teenager was found in the village of carlton in lindrick. a 28 year old woman has also been arrested. that's on suspicion of assisting an offender. detectives now asking any members of the public with any members of the public with any information, including those who may have any cctv or dash cam footage, to come forward. we will keep across that for you . will keep across that for you. bung will keep across that for you. bring you any more details as we get it . meanwhile, police in get it. meanwhile, police in germany have arrested at least seven serbian football fans tonight in the city of gelsenkirchen after clashes with england supporters. riot police were seen moving to in separate the groups after fighting broke out ahead of tonight's euro 2024 game. that's the opening fixture of the tournament for both teams. officials say there is an exuberant atmosphere around the stadium where the game is currently underway. however, it's been classed as a high risk event by authorities because of concerns over potential violence. meanwhile, here in the uk, supporters across the

country and live pictures here from the fan park in wembley, where many have gathered in their hundreds, some with well, very confident score predictions ranging up to 15 nil to england, perhaps slightly exaggerated. currently, england are leading one nil as we head into the second half. well just hours earlier, police shot a man in hamburg ahead of another euros match. this was the moment that shots were fired at the attacker, who was armed with an axe . officers say the suspect axe. officers say the suspect was also carrying a molotov cocktail, which he tried to light before approaching several people, including police. we now know the attacker is being treated for his injuries. former police sergeant harry tangier told us earlier. security across germany is tight during the tournament and that authorities are well prepared. >> 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 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. 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 public or other officers at risk? >> in other news tonight, detectives have named the man that they want to find in connection with a fatal hit and run in coventry on friday. dallas alexander's, who's 21, is wanted on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. 12 year old keiton slater was hit by a black bmw just after 4:30 on friday afternoon. police now urging anyone with information to come forward . the police to come forward. the police officer who rammed an escaped cow in surrey has been removed

from front line duties while an investigation takes place. the ten month old calf, who's now back with her owners, was running loose in staines on friday night when she was struck by the vehicle. police say they have also referred the incident to the independent office for police conduct international news, and 80 countries have called for any peace deal between moscow and kyiv to be based on the territorial integrity of ukraine. today's joint statement is the result of a two day peace conference in switzerland. the final declaration calls for nuclear plants and ports to be secured under ukraine's control, and for food not to be weaponized , and food not to be weaponized, and for all prisoners of war to be released. well president volodymyr zelenskyy said earlier that he is now hoping for quick results and we don't have time for prolonged work moving to peace means acting fast. >> preparations will take months, not years, so when the

action plans for peace are ready and when every step is worked 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. >> those are the headlines. your next update from the newsroom at 10:00. in the meantime, you can sign up to gb news alerts. just scan the code on your screen or go to gb news. com slash alerts. now though, it's back to . mark. now though, it's back to. mark. >> thank you sam. welcome to a busy mark dolan tonight and well done to england who are a goal up princess catherine's return. my up princess catherine's return. my verdict in just one hour. in my take at ten. you won't want to miss it, but first, my big opinion. whoever thinks that the so—called culture wars are trivial or even imaginary, think again . first of all, what are

again. first of all, what are the culture wars ? well, it's an the culture wars? well, it's an ongoing battle over the values of this country. freedom of speech. the definition of a woman, the perception of our history, race relations , the history, race relations, the importance of merit, hard work and self responsibility, and much more. besides there shouldn't be a battle over the values of this country because they are permanent and are what define us. oh, what about you ? define us. oh, what about you? but i don't change my values every ten minutes. they were established in my childhood by my family, friends and teachers and further shaped by my life experience. and over the years, whilst i've changed my opinions about a few things when presented with new evidence, where is the brexit disaster, for example? i haven't changed my mind about what is fundamentally important . for fundamentally important. for example, the freedom to say and

express what you think without fear of the consequences. the idea that merit should be above box ticking, that our society should be colour—blind, that we should be colour—blind, that we should have equality of opportunity but not equality of outcome . that we understand that outcome. that we understand that men and women are different and that women should keep their hard won sex based rights. there shouldn't be a one sided, damning interpretation of our history, given the fact that we gave the world parliamentary democracy, the modern market economy, and we ended slavery . economy, and we ended slavery. now progressives who are stoking and frankly are behind the culture wars whilst at the same time telling you that they're not happening. love to paint a picture of britain as some kind of intolerant hellhole worthy of mississippi in the 1950s, when the truth is that the uk is arguably the most tolerant, diverse, open and well

integrated society in the world. so there are forces at play to eat away at the fundamental principle which define our very successful nation . in these successful nation. in these ideological thugs, even talk down things like our economy in the face of reality. it gives me hilarious pleasure to tell you that the international monetary fund have projected that brexit britain will be number two in the g7 for per capita economic growth over the next five years. second only to the us and beating germany , vie france, beating germany, vie france, japan and canada . the forces at japan and canada. the forces at work to undermine this country and torch its values are, in my view, toxic, divisive, anti—scientific , mad, dangerous, anti—scientific, mad, dangerous, ungodly and wrong . enter stage ungodly and wrong. enter stage left. those geniuses at avon and somerset police, who appear to have ended all burglaries ,

have ended all burglaries, sexual assaults, murder, cybercrime, fraud , muggings, cybercrime, fraud, muggings, gang warfare and anti—social behaviour . gang warfare and anti—social behaviour. that's right. they seem to have ended all crime because yesterday they proudly announced on twitter that they've arrested a man and imprisoned him for burning a pride flag in a park in weston super mare. well, the police are having a weston super mare on this one so far. the tweet has been seen by 1.3 million people, with thousands of angry comments. but just 289 likes. we call that death by ratio . dear call that death by ratio. dear the establishment, i hate to break it to you, but the public are not woke. this story about the police was so comical. i honestly had to double check that it wasn't a parody account . that it wasn't a parody account. now the police have done this guy for criminal damage. he took

the flag. but why are they tweeting about it when it's clearly not the crime of the century? this ludicrous story demonstrates it's just how ideologically captured public institutions like the police have become . and frankly, the have become. and frankly, the double standards of our cops are a sick joke as they allow so—called peace protesters to indulge in a weekly festival of jew hate, calling for the wiping out of israel and intifada, which means suicide bombs on pubuc which means suicide bombs on public transport and in crowded pubuc public transport and in crowded public spaces . no arrests made. public spaces. no arrests made. but let's lock up a man who performs a stunt criticising a mad new religion, which is drastically changing our society and which particularly threatens kids, women and gay people . so kids, women and gay people. so for whoever wins this election , for whoever wins this election, let me promise you, whilst the cost of living crime , school cost of living crime, school places, defence and the nhs are

of critical importance and concerns to the public, the so—called culture wars are important to because they materially impact what it's like to live in this country and what it means to be british. we faced a threat to our values in two world wars and with the help of winston churchill and our like minded allies, we prevailed . we minded allies, we prevailed. we now face an ideological threat from within. the holy church of woke has captured public institutions that you and i pay for. like the police . and the for. like the police. and the last time i checked, i don't think anyone voted for that . think anyone voted for that. >> how about that folks? >> how about that folks? >> i'm getting quicker for full reaction to my big opinion monologue . first of all, your monologue. first of all, your comments please gbnews.com/yoursay i'll say. but this evening i'm delighted to

welcome political commentator benedict spence, journalist and broadcast writer emma burnell and a brand new star on mark dolan tonight. first of many appearances, i've got no doubt labour party activist susan mel stride great to see all three of you in the studio. suzy, can i start with you? listen, this guy has taken a flag . it wasn't his. has taken a flag. it wasn't his. it probably is criminal damage. but why have the police tweeted about it? i would argue that they have been ideologically captured . what's your view? captured. what's your view? >> i mean, listening to you just then , i do find it a bit of a then, i do find it a bit of a breath of fresh air. but i do think, i mean, what concerns me the most. i mean, there was i had seven instances last year where i had to call the police different things. i work with young people. there were situations i almost got knocked off my bike waiting on the phone, you know, for the police in an emergency situation and i what what i find infuriating is that these things are taking up space. that is what bothers me. does that make sense? yeah. like i'm like, at what point does that become a more pressing issue? so i think for me that

that in some ways is i mean, surely the burning of the flag is, is a word or perhaps a clip around the ear. >> no. >> no. >> yeah. i mean, look, i think rather than arrest and imprisonment in a cell. exactly i mean, look, i think it's a wrong thing to do. do i think it needed someone needs to be arrested for that? no. i've seen far worse things happen, and people aren't arrested. so i think yeah, i think there's just an obsession with certain things, which i think is concerning . but like i say, in concerning. but like i say, in some ways, what you alluded to there, you know, we've got lots of crimes at the moment, you know, that aren't being dealt with with the seriousness that they need. and actually police time being given to this and then tweeting about it. yeah i don't it seems a bit blown out of proportion. look, i love our coppers emma burnell they do an amazing job every day. >> they do a much harder job >> they do a much harderjob than mine, which is putting their lives on the line every day. but i'm concerned about the culture of policing in this country, and that the wokery strikes me as having really infiltrated organisations like the police . what's your view? the police. what's your view? >> well, i think there are .

