen her give him little rump taps. sometimes when they're at engagements . yes, but they're at engagements. yes, but i do think that this. it was beautiful . beautiful. >> i won't be trying a rump tap on mrs. dolan any time soon, because i want to keep my hands.

she's very strict . but listen, she's very strict. but listen, wonderful scenes at the buckingham palace. you went down there. why did you specifically fly all the way to the uk to be there? >> well, this is an important trooping. >> we did not know catherine was going to be there, but this is the king's first trooping with cancen the king's first trooping with cancer. yeah, this is only his second trooping in general. and so i thought it was important to be there because i felt like it was a historic event. i mean , was a historic event. i mean, and then to have catherine there, that was amazing. we haven't seen the family since christmas all together. so this was important . was important. >> and now it's important that she has time to recover. but do you think we'll be seeing more of her? what do you think the strategy will be going forward? >> i think the strategy going forward is basically what they did with this specific engagement , did with this specific engagement, and it's day by day, very last minute . how are you very last minute. how are you feeling? do you feel, do you feeling? do you feel, do you feel up to this? we might see her paired with prince william at the start to kind of to phase in, but she is polling wise the

most important, important, most popular member of the royal family. >> is she more popular than rishi sunak? >> even i'd say pretty, pretty much. okay, i'd say she's got pretty. >> she doesn't get rained on ehhen >> yeah, yeah, but, i think that she's such an important member of the royal family. we'll see her when her doctors say it's okay and when she feels good enough to. but, you know, i thought that it was crazy because you saw the king. the crowd went wild. but when we realised that catherine was right behind him, those screams got even larger. >> of course, by the way, by some miracle of coincidence, it seems that meghan markle has launched a product around this time. tell me more. >> i really appreciate you using the word coincidence because thatis the word coincidence because that is garbage. mark dolan you. >> i can't lie to your face, yeah. so one of harry harry's actual his best friend nacho, who he plays polo with, posted some of meghan's new dog biscuits to instagram a few hours before trooping. some of us predicted i predicted this

over a week ago that meghan would launch something. something would come up. you know, harry and meghan burn lots of bridges . you don't go posting of bridges. you don't go posting something. a gift from meghan markle without permission from meghan markle. obviously, nacho had permission from harry and meghan to post this. obviously meghan to post this. obviously meghan gave this to him and it just seemed really, kind of catty and unnecessary to do it right when we were having catherine's big return, of course , the couple would deny course, the couple would deny all allegations. >> i'm delighted to say that you're with us next week because you're with us next week because you're in the uk for a couple of weeks, aren't you? >> i am, so listen, so excited to have you in britain and we'll see you next week in the studio. >> the queen of us showbiz and royal reporting kinsey schofield don't you think we should try to keep her? i think so, let's organise an emergency visa, folks, lots more to come. the on the way with full pundh on the way with full pundit reactions. see

delightful to see the real people, the key people, the king, the queen and dear kate just lovely, most definitely. >> i mean, she's a very important figure in so proud. proud to be british. there you go . you've faced your own cancer go. you've faced your own cancer battle when you were 47. can you give us a sense of what catherine is going through and how hard today may have been? >> i heard you talk just now. somebody said that cancer makes you stronger air and brings people together, what? once i had got over the total shock of what i had been told, and i was on my own when i was told it, i kept it a secret. i didn't want to worry my family or my friends, but of course , friends, but of course, eventually it came out because i was so high profile at the time. yeah, my life has been richer for the cancer experience, and i woke up from the anaesthetic. that anaesthetic. do i mean that? yes i do that day after

seven hours. and i said to my god, thank you, i'll never waste a day of my life. and i hope that i haven't done. >> you most definitely have. and that's so well put, neil. catherine is an important figure in the family and an important figure for the country, and will eventually be our queen. >> yes. and i think, kate , the >> yes. and i think, kate, the british people are so fond of her and i think we've got a royal family. you know, i think the republicans at the moment must be rather worried because we have got a very great royal family and we've got strength in depth, strength and depth coming through. and we've got a young family coming on as well. and i think when , you know, things are think when, you know, things are so miserable and the weather is miserable and politics is pretty miserable, especially if you happen to be a tory at the moment, then, you know, it's lovely to see something that gives us heart, gives the country heart, and she is a lovely woman. and when she smiles, the sun does come out. you're right. and i think the british people, i think she wasn't born royal, but she seems

