9:03 pm
calling me an effing. it hurts and it makes me angry. and i think he has some questions to answer when you see reform candidates and campaigners seemingly using racist and misogynistic language and opinions seemingly without challenge, i think it tells you something about the culture within the reform party. our politics and country is better than that . it's my duty to call than that. it's my duty to call out this corrosive and divisive behaviour. >> well, nigel farage said earlier that the comments have no place in the party and tonight has again described the secretly recorded video as a set up. but responding to mr farage's claims, a channel a spokesperson said they strongly stand by what they called rigorous and duly impartial journalism, which they say speaks for itself . in the us speaks for itself. in the us now, and president joe biden says he intends to win the election in his first public event since his struggle during the first televised debate last night . he's the first televised debate last
9:04 pm
night. he's he's been the first televised debate last night . he's he's been speaking night. he's he's been speaking in the last couple of hours at a rally in north carolina, where democrats are hoping to win the state back from republicans this november. he claimed america itself is at stake and accused former us president donald trump of repeatedly lying and says he has the morals of an alley cat after his own shaky performance dunng after his own shaky performance during the debate last night, president biden directly addressed the limits of his old age . age. >> i don't walk as easy as i used to. i don't speak as smoothly as i used to. i don't debate as well as i used to, but i know what i do know. i know to how tell the truth . i know right how tell the truth. i know right from wrong . and i know how to do from wrong. and i know how to do this job. from wrong. and i know how to do thisjob. i know how from wrong. and i know how to do this job. i know how to get things done . and i know, like things done. and i know, like millions of americans know, when you get knocked down, you get back up . back up. >> and just to say former president trump is currently speaking in virginia, we'll have
9:05 pm
more on him in our next bulletin. now, a security guard accused of hatching a plan to kidnap, rape and murder the tv presenter holly willoughby, has been giving evidence in court. police you're under arrest on suspicion of conspiracy to kidnap. >> you do not have to say anything. listen to what comes out . when i say something. it's out. when i say something. it's like gavin plum told chelmsford crown court he's heartbroken, disgusted and shocked that his onune disgusted and shocked that his online chats about the alleged plot have come out. >> but claims it was just a fancy plum from harlow in essex, denies soliciting murder, incitement to rape and incitement to rape and incitement to rape and incitement to kidnap. the trial continues . the met's police say continues. the met's police say a total of 27 just stop oil supporters have been arrested in a coordinated raid after the group threatened to disrupt summer holidays. four people were arrested on tuesday after being identified at gatwick airport and have since been released on bail. it also comes after six members of the group,
9:06 pm
some described as being key organisers, were arrested in hackney in east london last night . were those other latest night. were those other latest gb news headlines? for now i'm cameron walker. more in an hour 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 . forward slash alerts. >> now sir keir starmer and labour are struggling to shake the accusation the party's position on trans rights could put women in girls at risk. listen to jane from london, taking mr starmer to task on single—sex spaces during a radio phonein single—sex spaces during a radio phone in earlier today. >> can you say now? can you say now that you will not allow men , now that you will not allow men, biological men under any guise to come into women's safe spaces? >> we will, of course. >> we will, of course.
9:07 pm
>> can you say that you need to think about 51% of the population who are sick of the absolute twaddle that comes out of your mouth when we ask these questions? >> jane, let me just firstly, we will protect women's spaces. thatis will protect women's spaces. that is my commitment. but i'm not. but just hear me out. there are some people who do not identify with the gender that they are born into . they're they are born into. they're often, traumatised by that. there has been a process in place. >> hang on, hang on, please. where >> and the shadow education secretary, bridget phillipson, didn't fare much better with a similar question. >> trans woman with a penis would use which lavatory ? would use which lavatory? >> well, look, i think it's important that all people feel safe and have dignity. >> and she needs to go to the lavatory. which one does she use? >>i use? >> i think there are a range of opfions >> i think there are a range of options that she hasn't got a range of options. >> respectfully, she's got a she's got a door with a woman on it. she's got a door with a bloke on it. which one does she
9:08 pm
go in? >> bridget phillipson i would want people to treat one another with respect. >> she needs to use the lavatory. shadow secretary of state. which one is she to use? >> i mean, seriously, those performances aren't likely to fill 51% of the electorate with much confidence, and shadow health secretary wes streeting has admitted the party has a lot of work to gain back women's trust. but outspoken backbencher dawn butler immediately undermined mr stratton's conciliatory tone by siding with actor david tennant when he told kemi badenoch to shut up over her views on trans rights. so with sir keir starmer and phillipson unable to give us a straight answer, and the party clearly divided on trans issues , clearly divided on trans issues, can labour be trusted to protect women and girls? right before i go to my panel, let me bring in former labour minister ivor caplin. either seriously, it's a very simple question. why are these people struggling with very, very simple questions? it's binary male or female? it's not that difficult. does labour have a woman problem ? have a woman problem? >> in my view , nana no, it
9:09 pm
>> in my view, nana no, it doesn't have a women problem. we have some of the best, women in in the shadow cabinet right now. and i hope that in, you know, ten days time that they will be in the cabinet. so that's the first thing to say. the second thing is, this has always been a difficult issue for political parties. we've seen what the tories have done over the last, two years where they've just been very happy to effectively, you know, bring about a sort of toxic area around those who are trans and who want to do something . well, what? something. well, what? >> sorry, but why is it same time sorry. >> no, no. >> no, no. >> go on. but but i don't understand. it's not really a toxic asking simple questions about the fact that labour would like to make it easier for people to transition, which could put women and girls at risk . we saw what happened with risk. we saw what happened with nicola sturgeon. isla bryson was the exact example of why this could be difficult and dangerous
9:10 pm
for women. not all trans people are like that. we've known this for years. in fact, most trans people will say that there hasn't really been an issue. and since the until the last few years, where it's become a question of why is it so difficult for these people to answer simple questions? >> well, no, no, i think you're absolutely right about that. i can't answer all, all, all of what you're you're saying there. but what i do know is that in the number of trans people, all they want to be able to do is to be part of, both their time in, in whatever they are doing and also in the more general thing around trans issues in brighton. we have a trans pride coming up in three weeks time, which is likely to be the biggest that's ever been held in in the uk for trans people, these are important things and it doesn't need to be, where people actually take action against
9:11 pm
people and, and that's one of the issues. and i think that when, when and if labour get into power next week, then i think we will be able to deal with this in a right and proper way in exactly the same way that we had to do this in 1997. in relation to, to, to gay men and, and lesbians. so this is not unusual for us to be in this position, it's just about what can we do to make sure we get this right and that we support trans people across the united kingdom? >> well, listen, everybody, i should imagine that the majority of people want support for trans people, but it cannot be at the expense of women. and i think that that is the problem we're having here. and we are 51% of the electorate. so listening to labour shadow ministers unable to answer very simple questions and sir keir starmer getting confused as to how many women have a penis, i think that that thatis have a penis, i think that that that is an issue. i mean, he's now agreed with tony blair that a man has a penis and a woman
9:12 pm
has a vagina, but it took him a long time to come to terms with that. and i think a lot of people are questioning why it's taking these people so long. look, how will the labour party in terms of that then you said, how will they reassure women that they have their best interests at heart? >> i there's two areas. obviously there's the professional sport issue which is a separate one, and then you've got the issues that we're deaung you've got the issues that we're dealing with right now about what what what happens on on a daily basis, in terms of trans people, i am absolutely confident, nana that that if, if we are in government, come on friday, then we will do our best to make sure that we can get this right for the longer term. there's been no attempt by the conservative party to try and get it right at any stage in the last few years , and it's going last few years, and it's going to fall to the labour party to try and get this right and to make sure that trans people, have all the rights that they
9:13 pm
want to have in, in, in various communities around the united kingdom. so we need to get this right, and we need to do it as quickly as as possible. and i am confident that if we are in government, come friday, then that that will be one of the things that will be on the list to be done . to be done. >> all right, ivor, thank you very much. i don't know why people are so confused with it. it's quite simple. a man is a man. a woman is a woman. you cannot change sex. that's what i think. most people think the same thing either. caplin. thank you very much, ryan. let's get the thoughts of my panel. former bbc chief political correspondent john sergeant, former apprentice starjoana former apprentice star joana jaflue former apprentice star joana jarjue and political commentator alex armstrong. let's see what they have to think about this . they have to think about this. so, you know, it seems pretty binary, but it seems pretty straightforward to me. slightly got the walk wrong, but it wasn't my fault, was it? that wasn't my fault, was it? that wasn't my fault, but it does seem a bit odd that these people are struggling with something so
