1:08 pm
breaking news story, harry, can i just have your initial response to what we know so far has happened? >> yeah . it's interesting. it >> yeah. it's interesting. it was supposedly because it's this, meant to be a private party, but it's a very public area that we can see from your footage there, it is something that the police will have been expecting. either extremists, terrorist or men, severely mentally ill people , who want to mentally ill people, who want to make a name for themselves. so i know that those would have been very strategically placed. those police officers, they will be highly trained. and, whilst making their way. and those commanders are and the control rooms and taking these calls are assessing that information and intelligence to see. right. is this a spoof call . can we this a spoof call. can we actually tie it down to a specific location? how many people are there involved. because that's crucial. what are their weapons? have they got backpacks, etc. what what nationality are they perhaps. and that side of things , then and that side of things, then they're looking at the threat assessment. it's real. there's
1:09 pm
an axe , there's potentially an an axe, there's potentially an incendiary device. whether they found that afterwards or before , found that afterwards or before, we don't know. they're also looking at those units going to the scene of thing. right. what are our powers and policies here? because it may not be as they as they as they arrive, they as they as they arrive, they need to know what they're going to be doing. if it's not as it quite seems initially, and then their tactical options. now, if you're in a public area and somebody's got an axe or a knife, if they're very aggressive and mobile, there's amazing how much damage . as we amazing how much damage. as we already know from a previous germany attack, how many people can be hurt and even killed, if you can't isolate that person away from the public or isolate the public away from that individual, then that leaves very few options. and you're also thinking of contingencies. what if they get to a car before those units get there? so they're thinking about it. they're not just running around thinking, come right, let's find this guy and shoot him. and what is the most minimum force we can use which does not put the pubuc use which does not put the public or other officers at risk? that's the crucial thing. if they can save his life,
1:10 pm
negotiate it like they seem like they did, they try to negotiate with them, and if they're not getting any answer from that, then then there's very little options. then then there's very little opfions.so then then there's very little options. so you've got strategic decisions being made , tactical decisions being made, tactical decisions. i was a tactical, tactical to , and, and i was an tactical to, and, and i was an operational firearms commander as well, and so i was very much involved as the grassroots and putting tactics into operation, deciding tactics . so it's a deciding tactics. so it's a complicated thing, but they'll be used to it. and they will be drummed into it with that training , drummed into it with that training, and drummed into it with that training , and they won't even training, and they won't even think about, oh, am i going to shoot someone or, you know, am i going to be in the media? am i going to be in the media? am i going to be charged with murder? they won't be thinking that. and when i was in similar positions, fortunately not actually pulling the trigger, but i pulled pulled the trigger, but i pulled pulled the trigger, but i pulled pulled the trigger, and took the slack off on a couple of occasions. you're almost thinking it's like a training exercises because the training is so real. it really feels real. so you're thinking, okay, i know what to do now
1:11 pm
because this is happening. have i got all the other options? i know what my colleagues are going to be doing and so and so. so it's a good team working. unfortunately, this is the safest option on many occasions. and the man was shot. >> harry, just very quick. we are running out of time. what doesit are running out of time. what does it mean going forward for fans out there. will security be increased to other grounds now? do you think ? do you think? >> i think the security will be as high as it ever will be. it just shows. unfortunately, there are two serious, serious injuries . one minor injury, i injuries. one minor injury, i believe with this, you can't eliminate risk. you can only do that by cancelling the whole thing, so they're going to continue what they're doing, and we're going to be hoping the pubuc we're going to be hoping the public bring in the information and intel of anything suspicious. >> brilliant, harry tanguy, thank you very much there for, explaining the background as to what might be going on out in hamburg now that, there was a potential terror. we don't know for sure, attack at just before the poland dutch game, where 40,000 fans are looking forward to the match and having a good time, hope everyone stay safe
1:12 pm
out there. now, we'll bring you more up to date on that story as and when it happens. but we move on.the and when it happens. but we move on. the conservative party are facing an electoral extinction. according to a new poll from savanta, it's the lowest vote share since the end of theresa may's premiership and represents labour's largest lead since rishi sunak became pm. and it's not just the savanta poll ehhen not just the savanta poll either. the latest mrp poll of 22,000 people would leave the conservatives with only 72 of 6632 seats, giving labour a 262 seat majority . joining me now is seat majority. joining me now is gb news political editor , tom gb news political editor, tom harwood to explain, tom well, you don't need to explain. it's just not a good day for rishi sunak and the tories, is it? >> it really is not. so these are two separate polls. the first one, savanta that you talk about, savanta, has actually been one of the more favourable
1:13 pm
pollsters towards the tories in recent months. >> having them between the mid and the high 20s. well, they have them now on 21, a clear trend away from the conservative party, particularly since that d—day debacle from the prime minister, where he didn't attend the international event at the end of that anniversary . the international event at the end of that anniversary. but equally, there's perhaps a more significant poll that you referenced. this is the survation mrp poll. and this isn't just a poll. it's a seat projection. it's known as multi—level post—stratification multi —level post—stratification and regression multi—level post—stratification and regression analysis, which is a very complicated way of saying this is sort of a seat by seat, complicated way of conducting a projection. and that way we can learn the variances in the regions and evenin variances in the regions and even in the localities of how different places will vote in different places will vote in different ways. and that's how we get this extraordinary number of just 72 seats for the conservatives. remember in 2019, the conservatives won 365 seats.