>> well, i think there are. there's a balance to be struck, is the honest answer. i know i'm going to be madam nuance again tonight, look, i think there are, problems with expecting the police to change social norms , police to change social norms, and to outright some social norms , i also think that there norms, i also think that there are crimes in this country that are crimes in this country that are driven by things that , some are driven by things that, some people would say is an anti—woke stance. so, for example, gay bashing or , let's say domestic bashing or, let's say domestic violence , anti anti—female violence, anti anti —female hatred. violence, anti anti—female hatred. sure. these are things that we need to deal with. and sometimes we do need to get the police involved . so it is about police involved. so it is about finding a balance. would i have arrested a guy for burning a flag. no. should he had had a bit of a talking to yes. but when you put it on twitter i think the problem with that and i think susie's right is it's, it's about it. it says this is a priority. we have so many tweets that this police force are

sending a day. this is the crime we've chosen to highlight on this day, rather than, hey , this day, rather than, hey, here's a burglary that we solved, or here's a rapist. we stopped , so i think that there stopped, so i think that there is a sense that we could take the police back to policing crime. some of those crimes will be things like homophobic attacks . sure, but what we need attacks. sure, but what we need to do is say , you know, to do is say, you know, ultimately, what do we want the police force to do and how can we allow them to do it better? >> well, let's suppose avon and somerset police would argue that what they're doing with highlighting this crime is that they want to make sure that everyone that lives in that region feels represented by the police force , including trans people. >> i think. i mean, this wasn't his flag, was it? it was somebody else's. >> he absconded with it. >> he absconded with it. >> see, right off the bat there, i've not got a problem with sending somebody to prison for setting fire to something that doesn't belong to them. just it doesn't belong to them. just it doesn't matter if it's a flag, somebody curtains. it doesn't actually matter what it is. i think it's a sort of a basic principle. if somebody destroys something that doesn't belong to them for whatever reason. >> actually, i think a couple of

nights in the cell or even a couple of weeks in the cells is probably fine if it's about sending a political message, if it's your own flag, that's absolutely fine. but again, if it's something that you've stolen, i think that there's a line to be drawn there. i think the fact that this is what's being highlighted rather than many other sort of what the police would consider low level crime, but what actually most people understand to be things that terrorise people's lives, i think doesn't actually, as you say, some, you know, it might be about saying to the trans community or the lgbt community, yes, we're here for all of you, but actually for the overwhelming majority of people who have to suffer crime every day and don't get police turning up, let alone , you know, up, let alone, you know, tweeting about it, they go, actually, no, you don't represent everybody. you represent everybody. you represent a small group of people for whom this is politically expedient for you to tweet about, not the majority, because you didn't turn up to the person that put a brick through my window or stole my post. >> or very briefly, susie, i just wonder whether the police should stay out of sexual politics, you know? do we want rainbows painted on police cars? their job is to catch criminals and lock them up. just don't you think that they should essentially get less involved in these cultural issues altogether and be police again , i mean,

and be police again, i mean, look, i think i'm agreeing with the nuance stuff here. you know, i think where you're all being far too balanced. >> this is gb news david amess . >> this is gb news david amess. >> this is gb news david amess. >> this is not what we paid for, i think. >> i think where it verges into i didn't know the flag had been stolen. that's also different for me. and also, i think where things verge into hate crime, i think that is also different. i think that is also different. i think i'm just highlighting something broader here. there are lots of people that are suffering from antisocial behaviour that is devastating their lives. you know, when my mum and dad were young parents and i was in my mum's belly, they had like a violent alcoholic ruining their lives. people are dealing with serious levels of crime. i'm not saying this guy shouldn't have been arrested. arrested, but i think my concern is, is how much gravitas we're giving to certain things, how much priority we're giving to certain things, who we're trying to please here. why are we trying to please. right. that's the million dollar question. and that's the thing. and i'm just like, to be honest, where are the lobbyists for the poor people? where are the lobbyists for the people? like you say, we've got bricks being thrown. where are the lobbyists for the people living on the

streets, you know, the elderly people living in fear and whatever. and i'm not trying to make those things more drastic, but that is the reality of lots of people, okay? whether they're lobbyists. >> fascinating. your reaction gbnews.com/yoursay i'll say next up in the big story, with indirect taxes set to rise under sir keir starmer, can britain afford a labour government will debate that

next? welcome back at 10:00, i'm going to be talking about kate middleton . princess kate. she middleton. princess kate. she returned yesterday. what a tonic it was for the nation, a big reaction to my big opinion on the message board. let me load up those comments as they come through. let me get to our big story, and i'll get to your feedback in just a moment. but the guardian newspaper report that shadow health secretary wes streeting has failed to rule out a council tax rise if labour wins the election , arguing that

wins the election, arguing that labour wanted to do more in power than it has promised. in its manifesto, a manifesto in which, although promising not to raise income tax, vat or national insurance, will see an increase in indirect taxes of over £8 billion. meanwhile, sir keir starmer has failed repeatedly to rule out increasing capital gains tax, whilst advisers to britain's super rich say that some clients may leave the country if labour wins the election and pushes ahead with plans to abolish tax protections on offshore wealth. and just this weekend , sir keir and just this weekend, sir keir has had to rule out capital gains tax on the sale of people's homes, something that deputy leader angela rayner was unwilling to rule out in an earlier interview. so with taxes at an 80 year high, can britain afford a labour government ? afford a labour government? let's get the views of former labour mp sean simon. sean

lovely to see you again. labour wants to improve the country but it's going to cost us, isn't it? >> i think the danger is that labour don't increase tax in the way that they've said that they won't increase tax. i mean that there's never been a government in waiting that i can remember that has said promised. so clearly we're not going to increase income tax , national increase income tax, national insurance, that, corporation tax. i mean, and yet the whole country knows the public services are absolutely broken and need to be fixed. and the economy is absolutely broken and needs to be fixed. people have not since the war, the second world war, have people felt so poor. world war, have people felt so poor . real wages have gone down poor. real wages have gone down in a way that's never happened before . so let me let me work before. so let me let me work for little sean. >> can i bust this narrative

that the economy is in some way broken? we're currently enjoying the highest gdp growth in the g7. the imf have projected that the uk will be number two only to america for growth in the next five years, and wages are keeping up with inflation. wages are rising at the moment. >> i, i don't know i don't know if you actually if you actually believe that the what the sense in which you're questioning the imf . imf. >> if i'm questioning you, mark, to be honest , the, the sense in to be honest, the, the sense in which growth has increased is that was that growth in the uk was the lowest in the western world for a very long time, and it's now from an unbelievably low base, is moving relative or going to start moving relatively quickly compared to its, that's not true. >> the ons had to revise our growth statistics, pointing out that we recovered very swiftly after the pandemic, better than the eurozone , for example, who the eurozone, for example, who spent most of last year

languishing in recession. it's the international monetary fund, sean , which is predicting that sean, which is predicting that the uk is going to have really solid growth for the next five years. so if labour gets in, they're very lucky . they're very lucky. >> the truth is, if you look at gdp per capita, so the nation's wealth divided by the number of people in it, in two thousand and seven eight, the uk was slightly under, i.e. just towards the end of the last labour government, the uk was slightly above the united states of america. look at it now. it's virtually half. we have plummeted down the international economic standings after 14 years of conservative government. that is what has actually happened and people don't need me to tell them . and don't need me to tell them. and i'm sorry, mark, they're not persuaded by you telling them everything. and they're really right. >> i mean, i will add that at the moment, per capita growth in germany is lower than ours, and germany is lower than ours, and germany is lower than ours, and germany is an economic powerhouse, so we're doing better than them. but listen, let's talk about what may happen under a labour government. taxes

are already historically high. the national debt is over £2 trillion. and last month we borrowed £20 billion just to keep the lights on. now i'll throw you a bone. you're absolutely right, sean. that is the concern . natives who have the concern. natives who have presided over that disaster. so how is labour going to transform the country with no money to spend? >> it's a massive, massive problem. and that is that is labour's big problem . the labour's big problem. the economy is broken. the public services are broken. they are, they are. they've said they're not going to tax and they won't. they've said they're not going to borrow money and they won't. the fiscal situation is as you've just described it, but obviously i mean, i say obviously i mean, i say obviously it's widely assumed that they're going to come into office and it's widely assumed that they're they're probably going to have a pretty good, good, comfortable majority . and good, comfortable majority. and i think the danger for labour is that people will be saying, right, thank goodness we've finally got rid of the tories .