to be royal. and it's in a very old fashioned thing to say. to be royal. and it's in a very old fashioned thing to say . yes, old fashioned thing to say. yes, but i think from my perspective i just love to see her and i think she will be such a support to the king when he becomes king, and of course, what was interesting was when they, they interviewed the king and how fond he is of his daughter in law and of course, the fact they both got cancer as well. and i think we forget sometimes they are a family, and they are in the limelight, but they are a family, and i think we're just all very happy to see her there. >> now, lisa, i know you're no great cheerleader for the royal family. >> no, i'm not, i'm a i am a republican. i don't want a royal family at the head of our state. but i am not going to be mean about. kate, i'm not going to. i think she she's. it's a she lives a difficult life. and i think, you know, as well as , you think, you know, as well as, you know, she she's got the wealth, she's got , but she, she's in the

she's got, but she, she's in the pubuc she's got, but she, she's in the public eye all the time. no. living in a goldfish bowl. yes, she is. and i think over the last few months, because i am on twitter and i watch twitter, there's been some very, very nasty, conspiracy theories about her. and so i feel for her as a woman. and i think even though i'm a republican and there might be thousands and millions of us out there that are republicans as they, i don't think anybody would would wish her ill over this. no. >> i mean, do you think now, as a republican, you're going to have to wait another couple of decades before the royal family fall? >> i think i'm going to have to. it's not going to happen. i'm realistic. i'm not utopian , realistic. i'm not utopian, isn't it? i'm realistic. we've got the republic is further away than it has been for a long time. yes it is, yes. >> see, mark, i think that the problem with a with a republic is that you've got to elect a president, and then, you know, you're much better to keep a royal family. >> then the forces swear allegiance to the royal family,

and it carries on because you agree with that. we've had some very interesting presidents over the years. have we elected them? and i suggest the country would not have wanted them. >> look at the examples of presidents over the world at the moment. >> biden i agree with you. it's not great, really. >> and the problem with, with a with a uk president, it would be a clapped out ex politician or celebrity, wouldn't it? >> yeah, i agree with you. >> yeah, i agree with you. >> it would be president tony blair. i agree with you president gary lineker. yeah i agree i agree with i agree with you. >> the current state of our politics now is not a good example . example. >> who would be who would be a good president for this country? >> also, what are we going to have? are we going to have a president like the american president like the american president or the french president, where they have got huge amounts of power ? or are we huge amounts of power? or are we going to have a president a bit like the irish president, who's much more public? he's much more just a figurehead. >> i don't know. >> i don't know. >> and i think, you know, i think we have as a president, i think we have as a president, i think we have as a president, i think we got enough trouble with the politicians we got. and i can speak as a politician and you know what i mean?

>> it would have to be a joint presidency , i think ant and dec presidency, i think ant and dec or something like that. yeah. >> to unite the nation. do you know what, though, for the spice girls split five ways for this. for this i shouldn't bec perhaps for this show. >> yeah, it might be nigel farage. well, i tell you, you see, you you would agree with that, wouldn't you? >> i think, you know, like i said, i think we're much better off keeping our royal family and that will be a much safer bet. well, i just, that will be a much safer bet. well, ijust, i that will be a much safer bet. well, i just, i yeah, i that will be a much safer bet. well, ijust, i yeah, i say that will be a much safer bet. well, i just, i yeah, i say that well, ijust, i yeah, i say that i think lisa, that like a lot of british things, i think the monarchy is a bonkers idea. >> yeah. which, which kind of works. >> it's. no i agree look, this is part of being british. i'm british, it's part of being british. the royal family and people not liking them is part of being british as well. >> what is fascinating, mark about our royal family is if you look, the whole of northern europe still have monarchy . they europe still have monarchy. they do, and yet the southern europe doesn't. and it's quite interesting , and it's fact that interesting, and it's fact that we've got, you know, through the anglo—saxon world, if you like, nearly all have still have