1:14 pm
it would be the most astonishing drop in seat, total drop in share of the vote. it would be the lowest ever seat total for the lowest ever seat total for the conservatives since the party was founded in 1832. it's the oldest political party in the oldest political party in the world that has been going continuously, and it would be an almighty drop and one of the main reasons why that's happening is, to according survation, there's a pretty high jump survation, there's a pretty high jump in the reform vote in this mrp. reform will get seven seats to the tories 72, but the big beneficial, party of this split in the right is the party that comes through the middle, the labour party, because the labour party in this poll actually has a slightly lower share of the vote than in many recent polls. they're down into the high 30s, 38 nowhere near where boris got in 2019. boris johnson's conservatives won around 44. then the labour party in this poll on 38. but because the tories are so much lower,
1:15 pm
despite the labour party not having the heights of those sort of blair style or boris johnson style, shares of the vote, that doesn't matter because the tories are so much lower. keir starmer can actually win bigger on a lower share of the vote. >> i'm glad you made sense of that, tom. thank you very much. it's just not a good day for them, is it ? it's just not a good day for them, is it? and as you say, all them, is it? and as you say, all the polls are pointing in the same direction. so they're all si king. that's tom harwood. they're explaining what the hell's going on with the polls andifs hell's going on with the polls and it's not good news, right. let's see what my wonderful panel make of this. today i'm joined by author and broadcaster amy nicholl and broadcaster and journalist claire muldoon. thank you very much for joining me today. thank you. really appreciate your time on a lovely sunday afternoon. now, you wouldn't want to be rishi sunak this morning, would you, claire? or particularly any day at the moment? well, no, because, you know, we've only got, what, two more weeks, two weeks in thursday when the polls open. there is a handful of postal votes in already. we hear, but in the area that i am in, of
1:16 pm
west and west london, there's been no one canvassing, no leaflets through any doors . leaflets through any doors. there's absolutely nothing out there. and i'll tell you the three things that will be taken away from this general election so far in terms of hustings. one is nigel farage. love him or hate him, he's got the headlines by hook or by crook or by milkshake . he's there. the milkshake. he's there. the second thing would be the optic of rishi sunak standing outside in the pouring rain, announcing the general election and the third one, d—day, d—day, you know, and that is just the final nail in the coffin. and, you know, the other thing i want to tell our viewers about is the fact that, okay, if this poll is correct and the tories get 72 seats, labour 262, do you know that snp are on our on target to get 37? that's first past the post for you. that ain't any proportional representation, don. it is quite astonishing. it's astonishing. one of the facts i read today is that no
1:17 pm
majority party since the second world war has reached 50% of the vote. so basically, the people governing us don't even get 50% of our votes. we actively vote against the governing party and have done since the second world war. but amy, the one thing i want to pull out with you is all seven of reformed predicted seats are going to be are going to be won from tory seats that were voted in on 2019. so this is really i mean, this is strong stuff for reform, isn't it? >> i think that this all can be rewound quite nicely. back to brexit, because brexit essentially asked the public are you happy with the status quo? and they said no , we're not. and and they said no, we're not. and then the 2019 election said promise, promise , get brexit promise, promise, get brexit done and things will change for you. and then guess what? they broke their promise. all the promises that were made on that 2019 manifesto bring immigration down, the big bus , 350 million down, the big bus, 350 million to the nhs. nothing changed. nothing changed. living standards arguably got worse and we've now got the worst inequality since the victorian
1:18 pm
times. and i don't think the conservatives can win back the trust of the electorate. and i think that's where reform has made gains , because they're made gains, because they're saying the conservatives didn't stick to their promises. saying the conservatives didn't stick to their promises . you can stick to their promises. you can trust us, trust us. you know, you can't trust them, so i think i read one commentator that said brexit is one hell of a drug. and i think that's really true here because that is what has destroyed this conservative party, in my opinion . party, in my opinion. >> claire. i mean, you know, it's none of the g7 leaders out there at the moment are having a good time. none of them are popular rulers. none of them are. yeah, none of them are globally, the some of the shelves are empty. we've had the suez canal blocked. we've got the war in the ukraine. what war, yeah, it depends which side of the fence you sit on. that one, the atrocities that are happening in the gaza strip at the moment with the palestinians and israelis on both sides. and you just think this is not just about brexit, amy. i'm sorry. and it's quite a futile thing to say that when you go into that voting booth on thursday, when
1:19 pm
on july the 4th, it's quite daunting. you see all those crosses here. and unless you're in the constituency of, keir starmer or rishi sunak, you actually don't know who to for . actually don't know who to for. vote and that is the whole thing your viewers will know. i've been banging on about voting locally and why mps should be living in the local area, knowing exactly what their constituents and therefore democratically elected electorate wants from them. amy, just very quickly, we are running out of time not to do a brexit at all. >> oh no, of course is look, when when's the last time the pubuc when when's the last time the public opinion was this low since theresa may what was going on there? what was going on there? yeah, but what i'm talking about is the promises made to the electorate, why they voted brexit were not kept. and that's when people started to lose trust with this people. >> people will actually vote against conservatism by voting reform . reform. >> i think that the uprising reform will make us re—examine what the political right in this country looks like. and that's because they did not keep their promises. >> this one later, there's more
1:20 pm
to come on that one. but we're run out of time for now. thank you very much, ladies. right throughout the election campaign, we will be hearing from people across the uk about what really matters to you. today we meet bill green from devon. here's what he has to say. >> hi, my name is bill green. >> hi, my name is bill green. >> i'm a sheep farmer from north devon , i'm in my 70th year and devon, i'm in my 70th year and it's my intention in this time to vote conservative. i am traditionally a tory. i believe in, i believe in, in a freedom to spend as much of your own money as you can whilst helping those that can't look after themselves. i believe in free enterprise. i understand, you know, that we've been through a really difficult period in the last few years, and i think people just need to remember that, you know, they're fed up, you know, they're fed up. things haven't been going well, and they almost want to punish somebody and they want to punish the tory party but i think they might be cutting the nose off to spite their face, because i think they better stick at the moment with the tories. but i feel that the tories, despite all the ups and downs, ins and
1:21 pm
outs personalities, have managed to get to a place where we now do seriously have a plan. the vaccine rollout here was the probably the one of the certainly one of the fastest and one of the most advanced in the world. and it's easy to forget now that the government bought a head, you know, millions of doses of vaccine ahead of many other countries. and the europeans were still arguing about how they were going to do it, so we survived that, you know, who was the first person or the first government to really get behind the ukrainians? we should feel better about it. we should feel proud that we did that. it's not the end of our world. whatever happens, but we need to accept the vote, whatever it is, on whichever side we are. >> interesting views there. indeed for all the best analysis and opinion on that story and more, go to our website at gb news.com. now it's time to escape politics and you really can. it's time for our giveaway , can. it's time for our giveaway, you and your chance to win over £16,000 worth of prizes. that's

1:24 pm
1:25 pm
1:26 pm
are welcome back to gb news sunday with me. dawn neesom on your telly. online and on digital radio. so now you might have seen this. the home secretary has called for a full and urgent explanation after a police car rammed a cow in west london. a warning, the video
1:27 pm
we're about to show you and we've made it a lot less, frightening than the actual footage , is it contains images footage, is it contains images of the injured animal. so you might be upset. the vehicle hit the cow in feltham before knocking it to the ground a second time. as you can see there, surrey police have acknowledged the incident caused distress. as you can see there. i'm sorry if this is upsetting you and confirmed it's been referred to its professional standards department, let's see what my panel make of this. amy, i'm going to come to you first on this one. i mean, i saw this when i got home last night, and i was horrified. it looked it looked horrible. we have tidied the video up there, so we're not showing the full footage. i mean, the cow by the way, is fine. it's safe, it's injured, but it's not dead, which is very surprising when you see the. yeah, it does look. yeah i was alerted to it because i was looking on twitter and james cleverly had issued a statement about this cow. >> and then i thought, okay, i'll just have a look at the
1:28 pm
