the top stories from the gb newsroom . julian assange says it newsroom. julian assange says it is surreal to be back on australian soil after his years long struggle for freedom came to an end. a warning the following contains flashing images. the 52 year old wikileaks founder touched down in canberra today, where he was greeted by his father and greeted by his father and greeted by his wife, stella. she says he'll need time to rediscover freedom while his lawyer described his homecoming as a huge win for free speech. the australian prime minister, anthony albanese, thanked the uk and the us for supporting the international effort. >> i do want to express my appreciation to the united states and the united kingdom for their efforts in making this possible, he described it as a surreal and happy moment. he's landing here in our national caphal landing here in our national capital, canberra, he expressed his thanks to what he described as the diplomatic a—team, when i

spoke about the role that , kevin spoke about the role that, kevin and steven have been able to play. >> in other news, a couple who were accused of the manslaughter of their baby daughter will face a retrial. aristocrat constance marten and her partner, mark gordon, were found guilty at the old bailey of concealing the birth of a child and perverting the course of justice. their newborn daughter, victoria, was found dead on an allotment in brighton in march last year. both are facing a retrial on other charges . scotland other charges. scotland secretary alister jack insists he hasn't broken any rules after he hasn't broken any rules after he admitted to placing three bets on the date of the general election. the cabinet minister says he had no inside knowledge of when the election would take place , despite previously place, despite previously revealing that he'd made more than £2,000 from the bet. he later dismissed that claim as a joke. mrjack becomes later dismissed that claim as a joke. mr jack becomes the seventh person to become embroiled in the scandal with just a week until voters head to the polls, labour leader sir

keir starmer says the tories have taken too long to deal with the scandal. >> i made very clear that if any of my candidates was being investigated in relation to the gambling commission, i'd remove them straight away, which is what i've done. that's in a sharp contrast to rishi sunak, who took days and days and days before he took action. as a wider story here about the choice that the general election next week between carrying on with what we've had for the last 14 years or so, the inaction by rishi sunak is just absolutely in keeping with the way that they've governed for 14 years, or turning the page and starting to rebuild the country . to rebuild the country. >> spanish police have released new footage in their search for missing british teenager jay slater. it shows the helicopter scouring the mountainous area , scouring the mountainous area, with search teams also on foot, having been joined by sniffer dogs. the guardia civil say their efforts are not being scaled back. the 19 year old

went missing ten days ago now whilst on holiday on the spanish island . early morning calls to island. early morning calls to gp practices in an effort to lock in limited appointments could become the thing of the past. under plans to bolster the nhs app, labour says its plan would see the app updated to encompass several health professionals, including gps, physiotherapists and dentists, to make securing an appointment simple and easy. the party says 5 million people tried and failed to get a gp appointment every month last year. failed to get a gp appointment every month last year . the every month last year. the liberal democrats have announced a plan to give every cancer patient a dedicated specialist nurse, to support them throughout their treatment . it throughout their treatment. it would see nearly 3500 new nurses recruited across england, doubung recruited across england, doubling the existing workforce. by doubling the existing workforce. by the end of the next parliament. the party's leader, sir ed davey, says it's a crucial step towards fixing the nhs. >> waiting times are the worst they've ever been and many millions of people have had experience of this. either their

loved ones or a friend. i lost both my parents to cancer, so this is very personal to me, but it will mean an awful lot to many, many people. so we've got to cut those waiting times, both for diagnostic but particularly for diagnostic but particularly for treatment, where we've not had much success under the conservatives and now idea today goesin conservatives and now idea today goes in line with our desire to increase the number of radiology machines, radiotherapy treatments and all the equipment that's needed to make sure we can have the best cancer care in the world. >> and vice admiral sir tim lawrence says the princess royal is recovering slowly as he left a bristol hospital after visiting his wife. today, the princess is understood to have been injured by a horse while out walking on her estate on sunday evening, but she suffered some memory loss and the exact circumstances of how she was hurt aren't known. however, she is expected to make a full recovery. for the latest stories, sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen or go to gb news

common alerts. now it's back to . martin. >> thank you tatiana. we've got absolutely loads to get stuck into, so let's get rocking . now into, so let's get rocking. now we start with the betting scandal that has cast a huge shadow over this general election campaign. and it's just getting bigger and bigger and bigger now. two tory candidates and one labour candidate have been suspended by their parties, andifs been suspended by their parties, and it's now being claimed that as many as 15 conservative candidates and officials are now officially under investigation by the gambling commission over bets on the date of the general election. it rolls on and on, and i'm joined by gb news political correspondent katherine forster catherine, welcome to the show. so until now, this was a conservative blight. now the labour party have been dragged in. kevin craig, a candidate, bet on the tories. he bet against himself.

tell us more . tell us more. >> yes. good afternoon martin. you really couldn't make some of this up, could you? that's right. yesterday afternoon, just as labour had been congratulating themselves that this was an only a conservative problem, and the new news broke that kevin craig, who had been a labour candidate, had been booted out of the for party allegedly placing a bet that he was going to lose in his quest to be elected . now, today i've to be elected. now, today i've been with labour. i'm here in nottingham ahead of the head to head debate tonight, but i've been with sir keir starmer and the shadow health secretary, wes streeting, at a doctor's surgery where what they want us all to be talking about is gp appointments and how they're going to fix that 8 am. scramble. but of course what we are talking about is gamble gate. so sir keir starmer was

asked , if he thought there might asked, if he thought there might be other labour candidates who had placed bets and what he would do about those. if so, let's have a look first at what he had to say . he had to say. >> i made very clear that if any of my candidates was being investigated in relation to the gambling commission, i'd removed them straight away , which is them straight away, which is what i've done. that's in a sharp contrast to rishi sunak, who took days and days and days before he took action as a wider story here about the choice that the general election next week . the general election next week. >> so sir keir starmer, very keen to stress how long the prime minister took to suspend his two conservative candidates that are under investigation in the case of craig williams, his former parliamentary private secretary, somebody that he was very close to, that was actually two weeks. sir keir starmer was also asked if he'd ever made a

political bet. he said he hadn't all he'd ever bet on is the horses, but also that he didn't feel there was a need for the rules to change that the public completely understand what is and is not acceptable, and the problem is the politicians. so sure it is a labour problem too, but i don't think it's in any way of the same magnitude as that that's engulfing the conservatives because of course, at the heart of the conservatives is the allegation that several i think five, people close to the prime minister or close to people close to the prime minister had inside information that this is effectively a bit like insider trading, trading. they knew when the general election was going to be, and they placed a bet to make some money on it. so of those, we've got the two conservative candidates suspended. that's craig williams, laura saunders, her husband was the conservative

campaign director. he's taken a leave of absence . the leave of absence. the conservative chief data officer also taken a leave of absence . also taken a leave of absence. and, a member of the welsh parliament. russell george, the deputy conservative whip , also deputy conservative whip, also has stepped back from his role because he too is being investigated by the gambling commission. now one cabinet minister, alister jack, the scottish secretary, has admitted to placing bets on the timing of the election but saying that was back in april, he didn't have any inside knowledge. he's done nothing wrong. he's not being investigated. but really, you know , rishi sunak has not know, rishi sunak has not succeeded in closing the gap with labour at all. they've had disaster after disaster, beginning with the rain that day, d—day. we spent days talking about that. we're spending days and days talking about gamble gate. this is the

last thing he needs. and in the debate tonight, i think we're going to be hearing a whole lot more about it. >> beautiful stuff. well, the chips are down tonight in my home city there of nottingham looking beautiful. thanks for joining us katherine forster on the campaign trail now joined now in the studio by the former labour minister denis macshane. denis, welcome to the show . denis, welcome to the show. always a pleasure. did you ever bet on politics or on yourself? >> once on the morning of the brexit referendum, there was in the bbc sort of gobbing away early in the morning and in comes a professor, anand menon, who's one of the great experts in europe. and i said to him, adam, what's the result going to be today? and he said , denis, be today? and he said, denis, i know the english. they'll bottle it. they won't dare vote to leave. since i've written a book a year before saying that they would to vote leave, i listened to him and went straight out to paddy power and put i think £50 on it and got didn't get very much. and you got it wrong. he got no. i said that they would vote to leave. >> oh why. >> oh why. >> no, no, i didn't want them to

leave . leave. >> but i didn't trust alan's judgement. i knew david cameron and nick clegg in charge of the campaign. there was no chance we would win. so there we are. otherwise, no. and i think as, catherine, your reporter, has just said, the problem isn't so much candidates betting on themselves. i think that's gone right back to sort of charles stuart , fox and gladstone and stuart, fox and gladstone and everybody. but it's when you had inside information and it's part of this sort of semi seediness sleaziness, i mean, not i mean, rishi sunak is so rich. he doesn't need to be sleazy, but there are a lot of people around him who have just been made quietly making bits and pieces of money. and we think of the covid, protective equipment scandals and so on. and this is just the last straw. the last example before we all go and vote in a week or two and, you know , i just think he should know, i just think he should never have come back. >> he's not really a proper politician. >> well, dennis, i'm delighted that finally some good for you came from brexit because you've complained about it since 2016. so here we are. you've got a few

bob off the back of it, so smiles all round . ed davey smiles all round. ed davey admitted he bet in 2010 and he lost. he said he called himself a serial loser. his words, not mine. is it time to just have a blanket ban about betting in politics? they're talking about doing the same as happened in cricket or in football. but then you've got kevin craig, the labour candidate. he bet against himself. he bet on the conservatives to win that you can't affect the outcome of that. this is a bit of a flutter, wasn't it? you're allowed to have a flutter unless , as you said, the key difference is you have insider information ahead of the public and then you're clearly bending the rules. >> that's true. but it's always best i thought, to on the safe side. i don't know much about betting or horse racing, but i think a lot more happens than, say in other sports. so would i bet on gareth southgate winning the euro cup? not sure , but i the euro cup? not sure, but i presume if somebody groom or somebody from stables goes in and says, here's £500 on this horse , then if it's known that

horse, then if it's known that he's the groom , it really he's the groom, it really wouldn't be allowed. and i think it'd be just a lot healthier if politics could clean up so much of its funny money business. >> we thought all that was done and dusted ten years ago. >> not. it's back and it's bad. and i would hope keir starmer, when he becomes pm, just sets an example. >> and dennis, do you think this is part of a deeper malaise, a deeper rot that the electorate have got. they look at this carry on the shenanigans, the amount of money involved is crumbs compared to what these people earn , and certainly people earn, and certainly compared to the grand scheme of things , but they're just in it things, but they're just in it for themselves. does it does it cast this wider thing that we need to drain the swamp to , to need to drain the swamp to, to quote that sort of trumpian thing, there's a huge dissatisfaction with political parties across the board. is this just saying they're just a bunch of charlatans? >> i think it doesn't help. i mean , trump arguing it is just mean, trump arguing it is just silly, given his record in so many areas women, money, anything. but i do think that

there is a problem that it used to be said we want politicians should be purer than thou should be. >> absolutely insane . >> absolutely insane. >> absolutely insane. >> sea green incorruptibles as it was once said of robespierre . it was once said of robespierre. and i think getting back to that, a bit of puritanism, perhaps wouldn't be a bad thing. >> and what the honey trap scandal that's going on? there's just all sorts of walking out, and a lot of tories are going to lose their seats. >> i expect in the next week or two how big the so—called landslide victory is. i've still got a tiny question mark in my mind , but that's just long, mind, but that's just long, bitter experience. but they're going to walk out then and expect directorships, advisory consultancies, working for pubuc consultancies, working for public affairs companies and that hiring fair if it does happen after the election, will further discredit the conservative party. and again, i don't know who the new leaders of the conservative party will be, but i hope they would just try and clean it up.

