4:03 am
got everything right. i completely understand that. but this is really important. this election. if labour are in power, they'll have a blank check to do whatever they want. that means put up your taxes , that means put up your taxes, reverse all the changes i made to get us to net zero in a sensible way. reverse all the progress we've made on illegal migration. >> well, that was rishi sunak. the lib dem leader, sir ed davey, today said the winner of the general election should be passing an emergency budget to fix the health care system . the fix the health care system. the party says its manifesto pledges £911 party says its manifesto pledges £9.4 billion in a spending package for the national health service, health care and social care to ed davey , saying he care to ed davey, saying he wants to see a budget which would be much more targeted in scope than a regular one. now the former newcastle united owner, sir john the former newcastle united owner, sirjohn hall, has switched his political support to reform uk after previously donating tens of thousands of pounds to the conservative party. he was cheered on at a reform speech near sunderland, where party leader nigel farage
4:04 am
was speaking. mr farage said it had been a privilege to welcome sir john into the reform family sirjohn into the reform family and said he'd made a substantial donation to the party's campaign. sirjohn said he felt like the tories had left him disillusioned . disillusioned. >> the conservative party has let me down. there have been a failure for the last many ways over the last 14 years, and they don't speak now, for my english is my way of life, which i feel is my way of life, which i feel is under threat. and i looked around basically who i find to speak for me and the reform party. i feel and i feel it's the only ones who are going to speak and about, saving my engush speak and about, saving my english culture. >> sir john english culture. >> sirjohn hall, junior doctors >> sir john hall, junior doctors in england, walked out today for the 11th time in almost a year. the five day strike continues in their long running pay dispute with the government. they're asking for a 35% pay rise, which labour has said is a non—starter. but the doctors say
4:05 am
more industrial action is going to be taking place over the summer if negotiations don't move forward . move forward. >> i'll pay at the moment for a doctor in their first year is £15.50. we're asking for that to be £21, £21 an hour for a doctor that's starting life saving treatment on our loved ones, £21 an hour for a doctor with student loans of £100,000. and because the pay cut has been so strong, we're losing doctors. we don't have enough and we don't have enough doctors. we're seeing patients die needlessly in the nhs every single week . in the nhs every single week. >> that's the news i'm polly middlehurst. i'm back in an houn middlehurst. i'm back in an hour. see you then. >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com. forward slash alerts i >> welcome along has labour just >> welcome along has labourjust
4:06 am
capitulated on illegal immigration with a week to go, the country saw this exchange last night, but you know where these people come from. >> he's not answering the question. you know where they see that? >> iran. you can see syria, afghanistan. so when keir starmer says he's going to return people, is he going to sit down? are you going to sit down with the iranian ayatollahs? are you going to try and do a deal with the taliban? >> i'm very clear that what we need to do here, we need to get our security of our borders back. they've lost control. 50,000 people have come. we've got to smash the gangs that are doing this in the first place. what >> what labour have said that they will give the 90,000 illegal immigrants currently unable to claim asylum the chance to stay in britain. the point sunak makes is if they've come from the likes of iran or afghanistan, there's no chance of a returns agreement. so basically they're staying here, aren't they? labour say they will work more closely with the eu, obviously smash the gangs as well and look to potentially re—enter that dublin agreement. but there is no evidence that they'll be allowed to do that or if it will work. keir starmers
4:07 am
language when it comes to people crossing the channel in small boats is actually really interesting. just just take a look and a listen to this. >> what you notice now, i think that nobody but nobody should be making that journey across the channel >>i channel >> i think that nobody but nobody should be coming across okay. you could take that one of two ways, couldn't you either ? two ways, couldn't you either? he thinks that these poor people shouldn't be making a dangerous journey across the channel, or they shouldn't be breaking into britain. which one do you think he means? and now, deputy labour leader angela rayner has said every borough in the uk will be required to take their , quote, required to take their, quote, fair share of asylum seekers. she says every borough has an obugafion she says every borough has an obligation to take on their fair share of asylum seekers, but not everyone in hotels that are currently in hotels will be given a right to remain in the uk. well, currently there are four times as many asylum seekers staying in hotels in labour controlled councils as there are in tory areas, and six
4:08 am
times as many as those in lib dem areas. she also said that successful asylum seekers will be eligible to live in the 1.5 million new social homes that labouris million new social homes that labour is planning to build, and labour is planning to build, and labour has pledged to clear. the 35,000 migrants currently living in hotels. so the conservatives say when you add it all together, it would mean about 1300 new asylum seekers housed in your local authority in every local authority. and that's if numbers stay the same , isn't it? numbers stay the same, isn't it? not get worse as many are predicting, but i wonder, do you think your area is already taking its fair share of illegal immigrants and asylum seekers? let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening. i've got former mep in the director of the centre of migration and economic prosperity is stephen wolf. i've got tory peer lord bailey, and i have also got political journalist and broadcaster zoe greenwald and stephen, i'll start with you. so the labour party there then, are