video. and i watched it with my husband and my husband, who's a bit of an animal lover, particularly an animal lover. he was so shocked. he was like, why did you show me that video? that is awful. yeah, that's just heartbreaking, i think a lot of people have questions. what for? the police. why was there not a taser? why were there not other methods available? and then their explanation was we tried everything we didn't know quite what to do, and we were in a panic. and that's how it came about. >> surrey police is, official apology is a pr straight out of apology is a pr straight out of a pr playbook for me . no a pr playbook for me. no accountability, no timeline , no accountability, no timeline, no reason why the cow was in the middle of the street at that time. who was filming it? and you know, the police. it was not an unmarked small police car. it was, you know, a 4x4 truck that was, you know, a 4x4 truck that was capable of doing a lot of damage. and not only that, but when they hit that calf, the calf went sliding down the road. could have hit anything else and made things worse . yeah. made things worse. yeah. >> it's like, how could you ever come to the decision to do what
1:29 pm
that police officer did? i think that's a lot of people's questions in defence of the people. >> i mean, because, you know, people have been calling for them to lose their jobs. we don't know. we don't know the full story exactly. and they would have been working under the command of a senior officer. you assume and not many police officers can carry firearms. >> you have to have had particular training. we haven't got enough training in the police. you can't do certain things. so maybe they were limited. i do think these out of context clips can be so damaging. >> it was it was filmed by onlookers who said they were shocked and horrified by what they witnessed. becoming police officers, because every move they make is being filmed now, i think it is making their job ten times harder. i mean, it is true they can't do right for doing wrong at the moment though. the police can they? we know there are faults, but you know, people in knee jerk reaction these days of calling for people to lose their jobs when we don't of calling for people to lose theirjobs when we don't know their jobs when we don't know their jobs when we don't know the full story. no, we don't. and that's part of the reason why, that the statement that came out from the chief of police of surrey police, that's why it's angered me so much
1:30 pm
because we don't know the full story. and she said that the police officers have referred themselves to their own policing company, whatever . you know, company, whatever. you know, those that police, the police. but then you think, well, you know, tigers have been lost from woburn. there have been other animals that have escaped. the five horses that escaped from horse guards of the barracks a few weeks ago. i mean, this does happen , thankfully, not very happen, thankfully, not very often, but there should be protocols in place in order to help deal with things. >> it does make me oddly proud to be british. the reaction, though, because it shows how much we adore animals. because. >> right, i'm going to play a slight devil's advocate here because do we care more about animals than we do children in this country? yes. >> do you remember when that footballer kicked the kitten? >> yes, it is west ham page of the newspapers for at least a week, and it does seem something about animal stories capture the nation's attention, arguably more so than things that deserve it. >> and we've already discussed james cleverly, but is there a because this is on social media? if you read this in the local
1:31 pm
newspaper, you know, car hits car, you won't even flinch. it happens. okay. yeah. news in brief. in a local village gazette, because it's on social media. i just want to make sure that everybody was complaining about this and getting really upset about it. doesn't eat meat because we kill 12 million cows in this country to eat. yeah so. >> and was that cow running from a field where it was going to go to a slaughterhouse anyway? but i think it was just the method wasn't it? it was the way the animal was in pain. >> unfortunately, we do have to move on. i'm sorry if you have been upset by that video, but we thought it was you moving on. >> don, i'm moving here. >> don, i'm moving here. >> policing. stop! that's a sacred cow. you can't go there, sorry, i'm dawn neesom mish. gb news sunday. and there's plenty more coming up on today's show. but first, here's the news with the very patient sam. >> very good afternoon to you. it's just after 1:30. the top stories from the newsroom this afternoon. german police have shot a man who was armed with an axe at a euros fan zone in hamburg . officers say the

1:39 pm
academics at liverpool. but last night critics lambasted its recommendation as ideologically dnven recommendation as ideologically driven and divisive. okay brace yourself, this one's going to get heated. claire they are saying that you should be guilty if you're white and heterosexual, not using the long words they use, but that's kind of what they say. yeah, but do you know what history in this country is? more is concerned with more and has lived been has been lived by more white people and more heterosexuals. right and that's the history. i'll tell you something else. don, this is russell group university material here. this is liverpool. it's a really good university. the thing that really got me going apart from this, and i thought it was an i generation of words , thinks generation of words, thinks word, you know, words input into a system to come up with from something. it's ridiculous. the main issue i have is the verb problematise. i've never heard of that before , so they should of that before, so they should be prioritising grammar. let's get first principles back in there. firstly, it's shocking
1:40 pm
9000 £250,000 kids pay to get up with this absolute rubbish. i had to read that out so i feel for me. go on, go on. >> okay, i translate the word right. the word does sound concerning the word sounds. it's misleading . okay, because misleading. okay, because actually i can't even say it. problematise in problem. >> exactly. you can't say it and worry all it is. >> we can all calm down because it's just promoting anti—racism. it's not aiming, it is. it's just bringing the marginalised voices into the discussion. >> so what they're saying is, look at british history through the optic of all perspectives . the optic of all perspectives. >> so let's look at it from the perspective of queer person growing up. let's look at it from the perspective of a somebody from that's not the majority colonies . no. majority colonies. no. >> look, windrush. >> look, windrush. >> definitely windrush. definitely it should be taught as modern history and the absolute disgusting things that happened to the windrush generation. >> but that's got nothing at all to do with this statement from academics in liverpool urging their tutors, urging their
1:41 pm
lecturers to problematise whiteness and heterosexuality . whiteness and heterosexuality. >> i can totally understand that. it sounds scary because it sounded scary to me. i thought, how am i going to handle this? but then when i actually looked at the evidence, it's all about unpacking bias. and you have to admit, there has been a white bias in history. >> no, there hasn't, because the facts from a white perspective, amy, the facts are in history. most people in this country are white and heterosexual, of course, but then there's still. >> so that's the history voices that deserve to be brought into the discussion as much as the dominant voice. >> i get it from an academic perspective. i get it from an academic perspective that we can have revolutionary historical seminars, we can have feminist historical seminars . look at historical seminars. look at judnh historical seminars. look at judith butler and all the rubbish she can spout and gets away with. and, well, i'm not surprised that you do , and i surprised that you do, and i don't i'm not surprised that i don't i'm not surprised that i don't either. >> you know, she's a voice in the conversation. yes. all perspectives make us easier to draw our own conclusions if we don't see everything. but it doesn't because honestly, the tertiary education system in this country is such .
1:42 pm
this country is such. >> it's got such a left wing bias. it's unbelievable . and bias. it's unbelievable. and children, young students are frightened. they are frightened , frightened. they are frightened, amy, to sort out their own opinions in academic seminars that are supposed to be with six kids or ten kids in a room battling out, teasing out, and they're not doing it. >> i think it's about taking into account those voices that you spoke of, but the marginalised voices, so that everybody can have a say and everybody can have a say and everybody can have a say and everybody can have a role in the history and the story because everybody was there is it? it's a bit like in new zealand they didn't use to teach the maori history within the history of new zealand, and then they also started teaching it from a maori perspective. that's decolonising the education, that's decolonising the curriculum. it's not as scary as it sounds. >> it's all criticism from other academics, not me of this is that it academics, not me of this is thatitis academics, not me of this is that it is more divisive than it's setting out to get rid of the divisiveness. >> certainly, the patronising sound divisive. i can totally see that. but when you when you actually unpack what it is and
1:43 pm
it's challenging biases, it's challenging norms , it's challenging norms, it's admitting that, yes, there has been a heterosexual, emphasis because that's fact. >> it's not emphasis because because the majority of people historically in this country were white and were heterosexual. that's the end of are we going to go back to the chitters where the persecuted, the catholics? come on. >> but you were talking about proportional representation in the last segment. this is basically historical proportional representation. everybody >> it's not i think everyone does have a say. i think everyone does have a say, and i think everyone can have a slice of the pie, because a lot of in terms of, gay people's sex back in the 80s of aids, that was an absolutely appalling time that they went through . they ate the they went through. they ate the homosexual population and lesbian population . and it's lesbian population. and it's just historically factual now to move on from that. that is a part of history. it was predominantly white homosexual men that got aids and died from aids proportionally in this country. that's fact .