9:14 pm
simple as to male and female anatomy. anatomy, and who has what john? sergeant? what do what john? sergeant? what do what do you make of this becoming such a big political hot potato? >> no, i think it's, it's reducing as a hot potato. people are gradually coming around to where they were a few years ago , where they were a few years ago, which is that men and men, women are women and some people of sand. people often are worried about their their gender, you know, but there are all sorts of things you can't change very much. and when it comes back to the arguments about sport or about private spaces or going to the loo and all the rest of it, there's not a great deal you can do in comparisons with the gay campaign, which was highly successful and worked very well, has not helped the people . yeah, has not helped the people. yeah, in these areas, because they keep constantly thinking it's an analogous it's not at all. the vast numbers of people are gay, vast numbers of people are gay, vast numbers of people are gay, vast numbers of people who are gay have worked out how they want to live, and whether that's possible within the rest of the
9:15 pm
society and the answer is it can be. and they have done it's not so easy with a very small number of people who genuinely are transgender. now, you know, obviously we've all got sympathy for them. it's very difficult for them. it's very difficult for many of them . but the idea for many of them. but the idea that they can simply barge into women's toilets, it's all going to be all right. no, it'd be all right for them, but not for the women involved, not for many of the women involved. and you can't really get round that. there are there is, as nick ferrari was saying, you can't get around the fact male female toilets. that's it. >> well, that should be it. you'd think it would be. but they're having such trouble with it. joana jarjue what do you make of this? because it just seems so absurd that we are. we are where we are, not really. i think it's a transition, you know, it's something that's new. and i think for any kind of movement in society, it takes years and years and years. and i actually think that i quite respect the labour party for pacing themselves when it comes to this, rather than just picking a camp when it comes to something that's to do with ideology and saying, this is this and that's that. when we
9:16 pm
know that there's certain things that have progressed even after the cass report, for example, that said certain things and basically jumped the gun and then had to retract after the cass report. so what they need to do is get into a position where they're in power, do more reports, really do the research , reports, really do the research, and then be able to make a do the research on what though a woman has a vagina or a man has a penis, why? >> look, okay, so i hear you. it took them time. it took her. starmer almost two years to acknowledge that women do not have penises. and in fact, he came out with 99.9% of women don't have penises, which means which meant that 1 in 1000 do. alex, what do you think? yeah. >> i mean, surely this seems to be a problem across the whole labour party, though. >> i mean, we've got david lammy coming out the other day saying he thinks that trans women can grow a cervix , so to speak, that grow a cervix, so to speak, that they can procedure to insert a cervix into them. it's just not biological sense. what's happened to the labour party? i mean, the only time keir changed his mind is when tony blair went on, i think it was lbc or something and said, oh no, no,
9:17 pm
it's pretty straightforward . i'm it's pretty straightforward. i'm off the church of that. a man is a penis and a woman has a vagina. he then then keir starmer goes, that's right. yes, i agree with that. that's my policy too. they don't know what they're this is utter nonsense. and the reality is nana is that they either don't have a plan to address this, which is why they can't answer it, or they do have a plan and don't want the to pubuc a plan and don't want the to public know what the plan is. >> the difference is that they're to here govern everybody. and when it comes to trans hate crime, that's gone up 11% in the last year. so they have to acknowledge that. and the fact that keir starmer was somebody who sat with brianna ghey, his mum did all of these consultations, how awful would it be for him to then come out and say something completely different, or just have different, orjust have a blanket view? and when i talk about, you know, the reports and research and things like that, is that whenever they do eventually make a really concrete decision that they legislate on, they have to be able to say, we have come to this really tough decision that trans women are this tough because of this tough in any way, shape or form. >> we know men and men and women are women. if you're trans, you're sure that 0.1% of people,
9:18 pm
maybe even less than that. why does the entire population of this country need to pander to a small group of people? can't they find the solutions at the end of the day, why is it down to government again? >> legislation? >> legislation? >> i think also, the other problem is you say that trans hate crimes have gone up. yes, because people have been very annoyed by the way that the trans campaign and campaigners have overreached themselves. that's all. i mean, they've gone too far. they, they've laid down laws which in fact are really upsetting people. most people just carry on, get on with their ordinary lives, then genuinely not affected by this. but when they are and if they're constantly reminded of it, don't be surprised if people get angry and react well. >> it's not just that though. let's be honest here. it's in sport where women are being compromised because of this and they've settled it in sport. >> well, they most of them not no no no no no no no no. most of the main sports it has been settled. >> yeah but not fully. and that's, that's why it's so ridiculous. i mean, johanna, surely you can't think that it's okay for men to go against women
9:19 pm
in sort of contact sports? i mean, that hasn't been totally settled. people are still are acting as though that's perfectly okay. women are going to get harmed. >> i mean, this is the thing i almost feel as if and this is why so much research has to be done. on if you've if you've transitioned, for example, how much you know , testosterone, for much you know, testosterone, for example, do you still have do you have a massive, you know, and then you've had you have people, for example, who are intersex, you know, you've got that that sprinter as well who that that sprinter as well who thatis that that sprinter as well who that is maybe has more testosterone condition. >> so intersex is a medical condition. just because somebody is born intersex doesn't mean there's a new type of human we know. what it means is that it's something that's gone wrong. like if you had somebody who was born with one leg, it doesn't mean that there's a new kind of human. it's a one legged human. it means that there's something's gone wrong. so why are we almost pandering to this? as though there's some sort of new thing that's out there? trans has existed since the beginning. we know that. >> i'll tell you where i stand. right. so when it comes to the sports stuff, i'm not so, you know, should they, shouldn't
9:20 pm
they? it's not something that keeps me up at night. what i actually think is important is about the toilets thing. so, you know, we've had, for example, was it isla bryson in scotland who raped two women and then decided to transition? that was 2019. she, he or she was charged depending on what they were going to come back with. >> i want to hear what you have to say, but but we've got to go for the break. but nicola sturgeon i think, called anybody who complained about that racist didn't she? and things like that. so to be honest listen we've gone over already. what a great panel. listen stay with me. still to come was itv news presenter wrong to make the point that there aren't many white male anchors left? ken hines goes head to head with former aide to margaret thatcher, nile gardiner. but before that, joe biden sends shockwaves around the world with this alarming performance. >> we have to do with, look , if >> we have to do with, look, if we finally beat medicare, i can't look. >> the telegraph's tim stanley stanley called it not a debate, but a medical emergency. he joins me live next. i'll also get tim's reaction to the reform racism row after rishi sunak hit
9:21 pm
back. stay tuned
9:22 pm
9:23 pm
9:24 pm
good evening. 25 minutes after 9:00. this is patrick christys. tonight with me. nana akua only on gb news. now coming up, should itv news presenter tom bradby be censored by the broadcaster for saying that there aren't many white male
9:25 pm
anchors left? but over in the us, last night's debate between joe biden and donald trump has plunged the democrat party into crisis after biden's desperate performance. let's have a look at some of his worst moments eligible for what i've been able to do with the with the covid. >> excuse me , with, dealing with >> excuse me, with, dealing with everything we have to do with, look , if we finally beat look, if we finally beat medicare. >> thank you, president biden , >> thank you, president biden, on the total initiative relative to what we're going to do with more border patrol and more asylum officers, president trump , i really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. >> i don't think he knows what he said either. >> yeah, and after that performance, democrats are reportedly pressuring biden to quit and make way for a better candidate. but the president came out fighting at a rally earlier tonight . earlier tonight. >> i don't walk as easy as i used to. i don't speak as
9:26 pm
smoothly as i used to. i don't debate as well as i used to, but i know what i do know. i know how to tell the truth . i know how to tell the truth. i know right from wrong . and i know how right from wrong. and i know how to do this job. i know how to get things done . and i know, get things done. and i know, like millions of americans know, when you get knocked down, you get back up . get back up. >> i think maybe the meds are wearing off or on or whatever, but listen, right now donald trump is actually speaking at a rally in america, so what do you think? i mean, donald trump, he i love that one liner that he came out with where he said, i really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. i don't think he knows what he said either. i mean, that was some put down, but he's speaking right now live at a rally. so what do you think? should biden step aside? i'm joined now by the columnist and sketch writer for the telegraph, tim stanley.