finally got rid of the tories. now you over to you guys to really make things better. but it's going to be very, very difficult to make very much impact. and definitely stay stay with us. >> let me bring in my pundit benedict spence on this. benedict, what's your reaction to what you've heard? so far? >> i mean, it's obviously going to be very difficult for the labour party because obviously one of the main things that they're trying to sell to people is the fact that there's the idea rather that they're going to run public services better than the conservative party >> and obviously, given the mess that the conservatives are leaving, that's not a difficult promise to sell them. however, i think john mentioned at the start that very importantly that in his opinion and certainly the opinion of many people, the economy is broken in this country. sir keir starmer said that one of his key ambitions is wealth creation. well you're not going to fix the economy or create more wealth by taxing people , and this is going to be people, and this is going to be the very delicate balancing act that the labour party have to make. they have to find a way of turbocharging the economy, getting growth, growing, because whilst mark, whilst you say we're sort of doing well relative to the major economies

in the world, actually europe is in the world, actually europe is in a bit of an economic slump in the united states is ahead of us anyway. we can't compete with them, but actually in a sort of a broader scope, we're not doing particularly well. you do need to find a way, a of turbocharging the economy so that you can increase tax takes down the line and pay down the debt so that you can fund the services. but also we need to find a way of getting people on the lowest rung out of things like in—work benefits , because, like in—work benefits, because, of course, one of the major things that's afflicting people in this country is the suppression of wages. actually, for a lot of people, wages have not kept pace with inflation at all. wages have been kept very low, certainly at the bottom rung. and i think ultimately, as much as the labour party would like to be sort of increasing taxes, and they always say we're going to tax the rich, tax the rich, this is always the delicate thing. it's never the rich that attacks. it's the middle classes, the engine of progress that end up being taxed because the rich, the super rich, who everybody likes the idea of bashing have already long since moved their assets. the ones that can be got offshore . companies looking to offshore. companies looking to invest in the uk abroad will be spooked by the idea of massive tax increases in this country, and that in itself is not going to help growth either.

>> now, sean simon, labour are very clear that a lot of their progressive plans to improve the country, which i'm sure come from the right place and are well motivated, will be achieved through economic growth and i can support that. i think that's a fantastic policy . grow, grow, a fantastic policy. grow, grow, grow. but how are labour going to get the economy growing if they act zero hours contracts and saddle businesses with red tape and more workers rights ? tape and more workers rights? >> well, because zero hours contracts don't , generate contracts don't, generate growth. and if you look at, high performing countries like germany , where if you rather germany, where if you rather than measuring is that the same germany that has lower growth than us at the moment? >> i've explained this thing about growth to you already once. >> listen more carefully this time when i when i explain it again, because growth here is at again, because growth here is at a very low base, because basically the tories have made us poor, then it only takes a little bit of growth for it to

start to seem like, no, no, no, no, i'm talking about future projections as well. >> maria, get the slide ready. it's from the, big opinion monologue , if you can. but monologue, if you can. but listen, i understand labour wants to grow the economy , and i wants to grow the economy, and i really support that. but how are they going to do it? by giving businesses red tape and boosting workers rights . which means they workers rights. which means they can go on strike, which is going to be ruinous for businesses, ruinous for the economy. >> because as as benedict was just saying, actually paying people the lowest wages you can possibly pay with the worst conditions you can possibly give them, is not the way to generate growth. >> the way to generate growth is by, edu education, skills, upskill ing the workforce, having a well—paid workforce with good conditions that wants to work , and is motivated to, to to work, and is motivated to, to help companies to succeed. okay. >> well, listen, if labour win, i do hope they're successful. but there's the graph, sean. i

don't want to be too pedantic . don't want to be too pedantic. imf, gdp per capita, g7 growth . imf, gdp per capita, g7 growth. projections 2024 to 2019. and there is britain in the red in laboun there is britain in the red in labour. red, if you like. i mean, is that graph not convincing enough? >> it's not. it's not convincing enough because what it doesn't tell you is how poor you are in the first place. >> okay, listen, sean, we always love having you on the show. i hope you'll be back very soon. thank you for being a good sport. and helping us debate this important issue. given the fact that the polls would suggest a labour government is coming. my thanks to sean simon there for a very spirited discussion on economic growth . discussion on economic growth. what's your verdict? gbnews.com/yoursay coming up, has sir ed davey insulted subpostmasters with his election anfics subpostmasters with his election antics as post office hero alan bates gets a knighthood? should ed davey lose his ? i'll be asking. former dem mp and leadership hopeful mark oaten

next. well, i'll get to your feedback very shortly. but the lib dem leader, sir ed davey, has made headunes leader, sir ed davey, has made headlines with his election campaign antics. however for a subpostmaster who lost his livelihood in the horizon scandal, someone that was actually made bankrupt has accused sir ed of buffoonery for his stunt laden activities. lee castleton played by actor will mellor in the itv drama, compared sir ed's photo opportunities to boris johnson, adding trust is never going to be built by paddleboarding in cumbria. sir ed has been criticised for not doing more to help wrongly convicted subpostmasters when he served as postal affairs minister in the coalition government in 2010. he's previously apologised for failing to see through the post office's lies , and has insisted office's lies, and has insisted that he's taking voters concerns seriously , despite campaign seriously, despite campaign events, including a visit to a

theme park and a ride on a waterslide. let's get the views of former lib dem mp and leadership hopeful mark oaten, whose highly entertaining podcast with lembit opik, the very liberal podcast , is out very liberal podcast, is out now. mark, lovely to see you. former newspaper editor kelvin mackenzie has said that in the week post office hero alan bates receives a knighthood , sir ed receives a knighthood, sir ed davey should hand his back. is he right ? he right? >> no. i think he's totally wrong , look, this is a very wrong, look, this is a very different situation from some of the individuals who were at the heart of the post office and who were covering events up, sir ed was in a government role. he asked the questions . he sadly asked the questions. he sadly was lied to, as were many others in this process. so it's not a case that ed davey has lied or covered up anything whatsoever at all. the only thing that sadly happened was that he was

lied to. that said, he's apologised and i think he recognises that this was a terrible mistake by many, many people for not probing further, deeper and harder at what they were being told by the post office . office. >> i'm all for probing harder. but listen, mark, let me say to you this, which is that this is a guy, ed davey, who refused to meeting with alan bates, who was a sub postmaster that wrote directly to him when he was post office minister, saying, please meet me. let me tell you his story . no such meeting was story. no such meeting was granted. also, it's not a minister's job to believe everything they're told. i've got a brilliant team around me, mezhgan and maria today, but they tell me things. i still double check . double check. >> well, look, i think if you're a minister and mark, neither of us have been. and neither of us are likely ever to be. never say never. are likely ever to be. never say never . you never know. you get never. you never know. you get literally thousands , hundreds literally thousands, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of letters coming through. i remember as a member of parliament being bombarded with letters. you do have to take

judgements when you're trying to answer all of that correspondence , and you do when correspondence, and you do when you're a minister, have to listen to civil servants and take advice. it is just literally impossible to personally investigate every single issue which comes your way. i am sure, i am sure that ed regrets it, but i'm sure equally that many other ministers would also agree that it's impossible when you're being lied to actually get to the bottom of some of these issues and mark stay with us. >> let me bring in my top punst >> let me bring in my top pundits this evening. benedict spence emma burnell and susie stride . emma, do you think that stride. emma, do you think that this is sticking when it comes to sir ed davey and his handling of the post office scandal? >> i think that's the biggest attack line that is sticking on him, though i would say that i think ed davey has had a pretty good campaign , he's managed to good campaign, he's managed to do, which is really , really hard do, which is really, really hard as the third party is kind of break through with these silly stunts and everyone knows it's a silly stunt and you have a