1:44 pm
country. that's fact. >> that's historic fact about that, that history we have heard about it, the lens of a minority through the lens of a of a of a gay man from a bisexual man, from a black man. like that's all decolonising the curriculum is, is hearing all sides of the i think surely we @gbnews love. we celebrate that that's what we do. >> we do. but we're not telling anybody. it's bad to be white or it's bad to be exactly. >> that is not what amy. >> that is not what amy. >> it is. >> it is. >> it is any case, yes. the lectures are also meant to be held in safe spaces, because, of course they are. can be triggering, as we've just discovered. in any case, a university of liverpool spokesman said we are absolutely committed to an inclusive experience for all our students. reviewing our curricula to ensure content is reflective of culture, historical and social context is an important part of this commitment. following recent fruitful and positive conversations with our history department about decolonise the curriculum, a 2020 audit was circulated to colleagues to
1:45 pm
prompt further thought and discussion . khalife gosh, they discussion. khalife gosh, they use a lot of long words up there, don't they? well, it is a university, in any case, i'm dawn neesom not using long words. this is gb news sunday and there's loads more coming up on today's show. now, a new. you're gonna love this one as well. a new survey from betfair has revealed that 65% of scots that direction refused to cheer on england, but 60% of english football fans will support scotland . eek! this is going to scotland. eek! this is going to get heated. all of that and much more to come. this is gb news, britain's news channel and really don't want go go too far for this

stages as they focus on their opener against serbia tonight. joining me now is our reporter will hollis at a fan zone i believe will. good afternoon. what's going on. where we are . what's going on. where we are. >> yes. well all eyes are on germany right now but it's in pubs and bars like the duke of cambridge here in mapperley, nottingham , where the real nottingham, where the real people are cheering on england and scotland in some games and celebrating the euros. a tournament that brings people together as well as sometimes can tear communities apart. this is one very well decorated pub here in the east midlands. beer sales are expected to skyrocket dunng sales are expected to skyrocket during this period. the group stages alone, the uk hospitality estimates, will be worth £340 million to the coffers of bars and pubs . now that's guaranteed and pubs. now that's guaranteed though. but if england get all the way to the end, £800 million will be pumped into our hospital hospitality sector, which we know the industry is desperate
1:50 pm
for . while there is a lot of for. while there is a lot of excitement, this can bring communities together massively. in some instances it can cause a few problems. here at the duke of cambridge in nottingham , of cambridge in nottingham, somebody stole a giant inflatable ball which is worth about £1,000. two masked men came in the middle of the night. they've reported it to the police, and police say they'll investigate, but it shows that while there are some people willing to enjoy the tournament, get behind the community spirit and celebrate england, some people are just looking to make a quick buck. so the people here say that they'll offer free food and drinks to anybody who can track down that giant inflatable football . football. >> oh, that sounds good fun. will hollis there. thank you very much . without fans, i'm very much. without fans, i'm ready for tonight's game. now we're sticking with the subject of football. a new survey from betfair has revealed that 65% of scots refused to cheer on england. i have a scottish person with me who's sniggering
1:51 pm
already, but 60% of english football fans will support scotland and, let's see what my panel make of this. scotland and, let's see what my panel make of this . should we go panel make of this. should we go to the token scottish person on the panel first? tokenism. go on. tokenism i've been i've been described as many things, but a token for scottishness has never been one of them. look, i've got four english kids. they were all born in england , i live in born in england, i live in england. i've lived in england most of my life , actually. most of my life, actually. however, i do support england when they play . if it's not, if when they play. if it's not, if it's scotland, england, i will support scotland. but if england are playing, i support them. they're a home nation, just like i would support wales if they were playing as well, you know? so it's that kind of thing. but you mentioned betfred was it. that was the betting. yeah. well betfair paddy power do the most brilliant adverts ever and they've got a scot in their latest one. have you seen it amy. yeah. the guy wakes up and says oh my god i had a nightmare that england won the world cup. and then it's almost as if, oh ,
1:52 pm
and then it's almost as if, oh, scotland have actually qualified. it's so funny. like the irn—bru adverts as well. we have got an amazing sense of humour. i mean, look at the result on friday. that was quite comedic, was it not? wasn't five one and our only goal was actually an own goal? yes. from germany. come on. do we want to dwell on that? >> i was watching the game obviously, and so good luck if you want to support utter rubbish like that, like 200,000 scots travelled to go and watch that game. >> amy, my nephew was one of them, excited. my nephew was one of them. they don't get out much. sorry, sorry. yeah, because they can't go off. they can't get through the border. well that hadrian's wall, sturgeon's built it back up. you know, some of my best friends are scottish, and i am one of those fans that i know i'm not meant to, that i support scotland. yes, i suppose, yes. the british side. yes. it's the home nation. >> i mean, i don't really watch much football. so this is me trying to rouse some emotion about football, but i think when it comes down to it, i would
1:53 pm
support any of the uk countries because thank you. got more of a chance of winning. >> but that's but that's why as well. >> but i know there's a long established rivalry between scotland and england. >> yes. and isn't it a bit of a is a bit of a running joke that we will support scotland more than scotland will support us? yes. yeah, well, it's a fact. >> no, it's, you know, it's fact. >> but is that, is that a comment about the feelings between us generally or is this stuck to. >> well you think you need to fit into this one. but maybe scottish independence i think you need to bring you're not are you, for scottish independence, amy? no, but i shall be shot. >> this shortbread saying it right down right now. right here. >> i just think maybe that's that's feeding into this story somewhere. >> no, i don't think that. no scotland. honestly, i don't think that, breeds into the or falls into the narrative at all about supporting a whole nation . about supporting a whole nation. i think it's jocular fun. you know, it's a good old fashioned argy bargy, as it should be, having a laugh. it's like the i watched fisherman's friends last
1:54 pm
night , that film based in night, that film based in cornwall, and it was just fantastic. it was like padstow, port isaac, people getting together good old argy bargy. but equally we have brains . we but equally we have brains. we have to move on from that. thank you very much. it's gb news sunday, lots more coming up on stage show, but let's check out what the weather's doing out there for you with honour. here she is. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello and welcome to your gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. well, after quite a showery weekend, we can expect to see some drier weather from midweek onwards , weather from midweek onwards, but those temperatures are going to remain around average. but for this weekend we've had an area of low pressure which has been dominating the weather, bringing plenty of rain and showers. and it's this low pressure which is dragging down this area of rain through into northern england overnight. it could be a little bit heavy at times too, but generally clearing across parts of
1:55 pm
scotland where we may see the odd clear spell. but the driest of the weather is going to be across central and southern england. plenty of clear spells and that's where it's going to feel a little bit cooler too. but generally elsewhere, plenty of cloud around, which is keeping those temperatures up and means another mild night on offer now through into monday morning across the south. that is where it's going to be drier. so we will start to see plenty of sunshine by the time the sun comes up and that mist and fog generally clearing quite quickly as it does so elsewhere. largely cloudy, but the rain and drizzle generally easing and turning quite patchy. the all clear spell with some sunshine breaking through around the scottish borders but elsewhere across scotland plenty of cloud and still with outbreaks of rain and still with outbreaks of rain and drizzle. and then through the course of monday , is the course of monday, is generally going to be quite an unsettled picture. plenty of sunny spells and showers, quite a changeable day. one minute it will be dry and the next minute you'll catch a heavy downpour, perhaps even a little bit thundery. at times the best of the weather is going to be across the south and southeast, where we'll see plenty of dry
1:56 pm
weather, plenty of sunshine and that's where we're going to catch the highest temperatures to highs of around 22, maybe even 23 celsius. if we see the sun shine for long enough , then sun shine for long enough, then through into the evening we are going to continue to see plenty of showers spread their way across the country. once again, staying driest for longest in the south and southeast may even see further mist and fog overnight. two heavy showers expected again on tuesday, but likely to see some drier and even sunnier weather from midweek onwards. but those temperatures remaining around average looks like things are heating up boxt boilers as sponsors of weather on . gb news. sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> for football to do, thank you very much. >> honour and there's lots more coming up on today's really packed show. so you don't want to be going anywhere now. this is another cracker, a town in america is being sued for being racist. wait for it against its non—black residents. stay tuned to find out what that one's all about. it's really intriguing.