4:09 am
they going to plonk around 1300 asylum seekers into every single local authority? >> no, it's probably about those figures. yeah. when you look at how many have failed asylum seekers in the last 15 years, that's half a million that we haven't sent back. and when you look at the quotes from rishi sunak, most of them is correct. it's iran, iraq, afghanistan , it's iran, iraq, afghanistan, somalia. those are the top countries and we can't send them back to those those countries because they fail. so there's going to be a large numbers. plus we're expecting roughly between 80 to 100,000, not just those coming across on the boats, but those who arrive here in their visas are cancelled or they claim because they've come on the backs of lorries, which still happens. so those numbers are going to increase and it's farcical. it really is farcical to suggest that the building of 1.5 million houses across the next five years will alleviate that.in next five years will alleviate that. in the last five years, the government has built, or rather companies have built 800,000. labour expects to build twice as many just in social
4:10 am
housing. it's ridiculous. >> sean, are we witnessing now a labour capitulation on illegal immigration? >> do you think i wouldn't use the word capitulation? i think it's where they really are . they it's where they really are. they swap the word, asylum seeker and economic migrant. they get swapped. i think this idea that the people who are technically eligible to be deported right now will be given a second chance. shows you to many people, that will sound like there's an immediate rise in the numbers coming. and i said in the very beginning , keir the very beginning, keir starmer's border force will be irrelevant because unless you have a relationship with a country in which those people came from, you don't know where to send them back to, and you certainly won't have the wherewithal to do that. you need a partnership to do that, to be clear, angela is correct. it's a national problem that we should have a national response. but what it may mean for the labour party is national pain, because many parts of the country that are not confronted by the challenges of immigration, who would be if she had her plan and spread them all out? there's a lot of places in scotland. >> i mean, scotland takes a
4:11 am
comparatively very, very few, actually. they've got one of the lowest numbers of migrant hotels, if not the lowest of anywhere in the uk. look, zoe, i mean, you know, we had keir starmer using language like nobody but nobody should come across the channel. as i said earlier, i think that could be taken one of two ways. you've also got the fact that 90,000 people who are currently definitely not going to be able to claim asylum here, could claim asylum under a labour government, and this distribution of people are out now across the country. i just wonder if labour are letting the cat out of the bag a little bit here. >> well, i think anybody who has come over to this country claiming asylum deserves to have their, claim processed and properly assessed. i don't think anybody thinks they should be sat in hotels waiting for years to have their claim processed. that's not it's not good for britain. that's not good for asylum seekers, labour's making the point that actually it's going to fast track asylum cases to clear that backlog. and it won't necessarily be that entire number of asylum seekers. in fact, i'm sure they're hoping it would be much lower. i agree there is an issue here with the returns , deal. i'm not quite returns, deal. i'm not quite sure how that has been
4:12 am
clarified. the problem is, and what i think the reality is, is that labour wants to do a deal with the eu, so it has some sort of returns agreement or some kind of sharing quota with the could that well, could that work, could they get a deal with the eu? >> let's look at the impact of the dublin agreement between britain in 2016 and 17. that's what labour is going to say. it's our big shibboleth. this is going to help us greatly. when we made into the eu dublin agreement, we only sent back 617 people to eu. it's about the same number we're possibly going to send to rwanda. >> actually, yes, that's right. >> actually, yes, that's right. >> but we took 1047. in the same year we made an application for 4000 to send the eu said no . and 4000 to send the eu said no. and that's what will happen again. yeah. part of this dublin agreement is that the eu used it to be able to push more people to be able to push more people to britain, and that will continue . labour is again continue. labour is again whistling in the wind on this. if they think the eu is going to backtrack and let's be clear, the eu is in a bigger problem with its own immigration than it
4:13 am
was at that time. >> so there's just more people to move about. the thing i've always said the response to this will have to be international, but our own national response is to send the message that we will deport people. labour i think, will have a real internal problem with deportations on two levels. one, they simply will never hit any target they set because they don't know where to send these people from. people often just destroy their paperwork. but two are a lot of labour activists and mps will not want to be seen as a party sending people home. >> no, sorry. can i just say this that migrant hotels are one thing. they're costly. they're. i think it's pretty obvious where i stand on migrant hotels, but if i take, for example, the area just just near to where i grew up, there was a four star hotel at the end of my grandma's road, and there was another one a few rows down. both of those are now migrant hotels. there is something at least temporary about a migrant hotel. i wonder , about a migrant hotel. i wonder, under angela rayner and keir starmer, whether actually labour's plan is to just build