monarchies , most definitely, but monarchies, most definitely, but most savage with kate at the moment is because she was an ordinary girl. >> yes. and she's brought ordinary ness into the royal. >> that was such a natural charm. style. yeah. with such style and naturalness. >> there you go. jane slowed up the cow clip. we'll use that as a trail for the next part , a trail for the next part, because i want to have a quick look at a couple of the other stories. and this in the mail on sunday. keir starmer my wife makes me feel complete. who i really am. how important do diana moran is? the political spouse i would have thought incredibly important because the politician is going to be battered all sides round. >> yes. and to have some stability i.e. in his spouse. yeah. and his family around him just brings him back to earth again. >> yeah. i mean, does a

perception of the spouse influence your voting intentions? >> lisa mckenzie well, it won't it won't it won't influence mine. because i'm not voting because you're i don't know . so because you're i don't know. so it won't it won't. >> does it impact your judgement of the prime minister are you more likely to look fondly on a prime minister if you respect their partner , no. not really, their partner, no. not really, because it helped barack obama to have michelle, didn't it? it did, but she was part of the i find it, i'll be honest. i find the denis thatcher. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, he was actually the best partner because he kept out of the way, didn't he really? he but i find it a bit cheesy, actually, the way that the wheel, you know, at the conferences and the wife comes on or the husband and says, this is my wonderful partner, i think it's a bit cheesy, actually. >> well, what do you think? of course you have a political spouse. >> can i name her? >> can i name her? >> yes, sue. >> yes, sue. >> lovely. sue. he's a very fine lady. >> and without rock and without her, i wouldn't have been able to do what i did over the years because she was always there. she was always supportive, and

she supported me all the way through and even through all my troubled times as well. >> i played to her. >> i played to her. >> so therefore, you know, i think it's very important. i think it's very important. i think it's very important. i think it is a bit cheesy sometimes when you see it, but i think people like to see a couple together and they like to know that there's some stability. and i think, you know, your family background , know, your family background, but we've all i always try with my political career that sue was always kept very much in the background, very supportive, but wasn't front of house. but she wasn't front of house. but she was always there. and that's what you need , i think. and what you need, i think. and because you don't want your spouse male or female, to be be the prime minister when they're not. >> so the hillary clinton syndrome. >> yeah. like maggie thatcher and dennis. >> that's right. yeah. >> that's right. yeah. >> that's right. yeah. >> that's a dream partnership . >> that's a dream partnership. she was busy being prime minister and he was in his private members club getting sozzled on. >> he certainly liked to drink. he did he god bless him . he did he god bless him. >> what a lovely man. and actually a very intelligent too . actually a very intelligent too. man okay, folks, let's take a look at this video. this is of the police dealing with a cow that was on the run in the

southeast of, of the country in london, we're going to discuss the ethics of this. were the police right to run over a cow that was on the run in london? we'll discuss that. a lot of uproar on that subject, plus the highs and lows of the election. all the latest from our top fleet street insider

next. >> big animal. >> big animal. >> he was a big animal. >> he was a big animal. >> okay, well, a big reaction to my take at ten. gb news is three years old. i've asked for your thoughts, our website is gbnews.com. forward slash your say. and how about this, sheila says mark, apart from the debates, i actually like gb news when they go local and highlight issues in all parts of the uk, i think it's important and brings a cohesion to the country. if we

all understand each other. or maybe i'm just curious , but i maybe i'm just curious, but i like the regional reporters. sophie reaper is great and so is jack. keep up the good work. thank you sheila. really appreciate that. okay, let's have a look at a couple of other stories and let's have a look at this remarkable story which broke today. it's gone viral online. and it's the police who hit a cow in felton , west hit a cow in felton, west london. now the cow is okay, but you'll see that the cow was on the run. and what they've done is essentially brought the cow to that to, to heal by knocking the cow over . basically, the cow the cow over. basically, the cow has been injured, but i'm pleased to say not put down. so look away if you're easily offended by this sort of imagery, but what do you think, diana moran? did the police handle that ? well, to see this handle that? well, to see this cow knocked over in such a way? >> well, i have to say that i live fairly close to where the cow was knocked over, and it's a very , very busy part of the