2:04 pm
seven seats. transport secretary mark harper told us the conservatives, though, are still up for the fight. >> nobody's voted in this election yet and we also know from the polls if we're going to quote them, a record number of people i think 44% of the electorate haven't yet made up their minds about who they're going to vote for. it's exactly the reason why we come on shows like yours to make the case about a conservative government with the programme that we've set out for lower taxes, dealing with migration in a fully costed programme for government elsewhere on the campaign trail today, health is on the forefront of the labour and liberal democrats election campaigning, after accusing the conservatives of creating a crisis in cancer care, sir keir starmer is promising to cut cancer waiting lists to double ct and mri scanners, and to provide 40,000 extra appointments in the nhs each week . week. >> meanwhile, the liberal democrats are proposing a £1 billion boost for radiotherapy equipment, adding 200 machines

2:06 pm
out , the path will be open for out, the path will be open for the second peace summit and thus for ending this war for a just and lasting peace . and lasting peace. >> and in more international news, israel's announcement that it will hold so—called tactical pauses in its military offensive in southern gaza has been described by some as delusional. itamar ben—gvir, a member of the israeli war cabinet, says the army didn't seek any approval for the plans before announcing them. the break is expected to begin in rafah , with activity begin in rafah, with activity paused for 11 hours every day to allow for an increase in humanitarian aid. it's understood those efforts are being coordinated with united nafions being coordinated with united nations and other international aid agencies , and kensington aid agencies, and kensington palace has released a new photograph of prince william and his three children to mark father's day. this photo here you can see on your screens, was taken by princess catherine in norfolk last month and has been shared with a special message from prince george, princess

2:08 pm
in hamburg. the suspect is reportedly being treated for injuries. i'm a joined now by former scotland yard detective peter bleksley, peter, thank you for joining us this afternoon. this is shocking news at what so far has been a very peaceful and happy tournament, what do you make of what you've been hearing today about this attack ? today about this attack? >> well, unfortunately, crowds of people often attract the mad, the bad, the dangerous and the deranged who want to carry out acts of violence against entirely innocent people. the german police and authorities will will have been well aware of this. and on very high alert it would appear that this situation has been dealt with pretty efficiently. but of course, there is a renewed warning to go out to law enforcement. the length and breadth of the world basically, that during summer, with so many popular events, be it sporting music, any kind of event where
2:09 pm
large crowds are gathered, some people sometimes will go there with the intention of causing harm. >> peter, we don't know the background to this, whether it was terrorism or what. yet the full circumstances are. but how difficult have you been on the front line? how difficult is it, as a police officer to maintain safety for a large crowd of people? but also, you know, make sure that they have a good time ? sure that they have a good time? >> yeah. the bottom line is there is no such thing as absolute security. it is an absolute security. it is an absolute impossibility to keep everybody 100% safe all of the time. but of course, there is an awful lot that can be done in to order try and mitigate any risk. and i think the germans have done that here. it would appear that there were substantial numbers of law enforcement officers available to deal with this matter fairly , robustly and this matter fairly, robustly and fairly quickly, and so often the
2:10 pm
case is you need a lot of police and you need a lot of security staff, because the more eyes and ears you have got on absolute red alert, then the more likelihood of some situation being controlled promptly professionally, thereby minimising any damage or risk to life. is most likely. >> peter, thank you very much for bringing us up to date on that continuing story, and we just hope that everybody has a safe rest of the tournament. that's peter bleksley former scotland yard detective there. thank you very much for joining us this afternoon. now now labour and the conservatives will both leave the nhs with lower spending increases than dunng lower spending increases than during the years of tory austerity. the assessment by the very respected nuffield trust of the cost of nhs policies of both main parties , announced in their main parties, announced in their manifestos last week, says the level of funding increases would leave them struggling to pay existing staff costs , let alone existing staff costs, let alone the bill for massive planned
2:11 pm
increases in doctors, nurses and other staff in the long term workforce plan that was agreed last year. joining me now is gb news deputy political editor, tom harwood. tom thank you very much for joining tom harwood. tom thank you very much forjoining us again this much for joining us again this afternoon. and, tom, this, this isn't it. what we all kind of expected that, you know, lots of promises in the run up to the election. but how are they going to afford it. doesn't seem like they're going to be able to does it. >> well, exactly. and this is what the nuffield trust has been saying. the numbers just don't add up in either of the main parties manifestos. we know we've got an ageing population demands on the health care service are growing and growing and frankly the paltry amount of money that both parties have committed to putting into the nhs won't plug the hole. now, some people will say that obviously the nhs could spend the money more wisely, that it's not a particularly efficient system, but under. but after all, unless these parties are going to pledge to scrap the
2:12 pm
system entirely, which neither of them are, this leaves a bit of them are, this leaves a bit of a hole. the nuffield trust say that it needs 3% real terms spending increases each year, but perhaps what's even more interesting is what the shadow health secretary, wes streeting , health secretary, wes streeting, said this morning in response to this statement from the nuffield trust, which is of course, is a very respected think tank. here's the words of wes streeting , the shadow health streeting, the shadow health secretary. he says where i disagree with the nuffield trust is that is the assumption they are making , that this manifesto are making, that this manifesto is the grand sum total of any future budgets and any future spending reviews . and that's spending reviews. and that's just wrong. that's not the way election campaigns work, which is a remarkable quote from the shadow health secretary, because he's saying, well , there might he's saying, well, there might be lots of spending that the labour party might do. that's not in the manifesto. and how would that spending be funded? well, either they're going to
2:13 pm
have some growth miracle, some magic money tree or taxes will rise. and it's interesting because the labour party has been put under pressure, particularly on a host of taxes, whether it's fuel duty or taxes on investment like capital gains tax and interestingly, i spotted the labour campaign manager , the labour campaign manager, morgan mcsweeney. he's the guy the power behind the throne of sir keir starmer. he's running the whole show. well, yesterday on the website linkedin, he liked a post from a labour activist suggesting that labour should double capital gains tax to raise £15 billion. well, when he was challenged on this, he said it was a mistake and removed the like. but that doubung removed the like. but that doubling of capital gains tax is something that the labour party used to talk a lot about. rachel reeves put it in speeches back in 2021. huge, huge questions over what massive tax rises may be in store despite . right. be in store despite. right. what's in the manifesto indeed.