9:27 pm
tim, you were up all night watching the debate for the telegraph. what did you make of it? >> it was extraordinary, wasn't it? he looked like an animated corpse, and one didn't just feel frightened for the free world. one felt really very sorry for him. you've got to remember, this debate was intended to be a trap for donald trump. the plan was to debate trump much earlier than one would normally do, in order to remind the voters of how outrageous and hyperbolic trump can be, to sort of re irritate the american public into voting against him in november. well, that completely backfired, because not just because joe biden was so weak, so aged and so frail, but also because donald trump was surprisingly well disciplined and he benefited from the rules on microphones. the microphones were kept off when trump wasn't supposed to be talking, so that meant that his whole performance seemed much more disciplined and everyone showing the clip as you did, where trump said, i don't know what he just said, and i
9:28 pm
don't think he does either. everybody is showing that clip, but actually, that's the only time that trump directly referenced biden's bad performance. it's not just that we're seeing a decaying biden. we're seeing a new trump here, a much more disciplined trump. and it was a sensible move because biden's age spoke for itself. trump did not have to point it out. >> well, of course they weren't allowed any any notes or any props or anything as well. that was obviously part of the rules. but some people argue that this was actually a way of the democrats kind of testing joe biden. this is why they had it so early, so then they could determine whether they need to change the candidate and would potentially still have time to do that. otherwise, any longer, and it would be too late. >> this is the conspiracy theory, half the debate. so that joe, who refuses to step off the ticket, will realise he did really badly, will be embarrassed and will gracefully step down and release his delegates. well, 24 hours later, it looks like that's not going to happen. joe biden came out fighting with his rally, barack
9:29 pm
obama has endorsed him on twitter. and democrats who were privately saying he's got to go. the donors will pull out. and now publicly making statements of support. you've got to remember, it's very difficult to get rid of joe biden at this point. the only way to do it is for him to voluntarily resign from the nomination and say, i won't accept it. even if he did that, that would lead not to the not to the promotion of kamala harris . she doesn't harris. she doesn't automatically take the spot. it doesn't mean there's a coronation of a preferred candidate. it means an open convention. and the party elites are as nervous about that, about what could happen at an open convention as they're nervous about biden being renominated. always assume the worst when it comes to political decision making. look at our own country. look at the mistakes rishi sunak has made. there's no conspiracy there. i think biden really believes he should run again. his wife thinks he should run again. and i suspect the
9:30 pm
democrats just don't have the wit to replace him with someone else. >> it's well, it's totally embarrassing, really . it was embarrassing, really. it was shameful. and actually, these two hosts had form on being nasty about trump, so you would have expected them to sort of maybe try and do a bit of trump bashing, but that just didn't happen. now back here in the uk, we've got nigel farage, farage with reform uk now there at the centre of a racism storm after a party volunteer was filmed using an offensive racial slur to describe rishi sunak. and rishi sunak has responded to the comments. and this is what he said earlier today when my two daughters have to see and hear reform, people who campaign for nigel farage calling me an effing it hurts and it makes me angry. >> and i think he has some questions to answer. when you see reform candidates and campaigners seemingly using racist and misogynistic language and opinions seemingly without challenge, i think it tells you something about the culture
9:31 pm
within the reform party, our politics. >> so, tim, do you think is rishi right that reform has a deep rooted culture issue ? deep rooted culture issue? >> well, rishi sunak is right to be angry and disgusted, but i think the reform hierarchy is angry and disgusted about this as well, because it's really let their party down. i said when nigel threw himself in and i went to the big rally at clacton, i said at the time, reform is going to have a racism problem because when you are a party that is motivated by sovereignty issues, self—government issues, let's call it what it is, a kind of a soft nationalism. you attract racists and bigots. you just do. and reform did not have the time to winnow those people out. but i don't think the party is institutionally racist. i certainly don't think that. i don't think it's motivated by those issues at all. and they are they are very frustrated and distressed that this is happening. this is and let's face it, the other parties have been looking for something to hit reform on. the first thing was ukraine, and now it's going to be the race issue. and it's
9:32 pm
possibly the thing which is going to put a ceiling on their support. but there is no way that they want this to be happening. and i think it is going to be something which is possibly going to hurt them on thursday. >> and of course, nigel farage openly castigated it as abhorrent and racist and unacceptable, which everybody else has done . and actually some else has done. and actually some of the other parties had similar issues like the far left are attracted to the far left. as nigel pointed out, and so on and so forth. >> and labour has had antisemitism. tory mps have been expelled for bigotry. they've been expelled for accusations of rape. they've been expelled for accusations of corruption. this happensin accusations of corruption. this happens in all parties, i'm afraid. politics attracts nasty people and the differences is that reform is a start up and it just hasn't had the time to weed people out. well, maybe that's part that was probably part of rishi sunak's plan to sort of call a quick election like that for things, reasons like that. >> tim stanley, we're running out of time. really good to talk
9:33 pm

news presenter tom bradby is under for fire comments that he made in a recent interview with the radio times when he asked what he was asked. when asked how he felt about being seen as pale, male and stale in the industry, bradby said there aren't many white male anchors left. dare i say so ? i feel left. dare i say so? i feel a bit less nervous about that than possibly i should. three colleagues have taken offence and wrote to itn, ethnic minority network and power to ask that he be censored. the network has said. we explained that whilst there is enormous respect for tom, his comments have had an adverse impact on members given what they implied about diversity at itn and within the industry, and given how they have been jumped on by some. with a divisive culture war agenda. and of course, this follows allegations in march that itv's commissioner nicola lloyd, told industry execs that the broadcaster does not want white men as talent. so tonight i'm asking should itv news
9:39 pm
presenter tom bradby be censored for his comment about white male anchors? well, joining let me know your thoughts as ever, head to gbnews.com/yoursay or tweet me gb news @gbnews. and whilst you're there, why not vote in our poll and i'll bring you those results in a few minutes? but first we're going head to head a former chair of haringey independent stop and search monitoring group, ken haynes, also former aide to margaret thatcher. nile gardiner right. i'm going to start with you, nile gardiner. all right. he made the comments that there aren't many white male anchors left. in fact, he thought he was the only one. he's actually factually incorrect because our very own stephen dixon will be hosting our electric our election coverage with camilla tominey. but you know what? his point where his point was the point where his point was the point out of order. >> nana. thanks very much for having me on the show today. and i think it's really ridiculous that tom bradby is under fire within itv from some clearly very sensitive sort of woke
9:40 pm
snowflake individuals within the itv corporation complaining about his remarks. he will simply just responding to a question from the radio times. i don't think he meant any kind of offence whatsoever. and i do think that, you know, the left try to weaponize these issues all the time when we shouldn't really be considering the colour of someone's skin at all, for news presenting, it shouldn't matter whatsoever. but for the left , of course, they try to left, of course, they try to turn these situations into some kind of crisis. and i think the attacks on tom bradby, who's a very nice fellow and i think has done an outstanding job for many years, itv, i think these attacks are completely out of order. and i think that it's a sort of whining , whinging from sort of whining, whinging from the, from the woke left that you get all the time, and, and i don't think he should be, censored for here simply making a few remarks to , i think the
9:41 pm
a few remarks to, i think the radio times. so, so, i don't think he said anything remotely controversial here, and, and, you know, the these lefties are always complaining, constantly calling for people to be sacked and so on. i think it's gone too far, but it seems like the woke has kind of reversed on itself and is now biting its own tail again. heinz, is there something wrong with what he said? it was almost factually correct. >> well, what it demonstrates to me, first of all, at the very minimum, it was clumsy. me, first of all, at the very minimum, it was clumsy . at at minimum, it was clumsy. at at most it showed that he's what he's got is , it wounded his he's got is, it wounded his wounded. ego needs to have some work done on it, on himself. he needs to reflect because diversity should be should be welcome. because for far too long, the industry has had a monopoly of white jim, predominantly white men, as
9:42 pm
anchon predominantly white men, as anchor. and as i said, it's very important for people like myself of from my background to see people like like ourselves in those anchors, spots. yeah, but, but and i welcome yourself nana being on this platform. >> well, well, i'm here because i'm good, not because i'm black. >> i know, and it gives us. it gives me hope. but but hang on. if it was said the other way round. so if i said oh there aren't many black female anchors that might have been welcomed that might have been welcomed that comment might have been welcomed, people might have observed it and said that's terrible. let's get some more black females in and so the colour would, would may have been irrelevant. so why is it such a terrible thing for him to say , why is he being attacked, say, why is he being attacked, ken? just why has he been attacked in this way? >> well, i won't put it as as bad as that has been. obviously it's insensitive. i would say on the scheme of things, it doesn't warrant any censorship on that. but what it does warrant is, a
9:43 pm
degree of reflection by tom. because again, you know, maybe , because again, you know, maybe, as i said, he's come probably he's from a privileged platform and, and he doesn't take change very easily. he doesn't embrace it and he needs to look and see where that wounded, wounded self is coming from or that negative part of him is still exhibiting that privilege , that privilege, that privilege, that privilege, tone that he gives. >> obviously , he's not here to >> obviously, he's not here to defend himself. but niall, do you think ken has some sort of point that perhaps tom is extremely privileged and is wounded slightly and is slightly worried that he's he said he should be worried, but he's not. what? what do you think ? what? what do you think? >> no, i think those attacks are completely, unwarranted. actually and you know, this idea that someone like tom bradby should engage in, self—criticism sounds like sort of communist stuff from the chairman mao era,
9:44 pm
actually. i mean, it just sounds utterly ludicrous. and this, this day, day and age , and i this day, day and age, and i think this, this whole sort of dei, you know, diversity, equity, inclusion drive, which is so powerful, of course, in the united states right now, it's moving into into the uk. it's very politically motivated, and, and i think it goes against, you know, the view that, you know , we should judge that, you know, we should judge people really by their character , by, by their talent on merit, not upon, the colour of someone's skin or whether they're male or female. and, you know, i think the left tries to, to really advance a very dangerous kind of identity politics in every sphere of society. and i think that's fundamentally removed from the original vision of martin luther king junior, for example, who fought against exactly this. and i do think that, you know, the left try to, to weaponize, issues of race all the time for political reasons. and, and i
9:45 pm
don't think that, you know, tom bradby in any way here is expressing remotely some kind of racist point of view or that he should apologise or engage in self—criticism, i do think that , self—criticism, i do think that, you know, the once again, this is an example , of the left. is an example, of the left. really, advancing sort of far left wing dei ideology instead of embracing just the general principles of colourblindness, merit and judging people by by their character. >> do you think , actually, >> do you think, actually, what's happening here is once you start to keep focusing on someone's colour, then you start to ignore a little bit of what talent you're looking for. ken. because ultimately, the nicola lloyd, who was one of the commissioning editors, was saying, oh, no more white men, please sort of thing. but actually , if we stopped talking actually, if we stopped talking so much about what colour someone is and focused on the abilities and ignored the colour equation, that actually things would equalise, more quickly, what do you think, ken? final word to you.