>> okay. denis macshane, thanks very much for joining >> okay. denis macshane, thanks very much forjoining us and i hope you spent that brexit money very, very unwisely. now moving on. surely the biggest question here is what does the great british public make of this betting scandal debacle? has it got what politicians and pollsters call cut through, which means it will affect the way that people vote? or is it not really matter at all to them, or to find out the answer ? them, or to find out the answer? gb news went out and about in bolton earlier on to get the views of the locals there. >> well, it would do if it concerns each individual person . concerns each individual person. >> yeah, we should have rights to say what's what or what we want to do. >> i shouldn't be stopped from what i want to do, well, i think you have to think about, responsibility and integrity, and that's what we expect from politicians in this country at the moment. and a lot of people asking the questions, whether they are being honest with us

and things like that. so i think we i think we should be concerned about it. yeah, definitely. >> yes it does. i think it's wrong. yeah. >> and what is it about it that you think is wrong. >> well, they shouldn't be allowed to do it because it's allowed to do it because it's all inside and nobody else can do it. only them. >> it doesn't shock me. surprise me, no, not at all. >> it's just what they do. i think people now are not bothered whether they get caught or not. >> yeah, because there shouldn't be any scandals with government. >> that's what the. >> that's what the. >> you know what you meaning. yeah. it's terrible. it's all wrong . wrong. >> i expect it does. >> i expect it does. >> i expect it does. >> i think they should be setting an example and they're not doing that yourself. >> yeah. the same i mean you just don't know what goes on. >> and you know, if they try and get other people to stop gambling or whatever, then obviously it should . everything obviously it should. everything should apply to them in parliament. you know, we've got to abide by the rules, aren't we? so why shouldn't they ? we? so why shouldn't they? >> if you want the answer , ask >> if you want the answer, ask the great british public, the people of bolton . they're people of bolton. they're nailing it. one rule for them.

one rule for us. they should be on a higher standard, not on a lower plane. i love the british public. they always get it right . let's see how they vote on this and other matters now. we'll have lots more on the betting scandal throughout the show. and there's plenty of coverage on our website, gbnews.com. and you've helped to make it the fastest growing national news website in the country. now it's the final week to see how you could win our summer giveaway. 15 grand cash tax free and a whole host of treats on top now. lines close at 5:00 on friday to make sure that you don't miss out. and here's all the details that you need to enter. >> it's the final week to see how you can win big this summer. first, there's a totally tax free £15,000 in cash to make your summer spectacular. spend that extra cash. however you like. you'll also win a brand new iphone. apple airpods. and if that wasn't enough, a £500 voucher to spend at your favourite uk attraction, you have to hurry as lines close at

this is

gb news. >> and we are britain's election channel. >> this vote may seem to be about the politicians and the media, but it's actually about you. we won't forget that , jonas. >> up and down the country as we follow every moment together. >> more than ever, it's important to hear all sides as you make your decision in the run up to polling day. >> this is gb news. the people's channel >> this is gb news. the people's channel, britain's election . channel. >> welcome back. it's 3:25. i'm martin daubney on gb news now. later this hour i'll be joined by an england legend . after yet by an england legend. after yet another another pitiful performance by gareth southgate's england side last night. incredibly, we're still the bookies favourites to win the bookies favourites to win the tournament. how, in the name of god , how? moving on, the of god, how? moving on, the liberal democrats have pledged to double the number of specialist cancer nurses, and sir ed davey says it would help

the uk offer the best cancer care in the world. >> it's about putting nhs and care at the top of our list of priorities in this election. we've been doing that from the start. only the liberal democrats have got a plan to rescue our nhs and to invest in social care and care, and within that plan, cancer treatments being really big part of it. and today we're talking about doubung today we're talking about doubling the number of specialist cancer nurses over this parliament. that's another 3400. and i think that's important because cancer waiting times are the worst they've ever been. and many millions of people have had experience of this, either their loved ones or a friend. i lost both my to parents cancer, so this is very to personal me, but it will mean an awful lot to many, many people. so we've got to cut those waiting times, both for diagnostic but particularly for treatment where we've not had much success under the conservatives. and our idea today goes in line with our desire to increase the number of

radiology machines, radiotherapy screens and all the equipment that's needed to make sure we can have the best cancer care in the world. >> and don't miss our big interview with sir ed davey this evening. he'll speak to our political editor, christopher hope, in our vote 2024 the leader's special. and that's from 7:00 this evening. live here on gb news. now, you've been getting in touch in your droves already about the two big topics of the day. the betting scandal. does it matter? are you completely fed up of it? a few people are saying it's tittle tattle. why are journalists so obsessed with it? and yet when we just took to the streets of bolton earlier on and put it to the great british public, they really do care about it and they care about it because it says this. it says one rule for them, one rule for the rest of us. it says, do as i say, not as i do. i think that's the big issue here. look, i was a candidate in

three national elections. i bet on myself in all of them. i lost twice. i was a bookies dream , i twice. i was a bookies dream, i won once. politicians do bet on themselves. but that's a punt. that's a punt on yourself if you fancy your chances. it's not insider information because politicians generally see the same polling as the public. in fact, often they see it later than the public. but this was different . it was insider different. it was insider trading. it was being told a date of an election before the general public, before the rest of the party. that's the difference. now, the labour party candidate getting dragged into this, kevin craig, he's an old sparring partner of mine. you might remember him from this channel. he was often on dewbs& co. he was a starmer loyalist and he was involved in a cash for candidacy. huha allegedly donated a chunk of money to the labour party in return, not in return for. but he was favoured for a seat. he's been, suspended

from the party now. i think this is the keir starmer acting tough. he's trying to show sir keir starmer he's trying to show rishi sunak. i beg your pardon? what rishi sunak should have done. but didn't. so does it matter to you whether there are two stories that really cut through in this election campaign? one of them is the d—day debacle , rishi sunak d—day debacle, rishi sunak leaving early. that really , leaving early. that really, really did bother you so much so that rishi sunak suspended campaigning for a day to let that die down, that cut through this story. likewise has cut through. when you go out there and you talk to voters, it's like they earn so much money. politicians, why do they need to mess around with a few hundred quid here and there? insider trading goes down really, really badly. now, the other topic i want to ask you about is the football. and again, a lot of people saying this is really boring. you're right. it is really boring. that's the point. we were promised that we were aiming for the sun. we were promised a golden future is part

of the problem that the media, the punditry, the fa, the wokerati, the entire establishment were team southgate because of his laudable stance. you might think on anti—racism when he kicked back over those england stars missing penalties and they got all that online abuse, he became an anti—racism campaigner. he took the knee , he became the took the knee, he became the king of woke, the patron saint of woke. but is that a football manager's job, or is it the job to go out there and win football matches? is it a step too far ? matches? is it a step too far? has southgate bitten off more than he can chew ? should he get than he can chew? should he get the boot? let me know your thoughts. all the usual ways gbnews.com/yoursay. there's lots more still to come between now and 4:00, and we'll cross live to glastonbury , where people to glastonbury, where people have started to arrive. as you can see out of the world's one of the world's biggest music festivals and this year looks like it won't be a total mudbath the first, it's time for your latest news headlines with

representation system, that alba will be able to clock in 15% of scottish msps. but certainly between now and then , well, between now and then, well, there's in seven days from tomorrow. there's a poll for westminster now. and neale hanvey, he's the current westminster leader of alba, and he seems to think that the fight is on for a number of seats. the last time i spoke to him , alba last time i spoke to him, alba had about 12 candidates lined up and now they are putting 19 on the ballot papers around scotland and indeed around the country, with a lot of people feeling disillusioned by the snp's drive towards independence, should they themselves support independence? well, alba, is that true scottish alternative now at a chance to even sit down with alex salmond a little while after that? and, you know, i was i was a little shocked because he started, you know, following a question for me about the differences north and south of the border this election. he

started to draw some comparisons with reform and being that radical party and being the thorn in the side of the political establishment. and of course, to i had ask him, has he had a flutter? here's what he said. >> challenge of parties. >> challenge of parties. >> take ages to get noticed by the conventional media. >> in that situation, like before the by—election, we had excluded from everything. >> now , once we register results >> now, once we register results which were about to do , then which were about to do, then we'll crowd our way in. will the establishment like it or not, every political establishment will crowd out every insurgent force, all it can to keep it off the screens, off the media, to keep it out of sight, out of mind. of course, for us, you know, we've got this great target that in two years time we have a proportional ballot. our target is to get 15% of the vote in that ballot, gets 24 mps will be part of a nationalist majority in the scottish parliament, and probably part of the nationalist government. >> you had a flutter in this election. >> i had a bet not on politics,