4:14 am
social housing in those areas and then move these people in full time? >> well, actually, i don't know why we're focusing so much on social housing. i mean, the 1.5 million new homes is social housing and homes that will be private rented and bought as well. it's not just social housing. and actually, i think it's like 80% of migrants who have lived for , here for five have lived for, here for five years are in private accommodation. they're not in social housing. so actually social housing. so actually social housing. so actually social housing is it's you know, there are plenty of rules in place already in our legislation that make it much more difficult for immigrants to get social housing. well there is though. >> she's homeless. >> she's homeless. >> she's homeless. >> she just said two things. i'll tell you why. we're concentrating on social housing, because the need for social housing is absolute. >> you know why that is? it's acute because the tory government has sold off so many social housing, absolutely acute and when you when you bring those they've not built anymore, when you bring those people in they will be eligible for social housing. >> angela rayner has said so. so that's why people are focusing on social housing because the needis on social housing because the need is acute. >> well, yeah. but also you've got to look at the costs . i
4:15 am
got to look at the costs. i estimated that we're spending around 8 to 10 billion a year at the moment on migration into this country, which includes illegal asylum and the costs around it . when you look at the around it. when you look at the conservative with the labour party's policies , which means party's policies, which means shifting it to different parts of the country, i estimate another 4 billion. and you're giving an example on that. if you're in stockport, an average one bedroom house is £700, but in winchester it's £1,400. if you're going to say you've got to have 1000 in winchester and 1000 in stockport, the cost of the government is going to the bill is going to go up and the impact on people in those areas, you'll find that they will not be able to get social. >> can i just say sorry or ordinary? >> very funny. i know we are pressed for time, but zoe isn't our case to be said. now for people who've weighed up what the tories have said and what labour has said, and if they vote labour and they get labour in their area, then they should take more migrants than the tory seats. >> i think we need to reassess our attitude towards asylum seekers. there are plenty of people in this world who genuinely need to claim asylum,
4:16 am
and we are a very tolerant country and we have always been. we've always taken our fair share of asylum seekers. i agree with sean in that this is a global problem. it's only going to get worse. we're going to see more civil unrest across the globe, more climate change, more economic unrest. people are going to move. we cannot solve this problem on our own as an island. and that seems to be the approach of reform. and the tories thinking we can do this on our own. >> we can't tolerant when we're pulling down our statutes. >> it's not tolerant when we're chasing jews around the country and claiming and shouting at them and abusing them. it's not tolerant when we're destroying our culture. >> the vast majority. no, it's not the vast majority . but even not the vast majority. but even if we've got a suggest, it is even if we're getting a small minority of those people who are abusing the rights of being here, that's what's changing and transforming the cultural aspects. >> now i look at economics, but there are those who look at the cultural side. we can't all say everybody is perfect who comes here. >> not everyone living in britain and british nationals are perfect. i mean, it's i get it. >> as much as it.— >> as much as i it. >> as much as i would to love carry this on, we have we have got other things that we need to
4:17 am
rattle through, including this. after my interview with ann widdecombe, where i weigh right out the wrong list of candidates standing in salisbury. >> so i'm just saying this is why. >> so here we go, madrid . >> so here we go, madrid. laboun >> so here we go, madrid. labour, victoria. charleston. liberal democrats, julian malins, reform uk john glenn , malins, reform uk john glenn, conservative chris harwood, climate party. bonnie norris, green, king arthur pendragon, independent. so there we go . i independent. so there we go. i cleared everything up for everybody now. and there we are. right coming up, i will take you through the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages and our britain's youth shifting to the right of homeless, homeless, english people not getting housed. >> but you have immigrants that come here that are illegal, and they get housed. >> and next you absolutely will not believe what has allegedly been going on in hospital changing rooms due to nhs transgender policy. two female nurses, they've had enough, they are suing and they're bravely speaking out about this as well. they are live here in this studio with their shocking stories. it's a must watch and it's
4:21 am
4:22 am