9:46 pm
>> i believe , of any, any kind >> i believe, of any, any kind of war that you you're the one with all the spoils and all the assets. with all the spoils and all the assets . you don't want to lose assets. you don't want to lose anything. but if you are on the other end, the person who's knocking the door and want to come in and, and even though you might have more talent than some of the people that are currently on that platform, you don't get a look in. and i think, as i said, even now, i think he needs to do a little bit of work on himself. you know, because nobody's mentioned anything about a racist aspect of it. we just, we put about about the change and about the privilege that you platform that they have that you platform that they have that they're not even realising that they're not even realising that they've got that platform. but from from my aspect, from being from on the street side of thing. it's about time that we saw people who look like me. >> well, listen, ken, i've got to go because we're running out of time. but it's really good to talk to you both, nigel gardner
9:47 pm
and ken haynes. really good to talk. thank you very much for joining us. so what do you think? should itv news presenter tom bradby be censored? your verdict is now in. 14% of you agree that tom bradby should be censored for his comments, whilst 86% of you say that he should not. coming up, rishi sunak speaks out over the reform uk racism row . uk racism row. >> when my two daughters have to see and hear reform, people who campaign for nigel farage calling me an f it hurts and it makes me angry. >> so is there an issue with the culture of nigel farage's party? my culture of nigel farage's party? my debate, my panel will debate that at ten, but next, nearly 30,000 more channel migrants by the end of the year. how many would be granted asylum under a labour government ? i'll give you labour government? i'll give you the views of former ukip leader henry bolton , and he'll react to henry bolton, and he'll react to a woke university banning the term illegal immigrant. this patrick christys tonight. only on gb news
9:48 pm
9:49 pm
9:50 pm
good evening. if you
9:51 pm
just tuned in. where have you been? this is patrick christys tonight with me. nana akua only on gb news and coming up, the organisation and the refugee council have predicted that nearly 30,000 more migrants will cross the english channel by the end of the year. now that would add up to the 60,000 illegal immigrants already earmarked by the tories to be deported to rwanda. but labour have made clear that they would abandon the rwanda plan. >> does anybody seriously think that not processing the claims where now record numbers are coming across the channel, is operating as a deterrent ? operating as a deterrent? because we've had more coming in the early months of this year than we've ever had before. it is the absolute opposite of a deterrent, but i don't accept that. the only answer to this conundrum is what we do when people have arrived. just because the government has lost control of the borders that the channel control of the borders that the channel, i'm not prepared to take the same route . take the same route. >> but in the next six months, the asylum backlog is predicted
9:52 pm
to reach as many as 90,000 people. so i'm joined now by former ukip leader henry bolton. henry, the tories have allowed tens of thousands to pour into this country. our labour wrong to grant these people asylum. now >> yeah, look, i think that, what, we can expect the labour party to do, presuming they, they win the election is, first of all, they will attempt to join the eu's asylum and migration pact, which will mean that they can stop the small boats by taking all of these people in from the european union, who are presently crossing in small boats, and bnng crossing in small boats, and bring them in, if you like, sort of provide them with a seat on a ferry or a or a seat on a plane to bring them into the uk as the uk sort of part of the eu approach. under that pact. so and keir starmer i can imagine would, would declare that as a win because he would say that this is now a safe route for people to come into the european, into the united kingdom. however, that is only
9:53 pm
going to trigger an increase in the number of people already travelling to the european union with the purpose to getting to the uk. it's just going to make it a much more seamless process for them, the other thing is labouris for them, the other thing is labour is being seen by the migrants and by the, the people smugglers as a soft touch, keir starmer is going to have to overcome that if he wants to , overcome that if he wants to, sort of act as a deterrent. his government act as a deterrent to, to them sort of building their business, seeing this as this is an opportunity to build their business. and as for the, their business. and as for the, the backlog , well, the only way the backlog, well, the only way that keir starmer is going to clear the backlog is to actually pour huge resources into the system, which is actually probably what's needed, at massive additional expense on top of all of the expenditure that he's already planning to sort of impose on the taxpayer, in other areas and all that, all that he's going to do, in effect, is give them give them a
9:54 pm
green light. it's basically going to be an amnesty process. and the reason for that is, as the prime minister quite rightly told him in the in the debate that they had, that you can't simply send people back to afghanistan or to iran or to syria unless you're going to deal with the regimes there. so this is going to the overall result of this is going to be higher rates of economic migrants coming to the uk to claim asylum. as for legal immigration, which is the other side of it, and actually bigger numbers, henry, i think labour. sorry. >> one second, henry, because you're on a bit of a roll. i've got to stop you there because i've got to ask you. you've not got long. well, keir starmer says that he's going to have this border control, border command, or whatever he's calling it. he's going to smash the gangs, and he said he's done it before. he's worked with all different international agencies, and he does have a good grasp of all the legal procedures and processes within it. so why might that not work? i mean, you've got about 30s ,
9:55 pm
i mean, you've got about 30s, okay, it might not work because he's not going the full hog with it, i've long advocated that we should robustly hunt down organised crime beyond the european union, beyond europe's borders, because that's where it starts, and actually track them down, hunt them down, destroy and disrupt their, their networks. >> now that's what he should do. i said, as i said, 30s henry, thank you . thank you. >> henry, that's a revolt and lovely to talk to you. right. coming up, former mp sir brandon lewis is live in the studio to conduct a full inquest into the tory party. but next, earlier tonight, nigel farage sensationally claimed against the racist campaigner for reform uk was in fact a plant. channel 4 have issued a robust denial and rishi sunak has spoken out all of that to come. but first let's get an update with your weather with alex deakin. do not go anywhere . go anywhere. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news
9:56 pm
>> time for your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. good evening to you tomorrow a bit of a three way split with our weather bright and breezy across scotland with and breezy across scotland with a few showers. mostly fine and sunny across east anglia and the south east, but in between this weather system is creeping towards us. not a particularly potent one, but it will bring cloud and some outbreaks of rain. that's starting to move across the republic of ireland at the moment and spreading towards wales and southern parts of northern ireland by dawn. still a few showers across the far north and west of scotland. still quite breezy here as well, but elsewhere the winds pretty light with some clearer skies. temperatures will dip down to single figures, but actually turning quite cloudy, but that will keep the cloudy temperatures up across wales and northwest england through the early hours . the cloud will early hours. the cloud will increase a little bit across southwest england too . so a grey southwest england too. so a grey start here for some. maybe the odd shower, but for much of east anglia in the southeast, fine and sunny and for a good part of scotland and northern ireland,
9:57 pm
certainly the north of northern ireland. fine start to saturday. some decent spells of sunshine, still quite breezy across the far north and still plenty of showers packing in across caithness, sutherland, the western isles and the northern isles. they'll keep going for much of the day, but a good chunk of scotland will be dry. this cloud and rain, though likely to stick around. not much rain, i suspect getting to the east of the pennines, but still predominantly cloudy here. dull and damp on some of those coasts across northwest england. north and west wales throughout. but brighter skies further south and with a bit of sunshine 25 degrees is possible across the south—east, scotland and northern ireland in the high teens , but with a bit of teens, but with a bit of sunshine, it shouldn't feel too bad because the winds will be lighter tomorrow compared to today. mostly fairly light winds on sunday as well. some rain will head back towards shetland. could start quite grey in the south with 1 or 2 showers here. quite a bit of cloud on sunday, but i'm still optimistic that many places will see some sunny spells and we've lost the heat from earlier in the week. temperatures at or a touch below
9:58 pm
average looks like things are heating up. >> boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb

10:01 pm
get, the more chance the conservatives have of winning. >> david cameron has been blamed. i'll sit down with former lord chancellor sir brandon lewis to ask what the future holds for his party. plus, at least joe biden still has one fan. joe, you did such a great job. >> you answered every question. >> you answered every question. >> i'll show you a brand new clip from today's rally that doesn't paint biden in a great line again. i'll also have the first of tomorrow's front pages with my press pack. former bbc political editor john sergeant ex—apprentice starjoana political editor john sergeant ex—apprentice star joana jarjue arne slot, political commentator alex armstrong. oh, and what happens next here? get ready, britain, here we go . britain, here we go. does reform have a culture problem? next.