very, very busy part of the outskirts of london, and all the planes are going low overhead into heathrow there as well. it must have been a very scared cow, and something had to be done. there's a farmer sitting next to her. well, yes . next to her. well, yes. >> what? >> what? >> what's a very good point? i mean, i would wonder whether the cops are damned if they do and damned if they don't. >> got a feeling if a child had been attacked or hit by that cow, it would be a different story, wouldn't it ? story, wouldn't it? >> yeah. i mean, i think naturally, if the police had been able to know how to handle cattle, they would have gone beside it and just sort of guided it through. they didn't need to ram it, you see. yeah. and that would be my argument. but naturally you can't expect all police to be trained on how in london in the middle of london. but i also wonder why didn't they call a vet and actually have it darted , that actually have it darted, that would have been the much more sensible thing, because then it would have, it would have collapsed, they could have taken it away and then it would have recovered. yeah. and it was. you see, the trouble is, once you start hitting it with a vehicle, you could have injured it even

more. >> well, of course it could go completely crazy. briefly. yeah. could have backfired briefly. >> it's a miracle the cow is still alive. when i saw the footage, i assume it would have been put down. very robust creatures. lisa, i've got to get to paul connew, but do you think the police were wrong to run over the cow? >> yes, i do actually. and people in the area, actually, when you watch the video , i've when you watch the video, i've watched the video and people are sort of shouting, don't know, don't do it. so i mean, i'm not an expert on cows . an expert on cows. >> a lot of my viewers and listeners are very upset by what the police. >> yes. and i know they are. but again, is that's very british, isn't it, that we do care about the cow. >> we do. we love our cows also. >> they seem to be chasing it for a very long time. and that's why i can't understand why a vet wasn't called in to actually dart it. >> well that's it. >> well that's it. >> it's not like they were busy catching burglars, was it, let's now head to the last word . and now head to the last word. and tonight, i'm delighted to welcome political author and former editor of the sunday mirror, paul conway. paul, you've got tomorrow's papers. what's caught your eye?

>> well, i it's politics, of course. and, rishi sunak apparently put into the sunday times has put his faith in his his hindu faith to keep him going. but frankly, looking at him recently, he looked he looks a beaten man. and, i'm not surprised . the latest poll out surprised. the latest poll out today suggests that the tories could end up with only 72 seats in wow after the election, with labour with a majority of something around about 260 200. >> can i ask you one question, we've worked together for a long time, and you always challenge orthodoxy . do you believe these orthodoxy. do you believe these polls or are is there talk of a labour supermajority rather labour superm ajority rather overcooked labour supermajority rather overcooked ? overcooked? >> well, it's something i look at in a new book. we've got coming out on the election called general election 2024. the message and the messengers . the message and the messengers. and of course, some of the messengers are the pollsters, but , but the polls are too but, but the polls are too consistent and, and the more

sophisticated ones using the mrp system , in fact, you know, are system, in fact, you know, are coming up with the same thing. so you could when the when you have a tory party just over halfway through the election campaign . and their campaign now campaign. and their campaign now is based upon pleading with the public, don't give labour too big a landslide . that's a that's big a landslide. that's a that's unprecedented. it's, and i think the bigger story after july the 4th is going to be less the first hundred days of, keir starmer as prime minister. and it's going to be the survival or otherwise of the tory party. can it survive as we know it? what will it have to merge with reform? will nigel farage be a key player? it's going to be a fascinating aftermath . well, indeed. >> i mean, paul, can the conservative party brand survive this election? >> that's the question. or will the tory party split because there are those who are now