laugh, but then he kind of bnngs laugh, but then he kind of brings it into some of his more serious points around social care. it's impossible for the lib dems to get the kind of media coverage that, parties who are going to be in government will get. so you can see why they have to do things a little differently. i think the subpost offices, subpostmasters and mistresses absolutely have a case to be angry with. ed davey, he did fail. lots of people failed. he wasn't the only one who failed, but he was one of them. his high profile. >> okay. yeah. briefly. benedict will this scandal hurt? ed davey on the 4th of july? >> i don't think it will. i mean, first and foremost, i don't think he should lose his knighthood. i don't tend to trust knights of the realm unless there's a bit of scandal about them, or there's a little bit of clownery about them. i'm old fashioned like that, but i think having sort of positioned himself as still fundamentally the lib dems as the pro—remain or rejoin party, and with the labour party being rather

reticent on that issue, angela rayner going on that debate a couple of days ago and saying absolutely not, the labour party would not be considering rejoining the european union. i think he opens himself up to a large sway of people who even if they did feel slightly scandalised about the post scandalised about the post scandal , scandalised about the post scandal, will scandalised about the post scandal , will feel scandalised about the post scandal, will feel a scandalised about the post scandal , will feel a little bit scandal, will feel a little bit more strongly about that particular issue. i think he'll be fine come july the 4th. >> susie stride, you've done plenty of campaigning in your time for the labour party. you continue to do so . what do you continue to do so. what do you make of ed davey's campaign? because this subpostmaster , who because this subpostmaster, who was made bankrupt by the scandal, describes him as a bofis scandal, describes him as a boris johnson type. do you think this kind of campaigning, trivial misses our politics, look, he's doing what he can do to get them into the limelight, which is what he needs to do. and that's, like, clever. it's you know, it's good politics. >> is it clever, susie? >> is it clever, susie? >> well, look, look , people were >> well, look, look, people were talking about him, and it's getting on to the news. my bigger problem with the lib dems is you can't trust them. because for me , you know, they promised for me, you know, they promised all this stuff in 2010. went in with the tories. they were responsible for closing

children's centres. lies libraries, youth clubs. you know you can't trust them. it needs to be the tories. the tories say we're going to do this. and then they did it. you know, with the lib dems, they promised all this stuff. then they went in with the tories and look, look what we got. okay. i just don't think you can trust them. but anyway you can trust them. but anyway you know that's my opinion. okay. >> well that's what this show's all about. mark oaten, you get the last word. >> never. don't >> never. don't >> policies from the lib dems coming out. i would much rather the way eddie's doing things and the way eddie's doing things and the way eddie's doing things and the way keir starmer and the prime minister are doing things, they're so cautious. they're so scared they won't commit to do anything. they have no personalities . good on ed. he's personalities. good on ed. he's showing he's got personalities and politics and policies as well. >> check out mark owen's brand new podcast with lembit opik. it's very entertaining. it's called the very liberal podcast, an entertaining look at the big political stories of the day. okay folks, lots to get through in my take at ten. princess kate, my verdict on her wonderful return. but next up is

the election. now just damage limitation for the tories. could they drop to just 70 seats? i'll be asking former conservative minister and liz truss dame jackie doyle—price

next. welcome back. now a shock new poll by survation in the sunday times suggests the conservatives could be reduced to near electoral extinction, possibly to as few as 72 seats. so are the tories now playing operation damage control? let's get reaction from former government minister dame jackie doyle—price. dame doyle—price thank you so much for joining us, tell us your reaction to this latest poll. you're not going to win the election now, are you? so is it damage limitation? >> well , i limitation? >> well, i have to limitation? >> well , i have to say to you, >> well, i have to say to you, mark, that this is an election

like no other i've ever experienced because we always expect, further governing parties behind the polls. and as you've just articulated , this you've just articulated, this looks like near oblivion. but that's not my experience on the doors. it actually feels a lot softer than that , i mean, i softer than that, i mean, i think clearly if i was a betting woman , i'd be not putting money woman, i'd be not putting money on the conservatives to win a majority. i think that's fair to put fair to say. but i think the results that you've just shown from that poll are far from what will happen on the night. >> okay, so you've still got the fight in you. i mean, what do you think you can achieve on the 4th of july realistically, without making my viewers and listeners laugh ? listeners laugh? >> well, well, the good news for your viewers and listeners is that they're more than halfway through this election campaign, but what i would say is things can happen very quickly and they can happen very quickly and they can turn on the head of a pin, from my perspective, you know, i've won four elections. i was only ever expected to win one of those four, so we're used to it being a scrap here in thurrock, and we just put one foot in

front of the other and as i say, i would say that really, i think there's a mood abroad that says that everyone's really annoyed with everyone. so there's not a positive swing towards the labour party , there's, there is, labour party, there's, there is, you know, let's be frank, the last five years have had their ups and downs and people are very frustrated with how the conservative parties behave. and as a consequence , you know, as a consequence, you know, along comes, nigel farage to throw his sort of £0.02 in the mix and people are getting, you know, sort of well, who shall we pick? and that's where i think a lot of people are. people are still making up their minds. now, obviously postal votes have landed. so people are casting their votes already . vie, but we their votes already. vie, but we are just going to carry on and put forward the message as best we can that, you know, if you want a government that allows you to keep more of what you earn and make more decisions yourself , then you should vote conservative. >> however, you'll have seen that well—publicised poll during the week that sees reform uk symbolically edging ahead of the conservatives i'll grant you, dame doyle—price , that was just

dame doyle—price, that was just an isolated poll, but significant nonetheless. so in that context, what is nigel farage doing right that rishi sunakis farage doing right that rishi sunak is doing wrong? >> well, for a start, you're talking about him and the rest of the media are talking about him. you know, he's he's entered the race very late in the day and he's set it on fire, because it's new and it's interesting. so i would expect this to be his high water mark in the polls , if high water mark in the polls, if i'm brutally frank. but the interesting thing about that poll is look at that labour share of the vote, 37. now, really , if labour were on for really, if labour were on for a landslide, they should be doing an awful lot better than that. they they should not two and a half weeks before polling day be falling back to 37% of the vote. they should be well ahead of 40. >> and dame jacqui , let me talk >> and dame jacqui, let me talk to you about various aspects of the campaign so far. first of all, do you think that rishi sunak was right to call a july election , well, it's up to him

election, well, it's up to him with the advice of his cabinet, it wasn't the timing i was looking forward to. i was looking forward to. i was looking forward to the autumn. if i'm if i'm brutally frank. but, you know, that's a matter for him. we just have to make the best of it now, one way or another, all your viewers and listeners will have a clear summer, so perhaps he's done them a favour, definitely. >> i hope you didn't have to cancel any summer holidays . stay cancel any summer holidays. stay with us. let me bring in if i can. somebody that's, clearly keen to have a labour government and that is my brilliant fellow pundit. today, suzy is with us now, suzy, what do you have to say? what's your reaction to what dame jacqui has just said ? what dame jacqui has just said? >> look, this election, there's a really clear choice. you want to vote tory, then you're going to vote tory, then you're going to get sewage in your rivers and in your seas. you're going to have less police on the streets, crime rising. you're not going to have the 1.5 million homes that we desperately need. sorting out mortgages. i mean, jacqui never met her, but, you know, complete respect, always

want to respect opponents but worked for liz truss. you know, the economy of this country has been devastated by the tories , been devastated by the tories, devastated on the doors. people are afraid of the tories and what they have done to this economy . and what i would say is economy. and what i would say is mortgages for normal people have gone through the roof just on that. i'm not quite sure why anyone would be voting conservative. okay, suzy, on all these different things , i think these different things, i think we've got a really clear choice here. and i mean, i'm definitely not shocked by what i'm seeing on the doors. i'm definitely not shocked by seeing lifelong tories voting labour. it's making no justice. justice is being done. >> i'm not seeing dame jackie over to you . over to you. >> i mean, i'm not seeing lifelong tories voting labour at all. and i'll take you back to that poll. if that were true , that poll. if that were true, you'd be on more than 37% vote share for the labour party . what share for the labour party. what reform has done is actually bnng reform has done is actually bring another option for people who are irritated and frustrated by the conservatives. somewhere else to go. and the truth is, there is no love for labour. and that's why your poll share has

gone down just as much as ours has. and reformers searched dame jackie . jackie. >> i've heard about disarray at conservative party central office. can you tell me about the mood of the campaign? have the mood of the campaign? have the heads dropped , no, i the heads dropped, no, i wouldn't put it like that. >> i mean, you know, there is a reason why the conservative party is mostly successful electoral machine in the world is because we just do get on with fighting elections, i think a lot of people were blindsided by the fact that it was july, but we've all just got on with it, you know, we now know that, you know, ultimately we all know what we stand for and we believe in as conservatives. we know there's a clear choice between, having a conservative government or a labour one and a vote for any one of the conservatives does make a labour landslide likely. and that's really the message we've got to get across, dame jacqui briefly , thank you dame jacqui briefly, thank you so much forjoining us this so much for joining us this evening, last question . you evening, last question. you worked under liz truss. it was a short stint . you were a minister short stint. you were a minister in that government. i know you'd