10:02 pm
>> good evening. it's 10:01. problem? next. >> good evening. it's10:01. i'm cameron walker here in the gb newsroom. the prime minister says nigel farage has questions to answer after a video emerged of a campaigner making racist comments . andrew parker was seen comments. andrew parker was seen making a series of offensive remarks about rishi sunak. he's now apologised but insists he was goaded into making them. rishi sunak says it's part of a broader pattern of behaviour. well, tonight nigel farage has reiterated the comments have no place in his party and has doubled down on his claims. a secretly recorded video is a set up, a channel 4 spokesperson says they strongly stand by what they called rigorous and duly impartial journalism to the us now and president joe biden says he intends to win the election in his first public event since his struggle during last night's television debate. he's just been speaking at a rally in the last couple of hours in north
10:03 pm
carolina, where democrats are hoping to win the state back from republicans this november, he claimed america itself is at stake and accused former us president donald trump of repeatedly lying and said he has the morals of an alley cat after his own shaky performance during the debate last night, president biden directly addressed the limits of his old age. >> i don't walk as easy as i used to. i don't speak as smoothly as i used to. i don't debate as well as i used to, but i know what i do know. i know how to tell the truth . yes how to tell the truth. yes i know right from wrong and i know how to do this job. i know how to get things done . and i know, to get things done. and i know, like millions of americans know, when you get knocked down, you get back up . get back up. >> but former us president donald trump has been speaking at a rally in virginia tonight. he reacted to joe biden's performance from last night's tv
10:04 pm
debate. >> he's grossly incompetent. you know, they keep saying old i know, they keep saying old i know people that are much older than him that are doing unbelievable things. it's not his age. it's his competence. he's not respected anywhere in the world. our country is being laughed at all over the world. >> police are concerned for the welfare of a man who's been missing for just over a week. 18 year old dylan duffy, from oldham, was last seen boarding a train from manchester piccadilly to london euston on the 18th of june. cctv has captured him leaving the station that evening. he was last seen wearing a black tracksuit and a grey baseball cap and wearing a backpack , and the house and backpack, and the house and a house in los angeles, where marilyn monroe lived and tragically died, has been saved from demolition. the couple, who bought the property , who already bought the property, who already live in a neighbouring one, plans to replace the building with an extension, but the city council have now declared it a historical landmark. scuppering. the extension plans . but the
10:05 pm
the extension plans. but the couple reportedly have no plans to put it up for sale and say they'll appeal the decision. it was the only house ever owned by the hollywood icon. she lived there for six months until her death in 1962. well, those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm cameron walker, more in an hour 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 . slash alerts. >> now, an emotional rishi sunak has responded after a reform uk volunteer used a racial slur against him . against him. >> when my two daughters have to see and hear reform, people who campaign for nigel farage calling me an effing . it hurts calling me an effing. it hurts and it makes me angry and i think he has some questions to answer and i don't repeat those words lightly . you know, i do so
10:06 pm
words lightly. you know, i do so deliberately because this is too important to not call out clearly for what it is . clearly for what it is. >> now. the reform volunteer is a man called andrew parker, and he has since apologised , saying he has since apologised, saying he has since apologised, saying he was goaded on by undercover reporters. nigel farage condemned the comments yesterday, would you apologise to the prime minister for the appalling racist way that one of your campaigners spoke about rishi sunak was horrible? >> do you apologise to the prime minister it was horrible. that's not quite an apology, is it? >> you can't. you can't. how much further can i go? of course. it's an apology. it's horrible. i don't know who this bloke is. somebody i met once years ago. i mean, awful, horrible, horrible. almost as bad as. almost as bad as the labour candidate in clacton. and his slurs are white people. have you covered that? >> i'm here to focus. >>— >> i'm here to focus. >> have you covered the labour? no, no. >> and today it emerged that mr parker is a part time actor who reportedly lists secret filming among his skills, something nigel farage was keen to stress
10:07 pm
in the last couple of hours. speaking on the bbc. >> what happened over the last weekend was truly astonishing a tirade of invective abuse directed at the prime minister. i mean, the whole thing was unbelievable. he didn't ring true. so i checked it out. it turns out the man that did this is an actor on his own site. he says, i'm a well—spoken actor with an alter ego. i do rough talking, let me tell you. from the minute he turned up in that office in clacton and i saw him, he was acting from the very start. he even says on his website, hire me. i do undercover filming. this is a total and utter set up. >> the channel 4 strongly refute those claims and a spokesperson for the broadcaster said we strongly stand by our rigorous and duly impartial journalism, which speaks for itself. we met mr parker for the first time at a reform uk party headquarters,
10:08 pm
where he was a reform party canvasser. we did not pay the reform uk canvasser or anyone else in this report. mr parker was not known to channel 4 news and was filmed covertly via the undercover operation and mr sunak believes this episode speaks volumes about the culture in the reform party. >> well, when you see reform candidates and campaigners seemingly using racist and misogynistic language and opinions, seemingly without challenge, i think it tells you something about the culture within the reform party. >> so is the prime minister right that reform has a culture issue and does mr farage have questions to answer? well, let's get the thoughts of my panel . get the thoughts of my panel. former bbc chief political correspondent john sergeant, former apprentice starjoana former apprentice star joana jaflue former apprentice star joana jarjue and also political commentator alexander armstrong. commentator alexander arm strong. look commentator alexander armstrong. look at that timing. got it. very good. got it. you didn't
10:09 pm
see me running the first bit. i'm gonna start with you, alex. doesit i'm gonna start with you, alex. does it does it appear that reform uk have an issue in this area? >> well, look, let's be clear. the comments that have been made on that tape are disgusting. i want to make that really, really clear. but for the prime minister to say there's a culture in the whole party because of potentially let's be clear, this, this is looking like a bit of a dodgy situation with this bloke , potentially with this bloke, potentially some comments made by a few individuals to smear potentially millions of voters that are going to put their x next reforms boxes. disgraceful. do we do we smear the whole tory party for frank hester's words and call them all racists for that, for what he said about diane abbott? no. do we smear the whole labour party for what the whole labour party for what the clacton candidate or diane abbott says and call them racists? no. so let's be clear about what the prime minister is trying to do by saying there's a culture in reform. he's trying to smear the whole party. he's trying to smear the people that are going to be voting for him. i'm going to be voting for reform. i'm not a racist person. i would never make those
10:10 pm
comments. so hopefully i'm more representative of people who are going to vote for reform than any of those vulgar comments that are made out of potential actor, and some nasty other activists and candidates. >> well, the nigel farage has said that a lot of the people who may have aligned themselves with the bnp or other sort of right leaning parties may have sort of been absorbed within his own party. he says that and actually says that what he did was probably help to squash the bnp because of that. but obviously every party will have its extreme elements. is that not fair to say that maybe this is just one extreme element? the left have their own? joanna, in a way, yeah. i'm not saying that, you know, all reform voters are racist and maybe you do, you know, represent a certain pocket. but we can't ignore the fact that there is something about nigel farage that does draw in some people who are really more extreme and really more racist. and i don't think that it's even, you know, just a culture issue. i think it's a racism issue across the board that the reform party has. and having said that, actually, i'm not saying that other parties haven't had racism issues. labour party with
10:11 pm
anti—semitism. the conservative party with islamophobia. but the difference is that it's almost like a trickle down effect with the reform party. what is it about nigel farage that does actually hold on with some of the comments that you're blaming? >> you're saying it trickle down, you're saying it's from the top. yeah. so you're saying it's coming from nigel farage. that's what you're saying. absolutely. okay. okay. give me one racist thing that nigel farage has said. i'm just i'll just wait for you, okay? >> so he defended the c—word, speaking to, referring to the chinese people he's defended, he said, what did he do that? >> sorry, did the c—word. he defended that using the c—word in reference to chinese people. >> we all know that . >> we all know that. >> we all know that. >> the c—word, i mean, i'm not. >>— >> the c—word, i mean, i'm not. >> and then he's also said that principles of, enoch powell's , principles of, enoch powell's, speech of rivers of blood. he agrees with. >> where was that, though? i mean, you know, like these he's said it literally at an event. >> he said that there were principles of enoch powell's rivers of blood speech that he agrees with. he's also referred to things like the israel lobby. so, like i said, all parties
10:12 pm
have had their moments and candidates and, you know, mps that have made racist comments on on both sides. but the difference is nigel farage seems to just hit every single, even with women, even with women defend himself. >> i'm not, you know, like i don't have the full knowledge of that one, so anybody can google it. but alexander. >> yeah, look, there's a big difference between the way reform behaves compared to the labour party. the labour party still standing. diane abbott, who's made ridiculous racial slurs and they're still standing. joe varne in clacton reform boot these people out as soon as they find out about them. those people have been booted out the party with himself because he's made his comments. >> yeah, but but let's be fair. i mean, he did ask actually if anyone could give a comment that he's made that is racist and they couldn't answer it. john. sergeant. no, i think yeah. >> i mean, the obvious point is that if you are right wing and you're racist, you will be attracted to many of the policies of the reform party. there's no escaping that. if you're very keen on net zero immigration, if you're very keen on britain having as many as few people as possible coming in
10:13 pm
from abroad, don't be surprised if that doesn't excite people who do go around saying terrible things and terrible racist things, but i don't think that's quite a fair comment, because if you look at maybe the working, the sort of, sort of working class sort of element of the labour party, which was what it used to stand for. >> these people were very nationalistic in terms, i know. so i'm just saying to you, so if you're saying that, i'm not saying for a moment i would say that. >> what about racists in labour aren't racist in the conservative gatherings? yes, that's certainly true . but all that's certainly true. but all i'm saying is that this is these specific policy that that reform have and are proud of and are very keen to talk about the immigration election and all the rest of it. don't be surprised if people don't like immigrants and don't like people of a different colour who are then attracted to the reform party. >> i don't know. no no no no no. you've got to admit, but every party has admitted no. >> but they don't have the same policies. look, there's no the other parties. >> no, no, no, but every party.