2:14 pm
>> that's a very interesting line. i read that with great interest myself this morning. tom. yeah. when we say we're going to do this, we don't really quite mean it's more of an ambition, a plan, but not a definite plan. tom harwood. thank you very much for explaining how we're being told a lot of promises, but the reality might be different, let's see what my panel make of this one. still have the lovely claire and amy with me. claire coming to you on this one. i mean, i read this with great interest. and then, as tom pointed out, listen to wes streeting trying to get round it somehow . so i streeting trying to get round it somehow. so i mean, that nom nom nom nom nom tax, it's got to pay for a lot of stuff isn't it? well, if they can get it, i mean that i mean that's the thing. but look the nhs is on its knees. we've known it for years. we know that any increase in real terms, that it will not do any, any to good it because they are mostly now funded than they've been at all since the nye bevan set the nhs up . it's nye bevan set the nhs up. it's incredible. and to think that even the increases that both manifesto for labour and the
2:15 pm
conservatives have shown that they will not even be able to pay they will not even be able to pay for staff costs. well, i'll tell you, let's start by stopping the dye costs at £125,000. for some nhs trusts . £125,000. for some nhs trusts. let's start by procuring the drugs for the nhs from one place. did you know that every single trust has got different relationships with farmers? pay different prices to deliver the same service to us? shocking. and something else that, you know, stop the ivf and stop the menu that we've got in this country for the nhs, where you can pick and choose. you google your ailment, you present for your ailment, you present for your first primary carer to your gp and then the ball has to be set and set rolling. it's ridiculous . set and set rolling. it's ridiculous. it's i mean honestly, it's just not fit for purpose, is it? we need to do something. >> i agree, but i'm not sure that claire's idea of where we can make savings are the right places to make savings and increase efficiency, because dni well, that would be like hundreds of thousands would be
2:16 pm
like £1 million a year. so it's a drop in the fiscal ocean, i would say. >> well, there's more. >> well, there's more. >> there's more than ten di officers. >> there is an argument that labour have put forward about preventative health care, rather than treating a sick nation, but focusing on prevention, you know, the talk of more scanners, more, the teeth cleaning in schools, actually, because it's abhorrent , amy, that's down to abhorrent, amy, that's down to parental responsibility, not teaching staff that have got degrees that have studied for years to become teachers. the fact is that a child cleaning their teeth at school, that could save them from going to a hospital appointment, hospital appointments costs on average £400. a gp appointment costs £40. so i'm just looking at places they could save. also, this talk of capital gains tax, right? hardly anyone pays capital gains tax. it should surely be fair to be in line with income tax. so the fact that a nurse pays percentagewise more tax on her income than rishi sunak does on his wealth, surely vie capital gains is an
2:17 pm
easy way to raise more revenue for the state to spend on things like the nhs? i don't think that's unfair. i think when you hear tax rises, you imagine you're talking about working people . but when you look at people. but when you look at something like capital gains or something like capital gains or something like capital gains or something like we have 171 billionaires, let's tax just the interest they make every year. >> and then but that is that is taxed, that interest is taxed . taxed, that interest is taxed. >> it wouldn't even touch the amount of money that they've got i >> -- >> the -_ >> the nhs hm >> the nhs isn't fit for purpose interest. the nhs is not fit for purpose. seeing people as much as it hates me, i hate saying it, but it's really not. >> it's absolutely on its knees. it is a fantastic, wonderful thing, right? but ask yourself if where else in the in the globe, what which other country actually adopts the same principles ? not one. principles? not one. >> but i think it's an amazing principle that makes us stand out worldwide, as it was when first form of use. yes, a fantastic thing to hang to . on fantastic thing to hang to. on and that's why we're so proud of
2:18 pm
our nhs. however, we don't focus . we really don't focus on preventative health care, which means that our nhs is overused. and like i said, a hospital appointment is ten times the amount of cost and yet we still want them. >> so labour and yet we still go to google and google are symptoms and say when we present with our first port of call at the gp, i've got x, y and z. >> there's something wrong with me. what do they do? they have to refer, they have to refer and then the clock starts ticking and the appointment service for nhs appointments is absolutely not fit for purpose either. it's completely ridiculous. i would urge all the big four companies that kpmg, deloitte and all the other big accountancy firms to actually go in as part of their charitable execution and renew and start from first principles. the it systems, the it infrastructure in the nhs, because at the moment it's clunky, it's luddite and it's not fit for purpose . not fit for purpose. >> sending paper letters, not emails. that's just they still they do both. >> they still actually use they
2:19 pm
do both fax machines. >> but what about the covid corruption bill? we've got a 7 billion. we could recoup their agree for that. >> i think everyone would agree. that does need looking at. thank you very much. we are running out of time. but for all the best analysis and opinion on that story, go to our website which is gb news. com now it's time for our giveaway and your chance to win over £16,000 worth of prizes. that's £15,000 cash and a whole host of summer treats. it could all be yours, but you've got to be in it to win it. as the saying goes, here's all the details you need. >> there's still time to win our summer spectacular with an incredible trio of treats, and you could win them first. there's a fabulous £15,000 in tax free cash to ensure this summer is special. what would you spend that on next? you'll also receive the latest iphone 15 and a set of apple airpods. and finally , £500 to spend at and finally, £500 to spend at your favourite uk attraction for another chance to win the iphone

2:22 pm
2:23 pm

soon. >> this is gb news and we are britain's election channel. >> this vote may seem to be about the politicians in the media, but actually, it's about you. >> and we won't forget that. >> and we won't forget that. >> join us up and down the country as we follow every moment together. >> more than ever , it's >> more than ever, it's important to hear all sides as you make your decision ahead of polling day. >> we're here for you. >> we're here for you. >> this is gb news the people's channel >> this is gb news the people's channel, britain's election . channel. >> welcome back to gb news thunder with me. dawn neesom on your telly, online and on digital radio. now we've got a cracker for you, a town in america is being sued for being racist against its non—black residents. three years ago, the
2:25 pm
small town of evanston proudly became the first local government in the. it's just outside chicago, by the way , the outside chicago, by the way, the first local government in the us to start paying slavery reparations to its black citizens in this case, technically to atone for decades of institutional racism and local housing. but now the council is being sued in a federal court for exhibiting exactly the sort of prejudice it decnes exactly the sort of prejudice it decries by saying, well, basically, you know, the hispanics, the white people , hispanics, the white people, they are being discriminated against because they're not getting anything . amy, i'm going getting anything. amy, i'm going to take a punt at which side of this line you're going to come down on. but go on, thrill me. what do you reckon this is? madness isn't it? >> so this particular town, it's just outside chicago, isn't it? >> it is a suburb of chicago. >> it is a suburb of chicago. >> it is a suburb of chicago. >> it looks very nice. >> it looks very nice. >> the people that were compensated were adults. that people that were adults between 1919 and 1969. now they lived under a time of segregation. so policies affecting solely african american citizens , which african american citizens, which included redlining, they weren't