like it to have been a longer stint. is the situation you find yourselves in as a party the fault of liz truss and those 44 days in number 10? >> no , i don't think it is. it >> no, i don't think it is. it goes back further than that. i mean, certainly what happened at that time, i mean, really we it liz was as prime minister at a time when lots of things were catalysing in the economy that were a long time coming. and, in that respect , she's more sinned that respect, she's more sinned against than sinning. in truth, the bank of england should have raised interest rates a lot sooner than they did. but if you're asked if you're question is when did the conservatives trouble start? i mean, it goes back further than that. you know, we were master of all we surveyed in 2019 after that general election and that all changed, at the time of the owen paterson. but when the government was then seen to be one that would change the rules to support one of its own, and we just haven't recovered because i think it's at that moment that the trust gets broken, in truth, that you so you have those those moments in time. we've never recovered that. and that is really why i

think the why the versus the cross with us because they expect better from a conservative government. they expect better behaviour . expect better behaviour. >> dame jackie, what a thrill to have you on the show. enjoy the campaign . my thanks to dame campaign. my thanks to dame jackie doyle—price. your reaction ? gbnews.com/yoursay. reaction? gbnews.com/yoursay. next up in my take at ten, my response to the return of princess catherine. see you in two. that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsor of weather on gb news. >> hello and welcome to your gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. we're expecting heavy showers on tuesday, but by the time we reach midweek, there'll be plenty of dry weather around, even some sunshine across most of the country. for the weekend though, we have had low pressure draped across the uk, which has generally brought an unsettled picture. plenty of rain and showers and it's this low pressure which is pushing this area of rain into northern parts of england. by the time we reach

cameron and nigel farage. plus, rishi sunak has revealed his religion of hinduism has helped him during his time as prime minister. so is faith an important factor in politics? i'll be asking former government minister and practising christian ann widdecombe. and great news england have beaten serbia one nil in germany, so you can see the fans celebrating. i think we're heading over to a live picture of what's happening, but let me tell you that we'll be going to football fanatic manchester united superfan michael crick in the last word. plus, we'll get all the latest on the election highs and lows and tomorrow's newspaper front pages and my top punst newspaper front pages and my top pundits this evening, benedict spence emma burnell and suzy stride a packed hour. those papers are coming. come on, england, one nil. it's coming home, folks. but first my take at ten. in the spirit of political balance, at this time, i think it's fair to say there's

no great excitement about any of the possible outcomes for the general election. faith in politics is low and the don't know candidate forming a don't know candidate forming a don't know government for the don't know government for the don't know party would probably be the most popular in a century. it's a great irony, therefore, that the public figures for whom we have the most affection are the ones that we do not choose, namely, the royal family. yes, the idea of a monarchy is a little eccentric. a handful of genetic lottery winners gifted untold riches, fame and privilege by accident of birth. but like many other aspects of british life, including our constitution, our judiciary and our parliament, it may have a few odd traditions . it our parliament, it may have a few odd traditions. it may our parliament, it may have a few odd traditions . it may seem few odd traditions. it may seem strange on paper, arcane, dusty, perhaps out of date, a bit mad even, but ultimately it works. aside from a small rabble of dissenters who would like a republic, the royal family enjoy

astonishing levels of popularity . an ipsos poll taken in may reveals that almost half of britons believe that the uk would be worse off without a monarchy. that was up from 38% in march. any politician would only dream of those numbers , as only dream of those numbers, as we saw during queen elizabeth's funeral, when brits of all backgrounds went to westminster to pay their respects. this ancient institution enjoys widespread support . even holly widespread support. even holly willoughby and phillip schofield did everything they could to catch a glimpse of the coffin . catch a glimpse of the coffin. and, astonishingly, this rich. and, astonishingly, this rich. and let's be honest, not remotely diverse family is incredibly effective at bringing together and binding our diverse nation. and the reason why is history , in this increasingly history, in this increasingly transactional commercial world, thatis transactional commercial world, that is something that you can't buy for those looking down their

nose on the monarchy, perhaps they'd like to browse through photographs of the late queen mother navigating the rubble of wartime london, offering support and words of understanding for brits whose homes had just been bombed out during the blitz , the bombed out during the blitz, the royal family have been the nation's rock in peace and in war and whatever we've been through as a country, the royals have gone through it with us, most keenly reflected in that image of the queen sat alone in a chapel, socially distanced , a chapel, socially distanced, having just buried her husband philip at the height of the pandemic and during those ludicrous lockdown days, even our late great queen had to comply with the madness. and like any family, the royals have to go through all of the same problems as the rest of us. yes, they don't have to worry about they don't have to worry about the cost of heating their homes , the cost of heating their homes, putting food on the table, or getting the very best medical care. but as we've seen over the years, they too have battled

family strife, brothers at war, disruptive sister in laws, dodgy uncles bringing embarrassment on the family, squabbles over who lives where. for financial battles, births, marriages, deaths and divorce. and of course latterly ill health. if anyone was in any doubt about the relevance and importance of the relevance and importance of the royal family to this country , that was quickly dismissed with the instant and deep outpouring of concern following the double nightmare of both king charles and princess catherine's cancer diagnoses . catherine's cancer diagnoses. which is why, to see the return of princess catherine into the spotlight yesterday and the king fulfilling his public duties was joyous. but it was joyous and bittersweet. yes, it was a reminder of how loved they are and also how important they are , and also how important they are, but also a reminder that they are mortal and tragically continue to battle this serious

disease . last night, a guest on disease. last night, a guest on the show, our brilliant us royal reporter kinsey schofield, made a brilliant point about cancer. >> cancer brings people closer and you did feel that way. even looking at prince george, admiring his mother and father on the balcony . on the balcony. >> cancer does indeed bring people closer and it's clearly had that effect on the royal family, with charles and his son william closer than ever, and william closer than ever, and william and his wife catherine still deeply, dizzyingly in love. but this double blow of catherine and charles being ill has brought the nation together too, which is the default mechanism of our monarchy for fichen mechanism of our monarchy for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, this unique family represent and embody the nation , represent and embody the nation, its values, its principles, its history . given that an elected history. given that an elected head of state would probably be

a clapped out ex politician or celebrity for example, president tony blair, president piers morgan, president gary lineker , morgan, president gary lineker, then i think we should count our blessings . looking at the scenes blessings. looking at the scenes yesterday at the balcony in buckingham palace, a republic has never felt further away . in has never felt further away. in these divided times when we've been split over issues like brexit, the pandemic and now the election , the royal family is election, the royal family is above all of that. it is devoid of tribal politics. it's a constant and it provides the bedrock and foundations of our nation. politicians will come and go, but the royal family are here to stay. they will always have the people's . vote. your have the people's. vote. your reaction to yesterday's massive royal celebration? gbnews.com/yoursay i'll say first up, tonight's top pundits

political commentator benedict spence, journalist and broadcaster emma burnell and labour party activist susie stride benedict, let me start with you. we have never felt further away from being a republic in my lifetime . republic in my lifetime. >> i think that's more or less right. i think that would pay. perhaps a stronger argument for it. were our political system more broadly in a better state. but i think by and large, i think people have lost trust with politicians . i think that with politicians. i think that that's reflected in the fact that's reflected in the fact that there isn't even particularly great love for the labour party in sir keir starmer, even though he's on course to win a staggering majority. people aren't doing it through the sort of adulation that even, you know, tony blair got to a certain degree when he was elected in 97. i think people have completely fallen out of love with our political class, and perhaps i shouldn't be the best argument for a monarchy, but it certainly seems to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting at the moment. and i think when you juxtapose that with the fact that the royal family, i think have been rather savvy when it comes to what

causes to sort of pursue , be it causes to sort of pursue, be it house building or the environment. in the case of the king, or mental health and homelessness in the case of the duke and duchess, of cornwall, then of wales. sorry then actually i think they're on a very steady trajectory in a way that democratic politics doesn't necessarily allow your politicians to maintain emma burnell the case for a monarchy has never been stronger. >> there's a difference between the case for a monarchy , which i the case for a monarchy, which i mean, as you said in your own monologue, is a bit bizarre , and monologue, is a bit bizarre, and the case for the current situation in not changing, you know, there's a you can take the theoretical argument, which i believe in. i'm no monarchist. i've never been a monarchist. i don't think we should have an inherent inherited head of state. i just don't think anyone should be gifted that privilege through a random birthright. right. but i also think that it's not going to change, in the next few years. i mean, never say never , i think benedict's