front pages. there are some great ones on there as well, actually, so i'll get to those shortly. but first, i'm really excited to be talking about this story because i think it really, genuinely does matter a heck of a lot. and i bring you a tv exclusive with two nurses who are blowing the whistle on transgender policies in hospitals, which they say are putting staff at risk. so lisa lockey and also bethany hutchinson are two of four nurses who have launched legal action after a trans male at birth colleagues behaviour reportedly caused female staff at the darlington memorial hospital to suffer panic attacks. now i'm going to throw it over to the ladies here who are on my sofa just to explain the exact situation, because i think when you at home, find out exactly what's going on here, it's probably going to make you spit your dinner out. so bethany, i'll start with you. so just explain to us what the situation is here. you have got someone who's biological male, still a biological male who's allowed to change in your change
4:23 am
room at a hospital. yeah. yeah. >> correct. yeah. yes. so, we first became aware of him sort of, probably about a year ago. a year ago? yeah, about a year ago. and a few nurses, they basically contacted me and said, oh, this is what's happening. i feel really uncomfortable. and i suppose they approached me because i've been working there quite a long time now, and they felt comfortable to do so. and thought maybe something might get done. so we kind of we followed policy , we chatted to a followed policy, we chatted to a sister on the ward and said , sister on the ward and said, could you please pass this on to hr? and she has raised it with hr? and she has raised it with hr and nothing really has been done. this person still continues to change. now changing room okay. >> and it obviously makes you feel quite uncomfortable. and i think i believe that, the person is not on any kind of hormone treatment. >> no, not no . allegedly. no, ho. 110. >> no. >> and is trying to get a, girlfriend pregnant is what, is what we've heard. yes. yeah. >> so really a sexually active i
4:24 am
would say arguably straight man. man. >> yes. yeah >> yes. yeah >> by the traditional definition, i suppose. yeah. how does that make you feel, though ? does that make you feel, though? >> incredibly uncomfortable. it's just it's really uncomfortable. a lot of the girls are feeling really panicky about it. don't want to go in the changing room. >> i've been in tears before their shift, and we're meant to support patients through , you support patients through, you know, something that's quite stressful. yeah. the surgery is surgery, and we're meant to support them. and you know, we're struggling because we're distressed before work. >> i've heard some of your colleagues have had panic attacks. is that right? yeah yeah. there's been incidents where well it's happened with you as well beth, where there's only the individual and one female behind the locked door of the changing room and you know , the changing room and you know, girls have reported feeling really panicked by that, you know, thinking they just they feel so uncomfortable with. >> what's his behaviour like in the changing room. >> inappropriate. i would say
4:25 am
inappropriate. >> it definitely lingers longer than needs. i go in there and i can't wait to get out and get home. at the end of my shift. there seems to be a lot of walking around chatting now. whether this is chatting with, with friends, colleagues of his, i don't know. but there definitely seems to be some, some hanging around . and when some hanging around. and when you, you've gone to hr, i mean look i'll be honest with you i would, i would expect if i walked into a woman's changing room and hung around in there , i room and hung around in there, i would expect there to be some consequences to that . but it consequences to that. but it appears that that's not the case in the nhs at the moment. why do you think this is? are you being told that you've got to be tolerant, or that it'll be educated more? maybe in diversity or whatever it is, the equality act and the you know, that, we, we have to be more, what was the word they used? >> inclusive, more inclusive ,
4:26 am
>> inclusive, more inclusive, that we need to be educated, that, you know, it's kind of like we felt really like we'd been reprimanded, like we were naughty school children that weren't toeing the line and that weren't toeing the line and that we should . that we were bad we should. that we were bad people . people. >> so it's made you feel like bad people. >> oh, yeah. >> oh, yeah. >> completely. and we also feel like there's no chance of us progressing in the nhs at all. we'll have a black mark by our name. you know. we won't be allowed to progress in our jobs because you'd be seen as intolerant or in some way bigoted because you're not accepting this. >> are you worried about the direction of travel here? i mean, presumably this this didn't really exist as a problem. i don't know, maybe ten years ago. yeah. you're worried, are you, that this could become more of a problem now ? more of a problem now? >> well, yeah, i mean, we were told that there is another, another member of staff on one of the other floors in the hospital who, has said that he wants to start transitioning. so we've kind of, you know, we know
4:27 am
it's a problem , that it's it's a problem, that it's something needs to be sorted out for, for transgender people to go in, we don't we don't want to force this person to go in the men's. we don't want them to feel uncomfortable. you know, we don't want to attack this person. it'sjust don't want to attack this person. it's just we want our female only space back. we want to feel comfortable, and we do not feel comfortable . no. not feel comfortable. no. >> and we want a change in policy. yeah. the policy is it's just outrageous to anybody . yes. it's. >> so go on explain that then. so what is the current policy. >> so the policy states that, anybody can self—identify and so anybody can self—identify and so a male can say that they're a female and that's all they need to do. they just need to contact any member of the transition. >> isn't it? it's like it doesn't have to be right. you've got to have been on female hormones for however long or it's literally, you know, if they want to be in there as soon
4:28 am