openly courting the idea of a merger with reform and nigel farage being a major player in what's called a realignment of the right . what's called a realignment of the right. but what's called a realignment of the right . but where do the one the right. but where do the one nafion the right. but where do the one nation tories go then? and on the latest polls and the lib dems are in with a i still think it it'll it's an outside chance but it's not impossible that they could end up as the second largest party. >> now that's an extraordinary thought on that political bombshell. my thanks to paul conway. paul, i wish we had longer a bit of trouble with the line earlier this evening, but we'll catch up soon. former editor of trashed. >> so we're on. we're on the phone with a well that's it. >> well, listen, you're looking you're looking better than ever, paul you're looking better than ever, paul, so thank you for that. we'll definitely catch up soon, many thanks to my top pundits today, to diana, and also to neil and to lisa. please come back and see us soon. many thanks to you for all of your messages on the chat board , your messages on the chat board, your company on the radio and watching on telly at home. we're

because of this area of low pressure which is swirling around the uk, sticking around for saturday and also sunday into this evening, we'll see plenty of showers move their way across the uk. these a little bit heavy at times, particularly across central areas, and we'll also start to see some longer outbreaks of rain move their way southwards into parts of scotland. and a fair amount of rain around tonight, which means it's going to be a mild night on offer. so to start off on sunday, then these outbreaks of rain will slowly move their way southwards across parts of scotland. this could be a little bit heavy at times, particularly as it does push up over the hills elsewhere. it's going to be a bit of a mix, some clearer spells, but also still the odd shower at times too. a little bit blustery across the north—west of scotland and a little bit blustery for a time across southern parts of the uk. but winds generally easing by the time we reach sunday morning . so on the whole then for the second half of the weekend , a second half of the weekend, a fairly unsettled day with

showers, some longer spells of rain and as the winds ease across the south, the showers will be fairly slow moving at times, but there should still be plenty of sunshine in between those showers and the rain across the north will gradually break its way up through the course of the afternoon as well. a little bit warmer compared to today. a little bit warmer compared to today . 21 degrees across the today. 21 degrees across the southeast, perhaps even 22 degrees if we see those prolonged sunny spells to start the week, then still plenty of showers across the northern half of the uk. still merging at times to bring longer spells of rain. but overall a largely dry day across parts of the south and southeast, we're still plenty of that sunshine on offer. there will still be some showers in the outlook from wednesday onwards. plenty of dry weather on offer too, with those

gb news. >> good evening. i'm ray addison in the gb newsroom . our top in the gb newsroom. our top stories. the princess of wales has resumed some public duties as she continues her cancer treatment. crowds cheered as princess catherine appeared with the king and other members of the king and other members of the royal family on the balcony at buckingham palace. a 41 gun salute and an raf fly—past

marked his majesty's official birthday following the trooping the colour parade. meanwhile, post office campaigner sir alan bates is among those recognised in the king's birthday honours list. the former subpostmaster says his newly awarded knighthood is recognition of the sheer hell that hundreds of post office workers went through . office workers went through. labour and the lib dems have set out their plans to cut cancer waiting lists. the liberal democrats say they'll introduce 200 more radiotherapy machines and a legal guarantee that every cancer patient should receive treatment within 62 days of an urgent referral. meanwhile labour says they'll deliver an extra 40,000 appointments, tests and scans a week at evenings and weekends. the conservatives health secretary, victoria atkins, has acknowledged that there is more to do to improve cancer detection rates . the pm cancer detection rates. the pm says he'll stay on as an mp, even if the conservatives lose the next general election. rishi

sunak said he'll fight to the last day as he responded to a question about a yougov poll which shows that reform uk has overtaken the tories for the first time. the party's leader, nigel farage, has suggested he can be the voice of opposition . can be the voice of opposition. and rishi sunak has slammed president putin for failing to attend a ukraine peace conference. the prime minister has been among more than 90 western leaders attending an event today in switzerland. they're hoping that it will put pressure on russia to end the war. >> putin has no interest in a genuine peace. he's launched a sustained diplomatic campaign against this very summit, ordering countries to stay away and we should ask, why does russia feel that they are so threatened by a summit discussing the basic principles of territorial integrity, food security and nuclear safety? instead, russia's representative at the united nations recently said the only topic for any international meetings on

ukraine will be the unconditional surrender