say never, i think benedict's point is right about the difference between where the royal family are and where there's a certain sense that people aren't particularly politically engaged, but that also means that if they if the latter changes, it might well change the former, too. >> okay, susie stride , the >> okay, susie stride, the alternative to a monarchy is a clapped out ex—politician or celebrity press agent tony blair. president piers morgan , blair. president piers morgan, president gary lineker i mean, personally, i'm all for president gary lineker. >> anyone else ? he's already got >> anyone else? he's already got the ears. he's perfect for it. great footballer. i mean, this is right. >> you're on your own on that one, susie. >> i'm going to be honest. i find it tricky . like i really find it tricky. like i really love the queen. i when she passed away, i went all the way up there with my child. and you know, and whatnot. >> did you have vip tickets like holly and phil? >> i didn't get any of those vip tickets. i could have queued, but i didn't queue. but i could have. but anyway, got a lot of love. and also prince william and kate, i love all their work

on mental health and because i work with kids with mental health needs. so i love all of that. however, i think someone's got to step back and look at the bigger picture. how can these people be privileged by blood? there's nothing good about that , there's nothing good about that, you know? yeah, they do their duties. but we could get a family from the east end of london and stick them in buckingham palace, and i think they'll do their duties for that money. i think you get, you know, a family from new castle to do their duties pretty well as well. and so my thing would be why, what makes them different? what, because someone 200 years ago cut someone else's head off? i don't get it. so i genuinely do think that we're a very logical country , a really very logical country, a really rational country. and so though emotionally , i love the idea of emotionally, i love the idea of i like massively respected queen, really, like, prince william and kate and love what they're doing on mental health and all that kind of stuff. so i've got this strange thing, but at the same time i'm like, guys like, really? what makes them any different to benedict or emma or let's not say me, but you know what i mean? okay. so i mean, i really do think, you

know, we've got to think about that, you know, privileged white blood. >> i'll give you that. >> i'll give you that. >> i'll give you that. >> i do think that benedict is a lot better dressed than the prince of wales. and emma burnell a lot more glamorous than most of the royal families. so, listen, folks will debate that. but what do you think? i think the case for the monarchy has never been stronger. gbnews.com/yoursay. next up, an explosive war of words has broken out between david cameron and nigel farage. plus, rishi sunak has revealed his religion of hinduism has helped him dunng of hinduism has helped him during his time as prime minister. so is an important factor in politics? i'll be asking ann

next. it's time for the newsmaker . and it's time for the newsmaker. and an extraordinary war of words has broken out between foreign secretary david cameron and reform uk leader nigel farage, with david cameron describing farage as a divisive , farage as a divisive, inflammatory figure who is not welcome in the conservative party. producer maria is

furious. meanwhile, writing for the telegraph newspaper today, nigel farage has shot back , nigel farage has shot back, saying david cameron is smug, complacent and snobby and a disgrace to britain. so who's going to win this battle? well, let's speak to another political titan and someone that's no stranger to a political dustup. former government minister and broadcaster ann widdecombe. and what do you make of this standoff? is it hand—bags at dawn ? dawn? >> well, i think it's probably swords at dawn. i think it's probably getting quite violent, i knew or i know both these men, i knew or i know both these men, i worked with cameron for a while, in parliament. i know that cameron is smug, and he is snobby , and he is dismissive of snobby, and he is dismissive of people who don't share his views . he is all of those things. i can absolutely say that of my own observation, not of anything i've read or heard, and by contrast, nigel says sometimes people don't like it, but he

says exactly what he thinks. and i think people are now so fed up, with the with the parliament that they've got, they are so utterly fed up. they're yearning for somebody who just says it as it is. says what he thinks rather than what he thinks. you want to hear him say , which is want to hear him say, which is something very different, and so i think nigel will win this one. i think nigel will win this one. i think nigel will win this one. i think he's already winning this one. >> but speaking of winning, ann hasn't david cameron achieved far more in his political career than nigel farage, given that he's been prime minister and an mp, neither of which has been achieved by nigel? >> well, you've left out two important words there so far. >> do you think nigel farage could become prime minister at some point? >> well, i would like to think so, but the crucial thing is to keep our eyes at the moment and our aims on this election and in making sure that now that we have overtaken the conservatives in at least one poll, making

sure that we go on and that we build on that, because the truth is, we're the conservatives now, there are no conservatives in parliament. david cameron certainly isn't a conservative in any recognised form. >> of course, i should stress that the conservatives will argue they have a very conservative agenda. they're going to stop the boats, they're going to stop the boats, they're going to stop the boats, they're going to reduce immigration and cut taxes. but ann, of course you're chuckling away. you're entitled to do that, listen, you dropped you go, go on. >> i'm entitled to ask. i don't want to hear what they're going to do. my question is, why haven't they already done it? you know, it's sunak talk about stop the boats. what a joke . stop the boats. what a joke. sunak has spent two years with no plan b putting all his hopes on rwanda, which still hasn't happened. on rwanda, which still hasn't happened . and he's got the gall happened. and he's got the gall to say to us, trust me, i'll stop the boats. oh no, he won't. >> however, an nigel farage can say that he's going to stop the boats and wokery and cut taxes because he's not going to be prime minister. he's not going to win power. he will be lucky

to win power. he will be lucky to win power. he will be lucky to win the seat in which he's campaigning . this is fantasy campaigning. this is fantasy politics, isn't it? >> oh, no. it isn't. i mean, for a start, you know, we're not going to go from nought to government overnight. we know that we're not going to be the government in power after the general election. that's unsafe. of course not, but what we can do is take over from the tories , do is take over from the tories, as opposition, both as effective opposition and then later as actual opposition. we can do that. and, you know, when we say , as reform says, it's not just nigel that we will stop the boats and we put forward a plan to do it. we don't just eye in the sky when we say we'll do that. i think people believe that, yes, if we get half a chance, we will. so i would say give us the chance . give us the chance. >> and what are the circumstances in which nigel farage might eventually become prime minister >> well, if you want to build scenarios , and i'd much rather scenarios, and i'd much rather deal with today's reality than tomorrow's possibilities , but

tomorrow's possibilities, but the scenario would be that the conservatives are very badly wiped out this time, that they don't get their act together . don't get their act together. and that would be in keeping with, you know, the last few years. they just don't get their act together, then i think people will look to say, well, you know, where is the common sense party and its, its reform? >> and what would you say to those watching or listening who consider nigel farage to be a dangerous and divisive man who has done untold damage to this country? >> well, the electorate apparently doesn't agree. >> salt and sweet. now, ann , can >> salt and sweet. now, ann, can we talk about the prime minister, rishi sunak, prime minister, rishi sunak, prime minister for now at least, he's told the sunday times how his faith in the hindu religion has helped him during his time as prime minister how important is religious faith in politics, would you say? >> well, i think if you have faith, it's going to be massively important because it will affect everything you do and therefore it will affect your attitude towards your politics as well. and of course, faith gives you strength. faith

gives you confidence, faith is there when times are bad. so i can well believe that rishi has drawn comfort from his faith. as i do from mine, but it's fair to say there are politicians who do not have that level of faith, but who , you know, find their but who, you know, find their confidence elsewhere. but i personally, i would say faith every time the language in the times headline was notable, it said that rishi sunak admits to his religious faith. >> and does that imply there's something wrong with having faith? do you think there's a sneering attitude towards religion these days? >> an that's exactly what it implies . and that certainly sums implies. and that certainly sums up the attitude, of the chattering classes and of the metropolitan elite absolutely sums it up. will you admit to having faith there was a time when you'd have been embarrassed to admit to not having any. and yes, there is there's a sneering attitude , there's a patronising attitude, there's a patronising attitude. and that word admits, i'm amazed it got through the edhon i'm amazed it got through the

editor, quite honestly, because it says it all now. >> anne, i think you're away next week. we're going to miss you hugely. you are irreplaceable. but let's have a look at the calendar. we'll just fire that up. i think you will be with us virtually on the eve of the election. you'll be back on the 30th of june, days away from polling day , at which point from polling day, at which point we'll have an awful lot to discuss. so, anne, thank you for joining us. have a good week off and we'll catch you a two weeks today. my thanks to former government minister ann widdecombe. congratulations to england who have beaten serbia in the euros. we'll bring full reaction from tv news legend and manchester united superfan michael crick. that's plus tomorrow's papers with full pundh papers with full pundit reactions. see

reaction. in just a moment. to england's excellent one. nil. victory in the euros against serbia will be joined by tv news legend and manchester united superfan michael crick. but first, tomorrow's front pages .