2:26 pm
allowed mortgages living under segregation in terms of health care, in terms of education, in terms of the job market. they were literally barred from having certain jobs, going to certain health care clinics and going to certain schools. so thatis going to certain schools. so that is a set of very distinct challenges that a white people, hispanic people, asian people did not face. so that is precisely why they have been compensated in this way. and i think it's about £20,000. it works out to i would have given them a lot more. >> okay . >> okay. >> okay. >> how much would you give the people in belfast? amy both white, but some catholic and some protestant . some protestant. >> are you talking about incense that working class people didn't have the same? >> it wasn't working class. >> it wasn't working class. >> it was catholics that were all catholics. >> yep. well, i would probably compensate them in the same way. >> well, you see, the thing is history. >> we learn from history and we move on and people evolve. and in order to reach a certain goal and a certain level of parity, which is what we all want to do. and through no way of levelling up.and
2:27 pm
and through no way of levelling up. and this is a form of levelling up by the way. it's nothing else, and it's divisive andifs nothing else, and it's divisive and it's patronising, i think it's absolutely disgusting. >> no, i really, really do. the policies the way the irish were treated when they came over to england, the way that catholics have been treated in ireland, in northern ireland and the way that some protestants have been treated, and i'm not elevating any terms of terrorism here because i do not condone that whatsoever. >> but there were people in modern history who were discriminated against constantly, and i think it's so divisive to keep going back, to keep reiterating, to keep saying, oh, poor you . between saying, oh, poor you. between 1919 and 1969, you couldn't get a mortgage. well, that was wrong. no one saying it was right. but do we need to be compensated for that? do we need to level up in that way to make parity instead of realising it was a mistake to get the facts together and then move on cohesively with parity and
2:28 pm
without disparity, and let's live our lives . come on, life is live our lives. come on, life is too damn short. >> but that's all those arguments would be. why i would say this is fair, because if there has been a wrong, then surely we need to have retribution for that. and that's exactly what this is. it's a it's a case of a small amount of money to say, here's your opportunity to have an equal playing field, which obviously between these years . between these years. >> why? why? >> why? why? >> because the past affects the status quo today. >> so if this is a wrong committed on on your family in this particular in this particular area, the legal challenge is saying that this is creating more divisions. >> yes , the past is affecting >> yes, the past is affecting the present, but not in a good way. but then i think those people must be surely ignorant to what these policies were and who they directly affected, because they only affected the african americans living in this town. >> so if there is an opportunity to allow these people to now level up where they were pushed down, why would we put it that
2:29 pm
way? >> but financial compensation surely will not will not be a compromise or will not be a payment to offset what's happened, you need to have the discussion and move on. >> i think. >> i think. >> i think it's patronising and i think it is truly divisive and it's a form of bye bye writing that wrong. >> and if you have the opportunity to do that, why fiscally? >> why is it always down to money? at the end of the day, why are people morals? no it's not, no it's not when you're talking about levelling up you have to talk about justice. you have to talk about justice. you have to talk about justice. you have to talk about virtues, and you have to talk about people being able to do the things that everyone has right to shelter, right to work, right to mortgages, right to education. because if it's money, it's based in poverty. and the way out of poverty is education. >> but that's exactly why they're in poverty. because of this situation . this situation. >> there's lots of people in the us in poverty, 1 in 4 children in hounslow, local authority in
2:30 pm
west london, are living in poverty. >> if we zoom out to look at reparations as a whole, i think that the fact that the slave owners were compensated up until 2010, which meant that families of the descendants of slaves were paying to compensate the slave owners until 2010. surely the same principles should be appued the same principles should be applied to the actual. >> so what would you say to i mean, this this, you know, this comes the money comes from taxes. so the, the poorer hispanic and white and asian communities in this are paying for something that they had nothing to do with where these taxes were drawn from. >> because that's what makes this story quite interesting. from the legal marijuana shops and properties , over 1.5 million and properties, over 1.5 million in that local, very wealthy area from that local town. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so it's a very wealthy area, brilliant way of levelling up. well, it is a very wealthy area. so i mean, a lot of properties are in that bracket, but there are in that bracket, but there are local people paying taxes, whether buying cannabis or selling their houses, who are paying selling their houses, who are paying for something they had nothing. is that area traditionally democratic or republican? that would be quite
2:31 pm
an interesting optic to the argument that they had nothing to do with. >> it stands up this time because it's between 1919 and 1969. well, the people paying their taxes had nothing to do with it. they were they were there. they could have been working. they would have been having the education, having the health care. they were there. and now they can right the wrong of their community, right. >> it'sjust of their community, right. >> it's just social justice. >> it's just social justice. >> okay. well, let us know what you think of that one. alright. i'm dawn neesom, this is gb news sunday and there's loads more coming up on today's show. but first here is the news with sam. >> dawn, thank you very much. just after 2:30, the top stories this afternoon, german police have shot a man who was armed with an axe at a euros fan zone in hamburg. these pictures came to us earlier. officers say the suspect was also carrying an incendiary device. a major police operation still underway in the city where the incident happened. that was in the
2:32 pm
district of saint pauli. during a supporters parade . netherlands a supporters parade. netherlands are playing poland in the city this afternoon and we understand the attacker is now reportedly being treated for his injuries. labour insists it's taking nothing for granted when it comes to opinion polls ahead of next month's general election. one, published in the times newspaper, suggests sir keir starmer could secure a landslide win with 456 seats, compared to just 72 for the tories under rishi sunaks leadership, which would be their lowest ever vote share . health is at the share. health is at the forefront of the labour and liberal democrats election campaigning today, after accusing the conservatives of creating what they've called a crisis in cancer care, sir keir starmer is promising to cut waiting lists to double ct and mri scanners and provide 40,000 extra appointments each week . extra appointments each week. meanwhile, the lib dems are proposing a £1 billion boost for radiotherapy equipment, which would add 200 machines to cut

2:36 pm
2:37 pm
2:38 pm
soon. >> it's midday. good afternoon . >> it's midday. good afternoon. >> it's midday. good afternoon. >> britain, your lunchtime update on the stories that matter across the uk. >> from breaking news and insightful analysis to inspiring
2:39 pm