10:14 pm
wait a moment. >> the other parties are not saying, for example , net zero saying, for example, net zero immigration. now, let's not be sort of. >> oh, hold on. sorry. let's not be mad about this. >> i'm trying to say this. no, but every party has admitted that there is a problem with immigration. so it's not just reform uk. everyone has admitted that there's too much immigration in this country and that we need to control our borders. >> can i now just not exclude? >> can i now just not exclude? >> sorry, this is not exclusive to reform. >> so can i just say something because you said a lot? i know i haven't said very much about this. these are specific policies which cut them out from other the other parties. and nigel farage is very proud of this. and rightly so. these are distinctive policies that he's gone. distinctive policies that he's gone . but you can't then at the gone. but you can't then at the same time say, oh, well, we don't want you to be supporting us because some of these people are going to be supporting reform and they're not going to be supporting the conservatives or labour because they don't like the liberal consensus of don't, don't be horrible about foreigners. don't be horrible about people of a different colour. that's just true. >> each party has clearly not
10:15 pm
all the same as clearly expressed that they want to bnng expressed that they want to bring down immigration. the labour party has said the same thing as well. so to say that people who want lower immigration specifically, specifically to reform uk, i think is wrong. why? >> why is that? you're saying the same thing. >> you're repeating the way that the way that they reference it, speaking about immigration, whether it's net immigration or illegal immigration, is completely fine to discuss that to and say, look, the numbers, you know, based on where we are as a country, fine, it's fine to discuss that, but it's the way that you discuss it and it's about it's about the historical way. >> has nigel farage discussed immigration that makes you feel like he's a racist? >> he's just telling people he's a racist. >> scot. no, i'm not saying that you are, but but joanna has. and the reality is, is that you can't call someone a racist who's made who's not made any racist comments. the reality is, is that people are going to reform because they see a party that's actually going to deal with perhaps their number one issue that they feel is plaguing this country, which is too many immigrants coming into the
10:16 pm
country, which is putting pressure on our nhs, putting pressure on our nhs, putting pressure on our schools , putting pressure on our schools, putting pressure on our schools, putting pressure on our economy, putting pressure on our economy, putting pressure on our housing. why is that racist? >> there's nothing racist about that. why can't joana jarjue? >> why can't you? >> why can't you? >> that's not just my view. that's millions of people's view. >> joanna, why can't you acknowledge that two things can be right at the same time? >> you represent clearly the decent portion of the reform party, but also they could be other people who feel as if nigel says it how it is. nigel is a straight up. and actually let's reference back to things like when we were going through brexit and it had that breaking point poster of a sea of brown faces. so hold on saying breaking point is if we're going to have some sort of big joanna look briefly come back on, then just let's just look at the way that these parties deal with racism and nasty allegations hit at them. >> if nigel farage agreed with these people , he'd go, i'm not these people, he'd go, i'm not doing anything about it. unfortunately, when you look at the labour party, you guys keep racist in your party and you put them up for election. nigel farage is standing them down at a so he should stand himself down. >> but he's not a racist.
10:17 pm
>> but he's not a racist. >> you're just making up allegations, making allegations. it is easy. >> it is too easy, guys. hang on. sorry. i'm speaking. it is too easy to suddenly call someone a racist because they want to bring down immigration. and. no, no, that's not what. sorry. let me finish. >> let me finish the right thing. >> it is too easy to do that and then castigate people. but listen, because we've mentioned clacton, here are the candidates. >> very smooth . >> very smooth. >> very smooth. >> shin bet owusu, nepal for the labour party giles watling, the conservative party matthew best, bensalem for the liberal democrats. nigel farage, reform uk and natasha osborne, the green party. all right, craig jamieson, the climate party, tony mac , independent, tasos tony mac, independent, tasos papanastasiou, the heritage party and andrew pemberton, ukip . well, coming up, prince harry's latest phone hacking case hears claims that he deliberately destroyed potential evidence. and why is joe biden speaking to her husband like a
10:18 pm
toddler? joe, you did such a great job. >> you answered every question. >> you answered every question. >> the biden meltdown and all of tomorrow's newspapers today. they're on the way next. who or what is to blame for the likely tory wipe—out? lord frost has laid it at the door of david cameron. i'll ask the former lord chancellor, sir brandon lewis , if he agrees. sir lewis, if he agrees. sir brandon's live in the studio next. do not go anywhere
10:19 pm
10:20 pm
10:21 pm
10:22 pm
good evening. this is patrick christys. tonight with me. nana akua only on gb. news now. all of tomorrow's front pages coming up very soon. but first, with just under a week to go until the country goes to the polls on july the 4th, boris johnson's ally, lord frost, has blamed the impending tory wipe—out on the party's leadership. the return of what he termed cameron ism and the recent election betting scandal. writing in the telegraph, he said since the autumn reshuffle and the disastrous mistake of returning to cameron ism, including by bringing back the man himself since the persistent failure to do what was necessary to control the small boats problem, disaster has been inevitable. a poor campaign has been compounded by the appalling betting scandal and its ponderous handling. i admit that as it spread, i seriously
10:23 pm
considered cutting up my party card. well, i'm joined now by former conservative justice secretary sir brandon lewis. brandon, thank you very much for joining me. so what does the future look like for the conservative party? >> well, there's no question we've got a challenging week ahead. there's a huge amount of work to do. i've been out myself this afternoon, actually with, with some of our volunteers getting the deliveries done. and, you know, our volunteers across the country are working so hard because there's going to be a huge number of seats that are going to be decided by potentially very small margins, that extra bit of work that people are putting in this week, our brilliant party members could well make a difference. i think the focus is on that. but nobody can deny this is going to be a very, very tough week for us. >> us. >> well, it's a total, utter mess though the conservatives got themselves into. i mean, they had an 80 seat majority, which they literally just blew apart, but who do you blame for if you were to look at this , who if you were to look at this, who would you say is responsible for the mess that the party finds itself in? >> well, as you say, when you if you look back to 2019 to think about going for an 80 majority
10:24 pm
to where we are today, we would have thought it was unthinkable. we were all thinking about and talking about a ten year boris johnson government, and i suspect there will be a—level exam questions about this somewhere down the line in the future . but where i slightly future. but where i slightly disagree with david, i mean, there is culpability. absolutely. and obviously we've not you know, we've seen through this election campaign some really challenging days that have been self—inflicted. there's no getting away from the reality of that. but i think there's a multitude of issues. you know, apart from 14 years in government, it's challenging. if you look, nobody's ever succeeded at winning another term after that period of time in government. but i think also, if you look since 2019, with a government that's had to deal with covid, with ukraine, there's a whole range of things over a period of time that are built up. i think actually might have been on gb news. i saw frank luntz, i think made a very, very, good observation, which is one of the hardest things to get past with the pubucis things to get past with the public is what the public see as betrayal. and actually, when you make promises to the public about what you're going to deren about what you're going to deliver, then for whatever reason, you don't, whether it's
10:25 pm
covid ukraine or whatever, when you make a series of promises in a manifesto, or as the pm did when he came in his five promises, and you aren't delivering on them, then the pubuc delivering on them, then the public are going to ask a question. but you bring a real challenge. >> but you bring in the promises and i will agree betrayal. but you bring in the five promises. but the public probably felt betrayed. well before that, i mean, let's i mean, for example, let's say getting rid of boris johnson, who was the person who gave them the 80 seat majority. ultimately, people vote for a party. yes, via mps. but the head of that party does determine a lot of people's vote. and the tory party got rid of boris johnson. yeah. >> and look, i've not i don't think i've spoken about this probably before. but the night before boris resigned i was in number 10. i flew back from northern ireland. i can remember saying to the pm at the time, the, the, the situation we were in was, was the situation, the numbers of the numbers. and he couldn't feel the government had all these resignations. what i thought was fundamentally wrong with that was ultimately and i said this to him, the public gave him the mandate. and i think the same way that the conservative party removed margaret thatcher, whatever you think of where boris was, and i