but on the horses . yesterday but on the horses. yesterday when i was campaigning in maryhill in glasgow as an example to these greedy, grasping elements of the tory party and donating the entire winnings to the labour party's campaign fund . campaign fund. >> well, there we have it. we can always rely on alex salmond to have a bit of a tongue in cheek response at the conservative party's expense. but indeed, you know, he was looking quite comfortable. a lot of policies there that alba has fought tooth and nail for and stood fast beside over the last few years , saving grangemouth few years, saving grangemouth refinery, providing a future for workers in the oil and gas sector and of course , something sector and of course, something we have come to know them quite closely over the last two years. protecting women's rights. and so very interesting to see how much of a dent they make in the electorate next week . electorate next week. >> okay. tony mcguire, live from dundee.thank >> okay. tony mcguire, live from dundee. thank you very much for that update on the alba party's manifesto launch. thank you. now we're going to cross live to tenerife on day ten of the search for the missing british

extraordinary rumour, of fresh information backed up by a local mayor. tell us more . mayor. tell us more. >> yeah. the rumour going around now that a local mayor in the area has seen jay at, in a bar watching the euro games. again unsubstantiated, but this is coming from a member of office. >> and, yeah, you've got to listen. >> i imagine the police are investigating that area now. i think it was santiago del teide, which is the closest town to masca closest large town. anyway >> and that is a significant piece of information. but as you say, if it's not substantiated, if it's a bit of hearsay, there's no actual footage, no actual proof. it could simply be hearsay and could be very distressing to friends and family . family. >> it could, i mean, to be honest, all through this case has been a lot of this kind of conspiracy theory or suspicion or, what you want to call it,

that has upset the family. the family shut down their facebook page for a while because all these, armchair, if you like , these, armchair, if you like, detective kind of suspicions, this could yet be another one. but obviously the police have to follow up on on anything and everything, because there's really not much to go on at the moment, but the fact as you say, that a local mayor, as you say, of santiago del teide, is, is backing this up. it gives it a bit of credence and it gives it that substantial body of evidence which makes it seem more trustworthy, more relevant. and yet it seems to be pure hearsay . hearsay. >> well, it does, merely because it is the mayor. mayor, like you said, martin, it has to be looked into. like all leads, i guess, i would imagine that he would have been seen by locals. the police would have been there fairly quickly if he was seen . fairly quickly if he was seen. but it's like you said, it's kind of bizarre.

mcgivern . mcgivern. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on gb news >> hi there. welcome back to the latest update from the met office for gb news. it's another hot one out there for many of us and it is going to stay warm overnight. love it or hate it, it's the peak of the heat today and it is turning fresher from the west. as we go through the next 24 hours. there's this unseasonably deep low approaches that's going to turn things wetter and windier in places. but for scotland and northern ireland, we haven't got the hot weather at the moment. it's already turning more changeable here and that cooler but more cloudy weather pushes into western england and wales overnight, along with a few spots of rain. meanwhile, we keep the warmth across the midlands, eastern and southern england. temperatures overnight staying at 17 or 18 celsius. so perhaps for some of us, another

uncomfortable night for sleeping. but it's the last night with these high temperatures before the change starts to take place, and you can see the difference as we begin thursday 15 celsius in the west, 20 celsius with some sunshine in east anglia. across northern england, skies starting to brighten up just a few showers. clearing north—east scotland sees some heavy downpours across the northern isles. first thing they do slowly peel away during the morning and early afternoon. brighter skies for eastern scotland but for western scotland but for western scotland and northern ireland, it's turning increasingly wet and we've got some heavy showers with blustery winds. unseasonably windy. in fact, dunng unseasonably windy. in fact, during the afternoon across northwestern parts of the uk , northwestern parts of the uk, that breeze coming in from the west will sweep the early cloud through. but return temperatures closer to average across the country. that means low teens in the south, but still the chance of a 25 or 26 degrees in the east of england high teens further north and not feeling very pleasant at all. where we've got the wet and windy

weather across western scotland and northern ireland, that's going to continue into thursday night. some showers for eastern scotland, northern england but largely dry further south. and actually the weekend's looking reasonable. there'll be some sunshine around, temperatures a little lower but mostly that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb. >> very good afternoon to you.

it's 4:00 pm. and welcome to the martin daubney show on gb news. we're broadcasting live from the heart of westminster. all across the uk. on today's show, the betting scandal rolls on and on. with up to 15 tories now being investigated by the gambling commission. now a labour candidate has also been

suspended after betting on the tories to win. keir starmer says this is materially different. but does this whole sorry saga show that they're all just in it for themselves? nigel farage has doubled down on his controversial remarks on ukraine, saying president zelenskyy should talk peace or risk losing every young ukrainian man. and with donald trump's closest advisers proposing to cut arms to ukraine to help end the war. if he's elected, is it time to sit down and talk to putin? and after last night's border with slovenia, when england fans booed the england manager off the park and lobbed plastic pipe bombs at him, is it time to finally admit we need to sack gareth southgate? i'll chew that fat with the england, everton and rangers legend trevor steven. and that's all coming up in your next hour. welcome the

show. always a delight to have your company. so the gambling farce rolls on and on and on. are you bored of this? is it a storm in a teacup, or is it actually an indication of politicians simply in it for themselves? their snouts are in themselves? their snouts are in the trough. one rule for them and one rule for us. gareth southgate is he out of his depth? nil nil a border all last night. just heard that phil foden has left the england camp to fly home due to a pressing family matter. will that make a choice easier for gareth southgate to play bellingham and not foden? or is that another thing that simply turns you off? well, at least the weather's good. get in touch, you'll use your waze gbnews.com/yoursay now your waze gbnews.com/yoursay now your headlines with polly middlehurst . middlehurst. >> the news at just after 4:00. the driver of a car that crashed into a school, killing two eight

year old little girls, will face no criminal charges. nia, sajjad and celina law died after the crash at the school in wimbledon in july last year. it was found the driver had suffered an epileptic seizure behind the wheel. >> she's expressed her deepest sorrow and said she has no recollection of what took place. the parents of the girls killed said they remain unconvinced that the investigation has been conducted thoroughly, and that noufia conducted thoroughly, and that nouria and celina deserved better . better. >> meanwhile, a woman has reportedly climbed onto the roof of the conservative party's election battle bus in nottinghamshire. she's been named as amy rudge. easy. it's thought that she held up a flag reading clean power, not paddy power, while displaying the greenpeace logo. she apparently climbed onto the roof of the coach using a ladder. now julian assange says it's surreal to be back on australian soil after his years long struggle for freedom came to an end yesterday. a warning the following imagery does contain

flashing images. >> if you're watching on tv, the 52 year old wikileaks founder touched down in canberra today, where he was greeted by his father and his wife , stella. father and his wife, stella. >> she says he'll need time to rediscover freedom, while his lawyer described his homecoming as a huge win for free speech. the australian prime minister, anthony albanese, thanked the uk and the united states for supporting the international effort . effort. >> i do want to express my appreciation to the united states and the united kingdom for their efforts in making this possible , he described it as possible, he described it as a surreal and happy moment. he's landing here in our national caphal landing here in our national capital, canberra , he expressed capital, canberra, he expressed his thanks to what he described as the diplomatic a—team , when as the diplomatic a—team, when i spoke about the role that, kevin and steven have been able to play and steven have been able to play . play. >> now, a couple who are accused

of the manslaughter of their baby face a trial. retrial? in fact, the aristocrat constance marten and her partner, mark gordon, were found guilty at the old bailey of concealing the birth of a child and perverting the course of justice. >> their newborn daughter , >> their newborn daughter, victoria, was found dead on an allotment in brighton in march last year. >> both are facing a retrial on other charges . now. the scotland other charges. now. the scotland secretary, alister jack, insists he hasn't broken any rules after he hasn't broken any rules after he admitted to placing three bets on the date of the election . the cabinet minister says he had no inside knowledge of when the election would take place, despite previously revealing he'd made more than £2,000 from the bet he later dismissed that claim as a joke. mrjack becomes the seventh person to become embroiled in the scandal, with just a week until voters head to the polls. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, says the tories have taken too long to deal with the scandal . deal with the scandal. >> i made very clear that if any of my candidates was being investigated in relation to the gambling commission, i'd removed

them straight away, which is what i've done. that's in a sharp contrast to rishi sunak, who took days and days and days before he took action as a wider story here about the choice that the general election next week between carrying on with what we've had for the last 14 years or so, the inaction by rishi sunakis or so, the inaction by rishi sunak is just absolutely in keeping with the way that they've governed for 14 years, or turning the page and starting to rebuild the country . to rebuild the country. >> so keir starmer now spanish police have released new footage in their search for the missing teenager, jay slater. it shows a helicopter scouring the mountainous area above tenerife with search teams on foot, having been joined by sniffer dogs. just yesterday, the guardia civil say their efforts are not being scaled back. the 19 year old brit went missing ten days ago whilst on holiday on the spanish island . early on the spanish island. early morning calls to gp practices in an effort to lock in limited appointments could become a

thing of the past. under plans to bolster the nhs app, labour says its plan would see the app updated to encompass several health professionals, including gps, physiotherapists and dentists, to make securing an appointment simple and easy. the party says 5 million people tried and failed to get a gp appointment every month last year. appointment every month last year . the liberal democrats have year. the liberal democrats have announced a plan to give every cancer patient a dedicated specialist nurse, to support them through their treatment. that would see nearly 3500 new nurses recruited across england , nurses recruited across england, doubung nurses recruited across england, doubling the existing workforce by the end of the next parliament. the party's leader, sir ed davey, says it's a crucial step towards fixing the nhs, waiting times are the worst they've ever been , and many they've ever been, and many millions of people have had experience of this, either their loved ones or a friend. >> i lost both my to parents cancen >> i lost both my to parents cancer, so this is very to personal me, but it will mean an awful lot to many, many people.