as they've started the transition, that's fine. >> me now? yes, absolutely . >> me now? yes, absolutely. >> me now? yes, absolutely. >> so i tomorrow i want to change my name and i you could go in conceivably if i got a job in the nhs tomorrow and said, right, i'm a woman now, i could wander into your change it exactly. >> yes. >> yes. >> right. >> right. >> yes . >> yes. >> yes. >> and world. >> and world. >> additionally additionally, if we have any issues with that, we have to go and find somewhere else to change. >> i mean, it is. it is bonkers. i'm going to read to you a couple of bits of morse now. so this is, i think this is wes streeting. is it the shadow health secretary? i support the nurses. all right. he says, and i'm horrified that they've had to resort to legal action. we've got to find a better way through this. i'd be happy to meet them. there you go. so you you might have been aware of this already. we've got to find a way through, that treats trans people with respect and respects women. safe spaces, so that is that is what he's had to say. miriam cates of the tory party has said this. we don't need a better way through. we just need to uphold the rules and boundaries based on the realities of biology and human
4:29 am
nature that all societies throughout all history have upheld. men are not not allowed in women's intimate spaces. that is where it begins. and ends. what do you both make of those two political figures? their comments there ? and is there one comments there? and is there one that's ringing more true for you or or not particularly, i think i don't think either of us have any confidence in wes streeting, you know, he seems to have done a 360. it just seems to be now about getting votes and saying saying the right thing. yeah, that'll that'll please us, because you know, 50% of the population are women , who are population are women, who are going to be voting next week , going to be voting next week, yeah.i going to be voting next week, yeah. i think it's, you know, i think it's just talk. oh absolutely. >> yeah. oh, completely . >> yeah. oh, completely. completely, and can i just ask what? well, there is something on the front of the guardian. i was only aware of this just before. literally as you walked in, actually. but labour are
4:30 am
pledging to ban managers who silence nhs whistleblowers. they say. and you mentioned earlier to me there that you're one of your big concerns is that there'll be a black mark against your name. now you've caused a problem, you've raised an issue and that that will have an effect on your career progression. do you do you see that changing? do you think that that's because because it's a very brave thing that you've done to speak out? i mean, you must really have thought long and hard about whether or not you wanted to. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> yeah, yeah. and what what tipped you over the edge there? because you must have spoken about this quite a bit and thought in an ideal world, you wouldn't with respect, you wouldn't with respect, you wouldn't be on national television. right. talk to me about it now, would you? >> you know, for me, it was, to talking some of our international nurses, that how upset they were, you know, we got talking about it one day, and one of the girls was just saying how she was so absolutely horrified. she she was in the changing room. she took her top off and she heard a male voice. and for her, she panicked. and she literally just she froze in
4:31 am
panic, and i just i could have panic, and ijust i could have actually wept for her. it was so awful to hear that, and that i think that was sort of the turning point for me where i just thought, this isn't right. and it's not fair. >> and now and now this individual, she wears a top and leggings underneath her uniform because she's so terrified that this colleague will walk in and, you know, she'll be you shouldn't have to change your behaviour. >> you shouldn't you shouldn't have to change your behaviour. you shouldn't have to deal with the mental. the job that you guys do is, is so important. and so, you know, stressful and demanding and i imagine emotionally draining at times as well. the last thing you need is, is this on top of that very quickly then. so what's the ultimate resolution for you now. so you've got you've got legal action taking place. just just say what you want to happen there. how's this going to play out. >> do you think we want policy changed. absolutely. we want the government to , whoever it may be government to, whoever it may be that comes into power, they need to scrutinise this and it's
4:32 am
across the board as well. it's not just the nhs. it needs to hit wider society. >> absolutely. because it's happening everywhere. it's happening everywhere. it's happening in shop, changing rooms and things like that. >> yeah. no. look, fair play to you. absolutely. and i know that you're going to there'll be people sitting at home now or listening on the radio or whatever they're doing, applauding both of you in a very, very big way. so thank you very, very big way. so thank you very much for coming on. good luck with everything. i hope that you get exactly what you're after . and i think most people after. and i think most people would. you know, i've said this before, i haven't got children yet. if i do have a daughter, i think, if things do get changed, i would be very grateful for the fact that women like you have actually helped to improve their situation . so thank you very, situation. so thank you very, very much, when we contacted county durham and darlington nhs foundation trust, they said the trust would like to emphasise that at this stage the claims being made are allegations which need to be fully investigated and reviewed. the trust has initiated this through its internal process and this work continues, however, as the allegations are now also subject to an active legal action, it would not be appropriate for the trust to comment further at this stage. deep breaths everyone.