10:26 pm
know a lot of our mps and colleagues and people across the country had views about where bofis country had views about where boris was at the time and what had happened with various things. but the reality is the pubuc things. but the reality is the public had given him a mandate to deliver. and when, when, when you then renege on that as a party and say, well, actually we know the public gave you the mandate, but we've decided something else that's a challenging place to be. and i think it's very hard. that's one of those issues around not delivering you know, the public had a the government stood with bofis had a the government stood with boris as prime minister. then the parliamentarians took a different view. that's a hard hurdle to get over. well, obviously no getting away. >> then they got rid of an ally, which was liz truss. yes. and they literally, chucked her out to see her mini—budget didn't go down. well, but really, it can't fully be blamed on her. she then sacked her chancellor. was was a huge mistake. but then rishi took over and brought back david cameron. why bring back david? >> well , that's a question you'd >> well, that's a question you'd have to ask rishi. look, i served i was david, i got elected with david as our leader of our party and obviously
10:27 pm
served under him as a as a junior minister when he was prime minister. i joined the cabinet with theresa may, but david made me a minister. first of all, i'm a big fan of david's. i think having somebody of david's stature and experience coming back into government, i actually think is a good thing, potentially for the country. i think it was all but it was challenging. if you're the prime minister who's saying to the country as rishi was, i am changed, but then you bnng was, i am changed, but then you bring back david from previous years that conflicts . and it was years that conflicts. and it was interesting how the party then dropped the sort of change message. i think he had no choice about that at that point. and look, i served with liz. i supported liz to be leader. i still think what liz was trying to do was the right thing. i appreciate, obviously the way it was delivered didn't work and we saw the repercussions of that. but i think actually one of the things that the country wants to see and i think we as a party need to do be more, powerful in our messaging around and actually show what we could have doneis actually show what we could have done is actually to reduce the pressure on people, reduce taxes on people, to show that you can run government more efficiently and more effectively, to allow people to choose themselves how they spend the money in their pocket, rather than having such
10:28 pm
a high proportion of tax. and that's something that we as conservatives need to be stronger on. >> well, you have brought us one of the highest tax burdens ever. but lord frost suggests a new movement to revive conservatism based on conservative ideas and reaching out to everyone who wants to see them prosper. one day again, do you think that that's a dream that may come true? and how soon do you think the conservatives, because i think they're going to lose. how long is it going to be before they come back? >> well, as i said to you, there's i think there's a huge number of seats across the country that i recognise the polling. i'm a realist about that. but within that polling there's still a lot of seats that are with a lot of work in the next week and certain things happening could go either way. so we're not quite sure what the outcome will be. there is only really one poll next thursday that really matters, but i think ultimately we're a party and the strength of our party has always been our membership. i saw this as chairman in 2019 when we had the leadership election campaign going around the country again in 2022. sadly, we had to do it again. but our members are brilliant and we are a membership led party. well, perhaps, and i think our members
10:29 pm
are going to be key to making sure that the party is able to resuscitate rebuild if we need to come friday, and to give us an impetus to go forward, be a credible opposition if we're in opposition, i'm not a betting man. >> don't do it, please. not now. but if we're in that, if we're in that space, i think we need to remember our members are the heart and soul of our party. >> well, if that's the case, maybe next time, listen to them. >> yeah. no, absolutely. >> yeah. no, absolutely. >> brandon lewis, thank you very much. really good to talk to you.thank you so much. right well, coming up, my panel return to
10:30 pm
10:31 pm
10:32 pm
good evening. this is patrick christys tonight. only on gb news with me. nana akua. now it's news with me. nana akua. now wsfime news with me. nana akua. now it's time to bring you tomorrow's news. tonight in the most entertaining paper. review on telly. the very first front pages have just been delivered for my press pack. right. so the front cover of the mirror starts
10:33 pm
with. i could hearjay slipping on the rocks. and this is the missing brit who has gone. that is in the mirror. that'd be an interesting story to read. so that feels like a sort of fresh new bit of news, right? next up, the eye. now this leads with uk pubuc the eye. now this leads with uk public sends clear message to labour and tories save britain's rivers. now this is something that ed davey was talking about. and now suddenly the major parties are picking it up, which is, i'd say, a good thing all around really. the independent which on that front cover, the pm hurt and angry at p—word race slur by farage activist. and then obviously we've got the images of joe biden and of course donald trump. joe biden stumbling performance at the daily express. rishi, may my hurt and anger at daughters heanng hurt and anger at daughters hearing racist slur. i mean, of course this is an extension of the earlier story. and then in the earlier story. and then in the daily star, man, baby beats up doddery old bloke on live tv. you can always rely on them for
10:34 pm
one of those. and then, of course, the daily telegraph biden is given one week to stand down. and also there's another story under their labour plan to ration middle class access to services. justin, that'll make an interesting read tomorrow. so those are the front pages. so i'm joined now by my press pack. former bbc chief political correspondent john sergeant, former apprentice starjoana former apprentice star joana jarjue, also a political commentator. alex armstrong. commentator. alex arm strong. right. commentator. alex armstrong. right. so let's have a look at the telegraph front page. so biden's given one week to stand down. joana jarjue does that sound reasonable? >> you know what? i've defended biden for a very, very long time. and i've, you know, said for as for long as long as i can, for as long as i can, i've been clinging on and saying, you know, but it's fine, it's fine. but now, it's starting to get, you know, a bit scary. and i actually think that he's had other moments that have been, you know, worse and i've seen, you know, worse and i've seen, you know, worse and i've seen, you know, him defending himself and saying, you know, at least i'm not a liar. i might have
10:35 pm
lost my touch when it came, comes to my bazaars when i'm doing debates. and when he was speaking to the crowd, he was so much better. so i just don't understand. it's so unpredictable. >> it's the medical, the medication, the mischief, the should have, like, had him pop a pill or something, you know, or whatever medication is on before the actual, you know, i think he did. >> it just wore off after 20 minutes. yeah. >> also he's heavily advised and that once, once you're advised by five people saying, do say this, make sure you say that and don't then add this and don't know. don't add to this. do this. he's confused, isn't he? and when you're that age, i should know a bit about that, you're not that old, john. >> i've got another year to go. no, i'm 80. >> never. yes. >> never. yes. >> no, i'm. >> no, i'm. >> are you looking good on it? >> are you looking good on it? >> but you do a betterjob of president in the joe biden. yeah. >> anyway, i think we all were. >> anyway, i think we all were. >> you know, you feel the cognitive failure there and watching two hours of it, which i did this morning, having recorded it. and i just thought how awful and how sad , you know. how awful and how sad, you know. >> well, i mean, look, it was a disastrous performance, wasn't it? even even the most loyal
10:36 pm
democrat would struggle to say anything good about their leader's performance. and finally, joe joana jarjue has also admitted that exceeded awful. but step forward jill biden with this bizarre speech at campaign hq. >> joe, you did such a great job. you answered every question. you knew all the facts i >> -- >> and let me ask the crowd , >> and let me ask the crowd, what did trump do ? why aren't what did trump do? why aren't it's embarrassing and biden's back rallying in north carolina today but looks completely lost and confused as joe biden delivers another impassioned speech i saw in him , then the speech i saw in him, then the same character that i see in him today. >> and even though he has faced unimaginable tragedies , his unimaginable tragedies, his optimism is undaunted . his optimism is undaunted. his strength is unshakeable , his strength is unshakeable, his hopeis strength is unshakeable, his hope is undeterred. here in nonh hope is undeterred. here in north carolina and across america, who are working hard to
10:37 pm