so we've got to cut those waiting times, both for diagnostic but particularly for treatment where we've not had much success under the conservatives and now idea today goesin conservatives and now idea today goes in line with our desire to increase the number of radiology machines, radiotherapy and all the equipment that's needed to make sure we can have the best cancer care in the world. >> vice admiral sir tim laurence says his wife, the princess royal says his wife, the princess royal, is recovering slowly as he left a bristol hospital after visiting her. the princess is understood to have been injured by a horse whilst out walking on her estate on sunday evening, but she suffered some memory loss in the exact circumstances of how she was hurt. aren't known. however, she is expected to make a full recovery. that's the news for the latest stories to sign up to gb news alerts, scan the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. common shirts. >> thank you polly. now there's

loads to get our teeth stuck into. so let's get cracking and we start with the betting scandal that has cast a huge shadow over this election campaign. once again, it won't go away. it's just getting bigger and bigger. two tory candidates and one labour candidates and one labour candidate have now been suspended by their parties , and suspended by their parties, and it's now being claimed that as many as 15 conservative candidates and officials are under investigation by the gambling commission over bets on the date of the general election. this story just rumbles on and on. i'm now joined by gb news political correspondent katherine forster. catherine, until now, this was a scandal that had embroiled the conservatives. now the labour party have been dragged into it. kevin craig, a candidate astonishingly betting on the tories to win . tories to win. >> yes. good afternoon martin, you couldn't make this stuff up, really, could you, sir keir starmer and the shadow health secretary, wes streeting, were in leicestershire earlier. i was with them. they wanted to talk

about doctors appointments, but all the questions of course, about this and let's take a look first at what sir keir starmer had to say. >> i made very clear that if any of my candidates was being investigated in relation to the gambling commission, i'd remove them straight away, which is what i've done. that's in a sharp contrast to rishi sunak, who took days and days and days before he took action as a wider story here about the choice that the general election next week. >> so sir keir starmer, they're very keen to stress how quickly he had acted in comparison to the prime minister, who had taken two weeks to suspend craig williams as a candidate. he of course, had worked in number 10 very closely with the prime minister as his parliamentary private secretary. and sir keir starmer also said that he had never placed a political bet that he only bets on the horses. also, he doesn't feel that the

rules need to change to basically forbid mps from making bets so bad for labour. certainly i think considerably worse for the conservatives because of the numbers of people under investigation, because of the very clear suggestion that several of them had inside knowledge, a bit akin to insider trading. clearly out of order. this story is having huge, huge cut through, with the public now , tonight there will be the final head to head debate. keir starmer and rishi sunak here in nottingham. but labour's problems are not over either, because it has emerged. we heard earlier about the arrest in islington this morning, connected with the westminster honey trap scandal that broke a couple of months ago, and basically it cost william wragg, who was then a prominent conservative mp the whip,

because he had been trapped basically into sending images that he shouldn't have sent to somebody posing as abby or charlie and quite a few mps and others were targeted . now, we've others were targeted. now, we've never known who was at the bottom of this, but we hear that someone has been arrested and in the last hour or so, we've also heard from the labour party . and heard from the labour party. and gb news understands the labour party was notified today of the arrest of a party member in islington. the labour party immediately administratively suspended the individual from membership of the party. unable to comment further due to an ongoing police investigation. so we know a labour party member suspended in islington. we know from the police someone was arrested in islington over these honey trap allegations. so

something potentially very, very bad for labour coming down the line. >> thank you catherine for the live from nottingham ahead of that final leaders debate. now let's move on. i'm joined now by phillip blonde who's the former adviser to david cameron. philip, welcome to the show. here we go again. it's gambling, it's betting. and the honey trap scandal a fresh, suspension there. doesn't this just paint there. doesn't this just paint the picture, david? that politics just like in the bad old days of the final days of the. the john major era, it's just mired in sleaze. politicians are just in it for themselves. they're up to their necks in it. and the and the voters are looking on and simply aghast, pulling their hair out. one rule for politicians, one rule for the rest of us. >> well , i you rule for the rest of us. >> well, i you might say that i couldn't possibly comment, but no, of course.

>> you're completely correct, it looks terrible. it is terrible, i'm at a loss myself. just on the gambling point as to why politicians are allowed to bet on political events when, for example , jockeys are not allowed example, jockeys are not allowed to bet on horse racing soccer players or are not allowed to bet on the football matches, not just that they play in, but any football match anywhere . and yet football match anywhere. and yet we allow politicians to bet on the races therein, namely the general election. and it's not this isn't difficult. you just simply ban, politicians and their staff members from, from, from political betting. we do it in other areas. so why not? there and i just find it incredibly odd that nobody has stepped forward, either labour or conservative, to essentially

swiftly undertake to enact that, if they form the next government i >> -- >> but that's just not workable. i mean , politicians routinely i mean, politicians routinely place bets on themselves. i have, i bet myself three times i won one and lost two. i didn't trouble the bookies very much. phillip blonde. have you never placed a bet on politics? surely you have. everyone does. >> oh , for the general public, >> oh, for the general public, of course. >> but there's no reason. i think if you genuinely want to uphold the comments, you meant made earlier. and i agree with those comments, we it is quite easy to prevent, politicians or their staff from betting on, on political races or political outcomes. we, i repeat, we do it for jockeys. we do it for soccer players. we do it for cricket players. we do it for cricket players because it gives them an unfair advantage. there's also the case that we have a police

officer who's been arrested for, misconduct in in public office and, the law is, is somewhat isn't that vague on this. it's a, it's a criminal offence to bet with inside information yet. yet the gambling commission's inquiries don't seem to be running in parallel with police inquiries. so so if we're serious, martin, about eliminating the two tier system , eliminating the two tier system, then it's very easy or it's as difficult as as banning football players to ban politicians from placing bets. i don't really see the problem. now, the other interesting thing is , is this interesting thing is, is this latest issue about the honeytrap affair, which in some ways is much more serious because it's a national security affair. we essentially had somebody blackmail, william wragg , who blackmail, william wragg, who promptly gave up the names of all, everyone, everyone. he

could and compromised many other mps. and if we make two and two equal four, it appears that this, criminal act was undertaken by a labour party member . member. >> so no no no no no no no no no >> so 110 110 110 110 110 110 110 110 110 110 ho >> so 110 110 110 110 110 110 110 110 110 110 110 ho. >> so no no no no no no no no no no no no. there has been no criminal activity. there's a suspension of a party activist. let's be absolutely clear. i agree, i was only arrested the moment allegations. let's let's be careful. >> yes . i'm be careful. >> yes. i'm saying, well, we know that whoever was blackmailing william wragg is a criminal activity. and then we have this very odd, announcement that a labour party member has been suspended , and somebody's been suspended, and somebody's been suspended, and somebody's been arrested . so if those been arrested. so if those events are related, and we don't know that they are, then that's a potentially a very, very serious matter indeed . and that serious matter indeed. and that then suggests that far from it

being a foreign kind of, spy operation is something much closer to home. >> okay. we have to leave it there. phillip blonde, former adviser to david cameron. thank you very much for joining us adviser to david cameron. thank you very much forjoining us on you very much for joining us on the show. now, moving on. princess anne is recovering slowly in hospital after suffering concussion and minor head injuries. her husband, vice admiral sir tim laurence , went admiral sir tim laurence, went to visit her royal highness in hospital where she's been since been involved in a horse related incident. he spoke to reporters as he left gilded water. >> do you expect her out today , >> do you expect her out today, sir? do you expect her out today ? >> 7- >> she 7_ >> she won't ? >> she won't be 7 >> she won't be out when she's ready. >> thank you . >> thank you. >> thank you. >> well, gb news royal correspondents. cameron walker is outside buckingham palace. cameron, welcome to the show. what's the latest ? what's the latest? >> well, martin's vice admiral, sir tim laurence , the princess sir tim laurence, the princess royal's husband, visited his

wife in hospital this afternoon. it's a southmead hospital in bristol, bristol. it's understood to be the nearest major trauma centre close to the princess royal's gloucestershire home, where she sustained those injuries on sunday night. thought to be involving a horse. her medical team saying that her injuries are consistent with impact from the horse's head or a horse's leg. but as you just heard there in that video clip, the sir tim told reporters that she's recovering slowly and she'll be out when she is ready, suggesting the princess will not be out of hospital today. she has concussion and minor injuries, according to buckingham palace. at the time of this announcement on monday. they are . buckingham palace said they are. buckingham palace said she's expected to make a full and swift recovery different to what sir tim is saying this afternoon. recovering slowly. i suspect we don't need to read too much into that. the reason being the statement we had on monday would have been a very carefully worded, very carefully crafted statement before it was

released to the world. whereas the tim appears to be ambushed by journalists a little bit outside the hospital in bristol this afternoon. the princess, of course, a keen horsewoman , she course, a keen horsewoman, she rode in the 1976 montreal olympics. but she is 73 years old and she has sustained a pretty nasty injury to the head. we know that she doesn't remember the incident itself. she has concussion. it's a medical team saying what they think has happened. we don't know if she was alone when she sustained these injuries on sunday evening. we know an air ambulance was called and a road ambulance, but she was not taken to hospital . in the air to hospital. in the air ambulance. she was taken via road suggesting it wasn't a very urgent injury but albeit serious enough to warrant being in hospital for at least three days. >> thank you, cameron wark, for the update there on the princess royal from buckingham palace , royal from buckingham palace, now about to be joined by a senior cabinet minister. and i'll ask him straight. is there any way back for the conservatives in this general election campaign? and did you have a flutter on the date of

the general election? i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel

>> this is gb news and we are britain's election channel. >> this vote may seem to be about the politicians in the media, but it's actually about you. >> and we won't ever forget that. >> join us up and down the country as we follow every moment together . moment together. >> now 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. >> don't miss our big interview with the liberal democrats leader, sir ed davey. he speaks to our political editor chris hope, in our vote 2020 for the leader special and that's from