4:33 am
right, okay, that was nhs nurses lisa lockey and bethany hutchison. thank you very much. great to have you on the show. good luck with everything. all right. coming up, a qr code has been attached to a statue of a feminist icon, virginia woolf, to explain why her quotes were quotes are offensive, apparently, is this beyond parody now? are we giving into to wokeism ? and is this why more to wokeism? and is this why more of britain's youngsters are shifting to the right? it's a really interesting clip there. so what do you make of it? i see of homeless, homeless english people not getting housed, but you have immigrants that come here that are illegal and they get housed . yeah. it's get housed. yeah. it's interesting, isn't it? whether more and more young people are going to feel that way. have got tomorrow's front pages hot off the press for you
4:36 am
4:37 am
silence nhs whistleblowers. and they are looking to clamp down on people being silenced, threatened with the sack, etc. if they blow the whistle on malpractice in the nhs. let's go to the daily mail poll that shows it's not too late to stop. starmer supermajority a, quote, terrifying labour supermajority terrifying labour superm ajority could terrifying labour supermajority could be averted. apparently 1 in 10 amounting to more than 4 million ballots are unsure who to back. so the angle on this is that rishi still got a chance. i suppose the i private school fees vat in reevess first budget, but delayed until 2025 and loophole closed . not the and loophole closed. not the most well worded front page, i will say, but , it's all most well worded front page, i will say, but, it's all about the schools and the private schools and the vat. let's go to the daily telegraph. farage is a putin appeaser, says sunak. pm a tax reform leader stance and warns of buyer's remorse. so there we are, the duke of sussex is destroyed. potential
4:38 am
evidence, say lawyers as well. this is an interesting one. prince harry deliberately destroyed potential evidence relating to his high court phone hacking claim against her publisher, the sun. it has been claimed, as a judge has ordered him to explain himself. and we'll go to the metro now . this we'll go to the metro now. this is a very concerning story that i sense is going to be on the other front pages in the coming days. tv paramedic murder probe. so this is a star of a channel 4 show. was found dead next to a nurse. now this has since taken another turn as well because the police have now apparently launched a double murder investigation. as i understand it, the police force involved has also now reported itself to the independent commission, the thinking, the thinking there is because they had some form of previous contact with this couple who have subsequently both ended up dead. so you know that story. i think has probably got a little bit of a way to run on it, hasn't it? i'm joined now
4:39 am
by my press pack and, of course it is. the wonderful former mep and director of the centre of migration and economic prosperity, stephen wolffe, conservative peer, lord bailey, and political journalist and broadcaster zoe greenwald. and i am going to just whizz us straight on to a clip here because it ties in with with the overarching news agenda. and there's no doubt that reform uk are on the rise. but it's not just the so—called boomers throwing their support behind nigel farage's party. data from four major pollsters suggest that as many as 16% of 18 to 24 year olds intend to vote reform next week. clips of nigel farage is, you know , interactions with is, you know, interactions with the youth are getting millions of views on tiktok, a reality that played out when novara media's aaron bastani was out on the streets of chichester of homeless, homeless english people not getting housed, but you have immigrants that come here that are illegal and they get housed. >> so joke, we spend too much
4:40 am
tax money on immigrants and i think that's a joke . and we think that's a joke. and we should worry about our own people before others . people before others. >> do you think the political class generally are doing that then? no. >> i think the conservative party is an absolute joke. and young people in this country don't have a voice, and it makes me sick and so if you if you could vote, lads, who would you vote for? dude, i vote for reform uk probably. yeah, that's the one. >> reform. yes. reform. yes reform uk. >> is that like if you're an actual english citizen, you actually have a voice and what happensin actually have a voice and what happens in this country. but then with a conservative party, we don't ever get a voice , we don't ever get a voice, right, sean, what do you make of that? >> i think what you're sensing there is two things. when you're there is two things. when you're the government, you have to carry the pain of the entire political establishment. so if i was speaking to that young man, i would point out that it's a labour party on many, many levels that have supported the situation with. but to be clear, the government have to take some responsibility for where we are. but the real thing here is about the, the for competition
4:41 am