find a secure place in the middle class. >> i think we've just seen who's running america. >> yeah, yeah . >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> alex, what do you think of it? >> seriously, it is like, unfortunately, it's it sounds horrible to say, but it's like a carer, isn't it? >> it's like talking down to him like a child. he's just standing there. doesn't even know where he is. he looks completely devoid of any knowledge about what he's doing, where he is. frankly, this is embarrassing for america, and a lot of us have been saying this for years, and unfortunately, people like joana jarjue the penny has just dropped off the last night, but the penny dropped for me about two three years ago when i saw you stumble, i think, i think it was took you so long to run. >> a lot of people, a lot of these people on the democratic side saying, oh god, joe biden. look, the other day he was talking to nobody. next there's a parachute guy landed. he's talking to nobody. he looked like he was doing something with his pants when he sat down. and he had to be lifted. i mean, come on, people. >> i think it's because it's dangerous now. >> it's getting closer and closer to having his finger on the red button for the last few
10:38 pm
minutes. >> dangerous. now >> dangerous. now >> don't know why people are excited about joe biden is they think that she's the one who's going to deliver the coup de grace, and she won't know. there will be a team of people who, over the next few days when they get all the opinion poll evidence in and we'll get all the reports from all the main people in the party, and they will simply say, look, do you want 24 hours to think about this? i tell you, this is the dossier. would you read that through, mr president? we're not being disloyal to you. you go away and think about it. and this is the equivalent, in the old phrase of westminster, of giving someone a silver revolver on a silver platter, you know, a revolver with a glass of whisky. >> what is getting them? >> what is getting them? >> do what you got to do. >> do what you got to do. >> they hear michelle obama is picking out the drapes for the oval office as we speak, because that's where they think is coming next. so i bet they can't wait to get rid of joe biden to drop airdrop her in at the last minute. >> she doesn't want to do it. >> she doesn't want to do it. >> well, that's what who says that in saying this that they want the top job? >> would be the best incentive because we've always seen, you know, the clips of them and
10:39 pm
having, you know, a really close relationship. and i think that, you know, joe biden will probably be in a position where he'll say, if i'm going to stand down for anybody, and if i respect anybody to take my place, i don't think that he would do it for kamala harris. but i think that when it comes to michelle obama, my wife, he should do it for america and for the rest of the world, for goodness sake. >> but next up, sir ed davey of the liberal democrats was the final leader to be interviewed by the bbc's nick robinson. have a listen. >> it's a tough question, but it's one i think you've reflected on that. >> given your role that we've discussed in austerity, the broken promise on tuition fees, the failure to stop the post office scandal when some people think you had the chance to do so, are you the man who can help restore trust in politics? >> well, that would be the voters decision. and what i say to the voters is, look how we've developed the party. >> the fact that we're talking about the nhs and care, your issues, the fact we're talking about the cost of living crisis you've suffered, the fact we're talking about the environment and things like sewage, listen to us and come and vote for us, please. >> because davey is really going the extra mile to win those
10:40 pm
votes in this final week of campaigning, he's going to embark on a 1343 mile tour of john o'groats to land's end. i didn't even need to read that. i knew the numbers. i knew that's what he was going to do. there'll be some there'll be some water somewhere on his travel. >> say it wasn't thorpe park. >> say it wasn't thorpe park. >> he's going to visit. >> he's going to visit. >> well, that almost sounds like a joke , but it's true. a joke, but it's true. >> true. >> true. >> it's going to visit seats that the liberal democrats are hoping to take from the tories and the snp. and no doubt there'll be a few more stunts along the way, now, i was going to say, i mean, it's good that others are picking up his messaging though, because on the front cover of the eye, the pubuc front cover of the eye, the public sends a clear message to labour and the tories save britain's rivers. so something that he's doing is getting through isn't it. yeah. >> yeah. and well i mean i think we're all shocked by it. i mean, you know, every day you suddenly told places that you've known for years and to the idea that henley should be a place for e coli crazy. i mean, that is when you think that someone died of e coli, the first one of the recent thing. it can be a fiendish, horrible illness
10:41 pm
created by this. yeah. and you remember a few years ago when it was that guy that swam the whole length of the thames as a. >> oh, yeah. i can't remember his name. >> a comedian, nice guy. and he was ill afterwards. and people said, oh, how strange, i'm sure the river thames is all right. no, it's not all right. >> well, eastenders have got a painted blue at the moment, haven't they? williams yeah, i think it was williams. yeah, that's just it. >> yeah . just disgraceful. yeah. >> yeah. just disgraceful. yeah. >> yeah. just disgraceful. yeah. >> disgraceful. well listen, don't forget gb news will be live in essex on election night as michelle dewberry and patrick christys host our exclusive coverage as the polls draw to a close. it's going to be very exciting. so if you want to be part of our live audience in essex with patrick and michelle, then apply. now. either you can scan the qr code on the screen or visit gb news.com/election coverage right coming up. but next prince harry has been accused of deliberately destroying potential evidence in his latest phone hacking case. are his endless legal battles
10:42 pm
doing more harm than good to his reputation? this is patrick christys tonight with me nana akua only on gb news
10:43 pm
10:44 pm
this is patrick christys tonight. only on gb news. it's time to return to the liveliest paper. review on the telly. and more front pages have been delivered hot off the press . right. so the off the press. right. so the first we've got the daily mail front cover of the daily mail. boris, britain can still swerve starmageddon . yeah, that's what starmageddon. yeah, that's what he's saying. but, a lot of them , he's saying. but, a lot of them, the reason we're in this mess is because of them . then on the because of them. then on the front cover of the times , kemi front cover of the times, kemi badenoch says voters must see through farage act. and then more on joe biden as well. democrats discussing whether to ditch him and then the front cover of the guardian. biden's shaky tv debate sparks calls to quit the race. he really needs
10:45 pm
to go, doesn't he? he does really . how long have you given really. how long have you given him to leave? >> not not anything else. well, i think they'll do it right at the last minute to give the new candidate less scrutiny because the less scrutiny a new candidate gets, the better. >> i think also, what's going to do? act when the pressure is on. that's when you can force all sorts of proper, sensible changes. you say, look, we've got no more time. this is it. that's what they need. >> well, sir, and joana jarjue well, i think it'll all depend on the american media. >> cnn has basically been falling apart recently, and i think you know, losing their minds after this. and i think any more interaction between biden and trump will just make it spiral more. >> well, well, well, now to prince harry. he's facing accusations that he deliberately destroyed potential evidence relating to his phone hacking claim against the sun's publisher. now, a high court judge ordered the duke of sussex to personally explain why and how drafts of his memoir spare her messages. got that memoir getting him in so much trouble. messages exchanged with his ghost—writer were destroyed well after he sued news group
10:46 pm
newspapers in 2019. mr justice fancourt said it was troubling that the documents and conversations have been deleted. when the case was already well underway. ngn's lawyer , anthony underway. ngn's lawyer, anthony hudson kc, suggested this was done deliberately, but in response, harry's lawyer david sherborne, said that only a handful of the 35,000 emails were relevant. so john are these endless legal battles doing more harm than good to prince harry? >> well, it depends, you know, if he wins in the end, people will say, what a marvellous struggle. and, you know, he, you know , he succeeded if he wants know, he succeeded if he wants to spend his time and his money on this. but, i mean, it does seem to be an extraordinary sort of chase after nothing very much . and of course, it's all about him and it's all about them and it's all and i think the public look on this, i certainly do just think, oh, for goodness sake, do we have to endure months and months of this sort of narcissistic whingeing, you know, sort of self—love on such
10:47 pm
an extraordinary the only person who's suing them? >> there's other people. the only difference is that we care more, this country cares more, the media cares more. and i think it's about the principle for him. it's not because he's wanting some big payout and compensation. it's about what he's gone through personally, from being a child to all the way to being an adult. and i think that it's really crucial to acknowledge, yeah, i really do feel sorry for him. >> i really do feel sorry for him. multimillionaire. let's talk about let's talk about. >> no. >> no. >> can i just say we're talking about finish? >> can i just say it's really crucial that this isn't other incriminating, you know , incriminating, you know, evidence he's deleted. these are draft. no, but these are drafts from his memoir, spare. and obviously, if some of these things could have been leaked, then all the media would have been all the way through it. so i actually think that he probably has a good case and justification as to why the drafts of spare me , johanna drafts of spare me, johanna talks about harry's principles, but this is a bloke that lied, clearly lied on his visa. >> his. well, you just said that you just said it's about the principle. >> well, let's think about the