7:00 this evening here on gb news. now let's get more now ahead of the general election which is just eight days away now, are you still with us? i'm joined by the deputy foreign secretary, andrew mitchell. andrew, welcome to the show. so i've bet on myself three times on politics. i even won one time. have you ever had a political flutter? >> you know, i'm not a great, bettor and a gambler, and i can't remember when i last placed a bet, but. but i can remember that whenever i have placed a bet, i've almost always lost. okay so you're so you're you're admitting at that point, he froze up. >> he admitted, and in fact, ed davey in 2010 said he he bet on the lib dems to win. and he said i'm a serial loser. so perhaps there, andrew, you have more in common with ed davey than perhaps you'd like to confess. but on a serious point, andrew, the conservatives now are

consistently 20 points behind in the polls. nothing seems to be budging that this betting hoo ha. this latest scandal cannot be helping at all. is there any way the conservatives can dig themselves out of this hole? now? >> what we have to do is recognise that the british pubuc recognise that the british public are facing a choice here. >> there is a choice. conservatives are always by instinct, low taxes, people who tried to reduce tax when it's responsible and safe to do so. labouris responsible and safe to do so. labour is the opposite one. we always used to be said that dogs bark, cats miaow and labour puts up taxes, and what conservatives have to do is to make sure that the choice at this election is understood. millions of people are going to vote conservative on july the 4th, and the job of all of us is to try and make the point about this choice so that the country can decide, because, you know, the betting scandal will will be gone and will be forgotten within a few days. but once you've elected a government

once you've elected a government on july the 4th, you're saddled with it for five years. and we need to make sure that people understand that choice and that conservatives explain what we would want to do. we have a clear plan, and that the country can make that choice. >> but isn't that the point, though? andrew mitchell there's been scant analysis of labour's policies. sir keir starmer has got away more or less scot free on that front because it seems as a continual set of circumstances, conservative own goals that you are simply handing to the opposition, which means that that conversation doesn't happen. the d—day debacle was a disaster, and now the betting huha rolls on and on and on, and each time a precious day is ticked off as we head towards the general election. isn't that an exercise in just self—imposed disaster ? self—imposed disaster? >> well, this is my 11th general election, and i've never known a general election that went particularly smoothly, and i remember also some of those

elections where things weren't very seriously awry , but, you very seriously awry, but, you know, in, in birmingham, in my constituency, but in a lot of constituencies across the birmingham conurbation, we've had labour in government, they've been governing britain's second city just as they govern in wales. and we've seen the effect of, that sort of labour government in birmingham. they've bankrupted the city, they've put up the council tax by 21. they're closing three out of four libraries, a whole series of things that cuts in service of £300 million. that is what happens in, labour governments. they always leave the country in a much less strong economic position when they leave government. no labour government has ever left office without putting up unemployment . without putting up unemployment. and we see it day in, day out in the birmingham area. and we see it day in, day out in the birmingham area . the effect the birmingham area. the effect of labour government taxes rising , of labour government taxes rising, services being cut and we're very worried about it. >> but but andrew, it's fair to say we've never been in bigger debt. we're £2.7 trillion in

debt. we're £2.7 trillion in debt. that's dwarfs the debt that david cameron inherited in 2010. you talk about the conservatives being the party of low tax. we have the highest taxes since world war two. it's easy to criticise the opposition. but you've had 14 years to get this right. and yet we stand in a perilous situation in terms of debt and taxation . in terms of debt and taxation. >> well, the rises in tax and the rises in debt have taken place during the last parliament, in particular because of covid, where i think the government did exactly the right thing in protecting livelihoods and jobs and people's living standards through the furlough scheme, it cost us £400 billion. it was very, very expensive. but i think it was the right thing to do. that's why taxation and debt are so high. but who can doubt that the instincts of the conservatives are to lower tax when it is responsible to do so? the instincts of labour are to raise tax. and that's why i talk about the choice in the general election. we've got to make sure

that people are constituents, those whose votes were after understand there is a choice, because once the choice is made on july the 4th, it will continue for five years. and i think we're there to be a massive labour landslide. the country would not be well governed. governments need to be held to account. they need powerful oppositions and it's very, very important that we make sure that this choice is understood before people vote on july the 4th. >> now, andrew, if you were a gambling man, how big a supermajority do you think that the labour party may get? some of the polls have been coming in a place in the conservative party on 53 seats, a wipe—out . party on 53 seats, a wipe—out. >> well, you know, we've had a real election in the birmingham area where labour, as i say, has beenin area where labour, as i say, has been in government and just in the last couple of weeks. and that saw a swing to the conservatives of 6. so that was a real election and not a poll. but, as i said, my record in betting is so awful that i

wouldn't be taking a bet on any of that, that speculation. >> okay. well all bets will be off in eight days time. andrew mitchell. thanks for joining off in eight days time. andrew mitchell. thanks forjoining us on the show. deputy foreign secretary, always a pleasure to have you. okay. thank you. there's lots more still to come between now and 5:00. and our last word, the nigel farage is correct to say that the ukraine should seek peace talks with russia . but first, it's time for russia. but first, it's time for your latest news headlines with polly middlehurst. >> the headlines this hour. the driver of a car that crashed into a school, killing two eight year old girls will face no criminal charges. nooria sajjad and selina law died after the crash at their school in wimbledon in july last year. it was found the driver had suffered an epileptic seizure behind the wheel and she's expressed her deepest sorrow and said she has no recollection of what took place. the parents of the girls killed said they remain unconvinced that the

news now to more controversial remarks from nigel farage on ukraine and the leader of reform uk has said president zelenskyy should talk peace or risk losing every young ukrainian man. and his comments come a few days after mr farage said the west provoked russia's invasion of ukraine by expanding the european union and nato eastwards. well, join me now to discuss this. it's a former nato commander, rear admiral chris parry. chris, welcome to the show. always a pleasure to have your company. does nigel farage have a point? is there any circumstance, chris parry, where you feel we should think about ending what looks like could be a forever war and actually have some peace talks? or is that simply not on the table? >> well, it's up to the ukrainians and the russians. really, martin, i think we need to reflect that. the sort of scale of warfare that's going on along the front line in ukraine is just like that. that used to happen during the second world war. so it could go for on

another couple of years. but my sense is that i think they're basically fighting themselves into a stalemate . and i think into a stalemate. and i think along the sort of lines we're seeing now, they'll start talking to each other by the end of the year . of the year. >> and chris parry talking about the end of the year of course, there's a huge election coming up over the pond in america. donald trump is looking pretty favourable over there. and yesterday, two of his former chiefs of staff laid out their plans to cut arms supplies to the ukraine to help end the war. donald trump always said, we'll have this war over in 24 hours. a lot of bluster, no detail. now they're saying that they're going to stop arms going out there. use that as a window for putin to sit down and have peace talks or ramp up the armaments to ukraine. so with the threats of the arms being pulled out from the biggest supplier of them, the usa rear admiral chris parry, is that also a key factor? >> not going to happen. >> not going to happen. >> martin. the fact of life is,

whether you're a cynic or a realist, the we've managed to fly paper russia in ukraine and as long as ukraine wants to fight for its independence, it's incredibly convenient for russia to be bogged down there. i heard an american general say recently that, you know , for the sake of that, you know, for the sake of 5% of american defence budget, we're actually depleting 75% of russia's fighting power. i hate to say it, but that's a good deal for the free world, whether ukraine can actually stand the strain, the pressure on its economy, its society for much longer, i'm not sure. but what we've got to start thinking about is, you know, if russia does want to come to the table, you know, on what possible terms is ukraine going to feel secure after that peace with russia still hovering in the background, rearming, still murdering people in its occupied provinces . provinces. >> and yet, chris parry, when nigel farage talked about some brokering some form of peace talks, boris johnson said the comments were morally repugnant.

a kremlin propagandist. but you're saying that perhaps is the most likely route because both sides grinding each other into the ground? do you need to put this tribalism, this binary choice, that one sides and just say sometimes, perhaps you do need to negotiate with your foe? >> what tends to happen in these things? you look in history, martin, whenever these two sides are any people involved in a war, they're getting a sort of very restricted mental box where the possibilities actually narrow down to very, as you say, binary choices . that's the binary choices. that's the situation they're in right now, what would change that? if there's a breakthrough on the front? russia has a collapse of confidence. there's a mutiny in the russian army. all those things could happen. so what we're waiting for is an event that will actually break people out of this mental, box. i think the russians tried it with the most recent assault up near kharkiv. that hasn't happened, i was saying at the start of the year that once the campaigning

season is over, i think there will be talk of, coming to terms, because i think russia's feeling it. there's no question about that. just on the farage comments, martin, it didn't take much to provoke putin, the fact of life is, if you walk down the street and you're confronted by a lunatic, you're going to provoke him whether you're reasonable or not. the fact of life is, putin wanted ukraine for its resources oil and gas, agricultural products. he also wanted to absorb as many of the population as he could, because he's got a declining population in russia. so whatever nigel said , and he's normally a very said, and he's normally a very good communicator, and i think he probably messed it up here, the fact of life is putin was going to do what he wanted to do regardless of what nato or the eu were doing. so it's a slightly fatuous argument by politicians at the moment. >> okay. well, thanks for joining us. give us your expert insights. always a pleasure to have you on the show. former nato commander , rear admiral nato commander, rear admiral chris parry, thank you very much

another snooze fest from the muted three lions or should i say the lame lions? yes, the nil nil draw against slovenia, the mighty mighty slovenia is nothing more than what i expected. i said it last week and i'll say it again in my opinion, it's time to get rid of gareth southgate. well, let's talk to a bloke now who knows a lot more about football than me. a mere armchair pundit. lot more about football than me. a mere armchair pundit . so i'm a mere armchair pundit. so i'm joined now by the england, everton and rangers legend trevor. steven trevor, what a player you were . a delight to player you were. a delight to have you on the show. now, of course, the media fans , they course, the media fans, they always get frustrated during big tournaments. before we get to gareth southgate, you were playing under bobby robson, who went on to be remembered as an absolute legend, almost deified . absolute legend, almost deified. and yet, trev, when we look back in time, the media were always on bobby's back. they were saying in the name of god, go in the name of allah go. they even said at one point, as a player , said at one point, as a player, trev, what's it like playing in those circumstances where the

media, the fans are always, always on the gaffer's back? >> well, it's not easy, you try not to, react to it in any way. and of course, you know bobby robson. he would protect us, as you would expect. he wasn't friends with the media. they they weren't particularly keen on him. but of course, when you look at his record, it was it was very good. quarter final and semi—final of world cup. so, i think we need to put it into perspective. i know you're claiming that gareth southgate should go, but, claiming that gareth southgate should go, but , midway claiming that gareth southgate should go, but, midway through a tournament, you certainly don't want to be contemplating that, and i think we're misreading it slightly. if you look at all of the qualifying campaigns that we have done or competed in, over the, the various campaigns, we always struggle. we seem to finish their league season and then find difficult difficulty in getting a rhythm together.