first, tomorrow's front pages. okay, we'll start with the i newspaper . labour accused of newspaper. labour accused of watering down housing reform pledges a u—turn, as you said. surely not. labour criticised for rowing back on reforms to protect renters and boost home ownership. party manifesto pledges to increase support for first time buyers boost the number of affordable homes and introduce greater protections for people in the rented sector. but i analysis of the manifesto reveals that the detailed plans originally set out in its national policy forum document, have since been watered down. changes include omitting a target of increasing home ownership to 70. instead, a more general pledge to boost the amount of home owners a target to build 1.5 million homes and support 80,001st time buyers with mortgage guarantee schemes. okay, folks , well, that's the

okay, folks, well, that's the eye. let's head now to the guardian newspaper. new calls on starmer to discard the tories two child benefits limit. keir starmer is facing renewed pressure to scrap the two child benefit limits, as new research reveals that 250,000 more children will be hit by the policy over the next year alone . policy over the next year alone. also staggering inequality in schools, green space children at the top 250 english private schools have access to more than ten times as much outdoor space as those who go to state schools, according to exclusive guardian analysis . bellingham guardian analysis. bellingham gets england off to a winning start is the other story in the guardian and the metro , and they guardian and the metro, and they lead with gordon ramsay's cycling nightmare. i'm battered and bruised but still alive. gordon ramsay displayed a horrendous bruise from a cycling accident as he told fans that wearing a helmet saved his life .

wearing a helmet saved his life. well, we wish him a speedy recovery. i'm sure he did a bit of swearing when he fell off that bike, but he is a great guy and i hope he feels better soon. okay, let's get reaction to all of those front pages with my top punst of those front pages with my top pundits this evening . political pundits this evening. political commentator benedict spence, journalist and broadcaster emma burnell, and a brand new star on mark dolan tonight, labour party activist susie stride. lots of stories to get through. but how about this, susie? you might need to do some defending here. the i newspaper labour accused of watering down housing reform pledges. it's a u—turn already and they haven't even won yet. >> i mean, it's not. this is just. this is just the way the newspaper is painting this ultimately labour get into power. we're going to build 1.5 million new homes. we're going to build new new towns, which is fantastic . we're going to, you fantastic. we're going to, you know, what do they call it, the grey belt. we're going to explore building on the grey belt like wasteland and car parks, and also helping people with their mortgages . i mean, with their mortgages. i mean, look, i'm one of those people

that can get my what do you call it, your foot on the housing ladden it, your foot on the housing ladder, you know, and by miracle , me, we were able to. but like, lots of people can't. and we don't, you know, we can do better as a country. we can do better as a country. we can do better than this. and so, yes, this is a great headline for someone that wants to kind of, i don't know, twist what's going on here. the reality of what's going on here is we've had 14 years of actually devastation to the housing market. and the landscape of the housing market is about to change, and it's going to change for the better. and actually people need hope at the moment. and, you know, i think labour is actually offering hope when it comes to, yeah, housing. >> are you not worried about keir starmer's history of u—turns, which have happened without the pressure of daily office? do you not think he'll be very indecisive and flaky should he become prime minister? >> what do we mean by u—turns? any great leader change. look, i changed my mind on things. any great leader change. look, i changed my mind on things . i changed my mind on things. i actually think it's a sign of a great leader that you change minds equally. >> campaign for jeremy corbyn to be prime minister i mean, that's a bit of a can. >> i just say something? all of us that were in the labour party

at the time, we just had to get on with what was an appalling environment. but lots of lots of labour frontbenchers stepped down, which keir starmer did not do. what keir starmer and are they leader of the labour party? no. keir starmer keir starmer will go down as neil kinnock, who i've got so much love and respect for. he got us out of the hard left mess and actually, even though he tried to get that mess history, his history will look upon keir starmer and say you saved the labour party, which was good for democracy. whether you're right wing , left whether you're right wing, left wing, any wing, they're clapping him and saying, well done , him and saying, well done, because you got that hard left and some of it was , you know, and some of it was, you know, the anti—semitic stuff that's so much of it was damaging . much of it was damaging. >> but he campaigned for that hard left for a couple of years. >> no, do you know what? >> no, do you know what? >> i actually just think he did what he needed to do to get to the position for us to get to this position . and sometimes this position. and sometimes sometimes that's what you have to do. >> did he know that was going to happen? he's not mystic meg, is he? >> no, he's not mystic meg. i just think, look, you know, history tells us neil kinnock stood up at labour party

conference and he dealt with the hard left and we all look at me and say, you're a hero, neil kinnock, you're the hero. and keir starmer has done that job now. and so to be honest, we're all going to be eternally grateful to him. >> but i have to be honest with you, emma burnell have got plenty of viewers and listeners who don't trust keir starmer because of the number of times that he's changed his mind. so you're looking these housing targets and they're thinking, sounds great, why should i believe it? >> well, what i really like actually about this story is what's hidden beneath it. labour hasn't changed the target of the number of houses it's building. it's changed the 70% home ownership target. what that means is much more mixture of tenure, which includes social housing, which is what we desperately, desperately need more of in this country. i am very happy with that as a story, frankly. >> okay . >> okay. >> okay. >> what do you think about this? will labour fix the uk housing crisis? >> benedict i don't think they will. and if they do, then they'll be taking a very huge gamble because one of the major obstacles, actually, that we're not really discussing , to not really discussing, to housebuilding, which is a serious anchor drag on growth,

is the public. it's the voters. it's the people who on the one hand say we want there to be growth, but also very regularly vote against, any sort of building developments in their local constituencies. and that is a very large part of the problem. and one of the things that the labour party is going to face when they get all these new mps in who realise that their that their victory is effectively it's built on sand, it's not built on any sort of great ideological or ideological desire to see a labour government. it's built on just a desire not to see the conservatives. and for there to be something new, they are going to have to try, where possible, not to upset those voters, because if things start to go south very quickly, which for reasons outside of the control of the labour party, i think they probably will. the economic situation in this country is not good and it's not going to improve overnight. and that's largely for broader geopolitical reasons. however, they aren't going to want to then upset the people who have put them in, especially if those people were not particularly motivated by the idea of a labour government in the first place. now, one of the things that has been mooted is that sir keir starmer will try to force, through a building developments in some places, often against the wills of local

councils and local voters. how will those people react then , in will those people react then, in five years time, if the labour party come in and are seem to be going against which is, you know, the general attitude of the british voting public, which is that we need more houses and we need absolutely no houses near me. that is the great sort of the double standard that voters in this country have had for a very long time. it's one of the major issues that the conservatives encountered, and it is something that is going to be encountered by the labour party as well. they might be able to overcome that if they can make progress on other areas, but i don't see how they're going to be able to do this, and it is necessary without making some rather uncomfortable decisions that might lose them. voters in the process and emma burnell the i newspaper , let's be honest, is newspaper, let's be honest, is pretty favourable towards the labour party and they're already exposing what they consider to be a mini u—turn from the leader of the opposition. >> what about this in the guardian ? new calls on starmer guardian? new calls on starmer to discard the tories two child benefits limit . the civil war benefits limit. the civil war has already begun, hasn't it? >> well, i would say, i would dispute your, characterisation

of the i where it is now. it seems to be a little bit all over the place, it is owned, i believe, by a conservative peer, but, yeah . i mean, i think that but, yeah. i mean, i think that the thing on the two child benefit cap is real. that is a live discussion within the party. i think they should scrap it. frankly, it doesn't save enough money for the pain that it causes. and i totally get that. they're being ultra, ultra cautious and don't want to make any spending commitments. but sometimes you do have to nail your colours to the master. >> i think this means that the labour movement is not united around this important flagship policy, and we haven't had the election yet . it's not a good election yet. it's not a good sign, is it? >> look, people in political parties disagree more at 11. come on. you know , the labour come on. you know, the labour party is incredibly united behind wanting to get into government. there will be then discussions about what we do when we get there. but frankly, i think that the idea that we're anywhere like as disunited as the conservatives is for the