resources. that is a young man expressing the fact that he fully knows his future will be different because of the level of immigration. now what he also knows is when you talk about these things, you're tired as racist, etc, etc, etc. but that's very important. so the earlier story we talked about angela rayner saying that all boroughs must take their fair share. i did agree with her because a national problem, a national response. but what it means for labour is a national problem because people will feel the cost of immigration themselves. all right. >> sorry . what's your take? on >> sorry. what's your take? on what that that young lad has just said there? >> well, i think he's expressed something that a lot of young people in this country feel, which is that the conservative government have abandoned young people. if you look at the track record of the tory government, youth centres closed higher education funding cuts, you look at how rishi sunak has responded to that. oh, i'm going to put you all in national service. i'm going to make you do maths till you're 18. it's not it doesn't inspire young people. and, you know, quite frankly, the government haven't built enough houses. they are you know,
4:42 am
there's been massive increases in generational inequality. this generation is going to be poorer than its parents. no wonder young people feel disenfranchised. the problem for me is if that young man thinks that reform uk is the answer . that reform uk is the answer. that's where i completely disagree. if you look at reform's manifesto, there's nothing in there for young people. they're not committing to anything in terms of housing. they're scrapping net zero, they're scrapping hs2, they're going to make it harder for students to come over a little bit on, potentially on on student debt, though i do i do get what you're saying, though, stephen, i wonder whether or not actually, you know, this votes for 16 thing and everyone initially myself included, was like, oh, you're loading the dice for a future labour government. >> actually. i mean, they might a lot of them might go, right. >> well, i think they will. what was really fascinating and really important about that is, yes, they're criticising the conservative party. but he wasn't coming out and supporting the labour party because the labour party is also seen as a huge issue, particularly for those who are young and have very little income and at the bottom end, because of the social strata, because they see it as them, not helping them .
4:43 am
it as them, not helping them. all they hear is white privilege for themselves. all they hear is and negative attitudes towards being a man or a male. for example . and that is why you're example. and that is why you're getting this massive division, particularly in young people , particularly in young people, between those who are male, who are starting to for vote reform, and those who who are female, who are voting for other parties. but this is crossing across the whole of europe. it's crossing in canada at the moment where you're seeing it massively. you could see a huge change this is generational, but across the board they don't like the major politicians and they want massive change, an alternative. >> and i don't think we can overstate the impact of tiktok and social media on this as well. it is no coincidence that nigel farage is massive on tiktok, and you do see people of a certain age, a younger age now being more engaged and something completely different. now, cristiano ronaldo is used to being mobbed by his adoring fans, but it's reached a whole new level at euro 2024. three fansinvaded new level at euro 2024. three fans invaded the pitch for
4:44 am
selfies with the portugal star dunng selfies with the portugal star during his team's three nil win over turkey in dortmund on saturday. ronaldo greeted happily posed with the first child. wasn't that keen on the attention of the other two? it must be said, that's him. but last night one supporter went to even more extreme lengths to get to ronaldo after portugal shock defeat to georgia . defeat to georgia. i mean , yeah, it's the way i mean, yeah, it's the way ronaldo just stands there with his arms up . his arms up. >> like, what the heck is going on? the guys initially i watched that and i thought he tried to attack him. >> i don't think it is. i think he's just trying to get one more look at it now. i think he just thought it's his. my chance. i've got to say hello to you. >> it looks like he's been dropped from the sky. >> it does not work from that security, though. no prisoners taken . but ronaldo's reaction is taken. but ronaldo's reaction is another angle of it. i mean,
4:45 am
that level of superstar. >> really ridiculous way to try and get a hug of ronaldo, isn't it? you know. >> come on, give me a hug. >> come on, give me a hug. >> i know. all right. well yes. all right. coming up, coming up, coming up. has this election just got even weirder? in my judge and an incoming labour government. >> ukip shapps. tak tak tak tak tak . tak. >> that is a tory campaign video. and more of tomorrow's news from paper or whatever i'm doing next. pages, papers, whatever. go on, do it.