but we do eventually find our feet in general. and certainly under gareth, we've done that in the main. we've we've got better in tournaments, i think. what, disappointed england fans, last night was the inability to score against slovenia. but historically they've always been a bit difficult for us. we have won five out of six against slovenia, but only by one goal. so it was always going to be tight. and we again, we didn't take our chances, at the right moments in the game, you know, if, if saka's, tap in goal from phil foden hadn't been ruled offside. just wonder what that game would have looked like , you game would have looked like, you know, going through the 90 minutes. but anyway, that didn't happen, better second half. certainly first half was very, very disappointing. i was watching it in a in a pub with some mates last night and, i was surprisingly, dull atmosphere because the england team is not exciting . it's not exciting as exciting. it's not exciting as we're seeing it now . it's not

we're seeing it now. it's not exciting the public, but we know we've got players as individuals who are who are terrific players , you know, and jude bellingham for instance, unfortunately, is just looking like the season's caught up with him somewhat and he's looking a bit tired, but the qualifying is over, martin. and that's the main thing. the qualifying is over, martin. and that's the main thing . we're and that's the main thing. we're now into a different stage. a different test. jeopardy! football cup final football. and that's what it's going to be interesting from here on in. >> now, trev, you've been very diplomatic . >> now, trev, you've been very diplomatic. i'd >> now, trev, you've been very diplomatic . i'd expect no less. diplomatic. i'd expect no less. but let's let's be honest, jude bellingham, the best player in the spanish league , certainly the spanish league, certainly one of the very best in harry kane.the one of the very best in harry kane. the best player, the best striker in the bundesliga. and we saw with phil foden, voted the best player in the premier league . and yet when they're put league. and yet when they're put under southgate's stewardship, they vanish , they're they vanish, they're disappearing, they disappear into mediocrity. and at that point, trev, the book's got to

stop with the gaffer. >> yeah there's a there's a mix of things here. certainly gareth southgate has he's not put this team on the field to work in a fluid way. and you can see that in the body language and the facial expressions of the players. you can see that there's something amiss here and they're not comfortable with what they're doing or unsure as to what they're doing . and, and to what they're doing. and, and we've run aground, you know, after 20, 30 minutes of the game, but to, to put southgate out of the tournament at this point would be counterproductive. i do want to, you know, just define the difference between qualifying, the qualifying stage. and we have qualified with most points in the group, and we top the group, which has given us a great end towards the final. in the later stages of course. but the later stages of course. but the problem is what? in fact, no, it's not the problem. it's the complete opposite. now we've got this, this cup final

approach where we have to win over 90 minutes or extra time and penalties. so there are outcomes now where it was chess qualification, chess games qualification, chess games qualification is like that sometimes and i've experienced them myself. i played in ,2 and we didn't get out of the group, you know. so england are doing something. okay. they collected the points. it was a poor group as well, wasn't it? i mean , as well, wasn't it? i mean, quality wise, but we can put that behind us. >> okay. trevor. steven, i truly admire your optimism. and i was with you there until you mentioned the p word. you had to mentioned the p word. you had to mention penalties. now, trev, my heart's my mouth. it's a delight to talk to you. you take care, captain. thanks for your company. now, at 5:00. coming up shortly. i'll bring the results of a big new opinion poll ahead of a big new opinion poll ahead of next week's general election. find out whether the tories can eat into the labour party's lead, or if rishi sunak's party are still on course to be thrashed. and what about reform? we'll find out shortly. i'm martin daubney on gb news,

further north and not feeling very pleasant at all. where we've got the wet and windy weather across western scotland and northern ireland, that's going to continue into thursday night. some showers for eastern scotland, northern england but largely dry further south. and actually the weekend's looking reasonable. there'll be some sunshine around, temperatures a little lower but mostly looks like things are heating up boxt boilers sponsors of weather on

gambling commission, i'd remove them straight away , which is them straight away, which is what i've done. that's in a sharp contrast to rishi sunak, who took days and days and days before he took action as a wider story here about the choice that the general election next week between carrying on with what we've had for the last 14 years or so, the inaction by rishi sunakis or so, the inaction by rishi sunak is just absolutely in keeping with the way that they've governed for 14 years, or turning the page and starting to rebuild the country . to rebuild the country. >> spanish police have released new footage in their search for the missing british teenager, jay slater. if you're watching on television, take a look at these aerial shots taken from a hospital scouring the mountainous area involved. search teams on foot below, having been joined by sniffer dogs just yesterday. the guardia civil locally say their efforts aren't being scaled back. they're still looking forjay, they're still looking for jay, who went missing ten days ago

seat as the liberal democrats overtake the conservatives and become the official opposition . become the official opposition. let's go through the key figures now on the poll has labour winning 450 seats as i just said, it has the liberal democrats getting more mps and the tories with ed davis party on 71. the conservatives, meanwhile , are on just 60. and meanwhile, are on just 60. and next comes the snp on 24. and the poll projects that reform will win 18 seats and the greens and plaid cymru have four seats each. and next, when it comes to the share of the vote, well, laboun the share of the vote, well, labour, as you can see, are on 40% of the vote and they're followed in second place by reform on 18% two percentage points ahead of the conservatives on 16 in third. and then comes the liberal democrats on 13, with the greens on 8. now, the poll will also

predict that a total of 22 cabinet ministers will lose their seats at the general election, and they include the prime minister, rishi sunak, the deputy prime minister oliver dowden, the chancellor of the exchequer , jeremy hunt, and also exchequer, jeremy hunt, and also kemi badenoch, who's the favourite with bookmakers to be the next conservative leader. well, i'm now joined by gb news political editor chris hope. chris, quite a set of figures to go through here. let's pick through the top lines. the biggest line is a widening gap between the conservatives and the labour party. if you believe the labour party. if you believe the polls with a record majority predicted here for the labour party . party. >> that's right. hi, martin. >> that's right. hi, martin. >> yeah, you've got 215 majority for the conservative, for the, for the conservative, for the, for the conservative, for the, for the lib, for the labour party, the labour party. forgive me with the tory party pushed into third place with just 60 mps, they're going backwards

from where they were in a similar electoral calculus . find similar electoral calculus. find out now poll that we revealed on gb news at the start of the campaign. back then it was around 72 tory mps now to down 60. it may show the impact of the resurgent reform uk party under nigel farage. of course, since then we have had a few missteps by this campaign run by rishi sunak , the d—day issue rishi sunak, the d—day issue coming back early for a media was widely criticised by his own side for that. and then, of course, the gambling gate story ongoing. a couple of candidates, have been been had their support withdrawn by rishi sunak. he's beenin withdrawn by rishi sunak. he's been in battle because of that. so he hasn't had the best of luck or the best of campaigns, frankly, for the tory prime minister. the eye catching thing, though, the liberal democrats become the official opposition. according to this polling by electoral calculus, and find out now reform uk get wait for it 18 mps. you'll see nigel farage in the house of

commons richard tice up. he'll be in the house of commons. lee anderson, these are names you would never have thought would have happened before. i think before nigel farage chose to come back as the party's leader. just 3 or 4 short weeks ago, labour's labours, best result since the 1930s. the tories worst one since 1900. history made across the board 2222. cabinet ministers to lose their seats. that's virtually the entire cabinet losing their seats. who's left? james cleverly, home secretary steve barclay, the environment secretary. mark harper, the transport secretary. lucy frazer , laura trott, tom tugendhat, mike tomlinson , the immigration mike tomlinson, the immigration minister. not many. also don't forget jeremy corbyn. he wins islington north from labour. so a quite extraordinary set of results here. again, the only poll that matters , as i'm sure poll that matters, as i'm sure we'll hear from the tories tonight when they see this poll, is july the 4th. that's thursday next week. but people are voting

now. 1 in 5 of us vote in postal ballots. and so that will be a worry. i think that these numbers are coming out. this poll will, between the 14th of june and the 24th of june. that's just yesterday , martin. that's just yesterday, martin. so a shocking poll here. for the tory party and alarming maybe for labour. i was coming walking into this venue here and i'll get them now in the spin room, getting ready for the two way debate. the final head to head debate. the final head to head debate between rishi sunak and sir keir starmer and one senior labour figure said to me they are very worried, very worried. he said that they wake up on friday next week to an almighty shock and these polls are all wrong. so right now labour is worried that these polls forecasting a supermajority for labour party are wrong. but as things stand, they're all saying the same thing. either the pollsters are wrong or labour, laboun pollsters are wrong or labour, labour, labour is in for an enormous shock next week. >> now, of course , polls are >> now, of course, polls are polls. no polls predicted brexit. no polls predicted donald trump would get elected.

and yet, chris, we are seeing a trend emerging and it seems to be a trend of a widening majority, a decreasing of the conservative vote. and as you said, an increase in liberal democrats and an increase in the reform vote with each poll that goes the reform have been cast to get zero seats in a yougov poll and in a telegraph pole. and then it was five seats. beg your pardon? in yougov. and now 18 in this poll, there seems to be three trends in parallel there going on, chris, and maybe across this many polls, there's something in this movement . something in this movement. >> as well there might be. but looking at the look at the breakdown of the of the of the share of the vote, 40% vote, laboun share of the vote, 40% vote, labour, 20% vote, vote conservative, 11% vote lib dems, and they get 71 mps, 18% vote reform, and they get 18 mps. now this is why you're hearing from

nigel farage calls for some form of electoral reform. why is it that you can get, you know, a third less in according to this in vote share than the liberal democrat than the more than liberal democrats? forgive me, but get a fraction of their mps. and that's that's not fair. they would say the reason why that is, of course, is that reform uk , a relatively new party, a rebadged brexit party from 2019, doesn't know where voters are . doesn't know where voters are. martin. the older parties are tories, lib dems and labour. they know where the voters live. they know where the voters live. they know where the voters live. they know what doors to knock on. remind mrs. miggins at number 42. acacia avenue to make sure she votes nowhere to go because not a lot of people people move around between elections reform uk has no idea where they are. if they get 18 mps. where they are. if they get 18 mp5. i where they are. if they get 18 mps. i do find that very extraordinary because that will mean that essentially a social media campaign with no idea where any of their supporters live has gone from 0 to 18. mps. now, given the liberal democrats are around a dozen or so and

they've been around well in their current form, you know, since the early 90s or late 80s, i find 18 mps extraordinary and historic for a challenger party. >> hey, chris, thanks for joining us there. live from the spin room in nottingham, my home city. thanks for joining spin room in nottingham, my home city. thanks forjoining us as always. and now let's cross to the poll was conducted by find out now and electoral calculus. and the founder and the ceo of electoral calculus, martin baxter joins me now on the show. martin, always a delight to have you on the show and eye opening set of results here, martin baxter, but one that seems to follow recent trends and those trends typically seem to be a widening majority for the labour party. a decreased vote share for the conservatives, an increased vote share for the liberal democrats, and likewise a resurgent reform party. martin, talk us through. >> well, you could summarise it, martin, as this is the only

election that many voters are saying oh no to the conservatives. >> and that's reflected in the fact that labour, not just in our poll, but in many polls now predict to get more than 400 seats, but also there's a little bit of, oh no, with respect to labour as well . and that's why labour as well. and that's why we're seeing the growth of parties, which are neither conservative nor labour. >> so the lib dems are up, reform are up. >> even the greens implied are up as well . so one interesting up as well. so one interesting fact is that although labour are predicted to win with a massive majority, we calculate that keir starmer's labour party would get 1 million fewer votes than jeremy corbyn's labour party did in 2017, so that shows that although labour are doing very well, it's slightly grudging, but that doesn't take away from the fact that they are on course for a big majority. and the conservatives are looking, at a very bad situation. >> and martin baxter, in terms of the vote share, the reform vote share at its highest in this poll, the labour party just

holding firm on 40, the conservatives being nibbled downwards, lib dems doing very well and some of the big names on this hit list martin baxter. when we're looking ahead to the re—emergence of who might be the future conservative leader, cammy badenoch, who's doing the rounds of the newspapers today saying that she's a name fancied in this poll. martin, she's down to lose her seat, as are some other big names. talk us through who's on the hit list? >> well, as you say, yes, from the prime minister downwards. most of the cabinet, i mean , most of the cabinet, i mean, most conservative mps are in trouble on polling like this. it's worth remembering that there is no floor in british politics under the first past the post system. until you get to zero. zero is the least the conservatives could get to . but conservatives could get to. but if things decline further then they could get towards that. on they could get towards that. on the other hand, it could be better for the conservatives in that, that there's quite a lot of uncertainty into exactly how bad it will be for the conservatives. we've got to vote our seat range going from about,