birds . birds. >> okay, listen, today is an awful anniversary because it marks eight years since the tragic murder of labour mp jo cox. now this after the murder of sir david amess in 2021. nigel farage just a couple of weeks ago, was doused with milkshake and last week pelted with rocks. and of course, labour candidate rosie duffield has said she won't be going to election hustings given her own safety is at risk because she has stood up for women's rights. do we need to do more, susie, to protect our politicians ? protect our politicians? >> lie—ins yeah, i think we do. i mean, look, i think one of the things that makes this country great is that we have, you know, we respect each other. no, i don't agree with nigel farage, but i respect you know, there's got to be that level of respect. we don't we do not behave in this way. what is going on at the moment with rosie is another level. i mean , i am disgusted level. i mean, i am disgusted with what is going on with rosie at the moment. and, you know, i think i mean, look, there are

there are bigger arguments here about regulation of social media. the, you know, and i mean, i don't have the expertise to say what needs to be done on that. but ultimately, as i say, one of the things that you know, i love about this country is actually this kind of freedom to speak about things we may not agree. we may disagree, but even if we disagree, i'm going to let you speak . you know, and you you speak. you know, and you know, i've run for election against, robert halfon. and there was this respect between us, you know, and so i'm just, you know, i'm deeply concerned by this. and i think we need to deal with i mean, people would call some of the behaviour against rosie like fascist behaviour actually. and i think we need to we need to come down hard on it. and you know, i don't know fully the answers, but i'm glad we're talking about it. yeah. >> most definitely. i mean, emma, do you think that mps, for example, should have 24 over seven police protection , an seven police protection, an armed bodyguard, for example? >> god, i wish i didn't think that. >> god, i wish i didn't think that . god, i wish >> god, i wish i didn't think that. god, i wish i didn't think that. god, i wish i didn't think that because one of the things i

love about british democracy and the difference between the way that it works and the way it works in, say, for example, united states is mps are normal. they're like you and me, they p0p they're like you and me, they pop into tesco for a bag of crisps. you know, they are in rooted in their communities and the more that we find that we need this kind of security, the worst that is. look, susie's walked the walk. she's actually stood up. i'm just talking the talk. but there are times when i've felt my, my, my safety threatened because i've said things that are not like online in particular. people have really gone for me . and i am really gone for me. and i am worried sometimes that that that will come offline . but in no way will come offline. but in no way have i gone through what i'm sure susie went through in harlow when she stood, i just i just think it's really, really important that we do not allow our political differences, however passionately we feel them to teeter over into political violence. and then separate our politics from our politics, from our people, most definitely. >> briefly, if you can. benedict, i remember when i was

about 18 and i went into a pub in westminster, long story, and john prescott was in there having a pint, i think at the time he was deputy prime minister. we still want that accessible city, don't we? but it looks like it's in peril. >> well, of course we do. but i mean, it's interesting that emma says we have a different tradition, a democratic tradition, a democratic tradition to the united states. but we do live culturally downstream of the united states. in a large part of that is because we share the same language, and we do for better and often for worse, import a lot of their cultural and political talking points. and you have to say, a lot of the so—called culture war talking points in this country have been accompanied by a real, i think, intolerance that is pervasive across us political culture. and we need to do our level best, actually, whatever the cultural issues themselves are, to stamp out that kind of behaviour , out that kind of behaviour, where it is, where it is tolerated, that actually they are not your political opponents, they are your ideological enemies, and you must crush your enemies . that's must crush your enemies. that's what you see in the united states now. we do not want it here. absolutely right. >> well, let me tell you, i love america, but i don't think we should become america. coming up, more of tomorrow's newspaper

front pages , the telegraph and front pages, the telegraph and the mail. plus, i'm delighted to say that england have won one nil their first game in the euros. they've beaten serbia . euros. they've beaten serbia. we'll get reaction from tv news legend and manchester united superfan michael crick

next. okay, let's have some more front pages. james, what have you got for me? let's have a look at the telegraph. labour's net zero plans contain a £45 billion tax black hole . labour's ban on new black hole. labour's ban on new nonh black hole. labour's ban on new north sea oil and gas will create a £45 billion black hole in the public finances that will have to be filled by higher taxes. the energy secretary, claire coutinho, has warned tony blair i get trans rights, but women's spaces must be secure. hey jude, jude bellingham has

got england off to a winning start in the euros. one nil and nato is in talks to deploy more nuclear weapons, says alliance chief. next up mail. has labour let the cat out of the bag on tax? labour's manifesto is not the sum total of its spending plans. wes streeting has conceded. the times go for the jugular, sunak urged. ministers say personal attacks on starmer are the only option as polls point to a catastrophic defeat . point to a catastrophic defeat. and the daily star, the hangover 1 million footie fans pull a sickie tomorrow after downing 30 million pints and 1 or 2 babies as england beat serbia one nil. i'll get reaction to that fantastic victory from michael crick in just a moment. but susie, can i just ask you about this story in the guardian? staggering inequality in schools, green space, children at the top 250 english private

schools have access to more than ten times as much outdoor space as those who go to state schools. this is according to exclusive research from the guardian. >> yeah, i mean, for me, i'm just i mean, i'm big on sport, i play just i mean, i'm big on sport, i play football, i play rugby, i think sport changes lives. i think sport changes lives. i think hopefully over the next ten years we're actually going to see a shift in sport taking more centre stage. but i mean this is a massive story of inequality, and i think i just think again, as a country we can do better than this. why why should it not be that if you're born in poplar or luton, that you have the same access to sport and green space as if you go to eton , you know, why is it go to eton, you know, why is it most our prime ministers come from eton? >> but isn't it because those private schools are headquartered where there is a lot of land? >> i mean, they just there's just a property that they've always inhabited and they happen to have green space on site. a lot of state schools are in city centre locations. there are plenty of private schools in city centre locations that also don't have green space. >> my kids, my kids, sorry. primary school. >> that's one hell of a my

sort of, serbia sort of came back towards the end of the first half. and the second half, we were under the cosh for a lot of it. >> and i was thinking, oh no, it's going to be the same old, same old, you know, it's going to be another draw in the opening game against a lesser team or even a defeat. >> but somehow we managed to hold on, with a great save from, jason pickford and a great clearance off the line from, harry kane. and, you know, we got the result. we got we, you know , in the european know, in the european championship, we normally start with a bad result . well, this with a bad result. well, this time we started with a good result, but it wasn't a totally convincing performance. >> michael, can we win the tournament ? yes. yes, i don't tournament? yes. yes, i don't think we will, but we can. i mean, there are about, you know, there are six teams that could. and we, you know, we've got some superb players these days. i mean, you know, jude bellingham. absolutely. world class. harry kane's still there. we got, you know obviously phil foden although we didn't see much of him tonight. the manchester city player i hate to say it and kobe

manu of united. he came on as a late sub. so you know it looks promising in that regard. but you know , that's been the story you know, that's been the story of so many tournaments that we've had. we've looked promising and it's all gone wrong in the end. but i think gareth southgate is a is a great manager. he has a spirit about his england teams that we saw in the world cup. two years ago, the world cup. two years ago, the european championship last time round when england got to the final. so, you know, it could happen, but, you know, there's a sort of one in 1 in 5 chance, i suppose, that england will win the tournament. >> meanwhile, labour look odds on for victory on july the 4th. but a couple of cracks appearing. daily mail michael crick has labour let the cat out of the bag on tax wes streeting doing the sunday morning rounds. laura kuenssberg on the bbc saying that their manifesto is not the sum total of its spending plans. your reaction ? spending plans. your reaction? >> well, i mean, we all knew that, didn't we? and i think the

pubuc that, didn't we? and i think the public know that. and, you know, let's be honest, the public, hardly anybody reads the manifestos. i haven't got round to reading the manifestos yet because i've been too busy working on other things . and working on other things. and there was a time, you know, where you could, you could you'd go into wh smiths in an election, and they'd be piled up on the desk at the, at the counter, and you could buy them for a shilling or something . for a shilling or something. well, that's 50 years ago. i was a schoolboy. no longer, and i don't i think maybe the public dip in and out, but they've they know that there's going to have to be, spending cuts, extra taxes, and they know that labour has been, you know, less than honest about this. but people are still keen to vote labour, even though they're not they're not keen to vote labour with any enthusiasm. have you seen the difference? they want to vote labour because they hate the conservatives. they want to get labour out. i mean, sorry, the conservatives out . i mean, the conservatives out. i mean, the interesting thing is, have you seen on television in this election ? i certainly haven't election? i certainly haven't seen a single vox pop with a voter saying , oh yes, i love voter saying, oh yes, i love keir starmer. i think he's a wonderful guy. he's so exciting.