stories and lively debates comparing yourself to a former prime minister, which is it? >> stay informed, stay updated. stay entertained . i just don't stay entertained. i just don't know how anyone would not want to be there every weekday from midday we are good afternoon britain only on gb news, britain's news channel . britain's news channel. welcome back to gb news sunday with me. dawn neesom on your telly, onune dawn neesom on your telly, online and digital radio. now the number. there's another debate. these two are just drive me mad in here, on father's day, as well. hope you're having a good time out there now. the number of children attending private schools in england has risen, despite claims that families are being priced out by labour's plan to add vat onto the school fees. huge debate. we can't avoid it, can we? the independent schools council said last month that pupil numbers had actually fallen, a sign, they said, that schools were
2:40 pm
already starting to see the impact of vat looming on the horizon. but official department for education data published last week shows that the number of pupils in independent schools in england has actually rising. let's see what my panel . i know let's see what my panel. i know what they make of this. i'm just i'm just going to put my helmet on and just hide under there. amy, we're going to come to you first on this one. amy, stop looking at me like that, okay? amy, what do you reckon to this? i mean, you know, so i mean, surprise, surprise me. >> this statistic because as i said earlier, inequality has been rising and standards, apart from the best readers in the world, in state schools, have been falling. so if i had money, i think one of the first things you would probably do is send your child to private school, because the 93% of children attending state schools at the moment, the state schools are understaffed, left. they're crumbling. we're lucky if they're standing at this point. so it doesn't surprise me that more people have been sending their children to private and independent schools. also, since 2010, the fees have gone up by
2:41 pm
50% in real terms, not in time, not in time with the with inflation. that's after inflation, so i've thought for a while it was a bit of a nonsense to say there was going to be this mass exodus. and indeed the numbers that were being bandied around the press, about 40,000 children having to leave the research was not done in consultation with the parents. so the research has been deemed inaccurate. anyway, but i don't really like this policy. i don't i think it's created this culture unnecessarily, it's all anyone can talk about . and i anyone can talk about. and i think they could have raised the revenue in a lot more , more of revenue in a lot more, more of an effective way, such as what we're talking about earlier capital gains tax, but i equally want to dismantle any misconceptions about the policy. but that doesn't mean i'm a massive fan of the policy. okay. >> the problem i have with this particular story is the figures are outdated. they refer to statistics . before labour statistics. before labour announced their plans to impose vat on private schools. so
2:42 pm
there's been a fiscal drag. elegant. yeah. there really has been. and whilst full disclosure , all my children went to state schools extremely high performing state schools in west of london. but my son went to an exclusive private boarding school for sixth form under the guise of his rugby prowess. it was the best thing for him to do and as a parent you have to enable the best things you can possibly do for your children. i always said to them, i will get you to where you want to be when you're 18. that you to where you want to be when you're18. that is my you to where you want to be when you're 18. that is my duty. at 18, you become an adult. you must vote. and then if you want to go down the tertiary education route, i can get you there too. i will help support you. i will help guide you. i will help you get there. my third daughter is graduating in july of next year from leeds in ancient history and philosophy . ancient history and philosophy. >> and i did philosophy uni of uni of well, thank god she
2:43 pm
doesn't. >> she's not aligned with your politics, amy. >> that's all i can say. no, most dearly . most dearly. >> she is not radicalised at leeds university. >> i think you sound as if you've actually written the policy for liverpool at the moment anyway. anyway the reality is on these figures there has been some element of fiscal drag. there's 2000 extra added on. that's all we're talking about. 2000 pupils, and we need to include the fact that some private, private schools have closed down over this penod have closed down over this period as well. >> but why is that? because that could be because it's a lot of things. >> it's a lot brexit tory austerity. no, no not brexit. >> because the international kids are still coming through. because the fact is if parents want the best for the best education for the children, that they want the best for their children, as i've just said in my opener, then they will move mountains to do it and can i just say that the likes of eton have actually become more exclusive than when it were, when it was a public school 30 years ago, when professionals
2:44 pm
sent their children there. if they passed the exams, they weren't rolling in money, they weren't rolling in money, they weren't landowners, they weren't russian oligarchs . they weren't russian oligarchs. they weren't they were working people who are paying they were working people who are paying tax. and what we need to realise is everyone that pays tax in this country , everyone tax in this country, everyone that pays tax in this country and sends their child to public school or private school, they're still paying for the state system. >> oh come on, you can't say that though . that though. >> oh, but that's fine. i can say him because it's fact. >> you know, i didn't have a massive fire today, so i'm saving the nhs money. >> oh, did you have a satellite dish? >> i didn't have a satellite dish. >> ten big bucks today, so i'm saving. >> my father wasn't a toolmaker. we all pay towards services that we don't use. >> childless people still pay towards the state system. you cannot say that people who send their children to private school renters still pay for people to have homes. we pay vat on things like toothpaste, toothbrushes. they're not considered , they're not considered, necessary things. so why would we pay vat on private schools? i
2:45 pm
think it's strange that that that we don't pay vat on private schools. yeah, that's what we're going to add the vat. >> no, because you know what businesses as public schools are in private schools are will be able to offset that 20% vat because it'll be a business cost. >> so again, it's down to the parents that are working hard that are trying to aspire . what that are trying to aspire. what you're doing is killing aspiration and killing social mobility. >> most estimates have said that. >> cheers. this is a great sunday. >> will probably only go up about 10% anyway because of things like offsetting the vat because of the fact that they've put their feeds. so much up since 2010 that they're already they haven't . they haven't. >> i mean, in the they haven't and they've still got a great charitable aspect as well. >> i hate that this is so not true. >> okay. it is true. unfortunately, in my town they say, oh, we have all these playing fields. >> you've taken over half the town. >> they were so no, the state system sold off the grounds and they shouldn't have done under a labour management.
2:46 pm
>> you cannot say private schools are charity. >> in any case, they are exclude 93% of people. >> they don't exclude . >> they don't exclude. >> they don't exclude. >> they don't exclude. >> they will exclude anyone that's willing to pay. >> also, they're really selective. so have you finished? >> god almighty . >> god almighty. >> god almighty. >> i'll agree with you. it will affect the eatings, the harrows, all that more unfair, right? >> any case, i'm still dawn neesom . i might, i might have neesom. i might, i might have forgotten, but i am still dawn neesom. and this is gb news. and there's loads more coming up on today's show. it's father's day and dad's up and down the country. have been enjoying breakfast in bed and opening their gifts with their families. we'll be celebrating our dads in just a moment, so stay tuned. all of that and much more to come. this is gb news, britain's news channel