40 up to 200. so it could . and 40 up to 200. so it could. and the 60 figure is the one we think is the most likely is the central case. but, there could be surprises all along the way. but if it's anything like, you know, our poll is going to be a very bad night for the conservatives next thursday . conservatives next thursday. >> and there's this pincer movement. martin bax, we've talked about all along, the pincer movement of the liberal democrats in the blue wall, nibbling away at those more rural votes, the kind of sewage constituencies , as it were, the constituencies, as it were, the nimby votes. and then the pincer movement of the reform party, the conservatives seems to have all but given up on even campaigning in the red bull. is that what you're detecting here, martin? a kind of two pronged attack on the conservative vote by both the liberal democrats and reform uk. >> it's , another way to think >> it's, another way to think about it is conservative voters moving away from the conservative party in all directions . directions. >> we did an interesting poll a few weeks ago asking conservative defectors what their reasons were, in their own

words, and the biggest reason was that people felt the conservative government had failed, and some people were going to labour and the lib dems, some people going to reform, some people just staying at home and not voting. but the conservatives have, you know, a massive reputational problem at the moment, which frankly , the moment, which frankly, really couldn't have been solved in six weeks of the campaign. i think we've seen that play out that the 14 years of government leaves a government tired and the public perception is very negative. and i think that's been very difficult to throw off. >> now. martin baxter, one final question . it's just a poll. i question. it's just a poll. i know it's your poll. no disrespect, but there are lots of polls. they've been quite varied in their output. but do you think there's enough in this trend now to not predict with accuracy the seat number. but there's enough of a trend. there's enough of a driving force now to point towards this supermajority, to point towards people looking for something different in politics in britain i >> -- >> yeah. >> yeah.

>> well, i'd say if you look at the other mrp polls by people who've conducted mrp polls before, there's quite a lot of similarity actually, on the labour seat total, it's around about 420 to 450. so that that you know and remember labour needs 326 for a majority. so anything over 400 is very large indeed. so there's on the whole consensus amongst the experienced mrp pollsters that labour are set to win, where again, i'll make the point that the conservative seat total is more uncertain. there's more uncertainty in that. it could be lower than we say it could be higher than we say, and that will obviously make a lot of difference to some cabinet ministers personally. but the general impression from the polling is that labour are going to win. now, of course , the to win. now, of course, the polls have been wrong before. in 1992, the polls predicted that neil kinnock would win with the labour party, and that did not happen. so you never know. and as chris hope said earlier, the only thing, the only votes that really count are the actual votes in the ballot box next thursday. >> yeah , a fascinating set of >> yeah, a fascinating set of results, and thank you for sharing them with us. and that's

>> this is gb news. >> 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. >> join us up and down the country as we follow every moment together. >> 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. >> don't miss our big interview with the liberal democrats leader, sir ed davey. he'll speak to our political editor, chris hope, and our vote 2020 for the leader's special. and that's from 7 pm. this evening here on gb news. now it's looking bleak for the french president, emmanuel macron, ahead of the election in his country this weekend . senior

country this weekend. senior figures in his party are apparently shunning macron, who decided the french would go to the polls after the european union election earlier this month. didn't go quite according to plan. well, let's cross live now to paris and speak to the journalist peter allen . peter, journalist peter allen. peter, welcome to the show. so as we've been saying, rishi sunak called a snap election. he might live to regret it. it seems president macron might do the same thing. a disastrous set of circumstances. apparently. macron pacing around the versailles palace, an isolated figure, his own prime minister telling him he's hated out there on the campaign trail. tell us more. >> it's absolutely chaos over here at the moment, martin, you wouldn't believe it. the country is meant to be gearing up for the olympics. they start at the end of next month for the first time in 100 years, that they've been held in paris. this was one of the great focal points of the emmanuel macron presidency . emmanuel macron presidency. instead, he's preparing for what looks as though it's going to be

an absolutely disastrous election, not just for him , but election, not just for him, but for stability in the country. if itold for stability in the country. if i told you that today, the interior minister , that's the interior minister, that's the equivalent of the home secretary over here, gerald darmanin, he says he's going whatever happens, he's quitting. whatever happens, he's quitting. whatever happens at the start of these elections, what's this interior minister responsible for all the security surrounding the olympics? crucially, they have also been claims by all sides of the political spectrum that there's going to be all out war come the weekend. and certainly the weekend after. on the second round of voting, marine le pen is saying the leftists are going to be out rioting. the president himself, emmanuel macron, has saying that there could be civil war if extremists are elected by extremists. he isn't just referring to marine le pen's national rally. he's also referring to the popular front, which is made up of very hard

leftist parties, as well as some moderate ones. i have to say as well. these are the kind of people who are being voted for by the french at the moment. we saw that in the european parliament election just over two weeks ago. now, about 35% of the country are said to be preparing to vote for the national rally on sunday. we shall see who'll they'll vote for a week later as well. and the new popular front, which is the new popular front, which is the leftist front, which is trying to stop the national rally getting into power. the for vote them is approaching 30% as well. so it could really go either way. but what we do know is it's not going emmanuel macron's way, and it's certainly not going the way of a stable france. martin >> it's an astonishing set of figures . will this gamble figures. will this gamble spectacularly backfire ? briefly, spectacularly backfire? briefly, if we could peter out rishi sunak may well live to regret calling that snap election. what about president macron ? about president macron? >> i think he will. nobody

really quite understood his motives to begin with. he wanted a clean start. he thought that people were going to back him after the shock of losing so much during the european elections. you could argue he'll still be in power. he's not up for election. there'll still be a president . almost certainly a president. almost certainly going to be a lame duck president, though . and if there president, though. and if there is rioting on the streets of paris, they were quite used to that nowadays. but if there's very severe rioting and we're looking at an extremist government of either side who will not be working with the president, they'll be trying to do their own things, and he'll be some kind of figure trying to calm everybody down, it's going to be chaos. and i think whatever happens at the moment, it does look as though he's going to regret it. it does look as though he's going to regret it . martin. going to regret it. martin. >> okay. peter. and an astonishing situation over the channel there in france. thank you very much for joining us. and we'll be sure to come back to you in the next couple of weeks. sounds like bedlam over there. now, here is the full list of candidates standing in the constituency of islington nonh the constituency of islington north at next week's general election. jeremy corbyn is the

britain's news channel . britain's news channel. >> welcome back. your time is 538. i'm martin daubney and this is gb news. now onto a matter which occupies the minds of many royal watchers . how deep is the royal watchers. how deep is the rift between prince william and prince harry? well, it's been reported that prince william is refusing to speak to prince harry and has even taken on the role of disciplinarian, which was once of course, the job of prince philip. but has that job gone now to william? and does he indeed rule with a rod of iron ? indeed rule with a rod of iron? well, joining me now to discuss this as the former bbc royal correspondent michael cole himself has a lot of iron. do you think this is a fair approximation of the character after all? michael cole surely the palace could do with a firm leader at the moment is will's the man? >> i think he is martin and good afternoon to you, william, 42

last friday, he's grown into the role of heir apparent. >> he looks good. he sounds good, and his role recently, in fact, at this moment with the japanese visit from the emperor and empress, has shown his importance to the royal family. >> never more so than now. he does the job well, and he is well, set up to take over from the duke of edinburgh. >> now, when the late queen was alive, she was the chairman of the board . but the chief the board. but the chief executive was definitely prince philip. >> she was the head of state, but he was the head of the family. he chaired the way ahead committee. >> he liaised with the security services and he laid down the law for a long, long time, of course, duchess of york. sarah fergie was banished and he also used to go through the invitation list for any royal event , striking off people he

event, striking off people he didn't want there. so he was very much in charge. and i think the situation with william is that when he makes up his mind, his mind is made up and he's doing extraordinarily well and he's doing it without the daily support in public of his wife, of course. and we all wish kate, the princess of wales, well, and a speedy continued recovery. and i think the king will be welcoming his older son. >> taking this more prominent role, because, quite frankly, he can't do everything he has to cry off some of his engagements. he's doing extraordinarily well, but it's a very, very good comfort to him to know that his eldest son is stepping up. >> and martin, you know, there was always a bit of doubt after the death of his mother. i know that prince william had to think again. and then we see him with the emperor and empress of japan. william thought again , do japan. william thought again, do i want to do this job? because there's nothing in our uncodified unwritten

constitution that says anybody has to be heir to the throne. and he thought about it. he was only 15 at the time, and he decided he did . and he's done decided he did. and he's done his duty. in great contrast to the man you mentioned at the top of your introduction, prince harry. >> now, i don't think there's any chance at all of there being any chance at all of there being a reconciliation with the brothers now or in the foreseeable future. >> it goes back to oprah winfrey interview, then the book spare and all the things that were said in the netflix six part series, too much bad blood. >> and william is not going to forgive that principally because he, of course, and his wife attacked personally. >> his wife, kate, and even when the announcement of her cancer was made there, there mealy mouthed response to it didn't show any great concern to her. >> okay. >> okay. >> because, william looks at