4:47 am
okay. welcome back to patrick christys tonight, and it's time for more newspaper front pages. hot off the press. let's do it. okay, we've got the mirror. this is why we need to vote labour. it says inside crumbling hospital. that is the time. so it's all right. don't worry. i'll stay on it. the times shoot
4:48 am
illegal migrants dead. reform campaigners a shift in tone. their shoot illegal migrants said reform campaigner farage. aides recorded by undercover reporters. they say it's a campaigner for nigel farage. for what it's worth, nigel farage has hit back on this and said i've met this guy once he was out canvassing. he doesn't really know who he is and also did ask where the media attention was on some other candidates that were standing as well. but anyway, daily express is it now , yeah. why not bbc is it now, yeah. why not bbc paid tv audience to appear at leaders debates. the bbc spent more than £30,000 of licence fee payers money hiring audience members for the tv election debate between rishi sunak and keir starmer. there we go. and yes, there is the mirror, which is a crumbling hospital. they're saying this is why we need to vote labour, because labour will give it more funding so that we go right, okay. joined again by my wonderful panel. you know who they are by now. i don't really need to waste a lot of time reintroducing them, but have you heard of flexitarians? any idea what that means? well, much like having your meat and eating it,
4:49 am
these are people who want to consume less animal produce without giving up on me entirely. basically, these are people who just want to eat a bit less meat, right? and now our nhs is pandering to them. if you are unlucky enough to land yourself in a hospital bed, you can expect to get quorn mixed in with your meat. apparently the move will also help tackle climate change and suit individuals who are eco conscious, stephen is this just veganism a bit by stealth? do we think what's going on? >> i'm sorry, but anyone puts quorn in front of me. i'd rather eat my own toenails. ernest quorn is like concrete wrapped in really bad , gone off flour in really bad, gone off flour with eggs that have been rotten for about six months. i'm sorry. there's just this. not me. give me a steak. let my daughter go. a nice brown sauce on it with lots of pepper in it. she's brilliant. she's going up a meat eater. thank goodness for that . eater. thank goodness for that. i'll only eat meat. >> i don't think quorn are going to be easing off their advertising campaign any time sooi'i. 500“. >> soon. >> i'm not going to be their pr
4:50 am
agent. >> no, no at all. >>— >> no, no at all. >> sure. i do wonder though. seriously, you know you're in a hospital, which is not great. you've got to, you know, eat what's best for you. don't know if a bit of quorn in a sausage isideal if a bit of quorn in a sausage is ideal , is if a bit of quorn in a sausage is ideal, is it? >> i personally don't think it's a big deal, except was this a decision made up for want of a better term work reasons, or was it a decision made for health? now, if someone tells me if a doctor says to me, a nutritionist says to me, look, this quorn stuff help you recover, you wouldn't hear me complain even if the hospital were to serve it. it's fine as long as i have a choice. but when they start foisting their beliefs on you, i always ask the question who gets to choose what is right and is wrong? because if you ask my mum, she'll give you a full sausage. she wouldn't give you a quorn. so. so i think we should let my mum run around to your house. my mum should run the nhs diet thing. she'd do just fine . just fine. >> okay, gonzo. >> okay, gonzo. >> oh, come on, it's a sausage. it's still got pork in it . it's it's still got pork in it. it's got a bit of corn in it. i mean, you know, it's good to eat a bit less meat. it's better for the environment. it's better for
4:51 am
you. corn is high in protein. it's really good for you and for you. less animals. >> should the nhs. >> should the nhs. >> are you going to eat quorn all the rest of this year? then just for i will show. >> how about that? >> how about that? >> nothing but quorn dedication i do wonder, i think the overarching point there probably, surely you are right, is, is the nhs making decisions based on climate change like we've had with electric ambulances , where it's turned ambulances, where it's turned out that quite a few of them couldn't do a full shift, especially around rural areas. and are they making that decision? they're based around environmental reasons or what's best for the patients, but they probably will be able to well, they probably would say corn is high in protein. >> it's leaner. it's probably better for the patient. >> but probably not good enough. >> but probably not good enough. >> it needs to be definitely. >> it needs to be definitely. >> it's got to be definitely. >> it's got to be definitely. >> oh, it's a bit of corn. >>— >> oh, it's a bit of corn. >> all right. well we'll leave that now. yes i showed you a little bit of this earlier on and it completely threw me. but conservative campaign headquarters have. here we go sean have turned up the volume in their latest campaign attack ad on labour. see what you make of this. we have a plan for the