them and he would say what most people would say. all of this is completely unnecessary. it is unnecessary. prince harry has has had a wonderful, privileged life. he owes everything to being a member of the royal family he's good looking. he's married to a beautiful wife. he's got two healthy, beautiful children. he's got more money than we could shake a stick at people who are struggling. people who are battling would wonder why he's so upset now. >> michael cole i'm afraid i have to wield my own rod of iron. cool time. it's always a pleasure to have you on the show. thank you very much. now rishi sunak and sir keir starmer will take part in a prime ministerial debate live on tv this evening. about to talk to a member of sir keir's shadow cabinet. ahead of that, i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's new

channel. >> on election night, we are

throwing a party. >> the gb news election night. watch party will be live from essex. and you are all invited on air from 10:00. >> we'll have familiar faces from across the channel. entertainment and lots more stuff as we keep our eye on all the results as they come flying in. >> if you want to join our live election night watch party audience, go to gb news.com. forward slash election . forward slash election. party. >> don't miss our big interview with the liberal democrat leader, sir ed davey. he'll speak to our political editor, chris hope, in our vote 2020 for the leader's special. and that's from 7:00 pm this evening here on gb news. now let's go back to our top story. this hour, the latest major opinion poll to predict that the tories are heading for electoral wipe—out next week. an mlp poll conducted by electoral calculus suggests that labour will win with a

majority of 250. and let's cross now to my home city, nottingham, and speak to our political edhon and speak to our political editor, chris hope. chris, another eye popping set of numbers. let's quickly run through a few of those top numbers 450 seats predicted for the labour party, the conservatives on 60, libs on 71, and the reform party on 18. chris >> that's right. hi, martin. yeah. you're joining me here in the spin room where all the journalists gather. it's very warm, by the way, in the spin room, as we wait for this, head to head debate, the last one before the election day, the voting day thursday next week between rishi sunak and sir keir starmer, rather than a back to back audience led debate, as we've had in other other , other we've had in other other, other events, though so far this campaign is they'll be going literally toe to toe. it could be quite dramatic. i'll be here with all the reaction, the build up in the spin room and after

the reaction to do tune in to for gb news that. but this polling, is alarming and shocking. it's of a piece that we've seen before. it compares less favourably to an mrp poll by electoral calculus. and find out now that we revealed at the beginning of this campaign, the tories have now gone backwards in this campaign, down to as few as 60 mps, according to according to this poll , labour according to this poll, labour on 450, the liberal democrats become the official opposition on 71 reform uk get 18 mps. now that's from a position of zero. this is historic, it's the tories worst result. if this happens since 1900, labour's best since the 1930s. reform, while its best ever because they never had any mps. the previous mp who who was linked to nigel farage, the leader of course , farage, the leader of course, was douglas carswell in clacton in 2015. snp on 24, plied on four and there's a single independent candidate, jeremy corbyn. he hangs on, despite the

fact he's been kicked out of the labour party. so quite dramatic stuff here from the polls. and mrp polled 19,000 people polled between the 14th of june and the 24th of june. the tories would say, were they here, that the only poll that matters, of course, is the election day poll, which is next week , poll, which is next week, thursday. and we hear the results on friday. labour, for its part, we'll hear from bridget phillipson, the shadow education secretary, shortly. but i was talking to a senior cabinet shadow cabinet minister on the way here, and i muttered about this, this polling and they said, we are very worried here because if it could all these polls be wrong. everyone's forecasting a landslide, a supermajority for the labour party, and the tories are talking it up, almost a scare voters into voting conservatives. so the question is whether whether the polls will be right and wrong next friday, now. >> and are you just waiting there for bridget phillipson to come in? >> bridget phillipson yeah, bridget phillipson is with me now. the shadow education secretary bridget phillipson, thank you for joining secretary bridget phillipson, thank you forjoining me on gb news. there's a poll just dropped from election calculus

to find out. now forecasting a huge majority for your party. 250, tory is down to third place with just six mps. john 450 people you would have imagined never getting back into parliament when these seats were selected , looked like they could selected, looked like they could be on their way into parliament next friday. what's your reaction? >> well, we've had a lot of polls during this campaign, and my advice to voters would be to not pay too much attention to those polls. there is big variation between them in terms of outcome. you know, one poll, for example, had 175 seats that were too close to call . so my were too close to call. so my message is if the people want change, the only way to make that happen is to go out and vote for it. nothing is decided. nothing is a done deal. and there are still a lot of people who i know are considering how they're going to vote and haven't made their minds up. >> but these polls are now driving the narrative of the campaign, aren't they? i mean, the tory party is talking about a supermajority for your party and almost trying to scare people into not voting labour because they're worried about their taxation. the rest of it. >> i do think the tories are adopting a voter suppression strategy. they want people to think that this is settled,

that, you know, the outcome is already determined. it really is not. i mean, we've still got millions and millions of people who will go to the polls on the 4th of july. that is how we will get that. you know, the only poll that matters is what we get as a result of that general election. we're focused on working hard and trying to win the trust of the british people fighting for every vote. that's why i've been in lots of constituencies right across the country, and i know from those doorsteps that there are lots of people who haven't made their minds up and they're still weighing up their options. so my message to those people is, don't wake up on the 5th of july and discover you've got another five more years of the conservatives. if you want change, vote for it. >> there's individual arrested today or over this honeytrap scandal in westminster. we understand it could be linked to the labour party. what do you know about this person? i know no more than has been publicly disclosed and you'll appreciate this is now an ongoing police investigation. >> so there's not a great deal more that i could say about it, but i'm confident of course, the police will will follow any lines of inquiry and we'll do a diligent job looking into this big debate. >> we're here in nottingham.

it's the second head to head of the campaign between the two main leaders, rishi sunak and your leader, sir keir starmer. what does sir keir need to do to land his points with voters? >> i think keir will be pitching to those voters who haven't made their minds up. >> i was just saying there are still a lot of uncertainty and setting out the clear difference that will exist between a labour government and a conservative government, how we get our economy moving once more, how we rebuild our nhs, how we secure our borders, all of which are in line with the priorities of the british people and our manifesto has got a plan behind it. how we will deliver on it, how we'll pay will deliver on it, how we'll pay for it. i think he will also seek to draw a contrast with rishi sunak's manifesto, which i regard as a wish list full of unfunded commitments that risks crashing the economy just like they did last time under liz truss. >> your manifesto is less less open about some areas of taxation. maybe council tax, maybe inheritance tax, capital gains tax . will you come down on gains tax. will you come down on those who are wealthy if you win power next friday? >> so everything within our manifesto has got a plan behind it. so we don't require any additional changes in taxation in order to deliver on the

commitments we've made. and we have given that ironclad commitment in the manifesto that there will be no increases in vat income tax or national insurance under a labour government. >> what everyone's worrying about at the moment, isn't it? >> but what's in the manifesto doesn't require for any additional measures other than those which we've set out. for example, ending tax breaks and private schools, putting that money into state education. we have set out some discrete changes, but beyond that, our focus is on growing our economy. that's how in the long run , that's how in the long run, we'll be able to ease the burden that working families are facing and also invest in our public services. >> the tories say that dogs bark, cats miaow and labour put up taxes. they're right, aren't they? >>i they? >> i mean, taxes are at their highest level for 70 years under the conservatives working people have been absolutely hammered and i think you know, your viewers will know that they're paying viewers will know that they're paying more every month on their mortgage or on their rent because of interest rate increases that came out of liz truss and that disastrous mini—budget so i'm afraid the conservatives have played fast and for loose far too long with the public finances. rachel reeves will bring a sense of discipline back to our economy. we'll get our economy back on a

more stable footing, and that's also how i think we can unlock some of that business investment that we need to see. attracting more business investment to the uk, but also supporting businesses here to grow. and i think there is just so much that so much more that we could do. when i've seen some amazing businesses during the campaign that would relish that opportunity. >> your opposite number, gillian keegan, says that you'll allow teachers to teach gender ideology in schools, what's your what do you take on that? do you do you accept that? i mean, you're just changing the rules, aren't you? in how to. in what? in how children can if you want to change gender at school? >> no, i do think it's important we get clear guidance for school leaders and for teachers. i have heard their concerns . they want heard their concerns. they want to be clear about how they approach this issue. but i do say this is this is sensitive, this is difficult. and we're talking about children's wellbeing. and i think we need to approach it with a sense of seriousness and care. we do need to make sure schools have got what they need, but there have been further, the government were consulted on this published, asked for responses that was left at the point at which the election was was called. but there have been other developments since. for

example, hilary cass published her review into wider health provision after the government's consultation. i think we also need to look at that in tandem with any guidance to make sure that schools are absolutely clear and confident about how they support children and young people. >> well, bridget phillipson, thank you for joining >> well, bridget phillipson, thank you forjoining us >> well, bridget phillipson, thank you for joining us today on gb news. that's bridget phillipson, the shadow education secretary, setting out how she thinks sir keir starmer can win support tonight from voters . support tonight from voters. >> some live there from nottingham ahead of the final leaders debate tonight. now just to repeat some astonishing data in labour 450 seats. liberal democrats 71. conservatives 60, snp 24 and the reform party breaking through on 18 seats. that's the latest poll by electoral calculus. now that's it from me . dewbs& co is up next it from me. dewbs& co is up next six till seven. don't forget to join us from 6 am. tomorrow. it's breakfast with stephen and eddie. of course. the show of the year , followed by britain's the year, followed by britain's newsroom at 930 with andrew and bev. and then it's tom and emily

full stop. is it really on my panel tonight is the biggest donor to reform uk . he says that donor to reform uk. he says that one of the reasons for that is their approach to stopping migration. but let me ask though, will anyone's plan?

quite frankly work when it comes to this issue, or has that ship already sailed? and do you think we need to have a global wealth tax for the ultra wealthy? if so, tell me, what would that look like? and just when you thought this election campaign, quite frankly, could not get any more bizarre, get this doctor who was basically seemed to suggest that he wishes kemi badenoch was dead. then he realised how bad that sounded and rowed back to say what he actually meant to say was that she should shut up. what on earth he's going . on? holac and earth he's going. on? holac and more before seven. but for now, the 6:00 headlines. >> michel, thank you and good evening to you. well, the driver of a car that crashed into a primary school in london, killing two eight year old girls. will face no criminal charges. nouria sajjad and ceuna charges. nouria sajjad and celina law died after the crash
